Portsmouth this afternoon issued a mandatory evacuation for residents in Swimming Point Walk, Olde Towne, Southside, Southside Gardens, North Side of Cradock (north of Afton Parkway), Afton Commons, Afton Village, Marsh Landing, and Westhaven (West of Caroline).
The city had earlier issued a voluntary evacuation for residents in "flood-prone" areas.
The city will open Churchland Middle School at 7 p.m. Friday as a shelter facility. Cradock Middle School will open at 8 a.m. Saturday.
Search your address to determine whether you live within a Category 1 (red) or Category 2 (orange) storm surge area. You can also search using neighborhood name and city to see the areas effected by the mandatory evacuation.
Please be patient; the storm surge maps are very detailed and make take a minute to load.

Looks good.
Same old P-Town shuffle
Refreshed twice. Waited, Waited and Waited. No map. Perhaps we need blue signs designating where the flood zones are.
As an Alternative, go to the
As an Alternative, go to the City of Portsmouth's GIS Flood Mapping Page on the City's Server.
http://www.portsmouthva.gov/website/parcelviewer_in/disclaim1.aspx
Enter in the address number and just the street name without the street type into the "Value" field such as:
801 Crawford
Then click on the "Execute" button.
To see the flood areas for each category of Hurricane click on the check box beside "Hurricane1 Flood" or "Hurricane2 Flood" etc. After clicking the check box it will redraw the map. Please give a bit of time. I would recommend using those 2 or 3. Only check one check box at a time.

Portsmouth's GIS is now up on web server.
I will be monitoring as often as I can to ensure these services remain up. There are quite a few folks using it. Please be patient with it and allow it time to respond. Good luck to everyone during the fierce weather we are going to encounter. :)
Definitly not working
All the other storm surge maps are working, except for Portsmouth's. Their Gis system is also down. I had to go to a 2004 storm surge map (just search 2004 Portsmouth, Va storm surge map). And you are right, I am upset with my city because mandatory evacuations are being held 5 blocks from my house and there is no one to ask any information, not even police.
Hello?
The map for Portsmouth is not loading for me at all...the Norfolk map had no problems. (and yes - I reloaded the page and waited more than enough time for a large file to load...)
umm
I put in a Portsmouth address, and the website is just sitting here. I dont think it works??
Give it a second
Please wait until the map loads before searching. If you get a white screen, hit the refresh button on your browser. The maps are very large; the first time they load it takes a little while.
