Project Description
This study will explore the relationship between discrete flood events and cumulative risk, changing locations of jobs and businesses, and household migration in coastal Louisiana. The team will develop a modeling approach to assess storm and flood-related migration that leverages new sources of business and residential microdata to support population and asset growth scenarios associated with the Coastal Louisiana Risk Assessment (CLARA) model.
