With peak hurricane season and the fifth anniversary of Superstorm Sandy approaching, join us July 11 at 11 a.m. for a special webinar
showcasing online mapping tools in the Mid-Atlantic that illustrate risks
posed to coastal areas, such as flooding, severe storms and sea level rise. This webinar will feature
guests demonstrating innovative sites focused at the city, state, regional and national levels:
- Kyle Spencer, Tidal Inundation Tracking
Application for Norfolk (TITAN)/City of Norfolk: TITAN was developed by Norfolk as a resource to increase awareness of coastal flooding impacts
throughout the City.
- Matt Campo, New Jersey Flood Mapper/Rutgers University: This interactive mapping website was designed and created to
provide a user-friendly visualization tool that will help get information into
the hands of local communities who need to make decisions concerning flooding
hazards and sea level rise.
- Dan Rizza, Climate Central: Climate
Central, a research non-profit, created Surging Seas, a public web tool that provides local coastal
flood risk and sea level rise projections, interactive maps, downloads,
and exposure tabulations of demographic, economic, infrastructure, and
environmental variables for the continental US states.
- Karl Vilacoba (moderator), Mid-Atlantic Ocean
Data Portal/Monmouth University Urban Coast Institute: The Portal’s ArcGIS Service Input Tool allows users to directly
compare map data from outside sites, like the risk-focused tools mentioned
above, with its own collection of over 3,000 data layers in Marine Planner.
