Establishing Baseline and Comparative Frameworks of Flood Risk Awareness, Adaptation, and Mitigation in Troy and Kingston (Phase III)

Other Titles

Abstract

In 2019, the CaRDI-based team accomplished two main objectives. (1) We designed a household survey questionnaire for implementation in Troy and Kingston. We finalized the survey instrument and identified the sampling design in consultation with the Hudson River Estuary Program and Cornell’s Survey Research Institute (the survey was implemented in late spring 2020, with a delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic). (2) The team has also analyzed data from focus group discussions and interviews and presented initial results from qualitative work at four conferences. Qualitative data analysis activities have included coding of focus group and interview transcripts, analyzing and contextualizing core themes in participants’ statements about flood risk and resilience measures, presenting initial findings for feedback, and starting to compose a journal article. These analyses have raised questions about flood insurance and attitudes toward local government that we have incorporated into the household survey questionnaire. Based on this work the research team has secured federal and state funding in 2020 to expand our work to other locales.
