Palm River Infrastructure Assessment

Vulnerability Assessment Exposure Analysis The first step of this assessment evaluates the exposure of Hillsborough County assets within the redevelopment area. The exposure analysis is the

first step in completing a vulnerability assessment identifying potential flood threats and assets exposed to flooding. As part of this analysis, Asset Threat Matrices were developed to identify the flood exposure for the following assets: • County Maintained Roads • Evacuation Routes • Hospitals

• Shelters • Schools • Libraries • Public Pump Stations It was determined that there are no libraries, hospitals, or shelters within the Palm River Redevelopment Area. The County assets within this area were analyzed based on the following flood threats: • 100-Year Event - Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) Board Certified Delaney Creek Watershed 100-year floodplain • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Maps • Category 1 and 3 Hurricane - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Storm Surge Maps • 2050 Intermediate and High Sea Level Rise (SLR) - UF’s Sea Level Scenario Sketch Planning Tool (2017 NOAA rates) To determine if an asset is exposed to flooding, the flood data was overlayed on top of the asset locations. If the flood area intersects the asset footprint, then the asset is considered exposed.
