1 foot = 2040 – 2070
2 foot = 2060 – 2115
3 foot = 2075-2150
15. Vulnerability Assessments
• Inundation Mapping
– Regional digital elevation model
– 1, 2, and 3 foot scenarios
– Common method to express
potential risk
– Identifies areas with LiDAR
elevation at the mean higher high
water line
• Vulnerability Analysis
– Prioritized infrastructure for
analysis
– Tested geospatial analytical
methods
– Included uncertainty
17. Regional Action Plan Planning Process
• Public Process involving
–
–
–
–
–
Governmental Agencies
Private Industry
Academic Institutions
Not-for-profits
Others
• Topical Work Groups:
– Built Environment
– Transportation
– Land and Natural Systems
– Agriculture
• Role of Work Groups:
– Develop recommendations
– Assist with response to public
comment
Focus on gaining efficiency and
effectiveness through regional
strategies and coordination
18. SE Florida Regional
Climate Change Action Plan
Completed October 2012
Product of 3-year planning and
public process
Reflects contributions of 135+
Work Group members
Details 106 recommendations
across 7 planning areas
Includes companion
Implementation Guide

19. Action Strategies
• Seven focal areas:
– Sustainable Communities
and Transportation
Planning
– Water Supply,
Management, and
Infrastructure
– Natural Systems
– Agriculture
– Energy and Fuel
– Risk Reduction and
Emergency Management
– Outreach and Public Policy

43. Compact Advocacy
• Support for local/regional efforts, and the need to plan
for SLR
• Integration of adaptation/resilience into policies,
planning, and infrastructure projects
• Funding for resilient
infrastructure
• Federal support for beach
projects
• Support for GHG emissions
reductions including renewables,
E conservation and transit funding
44. Benefits of Regional Approach
• Foster partnerships with federal, state, and
regional agencies
• Accelerate planning process with advantage of
shared expertise and resources
• Bring added credibility to work products and
process
• Use collective influence to advance regional
priorities
• Attract resources to advance implementation

Even with mitigation, South Florida will need to adapt to certain climate change impacts that are inevitable. Coastal/Tidal FloodingInland FloodingBeach ErosionWind DamageWater ShortagesSaltwater intrusion into wellfieldsAnd Impacts to natural resources of national significance As you know, these conditions already influence life in south Florida and challenge planning efforts, but these conditions will grow more frequent and severe in the absence of major investments by our community.It is this realization that brought the counties of South Florida together to form the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact.
The four counties of the SE FL Regional Climate Change Compact brought together a group of local sea level rise experts to develop a sea level rise projection for our region. The blue line on the left shows part of the long term record from Key West. Over the last 100 years, sea level has risen 8-10 inches. If that trend continued, we would expect 5 inches of sea level rise by mid century. However, experts agree that we will be experiencing an acceleration on sea level rise during this century, expecting 3-7 inches of sea level rise from todays levels by 2030 and up to 2 feet of sea level rise in the next 50 years.
$53 M/year in BrowardBeaches support our local economy P[> $4 billion in infrastructure (in Broward alone)Beach erosion control efforts cost Broward County an estimated $8.5M/yearCosts will escalate as erosion is exacerbated by rising seas and increasing storm intensity
