Adapting to Rising Tides Bay Shoreline Flood Explorer

The Adapting to Rising Tides (ART) program has developed this website to help Bay Area communities prepare for the impacts of current and future flooding due to sea level rise and storm surges by learning about causes of flooding, exploring maps of flood risk along our shoreline, and downloading the data for further analysis. These maps increase understanding of what could be at risk without future planning and adaptation, helping Bay communities, governments, and businesses to drive action.

Subregional Flood Exposure and Vulnerability

This exposure assessment supports adaptation planning for the Oakland-Alameda Adaptation Committee (OAAC) and the OAAC Adapt projects, specifically the Subregional Adaptation Plan. The analysis supports long-term adaptation strategy development, high-level evaluation, and prioritization within the Oakland-Alameda Subregion (Subregion).

Existing Conditions Report
