Flooding is one of the costliest types of natural disasters in the United States. Across the Mid-Atlantic region, extreme precipitation-induced flooding has occurred nearly every season since 2018, leading to property damage, business disruptions, injuries, and loss of life. These events are expected to worsen into the future as a consequence of climate change, and communities throughout the region will continue to incur significant losses unless they undertake enhancements in stormwater planning and management to mitigate current and future flood risk. However, planning for extreme precipitation poses a broad set of challenges to stormwater management agencies. This Perspective presents key information needs for these agencies that could help lower barriers to understanding climate change and operationalizing climate information in local policies, regulations, and infrastructure design. Recommendations for applied research that would address these barriers and support stormwater management agencies in more effective climate adaptation at local, regional, and national scales are also described.

Climate change poses many challenges that affect society and the natural world. With these challenges, however, come opportunities to respond. By taking steps to adapt to and mitigate climate change, the risks to society and the impacts of continued climate change can be lessened. The National Climate Assessment, coordinated by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, is a mandated report intended to inform response decisions. Required to be developed every four years, these reports provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date evaluation of climate change impacts available for the United States, making them a unique and important climate change document. The draft Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4) report reviewed here addresses a wide range of topics of high importance to the United States and society more broadly, extending from human health and community well-being, to the built environment, to businesses and economies, to ecosystems and natural resources. This report evaluates the draft NCA4 to determine if it meets the requirements of the federal mandate, whether it provides accurate information grounded in the scientific literature, and whether it effectively communicates climate science, impacts, and responses for general audiences including the public, decision makers, and other stakeholders.

The report reviews a draft strategic plan from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, a program formed in 2002 to coordinate and direct U.S. efforts in climate change and global change research. The U.S. Climate Change Science Program incorporates the decade-old Global Change Research Program and adds a new component -the Climate Change Research Initiative-whose primary goal is to "measurably improve the integration of scientific knowledge, including measures of uncertainty, into effective decision support systems and resources."
