Mission/Vision Statement

Many governmental organizations, particularly on the local and state levels, are not fully equipped to address the challenges associated with flooding, hurricanes, sea level rise, and other coastal hazards. It is for this reason the NOAA Coastal Services was created.

The Center brings NOAA products and services to these entities, and develops new products and services as well. The Center’s core areas of expertise include geospatial technologies; training; and social science. Products and services developed by the Center include data, tools, training, and technical assistance.

Core Values:

  • Focusing on customers, quality, and results
  • Acting as a catalyst for innovation and change
  • Building effective partnerships across NOAA and beyond government
  • Being national in scope but local in approach
