Project Updates
Project Description
The objective of the Flood Risk Project is to develop and/or support flood hazard data and program-related tasks through completing technical floodplain study and mapping activities. These activities are intended for incorporation as new or updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for one or more communities within the project area.
The FEMA mapped floodplains for the Sabino Creek and Bear Canyon Wash do not reflect true flood risks. The data from the United States Geologic Survey stream gage (09484000) and the Pima County ALERT gage (1163) indicate the FEMA regulatory discharge (1 percent annual chance runoff) is too low. Furthermore, the current SFHA boundaries as shown on FIRM panels 04019C 1715 Land 1720 M do not fit within topographic boundaries. New Flood Risk Products are needed to revise current effective FIRMs.
