GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE DISCUSSED:
This public workshop will present the recently launched South Florida Water Management District Flood Impact Assessment Tool (SFWMD-FIAT) to assist in developing cost benefit estimates of flood adaptation alternatives. The SFWMD-FIAT was designed to run quick, consistent, and well-founded flood damage and risk calculations, utilizing an advanced exposure database being built in-house. This Tool will support the District Resiliency and Flood Protection Level of Service (FPLOS) Programs in deciding on appropriate courses of action and to help underpin the benefits of flood mitigation and adaptation measures when recommending priority infrastructure investments.
The SFWMD-FIAT enables non-modelers to evaluate the damage and risk-reduction benefits of flood mitigation and adaptation measures once the hydrodynamic modeling of these scenarios, and respective flood inundation results, are completed. It evaluates and outputs damages per building, road segment, and utility, and aggregates to specified aggregation scales. The SFWMD-FIAT Tool might also support local flood vulnerability assessments, as the exposure database is fully developed districtwide. This meeting is for technical experts and researchers, planners and water managers, and is open to the public.
One or more members of the Governing Board of the South Florida Water Management District may attend this workshop. No Governing Board action will be taken.
