<\/div>\nMind the Gaps:
\nAccounting for Present and Future Flood Risk<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\nDr. Oliver Wing<\/strong><\/a>, Fathom
\nMore than half of flood risk in the U.S. is unmapped, but new technologies are making it possible for researchers to update flood maps. Wing described future projections that show rising costs, disproportionate economic burdens within Black communities, and the urgent need for adaptation policies at local and national levels.

\n<\/strong><\/h3>\nDr. Marccus Hendricks<\/a>,<\/strong> University of Maryland
\nNeighborhoods of color, particularly low-wealth communities, often face worse problems after storms than white and wealthier neighborhoods, especially as more frequent and intense stormwater runoff creates greater hazard exposures. Hendricks described infrastructure challenges and present solutions that integrate justice and participation into the redevelopment of community spaces, particularly in marginalized areas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe Houston Flood Museum was launched following Hurricane Harvey in part as a catalyst to reimagine the ways residents of the city, the Gulf Coast and the wider world are evolving through persistent natural disasters. Approaching Harvey\u2019s 5th anniversary, Johnson reflected on how disasters obscure, and reveal, the changing nature of our lives together on the planet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/strong>A Policy Agenda<\/strong><\/h3>\nLaura Lightbody<\/a><\/strong>, The Pew Charitable Trusts
\nSince 2000, floods have cost the United States nearly a trillion dollars in damage to homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure. The expense of adapting to more frequent and severe storms is projected to rise over the next several decades, placing a premium on the need to take action now to reduce the impacts of future floods. Lightbody described promising innovations in state and federal government that can meet the challenge and mitigate the risks of major flooding events.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
