But the statistical distribution of weather events and natural disasters is shifting. What might have been a 1-in-500-year event may become a 1-in-100-year ...
Recent floods are revealing vulnerabilities in how communities are designed and managed. Pavement is a major contributor to urban flooding, because water cannot be absorbed and it runs off quickly. Similarly, after a forest fire or extended drought, water runs off of soilrather than soaking in. This can overwhelm drainage systems and pile up debris...
The many effects associated with flooding show why a holistic approach to planning for climate change is necessary, and what communities can learn from one another. For example, case studies show that: 1. Floods can damage resources that are essential in flood recovery, such as roads, bridges and hospitals. Considering future risks when determining...
