The Inland Flooding Project was designed to support inland communities, watershed groups, emergency managers and others in monitoring and documenting the rapidly changing conditions in Maine’s most flood prone and vulnerable inland areas.
The project's goals include:
- Identifing and documenting high-risk and repetitive damage areas, extreme weather damages, the extent and duration of flood conditions in flood prone areas, vulnerable and often underserved neighborhoods, roads, and other infrastructure in communities
- Mitigation of personal and community property loss through more informed land-use planning
- Integration of project data with National Weather Service and other sources for a more comprehensive understanding of flood damages and community impacts
- Improvement of Oxford County’s Hazard Mitigation Plan which in turn will facilitate access to future funding opportunities and reimbursement programs
- A “living” compendium of stories pertaining to the social and emotional impacts of flooding events–stories of personal and community-wide hardship; tales of loss, determination, innovation, heroism and more
