Please note:Surge levels are shown on each figure. Surge levels are indicated in meters above NGVD. When viewing the following images, remember to add the current water level to the surge estimate to determine the total water level. For example, if the model indicates 3 feet of surge, and the present water level at the site is 3 feet NGVD, then the total surge is going to be 6-7 feet above NGVD.
