After a major storm, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) helps communities move from emergency response to longterm recovery. Through the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program, NRCS works with local sponsors to assess damage, stabilize streambanks, remove debris, and protect homes and infrastructure from future flooding.
This video highlights how NRCS supports communities after disasters—and features Tioga County, Pennsylvania, where Tropical Storm Debby caused severe streambank erosion and threatened homes. With EWP assistance and strong local partnerships, more than 2,400 feet of streambank were restored, providing safety and resilience for families living along the water.
Learn how EWP helps communities recover stronger, together.
