To quantify the hazard of hurricane storm surge and coastal inundation in the U.S., storm surge atlas and base flood elevation (BFE) maps are developed. The traditional method for determining the BFE map is the joint probability method (JPM), which requires the simulation of over thousands of hypothetical hurricanes to accurately represent the storm climatology to determine the surge response and...
Coastal inundation from hurricane storm surges causes catastrophic damage to lives and property, as evidenced by recent hurricanes including Katrina and Wilma in 2005 and Ike in 2008. Changes in hurricane activity and sea level due to a warming climate, together with growing coastal population, are expected to increase the potential for loss of property and lives. Current inundation hazard maps: Base...
