The Coastal Flooding Story Map<\/a> describes how coastal communities are being impacted by sea level rise and identifies resources and actionable data that can help. The story profiles the work of NOAA\u2019s National Ocean Service and Old Dominion University to monitor and forecast sea level rise. This data helps coastal communities understand which areas are most vulnerable to flooding and how to adapt to the increased risk from sea level rise. Old Dominion University’s \u2013 Commonwealth Center for Recurrent Flooding Resiliency (CCRFR) has taken the modeling from NOAA and extended it to the Commonwealth of Virginia to identify and map infrastructures at risk at certain projections (years 2040, 2060, 2080).\u00a0 More information can be found in the \u201cFuture Sea Level Rise and Recurrent Flooding Risk for Coastal Virginia\u201d<\/a> report. The story map takes advantage of the latest enhancements of ArcGIS StoryMaps with the new swipe block and the Tidal theme. These features make it easy to visualize data and have the visual design match the content of the story map.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":875991,"id":875991,"title":"swipeblock","filename":"swipeblock.jpg","filesize":295429,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/swipeblock.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-living-atlas\/sharing-collaboration\/coastal-flooding-rising-seas-more-flooding\/swipeblock","alt":"","author":"6701","description":"","caption":"","name":"swipeblock","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":874951,"date":"2020-06-03 18:33:58","modified":"2020-06-03 18:33:58","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1246,"height":685,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/swipeblock-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/swipeblock.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":255,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/swipeblock.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":422,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/swipeblock.jpg","large-width":1246,"large-height":685,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/swipeblock.jpg","1536x1536-width":1246,"1536x1536-height":685,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/swipeblock.jpg","2048x2048-width":1246,"2048x2048-height":685,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/swipeblock-826x454.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":454,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/swipeblock.jpg","wide_image-width":1246,"wide_image-height":685}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
