The StR processes, actions and outcomes should all be shared within and beyond the community to broaden understanding of what has taken place, if it is working, and to support neighboring jurisdictions that may be at an earlier phase of the adaptation process. Consider communication with peers in other communities through professional societies, regional government working groups, and online tools used for adaptation.
