Flood and Coastal Storm Damage Surveys

The Corps of Engineers uses public surveys for collecting data for planning, formulation, and evaluation of projects. Flood damage surveys are administered to determine the impacts and potential impacts of flooding and to determine how communities, residents, and businesses respond to flooding. The data are used for estimating damage and associated costs of flooding. Damage estimation models are calculated and used to estimate the cost of flooding and to evaluate the benefits of alternative flood mitigation plans, which are critical to determining the feasibility of flood risk management projects. Results of surveys will help communities to better determine and communicate their flood risks. The models are also used for programmatic evaluation of the Army Corps of Engineers’ National Flood Risk Management Program.
