FEMA地图低估了7月4日德克萨斯山丘国家发生灾难性洪灾的风险,导致至少120人死亡。 FEMA maps underestimated the risk of catastrophic flooding that hit Texas Hill Country on July 4th, leading to at least 120 deaths. 分析表明,被指定为“特别水灾灾区”或河流洪道的地区特别脆弱,洪水范围超出联邦紧急水务局的估计。 The analysis revealed that areas designated as "special flood hazard areas" or in the river's floodway were especially vulnerable, with floodwaters extending beyond FEMA estimates. 风险模型公司"第一街"指出, 联邦紧急救援局在全国指定的800万户房屋中, 实际上有两倍以上的房屋处于洪水区, First Street, a risk modeling company, suggests that more than double the 8 million homes nationwide designated by FEMA as being in flood zones are actually at risk, due to outdated government models that do not account for extreme weather events.
