USDA Risk Management Agency Crop Insurance Payments
Table 3.71 provides total crop insurance payments and annualized crop insurance payments for
flood damage in Region L over the 10-year period from 2002 to 2011. The USDA does not
differentiate damages from riverine flooding and flash flooding. These losses include combined
losses for both types of flooding. The crop exposure value from the 2007 Census of Agriculture
is provided to provide the basis for an annualized ratio of insurance payments to total value.
Please note that this data only applies to insured crops. According to the 2011 Kansas Crop
Insurance Profile Report issued by the USDA Risk Management Agency 82 percent of Kansas’
row crops were insured in 2011. The crop exposure values have not been adjusted in the table
below:

HAZUS MH 2.1 100-year Food Scenario
The results of the HAZUS analysis were utilized to estimate potential losses for riverine flooding.
The intent of this analysis was to enable the planning area to estimate where flood losses could
occur and the degree of severity using a consistent methodology. The HAZUS model helps
quantify risk along known flood-hazard corridors as well as lesser streams and rivers that have
a drainage area of 10 square miles or more.
