1. Select a Location. Choose your coastal location from the dropdown menu to view the barrier height requirements specific to that area. The table displays requirements for various home elevations.

2. Review the Table:

• HOME ELEVATION: Elevation where items you care about are located (e.g., garage, lowest elevation of machinery).
• MINIMUM BARRIER HEIGHT: Calculated barrier height (in feet) based on the maximum water level compared to the elevation, at the time of peak surge. Data Source: NOAA's Extratropical Water Level Guidance

3. User Responsibility: Users are responsible for their own actions, property, and how this information is used. NOAA nor TropicalDefense is not responsible.

Table zones:

• Red Zone (Barrier Required): Barriers are required.
• Yellow Zone (Water within 1 foot): Water level is close to your home elevation.
• Green Zone (No Barrier Needed): Barrier need not anticipated, however this is ultimately the user's decision.
