The Flooding data layer displays where in Los Angeles County there is high risk of flooding. You can use this data layer to target priority areas to implement stormwater remedies for flood safety.
Flood safety is crucial for protecting humans, ecosystems, and built infrastructure. Floods are a natural part of river and tidal ecosystems, and they help support healthy habitats and soils. Therefore, when designing for flood safety, you should try to minimize the negative impact of floods instead of trying to eliminate them completely.
When you add the Flooding data layer to the map, you will see the following sublayers:
- Flood Zones
1. Flood Zones
