This Project Grant award of $499,993, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, will develop and implement a framework to improve flood hazard assessments and mitigation efforts in rural Texas communities. The project, titled "RAISE: Flood Resilience in Rural Texas Communities," will create novel methods for integrating community knowledge and priorities into characterizing and evaluating flood risks. It will also advance statistical techniques for incorporating hydroclimate variability into flood risk assessment and explore the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in earth systems modeling. The framework will be implemented in two rural Texas communities, with potential for replication in other counties. This research effort brings together expertise across scientific fields to address limitations in understanding flood risk drivers and designing effective mitigation strategies. The project includes two sub-awards. The University of Texas at Austin will support the development of a "performance-based paradigm for flood resilience," while Texas A&M University at Galveston will contribute its expertise in marine and coastal research. The award period runs from March 1, 2025, through February 29, 2028.
