Short summary
Findings from this study show that a huge number of new areas in coastal Bangladesh are going to face the impact of storm surge inundation as well as an increase in surge level due to the effect of sea level rise. These results are important for the local government to consider while they make new management and policy decisions so they can improve tropical preparedness plans by increasing the numbers of shelters and shelter heights.
