Urban Resilience? The Case of Houston's Recent Flooding
Tuesday, April 19, 2016 7:45
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Terrible heavy rain (16 inches!) has hit Houston on Monday 4/18/2016. To protect its population Rice University cancelled school on Monday and Tuesday. When a major storm hits a multi million person rich U.S city, how much damage occurs? There are at least 5 confirmed deaths right now and wide spread flooding, but will the city's productivity be disrupted? Will institutions such as Rice open up later this week? Will they quickly catch up for the lost productivity? How much damage did the flooding cause?
