Coastal Inundation - National Oceanic and Atmospheric …
Coastal Inundation. Our nation’s coasts are increasingly at risk from rising seas, changing water levels in the Great Lakes, and more frequent and intense storms. These changes are forcing communities to plan for and adapt to coastal flooding using time scales associated with both weather (hourly, daily, and weekly) and climate (seasonally ...
Coastal Flood Exposure Mapper - National Oceanic and …
Oct 31, 2024 · The purpose of this mapping application is to provide a preliminary look at exposure to common types of coastal flooding. The viewer is a screening-level tool that uses nationally consistent data sets and analyses and should be used as such. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help gauge impacts and prioritize actions, but ...
Coastal Flood Exposure Mapper - National Oceanic and …
The tool creates a collection of user-defined maps that show the people, places, and natural resources exposed to coastal flooding. The maps can be saved, downloaded, or shared to communicate flood exposure and potential impacts. In addition, the tool provides guidance for using these maps to engage community members and stakeholders.
Sea Level Rise Viewer - National Oceanic and Atmospheric …
Use this web mapping tool to visualize community-level impacts from coastal flooding or sea level rise (up to 10 feet above average high tides). Photo simulations of how future flooding might impact local landmarks are also provided, as well as data related to water depth, connectivity, flood frequency, socio-economic vulnerability, wetland ...
Understanding Stormwater Inundation - National Oceanic and …
Coastal flooding occurs in areas directly adjacent to coastal waters. There are several distinct causes: High-tide flooding occurs in low-lying coastal areas during extreme high tides (also known as perigean or king tides). These tides occur a few times per year when the sun, moon, and earth align. By definition, a coastal storm is not ...
NOAA Office for Coastal Management
NOAA's Office for Coastal Management provides the technology, information, and management strategies used by local, state, and national organizations to address complex coastal issues. ... The latest, easy-to-use statistics for all things coastal—demographics, economics, storm damages, high tide flooding rates, and more. Fast Facts 40. of the ...
Adapting Stormwater Management for Coastal Floods
The Adapting Stormwater Management for Coastal Floods application is meant to give the user a general “first look” at potential coastal inundation impacts within the user’s selected geographic area of interest. Users are advised to exercise due diligence and independently confirm the accuracy and currentness of the information provided by ...
High Tide Flooding - National Oceanic and Atmospheric …
By 2030, high tide flooding is likely to be about two to three times greater (seven to 15 days). Frequent high tide flooding will continue to accelerate—with major impacts to infrastructure and the economy—unless coastal flood mitigation strategies are implemented or enhanced.
Coastal Inundation Dashboard - National Oceanic and …
Coastal decision makers can use this information to understand and prepare for the effects of coastal flooding and gain a better understanding of the increased frequency of flooding as sea levels change. Features. Access real-time water levels, 48-hour forecasts of water levels for select regions, and historical flooding information at a ...
