Ready for Life

Everyone’s heard of global warming by now. We have watched the discussions regarding a hurricaine’s surge waters and recently seen the results of not managing our floodlands and protective coasts in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast of the United States. How real is the threat of flood water? And how does it affect you? Take a tour at Flood Maps for a sobering outlook. The website shows which areas are affected by flooding when the sea level rises. You can set the sea level rise from 0 metres (today) up to 14 metres. Rather indicative change, but we are slowly creeping up every year.
