Business Leader Joe Tirone Jr. Presents at American Geophysical Union Meeting December 2017

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Dec. 5, 2017 - PRLog -- Joe Tirone Jr., Businessman and Superstorm Sandy Home BuyOut Activist will be speaking at the National Meeting about his successful strategies used to help the Staten Island Community affected by the Storm at the American Geophysical Union (GSU) annual meeting.

Joe Tirone Jr., a Staten Island businessman and community activist will be speaking on his experiences with the Staten Island community and local agencies to form a full buyout for those homeowners that were devastated by the historic Superstorm Sandy. He will present "Managed Retreat" in Response to Superstorm Sandy: The Oakwood Beach Story and highlight his experiences that led to a successful community buyout.

River and coastal flooding remain the costliest natural hazard worldwide. Spiraling losses are driven by growing human population, expanding infrastructure, and climate change.  Mitigating flood risk is an international priority.  Investments in flood-control infrastructure and mitigation can be locally cost-effective, but for the most vulnerable communities, piecemeal solutions are inadequate.  Among his last acts, President Obama instructed 11 federal agencies to develop a framework for "managed retreat" -- a policy for relocating entire towns threatened by climate-driven flooding and rising sea levels. Current targets include Isle de Jean Charles in the Louisiana Delta and the Alaska coastal village of Kivalina.  Along US rivers, about a dozen towns over the past 150 years have undertaken wholesale relocations.  Managed retreat – and broader resilience to flooding and climate-driven sea-level rise – requires rigorous interdisciplinary applied science, including in the earth and ocean sciences, climatology, hydrology, anthropology, and many other fields.
The panel is led by Nicholas Pinter, University of California Davis, and Christopher Dalbom, Tulane University.
