Focus on Floods

This website was designed to educate the public in the Delaware River Basin about flood risk. Since then, the website has become a resource for flood education materials, and now includes social science research  related to flooding, resources and information on coastal flooding, and important tools to help communities prepare and reduce losses due to flooding.

Nurture Nature Center is a center for community learning about environmental risks in Easton, Pennsylvania that was established in response to repetitive flooding in the Delaware River Basin in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Nurture Nature Center is a joint project of Nurture Nature Foundation, Inc. and Nurture Nature Center, Inc. Since its formation in 2007, Nurture Nature Center has conducted a series of research and education projects about flooding, and developed this website in partnership with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
