THe authors use a global 30 meter hydraulic simulation to project future 1-in-100-year flood events, overlaid with population data and socioeconomic profiles.
Too much and not enough Nat Sustainability We have too much intensity-based studies while not having enough impact-based studies, including the impact of hazards, exposures, and vulnerabilities that are closely tied to people’s living conditions.
Large and inequitable flood risks in Los Angeles, California Nat. Sustain.
This article, the authors produced 3-m flood map based on 1-in-100-year flood events. They mapped the inundated area with social economic indicators such as vulnerabilities and exposures, represented in a composite indicator: Gini coefficient. It was found that flood risks are disproportionately higher for non-Hispanic Black and disadvantaged populations.
Scenario-based exploration of how climate change and floodplain restoration could contribute/reduce flood risks for community.
Incorporating indigenous knowledge
“The monitoring and forecasting component of the EWS has to go from giving a warning about what the weather will be to a warning about what the weather will do. The World Meteorological Organization calls this impact-based forecasting (IBF), developing a forecast of the potential consequences of a climate hazard event in terms of its effects on people, infrastructure, etc.”
