American Flood Coalition

Advancing solutions to flooding

Our mission

Driving transformational adaptation to protect communities from higher seas, stronger storms, and more frequent flooding.

Floods are devastating local communities, families, and businesses across the country

It's getting worse. But we haven't had meaningful flood policy reform in decades

AFC empowers a diverse coalition of leaders advancing flood solutions at the local, state, and federal levels

This is the decade to transform U.S. adaptation policy with innovative and community-informed solutions

AFC is leading the way

How we do it

We work at the local, state, and federal levels, driving meaningful, lasting, and transformational change.

We work with cities, towns, and counties; elected officials; and military, business, and civic leaders to build and advance solutions that help keep their communities safe.

Why this matters

We work to save lives, spare communities from the hardship caused by flooding, and save taxpayer dollars. Every $1 invested in resilience ahead of a disaster saves $13 in recovery and economic costs, and untold heartache.
