|a Although the potential for hurricanes under current climatic conditions continue to
threaten coastal communities, there is concern that climate change, specifically potential
increases in sea level, could influence the impacts of future hurricanes. To examine the
potential effect of sea level rise on community vulnerability to future hurricanes, we assess
variations in socioeconomic exposure in Sarasota County, FL, to contemporary hurricane
storm-surge hazards and to storm-surge hazards enhanced by sea level rise scenarios.
Analysis indicates that significant portions of the population, economic activity, and critical
facilities are in contemporary and future hurricane storm-surge hazard zones. The addition
of sea level rise to contemporary storm-surge hazard zones effectively causes population
and asset (infrastructure, natural resources, etc) exposure to be equal to or greater than
what is in the hazard zone of the next higher contemporary Saffir–Simpson hurricane
category. There is variability among communities for this increased exposure, with greater
increases in socioeconomic exposure due to the addition of sea level rise to storm-surge
hazard zones as one progresses south along the shoreline. Analysis of the 2050 comprehensive
land use plan suggests efforts to manage future growth in residential, economic
and infrastructure development in Sarasota County may increase societal exposure to
hurricane storm-surge hazards. |
