Website with links to more than 20 resources relating to floodplain reconnection. These include handbooks on floodplain reconnection, using nature to mitigate flood damage, and floodplain planning strategies.

This 2-day course, hosted by Florida Sea Grant, provides an in-depth dive into the design, permitting, implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of living shorelines for various types of property owners.

Resource library that provides managers with best practices for managing forests within urban areas as opposed to street trees or landscaped parks.

*Includes: Stormwater Management Model (SWMM), National Stormwater Counter (SMC), Green Infrastructure Wizard (GiWizard), Watershed Management Optimization Tool (WMOST), Visualizing Ecosystems for Land Management Asessment (VELMA) Model, Green Infrastructure Flexible Model (GIFMod), Community-enabled Lifecycle Analysis of Stormwater Infastructure Costs (CLASIC) Tool, and the Integrated Decision Support Tool (i-DST)

This resource guide provides a brief overview of green ifnrastructre interventions before explaining green infrastructure/engineering soutions to 11 infrastructure planning concerns. Each section breaks down specific engineering design options to address the issue, design and siting considerations, monitoring and evaluation resources, and tips on raising awareness and education about the topic issue.

This toolkit provides basic information about green roofs, their benefits, installation considerations, and maintenance needs.

Also developed by NOAA, this guidebook outlines the physical, ecological, and policy considerations that influence a living shoreline creation project. Emphasis is given to the site suitability factors for successful projects.

This guide is the comprehensive policy document for FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), HMGP Post Fire, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) programs.

EPA's Healthy Watersheds Program vision is to protect and maintain the aquatic ecological integrity of watersheds and supporting habitat networks to ensure that future generations may enjoy these resources and the social and economic benefits that they provide.The site includes several resource to design outreach plans, locate existing watershed restoration projects, and guidance on developing a watershed health index to evaluate your own watershed. 

This report reviews a vision for designing a road network that incorporate WRCS for human and wildlife benefits. It includes a description of common challenges faced when installing these structures.

FEMA's Community Rating System can be used to offer communities credits to reduce policyholders' flood insurance premiums when appropriate flood risk reduction measures are taken. One way to earn credits is through floodplain (open space) conservation. This guide explains how to earn credits in areas already under protection agreements and ways to earn additional credits.

Software that provides tree benefit estimation science through various tools and support.

This report seeks to quanitfy the restoration benefits of EarthCorps invasive species management projects in the Puget Sound. It details practical methods to evaluate the benefits of different invasive management activites.

This report seeks to quanitfy the restoration benefits of an EarthCorpswetland enhancement project in Bellingham, WA. It details practical ways to evaluate the benefits of different restoration methods.

This website provides information to fire managers in the states surrounding the great lakes.

This training encompasses the technical aspects of implementing and maintaining living shoreline creation projects. The authors provide in-depth design guidelines and information about the permitting process.

Beavers are an integral part of stream ecology, but also can create hazards. This helps managers mitigate hazards while maximizing benefits from beavers by analyzing mitigation measures and reintroduction strategies.

This instructor-led course prepares participants to successfully plan/implement green/natural infrastrcuture projects in their coastal communities. It includes a self-guided virtual module and an in-person event where participants work with local experts to develop a green infrastructure strategy. An online version of the course is offered.

This implementation guide helps transportation professionals determine how and when to use NBS to make coastal roads and bridges more resilient. It discusses potential benefits, design and planning considerations, site assessment guidance, summarizes permitting approaches, construction considerations, and monitoring and maintenance strategies. It also links to several decisions upport tools, site characterization tools, and summarizes suggested performance metrics for evaluating completed projects.

This resource repository includes 3 guides to using NBS to mitigate natural hazards, and includes resources detailing types of NBS, assistance with the planning process, compliance/permitting, funding sources,and trainings through FEMA and FEMA's partners.
