Living in North Carolina during hurricane season isn’t easy for anyone.

Traditionally, our coastal areas see the biggest impacts, and while hurricane force winds can do a lot of damage, flooding is what causes the most destruction.

But it might surprise you to know that coastal flooding doesn’t just happen when storms hit and that traditional prediction models around flooding aren’t as accurate as they could be.

Katherine Anarde, assistant professor of coastal engineering, joins the Audio Abstract to talk about how we can improve flooding predictions and make coastal communities more resilient.
