Professional Note: These tools are based on EPA, DOE, and NOAA vulnerability assessment methodologies. For full professional assessments, contact our GISP-certified team.

1. Critical Asset Categorization Tool

Based on: F.S. 380.093(2)(a) statutory definitions

Categorize assets into 4 statutory categories:

2. Risk Matrix Calculator

Based on: EPA/DOE/NOAA Risk Assessment Methodology

Formula: Risk = Hazard Probability × Consequence Magnitude

3. NOAA 2022 SLR Scenario Selector

Based on: F.S. 380.093(3)(d)3.b - Post-July 1, 2024 requirements

Required Scenarios: Intermediate-Low + Intermediate (minimum)

Scenario 2040 (20-yr) 2070 (50-yr) Status
Intermediate-Low ~0.5 ft ~1.5 ft Required
Intermediate ~1.0 ft ~2.5 ft Required
Intermediate-High ~1.5 ft ~4.0 ft Optional

Values interpolated from Florida Flood Hub data - exact values vary by NOAA gauge location

4. Four-Component Flood Analysis

Based on: F.S. 380.093(3)(d)2 + DEP Checklist Items G-J

ComponentDEP ItemRequirementStatus
1. Tidal Flooding Item G 2ft above MHHW + flood days
2. Storm Surge Item H 100-year minimum event
3. Rainfall-Induced Item I 100-yr & 500-yr storms
4. Compound Flooding Item J Combined where practicable

5. Grant Eligibility Calculator

Based on: F.S. 380.093(5)(e) - Financially Disadvantaged Community Criteria

6. 4-Tier Project Ranking Estimator

Based on: F.S. 380.093(5)(g) - Project Scoring System

  • Risk reduction effectiveness
  • Regionally significant assets addressed
  • Areas with high % vulnerable assets
  • Contribution to existing mitigation
  • NFIP Community Rating System benefits

Maximize by: Focus on high-risk regional assets, demonstrate risk reduction, align with NFIP

  • Current flooding/erosion severity
  • Project readiness (design, permits, funding)
  • Nature-based solutions & habitat enhancement
  • Cost-effectiveness

Maximize by: Document current impacts, advance project design, use nature-based approaches

  • Local/state/federal matching funds availability
  • Previous state commitment to project
  • Exceeds FL Building Code flood requirements

Maximize by: Secure matching funds, reference prior state funding, exceed building codes

  • Innovative technologies
  • Regional collaboration
  • Assists financially disadvantaged communities

Maximize by: Demonstrate innovation, show regional cooperation, serve disadvantaged areas

7. Vulnerability Scoring Calculator

Based on: EPA/NOAA Framework - Vulnerability = Exposure + Sensitivity - Adaptive Capacity

Current: 2 (0=None, 4=Extreme)

Current: 2 (0=Low, 4=High)

Current: 1 (0=None, 3=High)

8. GIS Data Validator

Based on: F.S. 380.093(3)(c)2.b + DEP GIS Data Standards

Required GIS Standards:
  • ✓ Projection: Florida State Plane Coordinate System
  • ✓ Datum: NAVD88 vertical datum
  • ✓ Format: Electronic format suitable for DEP mapping tool
  • ✓ Metadata: DEP-prescribed standards must be included
  • ✓ Accuracy: Suitable precision for 50-year projections

9. Planning Horizon Selector
