6. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview . .

7. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview:What is �Hazard Mitigation�? Any measures undertaken to reduce the risks posed by natural and/or manmade hazards on a place and its population.

8. Hazard mitigation measures can include structural projects like levees, dams, or safe rooms. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: What is �Hazard Mitigation�?

9. Also, non-structural projects like acquisition, elevation, retrofit of buildings, or vegetation management�

10. �regulatory practices like enacting or enforcing building codes, permits, or land use policies� Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: What is �Hazard Mitigation�?

11. �or training and educational programs for communities and local agencies. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: What is �Hazard Mitigation�?

12. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: Potential Mitigation Projects �Soft� mitigation projects include mitigation activities such as: building code enforcement land development regulations public education studies and plans etc.

13. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: Potential Mitigation Projects �Hard� mitigation projects or �property protection� construction activities: acquisition / elevation / mitigation reconstruction of structures retrofits for high wind loads such as installing hurricane shutters improving drainage etc.

14. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: Acquisition Most cost-effective mitigation measure. Permanently removes vulnerable property. Structure: demolished or relocated; land: open space in perpetuity. Requires willing sellers and communities. Source: Missouri Buyout Program 2002

15. Raising a structure above Base Flood Elevation. Building size, structural integrity, and type of foundation must be considered. Different types of elevation appropriate depending on the structure. A Miami house being elevated (top) and post-elevation (bottom) Source: FEMA, Above the Flood, 2000

16. Pilot program funded under Disaster Declarations 1603 and 1607 (Hurricanes Katrina and Rita) If acquisition and elevation are not feasible then a structure may be demolished and reconstructed at the same location.

17. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: Hardening/Retrofitting Critical Facilities Potential projects for civic buildings, health care facilities, utilities, police stations, fire stations, EOCs, jails, schools: Shutters/ impact resistant glass in windows Strengthen doors Hurricane straps/ clips to strengthen roof Bolt walls to foundation Bury utility lines underground Elevate the heating/ventilating/cooling equip.

18. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: Hardening/Retrofitting Critical Facilities Install shutters or impact resistant glass on windows Should I include pictures of hurricane panels? i.e. Lexar and Corrugated Metal?Should I include pictures of hurricane panels? i.e. Lexar and Corrugated Metal?

19. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: Hardening/Retrofitting Critical Facilities Strengthen the doors.

20. Install hurricane straps and clips to strengthen roof.

21. Bolt walls to foundation.

22. Relocate utility lines underground.

23. Elevate the heating, ventilating and cooling (HVAC) equipment, such as furnace and hot water heater.

24. Potential Projects for pump stations, water control facilities, water treatment and delivery systems, power generation facilities, sewage collection and treatment facilities: Install backflow valves Elevate the generators and pumps Anchor fuel tanks Eliminate infiltration problems with underground utility systems I don�t have pictures for these.I don�t have pictures for these.

25. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: Drainage Improvements Creating detention/ retention ponds and reservoirs Building floodwalls and diversions Constructing storm sewers and increasing culvert capacity Maintenance is not an eligible project Detention Pond

26. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: Wet Floodproofing Modifying uninhabited portions of a structure to allow water in without significant damage Water-resistant materials Limited use: not practical for structures with living space at ground level, and does not mitigate high velocity floods Elevated Appliances source: www.louisianafloods.org

27. Structure made watertight below vulnerable areas Walls sealed and openings waterproofed Useful vs. brief floods, <3 ft deep Ineffective vs. fast waters

28. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: Community Shelters A structure built to withstand extreme winds and flying debris from tornadoes, hurricanes, and other storms that is accessible to the public. Guidelines can be found in FEMA 361. The shelter cannot be used for anything else.

29. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: Safe Rooms Built onsite or manufactured. In new or existing homes. Need adequate ventilation. Anchored to the foundation and structurally isolated from the main structure. First floor, basement, or outside. See FEMA Publication 320

30. Projects that are eligible for funding can include new, unproven mitigation techniques and technologies where benefits are not proven or not clearly measurable, such as: Generators; or Disaster warning equipment and systems. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: 5% Initiative Mitigation Projects

31. Hazard Mitigation Plan: A plan to reduce a community�s risk and exposure to disasters � which is different from an � Emergency Operations Plan (EOP): A plan to guide a community�s response to an emergency or disaster Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: What is a �Hazard Mitigation Plan�?

32. A Hazard Mitigation Plan is typically written before hazard events occur (pre-disaster) Hazard mitigation projects can be implemented either before or after a disaster (pre-disaster or post-disaster). Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: What is a �Hazard Mitigation Plan�?

33. There is a lot of jargon that is used to describe the planning process. This graphic shows the process recommended by FEMA. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: How is the Plan Developed?

34. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: How is the Plan Developed?

35. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: How is the Plan Developed?

36. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: How is the Plan Developed?

37. Hazard Mitigation Planning Overview: How is the Plan Developed?

38. It all boils down to two basic questions: What hazards present the greatest risk to the County and its citizens? What are the most effective ways to reduce those risks?

46. The risk of flood is examined in several ways including: Exposure to predictable flood areas per FEMA FIRM maps

47. Repetitive loss properties per records of FEMA�s National Flood Insurance Program.

48. Other natural hazards, like winter storms, are assessed in terms of exposure to events of predictable magnitudes

49. This approach is also used for earthquakes�

50. �and high winds

51. The risk of a manmade hazard like dam failure is assessed in terms of exposure of people and property

52. The risk of a technological hazard like hazmat releases is assessed in terms of exposure from fixed sites and transportation routes
