- What is sea level rise, and how did it influence the January storms?
- How did each element of the storm – sea level rise, tides, storm surge, waves, and freshwater – affect flooding?
- How are climate impacts changing the frequency and intensity of storms?
- What tools are available to help communities with short-term and long-term planning?
- How can communities assess and address vulnerabilities? What factors impact social vulnerability?
- And more!
