Resources for resilient counties

Around the world, more than 1.8 billion people are at risk from flooding, with climate change making natural disasters like flooding, droughts, and wildfires increasingly destructive. Damage to natural protections like wetlands and risky economic development make the threat of flooding even worse.

At EDF we’re bringing natural flooding solutions to communities. Working with partners, we’re helping communities adapt better — especially those hit the hardest — fixing unfair flooding rules and making sure nature is valued in the process. Our work cuts across economics, science, and policy to make even the most insurmountable challenges manageable.

For local leaders looking to strengthen your community's grid, improve public health, or prepare for the future, our team at EDF will work with you to create transformational solutions to the most serious environmental problems. For county officials, learn more about our official partnership with the National Association of Counties and find county-specific resources by visiting our NACo partner webpage.
