In addition to providing data for environmental adaptation, the results of this study can benefit policymakers in the transportation, infrastructure, drinking water, and electrical utility sectors through: 1. Identification and characterization of the effect of increased sea-level on tidal flooding of roads and critical infrastructure. This information has been output by SLAMM and can be leveraged by CT DOT as well as other agencies. 2. Assessment of the combined effects of storm surge and SLR on infrastructure. Infrastructure risk was investigated given these additive effects. 3. Information sharing. Results and data are available to be shared with those most likely to use it to develop plans at the local, regional and state-wide level in a way that clearly and readily transfers the information to key tidal marsh and infrastructure managers.
