RIFMA wants to showcase you!
With the continued threats of climate change, sea level rise, and inland flooding, RIFMA wants to showcase all the important work that its members are doing every day!
RIFMA’s Flood Talk Friday Webinar is a platform for any RIFMA member to share (and brag) about programs, projects and events that work towards Rhode Island flood mitigation and resilience. For one hour, you’ll have a captive audience of like-minded flood-obsessed peers! We are trying to fill the first six months of 2023 (dates below) from 12-1pm. If you are interested in showcasing your work, please send a few sentences describing your project/event/program to rhodeislandfma@gmail.com.
If you can’t wait to share, please post to our social media sites or send us content for the RIFMA Flood Vents Newsletter! We can’t wait to hear from you!

The Dam Atlas
Emily was a part of the National Science Foundation Future of Dams grant looking at aging dam infrastructure in New England. She researched and practiced methods to engage communities in decision making around their local dam. Growing out of that research, she has continued to collaborate with Art Gold to develop the Narragansett Bay Dam Atlas, an online platform that includes information to help the public understand the complex social-ecological dynamics of dams, case studies, decision support tools, and an interactive map of all the dams in the Narragansett Bay Watershed.
