Natural hazard analysis and mitigation since Katrina
Hurricane Katrina was a pivotal event that dramatically impacted policies and practice with respect to natural hazards. The massive human life and economic losses stimulated rapt attention to what went wrong and why, which in turn resulted in dramatic shifts in both engineering practice and the policies that guide it. This also accelerated national flood safety assessment and future strategy both in the United States and in the Netherlands. It is…
Nature-based solutions for managing rising flood risk and delivering multiple benefits
US Flood risk management in changing times
The traditional regulatory and policy approach to flood risk in the US has been the optimization of benefits and costs, broadly mandated by federal policy. However, optimization may not be the best approach to flood risk management in light of the deep uncertainties we now face. A more incremental approach using a satisficing strategy may be. Flood risk is a function of the hydrologic factors that produce a hazard and the consequences of the haza…
The Demographics of Public Participation Access When Communicating Environmental Risk
The interaction between humans and their environment is epitomized by climate change issues. Public engagement is essential to communicating anticipated changes and shifting risks. We investigated one such risk-flooding in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. We examined the demographics of flood risk management meeting participants and found they were significantly older, English-only speakers, better educated, more affluent, and more l…
