Coastal County Snapshots turn complex data into easy-to-understand stories, complete with charts and graphs. Users select a coastal county of interest and the website does the rest, providing information that can help communities become more resilient to coastal hazards.
Local officials use snapshot information to learn about their communities; handouts generated by the snapshots can be a helpful educational tool when working with governing bodies and citizen groups. Current snapshot data holdings focus on flood risks and the local economy.
