Floods cause significant damage around the world each year. In the U.S., you can get Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) that show the statistical likelihood of flooding in specific areas.

The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) publishes these maps, and the insurance industry uses them to set rates for flood insurance. Figure 12-3 shows a FIRM for a small part of New Orleans, Louisiana.
