Description: The layer supports Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDDNR) leadership and planners as they endeavor to mitigate or prevent the impacts of sea level change resulting from land surface subsidence and rising sea levels. This HVI uses weighted roadway characteristics - evacuation route and functional class - to standardize the impending hazard - projected sea-level rise - along segments of Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) centerlines for a particular scenario. Methodology:US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) provide the sea level change (SLC) estimate-1. SLC is localized using water elevations collected from a qualifying-2 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tidal reference station - NOAA observations are transformed from tidal datum to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88).

Description: The layer supports Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDDNR) leadership and planners as they endeavor to mitigate or prevent the impacts of sea level change resulting from land surface subsidence and rising sea levels. This HVI uses weighted roadway characteristics - evacuation route and functional class - to standardize the impending hazard - projected sea-level rise - along segments of Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) centerlines for a particular scenario. Methodology:US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) provide the sea level change (SLC) estimate-1. SLC is localized using water elevations collected from a qualifying-2 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tidal reference station - NOAA observations are transformed from tidal datum to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88).
