Flood Management in the
coastal regions of the United States includes research relevant to structural
water management and natural disaster recovery. Structural water management
includes an advanced understanding of a range of potential materials and methods
to plan, prepare and manage, respond, and recover from a range of natural
hazards, especially storm surges and waves from flooding events, under a variety
of conditions affecting levees, dams, marshes, spillways and floodgates. Natural
disaster recovery includes such areas as innovative debris removal and disposal,
sustainable reconstruction, rapid restoration of services (power, water,
transportation, communications, health), and mutual aid. SERRI has funded the
following flood management projects.
