How do I check my river's level?
Search for your river, creek or town above, or pick your state. Each gauge page shows the current level, how it compares to flood stage, and the past week.
What do action, minor, moderate and major flood mean?
They're the official flood levels for each gauge. Action means the water is getting high and people should watch it. Minor means some flooding of low areas. Moderate means homes and roads may flood. Major means widespread, serious flooding.
Can I get an alert when my river rises?

Why isn't my creek listed?
