PPT-New Mapping Tool and Techniques for Visualizing Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts

Doug Marcy NOAA Coastal Services Center ASFPM 2011 May 17 State Regional and County Needs Assistance with collection of consistent standardized elevation data and avoidance of duplication Federal agency guidance and justification for flood tide and storm elevations for coastal areas to use for creating inundation models. A study by the UK Met Office identifies that as populations migrate towards coastal regions this will increase to 30M by 2080 The same study suggests that if sealevel were to rise by 44cm a midrange estimate the number of people suffering would incr ADAPTATION PLANNING PROJECT:.

Key Message #1. 8. Ch. 8 | Coastal Effects. America’s trillion-dollar coastal property market and public infrastructure are threatened by the ongoing increase in the frequency, depth, and extent of tidal flooding due to sea level rise, with cascading impacts to the larger economy. Higher storm surges due to sea level rise and the increased probability of heavy precipitation events exacerbate the risk. Under a higher scenario (RCP8.5), many coastal communities will be transformed by the latter part of this century, and even under lower scenarios (RCP4.5 or RCP2.6), many individuals and communities will suffer financial impacts as chronic high tide flooding leads to higher costs and lower property values. Actions to plan for and adapt to more frequent, widespread, and severe coastal flooding would decrease direct losses and cascading economic impacts. . on . Projected Future . Growth . in . Newport .
