Massive highway flooding predicted in Gulf Coast region by expert from Federal Highway Administration
At a discussion held by the American Meteorological Society on the effects of climate change on transportation, Michael Savonis, Air Quality Team Leader at the Federal Highway Administration, says that 2400 miles of highways in the Gulf Coast Region are at risk of permanent flooding due to climate change. He says that 4000 miles are at risk if smaller roadways are taken into account. He says that this high number is “a very good reason for the transportation world to care about climate change.”(0:41)
