New Brunswickers can now zoom in to a visual image of their homes, neighbourhoods and communities to see how likely it is that climate change will create a risk of flooding over the next several decades.

The provincial government has released a new interactive provincial flood map showing different river and coastal flooding scenarios for today and for 2100.

Sabine Dietz, the executive director of CLIMAtlantic, a clearinghouse for climate research, says the maps are "basic" but valuable.

A little bit more "modelling" going on? lol

Most areas are already mapped by regional conservation authorities and indicate seasonal risks of flooding.
If your going to buy or build a home in a known flood plain.....well, let the buyer beware.

Typical remark in the newspapers-so residents can see how "Climate change "will put their property at risk of flooding.
Not ,living on flood plain. Unprotected flood plain.to boot.

Same like in BC-only conveniently omitted that the flood of 2021 reoccurred 3rd time in the past recoded history, with similar devastation effects.

Only 2 x in the past was no talks about climate change.

The old-timer back home knew-there are high water levels,then there is the 50 years flood,the 100 years flood and the 500 years flood.
Not that it occurred by exact anniversary-just ,it was a :"generally" accepted statistically proven reoccurrence. Each marked with higher and higher level of water.

So-they build levees to their financial might ,and set them to protect them at one of those water levels.

Plus-they even added the term-water level "with wind coming up on the river".
Thus each level would be expected to be even higher ,due of the wind keeping the water level higher.

But hey-what do those old people knew?

Climate change ,eh?
