    Section 5.4.3: Risk Assessment – Flood

    SECTION 5.4.3: RISK ASSESSMENT – FLOOD 5.4.3 FLOOD This section provides a profile and vulnerability assessment for the flood hazard. HAZARD PROFILE This section provides hazard profile information including description, extent, location, previous occurrences and losses and the probability of future occurrences. Description Floods are one of the most common natural hazards in the U.S. They can develop slowly over a period of days or develop quickly, with disastrous effects that can be local (impacting a neighborhood or community) or regional (affecting entire river basins, coastlines and multiple counties or states) (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2006). Most communities in the U.S. have experienced some kind of flooding, after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms, coastal storms, or winter snow thaws (George Washington University, 2001). Floods are the most frequent and costly natural hazards in New York State in terms of human hardship and economic loss, particularly to communities that lie within flood prone areas or flood plains of a major water source. The FEMA definition for flooding is “a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties from the overflow of inland or tidal waters or the rapid accumulation of runoff of surface waters from any source (FEMA, Date Unknown).” The New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission (NYSDPC) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) indicates that flooding could originate from one

The Princess and “The Gut” 89-01830. Private Donor. Netherlands Royal Family Visit to Albany Photo Collection. Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Mayor Erastus Corning, September, 1959. “The South Mall will be the greatest single governmental office complex history has ever known.” – Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd In September of 1959, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands came to Albany, New York to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s exploratory voyage on the Hudson River at the Hudson-Champlain Celebration. While giving the young royal a tour of downtown Albany, Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller felt embarrassed by the deteriorating South End neighborhood referred to by some as “The Gut,” an area of many dilapidated buildings and vacant structures. Albany Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd told the Knickerbocker News in 1979 that: “Rockefeller thought [the] buildings the Princess and those with her saw were not as good-looking or appropriate for a capital city as he thought they should be.” In an attempt to revitalize Albany and transform it into a city outsiders would deem worthy of being New York’s capital, Rockefeller proposed the construction of a large, modern governmental complex. In order to create this lavish site he envisioned, Rockefeller seized 98.5 acres of land in Albany’s South End through eminent domain in 1962 and demolition soon began. As a result, thousands of families and business owners lost their properties and were forced to relocate.

    Climatological Conditions of Lake-Effect Precipitation Events Associated with the New York State Finger Lakes

    1052 JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY VOLUME 49 Climatological Conditions of Lake-Effect Precipitation Events Associated with the New York State Finger Lakes NEIL LAIRD Department of Geoscience, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva, New York RYAN SOBASH School of Meteorology, University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma NATASHA HODAS Department of Environmental Science, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, New Jersey (Manuscript received 4 June 2009, in final form 11 January 2010) ABSTRACT A climatological analysis was conducted of the environmental and atmospheric conditions that occurred during 125 identified lake-effect (LE) precipitation events in the New York State Finger Lakes region for the 11 winters (October–March) from 1995/96 through 2005/06. The results complement findings from an earlier study reporting on the frequency and temporal characteristics of Finger Lakes LE events that occurred as 1) isolated precipitation bands over and downwind of a lake (NYSFL events), 2) an enhancement of LE precipitation originating from Lake Ontario (LOenh events), 3) an LE precipitation band embedded within widespread synoptic precipitation (SYNOP events), or 4) a transition from one type to another. In com- parison with SYNOP and LOenh events, NYSFL events developed with the 1) coldest temperatures, 2) largest lake–air temperature differences, 3) weakest wind speeds, 4) highest sea level pressure, and 5) lowest height of the stable-layer base. Several significant differences in conditions were found when only one or both of Cayuga and Seneca Lakes, the largest Finger Lakes, had LE precipitation as compared with when the smaller Finger Lakes also produced LE precipitation.
