Very High Flood Risk
This property has the following hazard flood risk from extreme rainfall:
Very High Flood Risk
Take proactive flood protection measures
This property is in a region with increasing intensity and frequency of heavy rainfall. It's important to prepare for extreme weather events and the possibility of flooding. Refer to your Scorecard.
Why this matters:
The flood risk for this property has been assessed by NOAH using advanced climate risk modelling. Through physics-based computer simulations, NOAH evaluated how rainfall interacts with the property's municipal drainage systems—both today and over future time horizons (5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 years), accounting for projected increases in extreme weather. NOAH's platform combines civil engineering expertise with hydraulic modeling to analyze the capacity of local stormwater and sewer infrastructure. NOAH's Flood Risk Scorecard is powered by GIS data, digital elevation models, road networks, and detailed municipal infrastructure records.
NOAH's Flood Risk Scorecard summarizes factors affecting FLOODING HAZARDS that increase the chance of damage to the property or that could create unsafe conditions during a flood. Flood scores below 75 indicate that flood risks should be considered. Increased FLOOD RESILIENCY is highly recommended. Refer to the FLOOD RESILIENCY section below to understand how the score for this property can be improved.
Scoring Breakdown:
The overall score (out of 100) is divided into two main components:
Scoring Legend:
Flood velocity is the force of moving water on people and structures. Water velocity over 0.75 m/s can easily destabilize children or ederly. Over 1.5 m/s will cause most adults to lose footing. Over 2.0 m/s is considered highly dangerous and can sweep away cars and small structures.
NOAH's modelling predicts this property could experience flooding up to 0.8m, approaching chest height and increasing structural damage risk. This flood depth creates issues with evacuation and outdoor pedestrian movement. Significant flood damage is likely with some potential for structural damage. Evacuation by standard automobiles is likely impossible. A flood response strategy is required.
Subject PropertyFlood hazards are assessed by considering the combined depth and velocity (DV). For most modeled events, this property's D*V rating is high enough that a risk to property occupants is present.
The scores above compare this property's flood hazard to the average and most common score across all properties served by the same stormwater infrastructure in this area of the city.
A changing climate will impact this property's flood score over time. Under a "business as usual" (RCP 8.5) scenario, the NOAH flood score is projected to change from 23 to 11.
