Needs and Uses: Information from the surveys described here is needed to support research that was appropriated in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260). In the explanatory statement on Division D of the Act, Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021, the Regional Sediment Management program was appropriated additional funding to address research and development for compound coastal flooding to "enhance the resiliency of coastal communities and mitigate socioeconomic and environmental consequences of extreme coastal hazards." This includes funds provided to support cooperative efforts between the Corps and academia to address compound flooding issues. The explanatory statement can be accessed at the following link: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CREC-2020-12-21/pdf/CREC-2020-12-21-house-bk4.pdf. This Congressional funding resulted in a $5 million joint effort between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and the University of Alabama under the Cooperative Agreement "Coastal Compound Flooding under Uncertainties: Physically-based and Data Driven Modeling Framework." Research tasks 9 and 10 of this cooperative agreement seek to address the Congressional directive to connect enhanced flood forecasting with community resilience.
This research effort seeks to inform improved modeling of compound coastal storm events, including improved simulation of impacts to communities and of protective action-taking. The proposed tasks contained in the Broad Agency Agreement with the University of Alabama seek to identify effective flood risk communication tools that influence coastal residents' risk mitigation actions and to better understand key community stakeholder communication of hazards. Execution of these tasks requires the University of Alabama Principal Investigator and research team to gather information through three community and stakeholder surveys. Findings from their analysis will inform coastal storm hazard modeling and risk communication for better outcomes from storm events, meeting the Appropriations Bill directive described above.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: One-time collection.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
