US Geological Survey: US Geological SurvReal-time flooding and storm surge information is available as Tropical Storm Hanna approaches the east coast by visiting the interactive US Geological Survey (USGS) Water Hazards Map.
The map provides immediate flooding and storm surge data from real-time streamgages in the affected area, which is imperative to local, State and Federal officials in order to forecast floods and coordinate flood-response activities in the affected area.
"These coordinated actions will ensure timely and uninterrupted water information for forecasters, emergency managers, scientists and the general public," says Matthew Larsen, USGS Associate Director for Water. "Improved flood monitoring and assessment will help reduce the risks to coastal communities, property and human life."
