Broward County Critical Assets Vulnerability Assessment

Overview This feature service compiles Broward County critical assets and supporting infrastructure used in vulnerability assessment and resilience planning. It brings together asset footprints, parcel-based facility representations, roadway and evacuation network features, and analytical outputs that describe criticality, vulnerability, risk, elevation, access, and flood exposure. Feature Content Water and utility infrastructure: water treatment plants and master pump stations with facility characteristics, ownership and maintenance information, and flood exposure metrics. Public safety and emergency facilities: shelters, law enforcement sites, fire stations, emergency operations and critical facilities, courthouses, correctional facilities, community centers, and points of distribution.
