Coastal Risk Finder
Researchers use Coastal Risk Finder to assess flood risk.
Whether it's for an academic assignment, professional white paper, or community initiative, people conducting background research on rising seas and coastal flooding need clear and accurate data.
Coastal Risk Finder helps people produce custom analyses about coastal flooding using reliable, peer-reviewed science and sources.
These are the features most useful for conducting background research, along with guidance on how to get the most out of the tool.
Get custom sea level rise and coastal flood projections.
Use the Projections cards to get projected sea levels, coastal flood levels, and the probability of various water levels under different climate scenarios.
Assess who and what is at risk.
Easily analyze the risks that sea level rise and coastal flooding pose to the people, land, and homes in your area of interest using the Impacts cards.
By default, the tool shows what’s at risk of flooding at least once a year in 2050. Use the Select a scenario menu to toggle between different years and flood scenarios. Then, use the location search bar to choose your exact state, county, municipality, congressional district, or state legislative district of interest.
Download data visualizations.
Easily download bar charts showing projected water levels over time and choropleths showing which regions are most at risk. Climate Central’s terms of use encourage you to use these visuals for news, education, or non-commercial purposes with attribution to Climate Central.
