Building resilience together

July 28, 2025
community response

When extreme rainfall, storm surge or other natural disasters lead to flooding, entire communities are affected – which is why entire communities need to be involved in crafting plans to increase resilience and reduce impacts. Plans that seek input not just from experts but also from residents, business owners, community leaders and local authorities benefit from the personal knowledge and lived experience that these different stakeholders bring to the table.

Strength in numbers

These plans can be bolstered by public-private partnerships that open up financing for specific projects and expand the field of resources even further. When mitigation is a group effort, new ideas are born and new opportunities arise.
