Approaches to make cities more resilient to floods are emerging, notably with the design of flood-resilient structures, but relatively little is known about the role of urban form and its complexity in the concentration of flooding. We leverage statistical mechanics to reduce the complexity of ...
SPEAKER 2: Sure. Well, we've talked about the winds, so the winds are a very important feature of a hurricane. But also the rain. With these very intense thunderstorms, very super intense thunderstorms, you're going to get a lot of rain. And that's going to produce flash floods and...

Unfortunately, there are still risks associated with wildfires after the flames are extinguished. Safety hazards following fires include unstable trees, soil erosion,landslides, debris flow, flash floods/flooding, and impaired water quality. How does a fire contribute to these potential safety concerns?
Flash floods are phenomena in which the important hydrologic processes are occurring on the same spatial and temporal scales as the intense precipitation. Most of the catchments of the Messina area in the North-East part of Sicily (Italy), are prone to flash flood formation. They are, in fac...

High-altitude weather data is critical for predicting oncoming natural disasters like tornadoes, thunderstorms or flash floods. Thanks to weather balloons, officials can scramble supplies and emergency personnel to an affected area hours before a weather disaster strikes. Like model rockets and remote-...

Flood insurance is a type ofproperty insurancethat covers a dwelling for losses sustained by water damage, specifically due to flooding. Floods may be caused by heavy or prolonged rain, melting snow, coastal storm surges, blocked storm drainage systems, or levee dam failure. ...
