Map of Extreme Flood Events

An interesting Flash-based map of places affected by “extreme flood events” since 1985 (with incomplete or missing data from some years) from the Dartmouth Flood Observatory, which tracks such things. Via Vector One.

In the days immediately after Hurricane Katrina, I had several calls and emails in to the Dartmouth Flood Observatory, hoping to get some data from them on in regard to work we were doing as a contractor with the USEPA Emergency Operations Center - but unfortunately they never so much as acknowledged my inquiry - much less provide a response.

If the data’s not available, fine - say so - but to not even respond in any fashion was frustrating, to say the least.
