With Elizabeth Albright, a colleague at Duke University, Deserai Crow is working to understand the policy responses in the aftermath of the September 2013 floods along ¾«Í¯ÓûŮ’s Front Range. Understanding the factors that encourage policy learning and adaptation in local policy contexts may prove critical, since this can mean the difference between ongoing flood vulnerability as a consequence of extreme weather events rather than long-term resilience. Determining the factors that increase the likelihood of successful policy adaptation in response to these extreme events will produce policy-relevant knowledge that may encourage long-term local-level adaptability and resilience to extreme climatic events.
