We Can Take Action To Protect Our Coastal Communities
Flooding due to sea level rise is a big challenge, but there are solutions to keep our coastal communities safe. Individuals, mayors, governors, and Congress can work together to build protections before flooding, to build back stronger after flooding, and to create plans that future-proof our communities.
Proactive Protection
We need to protect our communities before major flooding damage happens and not wait for a disaster to strike.
Building Back Stronger And Smarter
After flooding and natural disasters, we need to make our communities stronger so that they don’t face the same problem again.
Future-Proofing Our Communities
We need to set building codes and plan green infrastructure that can withstand the changes we know are coming.
Conservative Planning
We need to take a hard look at the risks of sea level rise and flooding and make realistic financial plans – just like any business hedges against risk.
