  abstract = {{T}ropical coral reef-lined coasts are exposed to storm wave-driven flooding. {I}n the future, flood events during storms are expected to occur more frequently and to be more severe due to sea-level rise, changes in wind and weather patterns, and the deterioration of coral reefs. {H}ence, disaster managers and coastal planners are in urgent need of decision-support tools. {I}n the short-term, these tools can be applied in {E}arly {W}arning {S}ystems ({EWS}) that can help to prepare for and respond to impending storm-driven flood events. {I}n the long-term, future scenarios of flooding events enable coastal communities and managers to plan and implement adequate risk-reduction strategies. {M}odeling tools that are used in currently available coastal flood {EWS} and future scenarios have been developed for open-coast sandy shorelines, which have only limited applicability for coral reef-lined shorelines. {T}he tools need to be able to predict local sea levels, offshore waves, as well as their nearshore transformation over the reefs, and translate this information to onshore flood levels. {I}n addition, future scenarios require long-term projections of coral reef growth, reef composition, and shoreline change. {T}o address these challenges, we have formed the {UFOR}i{C} ({U}nderstanding {F}looding of {R}eef-lined {C}oasts) working group that outlines its perspectives on data and model requirements to develop {EWS} for storms and scenarios specific to coral reef-lined coastlines. {I}t reviews the state-of-the-art methods that can currently be incorporated in such systems and provides an outlook on future improvements as new data sources and enhanced methods become available.},
