Study finds Bay Area storms pose growing flood risk for homeless populations

A study suggests that homeless populations in some parts of the Bay Area face a severe threat from flooding due to rainstorms.

The University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources researchers behind the study found that over the past 30 years, rainstorms in the Bay Area have grown wetter and more frequent. These storms can cause flooding in low-lying areas, posing a severe risk to vulnerable populations such as homeless individuals living near rivers and creeks.
