Energy Infrastructure and FEMA National Flood Hazard

EIA has a new mapping system that illustrates our energy assets in the context of flood risk - link.  Gets at several key questions that engineers and managers need to be looking at.  What specifically is at risk and what is the level of risk and the consequences of the risk?  What can be done to minimize the risk and what is the cost?  How resilient is the infrastructure - how long will it take a power plant to get back on line after an extreme weather event?  What can be done to speed up this progress?
