Discussion of the analysis of structures in the floodplain

Body

Action Required:

Guidance

 

Description:

This is a follow-up to previous discussions regarding structures in the floodplain and property acquisition per the GEMA Hazard Mitigation Program. Staff has completed assessing the data that our consultant provided using our floodplain models.

 

Using the recently completed updated floodplain modeling, a potential of 357 insurable structures located in the floodplain were identified and ranked according to the potential severity of flooding. This information can be used as supporting data for evaluating whether an application for a mitigation grant is pursued for any structures in the City of Roswell. Staff will present a brief summary of findings and implications from this modeling study.

 

Comments:

No action regarding property acquisition is currently proposed, pending specific guidance from Mayor and Council.
