In this paper, the authors estimate county-level variations in older populations’ heat exposure in the early (1995–2014) and mid (2050) 21st century in the United States of America.

Using a new composite climate-risk index, this study shows that population in high-risk counties in the United States has grown disproportionately over the last few decades, even relative to the corresponding commuting zone.

This study uses a crowd-sourced municipal call database to characterize the spatial distribution of floodrisk in Detroit, MI. Call data including dates and addresses were obtained from the City of Detroit Department of Public Works for 2021.

The intention of this report is to offer a synopsis of both impacts and responses, translating peer-reviewed research, agency reports, and other primary sources to help empower a wider audience with useful insights and guidance.

The authors of this paper present a methodology to study the risk of urban floods in tandem with access to shelter to reduce the risk of flooding to communities and prevent a natural hazard from turning into a human disaster.
