VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST CERTIFICATION

Vulnerability Assessments using Statutory Requirements Effective July 1, 2024

Exhibit I

Required for all planning grant agreements that include a Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment.

DEP Agreement Number:__________________________

Project Title:_____________________________________________________________________________

Grantee:________________________________________________________________________________

In accordance with subsection 380.093(3), F.S., for a Vulnerability Assessment initiated after July 1, 2024, the following components, scenarios, data, and information are required for a comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment (VA). The checklist must be completed and submitted with the final VA Report deliverable, pursuant to Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan. When filling out the checklist, please provide the corresponding page number in the VA or, if the item is not applicable, an explanation as to why it is not applicable. The Grantee must abide by the Department’s GIS Data Standards found on the Resilient Florida Program webpage:

B Final VA Report that provides details on the results and conclusions, including illustrations via maps and tables.

All electronic mapping data used to illustrate flooding and sea level rise impacts that are identified in the VA must be provided in the format consistent with the Program’s GIS Data Standards and include the three (3) items:

C Geospatial data in an electronic file format.

D GIS metadata.

E

An inventory of critical assets for each jurisdiction, including regionally significant assets, that are currently, or within 50 years are reasonably expected to be, impacted by flooding and sea level rise. The list must be prioritized by area or immediate need and must identify which flood scenario(s) impacts each asset. Critical assets and regionally significant assets are as defined in subsection 380.093(2), F.S.

F

Peril of Flood Comprehensive Plan amendments developed that address paragraph 163.3178(2)(f), F.S. (as applicable)

☐ Noncoastal community/Peril of Flood not required ☐ Already in compliance

G Depth of tidal flooding, including future high tide flooding. The threshold for tidal flooding is 2 feet above mean higher high water.

(as applicable)

G.1 ☐ Analysis geographically displays the number of tidal flood days expected for each scenario and planning horizon.

(to the extent practicable)

H Depth of current and future storm surge flooding using publicly available Florida Flood Hub (FFH) data.

(as applicable)

H.1 ☐ NOAA data ☐ FEMA data

In the absence of FFH data, publicly available NOAA or FEMA storm surge data may be used. (check one, as applicable)

H.2 ☐ Initial storm surge event equals or exceeds current 100-year flood event.

(as applicable)

H.3 ☐ Higher frequency storm analyzed for exposure of a critical asset or regionally significant asset.

(optional, but must provide additional detail if included)

I Rainfall-induced flooding was considered using GIS-based spatiotemporal analysis or existing hydrologic and hydraulic modeling results.

(to the extent practicable but required if Item F is noncoastal)

I.1

☐ Future boundary conditions have been modified to consider sea level rise and high tide conditions. For rainfall-induced flood modeling, the model inputs for the 2050/2080 rainfall scenarios should use projected sea level rise/high tide conditions.

(as applicable)

I.2

☐ Depth of rainfall-induced flooding for 100-year storm and 500-year storm event as defined by the applicable water management district

(WMD).

(required if Item F is noncoastal)

I.3 ☐ If WMD data is not available, data from an appropriate federal agency was used. Agency used: _______________________________

J Compound flooding or the combination of tidal, storm surge, and rainfall-induced flooding.

(to the extent practicable)

(if applicable) K All analyses in North American Vertical Datum of 1988.

L Includes at least two local sea level rise scenarios, which must include the 2022 NOAA intermediate-low and intermediate sea level rise projections.

M Includes at least two planning horizons, which must include years 2050 and 2080.

N Uses local sea level data maintained by the FFH.

N.1 ☐ In the absence of FFH data, local sea level data that has been interpolated between the two closest NOAA tide gauges.

(as applicable)

N.2 ☐ Local, publicly available, sea level data was taken from one of the two closest NOAA tide gauges. Data may be taken from one such gauge if the gauge has a higher mean sea level.

N.3 ☐ An alternate tide gauge with appropriate rationale and Departmental approval.

(if checked, provide Department approval)
