Schuylkill River Basin Post Hurricane Agnes Flood Damage Survey.

Abstract

Hurricane Agnes and the resulting rains struck eastern Pennsylvania on June 23, 1972 causing extensive flooding. In August 1972, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District contacted a consulting engineering firm for a post flood damage study of the entire Schuylkill River Basin in southeastern Pennsylvania. Data was collected from various municipal authorities and experts in the fields of railroads, highways, and utilities. Cost data is provided for each municipality near streams in the effected area plus data on intangible damages due to the water and the flood effects on sewage systems. (Author)
