Abstract

This report details the importance of nonmarket valuation techniques for community resilience planning. Community resilience planning decisions involve making trade-offs between the benefits and costs of different resilience projects. In order to make those decisions about trade-offs, the valuation of each benefit and cost must be accurately measured. Often community resilience projects involve valuing a good or service that is not sold in a traditional market, so nonmarket valuation is used in these cases. This report details different commonly used nonmarket valuation methods as well as considerations for which methods are most appropriate in given circumstances as well as additional considerations that should be included.
