Flood events are getting more severe due to changing environmental conditions, with noticeable consequences for infrastructure facilities. Infrastructure in this respect encompasses a wide range of public and private facilities including utilities, emergency and public services such as airports, hospitals, and police stations. In 2021, Texas was the U.S. state with the largest number of infrastructure facilities facing flood risk, with a total of 2,840 units. Ranking second was the state of Pennsylvania, where some 2,207 infrastructure facilities faced risk of flood.
