Interactive map shows New York areas at risk of flooding by 2050

An interactive map from Climate Central shows areas in New York at risk of flooding by 2050 due to rising sea levels. The map highlights vulnerable regions, particularly along Long Island's southern coast and barrier islands, which could be mostly underwater. Manhattan is projected to remain mostly safe, with minimal water encroachment. In contrast, coastal neighborhoods in Suffolk and Nassau counties, including Freeport and Island Park, face significant flooding risks. New York City plans to build seawalls for protection, though some projects are delayed due to cost and feasibility debates. The map indicates New Jersey may experience more severe flooding than New York.
