2010 STATE PLAN REVIEW • Section 1 - Introduction • Section 2 - Planning Process • Section 3 - State Profile • Section 4 - Risk Assessment • Section 5 - Mitigation Strategy • Section 6 - Capability Assessment • Section 7 - Plan Maintenance
SECTION 1.0 - INTRODUCTION • Purpose – documenting historical hazard events and vulnerabilities and strategies for mitigation that will make Montana a more disaster resistant State. • Scope – Meet requirements of Standard Level Plan with potential to expand to an Enhanced Plan in the future. • Authority – Section 322 (Mitigation Planning) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act enacted by Section 104 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000.
SECTION 2.0 - PLANNING PROCESS 2010 STATE PLAN • Planning Team – review and decision making • Stakeholders Group – agencies, businesses, non-profits • Local Involvement – 12 meetings around the state • Project website 2013 STATE PLAN UPDATE • Public meetings in six largest cities (Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Butte, Bozeman and Helena). • Interactive Website – www.LetsMitigateMontana.comwith blog capabilities for SHMO. • Introduction of social media (Facebook). • Educational module for high school students. • Poster session at Capitol rotunda during legislature.
SECTION 3.0 - STATE PROFILE 2010 STATE PLAN • Climate – topography, temperature, precipitation • State-Owned Assets • State Buildings • Infrastructure – highways, bridges, dams, etc. • Population (2000 census data) • Economy 2013 STATE PLAN UPDATE • Look at effect of climate change • Update asset data • Utilize data from 2010 census
SECTION 4.0 - RISK ASSESSMENT 2010 STATE PLAN • Profile 8 Hazards • Use GIS to calculate loss estimates using census block data 2013 STATE PLAN UPDATE • Develop hazard profiles for Communicable Disease, Drought, Terrorism • Spatially locate critical facilities for GIS analysis • Use GIS to intersect state critical facilities within hazard areas. • Use GIS to intersect Montana assessor data with hazard areas. • Report data of # and value of residential and commercial/agr/ industrial structures at risk for each county and incorporated city
2013 STATE PLAN RISK ASSESSMENT • Develop GIS layer for each hazard area where spatial differences exist. • WUI from CWPPs for wildfire • DFIRMS/HAZUS for flooding • Inundation maps for dam failure • Peak ground acceleration for earthquake • ¼-mile buffer to highways/railroads/facilities for hazardous material incidents • Determine societal exposure • Total population at risk, under 18, over 65

SECTION 6.0 – CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT 2010 STATE PLAN • Local Mitigation Capabilities • Building codes • Zoning • Growth Policies • Subdivision Regulations • Planning Boards • Floodplain Management 2013 STATE PLAN UPDATE • Describe proposed mitigation-related legislation.
SECTION 7.0 - PLAN MAINTENANCEPDM PLAN SECTIONS REVIEWED • Post Disaster Activities • Integration with other State Plans • Hazard profiles/addition of new hazards • History and disaster declarations • Goals, objectives, and potential actions • Project prioritization • Annually - all of the above plus: • Planning Team meeting on the past years activities/problems • Integration of local plans • New study data • GIS data
SECTION 7.0 - PLAN MAINTENANCEPDM PLAN SECTIONS REVIEWED • Annually (continued): • Mitigation funding sources • State mitigation capabilities • Local mitigation capabilities • Project evaluation and monitoring • Every three years - all of the above plus: • Planning process • Organization responsibilities • Economic data • Population data • Hazard assessment methodology
SECTION 7.0 - PLAN MAINTENANCEPDM PLAN SECTIONS REVIEWED • Every three years (continued): • State structure data • Data limitations • Qualitative hazard assessment QUESTION??? • How can we improve coordination among agencies? • How can we more effectively integrate mitigation into other state programs?
