The National Science Foundation awarded a $149,944 Project Grant to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette through the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to support the project "Enhancing Community Engagement in Flood Mitigation Using Integrated Hydrodynamic Modeling and Multi-Scale Socio-Economic Risk Assessment" from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022.
Under this award, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette will work to improve community engagement in flood mitigation efforts through the development and use of integrated hydrodynamic modeling and socio-economic risk assessment tools. Specifically, the University will conduct hydrodynamic modeling of flood risks and assess related multi-scale socio-economic impacts to help communities better understand and mitigate flood risks. This work supports the National Science Foundation's objective of fostering innovation in engineering research to improve quality of life and economic strength. As the sole sub-awardee, the Louisiana Board of Regents will provide additional support for model development and community engagement activities.
