The unsustainable trend of natural hazard losses in the United States. Assessment of the growing threat of urban flooding: a case study of a national survey.

National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Framing the Challenge of Urban Flooding in the United States (National Academies Press, 2019). Billion-dollar Weather and Climate Disasters, 1980–Present (NCEI, 2020) Our framework creates opportunities for transparently and equitably reducing flood risks in urban areas. These risks are disproportionately higher for non-Hispanic Black and disadvantaged populations, burdening communities that may have greater challenges recovering and reinforcing socioeconomic inequities. We find that between 197,000 and 874,000 people (median 425,000) and between US$36 billion and US$108 billion in property (median US$56 billion) are exposed to flooding greater than 30 cm within the 100-year flood zone, risk levels far above federally defined floodplains and similar to the most damaging hurricanes in US history.

Here, we characterize a fuller range of risks in Los Angeles, California, using a quantitative framework that intersects flood hazards from rainfall, streamflow and storm tides with measures of exposure and vulnerability including ethnicity, race and socioeconomic disadvantage. Flood risks in the United States have historically been underestimated, particularly with respect to human well-being and within low-wealth and marginalized communities.
