United States of America: Climate change and extreme weather adaptation options for transportation assets

Alameda County in the San Francisco Bay Area contains valuable transportation and community assets for the region, including major connecting bridges, freeways, a port and airport, homes and businesses. To assess adaptation options for a subset of key transportation assets vulnerable to sea level rise inundation maps were developed showing six different sea level rise scenarios, as well as a detailed asset inventory, 125 potential adaptation strategies to reduce the vulnerabilities of these assets to flooding, and five more detailed concept designs including living levees, a breakwater, and governance strategy.
