Financing the Next Generation of American Infrastructure

The RiskReserve Tool helps communities quantify future financial losses from weather, natural hazards, and economic shocks through the lens of the municipal budget. By establishing a baseline of risk, governments and market participants can make more informed decisions about reserves, investments, and resilience priorities.

Communities across America face growing risks from extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and economic disruption.

While plans, studies, and recommendations are abundant, implementation remains elusive. The challenge is no longer identifying solutions. It is creating practical pathways to finance and deliver resilience at the scale communities need.
