Glynn County SLOSH Model

SLOSH (Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) model maps are designed to estimate storm surge heights and the potential extent of flooding from hurricanes. Developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), these maps simulate different storm scenarios. SLOSH (Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) model maps are designed to estimate storm surge heights and the potential extent of flooding from hurricanes. Developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), these maps simulate various storm scenarios to predict their impacts on coastal areas. By accounting for factors such as wind speed, storm track, and atmospheric pressure, SLOSH model maps help emergency management agencies and local governments prepare for hurricane-induced flooding. These maps are vital for planning evacuations, improving community resilience, and minimizing property damage during hurricane events. They are used to predict the impact on coastal areas.
