Town of Windsor Staff

The Windsor Climate Resilience Plan was developed and driven by the Town of Windsor. The Plan provides the necessary foundation and framework for Town Staff, the Town’s elected officials, and a diverse community of stakeholders to continue to make critical decisions that address the Town’s climate change related risk. The Town was fortunate to already have foundation in place to develop this Plan based on a variety of local and regional planning efforts including the Town and County Hazard Mitigation Plan, the Sonoma County Community Wildfire Protection Plan, the Sonoma County Resilience and Recovery Framework, and the Town’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction (GHG) Plan. The development of the Climate Resilience Plan was the next step in the journey to increase the resilience of the community.
