Post Carbon's new guidebook for local governments is about to go to press -- please help us make it as up to date as possible!

The Guidebook includes a list U.S. and Canadian municipalities that have taken some kind of action to recognize or respond to the changing oil and natural gas situation. If your municipal government has done anything that's explicitly related to peak oil and/or gas, such as pass a resolution, release a study, form a study commission, collaborate with a citizen's group, or make a policy change, please send a note to Daniel Lerch at daniel@postcarbon.org right away.

Please provide as much of the following information as you can:

- Municipality, County, State/Province.
- Description of the Action.
- Significant dates (just months is fine) related to the action, such as when planning began, when a resolution was passed, when a policy was implemented.
- Name(s) of main municipal official(s) involved.
- Names of any other groups involve (i.e., citizen's group, business association, etc.)
- Any interesting supporting information, such as background on why the action was taken, how it came about, etc.

Please note that for this Guidebook project we are looking for actual local government actions, not citizen group actions that do not involve government agencies. We are interested in actions that demonstrate that the municipality has taken official action that somehow acknowledges the issue of oil/gas vulnerability, whether it's under the guise of "peak oil," "energy security," "energy independence," etc.
We're especially interested in hearing about municipalities in the U.S.
South, the U.S. Midwest and the Canadian East.

If we're not able to include your information in the Guidebook, we will include it in the upcoming project website. Thanks!
