A flood plain risk maps show what areas are at risk for potential flooding.
SALT LAKE CITY — It's safe to say Kathy Holder loves maps. What really has her attention these days, though, are flood plain risk maps.
"There is potentially going to be some flooding. It may be what they call nuisance flooding or some neighborhoods getting some flooding," Holder said. "That is likely to happen a lot more in the near future because of our snowpack."Even the Division of Emergency Management's main office has a picture of Salt Lake City's State Street flooding from that historic year.The biggest difference is growth, which changes the flood plain risk maps.
That is why the maps are constantly updated, because the flood plains are also changing all the time with growth.
