Baltimore Urban Waters Flood Science and Policy Action Report

The Baltimore Urban Waters Flood Science and Policy Action Report is a summary of the proceedings of a regional flood mitigation workshop which took place in 2020.  The workshop, organized by a committee of the Baltimore Urban Waters Partnership, brought together over 80 stakeholders, focused on identifying gaps between flood science and regulatory frameworks and producing recommendations to guide future partnership efforts to address regional flooding in central Maryland, especially related to social vulnerability and community resilience building.  The report highlights findings and recommendations across five issue areas: flood science and impacts, technical resources, government coordination, equity/social vulnerability and outreach/education.
