Modernize infrastructure development standards in the region.

STRATEGIES

WS-8.1 Modernize planning, design standards and permitting for development and infrastructure improvements of drainage systems, surface water management systems, and finished floor elevations to reflect updates that integrate future climate conditions into groundwater table maps, flood elevation maps and tidal elevations. Consider incremental adaptations to incorporate uncertainty in future climate conditions.
