  5. Today’s Session Leveraging Public and Community Data to Assess Local Flood Risk Learning Objectives • Recognize available flood hazard data and information resources and understand their use in risk assessment • Leverage existing information to increase risk awareness and drive mitigation action

  6. POLL #1 Use the Adobe Connect interface to respond to this poll

  7. Understanding Risk RISK = HAZARD x LIKELIHOOD x CONSEQUENCE Just a few inches of water can cost tens of thousands of dollars in damage.

  8. Which Hazard is Represented? FEMA’s flood risk maps represent the combined effects of flood hazards. • Riverine Flooding • Levee Analysis • Alluvial Fans • Wave Run-Up • Storm Surge • Coastal Flooding
