| 英文摘要 | Background: Flooding in New York City is an increasing challenge. Recent storm events, such as Hurricane Ida, brought flash floods to the city for the first time, with property damage and deaths. The identification of vulnerable populations and how to increase flood resilience to coastal and pluvial events are climate change adaptation goals for city officials, bureaucrats, scholars, and stakeholders. Methods: This analysis examines coastal and pluvial flood vulnerability by census tract in New York City. A variety of data sources are combined to create flood vulnerability maps using the exposure-sensitivityadaptive capacity framework. A principal components analysis (PCA) with orthogonal rotation of social variables identifies four distinct hazard-sensitive populations clustered in different parts of the city. Publicly provided adaptive capacity resource (transportation and evacuation, health, communications and information, and hazard mitigation) accessibility is defined by distance. Moderate and extreme flooding levels from coastal and pluvial storm events define exposure. Results: We identify specific areas in the city where flood exposure and hazard sensitivity are high and access to adaptive capacity resources is low. These locations are defined as high flood-vulnerable areas. Within the high flood-vulnerable areas, there are differences in the size of hazard-sensitive group populations (Hispanic poor, Asian immigrant, elderly living in high-rise buildings, and African American low-income). Conclusions: The spatial combination of these variables identifies locations where targeted policies can promote hazard resilience. Our results illustrate a potential model to address and enhance flood vulnerability policy in the city. |
