NOAA’s Office of Coast Survey has announced a new website, www.stormsurge.noaa.gov, designed to provide vital information to help protect communities, people, and property from the devastation of coastal flooding. “NOAA’s meteorologists and oceanographers observe coastal conditions and predict when storm surge may occur,” said Jesse Feyen, a storm surge expert with NOAA’s Office of Coast Survey. “This website gives people important information to help them prepare for storm surge. With this advance understanding and knowledge, people will know how to respond to coastal flooding from a storm.”
