The Hazard Vulnerability Index (HVI) is an attempt to aid in identifying potential vulnerabilities within the State's roadway infrastructure.\n\nRE SHA CENTERLINES:\nFunctional classification is the process by which public streets and highways are grouped into classes according to the character of service they are intended to provide. Generally, highways fall into one of four broad categories, principal arterials, minor arterials, collector roads, and local roads. Arterials provide the highest level of service at the greatest speed for the longest uninterrupted distance, with some degree of access control. Collector roads provide a less highly developed level of service at a lower speed for shorter distances by collecting traffic from local roads and connecting them with arterials. Local roads consists of all roads not defined as arterials or collectors; primarily provides access to land with little or no through movement.", "description": "
The layer supports Maryland State Highway <\/SPAN>Administration <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>(SHA) leadership and planners as they endeavor to mitigate or prevent the impacts of sea level change resulting from land surface subsidence and rising sea levels.

SLC is localized using water elevations collected from a qualifying-2 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tidal reference station - NOAA observations are transformed from tidal datum to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88).
