SARA RiskMAP Efforts FY 2012/2013. What is RiskMAP?. Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning Nationwide program – builds on MapMod products Collaboration between FEMA and local communities. RiskMAP Goals. Address gaps in flood hazard data DFIRM, LOMRs, GIS, terrain, etc.

What is RiskMAP? • Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning • Nationwide program – builds on MapMod products • Collaboration between FEMA and local communities
RiskMAPGoals • Address gaps in flood hazard data • DFIRM, LOMRs, GIS, terrain, etc. • Public awareness/outreach • measurable • Hazard Mitigation Planning • Risk-based • Enhanced Digital Platform • Improvement management and distribution of data • Alignment and Synergies • Risk analysis programs, community synergies
FEMA Regions http://www.ncep.noaa.gov/newsletter/current/printable.shtml http://riskmap6.com/Home.aspx
Phases • Watershed Selection – San Antonio River Watershed HUC8 • Discovery – data collection (starting Oct. 2012) • Project selection and meetings • Preliminary map issuance • CCO meeting • Public comment period • Revised preliminary maps issued • LFD, Effective Map issuance • Map maintenance
SARA RiskMAP Tracks • Hazus • H&H • Non-regulatory products
What is Hazus-MH? • FEMA’s methodology for estimating potential losses from disasters • Earthquake, Wind, Flood • Software application • GIS-based • Physical, economic, social impacts
Impacts • Physical • Buildings, schools, critical facilities, infrastructure • Economic • Lost jobs, business interruptions, repair and re-construction costs • Social • Shelter requirements, displaced households, population exposure to hazards
Damage Centers • Identified in Watershed Master Plans • Upper San Antonio River • Salado Creek • Annualized damage estimates • 10-yr, 50-yr, 100-yr, 500-yr flood events • Only consider structural damages • Flood reduction ratios for CIPs • Similar to a benefit/cost ratio • (damage reduction/CIP cost)
Bexar County DFIRM • Effective Sept. 2010 • Detailed Studies – Zone AE’s • Digital Conversions/Redelineations • Zone AE’s • Zone A’s • Limited Detailed Studies – Zone A’s • Approximate Studies – Zone A’s
Potential H&H Deliverables Refined/updated: • Models • Maps (LOMCs) • Data

Draft Natural Channel Design Protocol • Provides guidance on: • Regional curve development • Geomorphic assessments • Natural channel design methods • In-stream structures • Maintenance • Monitoring
Draft Natural Channel Design Protocol • Will be available for download from SARA website • Link will be emailed to ACEC and engineering community • Review period: • September 4 – September 30 • Send comments/questions to: • LeeAnne Lutz, PE • llutz@sara-tx.org • 210-302-3206
