Seek Higher Ground: The Natural Solution to Our Urgent Flooding Crisis Webinar
30th Anniversary River Tour Series
Join us for the first of three 30th Anniversary Virtual River Tours!
We welcome award winning author and photographer Tim Palmer to virtually present stunning photos and poignant stories alongside his new book, Seek Higher Ground: The Natural Solution to Our Urgent Flooding Crisis.
Virtual: Wednesday, October 29th from 6-7 pm
With graphic photos and engaging narrative, Tim will share how the nation’s efforts to control floods through dam and levee construction have been, at best, inadequate, and how the endless cycle of floods, damage, recovery, and repeated losses can best be ended through the protection of open space on floodplains and through voluntary relocation of homes and businesses from hazard-prone areas. He’ll show how the warming climate is making flood dangers worse, and how an improved response is essential if widespread disasters are to be avoided in the future.

Brilliantly written, expertly researched, Seek Higher Ground examines in pathbreaking ways our ongoing cataclysm in the Age of Climate Change. With first-rate-reporting about history, ecology, and hydrology, Tim Palmer is the ideal author to reveal practical solutions to America’s chronic vulnerability to flooding. His heartfelt narrative is an urgent wakeup call for action. I highly recommend this important book!
— Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History, Rice University, author of Silent Spring Revolution and other books
Seek Higher Ground is the most comprehensive and compelling book written on the history and challenges of floodplain management—a must-read for anyone concerned about flooding. Anchored in fact and science, Tim Palmer’s engaging narrative boldly and correctly proclaims that the age of increased flooding is here. His account tells us what we’ve done wrong—and right—and it tells us what we must now do to prepare for the floods of the future.
— Chad Berginnis, Executive Director, Association of State Floodplain Managers
