USGS Hurricane-Induced Coastal Erosion Hazards online interactive tool

Closeup view of Atlantic Beach on Long Island, New York, in USGS Hurricane-Induced Coastal Erosion Hazards online interactive tool. Screenshot shows probabilities of (a) collision, in which dune toe is eroded by waves and surge (line closest to shore, 90–100 percent in stretch directly in front of "Atlantic Beach" label near center of image), (b) overwash, in which sand is transported landward over beach and dune (middle line, 75–90 percent in same stretch), and (c) inundation, in which beach and dune are completely and continuously submerged (line farthest from shore, 25–50 percent in same stretch) during a category 1 storm. Other layers can be chosen to display dune elevations (at crest and toe) and predicted water levels (mean water levels and extreme water levels) for selected storm categories.
