Maya Rodriguez is a National Correspondent, reporting for all E.W. Scripps television stations across the country. She is based in Washington, D.C., but she travels extensively from coast to coast and around the world for stories of interest.
For the more than 128 million people in the U.S. who live in counties that border the sea, water is never far away. Yet, it may be getting closer in ways not previously examined until now.
"This idea that direct inundation, or direct flooding of people and properties, isn't really getting the whole story of how sea level rise is likely to impact communities," she said.According to NOAA, sea levels could rise by as much as a foot and a half along America's coasts in the next 30 years. However, new research shows the flooding risk is even greater for some communities than previously thought.
The researchers created an interactive map that allows anyone to look up their county and see for themselves how many people are at risk from flooding or isolation due to sea level rise in a given area. Low-lying communities there are already dealing with so-called"sunny day flooding," which occurs during high tides and can swamp streets.
