Silver Jackets Teams

Silver Jackets teams in states across the country bring together multiple state, federal, and sometimes tribal and local agencies to learn from one another and apply their knowledge to reduce the risk of flooding and other natural disasters in the United States and enhance response and recovery efforts when such events do occur. There are a growing number of states applying the Silver Jackets; the ultimate goal is a state-led interagency team in every state.

Silver Jacket Coordinators in each USACE District are a resource for state and federal agencies interested in forming or growing their Silver Jackets teams.
