Flood-resilient waterfront development in New York City: bridging flood insurance, building codes, and flood zoning.
Waterfronts are attractive areas for many-often competing-uses in New York City (NYC) and are seen as multifunctional locations for economic, environmental, and social activities on the interface between land and water. The NYC waterfront plays a crucial role as a first line of flood defense and in managing flood risk and protecting the city from future climate change and sea-level rise. The ci...
متن کاملIntroducing the Flood Vulnerability Index (FVI) as a flood crisis management tool
Background and objective: Floods are among the most dangerous natural disasters that causes loss of life and property every year. The destructive effects of floods are more documentedو due to climate change and increasing economic and social development. Social and infrastructural vulnerabilities have also increased due to human settlement adjacent to river floodplains. Therefore, to prevent mo...
متن کاملTheoretical derivation of the index flood
The expected value of the annual flood is always needed for attaining reliable estimates of the return period of floods. In particular, the accuracy of its estimate is crucial for ungauged basins, where regional analysis is to be invoked. The main goal of this research was to search for an index flood formula suitable to explicate the influence of basin characteristics such as geomorphology, ve...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Flood Protection
Many regions in the world are protected against flooding by a dike, which may be either natural or artificial. We deal with a model for finding the optimal heights of such a dike in the future. It minimizes the sum of the investments costs for upgrading the dike in the future and the expected costs due to flooding. The model is highly nonlinear, nonconvex, and infinite-dimensional. Despite this...
متن کاملDevelopment of Latrodectus Envenomation Severity Score (LESS); a Severity Index for Widow Spider Bite: Initial Step
Background: In order to describe the patients and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for widow spider envenomation, investigators require a reliable assessment tool. In this paper, the development of a clinical index for measuring the widow spider bite severity, Latrodectus Envenomation Severity Score (LESS), is described. Methods: According to the valid methods for index development, a D...
