Abstract:
When used properly, the term “100-year flood” means there is a 1-in-100, or 1 percent, chance of a flood occurring in a certain area in any given year. This is the flood standard scientists use to predict floods. The North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program provides online tools for viewing flood-hazard areas, and to help communities be prepared.
