A flood disaster mitigation plan for Historic Madison Incorporated

Abstract

The purpose of this creative project is to assist Historic Madison, Inc. in protecting their historic properties from damage caused by natural disasters. This project provides Historic Madison Inc. information on possible risks to their properties and steps to take in the event of a natural disaster, specifically focused on the risks due to flash flooding and riverine flooding. Additionally, this project will furnish the organization with a disaster mitigation plan and recommendations on mitigation before floods occur, adaptation while floods are occurring, and recovery afterwards. This proposal intends to mitigate future damage to historic properties due to flooding and lay the foundation for future disaster mitigation plans for the remaining buildings not affected by flooding.
