Thanks to a $1.2 million award from NOAA, NCICS and partners at NC State will lead a new initiative to “connect science to action” and help people prepare for extreme weather.
The South Atlantic Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) program will study flooding, extreme temperatures, drought, wildfire, and hurricanes—working directly with communities to create the tools they need to be more resilient.
In addition to partners at the State Climate Office and College of Engineering at NC State, NCICS researchers will also be working with collaborators at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Furman University, Georgia State University, the University of Georgia, and the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science.
