Updates to floodplain, coastal and wetland, and/or hazard mitigation plans | Updated plans should consider the impact of both current and projected extreme weather and natural disaster-related conditions (e.g., coastal flooding, proximity to a flood plain, and the frequency and severity of major storm events and droughts) on the long-term safety, stability and suitability of the proposed land reuses. |
Evaluate Reuse options that consider impacts from extreme weather events and natural disasters | Discussion of observed and forecasted natural hazard conditions and the associated site-specific risk are part of any reuse considerations. Both current and forecasted extreme weather events and natural disasters may impact the effectiveness of a remedial alternative. |
Identify potential risk factors and infrastructure or utility vulnerabilities | Identify potential risk factors and infrastructure or utility vulnerabilities resulting directly from the impacts of increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and natural disasters. Possible risk factors and vulnerabilities may include proximity to the ocean, infrastructure vulnerabilities, property affected by a revised FEMA flood plain, drought monitor, or wildfire risk map, vulnerability related to changes in frequency and intensity of precipitation events, vulnerability of soil type due to moisture and hydraulic changes, and ground and surface drinking water vulnerabilities. |
