BZjoe

This document summarizes efforts to collect high water mark data and map flood inundation following severe flooding in May 2009 in the Town of Martin, Kentucky. Teams used GPS and surveying equipment to record high water marks along 500-foot intervals. The data was processed into a database and used to create maps showing flood depths and the areas impacted. The process provided valuable information for flood recovery and redevelopment efforts in the town.
