Agenda- Continued Presentation: Measuring Coastal Flood Loss Attributed to Sea Level Rise, City of Baltimore, MARYLAND - Cynthia McCoy New Member - Kimberly Pettit PA GIS Pro surveys Thomas Mueller, California University of Pennsylvania HAZUS How to.. Recorded presentations Results of NCR HUG HAZUS Training Needs Discussion of Region III HAZUS Training Assessment 4
Measuring Coastal Flood Loss Attributed to Sea Level Rise City of Baltimore, MARYLAND Cynthia McCoy Risk Analyst FEMA Region III
Presentation Summary Rationale for Sea-Level Rise Analysis Additional Risk MAP Non-Regulatory Product Development HAZUS Analysis Study Area Data Inputs Utilizing the Results 6
Project Rationale Updated Engineering Model Coastal Flooding Reduced BFEs up to 4 ft. Attributed to Storm surge study results Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) indicate change in flood zones Decrease the number of households required to pay flood insurance Improved Coastal Analysis is not reflective of historic flood risk False sense of safety Advanced HAZUS Analysis will validate implementation of higher standards in the.02% chance flood zone 7
Risk MAP Non-Regulatory Products + Datasets Flood Risk Products Flood Risk Report Flood Risk Map Flood Risk Database Flood Risk Datasets Flood Risk Assessment HAZUS Enhanced Coastal Depth Grids 1% annual chance event Flood Risk Database = Flood Depth and Analysis Grid + Risk Assessment + Changes Since Last FIRM + Areas of Mitigation Interest Flood Risk Assessment = Local Inventory Data + HAZUS Loss Estimation 8
Additional Non-Regulatory Products Enhanced Depth grids Developed by MDE + AMEC Hurricane Isabel (7.5 feet NAVD 88) Hurricane Isabel + 3 feet Hurricane Isabel + 5 feet Hurricane Isabel + 7 feet Depth grids indicate degree of risk Each cell illustrates a depth of water Can be utilized to calculate flood losses for properties which intersect the flood zone generated by that particular flooding event 9
Data Inputs Locally provided data Land-use, building counts, total built area, Replacement value, Age of structures Essential Facilities + Transit Infrastructure point files 2010 Demographics, Population, Number of Households (at Census Block) HAZUS Update - 2010 Census Data Age, Occupancy status, Average rent, Average home value (at Census Tract) Enhanced Depth grids 10
Refined Risk Assessment Advanced HAZUS Analysis Hurricane Wind + Flood Enhanced Depth grids Completely updated inventory Project Area o City of Baltimore + I 695 Corridor in Baltimore County 11
Coastal Flood Results Comparison of Flood Losses from All Coastal events Structural Shelter Need Debris Generation Economic Loss o o Building Loss Business Interruption 12
Geographic Distribution of the Combined Total Economic Losses Low 13
Utilizing the Results HAZUS analyses will define the potential impact from sea-level rise and inform: Public Outreach + Build Public Support o Communicate impacts of the preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and the economic impact to the business community Apply for Community Rating System (CRS) Credit o o o 330 Outreach Projects 350 Points 410 Floodplain Mapping 752 Points 510 Floodplain Management Planning 622 Points Improve emergency planning with first responders More Restrictive Floodplain Regulations o o Update local floodplain ordinance beyond the NFIP requirements to capture potential impacts from sea-level rise Put restrictions on Land Development Incentives in at risk areas 14
Increasing Floodplain Regulations Court cases used to validate need for higher standards Extending floodplain regulations beyond SFHA American Cyanamid, Inc. vs. NJ Department of Environmental Protection NJ DEP Aimed to Modify the flood hazard maps by extending the SFHA to the.02% floodplain to address climate adaptation NJ Statute mandates flood regulation at the 1% annual chance Flooding event + 25% buffer in delineated areas. NJDEP Modification to the flood hazard maps met the statutory mandate. Re Woodford Packers Inc. Challenge to a Vermont regulation that designated floodways based on fluvial erosion instead of the FIRMs. Much broader than FEMA s Minimum standard Court found that fluvial maps more accurate than out of date NFIP maps 15

HAZUS Training Results of NCR HUG HAZUS Training Survey Specific HAZUS Courses Baker, Mohiuddin Shaik Basic HAZUS, HAZUS For Flood, CDMS, HAZUS for Floodplain Managers HAZUS Training Survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/bjf2j2l FEMA Region III Region wide HAZUS Training Needs Assessment Develop Hazus-MH awareness and skills for staff, local officials, and other strategic stakeholders in support of ongoing as well as future disaster mitigation. Empower participants, State and County representatives and communities to be as self supporting as possible with regard to the application of Hazus- MH toward mitigation planning and other disaster related responsibilities. Survey to assess needs 24
