“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..."

Here's the story! (I guess they were waiting to post it after the 6pm news).
#EPA watchdog finds #BrunswickLanding is among #contaminated sites vulnerable to #SeaLevelRise, #flooding
Russ Reed, March 31, 2026
#BrunswickME - "The internal watchdog at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that about 100 of the nation's most #contaminated toxic waste sites, including one in #Maine, are in areas prone to #NaturalDisasters, posing a potential public health threat.
"The EPA's Office of Inspector General issued two new reports last week that are part of a series assessing the weather-related vulnerabilities of the 157 federal #Superfund sites prioritized for cleanup due to the serious risk they pose to public health and the environment. About 3 million Americans live within a mile of a Superfund site, while 13 million people live within 3 miles.
"Brunswick Landing, the site of the former #BrunswickNavalAirStation, is among the Superfund sites that were found to be at risk from multiple natural-disaster threats. According to the Inspector General, Brunswick Landing is one of 49 sites in coastal areas that are at risk from #SeaLevelRise or #StormSurge from hurricanes. Many of those sites are located near highly populated areas and important ecological locales like #ChesapeakeBay .
"Brunswick Landing is also one of 47 low-lying sites that are specifically prone to inland flooding from heavy rain. The Inspector General's review also found 31 sites in areas at high risk for wildfires."

#StormSurge damages beach front park near #RKBeach #Vizag

RT @VizagWeather247
BREAKING: Storm surge at RK Beach #Vizag today . Sea have come few feet front near Children's Park area.. Coastal erosion took place along coast line. #CycloneJawad Shown impact in the form of Sea surge finally. It's better to stay away from sea for next 24hours ! 😰🌀🌊
