With support from JPMORGAN CHASE, NFWF will conduct assessments of coastal resilience projects and develop new data-driven models to improve future efforts to strengthen natural features that minimize the impacts of storms and flooding events on coastal communities.

JPMORGAN CHASE and NFWF began working together to improve coastal resilience planning and impact assessments of resiliency projects of the Emergency Coastal Resilience Fund in 2019. This program was established to invest in conservation projects that restore or expand natural features that minimize the impacts of storms and other naturally occurring flooding events on coastal communities.

This partnership provides NFWF the support to conduct assessments of restoration projects implemented through the Emergency Coastal Resilience Fund and work towards developing predictive models to determine the extent to which projects provide flooding protection to a community and contribute to our ability to build more informed coastal resilience programs in the future.
