ABSTRACT
using
digital elevation models and compared to 1% probability flood zones from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The 1% probability flood is typically used for flood zone management. The results indicate that digital elevation models and GIS can be used to identify roads that would be flooded by the 1% probability flood comparable to roads found on existing flood zone maps.
