Rhode Island's 420-mile coastline and position at the head of Narragansett Bay make coastal storm surge one of the biggest water damage risks around Mapleville - hurricanes and nor'easters have produced storm tides of 12 to 18 feet in the state's history, and sea level rise means even moderate storms now flood areas that never used to see water. Urban and river flooding add a second risk, since heavy rain can overwhelm drainage and cause local rivers to overflow with little warning.
