Multiple partners in the Long Island area gathered multiple datasets to create this interactive planning tool. Incorporating the built environment, habitat maps, and sea level predictions, this 35 minute video shows how planners can create multiple scenarios to visualise inundation effects on economic, socioeconomic and environmental assets.
