Riverine Flood Inundation Maps
Features
- Provides National Weather Service flood forecasts in a visual format
- Allows users to scroll through inundation levels to visualize the impacts for various river flood stages (e.g., minor, moderate, major).
Overview
These online interactive maps help emergency managers and decision-makers visualize where inundation will affect their communities. When flood forecasts are released by the National Weather Service, officials have the option to refer to these maps and scroll through the different river flood stages to see how inundation could impact local roads, building infrastructure, and resources. Users are then able to make better informed decisions on bridge and road closures, as well as evacuations.
