Podcasts about flooding

Guest: Dr. Renato Molina, University of MiamiEvery year, hurricanes threaten lives, infrastructure, and the economies of coastal communities—but what if better forecasting could actually save billions of dollars? Turns out, it already has! But how can we put a dollar value on something as complex as a weather forecast? Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Renato Molina of the University of Miami, who has dived deep into the economic impact of improved hurricane forecasts. From the costs of misjudged wind speeds to the hidden value of getting the forecast right, his research shows just how powerful—and expensive—information can be when a hurricane is on the horizon.Chapters00:00 The Economic Impact of Hurricane Forecasting07:10 Understanding Forecast Accuracy and Economic Value13:25 Protective Spending and Recovery Costs20:08 Quantifying the Value of Forecast Improvements29:56 Connecting Research to Policy and IndustrySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Floods are the most destructive natural disaster and, thanks to a heating climate, the damages caused by floods are expected to worsen significantly. Flood mitigation of the past, such as levies and dams, has proved inadequate and often counterproductive by mis-allocating precious resources. Tim Palmer argues that it's time to start relocating our built environment out of the places with a high likelihood of flooding. (Encore presentation.)

All eyes are on Texas as the state's legislature is set to convene for a special session that will likely be dominated by one agenda item: President Trump's demand to redraw the state's congressional maps. Former Texas congressman Colin Allred joins The Weekend to discuss the implications this could have on the midterms. And, as extreme flooding hits many parts of the nation, the Trump administration shut down a federal website that presented congressionally mandated reports and research on climate change. Representative Eric Sorensen, the only meteorologist in the U.S. Congress, joins The Weekend to explain how these budget cuts could make it more difficult to predict storms. Plus, Emmy-winning actor Jim Parsons joins The Weekend to discuss “Reclaim The Flag,” a new documentary which unpacks the LGBTQ+ community's relationship with the American flag and examines how it can be reclaimed as a symbol of unity for all Americans. 

Text Our Show HostsTonight, we're talking about weather-related disasters like the ones we're experiencing right now in the US. Specifically... Flash Floods. Now, you all seen floods right? But have you seen a Flash Flood…?Flooding is an overflowing of water onto land that is normally dry. Floods can happen for many reasons including heavy rains, rough oceans and seas, Spring thaws and melting snow , or even when dams or levees break. A damaging flood may happen with only a few inches of water, or it may cover the rooftops of houses. Floods can occur within minutes or over a long period, and may last days, weeks, or longer. Floods are the most common and widespread of all weather-related natural disasters.Flash floods, on the other hand, are the most dangerous kinds of floods, because they combine the destructive power of a flood with the incredible speed and strength of moving water and debris. Flash floods occur when heavy rainfall exceeds the ability of the ground to absorb it. They can happen within minutes, the cause and effects of distant rainfall, limiting the time available to warn and protect the public.More than 3,000 flash flood warnings have been issued in the United States so far this year — the highest number on record.Hurricane season in the Atlantic officially runs from June 1st to November 30th. The peak of the season, when the most activity occurs, is typically from mid-August to late October.Now, is the time to get prepped for floods and flash floods, if you haven't already.Let's talk about that…Visit HoneyComb Holler on YouTubeTOPSBunker.comPlease Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:Flood Survival Handbook PaperbackQuick Dam Emergency Flood Kit 10 Pack BucketPIG Water Socks to Mitigate Flood Water 6 PackWater Rescue Quick Deploy Throw Bag with High-Vis RingOS LED Boat Flares Super Bright 2 PackEmergency Glass Break & Seat Belt Cutter 2 PackSAFEHAMMER Glass Break Escape Tool 3 Pack w/accessoriesLuxoGear Emergency Whistle 120 dB w/Lanyard 2 PackArcturus HD Survival Blanket Insulated Thermal LargeSofirn SC31 Pro 2000 Flashlight Waterproof IPX8 RechargeableRaynic Emergency Radio w/NOAA Weather Alert LCD DisplayLIFESTRAW Go Series 1L Water Filter Bottle for Travel @ EmergencyMusic: The Talbott Brothers "The Comng Days"Support the show

When it's predictable and wildlife is well adapted, natural flooding can create a biological bonanza. In the Amazon River Basin, which holds one-fifth of the world's fresh water, annual rains can raise water levels 30 to 40 feet in just days. Forests turn into vast lakes, dotted with trees, while a massive push of sediment erects new islands almost overnight. It's a lush world that's home to some of the world's most iconic birds, including toucans, macaws, kingfishers, tiger-herons, and this Russet-backed Oropendola.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Flooding in cities across the United States, even extending all the way to Tokyo, have like clockwork imitated the talking points of climate change or DEWs and geoengineering. Without entering that argument we can simply take a look at the data: what are the records for single day rainfall in a state, city, etc? what is the record for monthly rainfall in those same places? what are the averages of rainfall in these places over a year? is the amount of rain, intensity of the rain, or number of deaths being used to create the 'worst of' story? what are the worst floods based on and when are the records set? what does this have to do with timing of the event, population density and what context does it have to better advancements in civilization? The flooding of conspiracy land is the only real hazard, which like climate change, encourages people to be part of a group identity by repeating talking points to sound knowledgable. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Bryan Hummel is a big-time water nerd. Specializing in nature-based solutions to watershed and land management issues, he has brought his expertise to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Air Force, industry, and agriculture. The key to preventing flooding, he says, is to restore degraded land so that the soil becomes like a sponge, absorbing water and recharging subterranean aquifers––and in the process preventing flooding and contributing to the success of farming and ranching businesses, which thrive with abundant water resources. His techniques include beaver and bison biomimicry and permaculture techniques that slow, spread, and sink water into the soil instead of letting it run off.
