Building a more resilient nation
Helping communities build resilience through risk mitigation techniques
Natural disasters represent enormous and devasting risks to communities. As part of the Strategic Alliance for Risk Reduction II (STARR II), we work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help communities understand their risks and inspire actions to reduce potential impacts.
Our team has performed flood studies for more than 30 years covering over 150,000 miles of riverine and coastal environments. Using our expertise in hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) modeling, coastal analysis, probabilistic simulations, geographic information systems (GIS), and statutory compliance procedures, we create regulatory and flood communication products that allow communities to understand their risks. We also provide program management and technical support to FEMA headquarters, regional offices, and state partners.
Collaborating in nearly every state and island territory, we bring together more than 150 experts in floodplain management, resilience planning and mitigation activities. Our work enables communities to plan for natural disasters and recover quickly afterwards. By providing ongoing support and expertise, we’re helping to build a more resilient nation. |
