By the Sea?

In the US the Geological Survey and National Weather Service compile historical flood data which is used to perform risk assessments used for the National Flood Insurance Program. I've provided some links to some typical public information resources. Unlike the UK, the mid-Atlantic states have a tidal plain which is subject to flooding from hurricance storm surges up to the "fall line."
