The University of California Irvine received a $670,000 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation. The award is part of NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) and will support research into the "Dynamics and Perceptions of Ultrahazardous Flooding Across the Wildland Urban Interface" from August 2021 through July 2024. The grant funding will enable UC Irvine researchers to study how flooding risks are understood and experienced where urban and rural areas meet, with the aim of improving hazard communication and mitigation strategies in such vulnerable regions. The project aligns with NSF Engineering's goals of enhancing engineering innovation and strengthening the nation's economic competitiveness through targeted research support.
