Resilient Approaches for Municipalities to Address Flooding in Mississippi: Green Infrastructure and Wetlands

A joint event of ELI and the Gulf Coast Community Design Studio

This webinar will focus on green infrastructure and wetlands as useful approaches for municipalities to protect themselves from further flooding and make their communities more resilient. Specifically, the webinar will provide information about different types of green infrastructure, as well as conventional methods to address flooding, examples of implemented green infrastructure projects, economic benefits of green infrastructure solutions, consideration of extreme weather events and increased precipitation when developing infrastructure to make infrastructure more resilient, wetlands as natural barriers to flooding, ways to prioritize wetlands based on their ability to provide most protection, and funding mechanisms that allow municipalities to submit project ideas that address flooding.
