Information from the LEVEL ONE <br />DATA page is displayed to identify the building under consideration and <br />to provide reference information and guidance for LEVEL TWO <br />(Detailed) evaluations. <br /> <br />FLOOD HAZARD DA TA <br /> <br />Flood Data <br /> <br /> <br />,'-",',',. <br />.".". <br /> <br />'::n.,":_,"',. <br /> <br />:)'::"':":}, <br /> <br />":" ":\i:/"; , <br /> <br />':'::;":"/",-,"-..,:".;. <br /> <br />"..,-;:....-:,,'.... <br />'-...', <br /> <br />;',::;.: "'.~' <br />" <br /> <br />,;;,,'-'-.'

Flood data for 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year <br />floods are generally available from the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for <br />the area under evaluation. However, if flood data for other frequencies <br />are available, the frequencies and corresponding discharge and <br />elevation data may be entered in this table. <br /> <br />The table showing the expected annual number of floods is <br />automatically recalculated whenever the flood data are revised. <br /> <br />Flood Discharge The FIS contains a table of flood frequencies and discharges similar to <br />Data the two left hand columns of the table above. If more than one set of <br />discharge data are shown for the stream, use the discharges for the <br />closest location downstream from the building location. <br /> <br />Flood Elevation The FIS also contains Flood Profile graphs which show the elevations <br />Data of 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year floods along the stream. The elevation <br />of a 1 OO-year flood, for example, varies with location along the stream <br />because water runs downhill. To characterize flood risk at a given <br />location, it is necessary to know the elevation of the 10-, 50-, 100-, and <br />500-year floods at this location. These data may be obtained from the <br />Flood Profile graphs in the FIS. <br /> <br />7-2 <br />
