Inundation Map

---

Another significant product which utilizes real-time ESP output data is a flood inundation map.
The inundation map depicts the probabilities that specific areas will be flooded during the identified event at a specific period.

The inundation map is based on the best digital elevation model (DEM) data available.
As DEM of greater resolution and accuracy become available, that data can be used with ESP to produce a more accurate flood inundation map which can then be used in NWS hydrologic forecasts.
