Who´s in charge?
What’s at risk?
What should we prioritize?
How do we pay for it?
How can we secure long-term change?
Our policy recommendations to the Florida legislature led to the landmark Always Ready law which has invested billions in resilience, and created the Florida Flood Hub for statewide data and modeling.
We are working in 25+ states and counting to advance flood resilience at the state level across the country.
We regularly convene state legislators and policymakers to share expertise and discuss best practices in building state-level flood resilience.
Multi-cropping can reduce flooding downstream, increase farmers' profits and improve soil health.
Our research with Iowa State University shows how farmers can lead on multi-cropping and protect communities from flooding.
Our State Resilience Partnership created a flood resilience checklist to help state planners better prepare for flooding.
States are integral partners in building flood resilience locally. Here are four strategies to carry out an effective state-to-local technical assistance program.
