Digital Coast

The Coastal Inundation Toolkit was developed by the Digital Coast Partnership Group to help communities understand and address coastal inundation issues. Website components include

• Understand – What is coastal inundation, its causes, and impacts?
• Identify – How do I recognize community risks?
• Visualize – How can visualizations improve understanding of inundation?
• Communicate – What are the best ways to communicate risk and vulnerability information?
• Discover – What are others doing to address coastal inundation?

This toolkit is an example of how the data, tools, and other information within Digital Coast can be used to address one of the five partner-priority issues of coastal conservation, hazards, land use, marine planning, and water quality. The toolkit provides the context and guidance for connecting the resources in the Digital Coast to the needs of coastal managers.

Toolkits for the other coastal issues may be developed in the future. Please contribute feedback about this website or suggest development of future toolkits by writing to Digital.Coast@noaa.gov.
