Our federal approach

We work to transform federal adaptation policy to help communities adapt to increasing disasters.

We're fighting for:

Fixing federal data

Drive smarter infrastructure investments with updated and forward-looking data.

Protecting communities

Untangle federal programs to ensure taxpayer dollars get out the door faster and go further.

Empowering state leadership

Unlock proactive strategies to tackle flooding statewide.

Defending national security

Ensure military readiness for flooding so service members can train and deploy 365 days a year.

We partner with bipartisan congressional leaders to make this a reality.

We’ve recognized over 50 members of Congress as Federal Champions for their leadership, public service, and pursuit of proactive solutions to flooding.
