The ASCE-NCS and AWRA-NCRS are jointly hosting a presentation on “Building a Stormwater Flood Resilience Plan - Mapping to Mitigation” at the Virginia Tech Executive Briefing Center in Arlington. The presentation is given by Mr. Joel Kaatz, who is a National Technical Manager in Stormwater Resilience and co-lead of the Global Flood Risk and Stormwater Management Community of Practice for Arcadis. As a technical advisor and project manager, he specializes in stormwater resiliency assessments, using hydrologic and hydraulic models to adapt communities to increasing precipitation, both inland and as part of coastal flood protection.
Communities face stormwater flood risk driven by intensified precipitation, sea level rise, storm surge, urban development, and funding challenges. This presentation introduces a methodology for developing a Stormwater Flood Resilience Plan, providing a roadmap to assess this risk and implement optimal, equitable, and actionable flood mitigation solutions. There are seven phases described:
Flood Mapping
Layered Flood Exposure Analysis
Defining Level-of-Service Criteria
Gap Analysis and Prioritization of Project Areas
Conceptualize Projects and Estimate Costs
Benefit-Cost-Analysis and Project Selection
Funding, Implementation, and Program Adaptation.
Each phase leverages innovative tools and methods to create actionable outcomes.
