I pointed this out a few days ago about Camp Mystic.

(The graphics here are essentially the same as the final assignment I gave the GIS class I taught at a local University last semester, except I had them do parts of Asheville, NC after Helene).

Climate change and crumbling infrastructure create a ‘perfect storm’ for Americans living in flood zones

poorly or to try another form of protection. The latter option may be best, because America’s approach to these disasters must shift from flood control to flood avoidance. Given the uncertainties of what climate change will do in the future, we should give up the hubris that we can control nature with bulldozers, dirt and concrete. Instead, we should help people move out of floodplains and employ “nature-based measures” to reduce the force of future disasters.
