I just somewhat skimmed through your repo here, but I was curious where you got the actual flood data from? Is there a national (USA) data bank with this information? I haven't delved very deep into your structure yet because I want to make sure the info exists for New Haven, CT to begin with

Hi Lindsay,

The data was obtained from our City's GIS department. They created vector projections using elevation data in ArcGIS. We just pull the map tiles that they generated from the service

I don't think you'll be able to reimplement this in New Haven unless their city department also create these projections.

Wow thanks so much for the quick reply. That is the info I was afraid of. I found that there is some tidal data out there but none of it is all that easy to work with. I might be able to reach out to my connections in local government to see if such data exists. I think this could be a fun little city project to work on for my town.
