- Identified several potential funding sources to support the implementation of hazard mitigation measures
- Engaged the community through two workshops and meetings and an ongoing community survey to align with stakeholders’ needs and priorities
Project History
Florida Statutes 380.093 created the Resilient Florida Grant Program, which recognizes Florida’s vulnerability to adverse impacts of flooding due to climate change and seeks to provide a comprehensive assessment to support regional resilience.
The City of West Miami commissioned APTIM to complete their assessment of risks from climate stressors such as storm surge flooding, sea level rise, and compound flooding. This entailed data collection, flood scenario modeling, sensitivity analysis, and public outreach to shape strategies that balance technical recommendations on infrastructure risks with local priorities.
