Areas where the land lies less than a few meters above sea level are at particular risk from storm surge inundation. For a given topography and bathymetry the surge height is not solely affected by peak wind speed; the size of the storm also affects the peak surge.reas where the land lies less than a few meters above sea level are at particular risk from storm surge inundation.
