From simple &#8220;How-to&#8221; Recipe Cards to fact sheets and even recorded tutorials, these products can help you pair your local data with our Flood Risk Data to develop flood risk assessments and communication tools for your community. <\/p>\n<p>Learn how to pair your local data with FEMA Flood Depth Grid data in our Virtual Brown Bag series on Tuesday, September 29th.<br \/>\nSpace is limited. Be sure to register for this session on EventBrite by noon on September 28th to receive the webinar call in information.  <\/p>\n<p>Flood Depth Grids illustrate how deep water may be during a major flood event, referred to as the 1% annual chance flood. Knowing flood depth at a given location can help officials identify high flood risk areas and communicate flood risk in simple terms. Additionally, Flood Depth Grids can help communities identify structures for elevation, advance recovery planning and disaster preparedness, and more. <\/p>\n<p>Sign up now through EventBrite and view the schedule here: https:\/\/r6virtualbrownbag.eventbrite.com<\/p>\n<p>This tutorial is intended for technical staff (GIS), Emergency Managers, Planners, Floodplain Administrators, and local officials. You will be able to see live demonstrations, ask questions, and learn how to pair this data with your community\u2019s data to develop flood risk assessments and communication tools.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss the rest of our Virtual Brown Bags on other useful products.
