A flood risk assessment framework for interdependent infrastructure systems in coastal environments

Mohammad Reza Najafi et al.

Summary: This study introduces a network-based framework for assessing compound flood risks in coastal environments. By simulating rainfall, river, and coastal flood characteristics, it explores the interdependencies among infrastructure systems and prioritizes resource allocation based on associated risks.

Assessment of urban flood vulnerability using the social-ecological-technological systems framework in six US cities

Heejun Chang et al.

Summary: This study developed an urban flood vulnerability index using a social-ecological-technological systems framework, identifying clusters of flood vulnerable areas in each domain and providing support for decision-making to reduce flood risks. The spatially explicit framework can be transferred to other regions facing challenging urban floods, revealing intersections of complex interactions and informing policy-making for building more resilient cities.

Adaptive mitigation strategies hedge against extreme climate futures

Giacomo Marangoni et al.

Summary: The paper discusses the challenges in designing global mitigation strategies to address climate change threats, as well as the benefits of using information feedback from observed global temperature changes to improve economic and environmental performance. Adaptive strategies can effectively reduce high regrets, protecting against excessive mitigation spending for less sensitive climate futures, and excessive warming for more sensitive ones.

Household Evacuation Planning and Preparation for Future Hurricanes: Role of Utility Service Disruptions

Nafisa Halim et al.

Summary: The study found that respondents who had experienced disruptions to electricity supply and monetary losses from Hurricane Sandy were more likely to have an evacuation plan. Additionally, factors such as prior evacuation experiences, proximity to the coastline, and household members being disabled also influenced residents' future evacuation planning and hurricane preparedness.

Examining social vulnerability to flood of affordable housing communities in Nanjing, China: Building long-term disaster resilience of low-income communities

Yi Chen et al.

Summary: This paper examines flooding disasters and social vulnerability in developing countries using Nanjing as an example. The research reveals that social vulnerability is influenced by exposure, sensitivity, and adaptability, with newer buildings and better built environments leading to lower risk exposure, and higher education levels and social capital among residents reducing sensitivity to floods. The study also highlights the importance of government emergency operations and residents' response capabilities in improving community adaptability to flooding.

Building-level adaptation analysis under uncertain sea-level rise

Yu Han et al.

Summary: Recent studies suggest that climate-induced sea-level rise will worsen storm surge impacts, making building-level adaptation strategies challenging. Results from a case study in Bay County, Florida show that single-family and multi-family buildings are most at risk, while mobile homes have lower flood risk but are more sensitive to sea-level rise.
