## Caption

Pennsylvania’s aging levee systems are a risk to communities and their citizens. Penn State researchers have a new method to certify flood protection and save money. Levees and stormwater systems are designed for the times when they're installed and circumstances change. Penn State's cost-effective approach uses technologies like geophysics tools to help communities to evaluate their levees, flood resiliency, and risk factors. Gaining FEMA accreditation makes communities eligible for grants and assistance to continue improving their aging levees and allow residents to avoid costly flood insurance.
