Frequent nuisance flooding can be an early indicator of regions that will eventually see accelerated land loss and increased catastrophic flooding from hurricanes and tropical storms.Scope:• Initial thrust focused on coastal communities71:	The	Economic	Value	of	Resilient	Coastal	Communities,	NOAA,	2013ResilienceNational Research Council, 2012 Disaster Resilience: A National Imperative8Resilience:		The	ability	to	prepare	and	plan	for,	absorb,	recover	from,	or	more	successfully	adapt	to	actual	or	potential	adverse	eventsStrategic Goal/ObjectivesDevelop disaster resilience capability to enable:• Data-driven decisions• Risk-informed planning• Strategic mitigation preparationNear-Term (1-2 yr) Objectives• Build Resilience Team at NASA LaRC• Engage with external partners to establish the program and the team as a key collaborator• Cultivate coastal community relationships• Develop bi-lateral communication • Identify decision maker/policy-maker/planning needsValue: Every dollar invested in the mitigation of storm-surge effects on coastal communities saves the U.S. taxpayer four dollars in losses from natural hazards191:	The	Economic	Value	of	Resilient	Coastal	Communities,	NOAA,	2013Coastal Hazards Demo• Need:  Cross-cutting, interdisciplinary research and application to support coastal risk decision-makers at the strategic and tactical levels• Goals:  • Demonstrate value of multi-institution collaboration• Identify challenges and gaps in the incorporation of remote sensing and modeling into coastal hazards decision-making• Aid in research and disaster resilience capacity building related to individual and cascading coastal hazards10Demo Partnerships• 5 Universities• 3 NASA Centers• Kick-off workshop• Remote Sensing• Modelling• Prediction11t©e NASA Langley Research Cen1er 1917-2017 Marshall Space Flight Center I WILLIAM &MARY VIRGINIA INSTITUTE OF MARINE SCIENCE HAMPTON NIVERSI A DARO OF XC LLE E MisON UNIVERSITY .IPL Jet Propulsion Laboratory Modeling12Remote Sensing• VIIRS/MODIS optical flood mapping• Floodwater Depth Estimation Tool (FwDET) 13Sun,	2016VIIRS downsca led 30-m flood map : NRT Capability• Hampton University will provide NRT inundation mapping capability to the National Weather Service14Summary• The Disasters Program currently provides rapid response products • Developing a capability to support extreme high risk community resilience• The Coastal Hazards Demo is a first step• Actively seeking further                   collaboration opportunities!15
