Flood Risk Monitoring and Mitigation, Even Far Inland

This presentation offers an overview of how flood water gets into buildings and what buy-and-hold investors should do about it. We focus on the impact climate change is having on the general trend of rainfall and flooding. Previously dry buildings may become moist, wet or flooded over time. We teach the trends with:

• Rainwater,
• River overflow,
• Storm surge, and
• Base sea level rise.

This presentation is highly relevant for inland owners. We focus primarily on rainwater and river flooding, a previously underrated risk for many properties statewide especially in Franklin County. We are all familiar with the risk of coastal flooding, this is also covered.

We then evaluate different sources for flood risk data and warnings, including:

• Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) resources
• REALTOR.com Flood Factor™, and
• Weather apps.

Learn how to:

• Prepare existing properties for water,
• Assess new investments in terms of their flood exposure, and
• Develop and maintain hazardous weather plans to reduce your costs and liabilities.
