Our neighborhood and the whole Swannanoa Valley is in the purple zone of this map, where the chance of getting this amount of rainfall in 48 hours was once in 1000 years. Which maybe just means no one’s ever seen anything like that and there’s no precedent in history. Streets, neighbo...
If you live in a high-risk flood zone, your lender will likely require you to obtain flood insurance. Even if it's not required, there are some areas where flood insurance is still recommended. If you're unsure what flood zone you're in, use our Flood Zone Map tool. If you ...
The Flood Insurance Rate Maps used by FEMA are based on antiquated data and obsolete models. As a result, the U.S. government downplays flood risks for homeowners across the country—but especially in mountainous regions like Appalachia.
Los Angeles 100-year flood zone and depth. UCI-led modeling reveals that roughly 1.7 million people and $265 billion in property are exposed to flooding greater than 3 cm, and roughly 425 thousand people and $56 billion in property are exposed to flooding greater than 30 cm. Shallow flooding...
This ordinance means that information on the flood zone and the base flood elevation for a site must be known for these properties. To help determine the flood zones and BFEs, FEMA provides paper and online maps. In some cases, these maps may supply sufficient information. However, in many...
A Kansas City flood map shows developments in the 100-year flood zone. Fathom Hurricane Harvey made that risk painfully clear when its record rainfall sent two reservoirs spilling into neighborhoods, inundating homes that had beenbuilt in the reservoirs’ flood zones. That was in 2017, andcommuni...
Future emissions will shape the extent of those harms — and the number of homes in each coastal region’s “risk zone” — in the years ahead. Unless otherwise noted, this report defines the risk zone as the area exposed to a 10-year flood threat in 2050, under the moderate emissions ...
Circular buffer areas were defined for each MSA based upon by the maximum geographic extent between the hospital bed-weighted centroid boundary and the boundary of the MSA, referred to as a hurricane impact zone (Figure S1 in Supporting Information S1). The hospital bed-weighted centroid does ...
