Loss Avoidance Studies
In response to past flooding in Milwaukee County, local governments within the county acquired and demolished 54 repetitively damaged properties. FEMA partnered with the State of Wisconsin to complete a loss avoidance study. Five project areas were studied: the City of Wauwatosa, two areas in the City of Milwaukee, and the villages of Brown Deer and Oak Creek.Because of frequent flooding in Wisconsin, a number of flood mitigation projects involving acquisition/demolition have been implemented in recent years along the Rock, Fox, and Kickapoo Rivers. To evaluate the mitigation projects for cost-effectiveness, FEMA partnered with the State to conduct a loss avoidance study. The intent of the study was to compare the losses avoided in all floods since the implementation of the mitigation projects to the cost of the mitigation projects.
