This is the recording of the webinar Incorporating the cascading impacts of critical infrastructure damages in economic flood risk analysis during the DSD-INT 2021 on Wednesday, 3 November 2021.
As witnessed most recently in Hurricane Ida, the need to understand and prepare for the cascading impacts of critical infrastructure disruptions during flood events is of urgent and vital importance in flood risk management. Cascading impacts refer to impacts that occur in a domino effect, where the disruption of infrastructure leads to impacts on other critical infrastructure and the communities that depend on them. For example, when roads are flooded, hospitals may become inaccessible, resulting in at-risk residents experiencing a delay in urgently-needed medical care.
This webinar presents a generic and transferable framework to quantify the economic costs of cascading impacts when infrastructure is flooded. The development of the framework was funded by NOAA, and carried out as a collaboration between FIU, Deltares, ICF, South Florida Water Management District, and Broward County.
