We use a newly-developed national platform to rapidly produce exposure location profile reports for three coastal sites in the affected region, and share the report with colleagues. Each report provides a range of location metrics that are relevant to emergency management and insurance underwriting, especially for the delineation of low-lying coastal areas vulnerable to storm surges and inundation. Three reports can be downloaded below.
