We don't spend money protecting wetlands. We save it. Coastal marshes are the flood walls we never had to build, and during Hurricane Sandy they blocked over $625 million in flood damage. #wetlands #naturebasedsolutions #ecosystemservices #floodresilience #naturalinfrastructure

City of Calgary officials forecast river levels to peak by Tuesday
Despite the rising water levels, City of Calgary officials said 70 per cent of the damage potential from the 2013 floods has been reduced due to investments in flood resilience.

Reposted from #UNMaps Community Ambassador, Lucy Kago:

Every time floods hit Nairobi, the same question fills our timelines,

"How can we help solve this?"

This Saturday, we answered that question , before the floods come.

As #UNMappers Kenya, community ambassador, I ran a JOSM training session followed by a mini mapathon focused on Ruai, one of Nairobi's fastest-growing neighbourhoods in eastern Nairobi.

Noticing a pattern: 3 consecutive flood events in Italy. Repeated incidents may indicate a larger issue with infrastructure or climate resilience. Worth monitoring. #Mastodon #FloodResilience #ClimateAwareness https://troiamedia.com

Manoj and Thomas have represented Grassroute today at the CDRI Fellowship Project Stakeholder Meeting in Kochi!

The dialogue focused on critical gaps in healthcare access and the design of safe shelters during floods. We also delved into the growing challenges posed by tidal flooding in Kochi. Huge thanks to IIT Roorkee for leading this vital initiative. Looking forward to collaborating on a more resilient future for Kochi.

Singapore đã cách mạng hóa quản lý nước lũ bằng cách "sống chung" với nước thay vì chống lại. Thay vì đào cống hay đắp đê truyền thống, họ biến kênh thoát nước thành không gian công cộng xanh, kết hợp công viên và khu dân cư để giảm ngập úng hiệu quả. Bài học đô thị bền vững cho thế giới!

Cách Singapore 'sống chung' với nước mà không lo ngập lụt

Thay vì đối phó với ngập lụt theo lối truyền thống như đào thêm cống, đắp đê, Singapore đã chọn một hướng đi khác - biến nước thành bạn, biến kênh thoát nước thành không gian công cộng.
