To provide critical and real-time information regarding changing water levels in specific geographic locations, a series of Flood Inundation Mapping and Alert Network (FIMAN) flood gages have been installed throughout Dare County.
See the video below showing how to sign up to receive text alerts if water levels in your area begin to rise due to storm surge, which can occur on both the soundside and oceanside of the communities that comprise the Outer Banks.
For more information about FIMAN’s flood gages—and to sign up to receive alerts for rising water levels in your area—please visit FIMAN.nc.gov. For more information about storm surge on the Outer Banks and ways you can protect yourself and your property, please visit DareNC.gov/EM.
