Example #1 – Tampa Bay: Making the Business Case for Resilience

Brizaga proudly led a groundbreaking regional study for the Tampa Bay Partnership, quantifying the economic risks of sea level rise and flooding—and the return on investment for resilience. Working alongside AECOM and the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, Brizaga helped shape a framework that connects climate adaptation with economic growth.

Our efforts included:

Mapping flood exposure and identifying at-risk assets across six counties
Developing a resilient framework to guide future investment
Leading stakeholder outreach to ensure the strategy reflected local priorities
