4 Coastal Flood Hazard Map (Yangon), Flood scale: 100-year flood & Cyclone Nargis (3rd Version) This hazard map shows areas that would be flooded in the event when the 100-year flood#1 and storm surge as a result of cyclone Nargis occurs in Yangon. It also shows the depth of flooding. Information of area and depth of inundation can be used for evacuation and land use planning. Please note that the areas not marked as inundated on this map may be inundated subject to weather conditions. Prepared on 12 December 2016 #1: A 100-year flood is a flood that has a 1 in 100 (1 percent) chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year and it has an average recurrence interval of 100 years (Source: USGS) Contact Director of Hydrological Division, DMH Deputy Director of Water Quality and GIS & Remote Sensing Section, DMH Assistant Director of Water Quality and GIS & Remote Sensing Section, DMH Phone: Description of Legend *1 Water depth In selecting a color for each category of water depth in this Hazard Map, ISO (Societal Security) is used as reference. *2 Symbols School: Middle-School, High-school, University Public building: Museum, Region Court, City Hall, Post Office Transportation: Bus Terminal, Railway Station, AirPort Religious Facilities: Pagoda, Zedi (Buddhist stupa), Temple, Monastery, Muni, Thar, Church, Chapel Geographical Coordinate System : WGS84 1:100,000 Map data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors
