Thank you to everyone who joined us at ResCon 2026. Tidal Basin was proud to participate in this year’s conference and contribute to conversations shaping the future of mitigation and resilience planning. Eric Letvin, VP and Regional Resilience and Mitigation Director, participated in a session titled “Hazardous Duty: Hazard Mitigation on a Shoestring and a Prayer.” The discussion with Natalie Enclade of @BuildStrongUSA (BuildStrong America) focused on how government agencies can prioritize projects and sustain mitigation efforts even as federal support evolves. If you connected with our team in New Orleans, we appreciate the conversation. If not, reach out to continue exploring practical strategies for your mitigation priorities. #ResCon2026

Not all of us can have the luck of the Irish, but you can gain your luck by looking into your local risk index and making your emergency kit accordingly. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 #resillience #stpatricksday #emgtwitter

"Equally important is the vision of a nation that is stronger before the next disaster — that withstands rather than rebuilds, that protects rather than simply responds." Proud to be in @HSTodayMag - at a time when resilience is more vital than ever. hstoday.us/subject-matter-ar…

🖥️: NEW VIDEO BRIEFING BuildStrong America recently joined @TransportGOP & @TransportDems to discuss the new, bipartisan FEMA Act seeking to ensure the agency's continued investment in mitigation and resilience efforts. youtube.com/watch?v=EsrRFqx4…

"Meeting or exceeding local building codes will result in something far more resistant than houses built 30 or 40 years ago, like many of those burning in Altadena and Pacific Palisades."

"The largest factor contributing to these events is insufficient resources," says @NatEnclade. "Local agencies and resources are quickly overwhelmed by the speed and scale of these megafires."

"Of these disaster-relief grants, the state failed to use about 20% of the money that was available."

The bipartisan POWER Act from @RepValHoyle & @RepEzell just passed out of the House. This bill is truly a game-changer for protecting our nation’s lifeline infrastructure. hoyle.house.gov/media/press-…

""The way that we fund disaster relief in the country is not sustainable."

Adopting codes and policies. Effective enforcement. Widespread education efforts. Communicating risk in a way that makes sense. All critical factors in ensuring resilience is actually achieved.

"There’s real danger that decisions made with these tools can harm people with fewer resources or less ability to afford higher costs." Interesting look at the challenges facing the adoption of weather data models and the importance of transparency, reliability, and accuracy. 👇

As severe weather impacts increase, the Weather Data Taxpayer Protection Act will ensure we can count on trusted weather risk models in times of crisis. We applaud @RepMaxMiller & @RepFrankLucas for taking the lead on this important issue. 📰: tinyurl.com/ys55utwu
