The polygon layer was created for estimating the impacts of a 100-year coastal flood with a sea-level rise of 1.4 meters (55 inches)along the California coast.
Data sources used in this process:
.This is part of the following larger work.
,.
Polygons indicate that land beneath the polygon has a lower elevation than the bfe_raster layer with a sea-level rise of 1.4 meters. County data was intersected from U.S. Census Bureau county lines.
