Description:

This project contains 446 synthetic storms used in an assessing storm surge risk on the Texas coast. The wind and pressure files are used as input to the ADCIRC model to develop storm surge inundation maps. The results are used to determine flood insurance risk categories, which determine whether or not property falls under the federal flood insurance program.
