ニューヨーク・タイムズのインスタグラム(nytimes) - 4月20日 10時49分

While on assignment for @nytmag, @benlowy photographed 2 homes in Larchmont-Edgewater, a neighborhood in Norfolk, Virginia that’s frequently plagued by floods. The house on the right has been raised above flood levels; the one on the left has not. Here, in Norfolk, the operative measurement for rising waters is not given in inches but feet — as many as 6 of them by the end of the century, the Army Corps of Engineers says. The city now mandates that new buildings be constructed 3 feet above current base flood elevation. But Norfolk is an old, established city, so changing the way new structures are built can only go so far. And while @fema pays to elevate risky houses, it struggles to keep up with demand: Wetlands Watch, a local nonprofit, concluded that, at the current rate, it would take 188 years to raise all the houses on the @fema waiting list in Norfolk. By then, of course, waters would be far higher. Visit the link in our profile to read more.
