INSTRUCTIONS:Use the interactive map (below) to set the area
of the flood-risk map (right).
You can choose a pre-selected area (with the radio buttons)
or interact directly with the map below (pan & zoom, then click).
Interactive Map
Click to set the area (red) for flood risk (right)
Pan and zoom this map to provide context for the risk-analysis map displayed on the right.
Flood risk is only available inside the blue boundary.
Flood Risk
Use the interactive map (left) to set the area below
Detailed risk analysis:
this quantitative map has site-specific detail
on exceedance (i.e., where to expect the 100-year flood,
10-year flood, etc).
Asset risk:
this planning tool answers questions such as: "How high should I build
in order to make flood risk tolerable?"
The science: description of the algorithm for
assessing coastal flood risk.
