At the SC Resilience conference this week in Florence. Had the opportunity to speak on @floodcoalition work in #SouthCarolina and moderate multiple panels. This morning we hosted a session with upstate SC & WNC friends discussing how to build #resilience into #Helene recovery

🚨Big news from Alabama @GovernorKayIvey signed SB137 into law, establishing Alabama's first-ever statewide resilience council and Chief Resilience Officer. We were proud to support Rep @Brownforalabama in championing this work for years. Today, it pays off for every Alabama community in the path of hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes. Congratulations, Alabama 👏 #FloodResilience #alpolitics

After a disaster, the recovery funding gap isn't always about money. It's often about capacity. Small and mid-sized communities often lack the capacity to dedicate staff to FEMA applications, cost-share paperwork, and federal compliance while also managing the recovery itself. But when they don't get the funds to support recovery, recovery takes longer. That's a policy failure we need to fix. 🧵🛠️

🚨Big news out of Maryland Monday night. Maryland passed HB 200 flood-risk disclosure legislation for homebuyers. HB 200 requires sellers to disclose a property's flood history, FEMA status, insurance claims, and past damage before a contract is signed. It’s now awaiting Governor @iamwesmoore's signature. Buyers deserve to know a home’s flood risk upfront. Full stop. Well done, to the entire Maryland General Assembly 👏 #FloodDisclosure #FloodResilience

We have to take a moment to celebrate Alabama for taking a major step forward on resilience last week 🎉 The Alabama Legislature passed SB137, which now awaits @GovernorKayIvey's signature. SB137 will create a: 1. Permanent Resilience Council, 2. Chief Resilience Officer, 3. Statewide resilience strategy 4. Office of Risk and Resilience 5. Dedicated fund to support Council and CRO initiatives This is a major step towards building long-term flood resilience that will protect people, communities, and infrastructure in Alabama. Congratulations to Rep @Brownforalabama, @SenLivingstonAL, and the entire AL Legislature! #FloodResilience #alpolitics #Resilience

We're proud to have joined the 5th Annual Vermont Capital Planning Forum earlier this week! AFC's Anne Baker delivered a keynote alongside @buncombeGov Commissioner Drew Ball, who shared his firsthand experience navigating flood recovery and infrastructure investment in Western NC. Thank you to Commissioner Ball for his insight and to Vermont Bond Bank and the Leahy Institute for Rural Partnerships at @uvmvermont for having us. Connecting leaders from diverse geographies and experiences is central to how we build flood resilience across the country. #FloodResilience #InfrastructurePlanning #ClimateAdaptation #WesternNC #Vermont #CapitalPlanning #InfrastructureInvestment

Today, I had the opportunity to meet the fearless State and Local leaders of western North Carolina who are rebuilding their communities after the devastation of Hurricane Helene. I saw first hand hurricane damage still present and will be making sure @FEMA relief continues to help Americans rebuild their homes and communities. I am humbled and honored to serve the citizens of our great Homeland. Thanks for having me.

What happens when leaders from eastern and western NC get the chance to learn from each other? Stronger relationships, shared solutions, and a more coordinated approach to flood resilience statewide. Flooding does not stop at regional lines, and neither can our solutions. 💡 Read more about what AFC's cross-state exchange looked like in our blog 🔗 bit.ly/41LFmsJ #FloodResilience #SeaLevelRise #ClimateAdaptation #WNCParternship #ENCPartnership #FloodMitigation #StormwaterManagement #ResilientInfrastructure #WaterManagement #NorthCarolina #NC

Years after a flood, a homeowner might still be paying a mortgage on a home they can't live in. That's what a broken federal disaster system looks like up close. Our Founder and Executive Director, Melissa Roberts, shares the reality and what change can look like on the Audacious Water podcast with John Sabo. 🎙️Listen here: bit.ly/4qIfIzf #FloodPolicy #DisasterRecovery #FloodResilience #EmergencyManagement #PublicPolicy #AudaciousWater
