Government officials—including planners, floodplain managers, hazard mitigation officers, resilience officers, and FEMA or NFIP coordinators—need to understand, communicate, and mitigate the risks from sea level rise and coastal flooding.
From customized analyses for grant applications to compelling visuals for town hall meetings, Coastal Risk Finder helps officials assess coastal flood risks and develop adaptation strategies for their communities.
These are the features most useful to government officials, along with guidance on how to get the most out of the tool.
Use the Select a scenario and Additional settings menus to customize the year, pollution pathway, flood level, sea level rise projection source, and more. Choose projections from NOAA or the IPCC or select a custom water level.
Easily assess the risks that sea level rise and coastal flooding pose to the people, land, and homes of your jurisdiction using the Impacts cards. These cards include downloadable data and choropleth maps of the risks to various demographic categories like social vulnerability, age, and race. Navigate to your jurisdiction using the location search bar. Analyses are available for all U.S. coastal states, counties, municipalities, congressional districts, and state legislative districts in the states and D.C.
Get inspiration by browsing curated lists of adaptation projects and programs in each coastal state in the Solutions cards.
