Chattanooga sits at a bend in the Tennessee River surrounded by mountains and ridges — a geography that funnels flood events into the valley. TVA manages the Tennessee River system and provides significant upstream flood control via Chickamauga Lake, but extreme rainfall events still overwhelm the system. The city experiences severe spring thunderstorms and occasional flash floods from mountain terrain. South Chickamauga Creek has flooded repeatedly, causing significant damage in Brainerd and East Brainerd neighborhoods. Chattanooga's revitalized downtown waterfront development increases exposure of premium property to flood events.
