FLOOD RISK OVERVIEW
Does Edgewater have risk?
Moderate
F L 0 0D
F A C T O R
There are 3,133 properties in Edgewater that have
....................
greater than a 26% chance of being severely
affected by flooding over the next 30 years. This
represents 44% of all properties in Edgewater.
In addition to damage on properties, flooding can
also cut off access to utilities, emergency services,
transportation, and may impact the overall
economic well-being of an area. Overall,
Edgewater has a moderate risk of flooding over
the next 30 years, which means flooding is likely
to impact day-to-day life within the community.
This is based on the level of risk the properties
face rather than the proportion of properties with
risk.

CURRENT PROTECTIONS
Is Edgewater protected from
flooding?
Although flood risk can never be completely
eliminated, communities that adapt to higher
flood risks can limit flood damage and lower flood
insurance costs. Learn more about solutions.

adaptation Q
WHERE TO START
How can communities begin to
protect themselves?
Lowering flood risk starts with higher standards.
Some places plan to a higher standard (a "500
year" standard) that lowers the number of
properties at severe risk. Protecting homes to this
level would reduce the risk to the 3,133 severely
affected properties.

CURRENT & FUTURE RISK
How will Edgewater's risk
change?
Deeper floods from major events, like hurricanes,
are less likely to occur, but affect more properties
than more shallow flood events, like heavy rains.
As Edgewater feels the effects of a changing
environment, however, events of all kinds will
affect more properties within the community.
If a low -likelihood storm resulting in severe
flooding (a 1 -in -100 year flood event), occurred
.............................................
today, it could affect 2,484 properties in
Edgewater. This type of event has a 26% chance
of occurring at least once over the life of a 30 year
mortgage. 30 years from now, an event of this
same likelihood would affect 3,169 properties due
to a changing environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES
Why is risk changing?
A changing environment means higher seas, new
weather patterns, and stronger storms. As the
atmosphere warms, there is more evaporation and
more water available when it rains. A warmer
atmosphere also means warmer oceans, which can
intensify flooding from hurricanes and offshore
storms. Sea level rise also increases coastal flood
risks, as higher seas mean there's more water
available when high tides and coastal storms
cause flooding.

increasing flood risk here.

COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS
What else can communities do?
Individuals, mayors, governors, and Congress can
work together to build protections before
flooding, build back stronger after flooding, and
create plans that future -proof communities.

Green
Green infrastructure is a cost-effective and
sustainable flood management approach that
gathers and removes water at its source.
Grey
Grey infrastructure uses concrete or steel
structures to control flooding. These engineered
structures are costly, take time to build, and
require regular maintenance.

Resilience
Resilience measures are community -wide, non-
structural strategies that help people bounce back
more quickly after floods.

OTHER RISKS
What are my other risks?
In addition to the flooding risk described above,
Edgewater has major risk from wildfires, extreme
