Flood Risk Monitoring and Mitigation, Even Far Inland
This presentation will give an overview of how flood water gets into buildings and what buy-and-hold investors should do about it. We will 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 will teach the trends with:
- Rainwater,
- River overflow,
- Storm surge, and
- Base sea level rise
This presentation will be highly relevant for inland owners. We are going to be focused 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 will also be covered.
We will then evaluate different sources for flood risk data and warnings, including:
- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) resources
- REALTOR.com Flood Factor™ (speaker has no affiliation, this will
be a third party appraisal) - Weather apps
Attendees will leave knowing 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.
