San Francisco Public Press, with support from the Fund, found that officials have significantly underestimated the risk of flooding on Treasure Island, which is likely getting worse. Treasure Island sits in the middle of San Francisco Bay and is the focus of a $6 billion development, expected to be occupied by more than 20,000 people.

The story was co-published by Inside Climate News.
