Description:

By 2100, rising seas could put at least 600,000 coastal Californians at risk of flooding and cause over $150 billion in property damage. That’s according to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey, which estimates that Bay Area residents will constitute two-thirds of those affected statewide. We’ll talk about the Bay Area communities that are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise and what can be done to mitigate its effects.
