An Analysis of Resilience Planning at the Nexus of Food, Energy, Water, and Transportation in Coastal US Cities

In this peer-reviewed article by Kris Stepenuck and others, resilience plans of coastal US cities were analyzed based on the Food, Energy, Water, and Transportation (FEWT) nexus approach. The FEWT nexus approach recognizes the interconnectedness of these systems and the importance of using an integrated model in coastal resilience planning to mitigate hazards. They found little evidence the FEWT nexus approach was explicitly used in any of these resilience plans and they found inconsistencies amongst the resilience plans themselves.
