Maps. Utilizing both traditional mapping techniques and the most modern computerized technology, Federal Flood analyzes and evaluates flood hazard risks on any property in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, and issues a fully-guaranteed Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form for lenders' records....
Suitable sampling locations where fine sediments might have accumulated were identified based on the official flood risk maps. Based on visual differentiation, only uncovered, apparently freshly deposited sediments were sampled to ensure they were, in fact, deposited by the flooding. The samples were ...

Use of FwDET during Hurricanes Harvey (Texas and Louisiana), Irma (Florida) and Maria (Puerto Rico) demonstrated its utility by producing large-scale water depth products at near-real-time at relatively high spatial resolution. Despite FwDET's success, limitations of the tool stemmed from ...

we calculated the total area of land affected and damages at each study unit. Flooding maps were also intersected with population data60after resampling from the original 1 km resolution to the 90 m of the digital elevation model. Existing artificial defenses such as seawalls were not asses...
(vulnerability), to produce estimates of risk, has not been considered. To estimate the number of people exposed to flooding, flood hazard data from the hydraulic model framework described above was intersected with three different population density maps, these were: the HRSL35, WorldPop29, and...

GIS Development of Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Maps Probabilistic tsunami hazard mapping is best performed using geographic information systems (GIS), where multiple model-based inundation maps can be combined according to assigned probabilities. To test these techniques, hazard mapping i... FL Wong,EL...
