Northern Gulf of Mexico Flood Risk Under Sea Level Rise

The values in this dataset include the percent of damaged buildings, displaced people, and people that would require shelter for the 0.1% and 0.2% annual exceedance probability (AEP) coastal flood along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast (Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida panhandle). The data includes values for sea level rise scenarios of low (l, 0.2 m), intermediate-low (il, 0.5 m), intermediate-high (ih, 1.2 m), and high (2.0 m). The datasets were produced by the FEMA HAZUS (FEMA, 2013) software using storm surge flooding results from Bilskie et al. (2019). Bilskie, M. V., S. C. Hagen, and J. L.
