Sea-Level Rise in Tampa – Policy Program Summary

The City of Tampa has been awarded a $75k grant from The Florida

Resilient Coastlines Program (FRCP) to study the impacts of sea levels rise on our community and to identify key recommendations for resilience planning.

With the grant the Florida Center for Community Design and Research will complete an analysis of current land use zoning and building regulations and recommend strategies to prepare for projected sea level rise impacts.

This webinar will inform community stakeholders of the project and of the potential implications. We have assembled a great list of local and national experts on sea level rise to support our efforts. The agenda is found on the next page and will include session on:

• The State of Sea Level Rise In Tampa Bay• Why Should We Be Concerned?

• What Areas of the City are most at risk to Sea Level Rise?

• What can we learn from other communities?

• Regulatory options in response to Sea Level Rise
