FILLING IN THE INFORMATION GAP!
WELCOME!

Residents for Resilience
Is it safe to drink the water?
Is it safe to recreate in our waterways?
Will I be able to pick up my children during King Tides?
Will stormwater flood my house again?
Is another mature tree being removed?
These are just a few of the urgent questions we hear daily from
concerned residents across Florida.
Residents for Resilience (R4R) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for:
💧 Safe, clean drinking water
🌊 Flood mitigation and stormwater management
🌴 Coastal resiliency
🐚 Waterway and marine ecosystem restoration
We bridge the information gap between government leaders, scientists, engineers, and the public — fostering education, communication, advocacy, and collaboration.
Because it’s hard to care about what you don’t know about.
Why It Matters Now
Florida’s marine waters, infrastructure, and ecosystems face growing pressures from development, sea-level rise, storm intensity, and aging systems. These issues affect not only our environment — but also our homes, businesses, public health, and economy.
By empowering residents with knowledge and bringing experts to the table, we ensure community voices are heard and actively involved in shaping solutions.
Join the Movement
Together, we can:
✔ Strengthen community preparedness
✔ Advocate for science-based solutions
✔ Protect our waterways and drinking water
✔ Promote long-term resilience over short-term fixes
Let your voice be heard - Be part of the solution.

Dear Louis Aguirre, Anastasia Brenman, and Channel 10,
I want to express my heartfelt thanks to both of you for the incredible opportunity to be part of your “Don’t Trash Our Treasures” series on such a crucial topic—“Is it Safe to Go in the Water?” The health of our waterways is something we all care deeply about, and it was an honor to contribute to this important conversation.
Louis, your insightful questions and unwavering commitment to raising awareness on this critical issue means so much. I’m also incredibly grateful for the shout-out you gave to Residents for Resilience (R4R). Thanks to your support, we’ve welcomed many new members who are eager to join us in our mission to restore and protect our precious waterways. Their involvement will certainly help us work toward making our waters safe and, hopefully, swimmable again!
I truly look forward to collaborating more in the future. Thank you both for your hard work and dedication!
Best,
Suzee
