[Articles] Projections of future mortality risk in older adults from high-tide flooding in coastal areas of the USA: an economic modelling study

The cost of premature mortality in older adults is greater in magnitude than other modelled effects of climate-induced high-tide flooding (eg, value of lost time due to traffic delays). Results suggest further action is needed to (1) identify and protect components of road networks critical for emergency access, (2) build additional, more accessible critical care delivery facilities, and (3) manage the retreat of vulnerable populations to areas with better access to critical care facilities.
