NEW VENUE!

Building a Stormwater Flood Resilience Plan - Mapping to Mitigation

Presented by

Joel Kaatz, PE

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. There are seven phases described: 1) Flood Mapping, 2) Layered Flood Exposure Analysis, 3) Defining Level-of-Service Criteria, 4) Gap Analysis and Prioritization of Project Areas, 5) Conceptualize Projects and Estimate Costs, 6) Benefit-Cost-Analysis and Project Selection, and 7) Funding, Implementation, and Program Adaptation. Each phase leverages innovative tools and methods to create actionable outcomes.
