Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 7 | A storm surge, one of the most damaging impacts of a coastal storm event, is an abnormal local rise in sea level, caused by deepening low pressure in the core of the storm that creates an extreme difference in barometric pressure between the tropical system and the atmospheric environment outside the system. As a result, a dome of water rises under the eye of the storm and is eventually pushed onto the coastline as the storm makes landfall. The height of a surge is measured as the deviation (in feet) above the average sea level. In extreme circumstances, storm surge can and has exceeded a height of 25 feet in other areas around the world. Storm surge is especially damaging due to the combination of a high volume of water covering a large geographic area that is moving toward or across the land at high velocity. According to NOAA, 9 out of every 10 deaths associated with coastal storms are caused by storm surge—demonstrating why this water phenomenon is often the greatest threat to life and property from a tropical system. As the scale demonstrates, when a storm grows more intense, the resulting storm surge is more likely to reach greater heights and bring more significant damage. Storm surge may also accompany significant coastal storms that are known along the east coast as “Nor’easters.” Baltimore experienced 13 storm surge/tide and coastal flood events in the period from 1999 to 2017. The combined anticipated sea-level rise, land subsidence, and potential for tropical systems to cause tidal flooding will likely increase the intensity of storm surge events.(Excerpt from DP3) | 01/20/2022 02:27:05 |

Description
This data is collected through the CDP-ICLEI Unified Reporting System. When using this data, please cite both organisations using the following wording: ‘This data was collected in partnership by CDP and ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability’.
This dataset contains a subset of the related full cities dataset, covering Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Action questions for publicly disclosing cities in 2021. The platform is still open and the dataset is updated daily to reflect new submissions.
To view the cities 2021 questionnaire guidance, including all questions asked to cities in 2021, visit https://www.cdp.net/en/guidance/guidance-for-cities.
For any questions, including guidance on how to reference this data in your own work, please contact cities@cdp.net.
Please note that this dataset may contain data from cities or, in some instances, groups of cities at different administrative levels. This includes metropolitan areas, combined authorities, and some regional councils.
When using the inventory data for aggregation, comparison and trend analysis, please note that the inventory data is based on non-verified self-reported city inputs. The reported inventory may not include all emission sources within the city boundary.
