Publication number: 20160055595Abstract: In various embodiments, a flood risk score may be determined for a property point that provides a comprehensive assessment of the property point's risk of flooding. Determining the flood risk score may include determining a flood risk characteristic for the property point and assigning a flood risk score that corresponds to the flood risk characteristic. In some embodiments, flood risk characteristics may include a difference in elevation between the elevation of the property point and an elevation of a calculated point (e.g., on a known flood risk zone boundary). Flood risk characteristics may also include a flood zone determination for the property point and/or proximity of the property point to a known flood risk zone boundary or a flood source. In some embodiments, flood risk scores may be provided on flood risk score reports.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2015Publication date: February 25, 2016Applicant: CORELOGIC SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Mark Charles GREEN, Lee Jason SEARS, Wei DU, Jeff C.
