National Weather Service | National Seasonal Safety Campaign

Individuals, communities, and professionals can access seasonal resources to help them be prepared for extreme weather, water, and climate events.

NJ Flood Mapper

View detailed maps and photos of New Jersey communities as they look today, and compare them to visualizations showing one to six feet of sea level rise. This tool provides information for people who need to make individual or community decisions about local flooding hazards.

Our Coast, Our Future

Coastal resource managers and planners in the San Francisco Bay region can use locally relevant, online maps and tools to explore, visualize, and anticipate vulnerabilities related to sea level rise and storms.

Pacific Island Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS)

Local government agencies, residents, and visitors can find real-time coastal and ocean observations as well as wave and water-level forecasts for many islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Pacific Island Sea Level Forecasts

This experimental product provides an outlook of monthly sea level anomalies for the next one to two seasons. We combine sea level forecasts with astronomical tide predictions to provide more accurate predictions of coastal water level compared to tide predictions alone.

Precipitation Frequency Data Server (PFDS)

Access precipitation frequency estimates for precipitation depth or intensity as tables, graphs, or GIS layers for any location in the contiguous United States.

Rio Grande-Bravo Climate Impacts and Outlook

Users in the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo region of New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico can consult these monthly impact and outlook reports to get information on past and forecasted regional temperature, precipitation, ENSO, and fire conditions.

Sea Level Change Curve Calculator

Find estimated rates of sea level change for any location along the U.S. ocean coast. For locations without tide gauges, click the NOAA tide gage closest to the location of interest.

Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Web Tools Comparison Matrix

Coastal management communities can use this chart to compare sea level rise and coastal flood tools available for their state. The matrix describes features of various tools to help planners decide which tool can meet their needs.

Sea Level Rise Tool for Sandy Recovery—New Jersey and New York

Examine detailed maps of of New York and New Jersey to see areas impacted by flooding from Superstorm Sandy and areas likely to be inundated by four different sea level rise scenarios.

Sea Level Rise Tool for Sandy Recovery—New York City

Examine detailed maps of New York City to see areas impacted by flooding from Superstorm Sandy and areas likely to be inundated by four different sea level rise scenarios.

Sea Level Rise Viewer

Explore how the shoreline is likely to change with increasing amounts of sea level rise. This tool from NOAA's Office of Coastal Management lets you visualize the potential impacts of coastal flooding so you can prioritize actions for different scenarios.
