These data sets were used to create the interactive maps. Browse through the
table below to find specific data layers, links to the data source, and text explaining
the relevancy of the data to a risk and vulnerability assessment. Several of the
datasets were created or modified by the NOAA Coastal Services Center. These data
and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)-compliant metadata are available
for download in a compressed file (.tar). To extract the datasets you can use
the WinZip®
software package.
