Inland STORMTOOLS update webinar December 15, 2025

Описание: The goals for this project developing Inland STORMTOOLS are:
Developing and incorporating watershed models to predict the effects of the recent increase in extreme precipitation and sea-level rise on flood risk and flood-insurance maps
Leveraging existing STORMTOOLS initiatives to create a seamless flood risk assessment tool that supports flood preparedness and mitigation in Rhode Island, considering future changes in precipitation and sea level rise.
Disseminating the results to permitting agencies and Rhode Island communities.

This meeting update includes progress from the past year, including:
Collection of geospatial and hydrometeorological data for Wood River, Pawcatuck River, Chipuxet River, Ten Mile River, West River, and Pawtuxet River.
Improvements to and validation of hydrological and hydraulic models for these rivers.
Development of flood maps based on precipitation change scenarios and comparisons with FEMA flooding maps.
Group discussion of your input on the user interface and applications of the data in your work.

Brief progress updates on related efforts:
500 yr with sea level rise flooding maps for the state
STORMTOOLS wind damage maps for the state
New project to include inland and coastal flooding in real-time storm forecasts
