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.

We envision a proactive, systemic approach to flooding.

We’ve delivered $38B+ in federal investment and created policy to shape 18+ laws with our priorities

We are applying a flood resilience lens across all federal funding programs.

From Iowa to Florida, our Coalition members are building projects that fight flooding in their communities. We need to make it easier for communities to be able to protect themselves by making federal funding faster and more accessible.

How can I pay for flood projects?

Our Flood Funding Finder is the first tool of its kind that uses a robust filtering system to prioritize the needs of communities and help identify the right federal funding programs to fund flood resilience.

How can multi-cropping reduce flooding?

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.  

How can I leverage infrastructure investments?

The historic bipartisan infrastructure law gave us a once in a generation investment in flood resilience with over $34 billion for flood resilience and billions in funding across other programs.

We've outlined ways communities can leverage this funding.
