  1. Hazards Profile Understand your relevant hazards

  2. Video – Rising Waters in Connecticut Go to the Roadmap website. Adjust your computer volume, if necessary. Click the ‘Sea Level Rise in Connecticut’ title Watch this video and think about how this story might relate to your community.

  3. Be Comprehensive Think big and small Think current and future

  4. Explore hazards history and impacts . . .

  5. . . . starting with existing plans, reports, and assessments

  6. Include risk maps and information to help with prioritization

  7. Find stories (examples, anecdotes, and photos) to supplement other data sources

  8. Consider hazard impacts on a full range of operations

  9. Local Hazards What are some of the key hazards that have affected your community?

  10. Local Hazards • Flooding • Landslides • Wildfires • Coastal Storms • Tsunamis

  11. Explore climate trends and issues

  12. Heat-Related Health Issues and Precipitation Issues Hurricane and Storm Impacts Coastal Land Loss Impacts and

  13. You will face uncertainty Avoid Analysis Paralysis Pursue No Regrets Strategies

  14. Strategic Adaptation Long term implementation process Adaptation “Sweet Spot” = Opportunities + Incremental Actions

  15. Climate Impacts How could climate-driven changes affect your hazard risks and impacts?

  16. Tools and Resources Tools and resources for assessing hazard risks

  17. Spatial Hazard Events and Losses Database for the United States (SHELDUS)

  18. Digital Flood Data • Available through FEMA website or state flood plain manager

  19. SLOSH ModelSea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes Modeling storm surge for hurricane preparedness

  20. Mapping Coastal Inundation Step-wise framework for creating inundation maps

  21. NOAA Sea Level Trends 2.24 mm/year risefrom 1913 to 2006 Equivalent to 0.73 feet in 100 years
