Johns Island, SC sits in a Tier 1 hurricane wind zone. Properties in this zone could be vulnerable to storm surge that accompany hurricanes. In this section we will review this property’s exposure to floods, including storms surge, riverine and flash floods. We will also detail the property’s damage vulnerability to any realistically occurring flood
Losses from flooding are driven predominantly by these factors:
Distance to flooding source
Ground elevation above flooding source
Height of property ABOVE ground (first or main floor elevation)
Durability of the property to depth and velocity of moving water
Probability of a flood
Severity of a flood
