Flood Depth—Damage Curves By Interview Survey
Publication: Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management
Volume 114, Issue 6
Abstract
Results of interview surveys for potential flood damages are used to develop depth—damage curves for structural and content groupings and alternative residence types. Statistical significance tests are used to collapse 28 structural categories into seven basic groups. The exterior of the residence is demonstrated to not necessarily be a good indicator of the potential flood damage to the contents. Use of average curves are recommended except in the very obvious circumstances of very low and/or very high valued residences.
