DEEPP/Dynamics of Extreme Events, People & Places

DEEPP aims to understand the environmental, economic, social, and psychological impacts of storms/floods in coastal Carolina communities. Based @UNCPopCenter

This week is Hurricane Preparedness Week! Learn how to prepare yourselves in the link below.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

The best way to prepare for severe tropical weather is by having a family emergency plan and kit. This Hurricane Preparedness Week, Gov. Cooper is encouraging North Carolinians to take these small steps now to bring relief during and after a storm.

New pub from the @sunny_day_flood team! Our new sensors detected water on the road 24x in 5 months in coastal NC - flooding is happening more often than common proxies (e.g., NOAA HTF counts) suggest b/c we capture the impacts of rain (1/4 of our events were rain + tide).

[Science Communicators of North Carolina @sconc]

Attn enviro journalists! @WakeForest is hosting an environmental justice fellowship for 5 days this summer. Attendees will receive training in covering EJ issues, travel costs, and a $2,500 reporting stipend.

The next #CarolinaDataScienceNow seminar on February 23, “Imagining Better Communities," will feature talks on how #datascience is used to conserve #naturalsystems & ensure #sustainable #urbandevelopment. All @UNC community members are welcome to register.

The North Carolina Real Estate Commission last week agreed to move forward on a petition filed by a coalition of advocacy groups to add flood-related disclosure requirements.

https://t.co/98WntTZaST In the news: check out new research on building in the floodplains by our very own @_miyukihino @fldhzd

[Dr. Miyuki Hino @_miyukihino]

Had a lot of fun with a super team of collaborators on this one (@fldhzd is the only one on here i think)! And thanks to @ByAdamWagner for this great write-up. https://t.co/PNDoTFaC1k

[Dr. Miyuki Hino @_miyukihino]

New open-access paper! In NC, for every buyout, ~10 new houses have been built in 100-year floodplains. Community flood risk management "effort" (CRS score, buyouts) is not indicative of the amount of FP development taking place. https://t.co/yAtcctZzUX

[Readygov @Readygov]

#DYK that floods can occur after wildfires because the ground is unable to absorb water? Be ready by building an emergency kit in case you must evacuate and having digital copies of important documents.

Registration for the annual WRRI conference taking place March 22-23 is now open! Join us at the McKimmon Center on NCSU's campus for for two days of learning about the latest research, while networking with others from across the industry! https://t.co/clYwCjYNAw

I'm presenting compound flood modeling results for Hurricane Florence today at #AGU22 I wish I had made a Lego version of the rain rate like NASA did for Irma! Maybe next year 😆 #H3SatAGU

[Coastal Resilience Center @CoastalResilCtr]

New research just dropped from @UNC_EMES 🙌

[CoastalReview.org @Coastal_Review]

A recent study has shown that storms classified as Category 1 hurricanes have been intensifying around the world from 1991 to 2020, something that researchers say is tied to global climate change.

Great presentation by @coasthelen today at #AGU22 showing how our @sunny_day_flood sensors are collecting data that help to evaluate flood models 🌊

[CoastalReview.org @Coastal_Review]

Town officials announced Tuesday that the planned $7.4 million beach nourishment project expected to begin in Duck this month is delayed until possibly mid-March 2023.

I had the opportunity to present the compound flood modeling work I've been doing in the Carolinas at the official software release of SFINCS @deltares! Excited for the possibilities with this super-fast model 😊

[CoastalReview.org @Coastal_Review]

Vesta North Carolina is seeking a permit to place about 20,000 cubic yards of ground olivine in the nearshore waters 1,500 feet from the shoreline of Duck to study on a small scale the ability of the material to mitigate the impacts of climate change. https://t.co/SEveC9au8l
