Abstract
Beaufort is at risk to tidal flooding, storm surge, and high intensity rain events. In order to understand how vulnerable City assets are to tidal and precipitation-based flooding, the City engaged a collaborative team of investigators to conduct a study. This report summarizes the methods utilized by the research team to produce flood layers and analyze the vulnerabilities they conferred, the results of the vulnerability assessment, and a discussion of the implications of those results.
