Refocusing Flood Risk Management: Community-Centered Mitigation and Recovery

Monday, July 10, 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. MDT
Location: Spruce

Much is changing in the way floods are managed. From mitigation to recovery, governments are recognizing that past efforts often prioritized property over people and that those least resilient to flood impacts are also the least likely to receive aid. Panelists in this session will discuss research that has revealed inequities in flood aid distribution. They will also describe how the Justice40 initiative has empowered federal agencies to do things differently by developing innovative models for more equitably serving communities at risk to flooding.
