Common Emergencies in Alexandria

Alexandria is a historic independent city on the Potomac River just south of DC. Old Town Alexandria floods from the Potomac during nor'easter tidal surge events — a regular occurrence that has worsened with sea level rise. Hunting Creek and Cameron Run create additional flood corridors through the city. Historic Old Town has 18th and 19th century architecture with limited moisture barrier protection — any water intrusion is expensive to remediate without compromising historic materials. The dense urban development creates significant stormwater concentration issues.

  • Potomac River tidal flooding in Old Town during nor'easter events
  • Hunting Creek and Cameron Run flash flooding
  • Historic building envelope water infiltration
  • Aging 18th–19th century plumbing systems
  • Urban stormwater concentration from high impervious surfaces
