About Coastal Risk
Proven Experience
Coastal Risk is the first, and only, company with a proven track record of professional-grade flood, natural hazard and climate risk analysis at an individual property level
Coastal or inland, business, governmental, or residential, even multiple locations or entire neighborhoods – our proprietary technology assesses your vulnerability to risk. We provide solutions to prevent and protect against damage and loss, and guidance to potentially reduce your insurance premiums.
Coastal Risk’s analysis of a property’s vulnerability to extreme weather includes coastal storm surge and tidal flooding, heavy rainfall, river (fluvial) flooding, hurricanes, tropical storms, sea level rise impacts and climate change impacts. For properties at risk, we recommend solutions and referrals to our strategic environmental and engineering partners.
We serve business, industrial, and residential customers, property developers, real estate investors and asset managers, insurers and lenders, communities, real estate brokers, healthcare facilities, power plants and refineries, critical infrastructure, military installations, and government agencies.

Knowing the Science is Important.
Knowing the Client is more Important
What’s more difficult is figuring out what to do next
There’s a lot of good science out there to help individuals, corporations and governments make their critical assets safer and more resilient to floods, natural hazards, and climate change impacts. Most asset owners don’t even use the science that’s available to determine if risk mitigation investments are cost-beneficial, however. Why? Because making up a table of “bad news” datapoints is fairly simple.
That’s where the consultant needs to know more than the science; they need to know the client. That’s where the RiskFootprint™ suite of products and services comes in. Our six-step, B-Resilient™ process begins with a qualitative assessment of the physical asset portfolio for 13-columns of risks, plus individual property, aggregate risk scores. Then, we work with the client to examine the higher risk, “red zone” properties more closely with property-level, quantitative risk assessments.
Some clients want to go farther and determine the capex needed to address the risks identified and perform a cost-benefit analysis for risk mitigation investments. Then, some clients will want to go on to design and implement risk mitigation features, which may include: elevating structures and equipment, dry floodproofing buildings, upsizing roof drains, replacing end-of-life AC chillers with more efficient systems, storm sewer improvements, and blue and green infrastructure, such as permeable pavements and bio-swales.
We have the best science. We know our clients and their needs.
We help our clients decide: “What to do next!”
