First Street Foundation Publishes GPL Flood Data / by GlobalPolicyLab Member

First Street Foundation, a nonprofit based in New York City, has published their national flood risk assessment with the assistance of the members of our team. This is the first comprehensive analysis of flooding risks throughout the United States, and represents an update from FEMA’s earlier models.

Ian Bolliger, Daniel Allen, Sol Hsiang and other lab members worked to produce a geospatial analysis of what future flooding would look like in residential areas and how homes and businesses would be affected.

Coverage can be found in the New York Times.
