Help inform Deerfield Valley’s Flood Resiliency Plan!
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to help Dover, Readsboro, Whitingham, and Wilmington adapt to climate change and mitigate flood risk by creating equitable and lasting tools that connect public concerns with meaningful analysis. By honoring both local knowledge and regional data, we strive to identify the opportunities of varied futures.
What We Heard from Residents
“We need to think about acting more regionally because we’re being forced into it. It makes sense to get out ahead of it.”
- Sam Kondracki, Wilmington“Locals are realizing their children won’t be able to live here.”
- Gig Zboray, Whitingham, on affordable housing “I shouldn’t have been allowed to rebuild… nobody should build or be allowed to rebuild in a floodplain.”
- Steve Butler, Wilmington, on rebuilding after Tropical Storm Irene
Play Our Game!
The Ready or Not: The Climate Challenge is a strategic board game that allows participants to discover the complexity of local governance and resilience planning through a fun, self-guided activity. The game is a multi-player (2-8 participants) tool that helps residents learn while forging closer bonds with their neighbors and sparking meaningful conversations about their shared community.
