Help Us Promote Stormwater Week
We need your help reaching as many Wisconsinites as possible. Find resources, social media posts, and ideas below to reach your personal and professional network.
Welcome to the Wisconsin Stormwater Week Toolkit! The resources below are designed to assist communities, stormwater public education outreach professionals, and partner organizations across the state in engaging Wisconsin residents during the upcoming Stormwater Week, August 5-13, 2023.
Our goal is to make every Wisconsin resident aware of Wisconsin Stormwater Week by having groups around the state use consistent messaging on five daily topics that educate and inspire residents to take action in addressing stormwater runoff and pollution issues. The toolkit contains resources enabling everyone to use consistent messaging on the same topics throughout the week to help us collectively raise awareness and motivate action.
