Coastal DevelopmentMapping Floodplains | Hurricane Forecasts | Identifying At-Risk Properties | Managing Nuisance Plants | Mapping Oceanfront Setbacks Mapping FloodplainsNorth Carolina agencies are using LIDAR to generate elevation data. This information is incorporated into updated floodplain maps that are necessary for flood forecasts, zoning, and permitting. For additional information about this project, please see Updating State Flood Insurance Rate Maps. About the DataProject Partners
Hurricane ForecastsThe NOAA National Hurricane Center uses a variety of different satellite sensors to generate hurricane forecasts. This information is critical to state and local emergency managers who must issue recommendations and orders to ensure safe evacuations from threatened areas. About the Data

Identifying At-Risk PropertiesAgencies in Washington are using LIDAR data as part of a study to monitor and estimate shoreline stability and erosion along the Pacific coast. About the DataProject Partners
Managing Nuisance PlantsDelaware is using a single-beam acoustic sensor to assist them in mapping submerged aquatic vegetation in the turbid waters of Delaware Bay. For additional information about this project, please see Managing a Nuisance Aquatic Plant. About the DataProject Partners
Mapping Oceanfront SetbacksA South Carolina agency has used LIDAR elevation data to determine the setback lines for property development along the miles of sandy beach in the state. For additional information about this project, please see Establishing Beach Setback Lines. About the DataProject Partners |
