  Rob Moore leads NRDC's Water & Climate Team, which focuses on the water-related impacts of our rapidly warming climate, including the rising risks of flooding and the effects of sea-level rise. He has been a leading voice for reforms to the National Flood Insurance Program, implementing federal flood protection standards, and building more resilient water infrastructure systems. In 2017 Moore authored "Seeking Higher Ground," a report that highlighted the growing problems of repeatedly flooded homes and the need to provide more assistance to help interested homeowners move to higher ground (https://www.nrdc.org/experts/rob-moore/seeking-higher-ground-climate-smart-solutions-flooding)
