FloodReadyCommunities-Winooski

What Is Your Community’s Level of Flood Resilience?
This scorecard helps communities visualize the actions that other communities up and downstream of them have taken to minimize economic risks during a flood. Such actions can help – or lack of actions can harm – surrounding communities during a flood event. Scorecard users should recognize that the suite of policies towns have adopted must be both enforced and implemented holistically in a community (e.g., not removing a village from a fluvial erosion hazard area) to provide effective resilience during a flood. Additionally, there may be a variety of other actions that towns with high ratings in this scorecard can take to be most resilient in a flood.
