What we Learned - RiverSmart Communities Project

On the Institutional/policy side of the RiverSmart Communities Project, we researched groups and programs that are successfully helping communities to become river-smart.

We profile three of these:

• Vermont Rivers Program

• White River Partnership 

• Deerfield River Creating Resilient Communities

We are using our learning to inform policy recommendations in the publication Supporting New England Communities to Become River-Smart: Policies and Programs that can Help New England Towns Thrive Despite River Floods
