Layer: Physical Vulnerability Index (ID: 5)

Name: Physical Vulnerability Index

Display Field: tract_name

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Center for Coastal Resources Management at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science has developed a Coastal Physical Index (CPI) for the Chesapeake Bay region. CPI provides a broad perspective on the vulnerability of the Tidewater region, creating a composite measure of general flood impact rather than the threat of any one particular storm track. While there have been a number of efforts to categorize physical risk, the analysis behind this physical vulnerability index allows for application at a variety of scales such as the county or US Census tract level. Calculating physical risk for geopolitically defined boundaries generates values that can be directly tied to relevant socio-economic data, increasingly identified as a critical element of overall coastal vulnerability. The CPI draws on data sources that are generally widespread or replicable across different areas, which should allow transfer beyond the Chesapeake Bay region for use in coastal management at multiple scales. The capability to calculate vulnerability values at both the relative and absolute levels allows exploration of how vulnerability differs within various spatial contexts. CPI is a robust platform for examining the broad relationships between the impacts of coastal flooding and physical characteristics.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
