Objectives Objectives
• To provide an overview of current status of Ocean County’s mapping project status
• To promote community engagement and enhance capability to effectively manage flood risk
• Questions & Feedback from the communities

Risk MAP Program Overview Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) is a new
FEMA program that provides communities with flood information and tools they can use to enhance their mitigation plans and better protect their citizens
The Risk MAP program aims to achieve these goals through new and updated strategies and products that address: Elevation data acquisition Watershed study approach Engineering and mapping Risk assessment, mitigation planning support Risk communications

Ocean County Flood Study - Scope
Incorporation of approximately 11 miles of new detailed riverine and 85 miles of approximate riverine analysis
Restudy of all coastal hazard zones - 45 shoreline miles of detailed coastal analysis
Incorporation of NJFHA boundary (1.25% flood) to the DFIRM maps and Flood Insurance Report (FIS) profiles

Coastal Storm Surge and Overland Wave Hazard Analysis Storm Surge: Analysis of tropical and extratropical
(northeasters) using ADCIRC model and JPM statistical model• Topography and bathymetry complete• ADCIRC mesh is completed• Statistical analysis of storms nearing completion• ADCIRC modeling is currently being validated against historical
storms
Overland Wave Hazard Analysis: Analysis of wave hazards along coastline• Field reconnaissance complete• Obstruction features are near completion using GIS

Coastal analyses are currently ongoing. Transect (Coastal Cross Sections) layouts have been defined. Obstructions have been modeled. Field reconnaissance has been completed
Approximate analysis are underway. Hydrology is being completed
Detailed analysis are underway. Hydrology has been started Countywide LiDAR was acquired during the first weeks of April
and final products are expected to be finalized by Spring of 2011
Awaiting response from communities to the letters sent out in January 21, 2010 regarding data request
