Slide 2
US Army Corpsof Engineers ® The Situation
• More people, and more of them choosing to live near water
• Increasing competition for Federal dollars
• Less support for water resources, and Corps, in Congress
• Lack of public understanding of link between infrastructure, quality of life
• Sympathy for “anti-infrastructure” arguments
• Opponents employ more sophisticated techniques to block projects
• Unfriendly OMB
Slide 3
US Army Corpsof Engineers ®
Old Methods Won’t Work inNew Environment
• Single (or limited) purpose projects with small constituencies can't compete with investment opportunities with broad support bases.
• We need to communicate more effectively, not just among ourselves
• If we continue doing what we’ve always done, it will have decreasing effectiveness.
Slide 4
US Army Corpsof Engineers ® Change is Needed
• Organization which pulls together all water resources groups into an effective coalition.
• Should be as broad-based as possible.
• Must adopt same public information, communications and advocacy practices as other trade and industry associations.

US Army Corpsof Engineers ® The Edge of Disaster
• “Americans are in denial when it comes to facing how vulnerable our Nation is to disaster, be it terrorist attack or Act of God.”
• “Our growing exposure to man made and natural perils is largely rooted in our own negligence as we take for granted the infrastructure handed down to us by earlier generations. Once the envy of the world, our infrastructure is now crumbling.”
• “Resiliency ….must now become our national motto.” “The Edge of Disaster” Stephen Flynn
