AECOM was selected by the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency to develop “The Impact of Climate Change and Population Growth on the National Flood Insurance Program Through 2100,” a study addressing riverine and coastal flood response to climate change in order to reduce the risk of flood damage.
Long-term erosion influenced by sea-level rise may cause shorelines in coastal areas to shift. By 2100, ignoring this shift could result in a 40-percent increase in special flood hazard areas in riverine and coastal environments across the United States (subject to regional variability).
