• This interactive map shows the real-time potential for flooding and precipitation in relation to the energy infrastructure in the United States. 
• The map offers a variety of layers such as warnings for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and flash floods. 
  

Positives

• This map allows students to see how the current precipitation forecast could interfere with energy production or delivery.

Additional Prerequisites

• Layers can be manipulated using the double arrow icon and the layers icon, both of which are located at the top right-hand corner of the screen.

Differentiation

• Science classes could discuss which parts of the energy industry could be impacted by extreme precipitation.
• Engineering and Earth science classes could list the potential problems associated with increased precipitation (mudslides, contamination, damage to roadways and bridges, etc.).
• Other resources on this topic include this article on flooding in Louisiana and this Hot Mess video on how communities can survive climate disasters.
