CMAP has developed a <\/SPAN>Stormwater and Flooding strategy paper<\/SPAN><\/A>, which will inform the recommendations made in ON TO 2050 to address urban and riverine flooding. The paper presents strategies to reduce flooding impact throughout the region by integrating stormwater management into transportation and land use planning, alongside analysis of damages from past flooding events. <\/SPAN><\/P>

To help direct these strategies, CMAP has developed urban and riverine Flooding Susceptibility Indexes (FSIs) to identify priority areas across the region for flooding mitigation activities. GIS datasets representing flood susceptibility factors were used to construct the indexes, by assessing each factor\u2019s influence using a GIS-based frequency ratio approach. <\/SPAN>The approach, inputs, and results are described in greater detail in the technical appendix of the <\/SPAN>strategy paper<\/SPAN><\/A>. The values contained within the raster attribute table represent low (1) to high (10) flood susceptibility. The inputs are listed below, alongside their sources:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>
