After #HurricaneMilton:

"Her car was fully submerged by heavy rains. Water seeped in under the floors of her home and sewage spewed out of her shower drain.

Maps drawn up by the Federal Emergency Management Agency show that Vacante’s home is not in a “#FloodRisk zone.” "

Tampa Bay Times · Milton swamped these Tampa Bay neighborhoods. None were in flood zonesBy Rebecca Liebson

#Flooding is a challenge affecting everything from economic security, to drinking water & the pursuit of truth & reconciliation. #Canada must adapt to the urgent risks posed by worsening floods. Luckily, numerous pathways exist for individual #Canadians to engage in #CollectiveActions to protect ourselves & our communities.

#ClimateChange is shifting how water moves through landscapes both in our #communities & around the globe. #Information & #awareness is key in this world of changing conditions. However, a 2022 #audit of #FloodRisk preparedness in #Ontario reported that public awareness of personal flood risk & #liability is poor across the province.

Many Canadians are just one bad storm away from an unmitigated watery #disaster. Floods are the most expensive & most frequent type of #NaturalHazard in Canada. An analysis of #insurance solutions for flood risk found that current residential flood risk in Canada is estimated at $2.9 billion per year.

#NatureBased #CommunityDriven #solutions have huge potential to address gaps in #infrastructure, promote resilience & build #ecological knowledge—often at a much reduced cost than traditional hard solutions like seawalls or embankments.

#GreenInfrastructure can also be highly effective along #watercourses where, once established, vegetation helps to filter surface #pollutants, stabilize #erosion & prevent surges of water from spilling over.

A potent report on #California's massive #floodrisk challenge (along with that pesky megadrought challenge). Just this.. "Most of the state’s more than 20,000 miles of flood banks and channels are operated by local governments, and many miles are on unregulated private land."

Such an important point about building mapping methods that are adaptive facing evolving data streams, science insights and community needs - @deepseadawn of course. Was *just* discussing #floodrisk data with @DrHultquist! Related #sustainwhat post: revkin.substack.com/p/study-fi
