STORMTOOLS shows coastal inundation projections from storm surge inundation and sea level rise. STORMTOOLS is a method to map storm inundation, with and without sea level rise, for varying return period storms that covers all of Rhode Island’s coastal waters.

- Is my property vulnerable to STORM SURGE?;
- How DEEP will the water be on my property during a 100-year (1% chance) coastal storm?; and
- Will projected SEA LEVEL RISE affect my property?
