Estimated Damages•3,000+ properties in modeled floodplain for the 1% annual chance flood (100-year event)
•Estimated property damages ~$397 million (2013 price level)
•Life safety risk (~54 000•Life safety risk ( 54,000 residents, ~85,000 students/ workers, ~79,000 Waikiki visitors in existing floodplainvisitors in existing floodplain
•Flooding of surface streets, impacting emergency access

Approaches/Tradeoffs Considered in Alternati es Formulation ProcessAlternatives Formulation Process
Approaches: Tradeoffs:Approaches:Attenuate water where the highest volume of peak flows occur upper Manoa
