Approach

Increase resilience of facility and campground system to maintain access.

Tactics

  • Abandon campsites in higher risk locations but add sites in other locations, conserving the total number of sites.
  • Educate the public about how funds are allocated to relocate sites (but total number of sites are conserved).
  • Redirect, but not require, changes in visitor use of facilities.
