Flood and storm tide hazard reports:
Are documents that provide information about the potential for flooding and storm tides in a specific area. These reports are often produced by government agencies, such as the National Weather Service, or by private consulting firms that specialize in flood and storm hazard assessment.
Flood hazard reports typically include information about the history of flooding in an area, the likelihood of future flooding events, and the potential impacts of such events. They may also include maps showing the extent of flood-prone areas and the elevation of these areas relative to the surrounding land.
Storm tide hazard reports are similar to flood hazard reports, but they focus specifically on the potential for storm tides, which are abnormal high water levels that can result from the combination of storm surge (a rise in sea level caused by strong winds) and the tide. Storm tide hazard reports may include information about the likelihood of storm tide events in a specific area, the potential impacts of these events, and recommendations for mitigating the risks associated with storm tides.
Both flood and storm tide hazard reports can be used by government agencies, businesses, and individuals to help inform their decision-making and planning related to flood and storm hazards. They may also be used to inform the development of flood and storm risk management strategies and to support the implementation of flood and storm protection measures.
