More than a dozen researchers are working on a wide variety of research that looks to prepare, respond, and mitigate hurricane impacts in Florida and beyond.
The tool can provide disaster readiness reports for 13.3 million addresses in 196 counties along the Gulf of Mexico — including all of Florida, and parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas.
The study analyzed tide gauge observations along coastlines in Europe, and the researchers have plans to further develop the method for use in the U.S. and other parts of the world.
Predicting periods of relatively higher flood risk would allow officials to prepare and deploy resources more in advance.
University of Central Florida researchers use historical data from tide gauges along U.S. coast to indicate the extent of weather and ocean forces on extreme sea levels.
A team of international researchers has found a link between seasonal fluctuations in sea level to a long-time phenomenon — Rossby Waves. And this connection may lead to a new tool to help coastal communities better anticipate and mitigate “nuisance flooding” impacts.
Due to rising sea levels, extreme events that are now expected to happen only once every hundred years could occur every decade or even every year by 2050. A new study uses newly available data and models to improve global predictions of extreme sea levels, which can help vulnerable parts of the world protect themselves.
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.
