Vermont can benefit from Height Modernization because accurate heights support critical infrastructure including transportation systems, airplane runways and water delivery systems. Additionally, Vermont is vulnerable to hazards such as hurricanes and nor'easters. Height Modernization will support emergency management planning, land use planning and management, and elevation changes monitoring to help address these additional challenges.
For additional inquiries, contact the State Geodetic Advisor Program or the National Height Modernization Program directly. State geodetic advisors serve as liaisons between NOAA and regional or state organizations.
