Flood Risk Management

Assessing wind, waves, surge, and currents to understand risks, quantify uncertainties, and develop solutions to mitigate damage

INTERA staff bring the expertise to help reduce damage and protect assets from harm employing structural and non-structural (awareness, forecasting, and warning) solutions. Our experience ranges from improving the accuracy of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps to identifying vulnerable coastal infrastructure and conducting forensic studies to identify causes of coastal infrastructure damage. Through active research programs, we have developed improved methodologies to better design infrastructure to withstand erosion and wave forces. INTERA’s staff also brings experience in conducting county-wide FEMA studies addressing riverine, levee, and coastal flood hazards. Select examples of our flood risk management services are below.

  • river and estuarine modeling
  • coastal process modeling
  • hydrologic modeling
  • storm surge analysis
  • floodplain and inundation mapping
  • flood risk and hazard mapping
  • flood mitigation design and validation

INTERA always delivered on time, going the “extra mile” to satisfy FDOT’s needs. They took ownership of FDOT’s coastal engineering and bridge scour policies, often making needed improvements beyond the needs that I foresaw. They were very reasonable in cost.”

Rick Renna, State Hydraulic Engineer, Florida Department of Transportation

INTERA has extensive knowledge of and experience in surface and groundwater modeling. This, combined with their professionalism and strive to meet project objectives, has resulted in high quality deliverables. It has been a pleasure working with INTERA.”
