Sea Level Rise Vulnerability (Ground) for Oahu at 1ft above MHHWSea Level Rise Vulnerability (Ground) for Oahu at 1ft above MHHWSea Level Rise Vulnerability (Ground) for Oahu at 1ft above MHHW
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This map shows the extent of flooding of low-lying inland coastal areas around the island of Oahu in the State of Hawaii due
to 1 foot (0.305 m) of sea level rise above mean higher high water (MHHW), created by subtracting the NOAA VDATUM MHHW surface
from a digital elevation model (DEM). These low-lying areas are not hydrologically connected to the ocean but have the potential
for flooding based on their elevation and require more detailed analysis. The resolution of the DEM is 3 meters and was derived
from the best available LiDAR data sets known to exist at the time of creation. Water levels are shown as they would appear
during the highest high tides (excluding wind-driven tides).Data produced in 2014 by NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM).
These data do not consider future changes in coastal geomorphology and natural processes such as erosion, subsidence, or future
construction. These data do not specify timing of inundation and are not appropriate for conducting detailed spatial analysis.
The entire risk associated with the results and performance of these data is assumed by the user. These data should be used
strictly as a planning reference and not for navigation, permitting, or other legal purposes.
