Through the Urban Flooding & Equity for Vulnerable Communities Collaborative, River Network’s goal is to enhance the ability of local watershed and community-based organizations to catalyze the type of change that is needed to address our urban water challenges – in particular regarding urban flooding. Local groups can have even greater impact by working more effectively with local leaders who make decisions related to water management and by more directly addressing the unequitable risk posed by urban flooding. The Collaborative will help participating organizations become more capable of understanding, negotiating and advocating for equitable solutions that restore urban waters, make communities more resilient to a changing climate, and protect the health of our communities.
