Unified: Coastal Hazards Information Platform (CHIP) App
The PEI Coastal Hazards Information Platform (CHIP) is an interactive map that you can browse to visualize the coastal hazards that affect PEI’s communities and properties. The map allows users to explore what areas are at risk of coastal flooding caused by combinations of sea level rise, tides, and storm surge over time. The map also provides information about how the coastline has changed over the past 50 years due to erosion.
The PEI Coastal Hazards Information Platform (CHIP) is to be used in conjunction with the Coastal Hazard Assessment.A Coastal Hazard Assessment (CHA) is intended as a guidance document for current and prospective property owners. The CHA provides you with information about the potential hazards associated with impacts of erosion and flooding along the coast, which can be used to guide decisions prior to purchasing or developing a coastal property. Coastal hazards are expected to worsen over time. Careful consideration should be given regarding any coastal property’s suitability for long-term development. If you are planning to purchase a coastal property, you are encouraged to inform yourself about previous occurrences of flooding and to check with your insurance agency about potential coverage. If you are planning to develop or subdivide a coastal property, you are encouraged to consult a design professional.
This CHA is based on interpretation of remotely-sensed data and climate modeling, and is not informed by a site visit to the property in question. The CHA provides information about the potential for impacts caused by coastal erosion and/or coastal flooding due to climate change. Damage to property assets, including but not limited to building structures and on-site services, are beyond the scope of this assessment. The CHA should not be considered to be a definitive statement as to where and when future damage may occur. It is strongly recommended that property owners engage a qualified professional regarding the design and location of any coastal development. The projected lifespan of your development, value of a structure, and your individual risk tolerance, should be considered when making decisions about the development of a coastal property.
