Title

Building resilience in vulnerable coastal communities with the Southeast Water Level Network Initiative

Abstract

Coastal communities in the Southeast U.S.A. face increasing risks from storm surge, extreme rainfall, and rising sea levels, highlighting the need for effective monitoring and response systems. Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association launched the Southeast Water Level Network in 2021 to address these challenges, partnering with academic, federal, nonprofit, and commercial organizations to install and operate lower-cost, real-time water level stations. This initiative, focused on communities vulnerable to flooding, enhances resilience by providing critical data for flood alerts and planning. The project underscores the role of strategic partnerships, innovative sensor technologies, and comprehensive planning in safeguarding vulnerable coastal regions.
