Evaluate the project's sensitivity to flooding. Critical infrastructure generally requires planning for higher-impact, lower-probability scenarios.

Establish the planning horizon (e.g., 2050, 2100) based on the asset's expected lifespan.

Failure to curb emissions could lead to an additional 1.5 to 5 feet of rise by 2100. Step-by-Step Implementation Framework

Develop short-, medium-, and long-term solution sets, such as nature-based defenses or elevating infrastructure. Key Planning Principles

Coastal flooding is expected to occur more than 10 times as often as it does today.
