The Coastal Community Flood Impact Scorecard Toolkit

OVERVIEW: The Coastal Community Flood Impact Scorecard Toolkit for Measuring quality of Life and Economic Impact is a free, excel-based software package that accepts data from a GIS-based attribute table and local tourism trends to run a simulation of resident and visitor behavior after experiencing a flood hazard event.  Results from the simulation provide insight into how communities will be impacted by the flood in terms of changes to resident quality of life and tourism revenue.
