The Little Levee That Could - 99% Invisible

Most of the stories in this series have been about places that are ill-prepared for the extreme weather that is coming their way. But this story is about a place that managed to get the kind of infrastructure that will actually help it survive climate change. How after more than two decades of tireless work,

Deadly #Floods Due to #Levee Failures Reflect Need for #Infrastructure Investment

Levees were never designed to handle extreme weather that is now more common due to climate change.

By Farshid Vahedifard, December 29, 2025

"In recent weeks, powerful #AtmosphericRiver storms have swept across #Washington, #Oregon and #California, unloading enormous amounts of rain. As rivers surged, they overtopped or breached multiple levees – those long, often unnoticed barriers holding #floodwaters back from homes and towns.

"Most of the time, levees don’t demand attention. They quietly do their job, year after year. But when storms intensify, levees suddenly matter in a very personal way. They can determine whether a neighborhood stays dry or ends up underwater.

"The damage in the West reflects a nationwide problem that has been building for decades. Across the U.S., levees are getting older while weather is getting more extreme. Many of these structures were never designed for the enormous responsibility they now carry.

"As a civil engineer at Tufts University, I study water infrastructure, including the vulnerability of levees and strategies for making them more resilient. My research also shows that when levees fail, the consequences don’t fall evenly on the population."

How to help WA flood victims (with links to Relief organizations)

A week of heavy flooding has devastated communities across Western Washington, destroying homes and forcing evacuations. And it’s not over yet: The National Weather Service on Saturday forecast more rainfall and wind in the coming days, as well as risk of additional flooding and landslides this week.
