In this study, nine different types of essential facilities in the state Iowa (such as hospitals, fire stations, schools, etc.) were analyzed on a county level terms flood depth, functionality and restoration time after flooding, damage sustained during flooding. These also their location relative to 100 y 500 zones. Results show that number within extent reached up 39%, scenario all but one six chosen counties lost 100% facilities. Most found have depth 1 4 ft deep 480 days. The purpose study is bring awareness decisionmakers regarding risk flooding events pose highlight increasing dangers broader scale.
