Catastrophic Urban Flood Plan
Wednesday October 9, 2024 4:30pm - 5:00pm EDT
Russell
Louisville Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) has been awarded funding through the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to develop an updated Catastrophic Urban Flood Plan (CUFP) for the City of Louisville, which includes development of mitigation strategy through assessing cascading infrastructure dependencies. Arcadis is working alongside MSD staff to develop an online geospatial web application that highlights the cascading effect and interdependencies of critical infrastructure for emergency management stakeholders. The application will provide first responders an understanding of critical infrastructure, such as hospitals, wastewater treatment plants, and other facilities that would be immediate priorities in a flooding event. Attendees will take away insight to the development of the City of Louisville’s CUFP and how they will utilize the geospatial web application in the event of a dam or levee failure.
