Such a tragedy seeing the flooding and devastation in the South this week… we hope all of our readers and colleagues are staying dry and safe! To help those of you interested in tracking and/or monitoring the current situation, Esri has developed a U.S. Flooding Public Information Map which provides continuously updated information from the National Weather Service showing:

• Observed flooding locations
• Current and forecasted precipitation
• Flood warning areas

The map service also gathers specific information such as flooding height and severity and identify features with the stream gauge and weather watch layers.
