      Shallow flooding is mapped based on historic flood experiences and a study of the topography. In some areas, the techniques used for riverine studies are used. The result will either be a BFE or a base flood depth (in feet above the ground). A shallow flooding study usually produces data for the base flood but not for the 10-year or other floods.

      Flood risk areas in the US are generally defined by the 100-year flood—an event that is expected to have a 100-year recurrence interval and, thus, a 1% chance of occurrence in any given year. It is important to understand that these extreme events are essentially independent, so it is possible for a community to experience two 100-year floods ...
