Living with water
Living with water focuses on one major question: How can people improve their connection to water while ensuring safety from floods? Living with water can include actions like retrofitting buildings to be flood ready, designing floating neighborhoods, or creating or redesigning waterways to allow more space for floodwaters and public recreation.
Building-scale approaches
Building-scale approaches are actions taken to make buildings more resistant to flood damage. They can be applied to new or existing homes, businesses, and other structures. These approaches include modifying interior or exterior surfaces to be more floodproof, raising buildings above potential flood levels, and protecting equipment.
