Climate change may affect the frequency, intensity, and geographic distribution of severe coastal storms. Concurrent sea-level
rise would raise the baseline of flooding during such events. Meanwhile, social vulnerability factors such as poverty and
disability hinder the ability to cope with storms and storm damage. While physical changes are likely to remain scientifically
uncertain into the foreseeable future, the ability to mitigate potential impacts from coastal flooding may be fostered by
better understanding the interplay of social and physical factors that produce human vulnerability. This study does so by
integrating the classic causal model of hazards with social, environmental, and spatial dynamics that lead to the differential
ability of people to cope with hazards. It uses Census data, factor analysis, data envelopment analysis, and floodplain maps
to understand the compound social and physical vulnerability of coastal residents in the city of Revere, MA, USA.
