Presentation Transcript

  1. Infrastructure Profile • Consider strengths • and vulnerabilities ofthe built environment

  2. Consider vulnerabilities for all types of infrastructure • Transportation • Utilities • Water and wastewater • Housing • Business and commerce

  3. Consider potential vulnerability factors • Construction codes and practices • Age and condition • Susceptibility to damages (repetitive losses) • Criticality of function • Exposure in high hazard areas

  4. Infrastructure Impacts What are some examples of specific hazard impacts to infrastructure in your community? (Think beyond just the direct damages to infrastructure)

  5. Infrastructure Impacts • Road flooding prevented emergency response to house fire • Power outage during heat wave led to several fatalities • Flood damages shut down water system for 2 days – huge impacts

  6. Consider the effects of existing policies on future vulnerability of infrastructure • Economic drivers • Planning and decision-making processes • Development standards and policy framework • Incentives and disincentivesfor growth in high hazard areas

  7. Tools and Resources Tools and resources for assessing infrastructure vulnerability and resilience

  8. From Flood Exposure Snapshot Miami-Dade County Example

  9. In the floodplain? View FEMA flood data online in Google Earth Search infrastructure by location or address using “Stay Dry” Miami-Dade County Example

  10. HAZUS-MH estimate damages from floods, hurricane winds, and earthquakes • Estimates: • Physical damage • Economic loss • Social impacts

  11. Safe Growth Audit • used to evaluate the extent to which a jurisdiction is growing safely relative to the natural hazards it faces

  12. Coastal hazards and smart growth How smart growth principles can support resilience to coastal hazards

  13. Preventing High-Risk Development Case Study • Chatham, Mass., protected people and property by preventing development in the floodplain http://www.mass.gov/czm/stormsmart/resources/stormsmart_chatham.pdf

  14. No Adverse Impact (NAI) Toolkit • Framework for floodplain management • Legal issues • Case studies • Model regulations • Coastal zone handbook

  15. Locations of Critical Facilities Throughout the County Combining local data sources

  16. Proposed Sites for Capital Improvement Projects Combining local data sources

  17. Exercise: Infrastructure Profile What are some ideas for improving infrastructure resilience?
