Modest flooding can trigger catastrophic road network collapse due to compound failure
Flood impacts on the functioning of a transport network are substantially exacerbated by indirect effects such as congestion due to changing traffic patterns, suggests an analysis of the impact of Hurricane Harvey on transport in Harris County, Texas using network percolation theory.
