  3. Project Objectives • Implement a state-of-the-art modeling system to define coastal flood risk in the Region III coastal domain • Develop the wind and pressure fields required to perform a combined EST and JPM-OS analysis of 10-, 50-, 100- and 500-yr floodplain levels • Validate the system with observations from historical tropical and extra-tropical storms • Maintain a GIS-based Web Site for project deliverables • Develop a plan for Phase II production US Army Engineer Research and Development Center
