When Waters Rise: Adirondack Flooding Risk, Response, and Resilience

Through real-world examples, art, and local voices, we’ll examine how communities are adapting through engaging panel discussions and breakout sessions. Attendees will be able to continue the conversation with optional afternoon field trips to regional sites. Whether you work in science, government, emergency management, or simply care about your community, this event will connect you with the knowledge, tools, and people shaping the future of flood resilience in the Adirondacks.

 

The Adirondacks are defined by water - rushing rivers, quiet wetlands, mountain streams, and deep winter snowpack. But when that water moves faster, higher, and more unpredictably, it reshapes communities, landscapes, and lives. This summer, join scientists, artists, community leaders, emergency responders, and residents from across the Adirondack region for a half-day conference highlighting one of the region’s most pressing challenges – flooding. Together, we’ll explore what makes the Adirondacks vulnerable to powerful flood events, how communities have responded and adapted to flood damage, and how we can be better prepared for rising waters.
