North Carolina had an extremely wet February 2021 and the Lumber River reached major flood stage again.

For the second time in two years, Canada is experiencing major flooding. The most seriously impacted areas are in Ontario and Quebec, but parts of New Brunswick are also affected.

AIR conducted a flood damage survey in two heavily damaged cities, Lumberton and Trenton, North Carolina, both inundated with between 1 and 2 feet of water.

Read AIR’s flood damage survey of the Lumber and Trent river basins following the severe flooding from Hurricane Florence’s record precipitation.

AIR is developing worldwide flood hazard maps for markets where it is not yet possible to create fully probabilistic flood models (as we've done for the U.S., the UK, and Germany).

You can prevent flood damage to vulnerable property by raising it above expected inundation levels or by building defenses to prevent water from reaching it in the first place. But what if you could simply make the problem go away by helping homeowners relocate and then removing the exposure?
