ASSESSING RISK TO INFRASTRUCTURE
By 2050 larger areas of Merchants Way and Main Street could be impacted by storm surge flooding.
Annual flood exceedance probabilities for all buildings in the project area will have increased due to sea level rise and intensifying storms increasing flood extents and water surface elevations for AEP.
Compared to 2030, more buildings have a 25 – 50% annual chance of flooding, with the concentration of buildings most likely to flood being in the southeastern part of the project area.
Further up Main Street, most buildings sit between 2% - 10% annual chance of flooding.
The buildings are colored according to the highest probability (and lowest intensity) AEP that would impact the building at the Finished Floor Elevation (FFE).
