Coastal Risk Finder
Citizens use Coastal Risk Finder to understand the risks to their neighborhoods.
Coastal citizens need to understand how sea level rise and coastal flooding will affect them and learn how they can prepare their homes, families, and communities.
Coastal Risk Finder provides straightforward facts about local risks and solutions via user-friendly maps, graphics, and articles.
These are the features most useful to coastal residents, along with guidance on how to get the most out of the tool.
Find out if and when your home could be at risk.
Navigate to your community using the location search bar to see an interactive map of projected coastal flooding in your area. By default, the map shows areas at risk of flooding once a year by 2050.
To see areas at risk from flooding expected every 10 or 100 years, open the Additional Settings menu and use the Projection Type slider. Even a small chance of flooding in a given year can equate to a fairly high risk over many years — a home with a 1% chance of flooding in a given year has a 26% chance of flooding during the course of a 30-year mortgage.
Learn how you can adapt.
The Solutions cards provide information and resources about a range of ways you can respond to increasing flood risk — everything from simple steps, like signing up for your community’s warning system, to more elaborate options, like raising your home.
