Description
Climate change and human population growth are increasing the frequency, severity, and impact of natural disasters across the Western United States. As increasing aridity exposes wildland and agricultural ecosystems to greater risk of drought and fires, stronger intensity of summer rainstorms is exposing low-lying and riparian areas to greater risk of destructive floods. Meanwhile, growth of human populations and economies is expanding and intensifying...
