FEMA quietly removes access to New England coastal erosion hazard tool
Planners and resilience experts say long-term erosion maps had been critical
The Coastal Erosion Hazard viewer on the Federal Emergency Management Agency website "predicted erosion risk across the coast for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100, and until recently was publicly accessible."
The largest flood in Earth’s history burst through Gibraltar and Sicily and refilled the entire Mediterranean in just a few years
**Evidence of the Zanclean megaflood in the eastern Mediterranean Basin**
“_Our findings provide evidence for a large amplitude drawdown in the Ionian Basin during the MSC, support the scenario of a Mediterranean-wide catastrophic flood at the end of the MSC, and suggest that the identified sedimentary body is the largest known megaflood deposit on Earth._”

In Bolivia's rural region of Beni near the border with Brazil, vast grasslands where cows once grazed have been submerged, forcing cattle and the cowboys that herd them to swim or wade to reach small patches of higher ground.

Sharing from a former classmate:
> I remember a time when my mother could not return home because the bridge she needed to cross flooded to a dangerous level, she had to seek shelter elsewhere until it was safe to cross. Moments like these inspired my painting and instilled a desire to create real change in my community.
> This was unknowingly the beginning of what has since become a path towards structural bridge engineering.
> For my undergraduate final engineering project, I am partnering with Engineers In Action to help design and later construct a pedestrian footbridge for the Shiselweni region in the country of Eswatini.
In March 2025, heavy rain in Queensland, #Australia caused severe flooding across the Australian outback. Some areas got more than a year's worth of rain in a week, leading to rising waters in Channel Country. Small towns and farms in southwestern Queensland were left underwater.
