Figure 2

Map of highest storm-driven flood impact category in 63 Alaska coastal communities for flood events from 1887 to 2022. Categories are major (purple square), moderate (orange triangle pointed up), minor (yellow triangle pointed down), and no known flooding (white circle). Communities not assessed are black dots. The road system (red) does not reach any of these remote locations. Forty-six of these communities (listed in Table 1) also have elevation models and record flood descriptions that allowed us to conduct a flood exposure analysis.
