Disaster Mitigation Plan Update The Pre Disaster Mitigation - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Mountainland Pre- Disaster Mitigation Plan Update

The Pre Disaster Mitigation Program

• The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program

provides funds to States, Territories, Federally- recognized Indian tribal governments, and communities for hazard mitigation planning and the implementation of mitigation projects prior to a disaster event. Funding these plans and projects reduces overall risks to the population and structures, while also reducing reliance on funding from actual disaster declarations.

Purpose

– Make each participating jurisdiction eligible to apply for FEMA PDM grants to conduct mitigation projects. – Each participating jurisdiction will also be eligible some for additional post disaster funding.

Planning Process

• Establish a Planning Team
• Risk Assessment
• Mitigation Strategies
• Plan Adoption

Risk Assessment Process

• 1. Identify Hazards
• 2. Profile
• 3. Regional Inventory
• 4. Estimate Losses

Risk Assessment

• 1. Identify Hazards
• Flood/Dam Failure
• Wildland Fire
• Landslide/Steep Slopes
• Earthquake
• Drought
• Severe Weather
• Infestation

Risk Assessment

• 1. Identify
• 2. Profile
• Location
• Extent (magnitude)
• History (past events)
• Probability
• Events / Years = Probability

Hazard Profile (Earthquake)

Frequency Low -Events above 3.0 on the Richter scale are rare. Minor events (below 3.0) occur every month. Severity High (up to 7.0) Location Multiple faults throughout the county with the primary Wasatch Fault along the mountain benches. Seasonal Pattern None Duration 1 to 6 minutes excluding aftershocks. Speed of Onset Seconds Probability of Future Occurrences Low- .13 (events above 3.0)

Recorded Earthquakes magnitude 3.0 or greater since 1950: Utah County

Risk Assessment

1. Identify 2. Profile 3. Regional Inventory

• Population (Current and Future)
• General Building Stock (Assessor's Data)

Building Occupancy (Residential, Commercial, etc) Replacement Cost (How much it will cost to replace it)

• Critical Facilities (fire/police, city halls, hospitals, schools,

roads)

Risk Assessment

• 1. Identify
• 2. Profile
• 3. Inventory
• 4. Estimate Losses
• HAZUS – Earthquake, Flood
• GIS Analysis – Wildfire, Landslides, Dam Failure
• Historical Analysis – Severe Weather, Drought,

Infestation

Lost Estimate Analysis

• Building Inventory (HAZUS, Building Permits, Assessors' Data)
• Critical Facilities (Police, Fire, Hospital, & Schools)
• Critical Lifelines (Roads & Bridges)
• Earthquake
• Flood
• Landslide
• Wildland Fire
• Dam Failure

Mitigation

Requirement: Each participating jurisdiction must have at least two mitigation actions for each hazard present within its boundaries.

• Protects current residents and structures.
• Protects future residents and structures.

Mitigation

Protecting Current Residents and Structures Hazard Action Priority Timeline Estimated Cost Potential Funding Sources Flooding/Dam Failure Promote NFIP participation. High Ongoing Minimal Local Cash, Grants Earthquake Inventory current critical facilities for seismic standards. High 3 years TBD Local Cash, Grants Wildfire Educate homeowners on FIREWISE practices. High Ongoing Minimal Local Cash, Grants Landslide Public education on and correct watering practices and retaining measures in susceptible areas. Medium 1 year TBD Local Cash, Grants Regional Hazards Drought Promote water conservation programs "Slow the Flow". Medium Ongoing Minimal Local cash, Grants, UDWR, CUWCU Severe Weather Public preparedness campaign. Medium Ongoing Minimal Local Cash, Grants Infestation Public education on eradication programs. Medium Ongoing Minimal Local Cash, Grants, UDAF Protecting Future Residents and Structures Hazard Action Priority Timeline Estimated Cost Potential Funding Sources Flooding/Dam Failure Update Flood and Inundation mapping and incorporate them into general plans and ordinances. High 2 years TBD Local Cash, Grants Earthquake Promote earthquake awareness and preparation. High 1 year Minimal Local Cash, Grants Wildfire Incorporate FIREWISE landscaping requirements into local ordinances within areas at risk. High 1 year Minimal Local Cash, Grants Landslide Coordinate and update landslide mapping within the area with UGS and USGS. High 3 years Minimal Local Cash, Grants Regional Hazards Drought Consider the enactment of water wise landscaping ordinances. High 1 year Minimal Local Cash, Grants Severe Weather Increase the number of weather stations. Medium 5 years TBD Grants, FEMA, NOAA, UDOT Infestation Support invasive species protection programs. Medium Ongoing Minimal Local Cash, Grants, UDAF

Mitigation

• A project does not need to be listed in the plan to be

eligible to apply for a grant. If you do eventually want to pursue a grant, we would amend the plan to list that particular project in order to strengthen your application.

• Drought, Severe Weather, and Infestation are

considered regional hazards therefore jurisdictions do not need to have individual strategies for each.

Adoption

• Following FEMA approval, each

jurisdiction must adopt the plan by resolution in order to be eligible. –A sample resolution will be distributed with the plan.
