Downloading and Viewing a Scenario

Download the scenario(s) of your choosing from one of the town Sea Level Rise pages.  If you would prefer to download all the scenarios for a town at once, choose to download the 'complete scenariors' zip file located on each town scenarios page.  

To open a scenario in Arc Explorer, Choose 'Add Content' ---> select 'KML Files' from the dropdown menu ---> select 'KML Files' again from the navigation menu.  From there, choose the scenario you wish to open.  You can open multiple scenarios at once by selecting more than one.  

Turn scenarios and layers on and off by selecting and deselecting the corresponding check box.  

Please refer to the legend for further details regarding scenario display.
