¶ Welcome to the Base Level Engineering Homepage for the Upper Susquehanna and Chenango Watersheds!
Your community plays an important role in reducing future flood damages by understanding local flood risk and managing development in flood-prone areas. Base Level Engineering (BLE) data can provide a new opportunity to strengthen these efforts with updated and more accessible flood risk information. Whether your community is already engaged in floodplain management or interested in exploring ways to further mitigate risk, BLE data can help support a proactive approach to reducing flood risk and improving public safety.
BLE can help communities to:
- Better understand areas of flood risk
- Support informed permitting and development decisions
- Identify vulnerable critical infrastructure
- Improve public communications
- Strengthen emergency response activities and evacuation planning
- Plan for safer future growth
We encourage community officials to complete the BLE Outreach Survey using the link below to share input on flood-related risks, challenges, and opportunities in your area.
