Resilience Communications & Consulting, LLC

Resilience Communications helps academic institutions, governmental agencies and non-profit entities to support water resource protection and climate change adaptation efforts. Based in New York State’s Hudson Valley, the firm takes a creative approach to communicating about scientific issues in ways that emphasize solutions and inspire collaboration.

Resilience is often defined as the ability to “bounce back” from disturbance. Our firm embraces the “bounce forward” approach to resilience. We emphasize the need to assist communities in improving quality of life for all residents now, as well as in the future. Resilience Communications collaborates with partners to strive toward effective and equitable approaches to flooding and other climate related risks, emphasizing nature-based solutions that improve conditions for human and natural communities.
