Circle color indicates the number of FEMA flood insurance claims by community. FEMA 100-year flood modeled inundation depths overlain in red, FEMA-reported topographic wetted index reported in light blue. Preliminary HEC-RAS model results, calibrated using community-based monitoring (orange squares for cameras, yellow triangles for pressure transducers) for a 0.5

An objective of the current project is to produce a similar index integrating remote sensing and socio-economic data. The current index shows there are clear spatial patterns with higher multi-hazard risk located in environmental justice communities in Austin.
