How Topography Boosted Western North Carolina's Flood Danger

Here's my Sustain What conversation seeking lessons from the catastrophic inland flooding triggered when Hurricane Helene's remnants collided with the Appalachian Mountains. My guest is David McConville, a data visualizer and risk communicator who grew up in the regions hammered by Helene and lived and worked in Asheville for many years trying to use technology, including a visualization dome, to convey the flood threat in the corrugated hills and hollows there.

We talk about a visualization he created 15 years ago to help Asheville citizens, agencies and elected officials forge paths from vulnerability to resilience.

He now lives in California, where he continues to do similar work, including a project aiming to prepare Los Angeles for the inevitable arrival of a Pacific-spawned extreme atmospheric river.

His company is Spherical Studio:
