AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Presentation on the final results under the agreement with Stetson
University to improve elevation data and analyze opportunities and barriers for use in sea level rise
adaptation planning, including an update to the County's GreenKeys climate change and resilience
plan.
ITEM BACKGROUND: This item is to provide a presentation on the GreenKeys Plan update and,
in particular, grant deliverables from the County/Stetson/NOAA grant: Advancing Understanding of
Risk: Increasing Accuracy of Hazard Damage Assessment Tools by Improving Base Data and
Analyzing Opportunities and Barriers for Use in Adaptation Planning will be presented. The
presentation will provide a brief update on work that has been completed pursuant to the GreenKeys
5-Year Work Plan and the Stetson/NOAA Grant. Deliverables from the NOAA Grant that have
been incorporated into the GreenKeys planning process include:
• Legal and policy work related to road adaptation,
• Updated stormwater future conditions analysis and data about individual structures, and
• A narrative to support improvement in other County flood-related programs
Background: Monroe County is receiving the following under the agreement:
• Extend and evaluate the effectiveness of using existing local engagement tools, specifically the
Vulnerability, Consequences, and Adaptation Planning Scenarios (VCAPS) tool. The data
development, damage assessments, and adaptation discussions will be based upon local needs
and priorities identified using the VCAPS methodology. Monroe County is assisting in the effort
by identifying our critical infrastructure, public property, and resources that are the most
important components for our disaster resiliency and recovery. VCAPS sessions will be
conducted in our community.
• Develop more accurate, survey-quality local elevation data to develop more precise hazard
damage costs assessments. This will be done by updating and modernizing Monroe County's
GIS data for Monroe County facilities to include complete building footprints and public record

Elevation Certificate data for finished floor elevations of buildings. The project will demonstrate
a model for improving damage assessments of critical infrastructure by (1) digitizing building
footprints of county facilities in a GIS format for structures associated with critical infrastructure
identified in the VCAPS process and (2) digitizing the elevation data contained in Elevation
Certificate surveys.
• The data developed in this project and the County-owned facility hazard assessments will be
used to engage the community for input. Then the results will be used to inform the local hazard
planning, policy and legal framework in order to build local government capacity to address
coastal risks. This will be accomplished by analyzing our laws, regulations and policies that may
affect our ability to undertake adaptation measures, with a focus on our legal duties to provide
infrastructure and emergency management services. The findings will be compared to the
significance of the variations among communities in our region and how potential adaptation
needs identified by the VCAPS process and the HAZUS modeling may be affected by the legal
and policy framework in which those adaptation measures take place. This will provide ground
work for understanding future opportunities and barriers to resilience planning.
