    Coastal Flood Inundation Mapping Project (Opens in a new Window)

    The Capital Region Coastal Flood Inundation Mapping Project (PDF) provides a comprehensive picture of coastal flooding due to rising sea levels and tsunamis. The project provides enhanced coastal flood hazard information to: - Help planners and emergency managers prepare the region for coastal storm and tsunami events that may impact southern Vancouver Island and the Southern Gulf Islands. - Offer guidance to regional stakeholders to inform coastal flood policy, planning and communication efforts. - Better understand the infrastructure, ecosystems and cultural sites that may be at risk due to future sea level rise. - Identify risks to residents and infrastructure (e.g., harbours, marinas, docks) within the capital region as a result of tsunami waves and currents.
