Team Activities
Y-K Delta Flood Planning Hazard and Assessment
The Alaska District along with USFWS, Alaska Geospatial Council, Alaska DCRA and the Calista Corporation plans to conduct outreach efforts to support using the National Wetlands Inventory geodatabase in the City of Bethel, Village of Aniak, and the Native Village of Napaimute of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.
Much of Alaska lacks geospatial datasets commonly used for planning and communities and resource managers struggle to adequately plan for, and predict, flood events. This project will include educational outreach for interpreting the data and applying it to planning activities, including at least one webinar and two on-site meetings for community planning departments and other designees who support or prepare local HMPs and other comprehensive plans.
