About Aqua
​
Aqua, an extension of xGeographic's Wave software, is used to measure and assess the impacts of natural hazards on coastal communities.
​
Aqua assesses the modeled impacts of sea level rise, storm surge, and flooding on numerous community features, and bundles these analytics into tailored reports for coastal communities.
​
Aqua Analytics Reports are completed for communities in one-to-two months and can be customized to include additional features, such as community outreach.
​
Aqua Analytics Reports
​
Aqua Analytics reports assess the vulnerabilities posed to the following community features:
​
-
Property Values & Buildings
-
Points of Interest and Essential Services
-
Critical Facilities & Infrastructure
-
Transportation Network
-
Vulnerability by Land Use Type
-
Low Income Population Affected, Per Hazard
-

2022-2023 Aqua Rollout
​
View the Draft FRCP Scope of Work
xGeographic will be collaborating with coastal towns and cities in Florida to apply for state funding from the Florida Resilient Coastlines Program for the 2022-2023 grant cycle. These grants are funded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
​
As part of this effort, xGeographic will team with two to three cities to complete Aqua Analytics Reports, as well as community outreach and other deliverables requested by collaborating municipalities.
​
The Scope of Work, which is linked above, includes core deliverables that would be pursued as part of this grant, in addition to an optional deliverable listing.
