The Bay Area is actively preparing for the increasing threat of sea level rise driven by climate change. Cities such as San Francisco, East Palo Alto, and San Rafael are particularly vulnerable to rising Pacific Ocean levels, which are predicted to increase by one foot by 2025 and three feet by 2100 due to accumulating greenhouse gases and oceanic thermal expansion. Low-lying areas, especially those built on former wetlands, face a heightened risk of flooding, prompting local governments to implement proactive measures.
