The results, to be released as an open database in the summer of 2017, will first contribute to the understanding of historical flooding, how these hazards have changed over time at a scale and resolution never before possible. Using Google Earth Engine, Cloud to Street and our partners at the Dartmouth Flood Observatory (DFO) are developing the largest database of spatial extent for historic floods, specifically to over 5,000 floods recorded since 1980 by the DFO. What are the major findings of this research? Here is what she shared with us about this work:ĭeveloping a Global Database of Historic Flood Events to Support Machine Learning Flood Prediction in Google Earth Engine Photo credit: highwaystarz This afternoon at #AGU16, Beth Tellman, a PhD Candidate in Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University and a co-founder of Cloud to Street, gave a talk on her work developing the largest database of historic flood maps.

GOOGLE EARTH FLOOD MAPS UPDATE
For Salem, the only changes in this update address riverine areas. The preliminary regulatory map changes or FIRM panels are only within those with updated flood hazard information. There will be time at the end for community members to ask questions.Ģ021 Preliminary FEMA Flood Insurance Rate MapsįEMA is in the process of updating Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for all jurisdictions in Essex County, Massachusetts. We will host an evening virtual meeting that will provide an overview of the study’s methodology and present the nonregulatory coastal erosion data viewer. FEMA Region I has shared the results of this study with the community officials within the county and would now like to share those same results with members of the community at large. These maps are nonregulatory products to be used by the community for planning and hazard mitigation purposes. To help identify the risk to communities, FEMA has created coastal erosion hazard maps displaying projected hazards for 2030, 2050, and 2100, incorporating projected sea level rise. Because coastal erosion is a hazard that threatens lives, property, and resources in Essex County, MA, FEMA Region I has elected to initiate a coastal erosion hazard area study for Essex County. In 2016, FEMA received a recommendation from its Technical Mapping Advisory Council to display flood risks in coastal areas that include future effects of long-term erosion and sea level rise. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published revised Preliminary copies of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and associated products for Essex County, Massachusetts (All Jurisdictions) for review.Īll effective and preliminary products may also be accessed at FEMA Flood Map Service Center | Welcome!Ģ022 - FEMA Region I Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas Study Presentation FEMA Region I Coastal Erosion Hazard Map Toolįlood Hazard Overlay District Ordinance AmendmentĬommonwealth Climate Change Clearinghouse: Resilient MA Mapping Toolįebruary 2023 - FEMA Revised Preliminary Panels & Reports
