Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA) Tool

by

“In the spring of 2018, DHEC-OCRM performed a hazard vulnerability assessment within the South Carolina Critical Area. The critical area is defined as coastal waters, tidelands, beaches and beach/dune system. The assessment was performed using the Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA) tool. The HVA tool is an open-source geospatial tool that evaluates coastal hazard vulnerability from four components:
1) Storm Surge 2) Shoreline Change 3) Flooding 4) Social & Economic Vulnerability
This application displays the results of the HVA analysis, and provides access to downloadable DHEC-OCRM GIS data, links to external data sources, & links to the open-source HVA tool and supporting products.” – SC DHEC
