Most people are wondering how your property will fare in a world with higher sea-levels? Here's a tool that could help. Click Here! Once the site has loaded use your mouse to drag the map around and find the area you live in, the slider at on the left side zooms in and out, and at the top then choose between 1 metre to 14 metres of sea-level rise. However, I think who put this site together, just looked at altitude. Since, the shaded flooded areas that occur, when you select 3 m of sea-level rise, is simply land with an elevation of 3 m above current sea-level. I'm saying this because the shaded areas will not include areas that may be on higher ground but are nevertheless at greater risk of floods and storms. This site can take a while to load everything, so be patient! It very interesting.
