Goal

Objectives

• Explore shifts in extreme precipitation and flood risk

• Evaluate how existing and proposed storm-water infrastructure may handle future storm scenarios

• Develop community-level maps and tools to visualize probable future flood risk and impacts

• Co-design and evaluate resilience strategies aligned with community priorities and goals

The MI Resilient Watersheds Project will increase flood resilience in Michigan communities by collaborating with partners across organizations, entities, and governmental units to co-create data and tools that support informed decision-making.
