The Northwest Florida’s at-Risk Coastal Cultural Resources StoryMap presents the results of a statewide spatial analysis aimed at identifying cultural resources located within flood-prone zones. This project builds upon prior research, “A Multi-Factor Flood Impact Assessment Approach Toward Evaluating Florida’s Coastal Cultural Resources for an Improved Management Strategy”, and extends its methodology to assess, quantify, and visualize vulnerability across diverse resource types. 

The findings, presented through a mapping platform, provide a spatially explicit visualization of flood impacts on archaeological and historic assets, supporting the prioritization of preservation and mitigation strategies. By integrating measures of hazard exposure with assessments of resource significance, the study enables stakeholders to allocate limited funding and management capacity with greater precision and strategic intent. The county-level maps developed for Florida’s Panhandle serve as a scalable and replicable decision-support tool for safeguarding coastal cultural heritage under both current conditions and projected future flood scenarios.
