AUTHORITIES ARE CONFIRMING MOREN 85 FATALITIES IN FLORIDA AND ATT FOUR MORE IN CAROLINA WHERE HURRICANE IAN MADE LANDFALL AFTER STRIKING THE COAST OF SOUH CAROLINA FRIDAY.

THE CATEGORY 4 4 STORM IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST QUITE WIND SPEED TO EVER HIT THE HIT THE U.S. IS MENTORED HOMES, HURTLED LARGE BOATS INTO BUILDIS INTO BUILDINGS, AND WASHED AWAY BRIDGES AND LEFT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER.

THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS PRESIDENT JOE N THIS WEEK WILL TRAVEL TO AREAS THAT WAS STATED BY HURRICANES IAN AND FIONA, INCLUDING PUERTO RICO, WHERE RECOVERY IS EXPECTED TO BE LONG AND PAINFULE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR JIM MURPHY SAID SPIES WERE PULLED BACK TO SENT 135 OF THE NEW JERSEY NATIONAL GUARD TO HELP IN THE EFFORT AFTER FLORIDA OFFICIALS TOLD GOVERNOR JIM MURPHY THEY WERE GRATEFUL FOR THE HELP BUT T WAS NOT LEADER.

IT IS UNCLEAR WY THE ASSISTANT WAS CALLED OFF WHEN THE STATE IS STILL IN THE THICK OF RECOVERY.

THE STORM IS ALSO BEING FELT HERE IN YOUR JEY YOUR JERSEY.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS PARTS OF TE JERSEY SHORE COULD SEE UP TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL TODAY.

ALONGH COASTAL FLOODING AND WIND GUSTS UP TO 45 MILES PER HOUR.

> >> NEW JERSEY'S HER LINE HAS A LOT AT STAKE AS FUNDING BECOMESE COMMON, DUE TO INTENSE RAINFALL AND RISING SEA LEVELS CAUSED BYE CHANGE.

A LARGE PORTION OF THE STATE'S HOSPITALS ARE LOCATED WN LOCATED WITHIN MILES OF THE COAT THE COAST.

ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY, THEY HAVE ABOUT A 22% GREATER RISK OF FLOODING.

THE STUDY PUBLISHED BY BOTH HARVARD AND BOSTON UNIVERSITY FINDS HUNDREDS OF HOSPITALS ALONG THEC AND GULF COASTS ARE AT RISK OF LETTING FROM HURRICANES AND LOWER CATEGORIES TOWARDS.

RESEAS TOWARDS.

RESEARCHERS LOOKED AT DOZENS OF METROPOLITAN AREAS AND AREAS AND FOUND 25 HAVE HALF OR MORE OF THEIR HOSPITALS AT THIS RISK LEVEL, INCLUDING OURS.

THAT THAT MADE THE TOP 10.

DR. ARON BERNSTEIN IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE THE CENTER FOR CLIMATE AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY AND JOINS ME TO TALK ABOUT HIS FINDINGS.

>> DR. BERNSTEIN, YOUR WORK IS .

IN ALL OF OUR TALK ABOUT HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS, CLIMATE CHANGE AND EFFECTS ON IT, SO LITTLE HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT THE IMPACT ON OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS.

WHAT DID YOUR REPORT FIND IN TERMS OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE PREPARED?

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

WHAT WE FOUND IS HOSPITALS THAT SERVE ALMOST ONE IN FOUR PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES ALONG THE ATLANTIC WORK OF GULF COASTS CAE PUT AT RISK BY RELATIVELY WEAK S WEAK HURRICANES, CATEGORY 2.

AND THERE IS A WIDE VARIATION IN WHAT A HURRICANE STRIKE MEANS TE METRO AREAS ALONG THE COAST.

SOME OF THEM START OFF WITH FEWER BEDS AVAILABLE FOR THE POPULATION TO SERVE.

IN OUR STU, WE FOUND THAT YOUR METRO AREA WS THE SECOND MOST HONORABLE IS INCLUDES THE NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY CITIES METRO AREA.

THEREE SO MANY PEOPLE IN COMPARISON TO THE NUMBER OF BIDS.

AND THE HOSPITALS THAT SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY ARE RELATIVELY EXPOSED EXPOSED TO HURRICANES.

>> TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT YOU FOD IN YOUR REPORT.

NOT JUST THE DIRECT HIT FROM A HURRICANE, BUT BUT AREAS SURROUNDING THESE HOSPITALS, FLOODED ROADS, WITHIN A PROXIMITY.

>> YES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER, EVEN THOUGH MANY INVESTMENTS AFTER HURRICANE SANDY HELPED HARDEN HOSPITAL STRUCTURE.

PARTICULARLY IN BIG .

IT DOES NOT HELP THE PEOPLE AND RESOURCES CANNOT GET THERE.

WE HAVE LEARNED FROM SANDY AND OTHR STORMS THAT A MAJOR PROBLEM IN DELIVERING HEALTHCARE IN A MOMENT WHEN PEOPLE NEED IT MOST, THE ROADS ARE LOADED.

WE TOOK ANOTHER LOOK AT NOT JUST WHETHER WHETHER A HOSPITAL IS FLOODED, OR THE ROADS THAT GO TO THAT HOL THAT HOSPITAL MAY BE LOADED.

AGAIN, NEW YORK AND THE METRO AA METRO AREA CONSIST WITHIN THE PERCENTAGE OF HOSPITALS AT RISK, AT RISK, THERE IS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF ROADWAYS THAT SERE THAT SERVE THE HOSPITAL.

>> WHAT, IF ANY, EMPHASIS HAVE THE HOSPITALS PUT ON BEING ABLE TO T TO ACT AND REACT IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS?

>> SUCH AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

K WHAT WE SEE IS A GRADIENT BASED ON EXPERIENCE.

WHEN YOU GO TO PLACES LIKE FLORIDA AND THE FT. MYERS AREA, OR HOUSTON TEXAS THAT DEALT WITH HARVEY, YOU SEEY SEE RELATIVELY COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEMS TO GET AHEAD OF THE CURE HERE.

EVEN WITH THOSE, AS WE SEE SEE IN FT. MYERS, WHEN YOU ARE T BY A CATEGORY 3 OF 4 TIME, IN PLACES THAT IS SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON INFRASTRUCTURE AND SYS, YOU STILL WIND UP WITH REALLY NAIL-BITING CHALLENGES.

PLACES LIKE YOUR METRO AREA AND BOSTON, BOSTON, THEY HAVE LESS EXPERIENCE.

AND EVEN WITH SYSTEMS IN PLACE, WE MAY HAVE HD DRILLS, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED.

WE HAVE NOT DEALT APPEAH THE REAL THING.

THE SIGNS COULD NOT BE MORE CLEAR THAT CLIENT CE IS MAKING HURRICANES DRUNKER.

THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE THAT HURRICANE TRACKS ARE MOVING UP E ATLANTIC COAST, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH OCEAN MARK.

PLACES LIKE WHERE YOU ARE AND WHERE I AM, THE ODDS OF BEING STRUCK BY A POWERFUL HURRICANE ARE GROWING OVER TIME.

IT BELIEVES IS TO PAY ATTENTION.

>> >> IT DOES.

DR. AARON BERNSTEIN, BERNSTEIN, THANKS FOR SHARING YR INSIGHT WITH US.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

> >> FOR ANYONE WHO BELIEVES CLIME CHANGE IS A THREAT FOR ONLY COAL TOWNS, EXPERTS SAY, THINK AGAI.

THIS DISPLAY OF THE OCEAN'S POWER TO OBLITERE TO OBLITERATE NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE LIKE SANIBEL ISLAND IN A SINGLEM SINGLE STORM DISTRACTS MANY PEOPLE FROM ANOTHER, OR WIDESPREAD THREAT, THE INEXORABLE POWER OF RAPIDLY RISING SEA LEVELS.

A NEW STUDY PREDICTS THAT BY 2050, THE JERSEY COAST COULD SEE MORE THA0 SQUARE MILES GO UNDERWATER AT HEIGHT HEIGHT, REGULARLY SUBMERGING SOME 6000 BUILDINGS.

>> WE THINK OF FLOODS AS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AROUND A.

THE WATER GOES AWAY.

THEN THEY HAVE A MESS TO CLEAN UP, ET CETERA.

OR WHAT WE TALK ABOUT HERE, THE WATER COMES IN AND ST. AND STAYS.

SEA LEVEL RISE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS GOING TO CONTINUE FOR HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.E THE SEA IS IN MOTION, WE HAVE TO TO CHANGE THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT ABOUT IT.

>> Reporter: BECAUSE JERSEY HAS DEVELOPED IN DIFFERENT WAYS, HIS DIFFERENT RISKS AND DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS, ALONG THE HUDSON RIVER COUNTIES, WHERE THERE COUD BE MORE THAN 6800 LAND PARCELS GOING UNDERWATER, SINKING PROPERTIES VALUED AT $2.5 MILLION FOR TAX PURPOSES.

IN HU, IN HUDSON, 4000 AND PARCELS VALD AT ALMOST $1.5 BILLION BY 2050.

>> IT DOES NOT SHOCK ME.

IT SCARES ME.

>> Reporter: HE HAS READ THE CLIMATE CENTRAL REPORT.

THE COMR THE COMMISSIONER IS WORRIED ABOUT SHIELDING VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES LIKE COUNTRY VILLAGE VILLAGE AND SOCIETY HILL IN JERSEY CITY.

IT IS AE AN UPSCALE VERSION OF REBUILD BY BY DESIGN.

HOBUCKEN PROPOSED A N A SOLUTION OF CATCH BASINS, LEVEES, AND A MOVABLE SEAGATE TO PROTECT VULNERABLE NEVER HURTS.

>> THE COMPREHENSIVE MEASURE OF, OF PROTECTION, AC IMPACTS BECAUSE OF THE INVESTMENTS WE M. WE MADE.

>> YOU CANNOT STOP THE WATER FROM COMING IN COMPLETELY.

EACH COMMUNITY CANNOT BE ITS OWN ISLAND.

>> Reporter: THE NEW JERSEY SEE COMPS ARE SOME SAYS NEW INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONCEPTS OF REPAIR COST MILLIONS, BILLIONS.

HE THINKS THAT INSTEAD OF GETTIG FLOODED OUT, SOME RESIDENTS INSTEAD WILL GET PRICED OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND AS SEA LEVELS KEEP RISING -- >> AT WHAT POINT DOES THE REAL E MARKET TIP THE OTHER WAY?

HOMEOWNERS WILL INVEST IN PROPERTIES THAT WILL NOT BE FLOODED FOR EQUALLY.

>> Reporter: >> Reporter: COUNTIES LIKE HUDSON MUST DEFEND DENSELY POPUD AREAS AGAINST RISING SEAS.

IT IS IT IS A DIFFERENT PICTURE ON THE THE SHORT NEAR VULNERABLE BARRIR ISLANDS.

>> TOWNS HAVE TO MAKE CHOICES.

>> Reporter: THE NEW JERSEY TEACHERS LEADER SAYS LOTS OF SMALL TOWNS THAT DOT THE COASTLINE RELY HEAVILY ON PROPERTY TAXES.

THE CLIMATE CENL STUDY SHOWS OSHA COULD SEE MORE THAN 66,000 LAND PARCELS IN A , , $10 MILLION IN TAX RATE.

THED LOSE ALMOST 45,000 LAND PARCELS WERE SOME SEVEN ALIEN DOLLARS BY BY 2050.

>> AS THEY LOSE LAND AND PROPERTY TAX RATE DOUBLES, THEY HAVE TO RAISE THE TAXES FOR THE REMAINING OWNERS, WHICH HAS SERIOUS EQUITY ISSUES AND FINANCIAL ISSUES.

THEY WILL HAVO HAVE TO IDENTIFY LESS RISKY ARES IN THEIR COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE CAN MIGRATE TO.

>> NO EASY ANSWER FOR ALL OF TH.

OF THIS.

IT IS HARD TO SAY, WE SHOULD RETRENCH, MOVE EVERYBODYE MILES INLAND.

THAT IS REALLY NON AMERICAN TRADITION, FORCING PEOPLE TO MOVE.

WE DO IT IN FLO.

>> Reporter: THIS POLITICAL ANALYST SAYS NEW JERSEY CREATED THE BLUE ACRES HOMES BUYOUT AFTER SUPERSTORM SANDY DESTROYED SANDY DESTROYED SO MANY HOMES IN IN THE FLOOD-PRONE AREAS.
