Potential uses for this map include: (Pre-event uses) Identification of the extent of inland flooding from the storm using predictive SWEL developed by the SLOSH models; Identification and ranking of census blocks that are likely to be damaged in the predicted hurricane event; Identification of staging areas for pre-position of response personnel, supplies and other resources; Identification of areas that may experience heavy damage to bridges and general building stock, conditions that could increase shelter requirements and the demand for disaster assistance; (Post-event uses) Identification of bridges that should be inspected; Identification of streets that may be impassable; Identification of damaged areas in the study region that have a high probability of generating shelter needs and requirements for debris removal; and Identification of of areas that can be targeted for mitigation programs, including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP).
