Following the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, communities in Sanibel, Captiva, and Southwest Florida are working towards recovery. To aid in this process, SCCF Coastal Resilience Manager Carrie Schuman, Ph.D. is offering a comprehensive guide on how to increase the region’s resilience against future storms and the impacts of climate change.
This informative guide, which focuses on tax credits, rebates, and other financial incentives, outlines four key steps towards building resilience:
- Energy Generation
- Energy Efficiency
- Transportation
- Hurricane Proofing
This guide includes a variety of available financial incentives that can help homeowners, businesses, and other entities — such as nonprofits, schools, and municipalities — make some of these choices while taking advantage of potentially significant savings.
Schuman reminds us of other long-term benefits as well.
By adopting solar and other renewable energy sources, you will become less dependent on both a volatile fossil fuel market and the availability of backup power as battery technology improves. By choosing energy-efficient appliances, you can help streamline overall energy usage, resulting in lower bills. Savings range from hundreds of dollars to several thousand.
