    “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..."

  3. 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."

  8. #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 ! 😰🌀🌊
