There is, on the <br />averag~. about 1 chance in 100 that,the designated areas will be inundated in any year. <br />This information is important to public agencies and private citizens concerned with future <br />land developments. <br />The flood~prone areas have been delineated through use of readily available inlonna- <br />tion on past floods rather than from detailed field surveys and inspections. In general. <br />the delineated areas are for natural conditions and do not take into consideration the pos- <br />sible effects of existing or proposed flood control structures except where those effects <br />could be evaluated. Flood areas have been identified for: (1) urban areas where the up- <br />stream drainage basin exceeds 25 square miles. (2) rural areas in humid regions where the <br />upstream drainage basin exceeds 100 square miles, (3) rural areas in semiarid regions where <br />the upstream drainage basin exceeds 250 square miles, and (4) smaller drainage basins, <br />depending on topography and potential use of the flood plains. <br />The 89th Congress, in House Document 465, recommended the preparation of flood-prone <br />area maps to assist in minimizing flood losses by quickly identifying the areas of potential <br />flood hazards. More detailed flood information may be required for other purposes such <br />88 structural designs, economic studies, or formulation of land-use regqlations.
