Don’t know your flood risk? Assess your vulnerability to flooding and sea level rise.There are several tools available for assessing your vulnerability to flooding and sea level rise:
- Sea Level Rise Viewer
- FEMA Flood Map Service Center
- Climate Central’s Surging Seas Risk Zone Map
Think more broadly beyond just flooding. Is your business vulnerable to other hazards that you should plan for?
You may want to consider hazards such as natural disasters (hurricanes, ice or snow, tornadoes, etc.), man-made disasters (beach closures, transportation breakdowns), and economic challenges (shortage of qualified staff).
- Use this worksheet from the American Red Cross to assess hazards and vulnerability
- Use this risk assessment checklist to identify and rate risks that may threaten your organization and employees
