DescriptionEssential to implementing the flood insurance program in any community, whether coastal or river valley, is a flood frequency analysis. This paper describes the frequency analysis of combined storm surges and periodic tides prepared by ESSA as part of the Long Beach Island study. These frequencies apply to the ocean beach. It is intended to serve as a guide to other studies of other coastal communities as well as to provide needed criteria at this one location. Technical procedures are set forth in some detail in this report, to facilitate not only their emulation but also their criticism and modification in future studies for other coastal communities.
NoteThis report is part of a study by Environmental Sciences Services Administration (ESSA) for the Federal Insurance Administration, Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968.
