Rivercityfloodready.com proudly represents our sponsors by building a flood ready Moss Point!
The River City's Challenges
Moss Point faces severe flooding challenges due to heavy rainfall, aging infrastructure, and rising sea levels. Urban surfaces generate up to 80% more runoff, and sea-level rise, 25-30% above the global average, worsens the issue. Planned green infrastructure aims to cut stormwater pollution by up to 85%, reducing flooding impacts.

Edward A. Khayat Memorial Park
Transforming the park’s northern area with bio-cells, bioswales, rain gardens, and permeable pavement to reduce flooding, improve water quality, and create a sustainable community space.
A bioswale is a vegetated channel designed to capture, filter, and infiltrate stormwater runoff, using native plants and soil to remove pollutants and reduce flooding.
Permeable pavement is a special kind of surface that lets water soak through instead of running off, helping to reduce flooding and recharge the groundwater.
A curbside rain garden is a landscaped area next to the street that absorbs rainwater from roads and sidewalks. It uses deep-rooted native plants and special soil to filter pollutants, reduce runoff, and prevent flooding.

At Edward A. Khayat Memorial Park, green infrastructure like rain gardens and bio-cells reduce flooding while creating a beautiful community space. At Kreole Elementary, rain gardens and permeable paving protect the school from stormwater while offering students a hands-on learning experience about sustainability.
Green infrastructure, like rain gardens, bioswales, and permeable pavements, allows stormwater to soak into the ground instead of running off into streets and neighborhoods. This reduces flooding, improves water quality, and helps recharge groundwater—all while beautifying the community.
Empowering communities to build flood resilience through innovative solutions and community collaboration.
