Abstract Climate-induced disasters, particularly floods, pose a substantial risk to human well-being. These risks encompass economic losses, infrastructural damage, disruption of daily life, and potential loss life. This study focuses on understanding flood critical infrastructure, emphasizing the resilience reliability essential services during such disasters. In United States, railway network is vital for distribution goods services. research specifically targets in Iowa, state where impact flooding railways has not been extensively studied. We employ comprehensive GIS analysis assess vulnerability network, bridges, rail crossings, facilities under 100- 500-year scenarios at level. Additionally, we conduct detailed investigation into most flood-affected counties, focusing susceptibility bridges. Our state-wide reveals that 100-year scenario, up 9% railroads, 8% 58% 6% are impacted. these figures increase 16%, 14%, 61%, 13%, respectively. Further, our secondary using depth maps indicates approximately half bridges zones studied counties could become non-functional both scenarios. findings crucial developing effective disaster management plans strategies, ensuring adequate preparedness climate change impacts infrastructure.

The U.S. Clean Water Act is believed to have driven widespread decreases in pollutants from point sources and developed areas, but has not substantially affected nutrient pollution agriculture. Today, the highest concentrations surface waters are often associated with agricultural production. In this Perspective, we explore whether challenges stemming Act's inability mitigate also exacerbated by coarse monitoring. We evaluate current state of monitoring contiguous relative inputs assess how effort varies across agriculturally intensive areas. locations stations approximately seasonal sampling frequency (4 samples per year, on average) 2012 2021 were compiled Quality Portal.

Flood risk communication helps people plan for and recover from disasters, especially in flood-prone areas. The Nines of Safety (NoS) concept described this study provides a new perspective flood assessment. NoS method can help analyze comprehensively support decision-makers the public understand their vulnerability under various conditions. This novel approach considers physical parameters, socioeconomic factors, demographics to assess risk. analysis demonstrates that water characteristics are crucial determining safety. parameters deal with how income, age, population density affect flooding shows these factors scale. These variations highlight importance community-specific strategy. Explaining complexity assessment makes it more accessible. Given its quantitative qualitative effects, strategy could empower communities make sensible decisions adapt changing scenarios. better risks. Information on vulnerable individuals land use different profiles. discusses technique transform perceptions strengthen communities. By integrating into management, stakeholders may tailor responses each community, making them robust flooding.
