Where can I learn about the coastal hazards of a property?
Request a free Coastal Hazard Assessment (CHA). A CHA is a summary of potential erosion and flood hazards associated with a coastal property. The CHA is intended to provide guidance for current and prospective property owners and renters who want to be aware of the potential impacts of coastal hazards as they buy, sell, develop, rent, and/or maintain a given property.
