Local floods induce large-scale abrupt failures of road networks

Local floods induce large-scale abrupt failures of road networks

The spread of flood-induced failures in critical infrastructure systems is understudied. Here the authors apply the CaMa-Flood global river flood simulation model to estimate the flood-induced failures and their spread in China and the US and find that the number of flood-induced total failures is i...
