Resilient Florida funded Draft Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan Public Meeting
The purpose of this Letter to Commission (L TC) is to advise the Mayor and City Commission of
an upcoming public meeting on February 20111 for the draft Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan. This
meeting will take place from 6:00 PM -8:00 PM at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden in the
Banyan Room located at 2000 Convention Center Dr, Miami Beach, FL, 33139.
The City was awarded a Resilient Florida grant
to develop a Sea Level Rise Vulnerability
Assessment and Adaptation Plan. Vulnerability
assessments are required by the Resilient
Florida grant program to be able to apply for
future grant funding. The draft Sea Level Rise
Adaptation Plan, developed by consultant
AECOM, builds upon the Vulnerability
Assessment.

based on evolving climate conditions. The goal of the draft Adaptation Plan is to develop a holistic,
coordinated path of incremental adaptation to flood resilience that addresses the complex,
interconnected nature of sea level rise hazards, which often require a flexible and phased
approach to adapt.
The draft Adaptation Plan was referred to the March 11, 2025 Land Use and Sustainability
Committee for presentation and discussion. The draft plan will be made available to the public
online and comments will be incorporated into the final deliverable.
