UNDERSTAND YOUR PROPERTY’S RISK TODAY
COASTAL RISK ASSESSMENTS
As the impacts of climate change become a reality, an increasing number of coastal properties are becoming vulnerable to both flooding and erosion. At OMCN we encourage home owners, buyers and developers to be proactive in this space, ensuring that they are aware of any risks associated with their property.
Our coastal risk assessments provide all the information you need to understand your erosion and flooding risk as a result of sea level rise. Our clients can relax knowing that they have all the information to make an informed decision about their coastal property with an OMCN coastal risk assessment.
WHAT DOES A COASTAL RISK ASSESSMENT INCLUDE?
SEA LEVEL RISE
The science behind sea level rise is constantly being updated as new data becomes available. Since 1990 sea level rise predictions have consistently been increasing. At OMCN sea level rise is our niche, and we use the most up to date scientific data and predictions within our coastal risk assessments to forecast the local impacts on your property.
COASTAL FLOODING
As the sea level increases so too does the risk of coastal flooding often referred to as coastal inundation. Our coastal risk assessments investigate and map the coastal flooding risk to your property under current and future sea level rise scenarios. This information will let you know which areas of your land are vulnerable to coastal flooding and allow you to plan appropriately to protect key infrastructure.
COASTAL EROSION
Coastal erosion and landward recession is predicted to increase due to sea level rise and increasing storm severity associated with climate change. Our coastal risk assessments analyse your property’s erosion risk utilising historical erosion rates combined with the erosion characteristics of your coastline. This erosion risk will be mapped to clearly illustrate your property’s risk under current and future sea level rise scenarios.
COASTAL RISK TIMELINE
Our Coastal Risk Assessments provide a succinct timeline outlining how your property’s coastal risk profile will change over the next 20, 30 and 80 years. This enables you to identify if and when your risk exposure is above your tolerable level.
