Coastal Environmental Risk Index
RI CRMC Policy and Regulations aka“Red Book” • Section 145 “Climate change and Sea Level
Rise”
The Council will:• Proactively plan for and integrate climate
change and SLR scenarios into its programs.
The Council recommends:• STORMTOOLS maps to evaluate inundation
from storm surge and SLR.
STORMTOOLS Impact
Adopted as official surge and SLR projections for R.I.
Coastal Environmental Risk Index CERI - 2016
Quantitative means of assessing community risk to structures and infrastructure accounting for storm surge, waves, SLR, and shoreline change.
GOAL:
Methods:• Coupled ADCIRC/STWAVE
modeling for water levels/waves
• Apply damage curves to compute structural losses
• 100yr event with 0’, 2’, 7’ SLR
Coastal Environmental Risk Index
North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS)Assess flood risks to vulnerable populations, resources and infrastructure
