How to Assess my Coastal Flooding Risk?

While 40 percent of Americans live close to the coast, and could potentially be at risk of flooding from rising seas in the future, it is important to plan for safety. Augurisk provides a simple platform to assess if your current or future home or business is at risk from Coastal Flooding, while also assessing risks for storm events, earthquakes, wildfires, coronavirus, nuclear radiation, and more...

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) has warned that should the current greenhouse gas emissions persist, we could be headed towards a worst-case scenario of a 8.2ft (2.5m) sea level increase by 2100.

While the pace of sea sea level rise is accelerating along the US coastline, inundation and flooding are steadily becoming more likely, according to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (Vims), which states that the current speed-up in sea level rise started around 2013, caused by ocean dynamics, the loss of ice sheet and melting of large glaciers.
