States play a critical role in addressing flooding. We give state leaders the tools they need to protect communities.
We are working in 22+ states and counting to advance flood resilience at the state level all across the country.
FloridaOur 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.
North CarolinaWe’ve partnered with local leaders and state lawmakers to drive a historic $800 million investment in flood resilience and the North Carolina Flood Resiliency Blueprint.
South CarolinaWe helped create the statewide resilience plan, which identifies flood risks and prioritizes flood resilience projects, and secured recurring funding for the Office of Resilience (SCOR).
TexasWe influenced the State Flood Plan to guide over one billion dollars in flood resilience investment and set a roadmap for flood projects across the state.
State leaders need to know how to address flooding in their communities. We created the State Framework to protect against flooding in their states.
Who leads flood resilience in the state, and what authorities do they need?
How does the state determine who and what is at risk of flooding?
What is the state’s strategy for reducing flood risk and building resilience?
How does the state pay for flood resilience?
How does the state pay for flood resilience?
We founded the State Resilience Partnership, a network of over 20 organizations that brings together the best practices and expertise in 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.
