thank you for being here that okay thank you my name is Steve boning I'm here on behalf of castal waterways design and engineering LLC and as Mr harping just indicated we are responsible responsible for putting together the vulnerability analysis and
yeah we are checking off boxes this is uh task five the public Outreach number two uh but of course we're we're looking to make this as productive as we can the purpose of this particular uh meeting is regarding the vulnerability assessment
town of Indian River Shores is conducting a townwide comprehensive vulnerability assessment pursuant to section 380 093 Florida Statutes as part of this process the town aims to present findings from the exposure analysis and the sensitivity analysis which are the
two major components of the vulnerability assessment and uh the draft vulnerability assessment to a large extent although now we're moving toward final this is our our last chance to introduce any uh comments or uh or other elements into the vulnerability
assessment as we approach prep preparations of the final the meeting purpose is to gather Community specific input from the public on these results while also reviewing the methodologies and assumptions used in the analysis for potential refinement we don't expect to
do too much refinement at this point in time uh we we already had some input from um from the public uh meeting previously but again this is another capture for us to introduce anything if necessary uh Additionally the town seeks feedback on prior prioritizing Focus
areas to guide the development of adaptation strategy and projects in other words we actually want to do something with this document we don't want it to sit up on the shelf and and get Dusty in fact we'll talk a little bit about some of the reasons why we had to perform the vulnerability assessment
and some of the benefits that will will come forth from that so um first in terms of the introduction uh my name is Steve boning again I'm a PE licens in the State of Florida we're undertaking this on behalf of the town
this uh vulnerability assessment I also have uh Brandon Paige with me who's our GIS expert who's done a considerable amount of of of work um for the layers underneath that produce the maps and and Exhibits that that we're going to be
talking about that we've seen already so in terms of a vulnerability assessment we are assessing again the um communities vulnerabilities to uh VAR ious scenarios various adverse impacts associated with storm events to potential sea level rises in the future
uh it it's looking at increase in frequency of storms which we've seen and uh it also looks at duration of rainfall events although that's not a component that is typically investigated for these Coastal communities because there are other scenarios other um that we'll see here that have far more impact on a
community that's on a coast like this a Barrier Island community uh we look at storm surge uh from these more frequent and severe weather systems and um we also are looking at projected sea level rise that's been uh identified uh for us
by the state who is uh paying for this uh vulnerability assessment and again it's because these uh across the state the entire State and even in our communities pose economic social environmental and public health and safety challenges um and we want to um
address these effectively by understanding the the impacts from these events so most of us already understand what at risk is and what being resilient is here's an example of a of a home that happens to be on a on a coastline that's
at risk of erosion and it um and perhaps even sea level rise on the right hand side is a home that's built to be resilient against uh higher Waters higher Tides this looks like it's on an bment area maybe it's a ocean area I forget where we got that one
from and again we see um communities that were impacted around us this is Fort Meyers not too long ago hurricane Ian uh Golf Community um on the coast that was impacted significantly by storm surge wind impacts as well and we even
see in our area considerable damage associated with storm events hurricanes here's um basically a resilience among uh ruin I guess you can call this this is the famous Mexico Beach
uh structure Mexico Beach is in um Panama area of Florida Panhandle and this structure was built to a extremely high standard I'm not even going to say the high standards uh that we are normally uh used to they they they went the extra mile for sure and it obviously
compared to the structures around it it survived with very little damage and um the home was intact and unfortunately the infrastructure around them uh electricity and utilities were not so um you know there's a lot to be done with regard to making a community
resilient and then of course there's also some good examples of uh communities that are built here in Florida that are um resilient design so there are in this case in in Cape Coral on on your left-and side the homes are
protected from the significant uh flood event the roadways are are impacted to some degree and then uh bcop Ranch which is in Lee County that's designed with the road elevated elevations um just as as as right I should say higher than the
the U impact flood that they're they're anticipating so again there are um resilient type communities being constructed or being reconstructed throughout the state so let's get into our U our assessment and talk about the scenarios
examined um you know first of all you know why are we doing this well there's money given to us 100% of the funding is from the uh uh Florida Department of Environmental Protection Coastal resiliency they thought it important enough that all the communities in Florida uh have a
vulnerability uh assessment performed to look at all the flood scenarios or or as many of the flood scenarios as possible in order for us to develop in a more resilient manner so we have resilient planning uh funding and data collection funding which we utilize and then of
course the vulnerability assessment so the studies are uh meant to uh determine what impact you may have so that we can look to see if there's some uh there's an ability to uh reduce the impact of flooding and potential future sea level rise uh one of the
things that the uh the vulnerability assessment is also used for is that the D has funding available for future projects for resilient but if you did not perform your vulnerability assessment you're not eligible for funding so it's a huge box to check off
to become eligible for future funding through the D's Coastal resilient program so that's one of the things that we're looking at and as we move forward is you know first of all what vulnerabilities does Indian River Shores face and I think we we talked about that
we went through that we were able to um first of all we had to do uh scenarios that the state wanted us to do and we also were able to do scenarios that that we were inclined to to look at with regard to a storm surge we looked at a cat 3 event uh for example so we looked
at the vulnerabilities that we thought were most impactive but we also want to consider what projects that we can think of that you know resilience is necessary the reason we want to have this Advanced type of thinking is because if for example we say well our our Dunes for
example our our or our our Coastal Shoreline is uh is a asset that we want to protect um you know be we want funding for maybe those projects we want to make sure they're integrated into the into the vulnerability assessment so that when we do have our application
before D for a project and they ask us if we have a vulnerability assessment we say yes and if they ask us if you if you assess the vulnerability of this particular asset we can also say yes so that's the concept the idea behind us trying to be Forward Thinking in what we
see as potential projects okay so let's get into uh the scenarios more in depth so in general we looked at a sea level rise a couple a few scenarios in fact of potential sea level rise as dictated to a certain extent by
the state we looked at a high tide event we also looked at something that's commonly referred to as the 100-year storm event or the 1% storm event we we based that on FEMA flood map and we're going to come back to that and then we did a storm surge cat 3 storm surge
so with regard to sea level rise um the Noah projections that exist at the time um included these um sea level rise projections out to I think like 2100 um year 2100 the uh the
vulnerability assessments uh that were required the grant that that we were required to produce under the grant uh was a 240 and 2070 result so uh now if you go under the vulnerability assessment to get grant funding you're now needing to look
at the 2050 and 2080 we're in a 240 2070 so we selected um with guidance from the state a 2040 intermediate low and a 240 intermediate high and then a 2070 intermediate low and a 2070 intermediate
high so if you look at the blues those are the kind of those are lows you look at the the yellows or oranges those are the high and then the intermediate is the red so we took took something just a little bit below the red a little bit above the red for those for those years 240 and 270
again these are projected sea level rise based on current data that Noah is utilizing all communities in Florida have to do this okay so here now we're getting into the uh the meat of our assessment on the left hand side is what you would see in the reports some of you have already
looked at our draft report that's a map the map comes with tables as well on the right hand side is a is a product that is developed basically from our GIS right so we have the gis layers that are developing the maps that we see that are
printed in the book but we also get this unique product that can be visualized in this you know Ortho view here this happens to be the intersection of the Fred Turk drive and Highway A1A so you can see there in the light blue in the
back is the public safety building and then the green buildings here is a community center and then only a portion of this facility that we're in because for some reason the uh the data that we obtained from the county didn't have this other wing on the uh the
structure so what we're doing here is we're just giving you a um a map that's in the exhibit but we're also showing you in this view because we have this unique uh ability to do so with the gis we're also kind of showing you what it what it looks like you know it's close
to real real world as if we were hovering in a drone or something like that over this intersection so this is a example of the impact of the intermediate low 2070 sea level rise and in the map you can see very very faint blue colors that are showing up mostly
on the shorelines and what we're looking at is the depth of flooding so as you as you can imagine the shorelines are low right there's you're at the mean High water line you're you're at the water line you're you're a low so any flooding there will be high and that's where
you're getting that three a little over three foot those dark little spots if you look at the gis view to the right hand side you can see that in the back there where there's a low Wetland area behind the development that's beginning to start to see some impacts it's it's
almost like a a high tide event but in our community we're not really seeing any significant um flood exposure we'll call it exposure is the extent of flooding and then sensitivity would be well how much is it flooding right so you know if I'm a public safety and I
have these vehicles that are going through the water that can make it through 6 in of water a flood in my location is not the issue um okay if it's flooding in my location that's important but how much is it flooding is it 6 inch or 6 feet that may make a difference in how I respond so
that's kind of the idea between exposure and sensitivity so these maps on the right on the left hand side will be our exposure maps and then the tables that we derive in our reports will show us some of that sensitivity and again we'll see both of those things exposure and
sensitivity on this exhibit to the to the right our GIS exhibit as we scroll through some of these this is the intermediate High 2070 and if you notice and I'll just jump back real quick you can see the map on the left hand side starts filling in
in some of the low Shoreline areas and maybe even some Upland areas start becoming impacted so those low Shoreline areas that were going to be in about 3 ft of water are now in about 5 ft of water for an intermediate High 2070 sea level rise scenario and we can see
there's some persistent flooding um you know in that back wet Wetland area and then maybe even some flooding adjacent to some of our structures in some low areas maybe where there's some Retention Ponds Etc but
again uh we're not seeing too much much of an impact in our developed areas of our community now we also looked at a high tide event high tide event um was dictated by Noah as well and all these events are additional water that we put
on top of our existing water scenario for today what we actually use is the mean high high water so we're a little conservative which is an appropriate way to assess this it's a standard way to assess this so we are looking at a more
conservative uh um U I guess result because the difference between like mean sea level and a mean high high in our area is about a third of a foot or yeah about a third of a foot I'd say yeah so having that extra third of a foot is is what we're doing we're putting on top of
the mean high high water so we put this high tide event on top of the mean high high water and we can see that again it's not um impacting our our community very much except for the low-lying areas and the shoreline but when we take that high tide and we combine it which was one of the
requirements we ended up doing 12 scenarios here for this for this assessment but we combined it with a intermediate high so it's basically saying well if you get a high tide event in the future when we have a projection of a 2070 sea level rise intermediate
high if that's to occur this is the type of flooding that you'll see and we start seeing that much of our de our developed Island becomes exposed there's some exposure to some extent and then we can see again on this exhibit just as we can see in some of the charts inside the
table we can see the sensitivity how many feet of water so in this particular case with the high tide and the intermediate High sea level rise in those very very very low areas along the shoreline there's about 9 ft of water now there and in fact in this area here
as you can see by the exhibit to the right hand side out in front of the public Public Safety uh building there's a little over a half a foot of water in the driveway and out in the center line of that Fred Turk Drive there's a almost 2 ft of water and then then the parking lot here if you park your car um behind
this facility um I guess in the employee parking will call there's about a little over one and a almost one and A2 ft of water in that parking lot and then out on A1A in the center line of A1A there a almost a half a foot4 foot in the center line which again you can Traverse uh but
in the gutters there's about one and a half foot which means if you're going in and out of maybe a a development that you might be seeing that so this is kind of giving you a sense that with a high tide with a future projected intermediate High sea level rise this
could be the potential impact to our community now we looked at storm surge what we ended up taking is the uh cat 3 storm surge this is a modeled elevated water uh that's due to to a incoming cat 3 storm event so again in those low
areas the uh potential if the storm hit just right as modeled we'll call it in those low areas there's now 11 ft of water and in our community we're we have significant exposure you can see in the left hand side and it ranges in in feet and in fact when you look at again this
area of of the community where we're in that um driveway in front of the public safety is now looking at at 3.2 ft of water again this is a cat 3 storm surge that could occur any time it's modeled for today's world if you will it's on a mean high high water so yeah you would
be looking at it on on the most extreme high tides that we normally get and again Fred Turk four feet of water now you're looking at um almost 2 ft of water in A1A in the center line and almost 3 ft of water in in the in the gutter so and we know that the
Hurricanes obviously have an impact on our community what we often don't recognize is the impact they can have on our on our Back Bay Area so the the Atlantic Ocean Side is obviously getting impacted and it's probably a little bit higher storm surge out there the inlet's going to let water in and if that storm
is around for the modeled time that it was around uh as derived by the numeric model it'll continue to fill that Back Bay up uh until that storm passes and then it can go back out again so this is the storm surge associated with that cat 3 event
and then this is just you know putting a storm on top of an you know another event another scenario this is looking at a cat 3 into the Future if indeed uh the 2070 intermediate High sea level rise were to be you know what's
projected now were to occur if you were to uh put this cat 3 storm on that there's additional flooding as you would imagine so now we're looking at you know on the order of six feet or of water in this area and in lot of in lot lots of
the parts of our community as well so again this is a catastrophic event no doubt so uh we learned a couple things as we proceeded through our analysis um one of the things we we looked at is the
um and I'm going to come to it in a minute this is I just backed this view out by the way all I did was just back the Drone out or whatever we're in the the hot air balloon so that we can look over the beach and what I wanted to point out because this was brought up by staff by Public Safety Tad you had brought this up is you know where are we
susceptible to uh breaching the Dune system and the storm surge what unfortunately it doesn't show and and and none of the scenarios that we've talked about so far they don't show it is any wave impact or erosion impact which would really start becoming the
issue with regard to uh the Dune so this we back out here and we show the storm surge and again the same storm surge we were just looking at cat 3 intermediate high but we know full well that the impact on our our our our Coast will
have an erosion impact and we'll have a wave runup impact with the with the waves uh um um having the momentum and that runup could include that over topping as well as if there's any breaches due to erosion that's not getting picked up when we look at these
storm events however after looking at all these apples we do have one orange we looked at and that's the 100-year storm event again I use the same scenario I'm backed out here but we have somewhat of the same problem here well first of all we
are looking at in a 1% annual chance storm event uh again this is today this is not on a projected um uh rise in sea level or anything like that uh but but this is the orange to the apples this is not just storm surge this is storm surge
Plus wave and yes you're going to have waves even in the Back Bay when we do the analysis for like a FEMA map we're not just elevating the water we're having to run a so we're doing two models we're elevating with one model and then we have to run another numerical model with a wave and if we
had another half hour I could make you all Coastal Engineers because waves are depth limited so if if a if you have 10t of water you're going to have a 8ft wave if you have 5T of water you're going to have a 4ft wave so in other words that wave is going to Break um that large you
know 8ft wave is going to break when it feels 10t of of water uh it's not going to come in any further it'll Rush up with the foam Etc but the wave breaking energy will be dissipated there that's why you have offshore you see sometimes after a storm or even during a storm you see waves breaking immediately offshore
the sand has come up the sand is now making a sand bar and it's tripping these big waves almost like the beach is almost protecting itself so those that's you're seeing the results of a depth limited wave now smaller waves going to come in it's going to go right over that and come in so that is one of the that's
the orange to the apples but now we start getting somewhere because now we're looking at some um impacts that again um are are on our Dune system uh but the uh this the study stopped there
and as we talked at our previous meeting internally with with some of the staff is that uh looking ahead this may be an opportunity for us to consider this 1% annual chance storm event or or 100-year event uh perhaps with a sea level rise
but if we're going to do that sea level rise because of depth limited waves we ought to run the FEMA's they call it waus model wave model and erosion on that new scenario so that's something that we can consider doing because we
ran it in a this is of interest to you I know Tad we ran it in other communities um that that had the funding that and the ability to do it at the time and on a one of the higher scenarios I think was the intermediate high they had a breach in one of their Dunes that that
showed up in it so it is a uh I guess you could say a worthy exercise in determining that particular um instance or or occurrence that could probably happen uh and it's a good way I think to assess the Dune for our purposes of
understanding where our uh weak links are um and I think it also is a good way for us to demonstrate to whomever d uh in particular uh that we analyze it to such a degree that we found um maybe a weak
link that's going to occur perhaps in the future uh but this is what the DP is having us look at and then maybe perhaps we could be investigating some funding for um you know for for that project and I know there's a lot of funding already available but you know vulnerability
funding is uh there's quite a bit of money out there right now for castal resilient funding so um maybe there's additional funding in there yes sir in terms of this that's a good question the question is uh for the sake of recording is uh could
this information that we're garnering from the vulnerability assessment be utilized to demonstrate to the D Coastal uh group that we have a critically eroded Beach or at least toward that fact that we can um be assigned a
critically eroded uh Beach and I and I think the question uh is a good question I think um the answer always unfortunately for me it seems these days to be it depends because I know they have specific rules about it but the rules do allow for
other information to be introduced that could demonstrate that there's critically a road in other words they have a 25e storm event that you run with a numerical model very specific rules but there's an opening and I think with that opening allowed us to do is present items like this where we did an analysis
we utilized either female flood mapping or maybe we should even use that's a good point now maybe we should use instead of eroding using FEMA model erod with the DP model that might be a way to start demonstrating that yeah we're using your model we're using your methodology yeah we're using for
100-year event but still um I think it it would go a long way toward demonstrating that we have uh these weak links and that they are susceptible to damage and that there ought to be something done to maybe combat that now before things you know if things are going as Direction so it's possible I
think that's a good question yeah I think it's a good a good idea so uh yeah so that's one of the things and again um uh and I I brought it up because the the D the de has indicated that funding is available for updates to
vulnerability assessments I know we haven't even completed this yet because they're trying to do two things they're trying to um Advance it to 2050 and 2080 like I mentioned but they're also trying to get the gis schema which is the stuff underneath uh to match up with theirs so
they're promoting updates and we talked to them a little bit about additional study and they said that's one way you could do it if you're going to update it you can come in and say you have better scientific data and we did learn a lot from this exercise that we could perhaps introduce that and
do an update to our assessment so that might be how we can do it as well okay so those are those are examples of the scenarios like I said there was 12 scenarios as we combined different things and again we did learn from that that um there could be some
additional uh analysis performed especially on the Cal side and I don't want to leave out the um the U Lagoon side because again if we were to update that numerical model for example for FEMA there is uh they analyze transex
they call it from the ocean side but they also analyze transex from the Gulf side so they Place wind on top of that water which generates higher waves which gives us our bfes or are base flood elevations and again just to to finalize that thought this is the orange to the
apples because those elevations back there um that are pretty similar to what we just saw for the cat 3 this is the top of any wave event now there might not be that many waves or that much wave activity in this location but my point is is when you look at these maps to the left that's the top of a wave so it's
not the you know the water that you're sitting in until the wave comes and you know maybe you're sitting in you know up to your knee and all of a sudden a wave comes up to your your thigh or your hip that's what it's measuring is that top of wave which again going now from a building code perspective you know now it's like okay well what are we
designing for you know what should we be looking at looking at the sea level rise and a storm surge is one thing but if the waves on top of it you know those are some other things that we perhaps want to look at of course we see that in ve zones as you know but we also see that in coastal a zones is that's a wave
component whether it's an a zone or vzone it still has a wave component to it so that's uh something that um again could be studied little more detail so the critical assets is the next thing and again the idea here was to do an exposure analysis and you kind
of saw the maps that show the exposure of our community the extent of flooding and then the critical assets that we analyzed we can look at in a little more detail about to what degree right the sensitivity so here's a list of the critically and regionally significant
assets uh A1A was determined to be a major asset we have a electrical facility here we have some lift stations considerable number of lift stations around the community there's a cell tower here we also have a FEMA lot that we uh conduct our debris uh Management on that site so it's important to know
what the conditions are there we have our community center a town hall public safety building and then we have our shorelines both the Atlantic Shoreline and the IND in the river Lagoon Shoreline so we assess these um again to include them in this vulnerability assessment making sure we're check off
boxes but also determining what is our vulnerability and then we have the conservation lands parks and wetlands also identified and assessed so again we don't have time to go through all of the the uh report I guess 100 and something pages but we can certainly try and pick
some of these and and and look to see um what kind of impact we're looking at in our community so this is the types of tables that are going to be inside with the maps of our report and here um we're showing a uh major roadway impact by
Hazard so this is State Road A1A what we wanted to do is we wanted to identify um the number of feet of roadway that's impacted for various storm scenarios so on the left hand side you see the scenarios we have our and it's cut off a
little bit I'm sorry about that but that l240 is iil it's intermediate low 240 then they intermediate High 2040 so these are sea level rise all by themselves we have a high tide and then then we get down to the purple we have a high tide plus the intermediate low 2040 so we have the high tide sea level rise
scenarios and then we get to our yellow which is our cat three and then we get to our green which is that 100-year flood and then we have some more of those combined storm events or scenarios rather which is the cat 3 storm on top of the future projected sea level rise
so those are the scenarios there and then these tables show us what portions are at risk of the highway what how many feet and we have a low RIS risk assigned a medium risk and a high risk assigned this is what the um the state wanted us to do for all of these types of analyses
so we had to derive those and what we came up with is low risk is 6 Ines to a foot of water which you know most SUVs can get through so that's kind of like you know that's that's where we had the low risk medium risk is 1 to two feet so maybe large up you know lifted vehicles or emergency vehicles can get through
and then high risk is you know 2 feet or more which is limited to maybe like you know the National Guard brings a vehicle down or even a vessel down so that's kind of like how we assessed our our major roadway so just as an example this map to the right is associated with that
line to the left which is the intermediate low 2070 and there's no impact okay so A1A is built up high enough that um there's no impact to um the highway sorry to A1A from a future projected intermediate low
2070 if we look at a high tide on a intermediate High 2070 in the future then there's a small 400t portion of road at low risk it's actually outside of town hall I think the H in town hall is covering the yellow um on the highway
on on A1A so that's only a small stretch um that's impacted by that but as we move up to a cat 3 we start seeing 250 ft of of area is in about you know a foot of water but there's 1500t length that's in you know 1 to 2 feet and even
a 400t length right out right out front here that's in a depth of 2T of water so again the map's a little hard to see but most of the colors are are and you can see in the in the uh on the page of the of the actual assessment uh report
you'll see the color show up pretty clearly underneath that town hall um wording it's a red you know red right out here and then orange on either side then yellow is a bit of a low area in A1A and again just thinking out loud and a little bit ahead it's like hey you know what now we have something to tell the state you know fdot hey you know
what in a cat 3 event this road you know is is maybe impassible or in a future flooding event that may be associated with a future sea level rise this is a low area what can we start doing looking at this to maybe mitigate for
that and then again using the most catastrophic I think the whole roadway is virtually impacted by a cat 3 on top of an intermediate High 2070 sometime in the future so again you see lots of color on the A1A where those areas of
low high and medium and you know depending on our internal roadway system this might be something that uh is of interest to even Public Safety to know what you know where we go where can we get around uh again cat 3 probably shouldn't be here maybe in the be you
know to begin with um and uh I'm sure you have your own safety mechanisms of when you go and noo but um this is kind of a good tool to use and that's another point if this assessment upon completion uh you think that maybe we should have looked at a cat 2 instead well you know
that's something that we can do you know hey the cat 3 is very catastrophic but a cat 2 we may do something different U what does that look like maybe that's something that we can look at um at running um if we decide to do a future
update so here's another example of the tables that are in here this is a long table we actually broke it this is not necessarily a requirement of this particular uh vulnerability assessment at least not under the state requirement but we thought it would be good to at
least assess the roadways within um the town and again all the scenarios now are kind of flipped up top now the colorization there the Reds the purples yellows those are all the scenarios I flipped them up that way because again we had a lot of roadways uh throughout the community that we wanted to to
assess and again the gis made it pretty easy for us to make the assessment and that's what we did here so you can see it doesn't have the high medium low we didn't again go to that extent but you can see that there's flooding in those roadways from um those events most of them as you can tell are those higher
extreme events if you can see there's mostly zeros on the left hand side and they start getting some you know 4700 linear feet of roadway in some cases um as you move to the right so again that tables in there as well um Just for
information and something you can be building upon if we want to and again just for pointing it out there's maps that go with it um there are a limited number of roadways up in the north that are impacted by even a um uh a sea level rise event um so that that's interesting to
see you know um nothing really is impacted by our high tide event as far as roadways and then a few more roads start getting picked up with some of our other types of scenarios here the high tide plus the the future sea level rise and again as we start moving we
already know this this is the flood zone if you look at a flood map you see the the roads and development is covered okay so this is not a surprise to us when we see flood zones um when we see roads flooded uh during our uh our 100y
year flood or or 1% annual chance St flood of that because it's again it's it's on the FEMA flood maps that we all used to seeing cat three has a lot lar large impacts and then cat 3 the catastrophic one is just like just about everywh road is flooded all right and then we also have
some data in here property impacts um mostly in in acres um uh so percent of our our building so here's something that you know again can be we can take a look at this and and then look at our maps and and and again get get a good idea what inventory what
is susceptible to what storm events just in general general terms and of course it just so happens it's in this particular area most of our critical facilities exist when I say that I mean most of our Public Safety um our operations center here this would
probably become an operation Center cell towers in this area so here we have our critical facilities and this one again we identified uh low medium and high risk we we used less than one foot of water as a low risk and then over one foot of water um actually it's one to
three foot of water as a medium risk and then over three foot of water is a high risk and the color coding is in the table itself so you can see the yellows oranges and reds so you can see for different events uh the various um sensitivity to that
event I think we even colorcoded the dots I think on our on our map to the right and um this is our lift stations so this is important to know as well so there's a number of lift stations we identify
through GIS map them uh assess them through uh different scenarios and you know certain things that we need to know number one um you know low risk is less than two feet so what does that mean that means your wet well is getting filled okay wet well is already filled with stuff that we
flushed on the toilet U but this might be of interest to us because if it's filled with water what is that stuff that's in there doing is it coming out that kind of thing is it causing a safety hazard so even those low risks might have some interest to us in terms
of planning as we get to a medium risk it's 2 feet so we might have some components that are at 2 feet and certainly high-risk um which is uh over 2 feet that starts impacting electronics and the Telemetry of some of these lift stations so it's starting to put it at more that facility more more at risk and
again if you look at this one I think we have one identified as uh I can't read that number but it's a third one from the bottom looks like uh anyway um those can be located physically on a map but that one you can see is already being impacted by some of the more milder
events where um you know some of these other lift Stations don't start getting impacted till we get to further down the right hand side of the column so that might be one that is of interest to us in terms of just from a planning perspective is you know what do we want to do with that lift station you know where is it why is it susceptible is it
something is there something we can do U or is it just in a location that's just low so again some practical things that can come out of this um I think that's just more oh yeah this is an example of it associated with a map so we have maps that are associated with the various
storm events so here's that very condition I was just talking about I'm I Brandon does that show up there on I guess it shows up in that paper I just want to make sure we have a correlation to that um well we have the code number there so it probably be a matter of just learning the code the PSL
yeah I kind of hoping it just you know the bright light shines like this is it right here but we can you know we can find it obviously okay so again as you get to the higher events we can expect to see U you know these lift stations becoming more and more impact good news is is there mostly low impacts to the
these lift stations which you know maybe attest them into the design location they don't they don't start getting impacted until we get to these higher events okay so that information also exists in uh quite a bit of depth if you will uh in terms of lift station and the
impacts to those with the associated mapping for each of the scenarios okay so that kind of uh concludes really what we wanted to do in terms of you know presenting this um and we already had some questions but certainly we can
open up for additional questions and again the things that always trying to keep on our mind is you know making sure that we are capturing the vulnerabilities that you see or maybe you've seen in your other communities that you lived in in the past or other commities you currently live in elsewhere um you know are we looking at
those vulnerabilities um and then always think in terms of projects you know um a road project that might be A1 you know might be the dot but you know can we demonstrate to them hey guys did you guys get this on your vulnerability assessment too because we're seeing that you know we might want to make sure this
is a an area that we can um Traverse one thing that was a little disappointing when we did go through this was that we tried to look at things like um the causeways which sometimes get a little low before you go over those high-rise Bridges because in certain cases we may
have events that um are small enough events uh that don't impact us to the degree we want to leave the island so we we might might still be here operating and if we are it'd be nice to know if um you know what access do we have or what access does other uh communities have to
us that we rely on um you know for Mutual assistance uh but the D turn us down every time we try to sneak something like that in so it's it would behoove us to also look at Indian River County's um vulnerability assessment they're working on it now so that we're
kind of tuned in to those those things as well you know and and particularly I'd like to see like again in terms of mutual assistance uh you know are we relying on a fire station over there that's going to get flooded or you know are they looking at that you know those kind of things that we want to always be Cons considering as well the things that
impact our community that are outside our community okay so we did the risk vulnerability um uh analysis we started that up collected our data performed the methodology you now seen the results and now we're getting into the next phase resilient
projects and potential funding uh for projects down the line so again that's kind of like the the map that that we have uh we're we're at the point now where we're putting together the final pieces for our final vulnerability assessment and again I I don't think
that's the end of the story um if there is input that we and I know a lot of the staff have looked at it but even um you know the residents or Council if there's input now for us to to make sure we have in our final then we can we can include that but all is not lost there is still
opportunities to look at other like I'll call it again new scientific new data new scientific or technical data that we can convince the d uh to include in the in the grant while we up updated to the 2050 and 2080 and while we update the
schema so there's still another opportunity so with that I'll I'll open it up for discussion or questions or comments okay yeah I know I answered I think I answered your question unfortunately not directly uh but that was a very good point and you did prompt
us to uh push for that with d and they did agree that it's I'm hoping that other castal communities are looking at it too because uh we did we did an analysis for a local community and I mean I don't think we were surprised but it was neat to see um the impact of a
future sea level rise on on top of the 1% 100e storm event it showed an impact to the doom and then from public works you know um and even code enforcement um or or you know building you know if there's
anything you guys see in there um that needs um tweaking or updating let us know if it's you know even if it's a spelling element or if you think that there's a future project or a future um consideration uh that we want to make sure you know I know DP won't close the
door on us but I never want to give them a chance so the more we can put in there um in terms of our assessment and what we looked at the better so always looking for feedback from you on that one that's it anything else yes
does yeah that's that's a great question obviously the results of the model the report are going to be available to the public but that um right hand side we were showing which is a very unique interesting viewport that's a GIS developed product that we have that you
own because you paid for it where we host it maybe a good question or how we use it because you can make it interactive where you come into a map and scenario but it would take a lot to do I know that but it's something to think [Music]
about yeah yeah but to your point we even saw the roadways on a very low you know scenario low water scenario in in the North Area you know getting red you know becoming flooded so to your point yeah that North Area is more susceptible to flooding it
looks like than other areas at least that particular scenario right and you know what we always think about leaving but you know there's Public Safety and emergency response that are trying to get in and that might be delayed so good all right well fantastic that's all I have so really
appreciate you coming in make sure you signed in because that's important for our checklist and we got a recording and uh appreciate you being here thank you so much
