Why are flash floods getting worse, and how can you best stay safe? Experts @jeffschlegel of @columbia_ncdp and Jason Smerdon of @columbiaclimate and @LamontEarth explain. Via @TIME. time.com/7302498/flash-…

In this Q&A, @columbia_ncdp climate scientist @wxpizza talks about why Texas floods were so devastating, how warning systems need to consider different populations, and how we might integrate technology + local knowledge to avoid tragedy in the future: news.climate.columbia.edu/2025/07/15/a-d…

Having a plan can help you make better choices in an emergency, says Sabine Marx of @columbia_ncdp, adding she wouldn't want to "have to come up with this decision on the spot when I'm also possibly fearing for my life." Via @nytimes. nytimes.com/article/flash-…

Emergency responders often rely on a combination of census data, interviews, & families requesting help in finding missing people. Especially in a flood, there could be survivors who are injured or isolated by floodwaters, noted @IrwinRedlenerMD. ow.ly/GJnQ50WorbM @BBC

Climate Vulnerability Index: “We wanted to build something that shows not just who’s vulnerable, but who’s vulnerable and can’t pay to fix it,” says @columbia_ncdp's @jeffschlegel, who led the research initiative with @ColumbiaUEnergy's @gjain_nyc. hubs.li/Q03tYxM90

Climate Finance Vulnerability Index identifies countries that are at high risk of hazards but have little access to financing. With @RockefellerFdn support, index creation was led by @jeffschlegel of @columbia_ncdp with Gautam Jain of @ColumbiaUEnergy. ➡️ news.climate.columbia.edu/2025/06/25/glo…
