Communities face stormwater flood risk driven by intensified precipitation, sea level rise, storm surge, urban development, and funding challenges.
This presentation introduces a methodology for developing a Stormwater Flood Resilience Plan, providing a roadmap to assess this risk and implement optimal, equitable, and actionable flood mitigation solutions. Seven phases are described:
- Flood Mapping
- Layered Flood Exposure Analysis
- Defining Level-of-Service Criteria
- Gap Analysis and Prioritization of Project Areas
- Conceptualize Projects and Estimate Costs
- Benefit-Cost-Analysis and Project Selection
- Funding, Implementation, and Program Adaptation.
Each phase leverages innovative tools and methods to create actionable outcomes.
