5 Purpose of This Meeting To promote community engagement and gather your feedback To provide an overview of FEMA Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (MAP) Program To provide the project scope and schedule To discuss an overview of Discovery process To collect any additional flood data you may have: Areas of recent or proposed development Areas of historic flooding 5

6 Risk MAP 6

7 Risk MAP Program Overview Risk MAP Mapping Flood hazard and risk identification Assessment Risk assessment tools Planning Hazard mitigation planning Risk MAP Vision Deliver quality data Increase public awareness of flood risk Encourage local/regional actions that reduce risk 7

8 Risk MAP Goals 8

9 Risk MAP Program Overview Through Risk MAP, FEMA works with communities to develop flood risk products and flood hazard maps Based on best available community data and latest technologies Conducted by county for coastal (by watershed for riverine) Strengthened by partnerships You can use Risk MAP tools and data to: Create or improve your Local Mitigation Strategy Make informed decisions about development, ordinances, and flood mitigation projects Communicate with citizens about flood risk by utilizing outreach resources 9

10 Program Product Comparisons Traditional Regulatory Products Non-Regulatory Products FIRM Database Traditional products are regulatory and subject to statutory due-process requirements Risk MAP products are nonregulatory and are not subject to statutory due-process requirements 10

11 Flood Risk Map Visually Promotes Risk Awareness Contains results of Risk MAP project non-regulatory datasets Promotes additional flood risk data not shown but located within the Flood Risk Database 11

12 Southwest Florida Coastal Risk MAP Strictly update the coastal portions of the Flood Insurance Study Update ONLY Flood Insurance Rate Map panels impacted by coastal flooding Counties to be studied: Sarasota DeSoto Charlotte Lee Hendry Collier* *Modeling is not being updated 12

13 Project Work Plan Perform coastal storm surge and wave height analyses for Sarasota, Charlotte and Lee Counties Surge only analysis for DeSoto and Hendry Counties (if necessary) First pass analysis for Collier County Perform coastal floodplain delineation Develop coastal Risk MAP products for all six counties Support Discovery and outreach to create ownership of the coastal analysis at state and local level Generic representation of storm surge components from 13

14 Different Project, Different Results FDEM Evacuation Study Study completed in 2010 to map inundation levels for evacuation planning Project area includes all of FL coast Base data includes recent LiDAR data Uses SLOSH model FEMA Region IV Recently started study to map 1% annual chance flood hazard area Project includes Southwest Florida counties only Base data will include recent LiDAR data Uses ADCIRC and SWAN Models 14

15 Project Work Schedule Planning & Budgeting: 3 months (Complete) Discovery: 2~4 months (Commenced) Data Development & Sharing: 9~15 months (Commenced) Complete surge modeling early 2016 Complete wave modeling mid 2016 Risk MAP products late 2016 Risk Awareness & Mitigation Outreach: 1~3 months Proposed NFIP Map Changes & Impacts: 1~3 months Preliminary NFIP Map Release & Mitigation Plan Path Forward: 1~3 months Due Process & Path Forward: 9~15 months 15

16 Historical Storm Tracks Since 1850, 38 storms 27 Tropical Storms 7 Category 1 2 Category 2 2 Category 3 0 Category 4 16

17 Historical Storm Tracks Since 1950, 15 storms 13 Tropical Storms 0 Category 1 0 Category 2 2 Category 3 0 Category 4 17

18 Sarasota County Sarasota County contains: 4 cities/towns 93 miles of shoreline 56 miles of Surge and Wave Mapping 37 miles of Surge Only Mapping 159 Proposed Transects 18

19 Charlotte and DeSoto Counties, FL Charlotte County contains: 1 city 157 miles of shoreline 142 miles of Surge and Wave Mapping 15 miles of Surge Only Mapping 200 Proposed Transects DeSoto County contains: 1 city 5 miles of Surge Only Mapping 19

20 Lee and Hendry Counties, FL Lee County contains: 5 cities/towns 252 miles of shoreline 237 miles of Surge and Wave Mapping 15 miles of Surge Only Mapping 389 Proposed Transects Hendry County contains: 1 city in project area 7 miles of Surge Only Mapping 20

21 Collier County, FL Collier County contains: 3 cities/towns 86 miles of shoreline No Surge or Wave Modeling from SWFL Study No New Transects from SWFL Study 1 st Pass Analysis Reduced Discovery and Risk MAP Products 21

22 Data Collected to Date We have reviewed data and documentation that are available: Topographic Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) (2007) Bathymetry Data NOAA NOS Database/USACE Navigation Surveys, Bathymetric LiDAR Historic Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports (including Preliminary FIRMs in production) Aerial imagery (2011, 2012) 22

23 Additional Data Reviewed In addition, we have reviewed the following available data and documentation: Your FEMA-approved Local Mitigation Strategies Previous flood hazard studies conducted Flood insurance policies and claim information Letters of Map Amendment and/or Letters of Map Revision Average Annualized Loss (AAL) information Census data Federal and State disaster information Data from other Federal/State agencies 23

24 Next Steps We have provided you: A questionnaire to gain knowledge about the flood risk in your community and requests data for the study A Project Charter March 2012: Discovery Meetings March 4: Sarasota County (2:00 pm) March 5: Charlotte/DeSoto Counties (9:00 am) March 5: Lee/Hendry Counties (2:00 pm) March 6: Collier County (9:00 am) 24

25 Discovery Process Discovery Data Collection Period Stakeholder coordination and data analysis Discovery Meeting Initial Discovery Maps Post-Meeting Review Final Discovery Report and Discovery Maps 25

26 Discovery Products and Results Final Discovery Report Final Discovery Map Including feedback from participants Visual representation of meeting outcomes Project Charter Good faith effort by all Share data Communicate findings Plan mitigation activities 26

27 Taking Action Mitigation and risk reduction only happens at the local level Risk MAP can provide: Risk identification and awareness Education on mitigation alternatives Technical and outreach assistance Risk MAP can also provide information about: Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants Other Federal Agency grants to support mitigation activities Technical assistance provided by related trade associations 27
