The October 2024 flood in Valencia, Spain, stands as one of the most severe flooding events in recent history, with record-breaking rainfall and extensive impacts across southern and southeastern Spain. Triggered by an unusual cut-off low-pressure system, the storm brought intense and prolonged rainfall to the region, overwhelming natural and urban drainage systems. Some areas received hundreds of...

As Canada grapples with rampant wildfires during a summer of record-breaking heat, the looming threat of floods should not be underestimated. In fact, floods are the most frequently occurring natural hazard in Canada and occur almost five times as often as wildfires.
