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