Flood maps allow governments to identify local areas which are at risk of flooding. Early knowledge of these areas helps them to build safely and resiliently. Flood maps provide a good foundation for efficient flood-risk management.
Highly accurate flood maps created by Magnasoft have been helping governments of different countries to draw up efficient flood-risk management plans. These plans have helped them in building resiliently, preventing flood damages and facilitating rescue operations in a more effective manner.
A Flood map identifies areas which are at risk of flooding. These maps provide a solid foundation for highly efficient flood-risk management.
Flood maps are important because they inform the community about the local flood risks. These maps help in setting minimum floodplain standards helping the communities to build safely and resiliently. Flood maps largely help in land administration and management. They help in determining the cost of flood insurance, thereby helping property owners to financially protect themselves against flooding.
Magnasoft leverages on LiDAR to generate models which offer accurate and quick solutions for flood mapping. These highly accurate maps are used land administrators and developers to determine if an area is at risk of flooding. These maps also help insurers to determine flood insurance premiums in areas where flood insurance exists. The creation of flood maps usually combines topographic data with historic or modeled information. This allows for water level determination and shows how this water could flood inland under extreme conditions.
