commercial properties [tooltip name="flood-localitycommercial" content="" /]

In addition to damage on properties, flooding can also cut off access to utilities, emergency services, transportation, and may impact the overall economic well-being of an area.

infrastructure facilities [tooltip name="flood-localityinfrastructure" content="" /]

homes [tooltip name="flood-localityresidential" content="" /]

miles of roads [tooltip name="flood-localityroads" content="" /]

There are 51,095 properties in Delaware that have greater than a 26% chance of being severely affected by flooding over the next 30 years. This represents 15% of all properties in Delaware.

social facilities [tooltip name="flood-localitysocial" content="" /]

Delaware Flood Risk [tooltip name="flood-communityoverall" content="" /]

Communities that adapt to higher risks can limit damage and lower flood insurance costs. Delaware is already investing in flood risk reduction projects, but more may be needed. <a href="https://riskfactor.com/solutions/flood">Learn more about solutions.</a>

Known adaptation measures [tooltip name="flood-adaptationcount" content="" /]

Properties protected by adaptation [tooltip name="flood-adaptationprotected" content="" /]

Lowering flood risk starts with higher standards. Some places plan to a higher standard (a &#8220;500 year&#8221; standard) that lowers the number of properties at severe risk. Protecting homes to this level would reduce the risk to the 51,095 severely affected properties.

Note: 52,928 properties in this area are protected by an <a href="https://help.riskfactor.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051062333-Adaptation-types">adaptation</a>. While the above projections take into account this reduction, risks may substantially increase in the event of failure.

Deeper floods from major events, like hurricanes, are less likely to occur, but affect more properties than more shallow flood events, like heavy rains.

Properties impacted in Delaware[tooltip name="flood-historicoverall" content="" /]

A changing environment means higher seas, new weather patterns, and stronger storms. As the atmosphere warms, there is more evaporation and more water available when it rains. A warmer atmosphere also means warmer oceans, which can intensify flooding from hurricanes and offshore storms. Sea level rise also increases coastal flood risks, as higher seas mean there’s more water available when high tides and coastal storms cause flooding.

Heat-FeelsLikeTemp

&#8220;Feels like&#8221; temperature is another word for &#8220;heat index&#8221; which is the result of combining air temperature with humidity to describe how heat feels due to the moisture content in the air. This is an important measure of temperature because this felt experience of heat is an important indicator of our bodies&#8217; ability to cool itself and stay safe on hot days.

Heat-HotDayDefined

A hot day is defined by using the 98th percentile &#8220;feels like&#8221; temperature in a specified area, or in other words the lowest daily high temperature on the hottest 7 days in a given year.

Wind-DowntimeDays

The number of days to repair a building from wind damage could be a large range in the case of high-speed events. This is due to the fact that if your property was hit by a major hurricane, and the entire region will be recovering, which will make acquiring labor, supplies, etc much harder. Some properties may receive repairs more quickly than others.

Wind-1in2Defined

This type of event has a likelihood of occurring once every 2 years and typically will see lower wind speeds than a less likely event.

This chart shows this property&#8217;s likelihood of being in a tropical storm event with 3-second wind gusts exceeding 50 mph (39 mph for 1-min sustained winds) over the next 30 years. Risk from higher wind gust speeds or less likely windstorm events can be found in the report below.

Wind-WindFactor

A property&#8217;s Wind Factor indicates its comprehensive risk from high winds over the next 30 years, ranging from 1 (minimal) to 10 (extreme). This score is taking into account risk from hurricane events, tornadoes, tropical storms, and severe wind events. Properties with higher Wind Factors are more likely to experience high winds.

Flood-RecreatedModel

Risk Factor&#8217;s historic data is based on recreated models of flood events and not on recorded levels of flooding. While there may be some slight discrepancies from observed events this methodology meets statistical standards for accuracy and has been validated accordingly. <a href="https://help.riskfactor.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050783973-How-were-historic-floods-recreated-for-Flood-Factor-" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Learn more</a>.

Flood-SliderExplained

Homes with severe flood risk or with 30 year flood risk that is the same as current flood risk may not see any change on the flood projections map.

Fire-EmberCast

Wildfires produce large pieces of burning debris known as embers, which can be carried several miles from an active wildfire by wind and smoke. When flying embers land on a burnable material such as dried fuels or possibly even in a building, it causes fire to spread through a process known as spotting. Ember risk should be considered by owners of at-risk properties and precautionary measures should be taken to further reduce susceptibility.

Fire-MaxFlameLength

The maximum estimated height, or length, of flames at this location based on all fire scenarios where fire reached the largest building on this property.

Fire-AverageFlameLength

The average estimated height, or length, of flames at this location based on all fire scenarios where fire reached the largest building on this property.

Fire-Maps-EmberCast

Fire-SliderExplainedNonresidential

Buildings with 30 year wildfire risk that is the same as current wildfire risk may not see any change on the wildfire risk probability map.

Fire-propertyDetails-defensibleSpace5ft

If there is no vegetation or flammable materials within 5 ft of the building, and the proportion of vegetation or flammable materials within 50 ft of the building is less than 15% then it is low risk.

The estimated change in energy use is based on the change in days required cooling.

Overview-OverallPropertyDetails

Property details can be adjusted within the Pro experience by going to any of the &#8220;Damages&#8221; pages. Adjusting property details will not change the property&#8217;s risk from environmental impacts, as that is based on the property&#8217;s location, but it could impact the damage consequences associated with that risk.

Fire-CompleteDestruction

This shows the likelihood of the structure being completely destroyed if wildfire were to reach it. This takes into account the height of the flame length and the property and building characteristics such as the defensible space and fire proofing upgrades.

Flood-FEMAZone

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood maps are primarily used to determine flood insurance requirements and do not determine a property&#8217;s Flood Factor.

Flood-ConsequencesAnnualizedDamages

Annualized damages are calculated by multiplying the likelihood of a flooding event to happen in a given year by the damage it would cause. As a changing environment makes floods more common and severe, the annual damage forecasted each year goes up.

Flood-ConsequencesbyLikelihood

Flood depth can vary depending on how likely a flood event is to occur. Events that are less likely have the capability to bring higher flood depths than a more likely event.

Flood-ConsequencesbyDepth

Flood depth can vary depending on the severity of the event. This can also impact the potential damages incurred by a property in a flood.

overallDetails-squareFootagePrice

Calculated by dividing the cost of rebuilding this structure (not including contents like furniture or appliances) by the square footage of the structure. For example, a structure with a rebuild cost of $100,000 that is 10,000 square feet will have a price per square foot of $10.
