This report compiles and examines case studies from across the United States where communities have already implemented managed retreat to protect against future disasters. By cataloging potential tools and illustrating the practical situations in which managed retreat has been used, this handbook hopes to provide policy makers with better information on the pros and cons of managed retreat.
