As cities across the US face a barrage of climate impacts this summer, resilience is top of mind for the water sector, and one of the most common, costly, and deadly disasters we face today is flooding. But inventive solutions exist that present opportunities to build resilient communities where people live, work, and play. Water professionals, utilities, public works departments, city agencies, climate leaders, advocates, and local governments all have a role in bringing these thriving communities to fruition. We invite you to revisit our "Water Rising: Equitable Approaches to Urban Flooding" report to find collaborative strategies for a more just, climate-secure future.

Our latest research, ‘Weathering the storm: adapting Victoria’s infrastructure to climate change’, finds that action to better prepare Victoria’s infrastructure for more frequent and extreme weather can keep Victorians safer, limit disruption and reduce the costs of disaster recovery. The leading-edge research shows how to assess risks and adaptation solutions for Victorian infrastructure. It uses 3 hypothetical examples to test the assessment method: flooding and bushfire risks for Victoria’s roads and extreme wind risks for the electricity distribution network. Join Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Spear, Director of Research and Economics Llewellyn Reynders and Principal Policy Officer Caroline Evans for a live webinar and Q&A on Wednesday 1 May, 9.30am – 10.30am to discuss the findings and recommendations from our research.
