Long Island’s first database providing the economic flood risk threatening Long Island communities
The Long Island Regional Planning Council has partnered with LiRo GIS to create a comprehensive database to quantify the economic flood risk threatening Long Island communities.
This GIS (Geographic Information Systems) analysis combines FEMA flood plain data, common landmarks (Highways 27 and 27A/ Merrick Road), and quality-controlled third-party business location data to quantify the Economic Flood Risk threatening Long Island Communities in terms of estimated number of businesses, employees, and sales volume.
