The flood maps identify structures within high-risk areas of flooding - known as Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). These areas are shown on the flood maps as Zone A, AE, AE (Floodway) or VE (coastal) Zones. If your home or business is in a high-risk area, and you have a mortg...
The aim of the study was the development of a GIS tool, to be exploited eventually in the form of a WebGIS, as a decision support tool for flood hazard (and risk) assessment. The research was conducted in Laconia Prefecture in Peloponnesus. In this work, flood hazard assessment was implem...
Zone V: Areas at risk of coastal flooding with additional hazards, like wave action. Zone AE: Similar to Zone A, but with base flood elevations provided. Why This Matters: Understanding your property’s flood zone is crucial for assessing flood risk and making informed decisions about flood in...

zone. The remainder of the land in Indian River Shores is in the AE zone. Flood zones and evacuation zones are different. Flood zones are used to assess a property’s flood risk caused by heavy rains, tropical storms, and hurricanes. Evacuation zones are based on the property’s ...
Peace of Mind:Knowing the specifics of your property’s flood zone empowers you to take proactive measures to protect your home and investments. FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) is an essential tool that delineates flood hazard areas in your comm...
An impact-based hazard estimation technique was applied to assess the degree of hazard across the flood plain. The results showed that 78% of the Phrae flood-plain area of 476 km2 in the upper Yom River basin lies in the hazard zone of the 100-year return-period flood. Risk analyses ...
Since flood hazard is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, many different maps could be relevant. Having large numbers of maps to take into account does not, however, make planning easier. To support flood risk management planning we therefore introduce a new approach in which all relevant flood ...
Wave action during storm surge is a common cause of building damage and therefore a critical consideration when estimating structural vulnerability and map
