Getting hit with one hurricane is bad enough, but new research from Princeton Engineering shows that back-to-back versions may become common for many areas in coming decades.
New study thoroughly reviews two U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood megaprojects in Rhode Island that emerged simultaneously after an active period of hurricane activity around the 1950s.
Extreme flooding events spawned by hurricanes are likely to become far more frequent along the Eastern and Southern U.S. coastlines because of a combination of sea level rise and storm intensification.
Mask wearing and social distancing are a key tool in combatting COVID-19. These actions also have greatly reduced incidence of many other diseases.
New research shows that an annual investment of $30 billion should be enough to offset the costs of preventing another global pandemic. Over 10 years, this represents about 2% of the costs of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Will global climate change make slow-moving storms more common? Princeton’s Gan Zhang decided to tackle the question by using a large ensemble of climate simulations.
Researchers develop a new framework allowing urban planners and policymakers to consider a combination of responses to sea-level rise.
Princeton researchers reported the new trend of flooding in the United States relates both to the higher moisture content of warmer air and increasing wind speeds.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
