Understanding Your Flood Probability

Property Flood probability values determined based on estimates of building first floor elevations, multiple flood frequency analysis and other data. Flood impacts and probabilities may vary based on local conditions and storm intensity.

Estimated Impact/Cost to Repair

Note: Building and Content Damages are based on FEMA and US Army Corps of Engineers Depth-Damage Curves and represent average building characteristics. Individual damage may vary with flood severity and structure / content characteristics. In addition, some structures may report damages below the first floor elevation based on utilities and other building components. Negative flood depths report flood levels below the first finished floor.

*“Cost Effectiveness” is the ratio of the estimated benefits (in dollars) of a mitigation project divided by the estimated mitigation project cost. Values greater than 1.0 represent potentially viable projects.

Wet Floodproofing

Cost per Square Foot *Required

Square Feet *Required

Wet floodproofing applies measures to prevent and resist structural damage to your home while allowing floodwaters to enter. Wet floodproofing is not practical for portions of the home used for living space; therefore, it is usually used to limit damages to basements, crawlspaces, or attached garages.

Relocation

Change the price and quantity, then click Calculate to see your new cost.

Cost per Square Foot *Required

Square Feet *Required

Relocation is moving a structure out of a flood hazard area.

Utility Elevation

Cost per Unit *Required

One-time

Utility Elevation raises utilities and electrical panels above Base Flood Elevation (BFE). Costs associated with utility elevation include relocation of HVAC equipment, duct work, and all connections. Utility elevation does not include construction of new storage closets or replacement utility systems.

Elevation

Cost per Square Foot *Required

Square Feet *Required

Elevating your home above the potential floodwater height can significantly reduce your risk, but knowing just how high you need to go is essential for this strategy to be effective. Elevation height should be at least one foot above Base Flood Elevation (BFE), though extra height is recommended.

Mitigation Reconstruction

Cost per Square Foot *Required

Square Feet *Required

Mitigation reconstruction projects include demolition of an existing home and rebuilding it according to the local building code, floodplain management, and zoning requirements. It is only permitted if traditional structure elevation cannot be implemented.

Dry Floodproofing

Dry floodproofing can be used where flooding is expected to be less than three feet deep. It makes a house watertight below the level that needs flood protection so that floodwaters cannot enter.

Sprayed-on Cement is projected onto a surface at high velocity using a hose. It can be impacted onto any type or shape of surface and is an effective sealant.

Waterproof Membranes are installed along the exterior surface of a wall. They can be installed relatively quickly; however, they cannot remain in place indefinitely and will deteriorate with continued exposure to the sun.

Asphalt is applied directly to the outside surface of a house's walls. It functions as a sealant to prevent leakage in dry floodproofed homes.

Drainage Lines around the perimeter of a structure allow flood waters to more effectively flow away from the area.

Plumbing Check Valves allow liquid to flow through them in only one direction. They prevent backed up water or sewage from draining back into a house.

A Sump Pump is a pump used to remove water that has accumulated in a water-collecting sump basin, commonly found in the basement of homes.

Metal Flood Shields are typically used to create watertight seals over medium to large openings in building walls. They are more expensive than wood flood shields, but they are also sturdier.

Wood Flood Shields are typically used to close medium to large openings in building walls. They are cheaper than metal flood shields, but are not as sturdy.

Levees & Floodwalls

Component	Cost per Unit	Units	# of Units
Levee Riprap *Required		Sq.Ft. *Required
Interior Drainage System *Required		One Time
Closure (each) *Required		Sq.Ft. *Required
Seeding of Disturbed Area *Required		Sq.Ft. *Required

Levees & Floodwalls are types of constructed flood protection barriers.

A Levee Riprap is the layering of rocks (angular rocks generally being preferred) along a threatened area to counteract the constant wearing away of land brought about by repetitive hyrdologic activity.

An Interior Drainage System collects water that seeps through the seals on a house during a flood. The system usually includes a sump pump and an emergency power source that allows operation during an outage.

Closures work in conjunction with waterproof membranes to seal off openings in walls. Closures can be either temporary or permanent, and many have rubberized seals and other components that require periodic maintenance.

Seeding of Disturbed Area Areas that have been disturbed by floodproofing should be seeded in order to control erosion and re-stabilize the area.

Mitigation options and cost effectiveness are based on known and estimated values for each building. This data should be used for informational purposes only. Users are advised to consult a flood mitigation professional for a more detailed analysis.

North Carolina Emergency Management has developed an online application (FIMAN) to provide citizens with near real time flood inundation, impacts and alerting for selected areas of the state. Within the FIMAN application, users can sign up for alerts if current or forecasted conditions reach flood levels.

Please use the slider bar below to adjust the reach distance from your selected location for available flood inundation and warning sites. For more information about each site, click on the site name and you will be redirected to the FIMAN site.

There are {{filtered.length}} flood alert gauges within {{GageRangeSliderModel}} miles of you.
