The council discussed a comprehensive vulnerability assessment, which examined the potential impacts of sea-level rise and storm events on the community. The assessment, funded entirely by the state of Florida, included various scenarios that projected different levels of flooding. These scenarios are essential for planning and securing future funding for resilience projects. The analysis identified key areas in the community that might be affected, including public safety facilities and infrastructure. The council considered how these findings could inform future decision-making to mitigate risks associated with climate change.

Additionally, the council explored the implications of high sea-level rise scenarios and their potential impact on local infrastructure. The assessment pointed out areas that might face significant flooding, urging the council to consider proactive measures to fortify vulnerable locations. The discussion also touched on the importance of integrating these assessments into future urban planning and development policies.
