COLLEGE PARK, Md., March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Flooding is a pervasive problem across Maryland with reports showing it to be the most frequent and expensive natural disaster in the state. Climate change, development, and aging infrastructure have made the problem worse over the last several decades, with particularly devastating effects for socioeconomically vulnerable communities. To help combat this problem, University of Maryland Extension (UME) will partner with Maryland Sea Grant at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to expand understanding and use of existing flood inundation mapping (FIM) tools, and implement a newly developed one to mitigate flood risk and improve preparation across the state.

Key Points: 
  • University of Maryland Extension (UME) will expand understanding and use of existing flood inundation mapping (FIM) tools, and implement a newly developed one to mitigate flood risk and improve preparation across Maryland.
  • This funding will provide additional capacity to serve Maryland constituents and strengthen resilience to flooding in communities across the state.
  • "We have made tremendous strides in the practice of social science with regards to managing our environment and natural resources," said Bill Hubbard, Extension Program Leader for University of Maryland Sea Grant Extension and the project's principal investigator.
  • Fredrika Moser, director of Maryland Sea Grant, says this project aligns closely with Maryland Sea Grant's mission of reaching Maryland communities with science-based solutions.
