The risk of flooding on roadways and properties along the coast is much higher than other areas because of wave driven splash-over. However, there is still significant risk associated with properties that are non-coastal but adjacent to tidal wetlands. The proximity to tidal wetlands and the minimal elevation difference above tidal wetlands often makes roadways and buildings vulnerable to tidal flooding.
