Flood Map: Water Level Elevation Map
www.floodmap.net
Flood Map shows the map of the area which could get flooded if the water level rises to a particular elevation. It may help flood risk assessment or flood management. Sea level rise map. Bathymetric map, ocean depth.

According to this commentary on the science page when the water levels catch up to the predicted temperature levels we're heading towards we may be seeing like 25 feet of water submerging a lot of the coasts of the world.

Good news is my place where I'm living is going to be fine.

    Just FYI for people who didn't notice, the map defaults to 400 meters of sea level rise, so don't freak out too much when you open it up and see half the world under water lol.

    That said, 25 meters of sea level rise is still pretty significant. Using the USA as an example, roughly half of both Louisiana and Florida would be under water at 25 meters of rise, and major US cities such as Houston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco are going to be partially/fully underwater.

    TL:DR: Make sure you're actually set to 25 meters of rise before thinking you're going to be living underwater, 'cause you should only be underwater if you're in a coastal area/low lying area near the coast.
