“…The questionnaire survey was conducted with the owners or managers of commercial properties, and the research was built upon the previous findings of Abreu's surveys in the same area [25]. Abreu [25] performed interviews in 52 stores (Figure 2) from April to May 2019, addressing the extreme events of 23 November 2015 and 20 March 2018, and among which only 37 stores were located in the same place as in 2015. The Central Market wasn't included in the questionnaire, because they did not suffer great losses due to having a gate at the entrance of the building to protect it from floods, while the stores inside the market have their own floodgates.…”

“…In this research, a survey was created on the Google Forms platform, which was of great help, since it is capable of generating reports from the collected data, providing predetermined automatic calculations, the possibility of including photographs of the location, as well as the collection of geographic coordinates and easy export to Excel.

“…In January 2020, we conducted walking interviews in 23 stores about the flood event of 12 January 2020. The 52 stores chosen by Abreu [25] and the 23 in this work were chosen from among 141 stores potentially suffering from damage with the extension of the flooded part of the floodplain (based on observational data). The questions used are shown in Table 1.…”

“…In addition, another field survey was carried out in April 2020 to collect floodgate height data and determine which stores had closed or changed addresses among the 52 stores interviewed by Abreu [25] in 2019. This field survey was important to show how stores stores had reacted after 2020's flood and to check whether there had been any improvement in their individual levels of protection, since the interviews did not capture any post-2020 adaptation, due to the short time between the flood and interview.…”

In this research we used walking interviews to investigate the measures used by shopkeepers as protection against floods. The concept of anticipated memory has been used to identify the relationship between their learning from previous events and the adaptive measures they have taken to reduce risk of future flooding in Gregório Creek basin. The area is affected by major flooding issues in the city of São Carlos, southeastern Brazil. Twenty-three (23) downtown merchants shared their experience of the extreme rainfall that occurred on 12 January 2020, characterized by a return period of 103 years. Comparing our findings with November 2015 and March 2018 floods (Interviews 37 and 52 respectively), we noted that due to the enhanced level of threat, people had changed their adaptation strategy by increasing the sum of floodgate height more than 4-fold (870 cm to 3830 cm) between 2015 to 2020. Our results showed that despite frequent flooding, the shopkeepers downtown were reluctant to move away from the area; rather, they preferred to improve their individual protection. The substantial increase in the height of the floodgates represents the population’s feedback in the face of a new level of threat.

These almost 4 years have made me face so many varied, complex, and challenging things that I never thought I would be able to face. The pursuit of a doctorate degree made me a better person, not only through the knowledge that I received but also by the life lessons that this journey taught me. By constantly looking for new challenges, methods, visualization tools or even trying to solve sometimes never solved problems, I think my life will never be the same. The concept of what is something difficult has changed. Pursuing a Ph.D. helped me pursue a better life filled with desire, joy, and willingness to become a better person.There must be someone somewhere who gave me the strength and put me in the right place and at the right time multiple times. I thank God for that. If you asked me by the time I finished my undergraduate that I would be able to have a Master's degree and eventually two Ph.D.s, I would say that it was impossible. For God, nothing is impossible if you believe in him and have an open mind enough to face the unknown path under his guidance, even if you are scared.Several important people gave me the tools, strength, and support to cope with such difficult times, especially during the 2020-2022 pandemic. I would like to give a more than special thanks to all the support given by Eudiana Sousa, whom I personally admire and think was fundamental. I have learned a lot from you. I would also like to thank my parents, Edeliar T. Saraiva, and Marcus N. Gomes, my brother Eduardo. T. N. Gomes, and my sister, Ana C. Gomes. Without your support, I would not have been able to.Without agency funding, this research would be impossible. I greatly appreciate the support received from CNPQ, CAPES, FAPESP, and the San Antonio River Authority to partially fund my research. It is relatively unfair to only thank a couple of friends and colleagues who helped me.Therefore, I thank all PPGSHS and CPG, especially Sá, Rose, Tatiana, and César. I also thank the Wadi Lab, and all friends and colleagues that helped during this process. I had excellent talks with professors from USP and UTSA, also during conferences at AGU, EWRI, and SBRH, or even talks during short courses with outstanding professors that inspired me to believe that we can develop highlevel technology in Brazil. However, I need to be specific with some estimated friends and colleagues.My gratitude is infinite toward my supervisors, Dr. Eduardo M. Mendiondo from USP and Dr. Marcio H. Giacomoni from UTSA. Mario always believed in me without any proof at first. He simply gambled in my potential and showed me that somehow he knew more about me than I at the beginning of my academic career. Sometimes we just need someone to push us forward, someone who trusts us and gives us confidence to try to perform our best work. Besides the academia, Mario is a friend, someone that I have the pleasure to say that I can count on not only for my formal education, but also for life in general. Thank you, Mario.Another absolutely great example of guidance and supervision is w...
