Observed and Predicted Flood-Inundation Mapping and HAZUS-MH Analysis Using the Ravenswood Area of Indianapolis as a Pilot Study Study Area

Ravenswood floods frequently and often damage is incurred Ravenswood floods frequently and often damage is incurred IMA Virginia B. Fairbanks Art and Nature Park in is partially situated in the flood plain: occasional flooding IMA Virginia B. Fairbanks Art and Nature Park in is partially situated in the flood plain: occasional flooding Availability of high-resolution digital elevation data, detailed building inventory data, USGS/NWS data and extensive historic high-water mark and flood elevation data Availability of high-resolution digital elevation data, detailed building inventory data, USGS/NWS data and extensive historic high-water mark and flood elevation data Why Ravenswood?

Approach Compile GIS and HAZUS-MH datasets Compile GIS and HAZUS-MH datasets Calibrate, verify and implement hydraulic model “FastMECH” Calibrate, verify and implement hydraulic model “FastMECH” Automate data retrieval from USGS/NWS and create input files for FastMECH Automate data retrieval from USGS/NWS and create input files for FastMECH Generate a flood grid for a simulated flood and perform a HAZUS-MH analysis Generate a flood grid for a simulated flood and perform a HAZUS-MH analysis Install, test, and implement web and map servers Install, test, and implement web and map servers

Data needs FastMECH FastMECH –Observed and predicted stream-flow and water-surface elevation data (USGS, NWS) –High-resolution digital elevation data HAZUS-MH HAZUS-MH –Observed and predicted flood-inundation maps from FastMECH –Default hazard, inventory and damage information for level 1 analysis and more detailed local information for the level 2 and 3 analyses

Data Flow

USGS provides real-time river stage and streamflow from streamgages USGS provides real-time river stage and streamflow from streamgages NWS uses streamgage data and sophisticated computer models to generate forecasts of stage/streamflow NWS uses streamgage data and sophisticated computer models to generate forecasts of stage/streamflow

NWS data Flow and water-surface elevation forecasts are generated by the NWS River Forecast Centers Flow and water-surface elevation forecasts are generated by the NWS River Forecast Centers Forecasts are based on regional rainfall- runoff relations Forecasts are based on regional rainfall- runoff relations Automated program will download the forecast data (XML) through the NWS Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service Automated program will download the forecast data (XML) through the NWS Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service

FastMECH Two-dimensional hydraulic flow model Two-dimensional hydraulic flow model Allows simulation of long reaches Allows simulation of long reaches Can handle flow regime changes Can handle flow regime changes Output: Water surface (depths), water velocity, flood arrival times Output: Water surface (depths), water velocity, flood arrival times

What is HAZUS-MH? FEMA created tool that helps communities reduce loss to property and life that may result from natural disasters.

Damage Functions Depth of water Damage as % of replacement cost 0 ft 5 ft10 ft15 ft 0% 50% 100% Damage curves are assigned to each building specific occupancy class and each facility Damage curves are assigned to each building specific occupancy class and each facility Curves vary by hazard. This example represents a flood hazard. Over 800 curves – and you can create your own as well!

Levels of Analysis Level 3 Level 2 Level 1 Combinations of local and default hazard, building, and damage data Default hazard, inventory, and damage information Input data hazard specific Required User Effort and Sophistication
