| 452 | 1093 | City of Atlanta | Atlanta | USA | North America | Public | 2017 | Rain storm | Flood mapping | Flooding after rain storms is the most frequent and costly natural disaster in Atlanta. A multi-year project by the State of Georgia to re-examine Atlanta’s flood risks and develop detailed, digital flood hazard maps was completed in 2014. The Atlanta City Council enacted legislation in 2013 to create two major categories of floodplains for regulatory purposes: (1) traditional floodplains, (i.e. along a river or creek system) and (2) historically modified floodplains. Floodplains located outside the area served by the City’s combined sewer system are considered Traditional Floodplains. Historically modified floodplains are areas in a combined sewershed in which significant portions of the historic “natural” stream have been enclosed in a pipe and are subject to periods of severe ponding.http://www.atlantawatershed.org/floodplain-ordinance/ The new maps – known as Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs) – reflect flood risks. As a result, you and other property owners throughout the City will have up-to-date, reliable, Internet-accessible information about your flood risk, on a property-by-property basis. | (33.7489954°, -84.3879824°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |

The city’s Flood Control Ordinance carries restrictions on construction in the 100-year floodplain and the expansion of existing uses in that floodplain. The city’s Wellfield Control Ordinance attempts to safeguard drinking water sources in the city’s wellfields by requiring numerous conditions on development and by requiring review of development plans by groundwater professionals. The city’s Comprehensive Plan includes an Environmentally Sensitive Areas map that identifies steep slopes of 10% or more in order to prevent slides caused, in part, by inundation.
