2018 State of U.S. High Tide Flooding with a 2019 Outlook
Tide gauges of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are measuring rapid increases in coastal flood risk along U.S. coastlines due to relative sea level (RSL) rise. The most noticeable impact of RSL rise is the increasing frequency of high tide flooding (HTF) that in...
2018 UN World Water Development Report, Nature-based Solutions for Water
The 2018 edition of the World Water Development Report (WWDR 2018) seeks to inform policy and decision-makers, inside and outside the water community, about the potential of nature-based solutions (NBS) to address contemporary water management challenges across all sectors, and particularly...
2019 Monsoon Through Rainfall and Flood Review
In late January 2019, tropical Queensland received an extended period of heavy rainfall as a result of an intense slow-moving monsoon and tropical lows. This event continued to affect Queensland until 9 February 2019. In response to the event, the Minister for Fire and Emergency Services, the...
A framework to assess integration in flood risk management: implications for governance, policy,...
Over decades the concept of integration has been promoted to enhance alignment between policy domains, and to manage trade-offs and maximize synergies across management practices. Integrated approaches have the potential to enable better outcomes for flood risk management (FRM) and society as a...
A guide for public-sector resilience bond sponsorship
This paper offers a path forward for governments at all levels—cities, states, federal agencies, and international aid programs—to align public-sector disaster risk reduction measures with private insurance using Resilience Bonds. This new bond mechanism was developed to (1) expand financial...
A Guide to Selecting Ecosystem Service Models for Decision-Making: Lessons from Sub-Saharan Africa
Over 80 modeling tools for mapping ecosystem services have been developed to help decision-makers better understand their local systems. These often consist of a set of models, each representing a particular ecosystem service. However, the usefulness of these modeling tools to support...
A rapid flood risk assessment method for response operations and nonsubject‐matter‐expert...
Flood risk planning and emergency response at community levels rely on fast access to accurate inundation models that identify geographic areas, assets, and populations that may be flooded. However, limited flood modelling resources are available to support these events and activities. We present...
A toolkit for procuring resilience
The Procuring Resilience Opportunities (PRO) Toolkit focuses on ways cities and utilities can immediately work within their current procurement systems to enable better resilience outcomes. Local procurement processes have the potential to either enable this transition or stymie it completely....

Adapt now: A global call for leadership on climate resilience
The Global Commission on Adaptation seeks to accelerate adaptation by elevating the political visibility of adaptation and focusing on concrete solutions. This report focuses on making the case for climate adaptation, providing specific insights and recommendations in key sectors: food security,...
Adaptation to flood risk: Results of international paired flood event studies
This study aims to improve the understanding of the primary drivers of changes in flood risk, in order to support effective adaptation. The study analyzed eight paired floods, that is, consecutive flood events that occurred in the same region, with the second flood causing significantly lower...
Adaptive management for resilient communities
Short-term projects and linear management approaches are often unsuitable for achieving resilient development in the face of volatile complexity. Adaptive management combined with longer-term project funding has the potential to deliver more appropriate development outcomes. This will require...
Adoption of Flood Preparedness Actions: A Household Level Study in Rural Communities in Tabasco,...
Of all the natural disasters, floods are the most common. While they affect most countries around the world, poor communities are particularly vulnerable to flood risk. The use of precautionary and preparative measures are key for minimizing related flood impacts; however, little is known about...
After the storm: how the UK’s flood defences performed during the surge following Xaver
Thousands evacuated and one in six properties at risk – the flooding which hit the UK in December 2013 was the worst since 1953. This review by Zurich experts looks at measures taken and structures put in place over the years. It also shows why it is important to maintain flood protection...
