Vulnerability and Potential Losses in New York City from Coastal Flooding
The New York City Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has estimated the extent and consequences of coastal flooding in New York City using the HAZUS-MH and SLOSH models of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The extent of flooding is shown for the 100-year flood and hurricanes of Categories 1 to 4. Data were developed for types of buildings and the value of the structures and their contents. The critical assets at risk are identified, and the damage costs estimated. The hurricane model needs to be extended to include storm surges. The chapter summarizes a presentation by Joshua Friedman of the New York City Office of Emergency Management.
