Episode 25: America’s Most Endangered Rivers of 2020: Ensuring safer, stronger communities

America’s Most Endangered Rivers® of 2020 spotlights why our communities need clean water and healthy rivers now, more than ever. This year’s list highlights how climate change is threatening communities with increasingly severe flooding. Across the country communities are experiencing unprecedented challenges related to too much water at the wrong time. In the Midwest, we have a recipe for disaster, where poor river management is colliding with the reality of climate change. Right now, communities are stretched dangerously thin by the covid-19 pandemic, and the virus is exposing the vulnerabilities and dangers that come with relying on outdated flood control approaches. It’s time for our leaders to embrace proven solutions that protect river health, improve public safety and strengthen communities. Join us today on We Are Rivers to learn about America’s Most Endangered River for 2020 and the solutions that can help move our rivers and our nation forward.
