Development and Applications of the FEMA Region IV Coastal Flood Loss Atlas
The FEMA Region IV office in Atlanta developed a Coastal Flood Loss Atlas (CFLA) over recent years in an effort to improve hurricane storm surge risk and vulnerability assessments for mitigation planning, response and recovery operations support, and long-term analyses of disaster data, GIS methodologies, and model performance. This study developed methodologies to use SLOSH model analyses to establish maximum potential storm surge depths by Saffir-Simpson hurricane category (MOM), which are incorporated into the HAZUS Coastal Flood Model to establish a baseline reference for hurricane surge losses. A case study of observed versus modeled surge and loss estimates for Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi is reviewed, and sensitivity analyses on low and high resolution raster data provide a basis for the ongoing national CFLA project. The methodologies developed in this study are currently used for real-time hurricane surge and tsunami hazard loss analyses in national and international applications.
