Surging Seas Charleston Map

“The multi-part tool provides local sea level rise and flood risk projections, searchable interactive maps, “fast look” community reports, data downloads, and exposure tabulations by zip codes, municipalities, counties, and more. Exposure assessments cover over 100 demographic, economic, infrastructure, and environmental variables using data drawn mainly from federal sources, including NOAA, USGS, FEMA, DOT, DOE, DOI, EPA, FCC, and the Census. Maps are based primarily on the same five-meter horizontal grid digital elevation model (DEM) used by NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer and consider water levels up to 10 feet above mean higher high water (MHHW–VDatum for contiguous U.S.)”

-US Climate Resilience Toolkit

This tool provides a “point and click” interface for the user. There are mapping options available for many cities in the US.
