Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association
Mission
The first acts of the newly created FSBPA were to persuade the 1957 Legislature to get the State of Florida involved in beach preservation. Two landmark bills were passed to create the State Department of Beaches and Shores and establish a research wave tank at the University of Florida.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
