Empowering a Resilient Community: The Town of Riverbend

The Challenge: A Proactive Approach to Risk

As a community with a history of flood events, the Town of Riverbend was committed to proactive floodplain management. However, their leadership lacked a centralized, reliable source of NFIP statistical data and financial reports. This made it difficult to accurately assess their community's risk profile and build a strong, data-backed case for government grants and funding for crucial mitigation projects. They needed a solution that would give them the tools to visualize their risk and communicate their needs effectively to state and federal agencies.

The Solution: Data Access and Strategic Partnership

NFIP Services & Consulting Group provided the Town of Riverbend with direct access to our comprehensive data platform. This solution gave them the ability to:

• Access Key Data: They could immediately pull up-to-date NFIP statistical data, financial reports, and historical flood information.
• Visualize Risk: Our visualization tools helped them create clear, compelling charts and graphs that demonstrated their community's specific risk exposure.
• Build a Stronger Case: The data provided a solid foundation for their grant applications, proving the necessity of their proposed projects.

Our team also acted as a consulting partner, guiding them on how to leverage this information to communicate their needs to state and federal agencies and secure support for their initiatives.

The Results: A Resilient Community

By implementing our platform and partnering with our team, the Town of Riverbend successfully achieved their goals. The quantifiable outcomes include:

• Secured Critical Funding: The data-backed grant applications helped them secure key funding for building new flood barriers and improving community drainage systems.
