Executive Summary

Coastal zones throughout the world are economically invaluable. Importing, exporting,

harvesting natural resources, creating energy, and producing goods creates potential for the

generating of trillions of dollars. Needless to say, this is one resource that must be protected and

preserved. Unfortunately, a large portion of infrastructure in coastal zones is constantly subjected

to Earth’s changing climate. Puerto Rico, although mostly mountainous in the center, has large

coastal zones in the north and south. These coastal zones not only attract residents and

vacationers, but they are also places that attract the reoccurring hurricanes or tsunamis that storm

through the Caribbean. Therefore, the focus of this project will be the effects of climate change

on infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone.

Working with our sponsor, the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources

(DNER), we determined the leading dangers to infrastructure in the coastal zone to be sea level

rise (SLR), coastal erosion, storm surges, hurricanes and tsunamis. After identifying the types of

climate change affecting infrastructure along the coast, the different categories of critical

infrastructure in Puerto Rico were identified. The categories of infrastructure our project focused

on include: power plants, hospitals, airports, seaports, schools, bridges, roads, transmission lines

and aqueducts.

Extensive research has already been completed by other researchers on the extreme

variability of the climate in Puerto Rico. There is also historic data on the island’s infrastructure

and damages it has suffered. No research, however, has been done to combine the two factors by

analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

changing climate. Therefore, our project goal was to determine how the different categories of

critical infrastructure would be affected by climate variability and the dangers associated with

the coastal zone. Accomplishing our goal involved achieving three main objectives. The first

objective was to determine the different categories of at risk infrastructure in the coastal zone of

Puerto Rico. The second objective was to determine to what extent the critical infrastructure

would be affected by climate change. The third objective was to provide user-friendly visuals, in

the form of maps and tables, to decision makers such as government officials and the building

planners of Puerto Rico. Our final objective was to determine how the damage to these critical

structures would affect Puerto Rican society.

Through extensive research on projected climate changes and critical infrastructure, we

were able to meet these four objectives and ultimately our project goal. Conducting interviews

with experts helped in choosing which aspects of the infrastructure to concentrate on. We made

use of the Geographical Information System (GIS) database to create maps of critical

infrastructure layered with the risks it is threatened by. Preexisting information in the GIS

database was also analyzed to determine which structures from each category of infrastructure

were at risk. With the creation of a risk assessment table for each type of infrastructure analyzed,

we isolated which structures were vulnerable to climate change.

This project laid the groundwork for studying the effects of climate change on critical

infrastructure. The results of our project aided in providing recommendations for an improved

methodology to be utilized by future researchers, whether that be by the DNER staff or students

continuing our study in the future. Lastly, the data obtained from our analysis was part of a

critical infrastructure inventory and added to the Geographic Information System (GIS) database.

Abstract

Some of Puerto Rico’s critical infrastructure may not be structurally fit to withstand the

effects of climate change such as sea level rise, coastal erosion, storm surge and tsunamis. In an

attempt to reduce the dangers of climate change, our group worked in conjunction with the

Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER) to assess critical infrastructure in

Puerto Rico’s coastal zone. The goal of our project was to provide the DNER with insight into

which infrastructure was most susceptible to the hazards of climate change and variability.

1. Introduction

With the growing popularity of coastal living throughout the world, construction in these

areas is soaring. Due to this spike in development, coastal zones both globally and in Puerto

Rico, are frequently turning out to be some of the most highly developed regions. Structures such

as power plants, hospitals, airports, seaports and schools are just a few of the infrastructure types

present along the coast. Unfortunately, a higher concentration of buildings translates into a

higher possibility that some of the infrastructure will be damaged or destroyed by the effects of

climate change produced from the nearby ocean. Sea level rise (SLR), coastal erosion, storm

surges, hurricanes and tsunamis are just a few of the dangers facing critical infrastructure in the

coastal zone.

Although storms and flooding occur all over the world, the severity of the storms in

Puerto Rico is much greater due to its location in the Caribbean Sea. In the short time period

between 1980-2005, there were twelve hurricanes or tropical storms that hit the island including

Hurricane Georges, which was one of the worst storms Puerto Rico has ever seen (Garcia, 2011).

These storms destroyed homes, flooded buildings and allowed erosion to eat away at roads and

bridges. The inadequate structural stability of infrastructure along the coast due to previously

endured hazards is a major danger facing the inhabitants of Puerto Rico.

A vulnerability assessment has been done by pervious researchers for the coast of the

island using Geographic Information System (GIS) software to indicate which areas are most

affected by climate change. Simultaneously, we have found that extensive research has been

completed on the history of the island’s infrastructure and any damages these structures may

Page 17: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

have endured. However, there has been no research to combine these two factors and analyze the

critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone based on the changing climate.

The goal of our project was to provide our sponsor with insight into which types of

infrastructure, located within Puerto Rico’s coastal zone, are susceptible to the hazards of climate

change and variability. Accomplishing our goal involved the completion of four main objectives.

The first objective was to determine the different types of at risk structures in the coastal zone.

The second objective was to determine to what extent this critical infrastructure might be

susceptible to projected dangers. The third objective was to create user-friendly visuals, in the

form of maps and tables, to provide to decision makers of Puerto Rico. The final objective was to

determine how damage to these structures would affect Puerto Rican society. Through

interviews, widespread research and data analysis, we were able to better evaluate critical

infrastructure to ensure a safer environment for the inhabitants of Puerto Rico. The results of our

research will act as groundwork for continuing to improve the study of critical infrastructure

vulnerability in the future.

2. Background

This section is designed to provide background information regarding the management of

coastal zones and mitigating the effects of climate change in these areas. First, we will discuss

the types of hazards that can occur in coastal areas then followed by the types of structures that

have to withstand these hazards. Different categories of infrastructure will be analyzed in order

to determine which structures from each category are affected by climate variability and change.

Finally we will discuss ways to mitigate the effects of climate change so they do not have as

damaging of an effect on the infrastructure and inhabitants of Puerto Rico.

2.1. Coastal Zone Management

The United States’ coastal zone is home to a large portion of the Nation’s population, and

combined with the Great Lake’s coastline, it stretches over 95,000 miles (NOAA, 2011a). Not

only is it a beautiful place for vacationing and living, but it is an essential zone for economic

activities as well. In 2007 the coastal zone’s economy contributed $6.7 trillion dollars to the U.S.

economy. Forty years ago it became evident to the government that this unique resource must be

protected and preserved. In 1972 the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) was passed to:

“protect natural resources, manage the development in high hazard areas, provide public access

for recreation, and give priority to coastal dependent development”. The National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) established the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource

Management (OCRM) to manage and conserve the nation’s oceanic and coastal resources.

Various coastal management programs have been implemented in 34 states through the efforts of

this office. OCRM is composed of six divisions: Coastal Programs, Estuarine Reserves, National

Policy and Evaluation, Business Management, Marine Protected Areas center, and the Coral

Page 19: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

4

Program. All of these divisions work together in an attempt to preserve and protect the coast.

This project will be concerned mostly with the Coastal Programs, in particular with the Coastal

Management Programs.

2.2. Dangers in the Coastal Zone

SLR and coastal erosion are the most common manifestations of climate change

endangering infrastructure along the coast; however, storm surges, hurricanes and tsunamis

represent other pressing challenges structures in the coastal zone must be able to withstand.

Understanding what hazards are present in the coastal zone was vital in determining which

infrastructure types were at risk.

2.2.1. Sea Level Rise and Coastal Erosion

Due to global warming, SLR poses the biggest threat to coastal regions. The rise in sea

levels causes the shoreline to erode and threatens the infrastructure closest to the coast.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007), or IPCC, since 1961 the

sea level has risen at an average rate of 1.8 mm per year, and since 1993 this rate has risen at an

average of 3.1 mm per year. The character of coastal landforms, such as barrier islands and cliffs,

often dictates the severity of SLR (Titus, 2009). Beaches with a more gradual slope will be

affected to a greater degree than beaches with a steep slope. According to Lewsey et al. (2004)

one centimeter of SLR can result in a shoreline loss of several horizontal meters, or several

thousand hectares (10,000 m2) of land loss. While the cause of coastal erosion is not certain, it is

generally agreed upon that the most probable cause is SLR (Zhang et al., 2004). At least 70% of

the world’s sandy beaches are in recession, and 86% of the United States’ East Coast beaches

have experienced coastal erosion. Zhang (2004) suggests that the long-term sandy beach erosion

is two orders of magnitude greater than the rate of SLR. He stressed that significant SLR will

Page 20: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

5

have severe consequences for the infrastructure and people on the coast. Poorly drained low-

lying coastal plains will be the most affected, while mangrove forests and sea grass should be

able to tolerate SLR to some extent. The effects of SLR can be seen all over the world. People

living in coastal areas may be able to adapt to rising sea levels by moving inland or to higher

grounds. However, critical infrastructure in the coastal zone cannot easily be moved inland. This

highlights a need to protect coastal infrastructure from SLR and coastal erosion.

2.2.2. Storm Surges

Storm surges are caused by low atmospheric pressure and strong winds that push on the

ocean’s surface, causing water to rise above ordinary sea levels (IPCC, 2007). Surges can be

intensified if they occur at high tide, since the coastal waters are already raised to their

customary highest point. SLR also increases the potency of storm surges by providing an

elevated base for surges to build upon, and by diminishing the rate at which low-lying areas

drain (Titus, 2009). According to the United Nations 2009 climate report, storm surges often

precede hurricanes and continue throughout their duration causing considerable damage and

flooding (Simpson, et al, 2009). Over the last 50 years there has been a decrease in the minimum

atmospheric pressure in hurricanes. The height of a storm surge is related to the reduction in

atmospheric pressure in the hurricane, meaning that the lower the pressure of the hurricane, the

stronger the surge. Evidence shows that atmospheric pressure in even the strongest hurricanes is

decreasing; as a result storm surges associated with these hurricanes are getting stronger. Storm

surges are a large danger to coastal infrastructure because of the flooding, and the high winds

associated with them.

Page 21: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

2.2.3. Hurricanes

Puerto Rico is no stranger to hurricanes. In a study done by the University of Puerto Rico

storm data dating back to 1851 was compiled to assess the number of hurricanes that have come

in near proximity to Puerto Rico. Using the Saffir/Simpson scale, Puerto Rico has experienced

two category 5 storms, five category 4 storms, six category 3 storms, twelve category 2 storms,

and fourteen category 1 storms (Mercado, 2010). Puerto Rico experienced one of the worst

storms when Hurricane Georges swept through the island in September of 1998. It was reported

that over fifty percent of the electrical poles and cables were damaged and roughly 28,000 homes

were destroyed (Bennett and Mojica, 2011). People were without electricity and clean water for

months. In general, the total damage done by Hurricane Georges in Puerto Rico was estimated at

$1.9 billion. A hurricane could have detrimental effects on significant portions of infrastructure

along the coast and was thus identified as a severe hazard for the purpose of this project.

2.2.4. Tsunamis

Another climatic phenomenon that affects the coastal zone is earthquakes. Puerto Rico is

at a high risk of experiencing detrimental earthquakes due to its proximity to the fault line

between the North American and Caribbean tectonic plates (Mueller, 2010). It is therefore

understandable that Puerto Rico has a history of destructive earthquakes. Not only are these

earthquakes a danger to Puerto Rico by themselves, causing structural damage from ground-

motion alone, but also earthquakes trigger destructive tsunamis. This makes them especially

relevant to our project because of the damaging tsunamis they trigger.

According to NOAA (2011b) a tsunami is defined as a “series of ocean waves generated

by sudden displacements in the sea floor, landslides, or volcanic activity.” Waves may come to

shore gently or may be a fast moving wall of turbulent water many meters high. NOAA

Page 22: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

7

estimates that since 1850, tsunamis have been responsible for over 420,000 deaths and trillions

of dollars in damages worldwide. Mercado (2010) describes tsunamis as the “the forgotten

hazard” because they are not always considered a threat in the Caribbean. However, due to

earthquakes, landslides (both above water and underwater), and submarine volcanic explosions,

tsunamis pose a threat to Puerto Rico and must be considered when assessing critical

infrastructure. There is an active submarine volcano located north of Grenada; however, it does

not pose a great threat to Puerto Rico. The biggest tsunami threat lies, in the trench north of

Puerto Rico; submarine landslides and earthquakes there could easily trigger a tsunami that could

hit the northern coast of the island.

2.3. Types of Infrastructure in the Coastal Zone

“The coastal zone is a transition zone, or an ecotone, lying between oceanic

environments and terrestrial systems” (Beatley, 1994, p.27). For this project, the “coastal zone”

is being defined by the DNER as “all land within 1 kilometer of the shoreline”. The main island

of Puerto Rico has about 580 kilometers of coastline. Along this coastline there are several

different types of structures that are vulnerable to climate change. Those of greatest interest to

our project include power plants, hospitals, airports, seaports, schools, bridges, roads, churches,

hotels and government buildings.

2.3.1. Power plants

There are a variety of power plants in Puerto Rico, most of which are located within the

coastal zone and are therefore at risk from coastal hazards. Electricity has become increasingly

important in everyday life. If the power plants in Puerto Rico were to be damaged due to the

effects of climate change, millions of residents would be left without power. Responsible for the

distribution of electricity to the residents of Puerto Rico is the Puerto Rico Electric Power

Page 23: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

8

Authority (2011) or PRASA. The first electric lighting system in Puerto Rico began operation in

1893. In 1908 the first power plant funded by the government was built, and then in 1992 the

Energy Policy Act allowed private companies to sell electricity as well.

2.3.2. Hospitals

Hospitals are another important type of infrastructure that could be damaged if located in

the coastal zone. There are around 57 hospitals in Puerto Rico, the majority of which lie within

the coastal zone (Hospitals Worldwide, 2011). Due to the hazards related to climate change,

there is a much greater likelihood that people would be injured and require assistance only a

hospital can provide. If a hospital were to sustain substantial damage, there would be nowhere

for those injured persons to be treated, making hospitals one of the greatest priorities for the

protection of their structural integrity.

2.3.3. Ports

Because Puerto Rico is an island, its airports and seaports are extremely important.

Without these ports, there would be a major problem with receiving supplies and transporting

people from the mainland U.S. to the island, and vice versa. Ten major airports are located in

various towns across Puerto Rico including Aguadilla, Arecibo, Fajardo, Isla De Culebra, Isla De

Vieques, Mayagüez, Ponce, Roosevelt Roads and San Juan (Air Broker Center International AB,

2009). The sea ports of Puerto Rico are clustered mainly on the eastern side of the island;

however, towns such as Arecibo, Aguadilla, Mayagüez, Guanica, Guayanilla, Tallaboa, and

Ponce also house some of the major ports on the island (World Port Sources, 2011).

2.3.4. Schools

The schools in the coastal zone of Puerto Rico may also be susceptible to the effects of

climate change. When dangers associated with climate change impact a school, it puts the lives

of thousands of students and teachers in harm’s way. There are around 1,500 mainly public

schools in Puerto Rico, of which there are around 800 elementary schools, about 200 middle

schools and just over 150 high schools (SchoolTree.org, 2011). Out of these schools, 310 are

located in the coastal zone and were targeted by our project.

2.3.5. Roadways and Bridges

Because Puerto Rico is a relatively moderately small island, the majority of its highways

and major bridges are located in the coastal zone area. There are about 740 kilometers of

roadways and 240 bridges located in the coastal zone. It is very important to ensure these roads

and bridges are in a condition that they could withstand the effects of climate change in order to

maintain open transportation throughout the island. There are eight major freeways and three

major expressways in Puerto Rico (PuertoRico.com, 2011). The freeways include PR1, PR2,

PR3, PR22, PR52, PR10, PR53, and PR66. The PR1 runs from San Juan to Ponce and is now

mainly used by tourists (PRroads, 2007). The PR2 is the longest road in Puerto Rico connecting

Ponce, Mayagüez, Aguadilla, and Arecibo. The PR3, also known as the 65th Infantry Avenue, is

also mostly used as a tourist route running from Salinas through Guayama, Humacao, Fajardo

and finally to San Juan. The PR22, PR52, PR10, PR53 and PR66 are all newer freeways that are

much more frequently traveled than the first three. The roads and bridges in the coastal zone

provide essential transportation and were a focus to our project.

2.3.6. Churches

Churches that hold religious and historical importance should be evaluated in case the

effects of climate change present an environment the structures cannot withstand. Around fifteen

percent of all Puerto Ricans are Christian Protestant, about two percent are nonreligious and

three percent belong to religions such as Islam and Judaism (Galvan, 2009). The remaining

eighty percent are Roman Catholic. Some of the most important and beautiful Catholic churches

include the Iglesia San Blas Illescas in Coamo and the Iglesia Porta Coeli in San German (GSV,

2009). Iglesia San Jose is one of the oldest churches in the Western hemisphere and is located in

Old San Juan. Because so many Puerto Ricans affiliate themselves with a religion, we considered

churches a critical infrastructure and therefore important to our project.

2.3.7. Hotels

The majority of hotels associated with tourism are typically located in close proximity to

the coast due to the fact that people visiting Puerto Rico want to spend their time on the beach.

This places a high number of hotels within the reach of severe coastal hazards. Many hotels

require continuous repairs in order to maintain functionality and also to maintain a safe

environment for visiting individuals. Construction of hotels first began in the 1950s with the

Caribe Hilton and Hotel La Concha (Galvan, 2009). Today the industry has spread throughout

most coastal regions placing hotels in high-risk areas throughout the island.

2.3.8. Government buildings

Government buildings, housing important offices, documents, and computer systems,

may also be structurally vulnerable to climate-related risks. There are four main federal buildings

in Puerto Rico (U.S. General Services Administration, 2011). Among these are the Federal

Center in Guaynabo, the Federico Degetau Federal Building and the Clemente Ruiz Nazario U.S.

Page 26: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

11

Courthouse in Hato Rey, and the Jose V. Toledo U.S. Post Office and Courthouse in San Juan.

These historic buildings may be especially vulnerable to the dangers related to climate change

due to their age.

2.4. Mitigation

“Mitigation refers to the elimination or reduction of the frequency, magnitude, or severity

of exposure to environmental... or social risks, or minimization of the potential impact of a threat

or warning” (Zelaya, et al., 2009). In order to effectively accomplish mitigation, the threat or

warning must be thoroughly studied and all impacts of the hazard should be made clear. This

allows for the best mitigation technique that will hopefully solve the problem. With urban

development in the coastal zone of Puerto Rico, there is a greater need to mitigate potential

dangers of climate variability to the critical infrastructure (Core Writing Team, 2007). The issue

of coping with coastal disasters has always been present throughout the island as hurricanes and

tsunamis continuously cause damage to houses, bridges and roads. Many adaptation approaches

have multiple drivers, such as economic development and poverty alleviation. These approaches

are rooted within broader development planning strategies such as water resources planning,

coastal defense, and disaster risk reduction strategies. The ability of an area to adapt and mitigate

is based on socioeconomic and environmental circumstances and also on the data and technology

available. As the problem of urban development in coastal zone areas has increased, so has the

variety of mitigation techniques devised to cope with it.

2.4.1. Flood Control

Early approaches to flood control attempted to hold back the water through seawalls and

dikes, whereas more recent approaches have added flood proofing to buildings that are regularly

exposed to storms (Godschalk, 1989). Smaller projects to control flooding include the

Page 27: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

12

construction of retaining ponds that hold excess storm water. Larger undertakings for the

prevention of flooding are the building of dams that control the movement of water in river

systems, and flood channels, which funnel and divert floodwaters away from developed areas.

These techniques as well as others have been implemented along the coastline in states such as

South Carolina, Texas and Louisiana. Levees and locks have been put in place in New Orleans to

protect against and manage hurricane flooding. In Texas, a 16-mile long levee system was

constructed along with a concrete floodwall drainage system, a closure gate, and a pumping

drainage station to better protect the coastal zone from the fifteen-foot storm surges. Both New

Orleans and Texas are no strangers to devastating hurricanes, storm surges and the flooding that

accompanies them. Flood control techniques are currently the only strategies being implemented

in Puerto Rico to protect against climate change.

2.4.2. Mitigation Tools

Use of Coastal Vulnerability Index

One of the most common methods of assessing coastal vulnerability is the coastal

vulnerability index (CVI) (Doukakis, 2005). The coastal vulnerability index allows variables

such as geomorphology, shoreline erosion, coastal slope, relative SLR rate, mean wave height

and mean tide range to be related in a manner that expresses the relative vulnerability of the

coast due to future SLR. Each variable is given a ranking on a linear scale of one to five (one

being the lowest risk of vulnerability and five being the highest risk), and once combined, the

index value is calculated. This value highlights the areas where the physical effects of sea-level

change might be the greatest.

Page 28: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

13

Use of GIS Index

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system capable of capturing,

storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information. GIS can help reveal

important information that may lead to better decisions (USGS, 2007). For example, it is

important to know the locations of heavy or light rainfall. This is done using a location reference

system. Comparing the location of heavy/light rainfall with the location of marshes may show

that certain marshes receive little to no rainfall. These facts could help indicate which marshes

are likely to dry up and therefore help make decisions about how humans should interact with the

marsh. This information system is of great use in coastal zone management. It has the ability to

compare areas of continuous flooding, with types of infrastructure located along the coast. The

ability to compare weather patterns of a particular area to the infrastructure within that area is of

vital use to any coastal zone management program.

2.4.3. Current Mitigation Strategies

Current plans for mitigating the effects of climate change falls into three categories of

measures: national policies, international agreements, and private or non-governmental

initiatives (Working Group II, 2007). Each of these three categories has their merits and

shortcomings, and they all vary depending on location due to differences in social, economic,

and demographic differences.

In all three categories (international, national, and private or non-governmental) there are

similar types of mitigation plans that fall into eight types (Working Group II, 2007). The first

type, regulations and standards, identifies requirements for technologies and performance in

order to reduce pollution and emissions. The second type, taxes and charges, involves charging a

fee of persons involved in activities that could cause climate change. Tradable permits, another

Page 29: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

14

strategy for climate change mitigation, limits emissions by requiring each pollution source to

hold a permit. Another type, voluntary agreements, involves an understanding between at least

one private party and a government that are established in order to lessen climate changes.

Subsidies and Incentives, the fifth type, involve a discount or payment to units that are

successfully minimizing their pollution outputs. Another type of mitigation plan, called

“information instruments”, encourages units to reduce their emissions and pollution by requiring

disclosure of all information relevant to the environment to the public. The Research and

Development type plan involves investigating new and creative ways to mitigate climate change

and is funded by the federal government. The last type of mitigation plan, non-climate policies,

involves policies that significantly affect the climate but only as a secondary benefit. They are

designed in order to accomplish something unrelated to the climate; lowering pollution output is

merely a side effect.

Protection Strategies

Some common structural reinforcement techniques include post-tension systems as well

as the installation of shear dowels in epoxy-filled holes (Structural Reinforcement Contractor,

2011). Post-tension systems use steel tension rods or high strength cables that increase the

bending and shear strength of a beam. These reinforcements provide additional support and

correct deficiencies in structural design. Another possible solution to issues facing climate

change is through the use of reinforced earth (Reinforced Earth India, 2009). Reinforced earth

falls within the same category as steel; however, it differs in flexibility. Its ability to resist

fracturing during foundation settlements makes it the ideal material for use in coastal zone areas.

Yet another possible solution to the effects of climate change on structures would be through the

use of earth bag structures which are buildings made out of sand bags, filled and stacked like

Page 30: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

15

masonry. Earth bags have been commonly used in the military as well as for flood control. Their

strength, durability and low cost make them ideal for building houses. In addition, earth bags are

also fire resistant, non-toxic, and can be built to suit any climate. Houses in flood areas typically

use gravel filled bags for the lower walls so that they are not swept away. Using a spherical

design allows for much greater protection against hurricanes and tornados due to the lack of

large flat surfaces where pressure builds up. These are just a few of the possible solutions to

mitigate the effects of climate change.

2.5. Summary

It is clear that the coastal infrastructure of Puerto Rico is in danger from the hazards

caused by climate variability, whether it is SLR, coastal erosion, storm surges, hurricanes, or

tsunamis. There exists an urgent need to assess the dangers that may impact much of this

infrastructure. In our report, we will attempt to communicate how this project assessed the

different types of infrastructure at risk in the coastal zone. Our methodology was used for

determining how susceptible infrastructure was to projected dangers. Additionally, we will

describe the repercussions on Puerto Rican society, should these structures be damaged.

The main goal of our project was to provide our sponsor with insight into which types of

infrastructure, located within Puerto Rico’s coastal zone, are susceptible to the hazards of climate

change and variability. Accomplishing our goal involved the completion of four main objectives.

The first objective was to determine the different types of at risk structures in the coastal zone of

Puerto Rico. We were able to accomplish this through researching projected effects of climate

change, conducting interviews with infrastructure experts, and using a Geographical Information

System (GIS) database. The second objective was to determine to what extent different types of

critical infrastructure might be susceptible to projected dangers. This was accomplished by

analyzing maps we created with GIS and interviews with experts. The third objective was to

create user-friendly visuals to supply to the decision makers of Puerto Rico. This was

accomplished by utilizing the GIS software to create multiple maps and tables. The final

objective was to determine how damage to at risk structures would affect Puerto Rican society.

Through our interviews, as well as background research, we gained a better understanding of the

protection strategies that are currently in place.

In order to achieve our ultimate goal we used the methodology outlined in this chapter.

The data obtained from our analysis is now part of a critical infrastructure inventory in the

DNER’s GIS database. The data was converted into user-friendly visuals for Puerto Rico’s

decision makers. And lastly, the societal impacts of the damaged infrastructure were analyzed.

3.1. Identification of At Risk Structures

This section will detail the methodology used to identify vulnerable types of

infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone. First, we researched projected climate changes in

order to identify which areas in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone would be most affected. We also used

GIS data of the critical infrastructure, layered onto areas susceptible to climate change as a way

Page 33: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

18

to show which specific buildings were most at risk. Next, we interviewed experts to obtain more

insight into which types of infrastructure were most vulnerable. Using those data, we were able

to identify structures that would be most at risk in the face of climate change.

3.1.1. Research into Projected Impacts of Climate Change

Through background research and discussions with our sponsor, we were able to

determine the biggest threats due to climate change. The threats we concentrate on were: SLR,

coastal erosion, storm surges, hurricanes, and tsunamis. SLR can cause erosion and flooding,

which decreases the projected lifetime of coastal infrastructure. Storm surges may cause

flooding, but the strong winds that accompany storm surges can also be detrimental to buildings

and other infrastructure. Puerto Rico is in close proximity to the convergence of the North

American and Caribbean tectonic plates, which places it at a high risk for earthquakes and the

resulting tsunamis. All the above listed threats were researched prior to our arrival in Puerto

Rico.

3.1.2. Interviews with Infrastructure Experts

In order to obtain more knowledge on how to conduct a risk assessment, we created an

individual interview protocol, which can be viewed in Appendix C. These questions were

designed specifically to help assess each of the different types of structures we selected from our

list of infrastructure types deemed critical in Puerto Rico. The first interview conducted was with

two architects working for Puerto Rico’s Tourism Company, William Pitre and José Terrasa.

This was an extremely informative interview that gave us an inside look into the tourism industry

of Puerto Rico and how it is being affected by climate change. An additional interview was

conducted with a recent civil engineering graduate from the University of New Hampshire, Robb

Chase. Although he did not have much knowledge on climate change, his information on

Page 34: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

19

structural support options was very helpful. A final interview was conducted with Alberto

Lazaro, executive director of infrastructure of Puerto Rico Aqueducts and Sewer Authority

(PRASA). Additionally we were able to interview a concierge at La Concha resort who had been

employed there for several years. She was able to give us an accurate history of damages and

repairs. From these interviews we gained a more complete understanding of different types of

infrastructure, how they work, and how they fail.

3.1.3. Using the GIS Database

In order to identify which infrastructure to assess, we utilized the ArcGIS program to

create maps of each type of infrastructure relevant to our project in different risk scenarios. Due

to licensing issues, the program could only be installed on two of the group members’ laptops.

Our sponsor provided the data we used to create these maps. These data can be found at:

• http://climategem.geo.arizona.edu/slr/us48prvi/index.html

Using the maps produced we determined which infrastructure was in an area that would

be the most at risk given its location. The infrastructure mapped included: airports, bridges,

highways, hospitals, power plants, seaports, transmission lines, aqueducts, and water treatment

plants. The climate change parameters that were layered on top of the infrastructure were: SLR,

tsunamis, flooding, and landslides. Some of the maps included all of Puerto Rico, while others

focused on San Juan, the east coast, or the west coast. Justification for this can be found in

Chapter 4. A sample map can be found in the figure below. This map depicts the flood risks

layered onto airport locations in Puerto Rico. The full catalog of maps can be found in Appendix

D.

Figure 2: Map of Airports and Projected SLR of 3m in the Coastal Zone of Puerto Rico

In our research we used three sets of data to analyze SLR. One set came from a study

conducted by Drs. Jeremy Weiss, Jonathan Overpeck, and Ben Strauss from their paper

“Implications of recent sea level rise science for low level elevation areas in coastal cities of the

conterminous U.S.A.” Dr. Weiss was kind enough to provide us with the GIS shape files for

Puerto Rico. They created these files using the National Elevation Dataset to portray the low

elevation coastal areas. The National Elevation Dataset “has an absolute linear error of ± 4.75m

(95% confidence interval) for the entire conterminous U.S.A.” (Weiss et, al., 2011). However it

is important to note that the coastal data is usually more reliable than nationwide data. Weiss

used the mean high water as the shoreline to create the land-sea boundary. To model SLR they

created an algorithm that compares the elevation data set that correspond to a particular height

value, with sea elevations that are of an equal or greater value than the land values. They applied

Page 36: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

21

this algorithm to the National Elevation Dataset for integer values between 1-6m. This showed

them areas that are at risk for SLR. Because the data is based on present day elevations it does

not predict any future shorelines or actions, such as, “glacial isotactic, tectonics, subsidence, or

erosion and accretion”. The data from Weiss had a relatively small error and was included in this

report so we could analyze data from many sources.

Another source for our SLR data was provided by the Citizens of the Karst (CDK), a

non-governmental non-profit organization who are concerned with climate change and the affect

it will have on Puerto Rico (Karst, 2010). The data they utilized was provided by the 2007

Report of the IPCC. The parameters used were: a SLR from 28 to 58 centimeters on average,

with a maximum of 1 meter, throughout the world over the next 100 years. These estimates do

not include the movement and melting of Antarctica and Greenland. Nor do they take into

account the effect of coastal erosion due to the increase in SLR. However, since this report has

been published the projected SLR has been refined to a minimum of one meter with a maximum

of three meters, over the next 100 years. By incorporating data from this study we gained a more

comprehensive understanding of SLR in Puerto Rico.

3.2. Analysis of At Risk Structures

In addition to the more general techniques to identify at risk structures described in the

previous sections, we conducted a more detailed risk analysis of different types of infrastructure.

The buildings were organized into tables based on their category and the projected climate

changes associated with each structure identified. Suggestions from the interviewees mentioned

in the previous section were also taken into consideration when determining which aspects to

focus on.

3.2.1. Creating a Critical Infrastructure/Puerto Rico Assets Inventory (GIS database)

It was important for us to keep clear documentation of data gathered from the risk

analysis of affected types of critical infrastructure. The best way to do this was by creating a

critical infrastructure assets inventory. This inventory was created in the form of risk assessment

tables (example shown below) which includes the asset, a detailed description of the asset, the

asset’s useful life, the potential climate hazard that will impact the asset, potential impacts from

that hazard and the financial worth of that asset to Puerto Rico. This inventory kept our records

together in a manner by which we could compare and contrast one type of critical infrastructure

to another. Using the data collected for the critical infrastructure inventory, as well as existing

SLR, storm surge and tsunami modeling from the DNER, we calculated the projected damages to

specific critical infrastructure types in the coastal zone of Puerto Rico.

The table was formatted in such a way so that many of the columns would correspond to

an attribute in the GIS database. This allowed us to easily update the tables with information we

gathered from GIS. The information that was not found in the GIS database was researched in an

attempt to fill in the tables the best we could.

3.3. Summary

Determining whether the critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone is able to

endure the impacts of hazards related to climate change is a complex process but absolutely

necessary. Following the step-by-step methods explained above ensured the best results in our

assessment. Organizing these results in a way that our sponsor, the DNER, could easily use and

implement in other areas of Puerto Rico was a top priority throughout our data collection.

Through researching climate changes to identify the infrastructure that was at risk as well as

through performing interviews and conducting field observations, we created a table to organize

our findings. With this information, we then provided our sponsor with user-friendly visuals that

will be used to improve the endangered infrastructure, and hopefully create an overall safer

environment for the citizens of Puerto Rico

4. Results and Discussion

This chapter will be dedicated to all the findings of our project. First, there will be a

discussion of the results from our interviews with experts. Next, we will provide a thorough

analysis of several different maps created through the use of GIS software, depicting potential

dangers for each type of infrastructure. Through the examination of these maps we were able to

determine which structures within each category of infrastructure were at risk. We were also able

to determine the types of climate change and variability that placed each type of infrastructure at

risk. Finally, we chose a few structures from each category to perform a more detailed

assessment on and compiled this information into a detailed risk assessment table, to be

discussed in the final section of this chapter.

4.1. Interviews with Experts

The interviews that we conducted were with infrastructure engineers and experts in the

various fields that our study included. The tourism company, port authority, aqueduct and sewer

authority, transportation authority, and electric energy authority are the main areas we focused

on when looking for critical infrastructure. The interviews were conducted in pairs, with one

person taking the lead in interviewing and asking the questions and responding to what the

interviewees said. The other person was the scribe, taking detailed notes and making sure to stay

on track using the questions provided in the protocol. From these interviews we were able to gain

more information about the structures that may be at risk and protection strategies that are in

place. The sections below describe what we gathered from the interviews with these experts. No

direct quotes were taken from the individuals but each sub-section to follow is a summary, in our

own words, of our conversation with the experts in each individual field.

4.1.1. Tourism Company Interview Results

This interview took place at the Convention Center in San Juan and was conducted with

the head of the tourism company, Jose Terrasa, and his associate William Pitre. As recent as 50

years ago, Puerto Rico had not thought about climate change but it is definitely on its mind now.

Organizations like The Tourism Company and the CZMP of the DNER have begun to share the

extreme need for mitigation techniques and to spread the awareness of coastal dangers and

climate change.

San Juan is considered to be an aquatic city as it was once an area that was all a wetland.

This poses a great threat because as the sea level rises, this area will return to its natural state as a

wetland if not be fully submerged in water. Channels and lagoons are plentiful along the coast of

Puerto Rico, specifically in the San Juan area. With rising sea levels these waterways will

overflow and cause flooding in the surrounding areas. Mr. Pitre provided us with maps detailing

the scenarios if there was one meter of sea-level rise, two meters, and finally three meters. From

these maps he showed us that in the two-meter scenario, the lagoons, the channels and Ocean

Park would begin to be affected and start to overflow. With the three-meter scenario, almost all

of the San Juan area would be inundated including both airports and the tourism piers.

Once a storm warning such as a hurricane or tsunami is communicated, evacuation of the

immediate area is suggested. If this warning is declared too late the airports may be affected

before the evacuation is complete. If this occurs, evacuation will continue once the airports are

once again operational. Water and electricity need to be supplied to the affected area as soon as

possible. Larger buildings such as hotels and government buildings usually house their own

back-up generator so they are the first to regain electricity. The metropolitan area can recover

Page 41: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

26

from a storm much faster than the surrounding areas because of more resources and more

manpower to clean the streets from the debris and sand.

The most severe problem regarding climate change and storm dangers affecting the

tourism company is coastal erosion. We were told that in 2007 there were major beach erosion

problems. On the south side of the island there was a landfill that contained mercury and other

biohazardous material that was closed due to too much pollution. This landfill was located very

close to the ocean and not far from the beach. As erosion ate away at the surrounding beach, the

landfill was almost emptied into the ocean, mercury and hazardous material included. Similar to

this landfill, other sanitary systems are being compromised. Ground water is in danger of sewers

being inundated and contaminating the clean water.

There are currently no protection strategies in place on the part of the buildings of the

tourism company as the government has just started to think about climate change as a danger to

Puerto Rico. Depending on the damage, structures might try to implement protection strategies

after a direct or indirect hit from a hurricane or storm surge. Unfortunately, there is little that can

be done for buildings located on the coast, they either evacuate or prepare for what is to come.

The hotels that have had the most damages from coastal erosion and storms are the ones located

in Condado and Isla Verde. William informed us that specific hotels such as La Concha, the

Marriott, and the El San Juan Hotel were among the few that have been affected most in the

metropolitan area.

From this interview we gained a better knowledge of what structures are at risk. The

interviewees were unbiased and gave an honest depiction of the problem at hand. They were also

able to explain the lack of current protection strategies and a brief history of damages due to

Page 42: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

27

climate change. Finally, they were able to provide insight into the effects climate change has on

the inhabitants of Puerto Rico.

4.1.2. Civil Engineer Interview Results

The civil engineering major we interviewed was Robb Chase, a graduate from the

University of New Hampshire. Mr. Chase’s knowledge on the inner workings of a building’s

structure was vital to our project group as none of us had civil engineering background. One of

the main topics of our interview was preventative measures used to protect structures from the

effects of climate change. Due to the extremely limited warning time preceding an earthquake,

there isn’t much that can be done to help protect against it or against the resulting tsunami should

it be in very close proximity to a highly populated area. As far as storm surge and hurricanes are

concerned, preventative measures include boarding up windows to protect from flying debris,

moving valuables to a higher elevation and even evacuation may sometimes be necessary. Any

structure either not built on stilts or with un-reinforced masonry may be more susceptible than

others to the effects of climate change.

Some of the main points to focus on when determining whether a structure will fail

include corrosion, levelness and distance from seawater. The lifetime of a structure is greatly

reduced by its vicinity to the coast. Steel and rebar when exposed to salt will corrode at a much

faster rate. Protective coatings can be used to help prevent this but there is only so much that can

be done. New technology has just been introduced to help predict when a structure will fail.

Ultrasonic technology in steel structures such as bridges is utilized by placing sensors along the

structure to monitor stress cracks and provide advanced warning as to when the structure will

fail.

Page 43: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

28

Through this interview we gained an understanding of what can be done when people are

alerted to an eminent danger. Some of the damages from storm surges and hurricanes can be

avoided if the people are well prepared. Earthquakes and tsunamis are much harder to prepare for

because of the lack of warning. Mr. Chase also gave us useful information on the structural

integrity of infrastructure in the coastal zone. This interview helped us complete our second

objective, which was to determine to what extent critical infrastructure might be susceptible to

projected dangers.

4.1.3. La Concha Resort Concierge

La Concha Resort is an upscale resort located in the Condado area of San Juan, Puerto

Rico. The interview was conducted with the front desk concierge Stephanie Rivera. This hotel

was constructed about fifty years ago; however, it was closed for the past fifteen years due to a

dip in the economy. Just three years ago it was reopened and is now one of the most successful

and beautiful hotels in the area.

The biggest problem facing the hotel at this point in time is coastal erosion. Every few

months, new sand must be added to the beach. Renace Condado is an organization working

towards improving the quality of life in Condado; one of its concerns is beach erosion. People

from different supporting sponsors meet regularly to discuss how to better protect the area and

prevent more damage from occurring. There was even an attempt at securing the sands by

planting palm trees to firm the beach; however, these trees were easily swept away right along

with the sands.

Years ago the water level was a good distance from the hotel but as the years have gone

by, the shore has become shorter and shorter due to the effects of sea level rise. During stronger

storms, the water does hit the walls of the hotel. In an effort to protect these walls, a much

Page 44: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

29

stronger type of glass was used which can withstand winds of up to 120 meters per hour. This

prevents the water from actually entering the building. Sandbags are also utilized in an effort to

protect against flooding in the event that a larger storm impacts the area.

Hurricanes and tsunamis are not as frequent in this part of the island; however, they do

still occur occasionally. In the event of a hurricane or tsunami, the hotel will lose power. Back-

up generators located in the underground parking lot are used to ensure the computer systems

and phone lines stay operational. However, this generator does nothing for the rooms themselves.

Due to the fact that the generators are located in the basement, should there ever be a substantial

amount of flooding, the generators would not be operational and the building would lose power

completely.

This interview provided us with information about what is being done locally in Condado

as well as what precautions are taken at La Concha Resort. We learned about the emergency

backup systems that go into effect when the resort loses power. We also learned about the

Renace organization that is working to improve Condado. This interview addresses our first,

second, and fourth objectives. The interview helped us determine different types of at risk

structures in Condado. We were also able to determine to what extent different structures might

be susceptible to projected dangers. Finally we were able to determine how damage to this

structure would affect the people living in it.

4.1.4. Aqueducts and Sewer Authority Interview Results

Our final interview was conducted with Alberto Lazaro, the executive director of

infrastructure for PRASA. From this interview we gained a better understanding of how the

aqueducts and sewer systems are affected by climate change, and what is being done. The

infrastructure is composed of several key assets. A network of sewage pipes run from many

Page 45: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

30

different drains into a larger network of pipes. In some cases pump stations are required to assist

the flow of the sewage, in other cases gravity is sufficient. The final destination of the sewage is

a treatment plant. There, it is treated and returned to the population as clean water. Mr. Lazaro

made it clear that not one wastewater treatment plant is more critical than the others. However,

the San Juan treatment plant is the largest and if it were to be severely damaged all of San Juan

would be affected. The San Juan plant is capable of treating up to 150 million gallons per day

(mgd) of wastewater; the average rate is about 75 mgd. The excess capability is for when there

are heavy rains. During an extreme storm or tsunami the wastewater will most likely exceed 150

mgd of wastewater, when this happens wastewater will spill out into the streets, and beaches of

San Juan.

The treatment plants are usually located in flood zones because these zones are at the

lowest elevations, and the plants rely on gravity. The plants are built to withstand flooding by

having the pit walls of the plants raised up. The stations are sealed off so that they are capable of

operating during flooding. The plants are also capable running for 8-10 hours on reserve

generators. The generators must be refueled after this and if a large storm impedes roadways to

the plants it will also impede the refueling of the generators.

PRASA does not have any future plans to protect against climate change. Mr. Lazaro

made it clear that they do not have the money in their budget to plan for dangers that may not

affect them for 50-100 years. He also acknowledged the possibility that global warming might

not be happening and in that case they would have wasted money.

4.2. Geographic Information System Analysis

Using the maps we created (provided in Appendix D), we were able to determine which

types of infrastructure, if any, are vulnerable based purely on their location, disregarding any

Page 46: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

31

physical properties of the structures themselves. The most notable result we obtained was that

none of the coastal zones of Puerto Rico are at risk from landslides, as can be seen in Figure 3

below. The coastal zone is almost all in the darker green color; this color represents a low (baja)

susceptibility to landslides. Red, orange and the lighter green color represent very high, high, and

moderate susceptibility respectably and these areas are located more inland. After drawing this

conclusion from analyzing the map shown below, we then decided not to include landslides in

our further analysis of the infrastructure located within the coastal zone.

Figure 3: Susceptibility of landslides in main island of Puerto Rico

From the rest of the maps we created, along with their respective attributes tables, we

could pinpoint which structures, located within the coastal zone, were at risk to the three major

threats opposing the coast. Tsunamis, SLR and flooding were of greatest interest to us because

after talking with our sponsor and the different experts, these three dangers were found to cause

Page 47: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

32

the most damage and attributed to the greatest effect coastal variability has had, and will

continue to have, on the coast. The infrastructure we analyzed was based on talks with our

sponsors as well as the availability of information in the GIS database.

4.2.1. Airports

Of the fourteen airports that are located in Puerto Rico, only 5 are situated along the

coast. The Antonio Rivera Rodriquez Airport is located on the island of Vieques and the Culebra

Airport is located on the island of Culebra. For the purpose of this project, we excluded these

two islands, along with the island of Mona, and focused on the main island of Puerto Rico. There

are only 3 airports situated along the coast on the main island. These Airports are the Patillas

Airport located in Patillas, the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, and the

Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci also located in San Juan.

By layering the infrastructure layer on top of the different dangers in GIS, we could tell

which of these airports were at risk for the three dangers previously mentioned. The tsunami

layer showed that none of the airports located on the main island were susceptible to floods

caused by tsunamis. With a 3-meter SLR, all three of these airports would be inundated. With the

flooding layer, we could see that only the Patillas Airport would be susceptible to flooding. It is

located in zone AE with a BFE of 2.7 MSL. Therefore, since the Patillas Airport is susceptible to

two out of the three dangers, we have deemed this airport as the most at risk.

Page 48: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

Figure 4: Airports and all three dangers

The above map consists of the airport layer, set on top of the three risk layers to show

which airports are in danger of each climate change scenario. The three red dots are the three

airports located along the coast of the main island and from the legend; it is depicted which color

or pattern represents which type of danger. More detailed maps are provided in Appendix D,

where the dangers are separated into three different maps.

Page 49: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

34

4.2.2. Aqueducts

The map below shows the aqueducts located along the coastal zone as well as the three

threats posed to those aqueducts. In Appendix D, there is a map with each separate danger

layered on top of the aqueducts layer to show how many meters of aqueducts are affected by

each threat.

Figure 5: Aqueducts and all three dangers

From the attribute tables associated with each map created, we found how many meters

of aqueducts were affected by each threat to the coastal zone. The total length of aqueducts

within the coastal region is 1,095,712.55 meters. Of these, 208,632.45 meters are susceptible to

flooding caused directly from tsunamis. The length of aqueducts affected by 3-meter sea-level

rise is 438,969.27 meters and 369,085.42 meters are located in flood zones. Of those that are

located in flood zones, 47,074.42 meters are in the 0.2% annual chance flood hazard, 16,638.05

Page 50: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

35

meters are in flood zone A, 252,665.90 meters are in flood zone AE, 202.66 meters are in flood

zone AH, 7,974.46 meters are in AO, and finally 44,529.97 meters are located in flood zone VE.

From combining all three layers, we can conclude that the length of aqueducts located in the

coastal zone that are in danger of all three threats to the coast is 116,987.95 meters which is

10.7% of the total length of aqueducts located within the coastal zone.

4.2.3. Bridges

On the main island of Puerto Rico, there are 240 bridges located within the coastal zone.

These bridges can be seen on the map presented below along with the areas in the coastal zone

affected by tsunamis, flooding and a scenario in which the sea-level rises 3-meters. Maps

detailing each separate threat to the coast can be seen in Appendix D.

Figure 6: Bridges and all three dangers

Page 51: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

36

Through analysis of these maps and their respective attribute tables, we concluded that

there are 49 bridges within the coastal zone that are in danger of flooding caused by tsunamis,

along with the other dangers associated with tsunamis. With the scenario of a 3-meter rise in sea

level, 146 bridges in the coastal zone would be affected and ultimately underwater. 133 bridges

are located in flood zones, 7 of which are in the 0.2% annual chance flood hazard zone and 6 are

in the A zone. 61 bridges are located in zone AE with BFEs ranging from 1.2 – 3 MSL, 3 bridges

are in the AO zone, and finally 10 are located in the VE zone with BFEs ranging from 2.4 – 4.9

MSL. When layering the bridges on top of all three dangers, we concluded that there are 30

bridges that are vulnerable. Since the heights of the bridges are not included in the attribute

tables of the bridges GIS layer, a more thorough analysis of inundation is not possible.

4.2.4. Hospitals

Although there are many more hospitals located all throughout Puerto Rico, there are 62

located within the coastal zone of the main island. These are shown in the map below,

represented by the red dots on top of the three dangers we investigated. Notably, most of these

hospitals are located in the San Juan area. Maps of each separate threat layered with the bridges

in the coastal zone can be found in Appendix D.

Figure 7: Hospitals and all three dangers

We can conclude from further analysis of the maps of hospitals that 10 are located in

flood zones caused by tsunamis. 17 hospitals would be affected by 3m SLR and there are 25

located in flood zones. Of these 25 hospitals, the C.D.T. Dr. Arnaldo J. Garcia Hospital is the

only one located in the 0.2% annual chance flood hazard zone; 10 hospitals are located in the AE

flood zone with BFEs ranging from 2.1 – 2.7 MSL, 4 hospitals are in the AO flood zone and

finally there are 10 located in the VE flood zone with BFEs ranging from 3.4 – 4.6 MSL. When

layering all dangers, with the infrastructure layer displayed on top, we found that there are 8

hospitals vulnerable to all three threats to the coast.

4.2.5. Power (Generation) Plants

Of the 20 power generation plants located in Puerto Rico, only 5 are located on the coast.

By layering the infrastructure layer on top of the different dangers in GIS, we could tell which of

Page 53: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

38

these generation plants were at risk to the three dangers previously mentioned. The tsunami layer

showed that two of the generation plants, located on the main island, were susceptible to floods

caused by tsunamis. These two power plants are the Palo Seco and Turbinas De Gas Mayaguez

Power Plants. With a 3-meter sea-level rise, four of these plants would be inundated. The Costa

Sur, Turbinas De Gas Mayaguez, San Juan Steam Plant and the Palo Seco Plant would all be

affected by the rising sea-level. With the flooding layer, we could see that the two plants affected

would be the Turbinas De Gas Mayaguez which is located in the AE flood zone with a BFE of 3

MSL and the San Juan Steam Plant, also located in a AE flood zone with a BFE of 2.1 MSL.

Since the Turbinas De Gas Mayaguez Power Plant is susceptible to all three dangers, we have

deemed this power plant as the most at risk.

The map in Figure 8 consists of the generation plant layer, set on top of the three risk

layers to show which plants are in danger of each climate change scenario. The five red dots are

the five plants located along the coast of the main island and as depicted in the legend; it is

shown which color or pattern represents which type of danger. More detailed maps are provided

in Appendix D, where the dangers are separated into three different maps.

4.2.6. Roads

The map below shows the roads, highlighted in red, located along the coastal zone as

well as the three threats posed to those roads. In Appendix D, there is a map with each separate

danger layered on top of the roads layer to show how many meters of roads are affected by each

threat.

Figure 9: Roads and all three dangers

Page 55: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

40

From the attribute tables associated with each map created, we found how many meters

of roads were affected by each threat to the coastal zone. The total length of roads within the

coastal region is 874938.25 meters. Of these, 152619.27 meters are all susceptible to flooding

caused directly from tsunamis. The length of roads affected by 3-meter sea-level rise is

292470.54 meters and 262499.26 meters are located in flood zones. Of those that are located in

flood zones, 28088.29 meters are in the 0.2% annual chance flood hazard zone, 15385.29 meters

are in flood zone A, 165751.5 meters are in flood zone AE with BFEs ranging from 1.2 – 4.3

MSL, 166.01 meters are in flood zone AH, 6209.78 meters are in AO, and finally 46898.35

meters are located in flood zone VE with BFEs ranging from 1.8 – 6.4 MSL. From combining all

three layers, we can conclude that the length of roads located in the coastal zone that are in

danger of all three threats to the coast is 88603.99 meters which is 10.1% of the total length of

roads within the coastal zone.

4.2.7. Seaports

On the main island of Puerto Rico, there are 10 seaports. These seaports can be seen in

the map presented below along with the areas in the coastal zone affected by tsunamis, flooding

and a scenario in which the sea-level would rise 3m. Maps representing each separate threat to

the coast can be seen in Appendix D.

Figure 10: Seaports and all three dangers

Through analysis of these maps and their respective attribute tables, we concluded that

there is only one seaport within the coastal zone that is in danger of flooding caused by tsunamis,

along with the other dangers associated with tsunamis; the Port of Mayaquez. With the scenario

of a 3m rise in sea level, 5 seaports in the coastal zone would be affected and ultimately

underwater. 7 seaports are located in flood zones, 4 of which are in the AE flood zone with BFEs

Page 57: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

42

ranging from 2.1 – 3 MSL and 3 are located in the VE flood zone with BFEs ranging from 3 –

5.5 MSL. When layering the seaports on top of all three dangers, we concluded that there is only

one seaport that is vulnerable to all threats and that port is the Port of Mayaquez.

4.2.8. Schools

Of the 2398 schools located in Puerto Rico, only 310 reside in the coastal zone. By

layering the infrastructure layer on top of the different dangers in GIS, we could tell which of

these schools were at risk to the three dangers previously mentioned. The tsunami layer showed

that 48 schools, located on the main island, were susceptible to floods caused by tsunamis. With

a 3m SLR, 134 schools would be underwater. With the flooding layer, we could see that 99

schools are located in flood zones. Of these at risk schools, 27 are located in the 0.2% annual

chance flood hazard zone, only one is in the A flood zone and 62 are in the AE flood zone with

BFEs ranging from 1.2 – 4.3 MSL. 4 schools are located in the AO flood zone and 4 are in the

VE flood zone with BFEs ranging from 3- 4.6 MSL. 26 schools are susceptible to all three

dangers, and therefore we have deemed these schools as the most at risk.

which schools are in danger of each climate change scenario. The red dots are the schools

located along the coast of the main island and from the legend; it is shown which color or pattern

represents which type of danger. More detailed maps of effected schools are provided in

Appendix D, where the dangers are separated into three different maps.

4.2.9. Transmission Lines

The map below shows the transmission lines, highlighted in red, located along the coastal

zone as well as the three threats posed to those lines. In Appendix D, there is a map with each

separate danger layered on top of the transmission lines layer to show how many meters of lines

are affected by each threat.

Page 59: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

44

Figure 12: Transmission Lines and all three dangers

From the attribute tables associated with each map created, we found how many meters

of transmission lines were affected by each threat to the coastal zone. The total length of

transmission lines within the coastal region is 258759.40 meters. Of these, 13029.85 meters are

all susceptible to flooding caused directly from tsunamis. The length of transmission lines

affected by 3-meter sea-level rise is 112648.12 meters and 105670.94 meters are located in flood

zones. Of those that are located in flood zones, 14839.75 meters are in the 0.2% annual chance

flood hazard zone, 15795.8 meters are in flood zone A, 70820.28 meters are in flood zone AE

with BFEs ranging from 1.2 – 4 MSL, 1923.78 meters are in AO, and finally 1817.28 meters are

located in flood zone VE with BFEs ranging from 2.7 – 3.7 MSL. From combining all three

Page 60: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

45

layers, we can conclude that the length of transmission lines located in the coastal zone that are

in danger of all three threats to the coast is 9993.46 meters which is 3.9% of all transmission

lines within the coastal zone.

4.2.10. Water Treatment Plants

Of the 65 water treatment plants (WTP) that are located in Puerto Rico, only 17 are

situated along the coast. By layering the infrastructure layer on top of the different threats in GIS,

we could tell which of these treatment plants were at risk to the three dangers previously

mentioned. The tsunami layer showed that 5 treatment plants located on the main island were

susceptible to floods caused by tsunamis. With a 3m SLR, 10 plants would be underwater. With

the flooding layer, we could see that there are 10 plants that would be susceptible to flooding. Of

these, the Arecibo Regional WWTP is the only plant in the 0.2% annual chance flood hazard

zone, 6 plants are located in the AE flood zone with a BFE of 2.1 MSL, and 3 plants in the VE

flood zone with BFEs of 3, 3.4, and 4.9 MSL. After layering the WTP layer on top of all three of

the risk layers, we found that only 3 plants were vulnerable to all dangers. These plants are the

Arecibo Regional WWTP, La Parguera WWTP, and the Boqueron (Villa Taina).

layers to show which plants are in danger of each climate change scenario. The red dots are the

plants located along the coast of the main island and from the legend, it is shown which color or

pattern represents which type of danger. More detailed maps are provided in Appendix D, where

the dangers are separated into three different maps.

4.3. Detailed Risk Assessments

Once we analyzed the infrastructure using GIS, we were able to deem certain buildings

and structures vulnerable due to their specific location. These vulnerable structures were then

organized into a risk assessment table in which we gave a more detailed analysis of each

Page 62: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

47

individual structure. The name of the asset was given, along with a general description and the

asset’s location. Next, we included the distance from each specific structure to the shore. Since

our definition for “coastal zone” includes areas within one kilometer from the shore, we provided

the distance in meters. We then declared in the table what potential climate hazard each structure

might face and the potential impact associated with each hazard. Finally, we included a column

for planned upgrades. This table can be found in Appendix E.

4.4. Discrepancies in SLR data

One problem we had through the course of this project was that, particularly with SLR,

there were multiple studies done and many discrepancies were apparent. Our two main sources

of data were the results of a study from the University of Arizona and the findings of a study

done by the Ciudadanos del Karso. Although the data from both sources were relatively similar,

the differences yielded substantial variation in the results of our analyses. For example, an

analysis of the CDK data presented us with the alarming result that both airports in the San Juan

metropolitan area would be unusable should the sea level rise as little as 1 meter. However, when

we analyzed the data from the University of Arizona, we found that the airports would not be at

risk until the sea level had risen at least 3 meters. This is a significant difference, as 2m of SLR

may take centuries. Unfortunately these were the data that were available for our analysis and

that is why we used them.

After our original analyses of the aforementioned data and towards the end of our project,

the DNER provided further (different) data of projected 1m SLR. These data are completely

inaccurate; they show that should the sea level rise 1m, multiple locations would have more dry

land than they do at present. A notable example of this would be in the San Juan area, as shown

in Figure 14 below.

4.5. Summary

The raw information we attained during the course of our project shed light on three

major findings. The first and most important point is that at least some of every type of critical

infrastructure in the coastal zone we analyzed is vulnerable to threats from climate variability.

This was implicated both our GIS analyses and our interviews. From the interviews, we found

the second major finding: coastal erosion is a bigger threat than we had originally been informed.

The third notable finding was that because climate variability has not been widely acknowledged

throughout Puerto Rico, there are no protection or mitigation strategies being utilized on the

island.

5. Conclusions and Recommendations

This chapter will be dedicated to making the final conclusions and recommendations of

our project. First, there will be a discussion of the impacts on Puerto Rican society, should any of

the critical infrastructure be damaged. Also, we will provide recommendations to improve GIS.

Lastly, there will be a discussion of our recommendations to improve research efforts in

subsequent years.

5.1. Conclusions

This section is dedicated to the conclusions we formed after analyzing the data we

gathered from interviews and GIS analysis. First, we decided to exclude the three smaller islands

of Puerto Rico and an explanation of this is presented below. We then drew conclusions as to

what would be the damage to Puerto Rican society from the damage of structures we found to be

vulnerable.

5.1.1. Impact on Puerto Rican Society

The importance of this project revolves around one main concept, the impact that damage

to critical infrastructures would have on the inhabitants of Puerto Rico. This concept provides

enough justification for the hours spent researching and analyzing the critical infrastructure on

the island. This section outlines the effects any damage to the different categories of

infrastructure would have on Puerto Rican society based on two types of threats, slow-onset

threats and rapid-onset threats. The main slow-onset threat we focused on was SLR, while all

other threats were categorized as rapid-onset threats. These rapid-onset threats include storm

surge, hurricanes and tsunamis. The following sections will provide suggested impacts on Puerto

Rican society based on slow versus rapid-onset threats effecting critical infrastructure.

Page 65: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

Ports

Airports and seaports are of great importance to any region of the world, especially on

small islands like Puerto Rico. Being completely surrounded by water and placed a significant

distance from a mainland, these ports become exponentially more important. SLR poses a very

great threat to ports of Puerto Rico, however because it is considered a slow-onset threat, there is

enough time to plan according and avoid any major disruptions. If the sea level were to rise only

a few meters, most of the airports on the island would be consumed by floodwater. Likewise, the

harbors throughout the island would also be completely submerged. In order to avoid the major

effects such an event would have on the inhabitants of Puerto Rico, some measures would have

to take effect well in advance. For instance, airports would need to be relocated a good distance

inland to insure they are a safe distance from the flood zones associated with SLR. Some

seaports could remain however docks and structures would have to be elevated to accommodate

the rising waters. Rapid-onset threats cannot be so readily anticipated and prepared for and

therefore have a much greater effect on Puerto Rican society. The ports of Puerto Rico provide

essentials for daily life, because although some of the goods sold on the island are produced

locally, the vast majority of goods are imported. These ports are also extremely important to the

economy due to the money, which can be generated assuming they remain open. When a rapid-

onset threat affects coastal areas, these ports have to be occasionally shut down causing a severe

impact on the accumulation of supplies and commerce. Transportation to and from the mainland

(or elsewhere) would also be greatly affected. Individuals would be stranded on the island with

no way to travel elsewhere; those who are visiting would not be able to return home. Repairs to

airports and seaports would have to be performed very quickly to ensure traffic to and from the

island remains open. It is evident that life in Puerto Rico would be severely affected should

Page 66: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

51

climate change significantly damage the airports and seaports on the island. Our project was

aimed at identifying which structures, ports included, may be at risk to prevent this damage from

occurring.

Sewer and Aqueduct Infrastructure

Aqueducts are also of very significant importance to the inhabitants of Puerto Rico. Once

again, the fact that Puerto Rico is an island means that the majority of the water in its vicinity is

not drinkable. Aqueducts provide essential clean, drinkable water to people residing all over the

island. SLR could case pipes to become rusty more quickly than anticipated and cause the supply

of fresh water to become undrinkable. Desalinization is being studied on the island as well as in

other areas however it is extremely expensive and therefore may not be the best option for Puerto

Rico where the majority of its inhabitants are below the poverty line. Rapid-onset threats can

also affect the transportation of fresh water throughout the island leaving people without

drinkable water possibly for days. Since a human can only live without water for a few days at a

time, the protection of these aqueducts is absolutely necessary. Another effect of rapid-onset

threats would be the flooding of sewers causing wastewater to enter the streets. In order to

prevent this from happening as much as possible, it is important to keep sewers away from flood

zones or insure there is appropriate drainage in them. This is another aspect our project focused

on to better protect the inhabitants of Puerto Rico.

Roadways and Bridges

Transportation throughout Puerto Rico depends vastly on the roadways and bridges

dispersed throughout the island. A large portion of these roads and bridges exist in the coastal

zone and therefore are in danger of being affected by climate change. Some of these roads are

located so close to the coast that they are only a few meters away from the ocean. Due to the

Page 67: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

52

effects of SLR, these roads will eventually be completely inundated and need to be moved

elsewhere, which raises the question of where they should be moved to? Some areas of Puerto

Rico need to be preserved and protected due to their ecosystems and biodiversity. If the need to

relocate major highways occurred, would they have to be place in sensitive ecological areas?

Many regions of Puerto Rico are too developed to build an additional road, which may not leave

too many options. SLR can also have a great impact on bridges in the coastal zone. Bridges may

become rusted and fail due to high tides and storm surges or even become completely inundated.

When a rapid-onset threat hits the island, water comes right up to and over the roads and after the

waters have receded, large amounts of sand and debris are left behind coating the roads. Many

roads are closed down completely during the stormy months to prevent people from trying to use

them and being injured. This severely affects transportation throughout the island and causes

traffic on open roads to be much worse than usual. One of our project’s objectives was to

identify which roads are in danger so that measures can be taken to better protect them or move

them elsewhere.

Hospitals

Hospitals may be one of the most important types of infrastructure anywhere in the

world. Their main purpose is to help people in need, those who are injured or sick. When climate

change effects a region, people may be injured and require the assistance only a hospital can

provide. Unfortunately, because Puerto Rico is an island, a great many hospitals are located

within the coastal zone and therefore are in serious danger of threats due to the looming coast.

SLR can be planned for by the relocation of hospitals lying within a zone, which will eventually

be under water. However this process takes significant time and would have to be initiated long

before the structure actually experienced the effects of SLR. Should a rapid-onset threat hit the

Page 68: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

53

island, many people would be injured and buildings destroyed, including hospitals. This leads to

a significant portion of injured people left without anywhere to be treated while hospitals are out

of commission. Injured personnel would have to travel much greater distances to receive

treatment. Occasionally tents will be set up if hospitals are too damaged to remain functional.

Due to the extreme importance of these structures, damage to hospitals may be one of the

greatest factors that would negatively impact the inhabitants of Puerto Rico, and therefore it is a

priority in our efforts to protect the infrastructure in Puerto Rico.

Power Plants

Another major asset to the island of Puerto Rico are the power or generation plants

dispensed throughout the island. These plants provide electricity to all the inhabitants on the

island. Once again SLR can be planned for by either constructing new power plants further

inland or creating reinforcements to better protect these structures. Unfortunately the issue with

closing down a power plant is that the nuclear waste created there will still remain long after the

plant is closed. If the sea level surpasses one of these closed power plants, mass amounts of

nuclear waste would be consumed by the ocean and have devastating effects. Should a rapid-

onset threat hit the island and effect one or more of these plants, residences and businesses could

be left without electricity for anywhere between a few days to, in more severe cases, several

months. Many businesses do have generators however these generators may only serve the

computer and security systems. Also important to note is that the majority of these generators are

typically located in the basement and are still susceptible to the flooding that tends to accompany

rapid-onset threats.

Page 69: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

54

Schools

Schools, which typically house hundreds of individuals between the students and

teachers, are also of great importance to our study due to the large number of young individuals

whose lives would be at risk should a rapid-onset hazard hit the building while classes were in

session. Even if the structure is affected while classes are not in session, damage to the building

would still have a huge effect on the studies of those students attending said school. While

repairs to the damaged structure were being performed, the education of the students would be

seriously delayed if not dissolved completely. Students could be temporarily relocated to

unaffected schools however this runs the risk of schools becoming overpopulated. In preparation

for slow-onset threats, new schools could be constructed on higher grounds to prevent flooding.

Again this is a very time consuming process and would have to begin long before the effects of

SLR are felt on any given structure. Schools along the coast are obviously of great importance to

our project as the lives of hundreds of students and faculty would be severely affected should

these structures be damaged.

Summary

Needless to say there are multiple types of infrastructure in the coastal zone that are

essential to Puerto Rican life. Any damage to these structures could impact the island’s

inhabitants for anywhere between a few days to a few months if repairs are needed. One of our

project’s main objectives was to determine which structures in the coastal zone were most at risk

so that steps can be taken to better protect them and limit the detrimental effects any damage to

these structures may have on daily life in Puerto Rico.

5.2. Recommendations for Future Studies

Although our project is completed, there remains research to be done by the DNER

Office of Coastal Zone Management and possibly more students. We were able to accomplish

the goals we laid out at the start of our project. However, there were limitations and setbacks we

encountered while working on it. This section will outline our recommendations for future

research.

5.2.1. Consideration of the minor islands of Puerto Rico

It is important to note that during this study, the islands of Culebra, Vieques, and Mona

were not considered. These islands account for about 200 km out of the 700 km of total coastline

in Puerto Rico. These islands were not considered for three reasons. First, our main mode of

transportation was the bus and train, both of which stay in the San Juan Metropolitan area. We

deemed it too difficult and costly to attempt to get to any of these islands. Second, the

infrastructure on these islands is not as critical to Puerto Rico as the ones located on the main

island. Last, the GIS data for these islands were incomplete; see section 5.2.1 for a full

description.

5.2.2. Improving GIS Data Usability

When analyzing our maps used by GIS, some inconsistencies and errors were

encountered. One of the biggest errors was found when analyzing hospitals in the San Juan area.

There appears to be 4 hospitals located in the water just off the coast of San Juan. The actual

hospitals are located somewhere close by but of course they are inland. This made it difficult to

analyze the maps we created since we were not exactly sure where the hospitals were. For future

studies we recommend the GIS data be updated to have more accurate positions for the

infrastructure they include.

Page 71: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

56

Furthermore, the GIS data for the islands of Culebra, Vieques, and Mona were

incomplete. The climate change risks were included; however, the infrastructures were lacking.

The data featured the airports, bridges, roads, and hospitals. It does not display any schools,

seaports, or accurate transmission lines. The islands receive their power from transmission lines

that run along the ocean floor from the mainland. These were not displayed at all, and they are a

vital part of the operation of the islands.

In the initial stages of our project our sponsor made it clear to us that one of the important

infrastructures to analyze would be hotels. Hotels are a critical infrastructure because they are a

large source of revenue for Puerto Rico. The majority of tourists visiting Puerto Rico will stay in

hotels, and many of these are located in the coastal zone. This places them at risk; however, we

were unable to identify any of these hotels using GIS. The GIS software did not have any

information on hotels; therefore we were unable to identify at risk hotels using GIS. We were

able to visit La Concha Resort and gain some information, which is included in this report. We

recommend that hotel data be collected and added to the GIS so that it may be analyzed in future

studies.

From our previous discussion of the discrepancies in the SLR data we used for our

analysis (see section 4.4.); we recommend the collaboration and standardization of the GIS maps

and the data that they include.

5.2.3. Adding to the GIS Database

While the GIS database was instrumental in our analyses and by no means incomplete, in

order to assess the vulnerability of the critical infrastructure of Puerto Rico, we would

recommend that the data be updated to include our findings. We suggest adding attributes to the

Page 72: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

57

infrastructure tables, particularly the airport, aqueduct, bridge, generation plant, hospital, road,

school, seaport, transmission line, and water treatment plant tables.

We suggest adding 11 attributes to the data on each type of infrastructure. The first

attribute we would recommend adding would be one entitled “COASTAL_ZONE.” The

information stored in this column would be either a “yes” or a “no,” identifying whether each

structure is in the coastal zone or not.

The next 7 attributes we advise adding correspond to the inundation data from FEMA.

The first, FID_FEMA, would be the identification number of the flood zone that contains each

structure, so that a user can easily access more information about the relevant flood zone. The

next column we would recommend adding would be entitled “FLD_ZONE,” and would contain

entries such as “AE,” “AO,” “X,” etc., identifying which type of flood zone, if any, each

structure is in. The next five attributes would be information that would describe how threatening

each flood zone is. The recommended “FLOODWAY” attribute would hold the word

“FLOODWAY” if the structure is in a floodway, or nothing (as in the original FEMA data). The

next attribute, “SFHA_TF” would store a “T” or “F,” denoting whether it is true or false that the

infrastructure is in a special flood hazard area; that is, if it is inundated by 100-year flooding and

the BFE or the velocity of wave action has been determined. The next attribute would be

“STATIC_BFE” and hold the numerical value of the BFE. The next column would be titled

“DEPTH_METERS,” and it would hold a numerical value corresponding to the “DEPTH”

column in the original FEMA data, normalized to meters via FEMA’s LEN_UNIT attribute.

Similarly, the last suggested inundation attribute would be “VELOCITY_METERS_SECOND”

which would hold the velocity of the wave action from FEMA’s VELOCITY normalized to

meters/second using the VEL_UNIT attribute in the original data.

Page 73: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

58

The following two suggested attributes pertain to areas affected by tsunamis. The 9th

attribute our team recommends adding would be called “FID_TSUNAMI” and hold the

identification number pertaining to the tsunami zone that contains each structure and would be

used in the same way as the FID_FEMA attribute: as a key for a database user to obtain more

specific information about the threats from tsunamis relevant to that structure. The next attribute

we suggest is entitled “TSUNAMI_STATUS” and correlates directly to the “STATUS” column

in our original tsunami data, storing the self-explanatory “Safe Zone” or “Flood Zone.”

The last attribute we recommend adding is called “3M_SEA_LEVEL_RISE” it and

would store the words “affected” or “unaffected.” This would denote whether each structure

would be affected or unaffected by 3m of SLR. Additionally, in the Aqueduct, Road, and

Transmission Line tables, we suggest adding a 12th attribute called “Affected_Shape_Length”

which would store the numerical value of the length of each of this infrastructure that is affected

by 3m SLR.

Additional information that would help provide a more in-depth critical infrastructure

vulnerability assessment in the future using GIS would be more detailed measurements and

numbers pertaining to the specific structures. For bridges and roads, there could be a column for

the height. This would help prove which bridges and how many meters of roads would

potentially be inundated if there were a 1 meter, 2 meter and 3 meter sea-level rise. For the

buildings being analyzed, the capacity of each building at peak hours of the day would be very

useful. The number of people working in each building, the number of patients occupying the

hospitals, and the number of students attending each school would lend insight into the range of

effects that both a rapid and a slow-onset hazard would have on each specific structure. The

59

stability of the buildings, building code information, and date of last inspection would also help

when performing a more detailed risk assessment of Puerto Rico’s critical infrastructure.

Partial spreadsheets of data with our recommended attributes are included in Appendix

G. These include all the types of coastal zone infrastructure mentioned. We strongly recommend

that these attributes be added to the comprehensive GIS database as a convenience for future

researchers that will continue our studies and other studies on infrastructure in Puerto Rico.

5.2.4. Difficulties with Arranging Interviews

Throughout the course of this project we experienced many difficulties, the most

expedient of which came in identifying people to interview in Puerto Rico. We planned to use

snowball-sampling method to gain a variety of experts to interview. The problem we

encountered right away was that the first person we had planned to interview proved to be

unreliable and hard to reach. Our first potential interviewee was with Jaime Geliga, Chief of the

Municipal Water Branch Program of the EPA Region 2 in San Juan. Our sponsor told us that he

would be a great person to interview and provide us with contact information for more

interviews. We were able to get in touch with him via email and set up a meeting time. He then

postponed the interview, from March 31st at 2:00 PM to April 4th at 2:00 PM. On April 4th we

tried calling his office but were told he was out of the office for the day. After that we called and

emailed him several times but have not heard back from him since March 30th.

We also tried getting in contact with someone from the Ashford Presbyterian Community

Hospital and were met with similar results. We were told to contact the executive director of the

hospital, Pedro Gonzalez. We did, but never heard back from him. We then went into the human

resources office of the hospital and were told to send an official letter from the DNER regarding

our project. The letter was emailed on April 13th and we have not heard back. There were many

Page 75: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

60

other attempts to contact various people of all the critical infrastructures we were concerned

with, but only a fraction of them were fulfilled, for a more complete list see Appendix F.

For future studies we recommend that students or researchers begin contacting

interviewees well in advance. Given our timeline, we planned to begin contacting people and

conducting interviews during the first two weeks of our stay in Puerto Rico. We could not

anticipate on the level of difficulty in getting responses. We recommend sending emails, placing

follow-up calls, and, if necessary, sending follow-up emails.

5.2.5. Conducting Critical Infrastructure Analyses

During the initial stages of our project we planned to visit some of the infrastructures we

identified as being at risk and analyze them. This was our goal when we arrived in Puerto Rico;

however, after the troubles we experienced in gaining responses from interviewees we knew this

was not an achievable goal. The only way to conduct these analyzes would be to contact people

at the infrastructures and gain their permission to analyze the buildings. Since we were not able

to get in contact with many of the key people involved, we removed the critical infrastructure

analysis from our goals. We embrace the notion that these analyses are crucial to gaining a better

insight into which infrastructures are at risk and at which level. Therefore, we recommend that

future studies place emphasis on conducting these analyses and try to overcome the obstacles

faced by our group. Our work has laid the foundations for future studies in this area. The next

step would be to start analyzing the infrastructures that we identified as at risk.

5.3. Summary

Our research and analysis have aided us in achieving our goal, which was to determine

what structures within Puerto Rico’s coastal zone are most susceptible to the hazards of climate

change and variability. We were able to find the different types of at risk structures through

Page 76: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

61

widespread research. From there we were able to use GIS analysis to determine to what extent

these critical structures might be susceptible to projected dangers. In performing our GIS

analysis, we created user-friendly visuals in the form of maps and tables that justify our findings.

After the analysis was complete, we were then able to determine how damage to these structures

would affect the inhabitants of Puerto Rico. Research projects similar to this will help ensure a

safer environment for those living and visiting the island. The vibrant culture of its people, the

lush vegetation and the historical background of its buildings are all good reasons why people

should continue to experience Puerto Rico for centuries to come.

Both risk and hazard management strategies and risk-based approach helped us evaluate the dangers facing the structures we studied. A review of the standards and codes helped us determine which structures meet the codes and which may need to be reinforced. Working with the insurance industry were a great way to promote structural reinforcements throughout the population. The climate change

Appendix A: Our Sponsor the DNER

This appendix is a description of our project sponsor, the Department of Natural and

Environmental Resources (DNER), in Puerto Rico. We will describe our sponsor’s mission, the

funding and organizational structure of the organization, and the resources our sponsor has

available, as well as identifying other organizations in Puerto Rico that work on the same

problem we will attempt to solve in our Interactive Qualifying Project.

The DNER (2011) is part of the Constitutional Office of the Governor. As a non-profit

organization it was established in 1972 and then reorganized in 1993. Their mission is primarily

to protect, conserve and manage natural resources to ensure a better quality of life for future

generations. Similarly, the vision of the DNER is to promote a safe environment through the use

of sustainable natural resources, management of the environment and the “transformation of

Puerto Rican culture to one of conservation.”

The DNER (2011) has two head administrators and four administrative assistants. There

are seven employees in the Advisory Office. Each of the six divisions in the DNER has four

secretarial assistants. The DNER has seven regional offices. The DNER also includes the Corps

of Rangers and the Commissioner of Navigation, which were created for legal reasons. This

structure meets the standards set by the Office of Management and Budget. Within the DNER,

the Puerto Rico Coastal Zone Management Project (PRCZMP) is the most relevant to our

project.

The Department of Natural and Environmental Resources is an organization that works

with many smaller agencies to accomplish their goal of protecting and managing resources and

environmental situations. Some of these smaller agencies are the Institute of Puerto Rican

Culture and the Environmental Protection Agency. The amount of information and knowledge

Page 85: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

70

available to the DNER is extensive because it is partnered with different agencies, all specialized

in their own fields. The Department of Natural and Environmental Resources alone is quite

knowledgeable itself as it employs a wide range of public servants from various disciplines and

skills. There are experts in the fields of educators, biologists, geologists, ecologists, planners,

computer professionals, architects, engineers and surveyors, among others.

The technology available to the DNER (2011) is growing each year. The PRCZMP,

which is an associate of the DNER, has made great use of the Geographical Information System

(GIS) software. This system has been used to review physical, environmental, and social changes

in locations and environments; locate traditional access ways through aerial photographs; and

identify critical areas for wetland management (Diaz & Nieves, 2007). Other forms of

technology that are very useful to the organization are digital cameras, satellite images, aerial

photographs and a refined global positioning system (GPS) (National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration, 2010).

From the many people available within the organization, to the technology present and

the information and knowledge of all the agencies combined, we will have access to many

resources to attack the problem we were given.

The Department of Natural and Environmental Resources has one central office in Puerto

Rico and 68 work units spread out on the island. Our liaison, Kasey Jacobs, works for the DNER

and is NOAA coastal management fellow. This means DNER and NOAA work together in their

efforts to improve the resources in Puerto Rico. The NOAA (2011) has six line offices. Of these

six, the one that concerns our project the most is the National Ocean Service (NOS). One

division of NOS is the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM). OCRM

oversees six programs throughout the country, they are: the PRCZMP, the Cooperative Institute

Page 86: Assessing Critical Infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s Coastal Zone · 2018-10-12 · analyzing critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone versus its vulnerability to the

71

for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology (CICEET), the Coral Reef Conservation

Program, the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), the Coastal and Estuarine

Land Conservation Program (CELP), and the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC).

In Puerto Rico, besides the coastal program, there is the Coral Reef Program and the

Jacobs Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NOAA 2011). The Coral Reef Program works

with the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force in addressing threats to the coral reef and improving its

health. In 2000 Puerto Rico received full approval for the Coastal Nonpoint Program. The main

goal of this program was to improve water quality and to reduce run off in coastal zones. The

Coastal Zone Management Program has also partnered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in

studies in Puerto Rico’s coastal zones. In the 2007 report for the Coastal Management Program

many partners are listed, some of which are the Caribbean Fisheries Management Control, U.S.

Geological Survey, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the University of Puerto Rico

(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2011).

Appendix B: What is an IQP and Our Project’s Qualifications

Completion of the Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) is required of all WPI students

before graduation. Usually completed in a student’s junior year, in teams of three or four

students. It counts as three courses, it can be done over three terms, or during one term. IQP’s

that are completed abroad are done so in one term with the completion of a preparation course

before the students go abroad. An IQP is commonly done in cooperation with an external

sponsoring organization. It is important that WPI students are well rounded in all disciplines of

learning, and that they are an active member of society. The goal of the IQP is to teach students

how science and technology are integral to the foundations of society.

In order to be deemed an IQP there are several outcomes, which our project must fulfill.

Before going to Puerto Rico we are required to define clear and tangible goals and objectives for

the project. We have done this in our goals and objectives section. We have a tentative

methodology for our work in Puerto Rico; the next step is to implement it once we arrive. In our

preparatory class we have had several presentations to practice our oral communication skills

and use of appropriate, effective visual aids. Once our project is completed we will deliver a final

presentation to our sponsoring organization. Our final report will demonstrate the ability to write

clearly, critically and persuasively. We must also properly cite information and integrate

information from multiple sources to identify appropriate approaches to the project goals. The

final report will analyze and synthesize results from many disciplines like: social, ethical,

humanistic, and technical. By meeting these outcomes our project will be a successful IQP.

Appendix C: Interview Protocols Civil Engineer Interview Protocol Focus structures:

• Hospitals • Bridges • Government Buildings • Churches

All interviews will be administered in pairs. Prior to the interview, each interviewer will introduce himself and one interviewer will read the following:

• We are part of a group working with the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, specifically the Puerto Rico Coastal Zone Management Program. Our mission is to determine if Puerto Rico’s critical infrastructure in the coastal zone is vulnerable to climate variability and if so, how. For our project we have defined the coastal zone as 1-kilometer inland from the coast. We are administering this interview in order to gain more knowledge about the effects of climate change on the structures in the Coastal Zone.

After finishing reading the above, the interviewer will ask if the interviewee has any questions, or if he/she is ready to begin answering the questions. The interview will consist of the following questions:

1. Which structures from each of the categories listed above pose the biggest threat if they were to be significantly damaged?

2. How do these structures near the coast prepare themselves for coastal dangers? a. Rising sea level b. Storm surge c. Earthquakes d. Hurricanes

3. How much damage would these structures be able to sustain and still be operational? 4. Which of these structures in the coastal zone would you consider the most at risk given

their location? 5. What types of reinforcements are used to protect failing structures? 6. Are there any types of reinforcements being studied but not yet being used? 7. What aspects would you focus on when determining if a structure is failing? (i.e.

corrosion, levelness, distance from sea water) 8. How can the lifetime of a structure be affected by coastal hazards? (i.e. rising sea level,

storm surge, earthquakes, hurricanes) 9. What is the general lifetime of a structure on the coast? Or does it depend on the type of

structure?

Water Treatment Interview Protocol Includes:

• Levees • Dikes

All interviews will be administered in pairs. Prior to the interview, each interviewer will introduce himself and one interviewer will read the following:

After finishing reading the above, the interviewer will ask if the interviewee has any questions, or if he/she is ready to begin answering the questions. The interview will consist of the following questions:

1. What precautions are necessary for sewage systems in the coastal zone? 2. Which sewage systems/levees/dikes pose the biggest threat if they were to be

significantly damaged? 3. How much damage would these structures be able to withstand and still be operational? 4. Which of these structures in the coastal zone would you consider the most at risk given

their location? 5. How would levees and dikes be affected by years of salt-water damage from floods and

storm surges? 6. Is corrosion a factor when looking at old levees and dikes?

After finishing reading the above, the interviewer will ask if the interviewee has any questions, or if he/she is ready to begin answering the questions. The interview will consist of the following questions:

1. How does flooding affect a sewage treatment plants and sewers? 2. Would storm surges affect the structure of a sewage treatment plant? 3. Would the plant be able to continue to operate under conditions such as sea-level rise,

storm surges, and hurricanes? 4. Can you tell us more about the electric generators used when the power fails? Is the

capacity limited during generator use? 5. Are the plants still able to produce clean drinking water under these conditions? 6. Which plants along the coastal zone do you think would be most at risk to climate

change? 7. What is being done to mitigate potential dangers to the sewage treatment plant? 8. What, if anything, can be done that is not currently?

Dear Jaime,

My name is Kasey Jacobs, coordinator of the Puerto Rico CoastalAdaptation Project at DNER. A couple of months ago I discussed ourproject with Ms. Teresita Rodriguez and she highly recommended we speakwith you.

As a component of a Coastal Zone-wide Vulnerability Assessment we havecontracted a team of students from Worcester PolytechnicInstitute(WPI)to perform a critical infrastructure vulnerabilityassessment. This assessment will be identifying which types ofinfrastructure might be at-risk from climate impacts like sea level riseand storm surges. Wastewater treatment plants and sewage infrastructureare of course high priority.

Below is a letter from the WPI team requesting an interview with you atyour earliest convenience. I have also cc'ed them to this interviewrequest so you have their group email address.

Thank you for your time,Kasey Jacobs

We are a group of four students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute whoare working on a coastal zone management project in Puerto Rico. We areworking with Kasey Jacobs and the Department of Natural andEnvironmental Resources to identify which infrastructure within thecoastal zone are vulnerable to certain climate changes or weatherpatterns such as rising sea-level and hurricanes, to name a few. Partof our project involves interviewing knowledgeable people in Puerto Ricoabout coastal infrastructure, and Kasey identified you as an importantperson we should interview. Some of the things we would like to discusswith you are sewage treatment plants and sewage systems, operations,upgrades and maintenance. We were wondering if we could schedule a timeto meet next week and conduct a short interview. If it is okay with youwe would like to tape the conversation instead of taking written notes.Please get back to us at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

Martha,

Saludos. EL grupo de estudiantes del Worcester Polytechnic Institute estará trabajando con miequipo de Zona Costanera hasta mayo 2011 en la actualización de nuestro inventario deinfraestructura vulnerable a los cambios climáticos. Ellos quisieran entrevistar personas clave deagencias como Turismo, AEE, AAA, DTOP, Autoridad de Carreteras, Edificios Públicos, entre otrospara identificar prioridades para la adaptación o protección de infraestructura de acuerdo a cadasector específico.

Su entrevista está diseñada para ser breve y es nuestro compromiso enviarte los resultados así comomantenerte informado sobre el proceso que adelantamos para la determinación de la vulnerabilidadde nuestras costas y el desarrollo de estrategias de adaptación a los cambios climáticos.

Espero que puedas sacar un tiempito para ellos y/o ayudarlos a conseguir una entrevista con algunapersona de desarrollo, planificaicón o infraestructura que nos pueda ayudar.

Gracias,

Sra. Martha Silva,

Buenos tardes,

We are a group of four students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusettsand are currently in Puerto Rico working with the Department of Natural and EnvironmentalResources on assessing critical infrastructure within Puerto Rico's coastal zone. Our project is todetermine whether some of Puerto Rico's infrastructure is vulnerable to the effects of climatevariability such as rising sea-level, storm surges, high winds, earthquakes, and hurricanes; and if so,how.

With that said, we are trying to collect information and conduct interviews to achieve moreknowledge of these effects on specific infrastructures and assets within the coastal zone of PuertoRico. The power supply infrastructure is of great interest to us and it would be extremely helpful anduseful if we could conduct a brief interview either in person or over the phone, whichever ispreferable to you. If we should contact someone specifically regarding our possible interview, pleaseforward us the email address and we will contact them directly.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Caitlin Chase, Gregory Gonzalez, Daphne Gorman, and Sydney Higginbottom

Martha,

Saludos. EL grupo de estudiantes del Worcester Polytechnic Institute estará trabajando con mi equipo de ZonaCostanera hasta mayo 2011 en la actualización de nuestro inventario de infraestructura vulnerable a los cambiosclimáticos. Ellos quisieran entrevistar personas clave de agencias como Turismo, AEE, AAA, DTOP, Autoridad deCarreteras, Edificios Públicos, entre otros para identificar prioridades para la adaptación o protección deinfraestructura de acuerdo a cada sector específico.

Su entrevista está diseñada para ser breve y es nuestro compromiso enviarte los resultados así como mantenerteinformado sobre el proceso que adelantamos para la determinación de la vulnerabilidad de nuestras costas y eldesarrollo de estrategias de adaptación a los cambios climáticos.

Espero que puedas sacar un tiempito para ellos y/o ayudarlos a conseguir una entrevista con alguna persona dedesarrollo, planificaicón o infraestructura que nos pueda ayudar.

Gracias,

Ernesto L. DíazDirectorPrograma de Manejo de la Zona CostaneraSan Juan, Puerto Rico

Sra. Martha Silva,

Buenos tardes,

We are a group of four students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts and arecurrently in Puerto Rico working with the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources on assessingcritical infrastructure within Puerto Rico's coastal zone. Our project is to determine whether some of Puerto Rico'sinfrastructure is vulnerable to the effects of climate variability such as rising sea-level, storm surges, high winds,earthquakes, and hurricanes; and if so, how.

With that said, we are trying to collect information and conduct interviews to achieve more knowledge of theseeffects on specific infrastructures and assets within the coastal zone of Puerto Rico. The power supply

infrastructure is of great interest to us and it would be extremely helpful and useful if we could conduct a briefinterview either in person or over the phone, whichever is preferable to you. If we should contact someonespecifically regarding our possible interview, please forward us the email address and we will contact themdirectly.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
