Natural Assets
• Provide an understanding of the system’s vulnerabilities
• Develop a prioritized list of assets that are at risk to extreme weather
• Make informed decisions about the costs & benefits of potential mitigation options
• Support making decisions on how to best prioritize solutions with limited resources
• An overall vulnerability score is developed by weighting the three components
• Vulnerability scores reviewed to ensure scores reflect local conditions

Asset Type Indicator
Description
Asset Storm Surge
Road Elevation of Asset
Storm Surge
Nuisance Flooding
Wildfires
The higher the asset is, the less likely it would be inundated and damaged from storm surge.
Exposure Score
Bridge Bridge Height Bridges with less clearance above the waterway are more likely to experience storm surge heights that reach their deck.
Scour Rating
Bridges that have already been identified as having problems with scour are more likely to be damaged during storm surge events.
Nuisance Flooding
Elevation of Asset
Road
Proximity to Coast
Bridge Bridge Age
If an asset is located at a relatively low elevation compared to surrounding areas, water may tend to "pond" there, causing flooding during heavy precipitation events.
Areas near the coast, to where water drainage flows, could back up and flood sooner than the inland areas.
Older bridges may have been built to outdated design standards, rendering them more sensitive to precipitation events than bridges designed more recently.

- The refined project list will be informed based on Phase I recommendations, improved data, local jurisdiction guidance and preference.
- Will be further informed based on lessons learned from Hurricane Ian.
- Potential mitigation measures will be identified for project development.
