WATCH: Our State Government Affairs Director Anne Brody testified before the Georgia House Study Committee on Disaster Mitigation and Resilience about our work driving flood resilience around the country and how we can scale those solutions to communities throughout the state.

We're still reflecting on our work with partners @CSGSouth and @NLintheUSA where we brought leaders from 10 states to the Netherlands to learn directly from the Dutch and each other on flood challenges and solutions.
With storms getting stronger, it is crucial that we explore innovative flood resilience efforts to empower our communities.
Communities in Florida are dealing with the devastating impacts of Hurricane Milton, while many are still recovering from Helene - something that we're unfortunately seeing as storms get stronger and more frequent.
To support leaders during the aftermath of Milton, we have compiled these resources to aid in recovery - including details for FEMA Public and Individual Assistance, a checklist for tackling immediate needs, and keys to setting up a long-term recovery.

We developed the #StateResilience Partnership to address the need for a comprehensive approach to flood resilience.
Here are five things states should consider when managing state flood protection:
States are the cornerstone for coordinating large-scale flood risk reduction - allocating millions in funding, influencing planning, and having a top-down view on how to conduct risk assessments. 💡

States need the most accurate and up-to-date data to build plans for managing flood risk. Here's more from @StateResilience Partnership - a group we convened to support state leaders as they craft resilience strategies: 👇👇
Before states invest in flood adaptation, they need the correct data to understand what is at risk and properly plan ahead.
