The study found four places in the Bay Area that are sinking the fastest: San Rafael, Corte Madera and Foster City, along with Bay Farm Island in Alameda, which is located next to Oakland International Airport. The land in those areas is subsiding at a rate of more than 0.4 of an inch per year.
Adaptation: Coastal residents can prepare for future impacts by making their homes more resilient, including installing efficient drainage systems; elevating or flood-proofing homes or HVAC elements; using nature-based solutions to reduce runoff and local flooding; or even relocating if you live in a highly vulnerable
As sea levels rise, we can expect Californias coastal flooding to occur more frequently, to last longer, and to extend farther inland. Eventually, some areas will flood permanently. The most severe and damaging flooding is expected to occur during storms or large swell events.
The San Francisco Bay Area stands to be one of the hardest hit regions in the nation from rising sea level, with over 8 million residents, 9 counties, 101 cities, and vital infrastructure, communities, ecosystems, and businessesall clustered around a single bay.
A recent NASA study found that San Rafael, Corte Madera, Foster City, and Bay Farm Island, located within Oakland and Alameda, are sinking at a concerning rate. Those locations are sinking at a steady rate of more than 0.4 inches a year. By 2050, California sea levels are expected to increase between 6 and 14.5 inches.

Parts of San Francisco and Los Angeles are sinking into the sea meaning sea-level rise will be even worse. A study led by NASA and NOAA has found that California is sinking in some areas, which means the projected sea level rise for parts of Los Angeles and San Francisco has doubled.
Sea Level Rise and Flooding in the Bay Area Homes that dont flood today may experience regular flooding from rising seas, rising groundwater, and more extreme storms in the future (as illustrated below).
