Flooding

Primary tabs

This working group focuses on what causes floods, ways to prepare and mitigate the impact of floods, and how to respond to and recover from floods.

As flooding becomes a more common occurence in more locations across the globe, it is imperative that 1) areas that have never had flooding before prepare for the possibility of inundation and 2) areas that are already prone to flooding prepare for record levels of inundation. How can we mitigate the danger and facilitate better response and recovery?

Vermont Floods Show Limits of America’s Efforts to Adapt to Climate Change

Wed, 2023-07-12 09:47 — mike kraft

This week’s flooding in Vermont, in which heavy rainfall caused destruction even miles from any river, is evidence of an especially dangerous climate threat: Catastrophic flooding can increasingly happen anywhere, with almost no warning.

And the United States, experts warn, is nowhere close to ready for that threat.

The idea that anywhere it can rain, it can flood, is not new. But rising temperatures make the problem worse: They allow the air to hold more moisture, leading to more intense and sudden rainfall, seemingly out of nowhere. And the implications of that shift are enormous.
