Description

Literature concerning the potential effect of climate change (sea‐level rise inundation and 100‐ year storm events) on the San Francisco Bay region’s transportation infrastructure is reviewed in this study. Currently available geographical information system data is employed, and a review of how those datasets have been used in previous studies is reported. The second part of this paper presents methods. A metric to assess change in the transportation infrastructure is introduced that calculates accessibility of first responders to the population at large.
