Foster City is more prepared than most areas. They already have a 4-foot seawall and are building it higher.

The report predicts a "baked in" sea level rise of 1.5 feet by 2045, resulting in king tide conditions.

More than 20,000 homes in California are at risk due to rising sea levels. Nationwide, about 311,000 homes are at risk.

The report was put together by the Union of Concerned Scientists.
