Vulnerability Assessment


What is a Vulnerability Assessment?

Assesses the extent to which a community is vulnerable to adverse impacts from flooding resulting from:
1. Increased frequency and duration of rainfall events
2. Storm surge from more frequent and severe weather systems
3. Sea level rise
Such adverse impacts pose economic, social, environmental, and public health and safety challenges to the state.
