Communities need to learn from recent floods, consider the social justice implications of handling disasters, and realize they can’t take on the complexities of flood preparation solo. https://lnkd.in/gRNRg4-s

One of the biggest contributors to foundation flooding is disconnected (or wrongly directed) downspouts. The purpose of these little guys is to direct water away from your home, away from the foundation. If these are not connected correctly, or directing water along your foundation, that water can seep into your foundation. Walk around your home and check this very basic item that can wreck so much havoc! #keepdirtonsite #stormwatermanagement #womeninconstruction

Would you know what to do to keep your family and neighbors safe if you receive an emergency warning for extreme heat or flooding? 🌇🌊 If you don't know, you are not alone. Flash floods can quickly overwhelm even the places we expect to be safe and dry. For communities that already struggle with limited public transportation and lack of access to healthy food, these are an even greater risk. For public policy to do better, the first step is knowing better. The #Resilience4Communities program is listening to residents in Boston, Houston, Greater Manchester and Melaka to understand what they know, think and believe about their community’s risks and their strengths. Through a process of co-designing and prioritizing resilience projects, the R4C program is on a mission to amplify their voices and work with local governments to implement solutions. #NewVoiceinResilience

We need governments to think bigger and bolder in their approach to flood mitigation. We need multiple interventions constructively used together to form a well-thought-out plan that complements each intervention. Emphasis on community resilience is not enough; people are powerless to enforce a wider, bigger, more sustainable approach. We need to be realistic; flooding has proven to be more frequent, and this is going to increase, and there seems to be no urgency to the situation from governments. As mentioned in this interview, no action happens because the government's FDGiA funding criteria are failing rural areas. Many rural communities are not cost-effective to protect! #NationalFloodForum #Flooding #FloodRecovery #PostFlood #RecoverySteps https://lnkd.in/dwuy7Avx

Grateful to City of Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and Councillor Clarke Kelly for showing me around Constance Bay, one of the areas affected by the 2019 floods. Speaking with them puts into perspective the importance of our government’s continued efforts to enhance #Ontario’s Flooding Strategy and update the technical guidelines, which will help build stronger and safer communities.
