The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council (TBRPC) was awarded grant funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Resilient Florida Program in 2023 to complete the Tampa Bay Regional Inundation Coordination (TBRIC) project.
The goal of the project was to create GIS datasets to assist local governments in conducting vulnerability assessments and meeting the requirements of Section 380.093, Florida Statute and to develop a geoprocessing mapping tool to enable users to map flood hazard vulnerabilities as new guidance and data becomes available. The project also defines best practices, and methodologies to increase consistency among local governments in the Tampa Bay Region.
The TBRIC story map highlights best practices for using the GIS datasets, as well as guidance on using the geoprocessing flood tools for conducting vulnerability assessments.
