Description:Flood exposure is increasing in coastal communities due to rising sea levels. Understanding the effects of sea level rise (SLR) on frequency and consequences of coastal flooding and subsequent social and economic impacts is of utmost importance for policymakers to implement effective adaptationstrategies. Effective strategies may consider impacts from cumulative losses from minor flooding as well as acute losses from major events. In the present study, a statistically coherent Mixture Normal ‐Generalized Pareto Distribution model was developed, which reconciles the probabilistic characteristics of the upper tail as well as the bulk of the sea level data. The nonstationary sea level condition was incorporated in the mixture model using Quantile Regression method to characterize variable
