C. Process Used to Analyze Information from Local Risk Assessments

The 2004 update to the NHMP 2001 umbrella document contains information
describing the process used to analyze information from local risk assessments. The
process is summarized below.

Counties most at risk were determined following an evaluation of: (1) population in the
flood risk area, (2) number of stmctures identified in the flood risk area, (3) number of
repetitive loss stmctures in each county, and (4) number of Class I and II dams in each
county. Values for each factor were assigned as follows:

Population in Flood Risk Area
1,001 +
501 - 1000
1 - 500
