This document discusses the challenges facing coastal infrastructure in the US from rising sea levels, extreme storms, and aging infrastructure, termed the "triple threat". It advocates for a national policy shift from responding and repairing damage to planning and investing in resilience. The three goals proposed are: 1) changing national policy, 2) establishing a single federal agency for leadership, and 3) creating new dedicated federal funding. Specific policies of the Dutch in adapting to threats are cited as an alternative model to follow. The document argues for building political will for large-scale investment to protect coastal communities, the environment, and economic growth.
