Likewise, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration researchers are providing the data, tools and information to better understand and prepare for climate change.

Key Points: 
  • Likewise, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration researchers are providing the data, tools and information to better understand and prepare for climate change.
  • One of the effects being impacted by the warming climate is a change in frequency of flash flooding events, as well as the locations in which they most often occur.
  • The research team used climate simulations and modeling of a 30-year period, 2070-2100, to predict the location and degree to which flash floods are likely to occur.
  • The best way to stay safe during flash flooding events is to stay off the roads and avoid standing water.
