University of Chicago, Dept. of Geography <br />proofing: An element in a flood damage reduction program. <br />(University of Chicago, Dept. of Geography Research Paper <br /> <br />1960. <br />no. 65) <br /> <br />After a review of flood proofing methods, a geographical and socio-econ- <br />omic field study of the urban community of Bristol; Tennessee-Virginia is presen- <br />ted. Perceptions of businessmen of the local flood ha~ard are discussed. The <br />potential for flood loss in Bristol is estimated by comparing various kinds of <br />structures to the results of an extensive TVA Chattanooga flood damage survey. <br />The results of a cost-benefit analysis of flood proofing for 24 sample business~s <br />are presented for three flood intensities and three methods of financing. <br />The applicability of flood proofing is discussed inJElation to other adjust- <br />ments, regional geography, accurate flood forecasting, technical guidance, fi- <br />nancing, flood plain regulations, and legal aspects. <br /> <br />'-' <br /> <br />U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
