El Niño and Climate Change Hit California Coast as FEMA Help Falls Short
Original: As El Niño and Climate Change Collide on California Coast, FEMA Says You're On Your Own
A new analysis from the Union of Concerned Scientists argues that California's coastline faces a dangerous combination this season: a strong El Niño driving severe storms and erosion, amplified by long-term climate change and sea-level rise. The report contends that FEMA's flood insurance and disaster programs leave coastal homeowners largely exposed, effectively telling residents they are on their own as rising waters threaten communities.
Why now: A strong El Niño winter is raising immediate fears of coastal flooding and erosion in California, drawing attention to gaps in federal disaster protection.
