FLOOD RISK AND INUNDATION MAPPING Helping communities take action—before, during and after the storm.

The world’s most abundant and vital resource is also its most powerful. An excess of water can destroy infrastructure, threaten communities and endanger lives. Knowing where floodwaters will go and what they will impact helps communities plan for potential flooding in an intelligent, intentional way. With our suite of comprehensive flood risk and inundation mapping services, WSP helps safeguard communities from disastrous flooding before, during and after flood events. Our lifecycle solutions include: ■ Mapping flood inundation to aid homeowners in the purchase of flood insurance. ■ Identifying flood risk in support of community hazard mitigation projects. ■ Developing real-time mapping websites and emergency evacuation plans to help decision makers respond during active flood emergencies.

■ Identifying areas affected by flooding to assist with rebuilding and recovery. ■ Projecting increases in flood risks and planning for a resilient future.
