The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is actively addressing the impacts of rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and changing rainfall and flood patterns. As part of our ongoing efforts, we are encouraging stakeholders and the public to share their comments on the 2023 Draft District Sea Level Rise and Flood Resiliency Plan.
The draft plan details regional resiliency projects and outlines the SFWMD’s proactive approach to tackling the challenges posed by a changing climate on South Florida's water resources. The latest updates to the plan were presented during the SFWMD’s Resiliency Coordination Forum on May 24, 2023. To view the recording of the forum and access related materials, visit SFWMD.gov/Resiliency.
The comments will be evaluated and will play an important role in shaping the 2023 Sea Level Rise and Flood Resiliency Plan. The deadline to submit comments is Friday, June 23, 2023. All comments must be emailed to resiliency@sfwmd.gov.
SFWMD is at the forefront of resiliency planning and actively collaborates with stakeholders, local governments, and experts to develop strategies and project plans that ensure our infrastructure can effectively adapt to changing conditions.
