Teaching about Risk and Resilience: Sea Level Rise, Flooding, and the City of Fort Lauderdale Nancy J. Gassman, Ph.D. Asst. Director Public Works Sustainability City of Fort Lauderdale Florida Center for Environmental Studies Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL May 14-16, 2014

Risk and Resilience Risk is the likelihood that we or our property will be harmed, and the consequences of that harm. Resilience is the ability to return to the status quo after a disturbing event. Because of Climate Change, our riskscape is evolving. We need to build capacity to avoid damage and/or recover from the disasters we can expect to face in the future.

* Red represents areas below 5 feet (1.52 m) elevation. LAND ELEVATION MAP Low topography puts the majority of the city at risk to flooding from Sea level rise Storm surge Extreme rainfall Extreme high tides

Storm Surge >50 years since last major storm surge Sea level rise will increase impacts ↑ rainfall associated with storm will cause more flooding City Hall
