Carmacks Flood Hazard Maps for Annual Exceedance Probability Scenarios

Flood hazard maps for Carmacks, Yukon, produced by the Government of Yukon. The mapping study was completed between April 2023 and May 2024. The maps depict flood scenarios for three Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) levels: 0.5%, 1%, and 5%.

Use Cases

• Model flood risk for infrastructure planning based on the defined Annual Exceedance Probability scenarios.
• Create emergency response plans using the geospatial flood extent maps.
• Analyze historical flood likelihood for insurance and zoning purposes based on the 1-in-200, 1-in-100, and 1-in-20 chance events.

Strengths

• Includes GIS data files (SHP, FGDB/GDB) for spatial analysis.
• Provides flood maps for three specific probability scenarios (0.5%, 1%, 5%).
• Project completed between April 2023 and May 2024, indicating recent data.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
