Increased Flood Resilience
What does this outcome look like in Richmond? Sufficient storm runoff drainage in all neighborhoods with no standing water, the adequate capacity of the city’s stormwater management system with regular maintenance to ensure effectiveness against long term evolving climate impacts; efficient emergency response during heavy precipitation events; increased green infrastructure, and significant reduction of impermeable surface coverage across all of Richmond.
How will this outcome be measured?
The Office of Sustainability has developed indicators to measure the progress of the improved flood resilience outcome.
Indicator: The number of incidents of standing water, flooding, and emergency service during heavy precipitation events.
Equity Indicator: The number of calls/311 requests for standing water, flooding, and emergency service during heavy precipitation events by census tract (and/or race and ethnicity if available).
