See full Data Guide here. Worst case Hurricane Surge Inundation areas for category 1 through 4 hurricanes striking the coast of Connecticut. Hurricane surge values were developed by the National Hurricane Center using the SLOSH (Sea Lake and Overland Surge from Hurricanes) Model. This Surge Inundation layer was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District. Using ArcInfo's Grid extension, LiDAR bare earth elevation data from both the State of Connecticut and FEMA was subtracted from the worst-case hurricane surge values to determine which areas could be expected to be inundated.
OEM partners with Miami-Dade County Public Schools and the American Red Cross (ARC) to operate Evacuation Centers (EC). These ECs provide refuges of last resort for those individuals who need to evacuate and are unable to make their own evacuation and sheltering arrangements, such as with friends, family, or in hotels outside of the evacuation zones. During evacuations, Miami-Dade County also offers Pet Friendly Evacuation Centers for residents living in evacuation areas, unsafe structures or mobile homes. A family member must stay with the pet. For more information, call 311 or visit Animal Services Department's page on disaster preparedness for pets.
Evacuation areas based upon worst case hurricane surge scenarios for category 1 through 4 hurricanes striking the coast of Rhode Island. Hurricane surge values were developed by the National Hurricane Center using the SLOSH (Sea Lake and Overland Surge from Hurricanes) Model. This Surge Inundation layer was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District. Using ArcInfo's Grid extension, bare earth elevation data from several sources was subtracted from the worst-case hurricane surge values to determine which areas could be expected to be inundated. This layer was developed to assist emergency management officials in hurricane preparedness and operations. This statewide dataset compiled from county-based datasets originally developed and published by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

StoryMap created in 2021 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the flooding from Tropical Storm Lee in the Mid-Atlantic United States. Includes maps of antecedent conditions, rainfall, and flood areas. Interviews from several National Weather Service and other partners are included.
Use the NYC Hurricane Evacuation Zone Finder to find out if your address is in a hurricane evacuation zone. The best way to be prepared for the possibility of a hurricane evacuation is to know your evacuation zone, and plan your destination and travel routes ahead of time. Zones are color-coded and labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 when represented on a map.Information on evacuation centers is subject to change. Please revisit this site for updated reports on building status and wheelchair accessibility features.Find out more about the zones and preparing for a coastal storm: NYC Hazards - Coastal Storms & Hurricanes
This story map shows a statewide view of evacuation routes as well as regional views. Each tab highlights a coastal region and gives more detailed evacuation information. Pins in the regional views have general directions for Hurricane Routes. For more information on evacuation routes, see the SCDOT Storm Resources page.
The Miami-Dade County storm surge planning zones are drawn using Sea, Lake and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model grids that incorporate local physical features such as geographic coastal area, bay and river shapes, water depths, bridges, etc. Areas in Miami-Dade along canals, rivers and further inland have been identified as being at risk for storm surge based on this data. The Miami-Dade County storm surge planning zones are drawn using Sea, Lake and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model grids that incorporate local physical features such as geographic coastal area, bay and river shapes, water depths, bridges, etc.Areas in Miami-Dade along canals, rivers and further inland have been identified as being at risk for storm surge based on this data. Each zone or portions will be evacuated depending on the hurricane’s track and projected storm surge, independent of the hurricane’s category.Upon identification of a threat the EOC or County Mayor will use local media to relay pertinent information, such as evacuations and shelter openings. It is important that you monitor the news for this information. Remember that these planning deal strictly with storm surge; you still need to determine if your home is safe to remain in during a hurricane.
Vector point data representing Rhode Island storm surge heights resulting from Superstorm Sandy in October of 2012. This information provides insight into the extent of surge height during the storm, and may be useful in predicting how similar storms will affect the Rhode Island coastline during future storm events. These data may also be used as a comparison tool in conjunction with tidal data such as Mean High High Water (MHHW). Represent locations of the inland storm surge extents during the duration of Superstorm Sandy in Rhode Island over October 29th and 30th 2012.
The University of Miami Coupled Model (UMCM) is a coupled model that integrates atmospheric, wave, and ocean components to produce wind, wave, and current data. Atmospheric data is produced using the [Weather Research and Forecasting model](https://www.mmm.ucar.edu/weather-research-and-forecasting-model) (WRF), Wave data is produced using the [University of Miami Wave Model](https://umwm.org/) (UMWM), While ocean current data is produced using the [HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model](https://www.hycom.org/) (HYCOM). The time resolution for each model run is as follows: Hurricane Ike -> 1 sample/hour from 9/8/2008 12:00:00 UTC to 9/12/2008 6:00:00 UTC -> 1 sample/10 minutes from 9/12/2008 6:00:00 UTC to 9/13/2008 9:00:00 UTC Hurricane Sandy -> 1 sample/10 minutes from 10/28/2012 00:10:00 UTC to 10/31/2012 00:00:00 UTC
