Flood Health & Community Resilience
We connect researchers and community partners working on the health impacts of flooding — from physical and mental health outcomes to long-term recovery — with a focus on under-resourced Appalachian communities.
Social & Economic Dimensions
We bring together experts examining how structural inequities, geographic isolation, and financial vulnerability shape who is most at risk and what meaningful recovery requires.
Infrastructure & Adaptation Planning
We are network practitioners, planners, and researchers working on adaptive strategies for water, energy, and transportation systems in flood-affected communities. We are building connections between regional colleges, universities, and local organizations to grow a resilient workforce rooted in Appalachia.
Community-Led Policy & Action
Our mission is to challenge the status quo, embrace innovation, and create meaningful, lasting impact through everything we do. Driven by a vision to inspire change and push boundaries, we deliver work that truly makes a difference.
