The municipality of Kalundborg has approximately 12,000 residents and is situated on the western corner shoreline of Zealand, Denmark. While municipalities on the west coast of Jutland are used to dealing with storm surges from the North Sea, this and other coastal areas have previously been better protected from surges and have dealt with them less frequently.
