The documentation and hazard identification would include: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. Flow estimates/event frequency <br />. Flood outline <br />. Damage assessment in dollars and extent <br />· Photos/video (when possible) <br />· Interviews of flood-impacted residents <br />. Maps (paper or GIS) of locations of human safety problems/fatalities <br />. Maps of property danlage by geographic location <br />. Description of unique/special features and watershed issues <br />· Preparation of an alUlUa] flood report <br /> <br />Proposed FUlldillt!: <br /> <br />Establish an annual account within the CWeB's five percent (5%) of the construction <br />fund dedicated to flood projects. Estimated annual budget: $35,000. <br /> <br />Bellefits: <br /> <br />. Development of scientificlhistoric data for hydrologic and hydraulic investigations. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. Improved accuracy of flood damages and risk assessment. <br /> <br />· Clearer understanding of what specific problems occurred and why they occurred. <br />
