96731155City of Buenos AiresBuenos AiresArgentinaLatin AmericaC40Public2017Coastal floodReal time risk monitoringCoastal floods are related to “Sudestada” phenomenon that includes severe southeast winds that push the river into land, not allowing drainage and it is usually accompanied by severe rainfall. This phenomenon may accelerate the river level rise in Buenos Aires. The wind that blows during Sudestadas is from the opposite direction from the normal flow of the Rio de la Plata, blocking its normal drainage pushing the water towards the coast and producing flooding. Faced with this situation the city has created an early warning system, which is provided by the underground information in real time on rainfall and storm effects in different neighborhoods of the City. It is equipped with water level sensors (limnigraphs) located in rainfall drainage systems which provide data of the amount of water concentrated in relation to pipe capacity during heavy rainfall events. In the same line, the City of Buenos Aires has a weather alert network run by the Emergency Squad which counts with eight stations.Within the Director of Emergency Plan, Sudestadas are considered one of the threats that the City faced, therefore have operational action plans to address them with the help from Civil Defense personnel. Although the phenomenon cannot be avoided, measures to mitigate its consequences are been developed: water reservoirs parks that hold rainwater, which will drain afterwards;and training of first responders. The Coordination and Control Center (CUCC, in its Spanish abbreviation) monitors in real time critical city points and storm drains receive and process all emergency calls, coordinating response with the corresponding areas. Furthermore, the Ministry of Habitat and Inclusion and the Ministry of Urban Development does infrastructure improvements, tree planting among other actions in order to reduce vulnerability to coastal flooding. Moreover, the Buenos Aires Green Program plans to expand and improve the permeable green surface and the amount of public woodland, because of the ability of these natural factors to absorb and retain rainwater.(-34.6037232°, -58.3815931°)(-38.416097°, -63.616672°)

Last spring, after a competitive process, GM&B was selected to join 100 Resilient Cities. As part of this program, Miami Beach’s sustainability plans will be updated. This will include a review and analysis of existing plans such as transportation, open space, Comprehensive Development Master Plans (CDMP) and robust stakeholder involvement. Therefore, GM&B will integrate these two processes and create an overarching strategy to help prioritize and intensify our focus on initiatives with key economic, social, and/or environmental sustainability and resiliency benefits. The City conducted a vulnerability assessment in 2016-2017 to inform the prioritization of assets or adaptation planning by reviewing City-owned assets to understand their vulnerability to sea level rise and tidal flooding with the purpose of informing decision-making for future capital investment._

The City’s existing initiatives include its Stormwater Management Master Plan, which is the first municipal stormwater management plan in the region to account for projected sea level rise. Additionally, the City has engaged the community in a series of public meetings and workshops regarding sea level rise and resiliency planning._
