Snohomish County Flood Risk Communication + Outreach

Snohomish County Surface Water Management 

Project Overview

BvP is leading a groundbreaking initiative to enhance flood preparedness among the most vulnerable communities in Snohomish County’s Stillaguamish and Snohomish-Skykomish river basins. Our data-driven strategy pinpoints high-risk populations and regions, ensuring that those who need support the most receive it.

Through culturally responsive engagement—integrating community events, key informant interviews, and partnerships with trusted local organizations—we have connected with county staff and residents to raise awareness of flood risk and begin designing solutions to strengthen local networks and empower historically marginalized communities.

Our work goes beyond immediate outreach. We are laying the foundation for long-term flood resilience by providing multilingual, accessible preparedness materials and tailored implementation tools. With a special focus on areas where socioeconomic vulnerabilities intersect with flood risk, we are driving real change. This project isn’t just about planning—it’s about action, equity, and lasting community resilience to ensure that every resident has the resources and support needed to face future floods with confidence.
