Our hearts ache for all that has been lost and yet gratitude for all that remains.
About RiverLinkRecovery, Resilience + Planning
Recovery following a disaster is an ongoing learning process and a constantly changing landscape. Throughout the journey, we remain committed to the rivers of our region — to ensure their recovery is front-and-center as we find our way to a new normal and that we “make way” for our waterways to increase community flood resilience and reduce future losses.
Helene RecoveryAdopt-A-Stream
Do you have a stream that was damaged by Helene? RiverLink is spreading some love to local waterways that have experienced scour and erosion after Hurricane Helene through our Adopt-A-Stream program. We will equip property owners with the resources and knowledge to repair and steward their eroded streams, and we can schedule teams of volunteers to begin the healing for property owners in need.
