INUNDATION MAPS<br />
– Since <strong>the</strong> recent mapping <strong>of</strong> Special Needs persons across <strong>the</strong> island, it was<br />
decided that hazard maps should be created for areas greatly impacted by<br />
natural disasters. A Hazard map was created specific to <strong>the</strong> Charlotteville area<br />
(pilot), showing areas that are prone to landslides, floods and an inundation zone<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>10</strong>0ft. The map shows that many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> special needs persons are found in <strong>the</strong><br />
hazard prone areas.<br />
