AGENDA ITEM WORDING: SUSTAINABILITY: Presentation on the updated county-wide
Vulnerability Assessment for Monroe County being performed under contract with Erin L. Deady LLC
and funded by Resilient Florida Grant 22PLN66. 10:00 A.M. TIME APPROXIMATE.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
In 2022, Monroe County, Layton and Key Colony Beach were awarded Resilient Florida grants (100%
funded) to conduct vulnerability assessments to comply with new statutory criteria enacted in Section
380.093, F.S. These vulnerability assessments must now address more flooding scenarios and
incorporate more analysis of defined"assets"which include:
1. Transportation
2. Critical infrastructure(water, wastewater, electric)
3. Community and Emergency facilities (schools and hospitals)
4. Natural resources, wetlands, shorelines, cultural and historic resources.
The flooding scenarios previously evaluated in the 2021 vulnerability assessment included sea level rise
and storm surge. The new criteria require the County to also evaluate tidal flooding, sea level rise,
storm surge, rainfall and combination flooding (multiple simultaneous flooding events).
The vulnerability assessments must account for assets that both the County and municipalities own and
maintain and those that are considered "regionally significant", which means the County may not own
and maintain them, but they are still important to the community. Marathon, Key West and Islamorada
are also conducting vulnerability assessments presently as well. The fact that all these efforts are being
undertaken simultaneously is helpful in that the County can share asset information, flood depths,
scenario standards and run consistent evaluation across the projects. These efforts will bring the County
and municipalities into compliance with the 2021-enacted criteria for conducting vulnerability
assessments.
This presentation is the first of several updates to the BOCC where elements of the analysis, outputs and
recommendations will be presented to the County Commission. In this presentation an overview of the
3627
project, approach, tools for evaluation will be provided along with a preview of some initial flooding
maps and projections. Subsequent presentations will address how the County will evaluate the assets
based on the flooding scenarios and also how assets are prioritized, which is a required element of the
vulnerability assessment planning process.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
April 19, 2023: Approval of a $75,000 amendment no. 1 to planning grant 22PLN66, from the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection under the Resilient Florida Grant Program, to conduct
neighborhood outreach to obtain feedback while updating the Monroe County Vulnerability
Assessment.
May 17, 2023: Approval of Modification# 1 to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program(HMGP) subgrant agreement H0856 with Florida Division of
Emergency Management to develop Watershed Management Plans for Layton, Key Colony Beach and
Marathon, increasing federal funding by $399,506.25 and bringing the total grant amount to $693,800.
The 25% match will be provided by Resilient Florida Vulnerability Assessment grants 22PLN65
(Marathon) and 23PLN97 (Layton/Key Colony Beach). No County funds are expended for this work.
May 17, 2023: Approval to enter into a $734,700 contract with Erin L. Deady PA for consulting
services to provide Watershed Management Plans for Monroe County, Layton, Key Colony Beach and
Marathon as funded by Florida Division of Emergency Management(FDEM) grant H0856 and H0856-
Al and a vulnerability assessment update and neighborhood outreach for Monroe County as funded
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Grant 22PLN66 and 22PLN66-Al.
June 21, 2023: Approval to enter into a $137,875 amendment no. 1 to the contract with Erin L. Deady
PA for consulting services to conduct a vulnerability assessment for Layton and Key Colony Beach as
funded by Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Grant 23PLN97.
July 19: 2023: Approval to enter into a no cost amendment no. 2 to the contract with Erin L. Deady PA
for consulting services to extend the period of performance for the watershed management plan services
by one year, pursuant to FDEM grant H0856-02.

GENERAL
ELEMENTS OF
VULNERABILITY
A S S E S S M E N T S
• Vulnerability assessments are used to ascertain the susceptibility of a natural
or human system to sustaining damage from climate change. Vulnerability is a
function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity.
• Exposure- The presence of people, livelihoods, species or ecosystems,
environmental services and resources, infrastructure, or economic,
social, or cultural assets in places that could be adversely affected by a
hazard.
• Sensitivity- The degree to which a system, asset, or species may be
affected, either adversely or beneficially, when exposed to climate
variability or change or geophysical hazards.
• Adaptative capacity- The ability of systems, institutions, humans, and
other organisms to adjust to potential damage, to take advantage of
opportunities, or to respond to consequences of hazards.
