CRIS allows transportation planners and emergency managers to simulate predicted roadway inundation from coastal flooding and quantify potential effects of inundation. Inundation boundaries are derived from NC QL2 LiDAR data and are available up to 15ft (NAVD88). Users can simulate flooding on both primary and secondary roads and export results to a KML for further visualization. Simulations are limited to coastal counties only.
Open Application
This tool provides a high-level overview of the potential inundation effects from river crossings along primary routes. Each crossing leverages detailed hydraulic model data provided by NCEM to show water surface elevations for the 10, 25, 50, 100, and 500yr flood frequencies. Available 2D data can also be displayed for 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000-year intervals. This tool allows the user to see potential overtopping depths and flood effects at each primary road crossing and quantify potential effects.
