Managed retreat (Geomorphology 🏞️)
Managed retreat involves the purposeful, coordinated movement of people and buildings away from risks. This may involve the movement of a person, infrastructure, or community. It can occur in response to a variety of hazards such as flood, wildfire, or drought. Politicians, insurers, and residents are increasingly paying attention to managed retreat f...

@nrdufour Interestingly enough, it's an actual "managed retreat from sea level rise" exercise there... But it required a nonprofit to buy out the houses from the owners.
"The Seashore recently purchased two threatened oceanfront properties and associated structures in Rodanthe. Thanks to the National Park Trust for their assistance and funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, properties at 23292 and 23298 East Beacon Road were purchased for fair market value using zero taxpayer dollars. Fair market value was determined by a certified appraiser and the Department of the Interior's Appraisal and Valuation Services Office."
our current climate plan is to crash through the +2C threshold in order to redirect Pacific typhoons to put out the California wildfires and to shift all the homes out of the wildland urban interface with debris flows

"In California, where fires have consumed more than roughly 220,000 acres of land in just this year, major insurers like State Farm, Allstate and Farmers have all pulled back. In some areas, they have stopped writing new policies and have canceled some existing policies...Spooked by these numbers, insurers are declining to write policies in huge swaths of the American West." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/business/wildfires-home-insurance-building-standards.html fts #CoreLogic re: #ManagedRetreat et al.
@lawfare It's long past time for #ManagedRetreat. People need to get out now while they can.
"Managed retreat does not mean moving the entire community, or even moving people from the suburb.
...
Instead, the suburb might exist within a smaller or changed footprint, Rowe says. "Maybe high-density housing, maybe there's more green and blue space. So when it does flood the water goes in those places rather than people's homes and living rooms."
“Katrina, it turns out, wasn’t a singular anomalous crisis. It was the beginning of a new era in which the reality of the storms and coastal surges was plain to see and looked nothing like the past. People began to realize that adaptation was less of an option than it used to be. Many simply had to leave. Almost every parish closest to the coast…has been fast losing population” https://www.propublica.org/article/climate-migration-louisiana-slidell-flooding re: #managedretreat et al.
Infuriating how state governments like #California (and the taxpayers who fund them) are subsidizing the insurance of people who have recklessly built mansions on ocean cliffs. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/05/california-luxury-homes-climate-change
"We find that as sea level rise changes the frequency of inundation events, 99% of properties currently within 1% AEP coastal inundation zones can expect at least partial insurance retreat within a decade (with less than 10 cm of sea level rise)...full insurance retreat is likely within 20–25 years, with timing dependent on the property’s elevation and distance from the coast, and less intuitively, on the tidal range in each location."

Otis, which intensified unexpectedly rapidly off the Pacific coast flooded hospitals, and hundreds of patients had to be evacuated to safer areas.
@cynblogger The monopolies are going to take advantage of #disastercapitalism as you note. Lara says fiscalizing #climate #modeling was the cost of keeping the well #capitalized companies in the state, retaining some competition, and avoid burdening the state as the insurer of last resort. The alternative was more #flybynight companies like the one that collapsed after #Paradise. He says the state will validate the models.
The market and courts have begun to price in #fire; shortly #floods and #extremeheat will push the market toward better actuarial models. Foster city raised their #levees, San Mateo is going to bond to do levees and #BiggerPipe engineering. But can you fit an atmospheric river in a pipe? Some cities are already taking about the street at the pipe, an option not available to Sacramento! There’s an opportunity to continue advocating with the insurance commissioner since actuarial science is a lousy route to #keepitintheground and #ManagedRetreat.
#California will let #insurance companies consider #climatechange when setting their prices, the state’s chief regulator announced Thursday, a move aimed at preventing #insurers from fleeing the state
#ManagedRetreat #insurancepolicies #actuarialscience
Without #emission reductions and #managedretreat from #vulnerable areas city #adaptation to #extremeprecipitation will be mostly miss.

In 2003, [Tony McMichael | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_McMichael] suggested that skiers would be the first to notice how the climate is already changing. He was right, but also too optimistic. It seems that people take a very long time to notice what's going on.
