1 Infrastructure Profile Consider strengths and vulnerabilities of the built environment

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

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

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 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 Infrastructure Impacts

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

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

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 Estimates: Physical damage Economic loss Social impacts estimate damages from floods, hurricane winds, and earthquakes

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

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

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?
