“STORMTOOLS FOR PRACTITIONERS”

Train professionals who will use the tool to access and import data sets for more advanced analysis

STORMTOOLS25-year Storm Event +SLR

WARWICK – Floodwater could create a barrier

between Warwick Neck and mainland.

Police / Fire / EMA• Service areas cutoff or limited by flooding?• Facilities at risk of being offline from

flooding?

Police /Fire / EMA• First responders• Recovery efforts

STORMTOOLS25-year Storm Event +SLR

WARWICK – Is placement of existing fire stations sufficient for serving

Warwick Neck during a storm event?

STORMTOOLS100-year Storm Event + 5-feet SLR,water depths

BARRINGTON / WARREN - Transportation• Evacuation routes• Functionality and service areas• Alternate routes / road relocations• Design life of infrastructure/assets

Coastal Environmental Risk Index

Will provide a summary of the risk coastal areas face from the environment:

• storm flooding and associated waves

• sea level rise• shoreline erosion

SHORELINE CHANGE SAMP: ON-GOING PROJECTS

• Update (to include 2014) Shoreline Change Maps for Washington County (HUD and RIBRWCT Funded)

• Project future shoreline change for the South Shore (NOAA PSM Funding)

• Continue monitoring the short-term (monthly/post-storm) response of shoreline using profiles, differential GPS and RTK-GPS (RIBRWCT/Eastern Connecticut funded)
