~ Boston has 47 miles of coastline and is among the U.S. cities most vulnerable to flooding, according to the city. Since 1991, severe storms have led to 24 disaster declarations, 14 involving major flooding.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates severe flooding could threaten 20,000 buildings, 44% of Boston residents and all four MBTA transit lines within the lifetime of today's children. The city says potential damages could reach $54 billion by the end of the century if no action is taken.
