You're on it. The region manages a lot of its rainfall-driven flood risk by quickly infiltrating water into the ground, which is highly porous. But if there's no space in the ground to put it, due to a higher ground water table, then the water spreads out on the land surface.

A postscript: this work was funded by the now "archived" Humans, Disasters and Built Environment program at the National Science Foundation.

This work reinforces the need for risk communication efforts by governments and others to emphasize the actions that are effective and are within the capacity of residents. This work also highlights the need to build capacity where it is lacking.

Two major findings here: (1) increasing risk awareness among residents DOES NOT translate into behavior that mitigates risks, and (2) residents WILL take action when: (a) they know what they are doing will work, and (b) they have the capacity to do so.

OK. This is really bizarre. Is this how all businesses are going to engage Trump?

Congratulations!
