1 Hazards Profile

2 Objective: To identify key hazards issues and priorities Identify information gaps to address these concerns

3 Hazards Profile How do relevant hazards affect your community? Where? How often? In what ways? Which current and projected hazard trends are you most concerned about affecting your community?

4 Flooding

5 Shallow Coastal Flood Extreme Tidal Conditions Elevated Stream levels Heavy Precipitation Storm Surge

6 Storm Surge Inundation Hurricanes Nor’easters Distant Storms

7 Erosion

8 Salt Water Intrusion

9 Future Hazards Considerations Change in Rainfall patterns Change in storm frequency Sea Level Rise Trends Change in Development → Change in Floodplain

10 Hazard Vulnerabilities: Things to consider How many shallow coastal flooding events have occurred in the recent past? What were the impacts? Mean Sea Level Trend 8670870 Fort Pulaski, Georgia How will rising sea levels exacerbate existing flooding issues? Will certain parts of the community that currently flood, flood more often? Observations from Fort Pulaski tide gage

11 Your Charge Considering the identified priority hazards… How do relevant hazards affect your community (where, how often, and in what ways)? Identify specific information gaps needed to better understand your hazards issues.
