Sea level rise increases coastal flooding in many areas of Canada. The Canadian Extreme Water Level Adaptation tool has been developed to accommodate sea level rise. The infrastructure needs to be built higher in order to reduce the risk of flooding. The vertical allowance is the recommended height that the infrastructure to be raised in future years relative to year 2010. The vertical allowance depends on (1) statistics of historical storm surge and tides, and (2) the best estimate and associated uncertainty of future sea level rise. The vertical allowance preserves the frequency of flooding events at some future time under uncertain sea level rise. Vertical allowances are provided for scenarios based on the fifth assessment report (AR5) of IPCC for the period of 2020-2100 and the sixth assessment report (AR6) of IPCC for the period of 2020-2150.
