The rural rivers project: sociotechnical innovation for mitigating flooding in rural riverine communities
Summary. Rural riverine communities in Vermont face severe flooding driven by climate change. The Rural Rivers Project develops sociotechnical solutions combining scientific expertise with community knowledge to improve flood preparedness and resilience. The project creates a sociotechnical floodplain map integrating geospatial data with community input, bridging the gap between technical flood analysis and local decision-making about infrastructure and risk management.
