📊 Environmental Assessment Report
This comprehensive report analyzes both flood risk and industrial pollution exposure for this property. The assessment combines multiple data sources including USGS elevation, FEMA flood zones, historical storm modeling, and EPA Toxic Release Inventory records.
🌊 Part 1: Flood Risk Analysis
Property Overview
This section shows the fundamental characteristics of the property, including its elevation above sea level, FEMA flood zone designation, and our calculated overall flood risk rating based on historical data and topographic analysis.
Risk Assessment Outputs
These detailed metrics show the technical outputs from our flood risk model. They include predicted water depths at the property during a 5000-year flood event and estimated flood damage based on USACE methodology.
Flood Simulation
This simulation shows whether the property would flood based on a 5000-year flood event with 3m (9.84ft) water level. Use the interactive tool to explore different scenarios.
Severity: Safe
Adjust Flood Simulation
The analysis above uses default settings (5000-year flood, 3m/9.84ft water level). To explore different flood scenarios with interactive maps, return to the main tool:
Open Interactive Analysis ToolFlood Risk Recommendations
Based on the property's flood risk profile, here are specific action items to consider.
- FEMA Zone X (minimal hazard) - flood insurance available at preferred rates.
- Review the interactive flood simulator to understand how different rainfall events could affect this property.
- Contact Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) for drainage projects and flood information.
🏭 Part 2: Industrial Pollution Exposure
≈ 6 dump trucks of chemicals within 2 miles
❤️ Why It Matters
High chemical activity nearby can indicate industrial zones, truck traffic, or potential odor and noise issues. These factors may affect air quality, long-term property desirability, and neighborhood character. This data helps you understand the industrial footprint around your property.
