Coastal flooding is expected to occur more than 10 times as often as it does today.
The rise expected in the next 30 years is equivalent to the total rise witnessed over the previous 100 years. SLR(2022)

Evaluate the project's sensitivity to flooding. Critical infrastructure generally requires planning for higher-impact, lower-probability scenarios.
Develop short-, medium-, and long-term solution sets, such as nature-based defenses or elevating infrastructure. Key Planning Principles
