FLOODING
Areas Flooded by Sandy
Based on Nov. 11, 2012 interim data from the FEMA Modeling Task Force Hurricane Sandy Impact Analysis, which combines detailed elevation data with U.S. Geological Survey inspections of high water marks.
Hurricane Evacuation Zones
Hurricane evacuation zones are the areas of the city that may need to be evacuated due to life safety-related threats from hurricane storm surge. These areas may be inundated by storm surge or isolated by storm surge waters. There are six zones, ranked by the risk of storm surge impact, with zone 1 being the most likely to flood. In the event of a hurricane or tropical storm, residents in these zones may be ordered to evacuate.
FEMA Flood Zones
The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event (100-yr flood), the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event (500-yr flood, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available.
Projected Flood Zones (2020's, 2050's)
Source: New York City Panel on Climate Change, June 2013
These are the high estimate (90th Percentile) of the projections that the New York City Mayor's Office uses. Flood extent timeslices reflect a 10-year average centered around the given decade (i.e., the time period for the 2020s is from 2020-2029), and changes are expressed relative to the baseline period 2000 - 2004. Flood extent projections are rounded to the nearest inch. For a fuller description of this data see
