Fwd: AGU Weekly: 17 million US citizens face severe flood risk

[John Nissen]

Hi Doug, 

See AGU News, first item. The article refers to some research presumably in a paper. The article and referenced paper should go on our website.

We must add relevant articles together with PRAG outputs to the website: the one that starts with the PRAG mission statement.

The site needs updating. I suggest separating articles and PRAG submissions into separate lists and ordering each list by 'latest at the top'. Papers for reference can be added as numbered references, as conventionally.

I thought it would be relevant to sea level rise but it's about the increase in storm intensity. Sea level rise will make things much worse!
