Description

The Roadmap for Adapting to Coastal Risk was developed by NOAA as an approach to help communities assess coastal hazard risks and vulnerabilities. The Coastal Flood Exposure Mapper was developed to help communities kick-start conversations about coastal risks. The mapper enables users to explore maps that show people, places, and natural resources exposed to coastal flood hazards and create a collection of maps to share and communicate about flood exposure. The map tool includes hazard, societal exposure, infrastructure exposure, and ecosystem exposure layers. The Societal Exposure section of this tool includes the mapping layer choices of: Population Density, Poverty, Elderly, Employees, and Projected Population Growth.
