Flood Resilience Network
The Hudson Valley Flood Resilience Network is a group of riverfront communities working together to address their current and future flood risks.
People along the Hudson River have seen more flooding and extreme storms over the past decade than any other time in recent memory.
According to New York State official projections, the mid-Hudson region could experience as much as six feet of sea-level rise by 2100, creating high-tide flooding and permanent inundation of waterfront locations.
The Flood Resilience Network is a pathway to tackling this looming challenge by connecting riverfront communities to flood resilience resources and to peers in other communities.
The effort started in 2015 as a collaboration between the riverfront communities of Kingston, Piermont, and Catskill after these municipalities completed waterfront vulnerability assessments. Since then, additional riverfront communities have joined the network. The Flood Resilience Network is supported by the Hudson River Estuary Program with partners New York Sea Grant, Hudson River Watershed Alliance, the Consensus Building Institute and Scenic Hudson.
