Description:Flooding is a threat to buildings, property, and lives. Floods are the most common and widespread of all weather-related disasters. Storm surge is an abnormal rise in water level in coastal areas, over and above the regular tide, generated from a severe storm's wind, waves, and low atmospheric pressure. Along the Gulf coast, storm surge is often the greatest threat to life and property from a hurricane. The Gulf of Mexico coast is low-lying, and we are highly vulnerable to sea-level rise impacts.
