Setting clear expectations and ensuring consistent communications is the key to building the public will necessary for adaptation action. We assist with internal policy-making and outward facing messaging related to sea level rise, resilience, and adaptation.

Brizaga provides specialized expertise in Floodplain Management and the FEMA Community Rating System (CRS), helping communities reduce flood risk, strengthen regulatory frameworks, and lower flood insurance costs for residents and businesses. We work closely with local governments to evaluate, improve, and maintain their floodplain management programs while ensuring alignment with national and state standards.

Our team supports communities through all phases of CRS participation—from initial enrollment to activity verification and annual recertification—helping maximize points across a range of activities, including public outreach, higher regulatory standards, and floodplain mapping.
