Flood Depth and Analysis Grids See the FRD for the following depth and analysis grid data (Section 2 of the FRR provides general information regarding the development of and potential uses for this data): Wave Height Grids (1-percent-annual-chance flood events) Additional information and data layers provided within the FRD should be used to further isolate these and other areas where flood mitigation potential is high. The FRD includes data which may be helpful in planning and implementing mitigation strategies. Properties located in areas expected to experience some depth of water should seriously consider mitigation options for implementation. Hazus Estimated Loss Information The Town of Rockport’s flood risk analysis uses results from a FEMA-performed Hazus analysis which accounts for newly modeled areas in the Flood Risk Project and newly modeled depths for certain flood events. Potential losses were compared with locally provided tax data to estimate loss ratios for multiple scenarios. Additional information and data layers provided within the FRD should be used to further analyze potential losses and areas where they are likely to occur.
