The Department of Environmental Protection is offering a grant to Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis for the project ‘Midwest Region Fluvial Erosion Hazard Toolkit.’ This grant aims to compile tools to identify fluvial erosion hazards in the Midwest Region for protecting infrastructure and enhancing community resilience to floods. The resulting ‘Toolkit’ will provide guidance for site-specific projects, leading to the development of a Fluvial Erosion Hazards (FEH) Story Map and Toolkit. These resources will aid environmental managers nationwide, fostering partnerships and innovation to mitigate fluvial erosion risks. Closing date for applications is Aug 26, 2019.

| Description: | Notice of Intent to award a cooperative agreement to Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis in support of the project entitled “Midwest Region Fluvial Erosion Hazard Toolkit. The main objective of this project are to compile tools used identify fluvial erosion hazards in the Midwest Region to protect vulnerable infrastructure and improve community resiliency to flood events. These tools will be compiled into a “Toolkit” to describe best practices to provide guidance for site-specific projects at a variety of spatial scales resulting in a Fluvial Erosion Hazards (FEH) Story map and Toolkit that can quickly be used by environmental managers in other states and regions. The Story Map and Toolkit will foster partnerships for the production of new and innovative fluvial erosion hazard tools that fulfill multiple agency missions and provide the most benefit to the Nation’s communities and citizens at risk from fluvial erosion. |
