VIMS Storm Central

Here's a one-stop shop for information on how the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) helps society understand and address the coastal impacts of hurricanes and nor'easters. During storm events, we also offer data streams, videos, and photos as conditions allow.

Modeling

Underlying many of our coastal flooding tools and forecasts is the SCHISM model developed at VIMS. This cutting-edge model can predict a hurricane’s storm tide at the level of individual neighborhoods and streets—a much finer scale than current operational methods.
