Flood Risks for Homes in Virginia
Coastal cities face risk from rising sea levels and more frequent tidal flooding. Hurricanes and other storms cause erosion and destruction from storm surge. Hampton Roads has worked to enhance existing infrastructure built to protect coastal communities. Inland areas are most often flooded from heavy rainfall. Richmond, VA is particularly flood prone on the James River. It is protected by levees to limit the destruction of infrastructure.
Hurricanes don’t just hit coastal Virginia. In 2018, Hurricanes Florence and Michael tore through central and western areas of the Virginia. During Hurricane Michael, the Dan River region in Virginia alone suffered roughly $12.9 million in damages. Floods aren’t limited to mapped flood risk areas either. In fact, many of the 2,000 homes that were flooded in 2016 during Hurricane Matthew were outside the mapped floodplain.
