To the Editor:

The  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s recent report titled “The State of High Tide Flooding in 2019 and the Outlook through April 2021” states that coastal communities across the U.S. continued to see record-setting high-tide flooding (nuisance flooding) in 2019 and warns that the national high tide flood frequency through May 2021 is expected to accelerate.

Communities along the Northeast and western Gulf coasts will see higher flood levels.
