48 x 41 inches
The Flood Map from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for a part of Palm Beach County, FL, shows the areas that they figure will have an annual 1% chance of flooding, or once in every 100 years. This determination is now suspect given the effects of climate change.

For those with low vision:
This is a semi-transparent map hanging from the ceiling that shows in bright colors the predicted flooding from the climate breakdown in a part of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach, Florida. It is a straight plane of fabric, weighted with thin strips of plexiglas top and bottom. The ocean and bay are painted in cobalt blue and the land area to be flooded in a cyan blue, with border areas in bright yellow orange. The map includes the arial photo, and it's colors are pale grey with pale yellow green and pale sap green.
