“How do coastal nature-based solutioNBS
ns reduce flooding in one area and not induce flooding elsewhere? Conversely, what characteristics and processes can lead gray infrastructure to cause flooding outside of their protected area?”

“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Coastal flood mitigation is studied with hydrodynamic and idealized semi-analytical modeling.
• Mechanisms of flood wave dissipation, storage and reflection are quantified and evaluated.
• A storm surge barrier for Jamaica Bay, New York, stops but reflects a 100-year flood wave.
• Nature-based strategies can attenuate a storm surge with minimal induced flooding.
• Partial reflection shifts the reflected storm surge wave phase, limiting water level increases..."

#TropicalStormSara to unleash life-threatening #flooding in #CentralAmerica
Tropical Storm Sara will bring an extreme risk to lives and property in Central America where feet of rain may fall before tracking toward #Florida next week.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Nov 14, 2024
"Rain may pour down for days on the northern parts of #Nicaragua and #Honduras before shifting to eastern parts of #Guatemala, #Belize and southeastern #Mexico this weekend.
"A general 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) will fall in this zone, but a large pocket of 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) of rain is forecast from northern Honduras and Nicaragua, with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 50 inches (127 cm).
"'This amount of rain will trigger major #FlashFlooding and #mudslides with the potential for catastrophic loss of life and tremendous damage,' AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter warned.
"Some communities could be cut off for days due to washed-out roads and bridges or blocked by debris flows. Demands for rescue and recovery efforts, as well as food and medical supplies, will be great in the wake of the storm in the region.
"Because of Sara's proximity to the #Caribbean for several days, it will likely not unwind fully. As a result, winds, waves and #StormSurge will blast the coast of #Honduras, eastern #Guatemala, #Belize and Mexico's #Yucatan Peninsula. Sporadic #PowerOutages are likely due to #StrongWinds."
