There is, on the average, about I chance in 100 that the d('si~nated art'as will be inundated in any year. This information is important to public agencies and privatl> citizens concerned with future land developments. The f1uod-prone areas have been delineated through use of readily available in forma. tion on past floods rathN than from detailed field surveys and inspections. In .'rent'ral. the delim.aterl areas arE.' for natural ('ondition~ ann do not take into consideration th~ pvs~ ~ihle effects of existing or proposed flood control structures except wheft' those effed~ could be ('valuated. Flood areaH have been identified for; (1) urban areas where the up~ strt'am drainage basin excePds 25 square milt's. (2) rural areas in humid reg-ions wht>re the upstream drainage basin t'xceed!'l 100 square miles, (3) rural areas in ~emiarid regions where the upstn'am drainage basin t"xct'eds 2;'0 square miles, and (4) smaller drainage basins, rlept.nding on topography and potential use of the flood plains. The 89th Congress, in House Document 4M. recommended the preparation of flood~prone area maps to as.sist in minimizing flood losses by quickly idt>ntifying the areas of potential flood hazards. More detailed flood information may be required for other purposf:'S such as r:.tructural dE:'signs. t"conomit. studies, or formulation of land~use regulations.
