Reducing Flood Risk: 13 Success Stories

Join ICLEI USA and The Pew Charitable Trusts for a webinar to discuss the culmination of Pew’s research, a report entitled “Mitigation Matters,” which identifies 13 proactive local or state policies that have effectively reduced flood risk. The report, which can be accessed here, organizes policies into three categories: 1) those leveraging existing funds for mitigation by redirecting revenue and spending, such as rebates and grants, 2) those creating revenue sources through taxes and revolving loans, and 3) those that establish smarter regulations like placing guardrails on floodplain development. During the webinar, Pew’s Matt Fuchs and Sarah Edwards will discuss key takeaways and lessons learned from the research.
