Get beyond the map The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has executed several flood mapping projects in the US. FEMA flood maps are efficient and play a vital role in understanding floods and flood prone areas. However, 25 percent of all flood-related property losses are located outside the 100-year flood plain. In some ways, uncertainty can be a bigger threat than a known disaster. Properties that are vulnerable to minor events (< 100-year frequency) and the properties which are outside the 100-year flood plains represent significant concerns to underwriters and emergency planners. The right data can make a difference. Now underwriters and catastrophe modelers can rely on a suite of flood hazard input layers to build their models efficiently. precisely.com | 877 7
