Core themes within this work include:</br> </br>1) Characterization of compound flood and heat+flood hazard and risk</br>2) The role of insurance in the interrelated insurance/mortgage/ housing markets</br>3) The impacts of flood risk on municipal finances</br>4) Improving equity considerations in the design of strategies to manage flood risks</br>5) Household decision-making regarding flood risk in low-income, renter-dominated neighborhoods</br> </br>This talk will introduce MACH and highlight emerging lessons from MACH's transdisciplinary research and engagement model.isciplinary research and engagement model. +
