Figure G.3 reflects the effective mapped flood hazard zones for the Town of Holly Springs, and Figure G.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 Town of Holly Springs, 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. In most cases, a parcel was considered exposed to the floodplain if any portion of the parcel was located in the floodplain.
