WASHINGTON The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it will award a $3.7 billion grant to help Puerto Rico rebuild water and wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations and reservoirs damaged by Hurricane Maria more than three years ago.
As victims of typhoon-prone Philippines’ worst floods in 50 years clean up and rebuild, its disaster-risk management is back under the spotlight
Climate change has made the tropical storms that hit the Philippines every year more severe. It has responded by improving warning systems and management plans
Yet the plans come to nothing. They aren’t given enough priority, co-ordination and direction are lacking, and laws aren’t enforced, a disaster-risk expert says
I am a PhD student in the Meteorology Department at the University of Reading.
My research project is titled: The Role of Post-Tropical Cyclones for European Extreme Weather - This SCENARIO funded PhD aims to improve our understanding of the importance of Post-Tropical Cyclones (PTCs) from a risk perspective across Europe, identify the key drivers of historic interannual variability of PTC impacts across Europe, and to investigate how PTC impacts may change across Europe in a future, warmer climate.
