This team included scientists who work locally and regionally on different aspects of flood risk, and a panel of external reviewers also reviewed the draft content.

New Hampshire communities are dealing with more frequent and intense flooding as sea levels rise and stronger storms drop more rain.

So to better understand how New Hampshire's coast is changing, every five years the state of New Hampshire updates a resource called the New Hampshire Coastal Flood Risk Summary.

The science and projections and best practices are always improving and new issues are emerging.

So it's really important that we have this resource updated regularly so that decision makers, coastal practitioners, coastal municipalities and state agencies all have access to the best available information and resources to inform smart decision making plans in the future.

The New Hampshire Coastal Flood Risk Summary consists of two parts.

Part one, Science, provides a synthesis of the latest trends and projections for coastal flood risk in New Hampshire.
