NOAA Office for Coastal Management Releases Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Data for Louisiana

NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management has released data in the the Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts viewer for Louisiana. Based on the best available elevation data available, the tool simulates various sea level rise scenarios and the corresponding areas that would be impacted by flooding. The tool also provides information about marsh impacts, nuisance flood frequency, and social and economic data.


NOAA OCM used the following explicit levee location and elevation data sources for Louisiana:
  1. Louisiana Coastal protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) 2015 Flood Protection GIS Database
  2. USACE National Levee Database
  3. Detailed field survey information from the Louisiana State University AgCenter
  4. USGS Northern Gulf of Mexico Topobathy DEM.
