EESI Short Video: Executive Director of the Association of State Floodplain Managers

Association of State Floodplain Managers Executive Director Chad Berginnis talked to EESI about how communities are dealing with flooding.

He warned that coastal flooding is a canary in the coalmine warning us about the impacts of climate change.

Questions he tackled included:

- Are people becoming aware of flood risks?
- How can natural defenses protect communities?
- Should we rebuild after a disaster, or move away?
- Why should my taxes pay for rebuilding your house?
