City continues to seek residents' input on climate element of Comprehensive Plan

Post Date:07/24/2025 12:00 p.m.
Just a reminder — community members are invited to share input on priorities for the new Climate Resilience Element of Walla Walla's Comprehensive Plan.

➡️ More information and a link to the resident survey are available here.

The inclusion of a climate element is mandated by House Bill 1181, which requires Washington cities and counties to include climate resilience policies in their comprehensive plan updates. 

As part of this process, the City is inviting area residents to fill out the survey to share their views on how Walla Walla should prepare for natural hazards such as rising temperatures, smoke from wildfires, more intense storms, and flooding.

The survey is available in English and Spanish, and should take about 10 minutes to complete. Responses are anonymous. 

Staff thank residents who take the time to learn about the process and provide feedback. This input is essential in shaping Walla Walla’s climate goals and policies.
