Flood and Erosion Hazard Assessment/Mitigation
NHC excels in flood and erosion management, blending science-based modeling with policy initiatives. Our team assesses strategies, from site-specific to regional scales, using innovative tools like hydraulic modeling and GIS mapping. We pioneer multi-event analyses for designing protection infrastructure, crucial for adapting to climate change and land-use shifts. We take a science-based approach to develop integrated strategies emphasizing hybrid and nature-based solutions, community resilience, improved land use planning, and stakeholder collaboration.
