Summary

This data release is comprised of digital floodplain boundaries for a 6-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River near Jaite, Ohio. Digital flood-inundation maps for a nearly 6-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River at Jaite, Ohio, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Board of Trustees. Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated to the current stage-discharge relation at the U.S. Geological Survey streamgage Cuyahoga River at Jaite, Ohio (station number 04206425). The hydraulic model was then used to compute total water-surface profiles for flood stages ranging from 6 to 20 ft. The simulated [...]

Purpose

The initial target audience is the state and local agencies that must make emergency operational decisions during flooding events. However, since the graphics are easy to view, anyone with an interest during these events can make use of the maps, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), state and local emergency managers, the media, and the general public.
