We find that individually targeting PFR is more effective than focusing resources on specific high‐risk areas. We investigate opportunities for mitigating flood damages within catchments using PFR and evaluate two targeting strategies: Installing PFR across strategic areas of a catchment and targeting interventions at specific high‐risk properties. We achieve this by evaluating flood risk and intervention targeting strategies across a case study in Bristol (UK) using data types generally available for preliminary option assessment.
In this article, we evaluate property flood resilience (PFR) to manage pluvial and combined tidal/ fluvial flood risks. This paper presents (1) an introduction to ASCE 24 (2) a description of the relationship between the NFIP, the I-Codes and NFPA 5000, and ASCE 24 (3) milestones in the development of ASCE 24 (and ASCE 7) (4) the ASCE 24 provisions that are more specific than the NFIP minimum requirements, and those that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements and (5) a list of the more significant changes between ASCE 24-98 and ASCE 24-05, and a list of possible revisions under consideration for in the next edition. Communities can satisfy the NFIP requirements for participation by adopting building codes and/or floodplain management regulations.
The I-Codes and NFPA 5000 contain provisions that are consistent with NFIP regulations, in large part by references to ASCE 24 and ASCE 7, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations, which are largely performance standards, are the minimum requirements that must be enforced by communities that participate in the program. Since 2000, ASCE 24 has been referenced in model building codes, which include the 2000-2012 editions of the International Code Series (I-Codes) and the 2003-2012 editions of the National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code. The release of the next edition is anticipated in late 2012 or early 2013. ASCE 24-98 was revised in 2005 (ASCE 24-05) and is currently being revised again. Design standards for buildings and structures in flood hazard areas were published for the time in 1998 in the first edition of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) standard Flood Resistant Design and Construction (ASCE 24).
