Priorities for Climate Change and Risk Reduction
ASFPM strives to help communities understand how a changing climate is increasing flood risk, decreasing community resilience, and how to prepare for increasing flood risk. ASFPM supports efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce flood risks and increase community resilience by promoting local, state, tribal and national measures to reduce risk and climate change.

Priorities for Social Justice
As leaders in floodplain management, ASFPM proactively seeks to ensure all individuals at risk of flooding are treated equitably and have equal opportunity to be aware of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from floods. As an organization, ASFPM will actively promote and support inclusive, equitable, and just floodplain management policies and practices at all levels of government. This approach will improve equitable outcomes so that all community members, especially those who are most vulnerable, and their needs, are represented and prioritized in our profession, practice, policy development, and decision making.
