This effort resulted in a Climate Action and Resilience Plan Resilient Together: The Point is a neighborhood-specific “next-step” that emerged after the joint planning effort concluded in June 2021. El Punto was identified as a high-priority neighborhood because of its physical and social vulnerabilities.     WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE PLANNING PHASE OF RESILIENT TOGETHER: THE POINT?   The City of Salem hired a consultant team to develop a model of current and future climate risks and identify solutions for the area to adapt to and mitigate these risks.   The City of Salem also engaged in a Community Outreach Campaign to better understand social and physical vulnerabilities from the perspective of those living in The Point neighborhood.   The Resilient Together: The Point Final Report (2022) includes a set of recommendations the City of Salem can take to support resilience in The Point neighborhood.        WHAT HAPPENED/IS HAPPENING DURING THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE OF RESILIENT TOGETHER: THE POINT?   The City of Salem helped bring together two community groups, the Climate Resilience Leadership Council (CRLC) and Community-Based Participatory Action Research (PAR) Team to achieve the following objectives:   Design participatory research projects and skills to support community resilience initiatives   Generate resources to build climate impact awareness with The Point neighborhood in ways that are meaningful and practical to its residents.   Supported disaster preparedness in the neighborhood through culturally relevant engagement and resources, including two workshops and distributing over 130 emergency kits to Point residents.   Developed a 75% level design for a long-term flood mitigation structure for the Palmer Cove Park area in The Point neighborhood.    The Resilient Together: The Point Final Report (2024) provides an overview of collaborative governance activities from this project, as well as recommendations to improve community engagement and advance work started by residents.
