Learn about the Northeast Region Flood Science Capability Team.
The USGS Northeast Region has been an active and competent force in flood-science through (1) maintenance of our streamgaging network to provide timely and accurate data to the National Weather Service, other federal (USACE and FEMA) and state agencies (Emergency Management Agencies), and the public before, during, and after flood emergencies; (2) documentation of major floods; (3) involvement in the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) program; (4) research on stream and river flood hydrology and modeling; and (5) development of statistical hydrologic documentation tools.
The Flood Science Capability Team leads in flood sciences by coordinating, enhancing, and promoting flood-science programs, both riverine and coastal, within the Region, and working with others from other regions, other agencies or universities to enhance and develop flood science programs and capabilities in support of USGS national and regional goals.
