NOAA Coastal Inundation Dashboard
The Coastal Inundation Dashboard is an interactive decision-support tool that provides real-time and forecast water levels, and historic flooding information at National Ocean Service (NOS) water level stations across the U.S. and its territories. Users can access this information to understand near-term flood risks, such as impacts from tropical cyclones or nor’easters, and long-term inundation risks, such as high-tide flooding and sea level rise. The product supports coastal flood planning, response, and mitigation across timescales.

USGS Compound Flood Hazard Web Map
The USGS Long Island Sound Partnership Compound Flood Hazard Web Map Application is an interactive tool developed by the U.S. Geological Survey’s New York Water Science Center that helps users explore the combined impacts of multiple flooding drivers across the New York and Connecticut coastal regions. Drivers of compound flooding included in the assessment were precipitation, coastal (storm surge, tidal), and groundwater emergence, which when combined can lead to more severe and widespread inundation than from any single cause alone.
The map visually displays hazard rankings and spatial patterns of flood drivers so that planners, emergency managers, researchers, and the public can better understand where these flood hazards are most likely to coincide, thus supporting local decision making for flood mitigation, coastal planning, and resilience strategies. The application is based on USGS models and ongoing research into regional flood processes.
