NEWS BRIEFS: ‘Charleston is in trouble’ on flooding, report says

Staff reports | An annual federal flooding report found Charleston’s high tide flooding is increasing at an alarming rate. 

“The report is very clear: Charleston is in trouble,” Coastal Conservation League’s Betsy La Force told sister publication Statehouse Report. “If we look at the data and continue to ignore it the issue will only get worse. It’s scientific. It’s not political. It proves to the public and political leaders that climate change impacts are happening now … We have to be realistic and plan accordingly.”
