Over the next 30 years the U.S. coast will experience a foot of sea level rise on average, the same amount seen over the past 100 years. Even a few inches of rise can make roads and sidewalks inaccessible, ruin crops, and damage infrastructure. Areas expected to see the highest rise include the Gulf Coast, especially from Texas to Mississippi and the mid-Atlantic region around Annapolis, MD and Norfolk, VA. The NOAA mapping tool shows how your neighborhood will flood with each foot of sea level rise.
