    "(NOAA) 1. This dataset depicts land at risk of permanent flooding when sea level rises. There are six map layers showing the area inundated at one, two, three, four, five and six feet of sea level rise. Over the next 30 years, scientists estimate a one to three-foot rise along most of the U.S. coastline. These data can be used to look for areas of potential permanent inundation based on chosen sea level rise estimates (i.e., 1 to 6 feet) in relation to locations of social and economic vulnerability.\n\n2.
