ESRI Online Hazard Maps The National Flood Insurance Program Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Business Continuity Plan Listed Alphabetically By Organization Name

ESRI Partners with FEMA for Project Impact; Now You Can Create Your Own Online Hazard Maps! Through the Project Impact initiative, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and ESRI have formed a National Partnership in part aimed at providing multi-hazard maps and information to U.S. residents, business owners, schools, community groups, and local governments via the Internet. The information is intended to assist in building disaster resistant communities across the country by sharing geographic knowledge about local hazards. Maps can be created based on Zip Code, City and State, or Congressional District. Select from hazard types — Flood, Earthquake, Hail Storm, Hurricane, Tornado, and Wind Storm — to help you determine the disaster risks in your community.

Be Flood Alert: Visit the National Flood Insurance Program Site According to the Federal Insurance Administration, although flood insurance is relatively inexpensive, most Americans neglect to purchase protection. Only about one-quarter of the homes in areas most vulnerable are insured against flood loss. In those areas, flooding is 26 times more likely to occur than a fire during the course of a typical 30-year mortgage. More than 19,000 communities have agreed to stricter zoning and building measures to control floods, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Residents in these communities are entitled to purchase flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a program FEMA oversees.
