Building resilience along coasts and watersheds

The problem: Flooding is the costliest natural disaster in the United States, and millions of people are at risk. Climate change is causing stronger storms and rising sea levels, making floods more destructive and more frequent. Solutions like wetlands or mangrove forests are our best defense against flooding — but they’re too often overlooked.

What we’re doing about it: We’re working with businesses, farmers, insurance experts and policymakers to increase investment in flood protection that works with nature to protect homes and businesses. Through better flood mapping and funding solutions that protect us, we aim to strengthen communities in the U.S. that face rising risks of flooding.
