What Resiliency Florida does

Resiliency Florida is a Tallahassee, Florida-based nonprofit membership organization founded in 2020 that serves as a leading advocacy voice for climate resilience policy and infrastructure investment in the state. The organization convenes public and private sector members, including local governments, engineering firms, utilities, building materials companies, nonprofits, and academic institutions, to advance regional, state, and federal policy on extreme weather, flooding, and sea level rise adaptation. Its members collectively represent 33 of Florida's 67 counties, and the organization maintains formal relationships with federal agencies including FEMA, NOAA, EPA, and HUD, as well as with the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact and national membership bodies such as the National League of Cities, NACo, and ICLEI.

The organization does not sell technology products. Its core offerings are legislative advocacy, resource and best-practice exchange, regional roundtables and seminars, an annual Florida Resilience Conference (now in its 5th year), and original survey research on Florida voter attitudes toward resilience, infrastructure investment, and nature-based solutions. The Tallahassee headquarters and a Washington, D.C. presence support dual-level government engagement, and the board is structured to represent four distinct Florida regions.

Resiliency Florida is funded through membership fees and organizational dues from public and private sector members. No revenue, headcount, or external funding rounds are disclosed. Operational scale is evidenced by 189 active projects connected to over $1.2 billion in state funding through the Resilient Florida Grant Program, indicating significant policy and convening leverage relative to organizational size.
