General Assessment and
Identification of Planning Needs
Recurrent tidal flooding is becoming increasingly severe with
impacts to
Public and private infrastructure
Transportation system
Economy
Communities are struggling with planning criteria and
resiliency strategy
Sea wall heights
Finished floor elevations
Financing
Implementation plan
Need for comprehensive assess and infrastructure resiliency
plan
Proposed Approach
Rapid assessment and technical assessment to validate
proposed regional standards
Short-term recommendations advanced via:
Ordinance
Land Use Plan
Identify major infrastructure planning and/or data needs
Pumps
Elevated roads as flood barriers
Intracoastal waterway
Marinas
Grey-green infrastructure
Partnership being pursued to support this approach
