Resilient Virginia is partnering with Virginia Commonwealth University Research Institute for Social Equity (RISE) to shed light on climate justice issues in the Commonwealth through the Environmental Justice Data Project, funded by the Windward Foundation. The project is focused on data collection and community outreach to inform researchers about the impact of disasters and environmental hazards on critical infrastructure. Resilient Virginia and RISE will work with three local governments representing historically marginalized and underserved communities to secure funding for climate resilience projects.  To that end, efforts will involve finding grants that address specific community needs and assisting local governments in applying for them. Our partnership will work to elevate the voices of those who have been routinely ignored in the fight for a more resilient future.
