The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has created a department community mapping system, which will be used to inform some department decisions, such as specific plans for local outreach and public participation.
The Technical Mapping Advisory Council (TMAC) is a federal advisory committee established to review and make recommendations to FEMA on matters related to the national flood mapping program authorized under the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012.
The national flood mapping program provides flood maps to inform communities about the local flood risk and help set minimum floodplain standards so communities may build safely and resiliently. The Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) established under the program help determine the cost of National Flood Insurance Program flood insurance which helps property owners financially protect themselves against flooding.
The TMAC reviews the national flood mapping activities authorized under the law and prepares recommendations for the FEMA Administrator. The TMAC also produces an annual report on the impacts of climate sciences and future conditions and how they may be incorporated into the mapping program. The TMAC is comprised of representatives from federal, state, local and private sector organizations as mandated in the Biggert Waters Reform Act of 2012 and governed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) requirements.
There is not 100% confidence in the elevation data and/or mapping process. It is important not to focus on the exact extent of inundation, but rather to examine the level of confidence that the extent of inundation is accurate (see mapping confidence tab).
The four relative sea level rise (RSL) scenarios shown in this tab are derived from the 2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report using the same methods as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sea Level Change Curve Calculator. These new scenarios were developed by the U.S. Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Hazard Scenarios and Tools Interagency Task Force as input into the U.S. Global Change Research Program Sustained Assessment process and, Fifth National Climate Assessment. These RSL scenarios provide an update to the NOAA 2017 scenarios, which were developed as input to the Fourth National Climate Assessment.
Note: We do not show the low scenario, as it is a continuation of the current global trend since the early 1990s and has been determined to have a low probability of occurring by 2100. Furthermore, this scenario would be associated with low levels of risk even if it did occur.
Another important change from the 2017 scenarios is the exclusion of the extreme (2.5 meter) scenario. Based on the most recent scientific understanding, and as discussed in the IPCC AR6, the uncertain physical processes that could lead to much higher increases in sea level are now viewed as less plausible in the coming decades before potentially becoming a factor toward the end of the 21st century. A GMSL increase of 2.5 meters is thus viewed as less plausible and the associated scenario has been removed.
For almost all the scenarios, RSL rise is likely to be greater than the global average in the U.S. Northeast and the western Gulf of Mexico. In intermediate and low scenarios, RSL rise is likely to be less than the global average in much of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. For high scenarios, RSL rise is likely to be higher than the global average along all U.S. coastlines outside Alaska.
A RSL-change adjustment to the current National Tidal Datum Epoch (1983-2001) will cause a minimal offset that may be needed for some applications. The USACE Sea Level Change Curve Calculator can correct for this offset.
The inundation areas depicted in the Sea Level Rise tab are not as precise as they may appear. There are many unknowns when mapping future conditions, including natural evolution of the coastal landforms (e.g., barrier island overwash and migration), as well as the data used to predict the changes. The presentation of confidence in these maps only represents the known error in the elevation data and tidal corrections.
Blue areas denote a high confidence of inundation, orange areas denote a high degree of uncertainty, and unshaded areas denote a high confidence that these areas will be dry given the chosen water level.
In this application 80% is considered a high degree of confidence such that, for example, the blue areas denote locations that may be correctly mapped as 'inundated' more than 8 out of 10 times. Areas with a high degree of uncertainty represent locations that may be mapped correctly (either as inundated or dry) less than 8 out of 10 times. For a detailed description of the confidence levels and their computation, see the methods document.
Predictions represent the potential distribution of each wetland type (see legend) based on their elevation and how frequently they may be inundated under each scenario. As sea levels increase, some marshes may migrate into neighboring low-lying areas, while other sections of marsh will change type or be lost to open water.
Note: We do not show the low scenario as it is a continuation of the current global trend since the early 1990s and has been determined to have a low probability of occurring by 2100. Furthermore, this scenario would be associated with low levels of risk even if it did occur.
The Social Vulnerability Index, which shows areas of high human vulnerability to hazards, is based on population attributes from Census 2010 (e.g., age and poverty) and the built environment. By looking at the intersection of potential sea level rise and vulnerable Census tracts, one can get an idea of how vulnerable populations might be affected by sea level rise. Dark red indicates tracts having a high vulnerability, and the lighter reds indicate decreasing vulnerability.
Click on a NOAA tide station icon in the map to see historical inundation events in flood days per year. The flood thresholds used in these plots are derived national flood thresholds from NOAA Technical Report NOS CO-OPS 086: Patterns and Projections of High Tide Flooding Along the U.S. Coastline Using a Common Impact Threshold. The derived thresholds used here provide a national definition of coastal flooding and impacts for quantifying and communicating risk. These thresholds may deviate from NWS impact thresholds which take into account local flood risk and are used to issue NWS coastal flood watches, warnings, and advisories.
The purpose of this map viewer is to provide federal, state, and local coastal resource managers and planners with a preliminary look at sea level rise and coastal flooding impacts. The viewer is a screening-level tool that uses best-available, nationally consistent data sets and analyses. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help estimate impacts and prioritize actions for different scenarios.
EJScreen is the EPA's environmental justice screening and mapping tool that utilizes standard and nationally consistent data to highlight places that may have higher environmental burdens and vulnerable populations.
