The Mission: Resilient Communities in Tampa Bay

Ensuring communities are prepared for disasters

Why Mission Resilience?

FEMA recently slashed $300 million in flooding, hurricane relief projects in Florida.

Mission Resilience steps up to ensure no community is left behind when disaster strikes. It shifts the power of disaster resilience into the hands of the people. And empowers historically excluded communities to build their own future, one that is stronger, safer, and more equitable.

Why Tampa Bay?

Tampa Bay is Beautiful, diverse, and growing.

It’s also one of the most disaster-prone areas in the country with the threat of major hurricanes, rising sea levels, degradation of natural barriers, and other factors that put millions of Bay residents at risk. Last year alone, Hurricanes Helene and Milton placed an unprecedented financial strain on the Tampa Bay region amassing nearly $26B in damages. Communities across the region are still recovering with the threat of an active 2025 hurricane season which could further displace millions without coordinated action.
