Stormwater study and climate vulnerability assessment give Pembroke Park a 10‑year CIP and grant playbook

Tiffany Stanton, a civil engineer with Kimberly Horne, and Giselle Gutierrez, a civil analyst who led the town’s vulnerability assessment, presented linked stormwater studies that lay out a 10‑year capital improvement plan and target areas for climate‑resilience grants.

The stormwater master plan provides a hydraulically calibrated model of the town’s drainage network, recommended performance goals aligned with county and state guidance, and a ranked list of nine projects intended to reduce street and property flooding. “We are recommending that you keep your roads dry in a 10‑year storm event,” Tiffany said, and noted federal, state and local rules that limit discharges and require buildings to be dry in larger events.

The vulnerability assessment (VA) maps current and future flood scenarios — including storm surge, king tides and 100‑year rainfall, as well as compound events — and scores critical assets (pump stations, public buildings, evacuation routes)…
