Stormwater Smart Outreach Tools
EPA has developed a collection of communication tools you can use to promote the value of sound stormwater management for creating a community where your residents want to live and work. Public works managers can use these as part of the public education and outreach efforts of their stormwater permit programs.
The materials below are organized by the main goals of the Stormwater Smart effort. They cover a wide range of topics and can be used on several platforms. There are two versions of the brochures, infographics, and tip sheets: a Microsoft PowerPoint file that can be customized with your organization’s contact information and an Adobe Acrobat PDF.
In addition, there is a how-to manual with ideas for how to use the tools in ways that connect with residents and businesses in your community.
