This webinar explores how the Flood Potential Portal (Yochum et al., 2024) can be used for predicting peak flood discharge magnitudes for infrastructure design and floodplain management. Discover how this innovative framework leverages streamgage records to provide enhanced insight into riverine flood hazards. Learn to use the Flood Potential Portal to explore flood variability across space and time, predict peak discharges at ungaged locations using multiple methods while accounting for climate change and other nonstationarity mechanisms, and perform streamgage flood-frequency analyses using Bulletins 17B and 17C methodologies. These tools are valuable for sizing bridges and culverts, delineating floodplains, and addressing flood risks to support more resilient communities and sustainable natural resources. Master the Flood Potential Method for predicting large flood magnitudes, identify trends in flood characteristics through zonal regression analyses, interpret flood hazard indices to compare flooding across regions, develop strategies to communicate flood hazards effectively to decision-makers, and improve flood management in the context of increasing flood severity and climate change.
