Pinellas County seeks input on community flooding
Pinellas County is assessing sea level rise and storm surge flooding and is seeking input from those who live and work in Pinellas County through a Community Flood Impact Survey.
County staff want to hear about your experiences with flooding in Pinellas County and the places and services in your community that are most important to you. The survey specifically aims to evaluate the following areas:
- Unincorporated County (including Palm Harbor, East Lake, Highpoint, Lealman, Bardmoor, Tierra Verde, etc.)
- Belleair
- Belleair Beach
- Belleair Shore
- Indian Rocks Beach
- Indian Shores
- Madeira Beach
- North Redington Beach
- Pinellas Park
- Redington Beach
- Redington Shores
Through the Sea Level Rise and Storm Surge Vulnerability Assessment, the County is mapping locations at risk of being flooded during high tides, heavy rain, and storm surge now and in the future. Community input from the survey will help the County understand which public facilities and community values should be prioritized as the County decides how to address the consequences of flooding.
