The Low Down on Sea Levels

No need to read this if you are located in Wenzhuan, China, which was founded in 1955 on the Qinghai-Tibet road north of the Tangla mountain range. According to The Guinness Book of World Records, it is the highest town in the world, at 16,730 feet above sea level. But if your company is located somewhere else, especially near a coastline, which offices or facilities could be under water when sea levels rise? And does your business continuity plan include flooding, even though you’re not in a flood plain?

Flood maps by U.K. programmer Alex Tingle lets you model inundation levels anywhere in the world, instantly, in Google Maps^™ mapping service. Choose a sea level up to 53 feet above current levels to see if your security plan needs to include flood preparation and insurance. There are specific links for regions around the world. Some inland areas show up being inundated even though they’re nowhere near a coast, because they’re below sea level.
