The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is taking an innovative approach to generate fresh ideas for visualizating flood risk. The approach involves 1 or 2 hackathons to generate visualizations and a substantial public engagement effort to determine which visualizations are the best understood. A hackathon is a design event in which computer programmers, software developers (including graphic designers), and subject-matter experts collaborate for one to several days to produce software or simulations on the spot. The primary objective is to achieve practical results that demonstrably improve public understanding of flood risk.
