The resilience standard is set by executive direction; green infrastructure and drainage care work is delivered by the operating departments within their existing authority.
The problem
In Tampa, a summer storm can turn a block into a lake. Residents in flood-prone neighborhoods watch water sit for hours, wondering whether the drains were ever cleared — and the same waterlogged corners are usually the least pretty ones on the map.
The plan
Water & Resilience folds resilience into neighborhood beauty: green infrastructure, rain gardens, permeable surfaces, tree canopy, and clear drainage — designed to move water and look good doing it. Drainage care and ditch clearing become part of the neighborhood maintenance cycle, not an emergency response.
Every green-infrastructure investment gets a named owner, a maintenance cycle, and a funded lifecycle plan. It works hand in hand with the city's broader flood-readiness work, at the block level where residents feel it.
How you’ll know it’s working
- Resilience improvements integrated into the neighborhood maintenance cycle
- Green infrastructure with named owners and funded lifecycle plans
- Clearing and drainage care scheduled, not just reactive
- Pilot blocks showing water managed and maintained to standard
