Case context
Engineer A identified a foreseeable storm surge risk to future residents of Client A's coastal residential development and must notify Client A in writing as a faithful agent.
Compliance status
unclear
Confidence
0.89
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A is obligated to advise Client A in writing that building the residential development below the 100-year storm surge elevation creates material public safety risks — including the specific nature of those risks and the professional basis for the recommendation — so that Client A has clear documented notice of the engineer's professional judgment and the consequences of proceeding at a lower elevation.
Temporal scope
Upon completion of the risk assessment and before any design proceeds at a lower elevation
