TEAM INTRODUCTIONS Brent Whitfield, P.E. - Project Manager Charmaine Emanuels, P.E. – Lead Engineer Stephanie Long-Marquez, Ph.D, P.E. – H&H Modeling Karla Jimenez - Engineering Support Michael Antinelli, P.E. - Deputy Project Manager Erica Echeverri - Outreach Support Tanoah Villain - Outreach Support Sam May - Director - Public Works / Utilities Hong Guo, P.E. - Assistant Director - Public Works / Utilities Neil Buckeridge - Utilities Superintendent

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT - AGENDA • Project Purpose • Grant Funding • Open Discussion • Flooding Concerns • What is Vulnerability? • Critical Assets • Exposure Analysis • Final Vulnerability Assessment • Timeline and Milestones

PROJECT PURPOSE • Examine the vulnerability and risk of critical assets to flooding events. • Identify protection and mitigation priorities. • Align priorities with the Broward County Local Mitigation Strategy. • Improve eligibility for State/Federal grant funding for flood resilience projects.

• May 2021 – Governor signed Senate Bill 1954 into law • The program is intended to fund efforts to prepare communities for the impacts of rising sea levels, intensified storms, and flooding. • The program includes a selection of grants available to counties, municipalities, special districts with specific responsibilities, and regional resilience entities. • In FY 2022-23, the State awarded $275M in grants to communities for resilience projects. • Vulnerability Assessment (VA) reports allow communities to apply for grant funds. RESILIENT FLORIDA PROGRAM - OVERVIEW

SURVEY QUESTION #1

VISUALIZING VULNERABILITY Vulnerability examines an asset’s exposure and sensitivity to a threat. It is also important to understand how easily an asset can change or adapt.

VISUALIZING VULNERABILITY A low-lying firehouse is more vulnerable than a park, even if both have the same exposure.

VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK Vulnerability = Impact + Adaptive Capacity Adaptive Capacity – The ability of a person, asset, or system to adjust to a hazard, take advantage of new opportunities, or cope with change. Vulnerability – The propensity or predisposition of assets to be adversely affected by hazards. Vulnerability encompasses exposure, sensitivity, potential impacts, and adaptive capacity. Impact = Exposure + Sensitivity Exposure – The presence of people, assets, and ecosystems in places where they could be adversely affected by hazards. Sensitivity – The degree to which a system, population, or resource is or might be affected by hazards. Impact – Effects on natural and human systems that result from hazards. Evaluating potential impacts is a critical step in assessing vulnerability.

Public Meeting #1 Exposure Analysis (September – October 2024) VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE Vulnerability Analysis & Report Data Collection Sensitivity Analysis Public Outreach Meeting #2 (May – September 2024) (October– November 2024) (November 2024) (December 2024 – February 2025) (September 2024)

• Collect flood study data sets • Review available data • Collect stormwater infrastructure data • Compile Critical Asset database STEP 1 - ACQUIRE BACKGROUND DATA City Critical Asset Map

EXAMPLES OF CRITICAL COMMUNITY ASSETS Examples in North Lauderdale: • North Lauderdale – City Hall: Community Facility • West McNab Road: Transportation / Evacuation route • Water Treatment Facility on Rock Island Road: Critical Infrastructure • Fire Station 44: Community and Emergency Facility • North Lauderdale K-8 School: Community and Emergency Facility • Hampton Pines Park: Natural, Cultural, and Historic Resources

STATEWIDE CATEGORIZATION OF CRITICAL ASSETS Transportation and Evacuation Routes Critical Infrastructure Community and Emergency Facilities Natural, Cultural, and Historic Resources Airports Bridges Bus Terminals Ports Major Roadways Marinas Rail Facilities Rail Bridges Wastewater Treatment Facilities and Lift Stations Stormwater Treatment Facilities and Pump Stations Drinking Water Facilities Water Utility Conveyance Systems Electric Production and Supply Facilities Solid and Hazardous Waste Facilities Military Installations Communications Facilities Disaster Debris Management Sites Schools, Colleges, and Universities Community Centers Correctional Facilities Disaster Recovery Centers EMS Facilities Emergency Operation Centers Fire Stations Health Care Facilities Hospitals Law Enforcement Facilities Local Government Facilities Logistical Staging Areas Affordable Public Housing Risk Shelter Inventory State Government Facilities Conservation Lands Parks Shorelines Surface waters Wetlands Historical and Cultural Assets

SURVEY QUESTION #2

SURVEY QUESTION #3

STEP 2 - EXPOSURE ANALYSIS (MODEL DEVELOPMENT)

STEP 2 - EXPOSURE ANALYSIS • Refine and conduct stormwater modeling. • Identify the depth and extent of flooding: • 100-year storm • 500-year storm • Identify the depth and extent of flooding with sea level rise using NOAA projections: • 2050 and 2080

• Measure the impact of flooding severity on assets • Assign risk levels based on flooding extent and severity • Preliminarily prioritize assets based on area or immediate need STEP 3 - SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

• Present the preliminary Critical Asset database initial Exposure and Sensitivity Analysis • Solicit community-specific input on preliminary results • Prepare for revisions of methodologies and assumptions STEP 4 – PUBLIC OUTREACH MEETING #2

• Incorporate community feedback to refine methodologies and assumptions • Detail results and conclusions with illustrations and maps • Prioritize assets based on area or immediate need • Assure compliance with Florida Statutory requirements STEP 5 - VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS REPORT

CLOSING REMARKS • Thank you for your collaboration and dedication to the City of North Lauderdale • Contact Information: Brent Whitfield (CMA) – bwhitfield@chenmoore.com Michael Antinelli (Brizaga) - michael@brizaga.com
