ICYMI: A MAJOR bill passed in NY yesterday - amending our broken flood disclosure law that allowed sellers to pay $500 to opt-out of providing property-specific information on flood history and risk!
We now have a flood risk right-to-know for buyers and renters! #Rise2Resilience

"If all goes according to plan, when adult salmon return to the lower Klamath River to spawn in Oct 2024, they will find it undammed for the first time in more than a century, w/ hundreds of miles of habitat once again available to them." @ncj_of_humboldt

Strong language. Includes landlords. Does not allow "unknown" as an answer for whether property is in the special flood hazard area. Requires notice that flood insurance may be required + floods not usually covered by standard home insurance. A great move! https://t.co/4yjNRKGvjA
🇳🇱 Water Envoy @henkovink during this week's press briefing with 🇹🇯 and @SustDev.
#UN2023WaterConference doesn't come a moment to soon and is only just the beginning - we have to radically change the way we think about how we use, manage, and value water.
Some good news out of New Jersey as lawmakers passed a bill that would require landlords and real estate agents to warn prospective buyers or tenants about previous flooding on properties.

A huge day for coastal Louisiana! This decision validates the work of hundreds of the brightest engineers and scientists from across the world and concerned citizens from Louisiana who helped develop this project.
Big thanks to @scresilience_ Chief Resilience Officer Ben Duncan & his staff for spending time with American FloodCoalition @floodcoalition today. Ben's a great guy doing great work in #SouthCarolina
Amazing to be surrounded by pics of all the flooded homes they rebuilt

How do river deltas build land? Like this. As water from the muddy Mississippi River enters the coastal zone, the flow spreads, water speeds decrease and sediment settles out of the water column, creating a deltaic deposit. #coastal#louisiana#delta
