SFRPC staff helped develop a Post-Disaster Redevelopment Plan (PDRP) for the City of Hallandale Beach, following guidance documents published by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and the Florida Division of Emergency Management. Approximately half of the land within Hallandale Beach is located within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area and flooding has been a recurrent problem as Hallandale Beach is home to more than 150 Repetitive Loss Properties (RL). The Hallandale Beach Post Disaster Redevelopment Plan was created to help organize Hallandale Beach so when faced with a major disaster, the City can operate efficiently and take important steps to reduce vulnerability in the future.
A main contribution of the SFRPC in the development of this plan was the production of the Hallandale Beach Post-Disaster Redevelopment Plan Research Report that surveyed the capacity of the City of Hallandale Beach to carry out post-disaster redevelopment following a disaster, using existing plans and information gathered from city officials. In addition, this Report examined the vulnerability of the City of Hallandale Beach and provided a basic implementation structure and basis for the development of the City’s Post-Disaster Redevelopment Plan.
SFRPC staff conducted a transportation analysis using the Sea Level Scenario Sketch Planning Tool that was created by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center (“UF SLS Tool”) with funding from the Florida Department of Transportation. The purpose of this analysis was to create maps for the City of Hallandale Beach that created visualizations of current and future flood risk in seven different scenarios.
The UF SLS Tool identified transportation infrastructure vulnerable to current and future flood risks in various. The maps offer a visualization of the percent of roadway impact by the specific scenario that is sketched separated by category of % impacted. Similar to the NOAA Sea Level Rise Viewer, the UF tool also sketches sea level rise (SLR) scenarios from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/ National Climate Assessment. These maps were utilized as part of a vulnerability assessment to provide input to the development of the Hallandale Beach Post Disaster Redevelopment Plan.
