A Roadmap to Greater Flood Resilience

Sediment Plumes

The historic flood events of 2011 highlighted the degree to which the built and natural environments are vulnerable to flood disasters. Flooding and its impacts on water quality have elevated safety risk and public health concerns. Representatives of Vermont, Québec, and New York will conduct a series of meetings to share information and examine management steps that could be taken to make the region more resilient to future flooding. Visit our developing Flood Resilience page for more information.
