Flood Risk
Syntectic International advises communities how to maintain historical levels of flood protection in the context of global warming.
Among the most consistent findings of climate change research is that the additional heat energy in the atmosphere will result in more intense storms. Because warmer air is capable of holding more moisture, these intensified storms also will have more moisture available to precipitate. These two effects increase the likelihood of floods.
As communities flooded in recent years have experienced, neither government assistance nor insurance coverage are sufficient to restore communities to their former thriving conditions. Proactive adaptation is the safest strategy for maintaining the health of your community.
