Coastal flooding is an ever-growing threat, impacting millions of people worldwide each year. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and storm surges put homes, businesses, and infrastructure at risk. The consequences can be devastating—causing billions of dollars in damages, displacing communities, and leading to long-term environmental concerns.
While we can’t control the forces of nature, we can take proactive steps to safeguard our properties. One of the most effective flood mitigation tools available today is Tiger Dam®, a reusable, environmentally friendly flood control system that provides superior protection against rising waters.
What Causes Coastal Flooding?
Coastal flooding occurs when seawater inundates normally dry land. This can happen due to:
- Storm Surges – Powerful hurricanes and tropical storms push seawater inland, overwhelming coastal defenses.
- High Tides & King Tides – Exceptionally high tides, often driven by the lunar cycle, can lead to coastal flooding even on sunny days.
- Sea Level Rise – Climate change has caused global sea levels to rise, increasing the frequency and severity of flooding.
- Heavy Rainfall & River Overflow – Coastal areas often experience a combination of heavy rainfall and storm surge, which exacerbates flooding.
The Devastating Impact of Coastal Flooding
The destruction caused by coastal flooding is widespread:
- Structural Damage – Homes, roads, and businesses can suffer from water intrusion, erosion, and foundation instability.
- Economic Losses – Coastal communities rely heavily on tourism, fishing, and shipping—industries that can be crippled by flooding.
- Environmental Degradation – Saltwater intrusion can destroy crops, contaminate drinking water, and harm local ecosystems.
- Displacement & Safety Concerns – Flooded areas may force mass evacuations, leaving families without homes and resources.
