Evaluate the project's sensitivity to flooding. Critical infrastructure generally requires planning for higher-impact, lower-probability scenarios.
Use tools like the NASA Interagency SLR Scenario Tool to obtain data for specific tide gauges, such as the Philadelphia gauge or other local stations. SLR(2022)
Develop short-, medium-, and long-term solution sets, such as nature-based defenses or elevating infrastructure. Key Planning Principles Evaluate the project's sensitivity to flooding
This guide outlines the application of the , a pivotal document providing updated sea-level rise projections for the United States through 2150. It is designed for coastal decision-makers and professionals to move from scientific information to actionable community resilience. Core Projections for the U.S. Coastline Develop short-, medium-, and long-term solution sets, such
Sea levels are projected to rise by an average of 10–12 inches (0.25–0.3 meters) .
The rise expected in the next 30 years is equivalent to the total rise witnessed over the previous 100 years.
