“Extreme rainfall is projected to intensify as the climate warms, yet whether the greatest increases will occur in multi-day or single-day events remains uncertain. This knowledge gap is particularly pressing given recent catastrophic floods triggered by multi-day rainfall events, prompting the question of whether multi-day events could, in fact, intensify more than their daily counterparts, and by how much. This study addresses this question using an ensemble of 34 downscaled Earth System Models under two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5), focusing on changes in extreme rainfall by the end of the century across ten regions of the contiguous United States. [Their] statistical framework evaluates model agreement, ensemble-mean changes, and the significance of these changes for both daily and multi-day rainfall extremes. Results show that extreme rainfall amounts are expected to increase for most regions and durations. The degree of intensification, however, depends strongly on event rarity and regional climate characteristics. Notably, in the U.S. western Gulf Coast region, very rare multi-day events (e.g., 500 year return period) are projected to intensify more than their daily counterparts, a phenomenon that could be explained by increased stalling of tropical cyclones, which can prolong heavy rainfall over multiple days. These results challenge the assumption that daily extremes dominate future risk and highlight the need to consider event duration when updating flood-hazard maps, design standards, and adaptation planning…”

Insurance is critical for financial recovery following climate-related disasters, particularly for low-income households.
However, with premium increases in response to the growing cost of climate impacts, there are concerns that coverage may become unaffordable for many households, leading to a decline in insurance uptake.
The result? Existing #FloodInsurance protection gaps increase, impacting on recovery outcomes following #flood events: https://journalofcrr.com/research/03-07-gourevitch-et-al/

@john @augieray FEMA has made progress making the flood insurance system more equitable in 2022. It's called Risk Rating 2.0, but it is causing a lot of controversy in FLA as some people can't afford their new higher rates. #FEMA #FloodInsurance

100-year flood (Hydrology 💧)
A 100-year flood is a flood event that has on average a 1 in 100 chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 100-year flood is also referred to as the 1% flood. For coastal or lake flooding, the 100-year flood is generally expressed as a flood elevation or depth, and may include wave effects. For river systems, ...

FEMA announces big insurance rate cut for Miami-Dade, but it won’t affect many municipalities :
The County is planning $1 billion in stormwater projects over the next several decades – and Criswell said other communities should follow the County’s example.

Just hours before a potential #GovernmentShutdown, #Republicans & #Democrats in the #Senate passed a 45-day #ContinuingResolution w/ #DisasterRelief funds, an extension of a federal #FloodInsurance program & #FAA reauthorization — but no #Ukraine #aid. Saturday’s passage in the #Senate ended a weeks-long #House debate over govt #funding…. The #Senate eventually ditched its own #stopgap #bill to pass a #House version.
The Senate vote was 88-9.

"Reeling from four hurricanes in 2020 & 2021 that caused $23 billion in damage, #Louisiana is undergoing an #insurance calamity that is harming the state’s economy and even reducing its population."
“If you look at where the costs end up, some monstrous proportion of the city would be unable to reasonably afford #FloodInsurance,” said Feldbaum. “And not by a small margin, but where it's just completely beyond the average households’ ability to pay the average #premium.”
