25 Year Flood Hazard Map

Abstract
This shapefile, with a resolution of 10 meters, illustrates the
inundation extents in the area if the actual amount of rain exceeds
that of a 25 year-rain return period.

Note: There is a 1/25 (4%) probability of a flood with 25 year return

period occurring in a single year. The Rainfall Intesity Duration
Frequency is 153.400mm.

3 levels of hazard:
Low Hazard (YELLOW)
Height: 0.1m-0.5m

Medium Hazard (ORANGE)

Height: 0.5m-1.5m

High Hazard (RED)

Height: beyond 1.5m

Purpose
The flood hazard map may be used by the local government for
appropriate land use planning in flood-prone areas and for disaster
risk reduction and management, such as identifying areas at risk of
flooding and proper planning of evacuation.
