Community Flood Risk in Sidney
Major storms, like heavy rain, melting snow, and/or storm surges can increase risk of flooding, particularly in low lying areas. Sea levels are expected to rise gradually over the century as a result of climate change, and winter storms are expected to increase in intensity. Planning for climate change and sea level rise in our community now will help reduce costs and impacts in the future since the risk from wave inundation (shoreline flooding) is expected to increase over time.
