{ "currentVersion": 11.3, "cimVersion": "3.3.0", "serviceDescription": "Inundation surfaces that highlight areas of possible concern for different Sea Level Rise (SLR) scenarios. Flood surfaces were created for the following scenarios: \nMean Higher High Water (MHHW) plus 1\u2019 Sea Level Rise (SLR) \nMHHW plus 3\u2019 SLR \nMHHW plus 1\u2019 SLR and 3\u2019 storm surge \nMHHW plus 5\u2019 SLR \nHurricane of \u201938 flood levels in Newport, RI\n

\nAll elevation values reference NAVD88. The Hurricane of 1938 flooding was estimated using an 9.46 foot surge above MHHW, which was the maximum recorded value at the Newport Tide station. This is estimated to be similar to the FEMA \"100-year storm\u201d. Sea Level Rise (SLR) scenarios were based on the current CRMC policy which accommodates a 3 to 5 foot rise by 2100 and are illustrated at 1\u2019, 3\u2019 and 5\u2019 intervals. These elevation estimates are based on real data and are not a model. \n

\nCaveats: Inundation zones were created using single-value \u201cbathtub\u201d analyses, where the water level rises without detailed modeling or changes in topography. Inland hollows and other lowland areas maybe be seen as flooded, whereas they may not be connected to the sea and affected by the sea level rise. All flood surfaces are for general planning purposes only. They are very useful for highlighting vulnerabilities, but could vary widely from the results of an actual event. It is expected that these maps will be used in conjunction with expert local knowledge to refine the exposure risks.\n
