Piermont GeoTool Disclaimer

The Piermont GeoTool system, which includes probabilistic coastal inundation maps and other products, is produced by researchers at the University of Florida and other institutions for a research project entitled “Understanding the Role of Coastal Marsh in Buffering Coastal Communities from Wave and Flood Damage during Storms amid a Changing Climate” (2016-2020) sponsored by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative, which supports collaborative research that addresses coastal management problems important to the reserves. The Science Collaborative is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and managed by the University of Michigan Water Center (NAI4NOS4190145) with Lynn Vaccaro as the project manager. Dr. Peter Sheng served as the Principal Investigator of the project and Dr. Vladimir Paramygin developed the Piermont GeoTool. While the products contained in the GeoTool were developed with the best available sciences, it is subject to change in the future. This system is provided (at no cost) to the Village of Piermont (Contact: Nathan Mitchell) and the HRNERR (Contact: Sarah Fernald) to enhance their planning activities. It is not meant to replace the flood insurance rate maps of FEMA nor the official storm surge forecast of National Hurricane Center. Users of this system assume full legal responsibility when using information provided by the system. Furthermore, the users of this system agree not to share the information produced by the system, publish any products in any form, distribute the products to the media, or use the products for any profit-making purposes.
