Exploring neighborhood‐level resilience to flooding: Why the context and scale matter
2021
Journal of Flood Risk Management
It then applies a geospatial network analysis to determine which study neighborhoods will have significantly reduced access to critical facilities such as emergency services, medical facilities, and schools ...
This article explores the role of contextual neighborhood-level considerations in community resilience planning in coastal urban locations. ...
An additional 1 ft. (0.3 m) of SLR increase will more than double the loss in accessibility to critical facilities in merely 15 years, which is an especially short time horizon for any major adaptive interventions ...
