Recovering from Expected Flooding Under Residential Buildings (REFURB)

REFURB (Recovering from Expected Flooding Under Residential Buildings) is a collaboration with Wayne State University, Eastside Community Network, Jefferson East, Inc., and the United Way for Southeastern Michigan to address anxiety and community trauma from increasingly severe flooding in Detroit. We will use participatory methods to plan and connect residents to a community resilience hub network. This will include new application of tech to identify failing infrastructure and strengthen local communication preparedness and response networks among Detroit residents.
