There are solutions to protect Lincoln Park

Although flood risk can never be completely eliminated, communities that adapt to higher flood risks can limit flood damage and lower flood insurance costs. Learn more about solutions.

Properties protected by adaptation

Lowering flood risk starts with higher standards

Some places plan to a higher standard (a "500 year" standard) that lowers the number of properties at severe risk. Protecting homes to this level would reduce the risk to the 1,993 severely affected properties by 77%.

Flood Event		% chance of flooding in a given year		% chance of flooding over 30 years
100 year		1%		26%
500 year		.02%		6%

Flood risks vary by depth and likelihood.

Deeper floods from major events, like hurricanes, are less likely to occur, but cause greater damage than more shallow flood events, like heavy rains.

Solutions can protect Lincoln Park.

Individuals, mayors, governors, and Congress can work together to build protections before flooding, build back stronger after flooding, and create plans that future-proof communities. Learn more about solutions.

Green infrastructure is a cost-effective and sustainable flood management approach that gathers and removes water at its source.

By providing space for managed flooding, communities can reduce the flood risks for homes and businesses. These spaces can include cemeteries, golf courses, and parks.
Restoring or constructing new marsh or wetlands provides areas for water to be stored, therefore reducing flooding.
Rain gardens reduce flash flooding by collecting rainwater and allowing time for the water to be absorbed or carried away. Bioswales are larger but functionally similar, and usually a part of a larger stormwater drainage system.
Beaches and dunes work as natural walls to reduce the impact of storm surges. Adding sand to make beaches bigger helps limit coastal erosion and protect communities from flooding.
Restoring and building up natural infrastructure such as barrier islands, oyster and coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass, and salt marshes is a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to reduce flood risks.

Flood risks are increasing because of the environment.

A changing environment means higher seas, new weather patterns, and stronger storms. As the atmosphere warms, there is more evaporation and more water available when it rains.

A warmer atmosphere also means warmer oceans, which can intensify flooding from hurricanes and offshore storms. Sea level rise also increases coastal flood risks, as higher seas mean there's more water available when high tides and coastal storms cause flooding.
