The flood mitigation costs for flooding that occurred in the year 2015 are also evaluated. A stagedamage curve was arrived at based on the information collected. Optimal and sustainable mitigation measures can be achieved only when the socio\-economic aspects are adequately considered. Thus, this analysis was designed to estimate the effects of flooding on a community\?s social and economic welfare, and thereby help to educate the community, including residents and officials, about the impact and magnitude of flooding. The outputs of the study will be the key inputs for designing flood mitigation and relief measures."]
