Understand Your Risks and Stay Prepared

Flood maps aim to include the most up-to-date and precise data to enhance their accuracy in representing the potential risks faced by communities. These maps depict the level of vulnerability of different areas to flooding and assist in determining flood insurance and construction regulations. However, it is important to note that flood maps are not infallible and may require periodic updates. Flood Panel America offers distinctive services tailored to meet the needs of banks and insurance agents involved in property lending. Our services are designed to accommodate property portfolios of all scales and sizes.

Protecting Your Property and Your Future

While FEMA maps may not always be precise or up to date, Flood Panel America offers an improved flood coverage option through our advanced Flood Re-Mapping Program. We can help determine the location of a large development track in relation to flood zones, whether it's inside, outside, or adjacent to them.

Leveraging the expertise of our skilled engineers and flood specialists, our re-mapping services enable us to explore alternative approaches in reevaluating flood insurance policies, providing our company with a competitive advantage.

Using the Latest Technology for Better Accuracy

 

We utilize a technology called LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging. LiDAR employs a pulsed laser to measure the varying distances between objects and the Earth's surface. By combining these light pulses with data collected by airborne systems, we can generate precise three-dimensional information about the Earth's surface and the specific target object or property. This process allows us to create an accurate model of the flood zone and produce detailed maps. In a LiDAR system, a laser emits light that travels towards the ground and reflects off various objects such as buildings and trees. The sensor records the energy of the reflected light and measures the time interval it takes to return. Since conventional methods often fail to produce high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) data, resulting in less accurate flood simulation results, we heavily rely on LiDAR data as a reliable alternative.

The benefits of using LiDAR:

  • High-resolution and centimeter-accuracy capabilities.
  • Detailed elevation information of the ground surface, aiding in predicting flood inundation from rivers and coastal sources.
  • Precise measurements contribute to higher-resolution elevation data for floodplain modeling and offer valuable surface roughness information.
  • Accurate topographic datasets that  play a vital role in predicting flood occurrence and assessing flood risks globally.
