1 Hermosa Beach Community Meeting April 14, 2014 Vulnerability and Adaptation to Sea Level Rise Addressing Coastal Risks through Hermosa Beach s General Plan Susanne Moser, Ph.D. Julie Ekstrom, Ph.D. Susanne Moser Research & Consulting
2 Overview 1. RISKS How much sea level rise and associated flood and erosion risks does the City face? 2. VULNERABILITIES Where and in what ways are infrastructure, the built environment, business activity and city residents vulnerable? 3. PREPARATION AND RESPONSE OPTIONS How can the City address these risks and reduce its vulnerabilities through appropriate preparatory and adaptive actions?

8 Influences on Global and Regional SLR Source: NRC (2012)
9 What about the S. California Coast? Historical SLR: 8 inches Avg. California SLR by 2030: 6 in ( in. range) 2050: 12 in (5-24 in. range) 2100: 36 in (16-66 in. range) More in southern California than Northern California Source: NRC (2012)
10 Storms, El Niños Will Magnify SLR Source: Caldwell et al (2013)
11 Source: NRC (2012) Global sea level is rising primarily because land ice is melting and ocean water is expanding as it warms ~ 8 in. over 20 th century (from tide gages) Since 1993 ~double that rate (from satellites & tide gages) Over 21 st century: 4-7 x historical rate
12 What Effects Can We Expect in Hermosa Beach and Along LA County? Waves and run up reach higher elevations and extend farther inland Increased erosion of beaches Increased risk of bluff failures Coastal flooding with higher surges, flood elevations Permanent inundation of natural habitat Reduced capacity to absorb runoff Saltwater intrusion into coastal groundwater storm All of this worse if tracking on the high end scenario Photo: huffingtonpost.com

18 Guidance on Key Terms Climate Change Impacts Consequences of climate change on natural and human systems (the hazards potentially faced or actually experienced). Vulnerability = Susceptibility to change or harm from climate variability, climate change and climatic extremes. Exposure = The degree to which a system is at risk, i.e., would experience the threat, if it unfolded. Sensitivity = The degree to which a system is affected, either adversely or beneficially, by climatic hazard (i.e., the potential severity of impact if experienced). Adaptive capacity = The ability of a system to respond to climate change (including climate variability and extremes), to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, and to cope with the consequences. Adaptation = Adjustments in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic hazards, aimed at minimizing harm or taking advantage of beneficial opportunities.
19 Social Vulnerability Not everyone is equally vulnerable! Range of factors matter: Income and poverty Race Females as head of household Age Housing type (percent rentals) Physical and mental illnesses and disabilities Transient populations Photos (t>b): newsone.com; freeimages.com; S. Moser

21 So. Vuln. and 100 year Flooding w/ 55 in. SLR Source: Ekstrom & Moser (2014)
22 Water Related Infrastructure >90% impermeable surface Back up of runoff during heavy rainfall events More street flooding Recent stormwater system overhaul very helpful Sewage system deficient, need for rehab already recognized Additional challenges from saltwater intrusion, corrosion
23 Structural Vulnerabilities 202 buildings exposed, incl. 143 residential buildings a church parking lot (at 1540 Hermosa Avenue) 13 government owned buildings Replacement value of buildings and contents (Hazus database) $35 million (in 2000$) Not incl. growth, infill, value change
24 Buildings at Risk Source: Ekstrom & Moser (2014)
25 Transportation Routes Emergency Response Source: Los Angeles County Draft General Plan (December 26, 2013) No major emergency routes impacts IN Hermosa Beach BUT: Access to those roads partially disrupted AND: Access to flooded neighborhoods limited
26 Tsunami Inundation/Evacuation Key Ares at risk now: Downtown District, Hermosa Avenue Hermosa Valley Elementary School 1645 Valley City Lifeguard 1201 The Strand Seven Pump Stations 3500 The Strand Sources: City of Hermosa Beach (tsunami inundation), Pacific Institute (flood w/ SLR)
