Challenge
With increasing storm risk to our nation’s coastlines and reduced sources of funding, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sought to partner with other invested parties to support their Internal Water Resources (IWR) initiatives. In conjunction with FEMA, NOAA and VIMS, they created a collaborative effort called the Systems Approach to Geomorphic Engineering, or SAGE.
Approach
Geared toward public agencies, non-governmental agencies, business and industry, academia and non-profit organizations, SAGE has become a center of best practice and a resource for improved methods of risk reduction. Communications compare and contrast various types of stabilization solutions while demonstrating the features and benefits of each.
