Welcome to the joint Bayshore Homeowners
Association & City of Miami Beach Open House
Thank you for joining us this evening. We have assembled a talented team of experts and
professionals to answer your questions about sea level rise, flooding, and stormwater
design, construction and operation.
Please make your way through the following stations for a more personalized
conversation about the program and your neighborhood.
SCIENCE & SCENARIOS
Coastal Risk Consulting is a local firm of scientists and engineers that understand our
unique vulnerabilities to sea level rise and climate change. They have developed several
Miami Beach prototypes to help visualize and understand flood risk over time. Spend
some time chatting with them to find which prototype most closely matches your home.
Bring your elevation certificate!
AECOM'S ADAPTATION CALCULATOR
At the city's request AECOM has developed a simple tool to help us all understand
elevation- in layman's terms. You can find out the height of the new storm drain inlets
and the road. You can see how the improved drainage system is designed to handle
more water in the event of a storm — all in simple inches.
ENGINEERS AT WORK
Meet with the city's Assistant City Manager for Public Works and the Director of Capital
Improvement Projects. Learn how the work will be done, how long it will take and how to
harmonize the new work with your personal property.
THE MYSTERIES OF FLOOD INSURANCE
Meet the city's Floodplain Manager whose job is to implement ordinances and policies to
prevent flood damage. He guides the Community Rating Program—saving residents and
businesses on insurance premiums $b million annually. Along with our Deputy Chief
Resilience Officer, they have been working with FEMA to sort through your many
questions about flood insurance. This is a complex matter as you know. Visit them for
answers to your questions and perhaps even share questions that need further research.
Thank you for joining us and for you passion for Miami Beach.
All of us Together are part of Miami Beach Rising Above!
