Please put any questions in the chat for Dr. Hendricks!

2 questions! 1) how can efforts to restore and redistribute functional stormwater systems contribute to gentrification? 2) how have COVID supply chain disruptions interacted with infrastructure repair, access, and equity? -- Sonya

If the government is unwilling to invest in improving national stormwater/sewage infrastructure, do you think that some of the cities' and states' initiatives implementing green infrastructure (green alleys, green roofs, bioswalles, etc.) are enough to mitigate the infrastructure crisis?

What role do FEMA and the NFIP play in either helping or hindering efforts to achieve more equitable adaptation or mitigation systems for flood preparedness or post-flood recovery efforts?

Building on Brown House Water Party’s questions, could investment in green infrastructure be an opportunity for co-design with communities to make wonderful new green spaces?

[PS Greetings from Sheffield UK, which like most European cities has an almost entirely Combined network]

Great talk and thanks for all of your work.I've been going back and forth with using SVI for analysis and was wondering if you have thoughts on using it vs measures of income, race, and ethnicity? I appreciate how SVI can help capture the multiple systems of oppression at play and things that might make people more exposed to risk/longer recovery. But, I've been wondering if it obscures the role of racial capitalism and pulls the focus away from how people, places, and goods/services are racialized. Just wondering if you could share some of your thoughts on using SVI?

How does the future of Sea Level Rise interact with this issue in coastal cities?

That’s such a powerful phrasing re: the legal mandate for habitats but not for homes. Broadly, are there other policy interventions at either the federal or state level that you see as a important in addressing this issue?

Connected to Liz's question: Have municipalities also been supporting and investing in existing grassroots efforts that mitigate impacts of flooding (i.e. community gardens and community green spaces) in addition to the more centralized or "traditional" green infrastructure designs?

I worked at a water|wastewater treatment plant, where we managed water for nearby cities in addition to our own waters. Have you considered/what proposals could you offer communities without independent infrastructure to address the challenges of stormwater or to those cities/plants managing multiple?

From a praxis frame, what would you advise residents to impact these 'water issues'

Thank you so much for sharing your research with us, really fascinating! In my own research in Baltimore, I've learned about efforts by the city to use vacant lots to help manage stormwater - what do you think of this strategy?

Thank you!
