Flood vulnerability assessment : City of Beaufort, SC

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.
