Today is a big day for Intermap and for InsitePro — we are releasing FloodScope™ USA, the only flood model available that is built on a contiguous, manually-edited digital terrain model (DTM) for the lower 48 states and Hawaii.
As I've discussed before, elevation data is a key input into any flood model, so the ability to leverage a high quality DTM at full resolution is a significant achievement. Starting today, insurers can use flood zone determinations as a part of their analytics to better understand the risk of river flooding.
