Are river stages directly related to elevation?

If I'm at 30 feet elevation am I protected until a nearby river rises above 30 feet?

Sorry for the stupid question.

eta: I was thinking about this post more and decided my final answer is "Need more information" for your specific case

Damn fine question, OP.

This has always confused me too.

Here's a good explainer from Jay Grimes:

Thank you. Now it's pretty much confirmed I will flood.

But seriously though, way to be clutch!

I don't think so. For example, certain areas of Natchez are 200' above sea level, while the river stages are in the 30s typically. Maybe I'm wrong though.
