A pretty cool flood project from a few USF engineers. I will add that beyond just the flood maps you also have to think about how you home is situated relative to the land around it.

“Taylor and I are both water resource engineers," website co-creator Ahmed Hamed said. "We run into a lot of people who know they’re in the flood zone but they don’t really know what it means. We thought there’s got to be a better way to convey that information to people."

No Flood Florida’s mission is “to give the people of Florida the power to make informed decisions by organizing Florida’s latest flood data and making it readily available to all its home buyers.”
