Flooding is the most common and costly weather-related disaster in the United States. From 2015 to 2023, Pew’s flood-prepared communities initiative supported research and advanced federal and state policies and planning that will make communities more resilient to flooding and reduce costs to taxpayers. To ensure durability of the reforms and their implementation, Pew and its partners secured more than $33 billion in public funding to support mitigation projects and programs and nature-based solutions to reduce risks throughout the country.
Pew’s resilience work continues in the U.S. conservation project.
