The Union of Concerned Scientists identifies numerous New Jersey communities facing 'chronic flooding'—defined as high tides flooding 10% or more of usable non-wetland area at least 26 times per year. Under an intermediate scenario, 21 communities will face this by 2035, increasing to over 100 by 2100. Under a high scenario, 73 communities are exposed by 2060 and 131 by 2100, including Newark and Elizabeth. The report argues that reducing global warming could save 28 or more communities by 2060 and 45 to 73 by 2100. Recommended actions include updating flood risk maps, reforming insurance premiums, funding FEMA programs, and implementing population relocation strategies.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) identifies several Texas coastal communities, including the Bolivar Peninsula, Sabine Pass, and Galveston, that face chronic flooding—defined as high tides flooding 10% or more of usable non-wetland area at least 26 times per year—by 2030 to 2100 depending on the sea-level rise scenario. The document argues that reducing global warming to around 1.8°C could save between 7 and 16 Texas communities from chronic flooding by the end of the century. To address these risks, UCS proposes three policy categories: ending risky coastal development, improving existing disaster frameworks like FEMA, and creating bold new policies for population relocation and infrastructure investment in safer areas.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) identifies several California communities, including Alameda and San Mateo, that face 'chronic inundation'—defined as high tide flooding 10% or more of usable land at least 26 times per year—by 2100 under intermediate sea level rise scenarios. In a high-rise scenario, this timeline accelerates to 2080. The report highlights specific risks to military installations in San Diego and developing neighborhoods in San Francisco. However, the document notes that limiting warming to approximately 1.8°C (the 'low' scenario) could prevent any California community from reaching the 10% chronic inundation threshold by the end of the century. To address these risks, the UCS advocates for halting risky coastal development, enhancing disaster response funding, and creating new policies for managed retreat and relocation.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) identifies numerous Florida communities facing 'chronic inundation'—defined as high tide flooding 10% or more of usable, non-wetland area at least 26 times per year. Under an intermediate sea level rise scenario, five communities will face this by 2035 and 53 by 2100. In a high scenario, Miami Beach and Key Biscayne could see 60% and 50% of their areas chronically inundated by 2060, respectively. The report argues that limiting global warming to approximately 1.8°C could spare between 39 and 71 Florida communities from this fate by 2100. To address these risks, UCS advocates for halting risky coastal development, enhancing disaster response frameworks like FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, and creating new policies for managed retreat and relocation.

It advocates for a science-based approach to adaptation, including updating flood maps, reforming insurance, and creating relocation programs.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) warns that many Louisiana communities face 'chronic inundation'—defined as high tide flooding 10% or more of usable, non-wetland area at least 26 times per year—within the coming decades. Under an intermediate sea level rise scenario, 95 southern Louisiana communities will face this by 2035, increasing to 131 by 2100. In the high scenario, some areas, including all communities in Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes, could see 90 to 100 percent of their land area chronically inundated by the end of the century. The report argues for a science-based approach to adaptation, including updating flood risk maps, reforming insurance, and creating programs for retreat and relocation.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) identifies numerous Maryland communities, particularly on the Eastern Shore, at risk of chronic inundation—defined as high tide flooding 10% or more of usable non-wetland area at least 26 times per year. Under an intermediate sea level rise scenario, 22 communities will face this by 2035 and 17 more by 2100, with some areas like Crisfield facing flooding of over half its land area within 20 years. The report emphasizes that limiting global warming could spare between 9 and 31 communities from chronic inundation by the end of the century and calls for updated flood maps, reformed insurance, and funded relocation programs.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) identifies Massachusetts communities at risk of 'chronic inundation'—defined as high tide flooding 10% or more of usable, non-wetland area at least 26 times per year. Under an intermediate sea level rise scenario, five communities will face this by 2060 and 13 by 2100. Under a high scenario, those five communities will be affected by 2045, with 23 communities affected by 2100. The report highlights that working-class towns like Chelsea and Revere are particularly vulnerable, with up to 30% of Chelsea's land area potentially chronically inundated by 2060. The UCS argues that limiting warming to approximately 1.8°C could spare several communities, including Boston and Cambridge, from this fate. Recommended responses include phasing out risky coastal development, enhancing FEMA's mitigation programs, and creating new policies for managed retreat and relocation.

The Union of Concerned Scientists identifies that under a high sea level rise scenario, four New Hampshire communities will face chronic inundation by 2100, defined as high tide flooding 10% or more of usable non-wetland area at least 26 times per year. While the 10% threshold is reached late in the century due to inland areas and higher elevations, low-lying neighborhoods in towns like Seabrook and Hampton already experience disruptive flooding. The report suggests that limiting warming to 1.8°C could spare up to four communities from this fate. Recommended policy responses include phasing out risky coastal development, enhancing FEMA's disaster response frameworks, and creating new programs for retreat and relocation.
