First Floor Elevation Mapping

GIS Map of first floor elevations for Key Allegro, Texas

Marine Weather and Climate specializes in First Floor Elevation (FFE) Mapping. FFE levels vary considerably in most flood-prone communities from variations in both ground elevation and the height of buildings above ground. We use every source of data available, including field surveys, elevation certificates, street view analysis, drone flyovers and more.


Comprehensive Flood History

Marine Weather and Climate specializes in creating comprehensive flood histories for flood-prone communities. We utilize every scrap of available information, including historic photos and videos, scientific reports, newspaper articles, diaries, journals and high water marks. We also do field work before, during and after flood events to document present-day floods.
