The Resilience Initiative for Vermont Empowerment and Recovery (RIVER) is a project dedicated to developing locally supported ideas for reducing flood damage. RIVER is focusing on several municipalities hit hard in 2023. Community discussions for this project are being led by the respective regional planning commissions in concert with the affected towns and other groups.
