NOAA EXPANDS COASTAL STORM INLAND FLOODING PREDICTION TOOL

NOAA EXPANDS COASTAL STORM INLAND FLOODING PREDICTION TOOL: "Feb. 24, 2006 - NOAA's Coastal Services Center and National Weather Service, working in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Sea Island Software, Inc., have developed an enhanced inland flooding forecast component to HURREVAC, a computer program used by government emergency managers. These updates will address the growing threat of damages due to flooding caused by coastal storms and will allow emergency management personnel throughout New England to quickly compare flood inundation maps with forecasts of rainfall and river levels"
