Newport News Interim Local Resilience Plan
Sustainable Programs Report
CFPF Resilience Plan Element Document’s Relationship to CFPF Resilience Plan Element
1 Project Based This report identifies and prioritizes future projects that focus on flood control and resilience.
2 Nature Based The proposed green infrastructure projects that incorporate nature-based infrastructure were prioritized.
3 Social Equity This report emphasizes not only the environmental and economic benefits but also the social benefits of the proposed
green infrastructure projects.
9 Best Science & Mapping This report uses the best available science.
The Sustainable Programs Report reviewed the green and resilient programs of other local governments to identify programs and strategies that would benefit the
City and align with the City's sustainability goals. Strategies and suitable areas for green development within the City were identified, including proposed green
infrastructure development on city-owned lands (Table 12: Summary of Proposed Green Infrastructure Practice Types and Prioritization) and incentives for
citizens to implement green infrastructure practices on private properties (Table 17: Example Prioritization Methodology for Green Infrastructure BMP Incentive
Program). The costs and the benefits of such developments were analyzed to help inform the prioritization of these projects. The provided recommendations for
incorporating GI into the City's sustainable development strategy can be used to enhance and create new goals for the Roadmap to Sustainability and to establish
a plan for achieving these sustainability goals.
Vulnerability Technical Memorandum
CFPF Resilience Plan Element Document’s Relationship to CFPF Resilience Plan Element
4 Flooding / Repetitive Loss This memorandum factors in previous flooding and repetitive loss into the vulnerability analysis.
9 Best Science & Mapping This memorandum uses the best available science and considers the effects of climate change and sea level rise on the
vulnerability of areas.
The Vulnerability Technical Memorandum provides a comprehensive vulnerability assessment to assess potential flooding impacts on the built environment, land
area, and natural infrastructure (Table 18: Critical Asset Vulnerability Scores). This technical memorandum describes the loss estimation process and presents the
flood impact assessment results for current and future projected coastal flood hazards under four different sea-level rise scenarios: 1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6 feet (Figure
5: Projected flood extent for increasing sea level rise scenarios for the 100-yr flood event). Quantifying the direct economic impact of future flooding will help the
City financially plan for the future and incentivize early investment in stormwater infrastructure and flood mitigation efforts.
