**\^Location Specific Hurricane Information**

**\^\^Chesapeake Bay** (will need to be added as a section/link within
this page)

> [Title: Hurricane Surge Predictions for Chesapeake Bay (September
> 1959)]{.underline}
>
> This report presents a comprehensive investigation of hurricane surge
> problems for the Chesapeake Bay area. The report presents and
> calibrates methods and techniques with available surge data so that
> the computational procedures result in reasonable estimates of maximum
> hurricane surge for design purposes. Further refinements of these
> results will require additional suitable hurricane surge data.

>
> This report is a comprehensive set of hurricane climatological
> statistics for the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the U.S. Coastal tidal
> inundations of these areas are primarily caused by hurricanes, and
> therefore the characteristics of these storms are the beginning point
> in making tidal flood-frequency analyses that are essential in
> establishing flood insurance criteria for a given community.

**\^\^Storm Surge** (will need to be added as a section/link within this
page)

> [Title: Characteristics of the Hurricane Storm Surge
> (1963)]{.underline}
>
> This report discusses the principal characteristics of the coastal
> flooding produced by hurricanes and the physical processes that are
> believed to account for the observations. The report examines the
> assembled data, the methods used in processing the data, and the
> resulting uncertainties in the final figures. Part two of the report
> presents the assembled data from a number of the best documented
> hurricane storm surge cases.

>
> This report presents a numerical-dynamic, tropical storm surge model,
> SLOSH, for real-time forecasting of hurricane storm surges on
> continental shelves, across inland water bodies, along coastlines, and
> for inland routing of water either from the sea or from inland water
> bodies. The National Weather Service uses the SLOSH model for
> operational forecasting to simulate the flooding caused by individual
> hurricanes.

>
> This report provides information on a single storm event, Hurricane
> Allen, for possible use in dynamic storm surge models. The study
> presents detailed analyses of the storm track, forward speed, central
> pressure, and radius to maximum wind, with particular attention given
> to the period surrounding landfall.

> Carla (August 1982)]{.underline}
>
> This report combines the meteorological and oceanographic data for a
> single storm event, Hurricane Carla, providing information useful for
> storm surge modeling. The study presents detailed analyses of the
> storm track, forward speed, central pressure, and radius to maximum
> wind, with particular attention given to the period surrounding
> landfall. Tide gage and high water mark data give both a time history
> and geographic depiction of the storm surge.

>
> This report presents a summary of the hurricane problem on the
> Atlantic Coast of Maryland and Virginia from the Delaware-Maryland
> line to the southern boundary of the U.S. Army Engineer District,
> about 16 miles south of Chincoteague, Virginia. The authors present a
> plan of protection for the area, along with an economic analysis of
> the proposed protection recommendations. The purpose of the report is
> to aid area officials in the establishment of floodplain regulatory
> measures and evacuation procedures.

> Rivers (June 1956)]{.underline}
>
> This report presents a summary of the hurricane problem in the tidal
> area of the Washington District as determined from reconnaissance
> surveys and public hearings, and presents plans for continuation of
> the hurricane survey. The area covered by this report includes the
> western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland from Cove Point to
> Point Lookout; portions of Virginia from Smith Point at the mouth of
> the Potomac River to Wolf Trap Light; and the tidal reaches of the
> Potomac, Rappahannock, Patuxent, and Piankatank Rivers.

>
> This report presents the results from studies of hurricane tidal

>
> This report concentrates on hurricane effects that are subject to
> modification by protective works, zoning, and evacuation. The study
> seeks to determine the extent of hurricane-induced tides, evaluate
> damages for various levels of flooding, determine the engineering and

> This report includes a general appraisal of the hurricane problem
> related to the tidewater areas of the Patuxent, Potomac, and
> Rappahannock Rivers and portions of the western shore of the
> Chesapeake Bay. The report includes information from public hearings
> to aid in defining problem areas and to record the public\'s interests
> and desires. Also included is an assessment of probable damages, a
> compilation of information on the frequency of hurricane activity and
> attendant tidal flooding, and assessments of the need for floodplain
> regulatory measures, protective warning and evacuation procedures, and
> other possible means of reducing damages.

> [Title: Maryland Hurricane Evacuation Study (December
> 1990)]{.underline}
>
> The purpose of this study is to develop policies and plans to safely
> and efficiently evacuate people during a hurricane and to increase
> public awareness of hurricane dangers. The report consists of five
> separate yet related analyses: a hazards analysis, a vulnerability
> analysis, a behavioral analysis, a shelter analysis, and a
> transportation analysis. The analyses produce data that define
> hurricane hazards and responses.
