Connecticut has launched a public climate-risk mapping tool designed to provide residents with detailed assessments of their exposure to flooding and other climate-related hazards. The initiative was spurred by significant flooding events in western Connecticut in 2024, which revealed inaccuracies in existing flood maps and underscored the need for more reliable risk information. Accessible through the Connecticut Insurance Department's website, the tool leverages private risk-modeling data akin to that used by insurance companies, offering comprehensive insights into potential risks such as sea-level rise and extreme heat.
