The Visible and Unseen Dangers Lurking in Floodwater. Floodwater carries risks of injury, illness, and even death. Flooding is the most common and costly natural disaster in the U.S., and thanks to climate change, rising sea levels, wildfires, and changing precipitation patterns are increasing the number and intensity of extreme weather events with torrential rainfall. Already this year, there have been 39 flood-related deaths. Forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are predicting “above-normal” hurricane activity this season, adding to the flooding risk.

As the climate continues to warm, flooding—and its associated health risks—is becoming more common.

Shoresides: a local journalism project

Shoresides was launched by journalists in coastal North Carolina as a project of the nonprofit Working Narratives. The devastation of Hurricane Florence exposed a need for local journalism in rural coastal North Carolina. Shoresides acts as the region’s nonprofit civic journalism lab and produces stories, trains civic journalists, and brings communities together to build a healthy media ecology for the region.


  • Producing original content covering the region’s culture, politics, and pressing issues.

  • Bringing people together through our Free Movement Conference focused on civic journalism in the coastal region

  • Training civic journalists through our Coastal Youth Media Project and our Media Resilience Fellowship program
