As part of the South Florida Water Management District's (SFWMD) ongoing resiliency efforts, we are encouraging stakeholders and the public to share their comments on the Draft 2025 District Sea Level Rise and Flood Resiliency Plan.
The draft plan details regional resiliency projects and outlines the SFWMD’s proactive approach to reducing the risks of flooding, sea level rise, and other climate impacts on water resources and water management infrastructure. It also describes efforts to strengthen the resiliency of communities, the economy, and ecosystems in South Florida. The latest updates to the plan were presented during the SFWMD’s Resiliency Coordination Forum on May 28, 2025. To view the recording of the forum and access related materials, visit the Resiliency Coordination Forum webpage.
The draft 2025 plan includes an interactive map that makes it easy for the public to find project locations and relevant information. View the Draft 2025 Sea Level Rise and Flood Resiliency Plan Map.
Public comments can be submitted for both the plan and the map. The comments will be evaluated and will play an important role in shaping the final 2025 Sea Level Rise and Flood Resiliency Plan. The deadline to submit comments is Friday, June 20, 2025. 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 critical flood control infrastructure can effectively adapt to changing conditions
