<br />VERSION 1.0 1/12/95 <br /> <br />LEVEL TWO: Building DDF <br /> <br />FIA <br />Depth-Damage <br />Table <br /> <br />FIA depth-damage estimates include all claims including <br />flood damage due to high velocity flows, ice or debris <br />flows, or erosion and soil/foundation failures. However, <br />the preponderance of claims are due to water depth only <br />and thus these depth-damage estimates approximate <br />water depth only damages. <br /> <br />Damage estimates do not consider the flood duration. <br /> <br />Depth-damage data at high flood depths are based on <br />many fewer claims than at lower flood depths and thus <br />may be less reliable. <br /> <br />For the above reasons, the Default DDF data should be regarded as a <br />useful approximation to actual expected water depth-damages, but <br />certainly not as absolute truth for all circumstances. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />The following table displays the default depth-damage estimates by <br />flood depth for the six classes of building types plus the "other" <br />classification included in the program. These estimates are from the <br />FIA flood damage claim data; values at a few depths have been <br />interpolated between FIA data points. <br /> <br />8-4 <br />
