    Section 5.4.6: Risk Assessment – Flood 5.4.6 Flood The following section provides the hazard profile and vulnerability assessment of the flood hazard for Erie County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). 5.4.6.1 Hazard Profile This section provides information regarding the description, extent, location, previous occurrences and losses, climate change projections, and the probability of future occurrences for the flood hazard. Hazard Description Floods are one of the most common natural hazards in the United Many floods fall into three categories: States. They can develop slowly over a period of days or develop riverine, coastal, and shallow (FEMA quickly, with disastrous effects that can be local (impacting a 2007). Other types of floods may include neighborhood or community) or regional (affecting entire river ice-jam floods, alluvial fan floods, dam failure floods, and floods associated with basins, coastlines, and multiple counties or states) (Federal local drainage or high groundwater. Emergency Management Agency [FEMA] 2007). As defined in the New York State (NYS) HMP (NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services [DHSES] 2014), flooding is a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of water on normally dry land caused by the following: • Riverine overbank flooding • Flash floods • Alluvial fan floods • Mudflows or debris floods • Dam- and levee-break floods • Local draining or high groundwater levels • Fluctuating lake levels • Ice jams • Coastal flooding For the purpose of this HMP and as deemed appropriate by the Erie County Steering Committee, riverine, shallow flooding, flash flooding, ice jam, and dam and levee failure flooding are the main flood types of flooding that are of concern to the county.

  • Chapter 2: Watershed Characterization
    REGIONAL NIAGARA RIVER/LAKE ERIE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN - Phase 2 Chapter 2: Watershed Figure 2.1: Aerial photograph of the Niagara River/Lake Characterization Erie Watershed The Niagara River/Lake Erie Watershed is located along the westernmost portion of New York State and drains into Lake Erie and the Niagara River. The Niagara River is the channel that connects two Great Lakes - Erie and Ontario – and divides the U.S. from Canada. The Watershed is highlighted in the aerial photograph shown in Figure 2.1. In total, the watershed encompasses 1,523,515 acres, 5,543 miles of watercourses1, and several small lakes and ponds within Source: Erie County Office of Geographical Information Services Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans and Wyoming counties. Watershed Boundary & Sub-watersheds Within New York State, the Niagara River/Lake Erie Watershed is largely made up of eighteen smaller sub-watersheds (see Figure 2.2 on the following page), each of which has defined boundaries based upon a 10-digit Hydrological Unit Code (HUC). The U.S. Geological Survey established the hydrological unit system as a basis for watershed planning on science-based hydrologic principles, rather than favoring administrative boundaries or a particular agency. The codes are structured in a hierarchy system to identify smaller sub-watersheds nested within larger watersheds. The smaller number of digits correlates to a larger watershed. For instance, there is a 2-digit HUC for each of the twenty-one hydrologic regions in the United States. The Great Lakes (04) covers the entire Great Lakes drainage basin. As the number of digits increases, the area of delineation gets smaller.
