FLOOD INSURANCE ; Coverage Increase May Be Delayed; Proposed Legislation Would Postpone Most Increases for Four YearsLannom, Andrea
Land subsidence, often caused by unsustainable ground water extraction and drainage, has been shown to increase coastal flood risks at a rate four times faster than sea level rise7. Flood risks are also driven by socioeconomic change, as the number of people, assets, and value of economic ...

Impact, adaptation and vulnerability (IPCC, 2022a). Tool for quantitative risk analysis of urban flooding (Kvitsjøen et al., 2021). Drivers of changing urban flood risk (Berndtsson et al., 2019). Loss and Damage High mortality rate, tremendous life and property losses, social disruption (...
One of the major reforms of the NFIP was the Biggert–Waters 2012 reform, which promoted flood mapping and insurance rate increases to better reflect exposure to flood risk. Our first hypothesis was that the Biggert–Waters 2012 reform should alleviate information asymmetry around flood risk and...
In addition, another preoccupying observation was found: urban sprawls have also increased through the period 1998–2018 from 0% to 2.3%, with a rate of +0.1% per year. This further shows an intensification of urbanism in an area prone to danger. In a similar manner, an increase of 0.01...
(>20% Black) are expected to see flood risk increase at double the rate of the bottom 20% (<1% Black) of Black census tracts. Areas with high Black population proportions are clearly concentrated across the Deep South (Fig.3c), in the very locations where climate change is expected to ...
Some flood insurance became available this century. However, a near record flood in 2017 led to much community agitation on the need for better flood risk reduction. However, in common with many similar areas worldwide, opportunities were missed to deal with the most severely flood prone ...
found that flood risk will increase in the future, driven by changes in climate, land use, and socioeconomic conditions (Dottori et al.2018; Hirabayashi et al.2021b; Taguchi et al.2022). Population exposure to the historical 1-in-100-year river flood level is anticipated to increase in...
It can cost FEMA as much as $11.8 billion to create national Flood Insurance Rate Maps, which show whether an area has at least a 1% chance of flooding in a year, according to a 2020 report from the Association of State Floodplain Managers. Researchers say their method of using machine le...
