HAZARDS OF LARGE UPLAND FLOODSThe extent of damage caused by any flood depends on thetopography of the area flooded, depth and duration of flooding,velocity of flow, rate of rise and developments in the flood plain.An Intermediate Regional or Standard Project Flood on South Creek,North Creek, Catfish Creek, Clower Creek, EI ligraw Bayou, and MathenyCreek would result in inundation of residential, commercial, andagricultural sections in the study area. Deep floodwater flowingat high velocity and carrying floating debris would create conditionshazardous to persons and vehicles attempting to cross floodedareas. In genera I, floodwater three or more feet deep and f low i ngat a velocity of three or more feet per second could easi Iy sweepan ,'cult person off his feet, thus creating definite danger of injuryor drowning. Rapidly rising and swiftly flowing floodwatermay trap persons in homes that are ultimately destroyed, or invehicles that are ultimately submerged or floated. Waterlinescan be ruptured by deposits of debris and the force of floodwaters,thus creating the possibi I Ity of contaminated domestic water suppiies. Damaged sanitary sewer I ines could result in the pollutionof floodwaters, creating health hazards. Isolation of areas byfloodwater could create hazards in terms of medical, fire, or lawenforcement emergencies.Flooded areas and flood damages - The areas in SarasotaCounty covered by this report that would be flooded by the StandardProject Flood are shown on plate 2, which is also an index map toplates 3, 4, and 5. Areas that would be flooded by the IntermediateRegional and Standard Project Floods are shown in detai I on plates 3through 5. The actual I imits of these overflow areas may vary somewhatfrom those shown on the maps because the contour interval andscale of the maps do not permit precise plotting of the flooded21- . ..._ .. 00.''._. _
