Hurricane Preparedness
Flooding occurs throughout the year across the United States. It causes more damage in the United States than any other weather related event. On average, floods cause eight billion dollars in damages and eighty nine fatalities annually. Being prepared and knowing how to stay safe will help you and your loved ones survive a flood.
There are many types of floods, including:
- Freshwater flooding of land and water caused by heavy rainfall and/or snowmelt,
- Storm surge flooding caused by a quick surge of water levels with the approach of a intense coastal storm or tropical cyclone.
- Ice jam flooding in rivers and streams
Selected recent high impact flood events include:
- Tri-State Flash Flooding on 9/25/2018
- Historic Long Island Flash flooding on 8/12-13/2014
- Historic NY/NJ Storm Surge coastal flooding with Sandy on 10/29/2012
- Record NJ/NY/CT Freshwater River Flooding and Storm Surge Flooding with Irene on 8/28/2011

To better visualize river flood impacts check out our latest library of Inundation Maps. Inundation maps provide information on the spatial extent and depth of flood waters in the vicinity of both NWS river forecast and non-forecast points. Flood inundation maps, combined with river observations and NWS forecasts, enhance the communication of flood risk, provide users with additional information to better mitigate the impacts of flooding, and build more resilient communities.
