Alerted to the increased flood risks posed by sea level rise and potential storm surge riding in on a rising sea, the City of Annapolis is eager to better understand the extent of its coastline at risk, adaptation alternatives and typical costs previously experienced when such alternatives are applied. A rapid assessment method is developed and applied to characterize the coastline, survey the coastline for current and potential adaptation measures and develop a portfolio of potential actions with representative costs. A rapid assessment team is assembled consisting of private sector engineers and architects, an engineering professor from the U.S. Naval Academy and engineers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This paper reports on the method, activities and results to better inform stakeholders of increasing coastal flood risk and potential investment requirements for adaptation.

The Coastal Engineering Research Center at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, is responsible for research that supports the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Civil Works program. This research involves coastal navigation, channel design and maintenance, storm flooding, shore erosion control, and coastal ecology. The ecology research is focused on two major areas: (1) use of coastal vegetation for engineering purposes and (2) effects of coastal engineering activities on the biological environment. The objectives and accomplishments of the ecology research are discussed and specific examples of field guidance are presented.

Spatial Approach

Attention to damage assessment is always a priority especially in cases of natural disaster. The state of Kelantan is known to be one of a few Malaysian states with noticeable natural disaster, in particular, flood. In December 2014, an extraordinary magnitude of flood – nicknamed as yellow flood – struck the state causing hundreds of million ringgit of damage to properties. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a spatial approach to estimating property damage incurred by flood. By selecting a badly affected area, GIS was used to map geo-referenced flood-hit location in Kuala Krai, Kelantan. Flood hazard was modelled and superimposed on estimated property damage. GIS spatial technique was then employed to estimate the flood damage incurred. This study, however, did not make a complete damage assessment of the properties but rather focusing on the methodology of damage assessment to show how it can be implemented. In conclusion, GIS spatial technique can generally be used to provide flood damage rapid assessment method.
