Did Your Contact Information Change? Let FEMA Know
Did Your Contact Information Change? Let FEMA Know It is important for Georgians who applied for FEMA assistance to update their contact information. FEMA has not been able to reach many survivors due to disconnected numbers or numbers that have changed but were not updated. This could hamper eligible survivors from receiving additional assistance which could include housing options, additional funds, scheduling home inspections or referrals to agencies or organizations who may be able to provide help that FEMA cannot. You can update your information through your account at DisasterAssistance.gov, on the FEMA app for your smartphone, or by calling
Satellite-Derived Shoreline Change Along Western Long Island, New York
The study found that the western ends of these beaches have been steadily growing, or accreting, at a rate of about 4 meters per year. This trend is attributed to net westward longshore drift, a process driven by ocean currents that move sediment along the coastline. Meanwhile, the central sections of the beaches, particularly areas with groin fields—structures designed to trap sand—showed slower rates of shoreline change, typically between 0.5 and 1.5 meters per year. One notable observation was the presence of so-called sediment waves, or patterns of erosion and accretion lasting several years, moving westward along the shoreline during the

Perspective: California’s Coastal Challenges Amid Climate Change
Maintaining coastal sustainability will require a unified, whole-of-society response. The report calls on research institutions, urban planners, policy makers, and community organizations to come together to address threats like habitat loss, saltwater intrusion, and risks to infrastructure. The authors hope to foster collaboration on innovative policies for coastal development, conservation strategies, and risk management. To ensure California’s coastal zones remain viable, the report encourages community-level action and policy reforms that address these challenges head-on. This includes expanding research into how ecosystems respond to stressors, identifying sustainable land-use practices, and implementing protective measures that build climate resilience. Although the challenges may

Intensified Coastal Hazards from Climate Change on U.S. Southeast Coast
While previous research has largely focused on flooding, the new study highlights additional threats such as groundwater hazards, land subsidence, and beach erosion. These hazards, often underappreciated in climate discussions, will be amplified by sea levels projected to rise by one meter over the next century. The study estimates that up to 70% of coastal residents and $1 trillion in property could face challenges from shallow and emerging groundwater. This risk is 15 times greater than the exposure to daily tidal flooding alone. Figure a, Coastal flooding (no storm), shallow groundwater exposure and erosion (unimpeded model case) for one meter
Coastal Change Hazards Team Forecasted and Measured Hurricane Helene Beach Impacts
The USGS Coastal Change Hazards Portal shows potential coastal change from Hurrricane Helene. Prior to landfall on the Florida coast on September 26, 2024, the Coastal Change Hazards Team predicted that 63 percent of beaches from Horn Island, MS to Marco Island, FL were very likely to erode at the dunes’ base, 50 percent of dunes were very likely to be overwashed by storm waves, and 32 percent of dunes were expected to be very likely to be inundated (completely submerged) by surge, tide, and waves given worst-case scenario surge and timing of the storm. In addition to special forecasts
Coastal Change Hazards Team Forecasted and Measured Hurricane Milton Beach Impacts
The USGS Coastal Change Hazards Portal shows potential coastal change from Hurrricane Milton. Prior to landfall on the Florida coast on October 9, 2024, the Coastal Change Hazards Team predicted that 86 percent of beaches along the west coast of the Florida peninsula were very likely to erode at the dunes’ base, 82 percent of dunes were very likely to be overwashed by storm waves, and 75 percent of dunes were expected to be very likely to be inundated (completely submerged) by surge, tide, and waves given worst-case scenario surge and timing of the storm. In addition to special forecasts
