Developed by Earth Force with FEMA and the ASFPM Foundation, the RISE Challenge pairs Earth Force’s educational framework with FEMA expertise and partners to advance natural hazards education and help build more resilient communities.
Mitigation Interpretive Sign Project
The Illinois Association for Floodplain and Stormwater Management is partnering with communities across Illinois to install interpretive signs that showcase local flood mitigation projects. These kiosks educate residents, build public support, and highlight real-world examples of floodplain and stormwater management. Featuring ASFPM, state chapter, and local community logos, the project is designed to be easily replicated nationwide.
