A new study shows coastal communities facing increasing flood risk due to rising sea levels and more extreme weather events. Researchers warn that insufficient infrastructure and planning could lead to costly damage and displacement unless adaptive measures are implemented.

Meanwhile, communities are mobilizing at the local level with volunteer brigades and emergency drills to strengthen preparedness. Officials urge residents to review evacuation routes, stock emergency supplies, and stay informed through official alerts.
