Agenda Surfside Overview Water Disaster Hazards Statewide Challenges Geography Facts and figure Water Disaster Hazards Precipitation Sea Level Rise Storm Surge Statewide Challenges Political Considerations

Surfside – Geography Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfside,_Florida

Surfside – Facts and Figures 0.5 square mile of land Coastal ridge Average elevation – 6 feet Highest elevation - 12 feet ~5,700 residents Water/sewer service provide by Miami-Dade County Pump stations, pipes and stormwater system owned and operated by the Town

Water Disaster Hazards Precipitation Sea Level Rise Storm Surge

Precipitation Average rainfall Built environment restricts percolation 50” to 60” annually High intensity, short duration rain events Built environment restricts percolation Adequacy of stormwater system Source: Google Earth Source: Town of Surfside

Sea Level Rise Education is critically important Consider actions in the short, intermediate and long-term Orderly relocation Source: http://www.southeastfloridaclimatecompact.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2015-Compact-Unified-Sea-Level-Rise-Projection.pdf 4 Feet 2 Feet Source: Climate Central

Storm Surge Raise risk awareness Dunes and sea walls are the front lines Harden essential infrastructure Source: Town of Surfside Source: Miami New Times

Statewide Challenges Population has doubled in last 30 years and set to do so again in next 25 years, increasing by nearly 1,000 people per day Most population centers are located along the coast, vulnerable to coastal flooding Coastal areas are experiencing saltwater intrusion, affecting local water supply Geographic disparity between supplies and demands

Political Considerations Multiple priorities Balance growth with known hazards Don’t be afraid of the science Short-term thinking conflict with long-term solutions Election timing matters Seek out municipal and NGO partners Provide hope not despair
