Rising seas threaten the viability of thousands of coastal communities in the US. Encroaching water means higher high tides that seep into streets and first floors, sunny-day flooding, and more water to fuel dangerous and destructive storm surges. So many buildings—homes, schools, hospitals, parks, fire stations—are clustered on our coasts, at risk of being regularly inundated with seawater, and built for a climate that no longer exists.
