Developing Watershed Management in the Dominican Republic Through Shared Vision Planning
ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA. A team from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Institute for Water Resources (IWR) is working with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to develop a participatory watershed plan in the Guayubin River sub-basin of the Yaque del Norte basin in the Dominican Republic using Shared Vision Planning (SVP) principles. SVP is a collaborative approach to formulating water management solutions that combines three disparate practices: 1) traditional water resources planning, 2) structured public participation and 3) collaborative modeling. The goal is to facilitate a holistic approach to basin planning that improves the economic, environmental and social outcomes of water management decisions. The SVP approach supports an existing USAID initiative to achieve sustainable economic, social and environmental development in Yaque Del Norte basin.

The Jan. 7 Los Angeles County wildfires debris removal operation was one of our largest, most challenging missions. More than 1,400 USACE personnel deployed from across the nation and from our district to support debris removal operations. /6

But we did not do this alone. The success of this important mission was the result of strong partnerships with FEMA, Cal OES, LA County, local governments and impacted communities. /5

To date, USACE has removed more than 2.6 million tons of debris — the equivalent of more than 218,000 truckloads. /4

We are proud of our efforts, alongside our partners, to rapidly come to the aid of our fellow citizens in their time of need. In just six months, more than 9,500 properties were cleared — making this the fastest, large-scale wildfire debris removal in USACE history. /3

After the devastating Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was laser-focused on removing immediate hazards to public health and safety, and supporting economic recovery by removing structural ash, debris and foundations. /2

This week marks one year since the January 2025 Southern California wildfires began. On Jan. 17, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began its debris removal mission, which was a critical step in the road to recovery. https://t.co/iF1yZ5D6CP
