Learn more about available data related to flooding
USGS collects flood data and conducts targeted flood science to help Federal, State, and local agencies, decision makers, and the public before, during, and after a flood.
Some of USGS surface-water data is on the national scale, for example the National Water Dashboard, USGS Water Alert, USGS Flood Event Viewer, USGS Flood impact Map, and USGS StreamStats, but some data like the Pennsylvania Rapid Deployment Network is focused on a specific region.

Rapid Deployment Network for Flooding in Pennsylvania
USGS, in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 3 and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), is developing a Rapid Deployment Network (RDN) for monitoring stream levels at currently unmonitored locations in Pennsylvania during flooding. RDN data helps emergency response agencies protect life and property during forecast floods and informs flood...

Streamflow Estimation from Advanced Imaging (LSPIV) in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Water Science Center and the Next Generation Water Observing Systems (NGWOS) Program are implementing new technologies for streamflow estimation at sites in Pennsylvania where conventional measurement techniques are inadequate.
Webcams at streamgages in Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Water Science Center hosts webcams at several streamgaging sites.
High-Water Marks and Flooding
At places where the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) does not have real-time monitoring equipment, we use high-water marks to measure the maximum height (stream stage) of a flood or high-water event.
