This is a pattern with this administration . From withdrawing grants to adding more red tape. The focus is not on people or improving the process.

Hurricane Harvey changed how many Houston residents understand flood risk in their city. The latest #MitigationMatters research report examines the city’s home repair and elevation program and the way it has transformed some neighborhoods and not others: bit.ly/3GopGnZ
Flood-risk maps communicate vital safety information. But the latest #MitigationMatters research in flood-prone Vermont communities found that inaccessibility or perceived inaccuracy can deter people from using maps: bit.ly/4bahMdi
Building wildfire resiliency now means protecting our homes, communities, and future.

What factors help or hinder the implementation of flood mitigation? This #MitigationMatters report looks at how one working group in Minnesota managed to complete more than a dozen flood control projects in the rural communities of the Red River Basin: bit.ly/3C78zFc
An informational flyer on research about earthquake mitigation. Specifically, the research examines a process to improve the implementation of unreinforced masonry retrofits that took place between 2014 and 2017 in Portland, Oregon. This research is a part of the Natural Hazards Center's Mitigation Matters Research Brief series.
People form relationships with the places where they live, work, and gather. This #MitigationMatters case study about earthquake mitigation in Portland, OR, shows how to strengthen mitigation policy by incorporating a focus on those relationships: bit.ly/409mJOq
An informational flyer on research about fire-resistant and energy-efficient fungi-based building materials. Specifically, the research explores fungi-based materials as an alternative to quick-burning synthetic insultation and wood. This research is a part of the Natural Hazards Center's Mitigation Matters Research Brief series.
Could houses built with fungi hold up better during #wildfires? This recent #MitigationMatters research suggests that engineered woods and insulation made from fungi may be more fire-resistant—and more energy efficient—than traditional building materials: bit.ly/4g4Kv4T
An informational flyer on research about opportunities to improve flood hazard mapping and municipal practice. Specifically, the research focuses on zoning for flood risk reduction in five Virginia communities. This research is a part of the Natural Hazards Center's Mitigation Matters Research Brief series.
Flooding is the most frequent and costliest hazard in the U.S., but flood maps and zoning laws can mitigate flood risk. This #MitigationMatters research examines local laws in Virginia to learn how communities can better manage floodplains: bit.ly/3VAHIIq
