</span></b><span style="font-size:11.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">With funding from the <b>RI Office of Community and Housing Development
</b>and in coordination with <b>RI Coastal Resources Management Council (RI CRMC),</b> researchers from the University of RI, Ocean Engineering and Environmental Data Center have developed
<b>STORMTOOLS Design Elevation (SDE) Maps</b>. These maps have been designed to represent the once in hundred-year flooding and associated wave environment, and explicitly include the effects of sea level rise.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Following FEMA methodology, the maps are provided in the form of Base Flood Elevations (BFE) and can be used to assist in the design of structures and infrastructure in the state. They have also been specifically
structured to support CRMC’s new risk-based application review detailed in Chapter 5 of the CRMC Shoreline Change Special Area Management Plan (Beach SAMP). (See:
</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:blue"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.beachsamp.org_beachsamp-2Ddocument_&d=DwQFAg&c=tSLbvWYfvulPN3G_n48TUw&r=0lGS4Hd8nx4fEu6Mi8WFfbWJIM_1sIa8jowLJE7DNno&m=xmype6ZQ8BK1k9PPvz8TvcyHQG-LzZJzjdNPxtTGg4Y&s=xwcbDcbuWNkSkhmkChTsR8BAKbL5v0KoiE5Vq-EZw9c&e=">http://www.beachsamp.org/beachsamp-document/</a></span><span style="font-size:11.5pt">). The SDE maps are available online for the southern RI coast and Narragansett Bay (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__crc-2Duri.maps.arcgis.com_home_index.html&d=DwQFAg&c=tSLbvWYfvulPN3G_n48TUw&r=0lGS4Hd8nx4fEu6Mi8WFfbWJIM_1sIa8jowLJE7DNno&m=xmype6ZQ8BK1k9PPvz8TvcyHQG-LzZJzjdNPxtTGg4Y&s=ehVrIQ0JpmIVknn6Jmr1800NdYlgPdTG3t0LZ7yKLYU&e=">https://crc-uri.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html</a>).

<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#1C1C1C">Two training session will be held to help in using SDE maps for permit application guidance and engineering design targeted at coastal communities, regulators, and the engineering community responsible
for the design of structures and infrastructure. The first will be held on <b>October 24, 2018
</b>for engineering consultants and municipal officials (town engineer, planner, building officials, etc.) in the Challenger Conference Room, Ocean Science & Exploration Center, University of RI, Bay Campus, Narragansett, RI and the second on
<b>November 9, 2018 </b>for state agency permitting staff (CRMC, DEM, DOT, etc.) at Department of Administration Conference Room 2B Conference Room, 1 Capitol Hill Street, Providence, RI.
