"The Water's Edge" PBS Movie
"The Water's Edge" explores the denials, financial incentives, and policy failures behind the flood disasters that cause the most death and damage in the U.S. and worldwide..
The movie includes an uncanny prediction for New Orleans fate just five weeks before Katrina made landfall. We see how wake up calls for such disasters are routinely missed with much worse events likely in the near future. "The Water's Edge" is currently airring on PBS affiliate stations around the U.S.

"Flash Flood Alley" PBS Movie
This movie follows the lives of five families who rebuild after the great Central Texas flood of 1998. Their stories unfold to show how the rapidly growing Central Texas corridor is the most flash-flood prone area in North America yet few know of the dangers or how to prepare. We see the characters' fate in a massive repeat flood in 2002. Flash Flood Alley has aired extensively on Texas PBS affiliates since the Spring of 2005.
