The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program prioritizes funding for projects that incorporate nature-based solutions (NbS). One of the most scalable and adaptable NbS practices are stormwater parks. This presentation will provide an overview of what stormwater parks are, including the functions and benefits; and how to identify opportunities for them. Jacobs has worked with local government agencies, such as the Port of San Francisco, to secure BRIC funding for the use of NbS. A short-listed grant for the Port’s waterfront resilience program included living seawalls, enhancing public recreation and access of the waterfront. The approach for scoping a successful BRIC grant project and developing the funding application, including the benefit-cost analysis, for NbS will be discussed. Additional stormwater parks (floodable spaces) that have been designed and built for communities across the U.S. and internationally to address natural disaster and flooding impacts will be presented, including parks from Sidmouth, U.K. and Asheville, NC. This presentation will highlight how stormwater park designs may be submitted by communities for disaster recovery and mitigation funding for construction.
