Table 6-11. Summary of Linked Factors for Each Sub-region
Table 6-11 presents some generalized figures for consideration by decision makers tasked with
evaluating the relative flood risks associated with each of the three linked factors for each Subregion.
These figures are not intended to be precise, nor cumulative; but to offer decision
makers a summary view of the relative risks each of the linked factors present to each Subregion.
When a linked factor is high for a Sub-region, relative to other Sub-regions, it means
that the linked factor poses a higher flood risk for that Sub-region. For example, East-1 has a
relatively high Climate Change Factor, yet a relatively low Socio-Economic Factor. This means
that communities in this Sub-region may be significantly affected by climate change, but
population attributes and historic flood loss figures are low and therefore may not make this
