WELCOME to River to Ridge Disaster Resilience

River to Ridge Disaster Resilience (R2RDR) is a small group of community members dedicated to assisting residents of Vernon, Crawford, La Crosse and Monroe Counties when disasters, like (flash) flooding occurs.  Since the widespread flooding in 2018, R2RDR is focused on risks and hazards awareness, slowing water down and helping residents consider other flood mitigation practices they might be able to implement to reduce safety risks and property damage.

Disaster Resilience

R2RDR started out as a long-term recovery group when local flooding occurred in 2007 and 2008.  The group was dormant when the 2018 floods happened but their experience was quickly utilized to reconvene the group and add new members.

R2RDR works closely with Emergency Management, volunteer organizations like Red Cross, United Way, 2-1-1 and others as WI-VOAD members.  We encourage our residents to explore their websites and very useful resources.

​

If you are experiencing flooding or another disaster, please make sure your county is aware of your situation, besides submitting your information with R2RDR.

NOAA monitors weather conditions, fire hazards, flood risks, air quality and other environmental factors.
