Appendix E
Phoenix Case Study
For the Phoenix case study, the committee did not convene a full workshop. Instead, they held a meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, to which local, state, regional, and federal stakeholders were invited. The meeting included presentations and discussion on four aspects of urban flooding:
- Physical aspects of urban flooding (built and natural environment),
- Data and informational aspects of urban flooding (forecasts, maps, demographics),
- Social aspects of urban flooding (people and institutions), and
- Actions and decision-making aspects of urban flooding.
Additional details on the topics covered in the presentations are available at http://nationalacademies.org/Urban-Flooding-Visits.
The committee meeting was followed by site visits to four Phoenix and Scottsdale locations.
