R4R Waterlogged:

 Beneath the Surface & Weathering the Storm

​

Conversations Connecting

Residents to Science, Solutions &  A More Resilient Tomorrow

​

Waterlogged is Residents for Resilience’s ongoing public outreach and educational event series, created to connect residents with the scientists, engineers, environmental experts, government leaders and community partners working on some of South Florida’s most pressing marine water, flooding, environmental and resilience challenges.

 

Through film screenings, expert panels, community conversations, workshops, presentations and special events, Waterlogged brings important and sometimes complex issues directly into the community — making the science easier to understand, encouraging meaningful conversation and, most importantly, exploring solutions.

 

At Residents for Resilience, we often say:  “It’s hard to care about what you don’t know about.”

That idea is at the heart of Waterlogged.

 

By bringing people together to learn, ask questions, exchange ideas and hear directly from experts and one another, we hope to help bridge the information gap between those studying and addressing these challenges and the residents whose lives and communities are affected by them.

 

Because informed communities are better equipped to participate in the conversation —

and help shape the solutions.

​

🌧️ WEATHERING THE STORM

What’s happening above the surface?

 

Weathering the Storm focuses on the challenges affecting our homes, neighborhoods and infrastructure — including flooding, stormwater management, extreme rainfall, king tides, stronger storms, flood mitigation, homeowner preparedness, insurance and resilience funding.

​

These events connect residents with experts and decision-makers to better understand the risks we face, what is already being done, what resources are available, and the innovative approaches that can help

our communities prepare for what lies ahead.

​

🌊 BENEATH THE SURFACE

What’s happening below the surface?

​

Beneath the Surface explores the health and future of South Florida’s waterways and marine ecosystems — including water quality, coral reefs, mangroves, living shorelines, marine habitats, pollution, dredging impacts, environmental monitoring and nature-based solutions.

​

Many of the challenges facing our waters are happening where most of us cannot see them. These conversations help bring those issues to the surface while connecting residents with the scientists, organizations, researchers and innovators working to understand, restore and protect our precious marine environment.

​

FROM CONVERSATION TO COLLABORATION​​

Waterlogged brings together a diverse range of voices and perspectives — scientists, engineers, marine experts, floodplain managers, environmental advocates, planners, government leaders,

educators, businesses, students and residents.

​

We believe meaningful resilience doesn't happen in isolation. It happens when we share information, listen to different perspectives, understand the challenges and work together toward practical, science-based and community-centered solutions.
