商品簡介
This report from the National Research Council of the National Academies assesses current FEMA flood map accuracy and notes that despite recent conversions to digital media, only 21% of all maps meet or exceed data quality thresholds. Written primarily for policymakers and government agencies, this volume explains the benefits and costs of a more accurate flood map system while offering recommendations for an improved flow of communication during flood conditions. Data is also presented for flood insurance rates, elevations and heights, inland and coastal flooding and methods for estimating base flood elevations.
