Wake County Hazard Mitigation Plan

ANNEX B: CITY OF RALEIGH

Figure B.3 reflects the effective mapped flood hazard zones for the City of Raleigh, and Figure B.4 displays the depth of flooding estimated to occur in these areas during the 1%-annual-chance flood. To supplement the IRISK assessment of property at risk from the 1% annual chance flood event in Section 4 and provide a clearer picture of the current property at risk in the City of Raleigh, current parcel data was evaluated to identify parcels developed since 2010. Using GIS analysis, parcels developed after 2010 were compared to the boundaries of the 1% annual chance floodplain to identify the exposure of newly developed property to the base flood. For parcels where updated building footprints were available, the parcel was considered exposed only if the building intersected the floodplain boundary, otherwise, a parcel was considered exposed to the floodplain if any portion of the parcel was located in the floodplain This assessment does not evaluate flood impacts or provide damage estimates. However, this summary of development in or near the floodplain since 2010 provides some context to understand the degree to which the IRISK exposure and vulnerability numbers differ from current conditions. Table B.12 provides a summary by land class of parcel development located in the 1% annual chance floodplain from January 2011 to April 2019.
