Future 100-Year Flood Elevation Map Project for Broward County, Florida
The goal of the project is to establish a baseline for future resiliency for Broward County, Florida buildings and infrastructure to prepare for projected sea level rise and climate-change induced hydrological changes. The overall result will be reducing flood risk for development and re-development, while increasing the sustainability of structures over their lifespan. The future 100-year flood elevation map will be incorporated into county code. Leveraging the results of the 100-year flood mapping, the county will establish new regulatory criteria for setting finished floor elevations for development and re-development throughout the county.
