Mitigation Goals & Objectives

Goals from the 2010 UNC Eastern Campuses Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan

A presentation by Wood. 9 UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

#1 Reduce the impact of natural hazards on campus #2 Develop a natural hazards mitigation plan that meets planning criteria outlined in 44 CFR, Part 201 #3 Develop a model PDM planning process for a multi-campus university system #4 Develop an innovative approach based on ASCE/Building Security Council national standards. #5 Provide a mechanism to obtain FEMA Mitigation Project Grant funding for facility improvements

Mitigation Goals & Objectives

Concepts to Consider

A presentation by Wood. 10 UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

• Prevent property damage
• Protect critical facilities
• Improve public awareness of risk and mitigation
• Build capacity to implement mitigation
• Develop funding sources to support mitigation
• Plan for resilient future development

• Mitigation Categories

– Prevention – Property Protection – Natural Resource Protection – Emergency Services – Structural Projects – Public Education & Outreach

Phase III – Develop Mitigation Plan

• Hazard Strategies

– Alter the hazard – Avert the hazard – Adapt to the hazard – Avoid the hazard

11 A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

A strong mitigation action plan contains a variety of strategies across multiple categories

Mitigation Ideas

• FEMA resource
• Provides example mitigation actions

for 16 natural hazards

• Actions are categorized into four

types: – Local Planning & Regulations – Structure & Infrastructure Projects – Natural Systems Protection – Education & Awareness Programs

12 A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

• Limit or regulate development in high-hazard areas:

– Prohibit capital improvements or critical facilities development in hazard areas – Protect hazard areas with conservation easements – Designate hazard areas and development restrictions in campus growth plans – Develop a post-disaster redevelopment plan and/or post-disaster recovery ordinance

• Create local funding mechanisms for mitigation
• Install backup generators for critical facilities
• Create a public education campaign

Mitigation Ideas – Multi-Hazard Actions

13 A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

• Develop a drought emergency plan with criteria for

drought-related actions

• Establish mandatory water conservation measures during

drought emergencies

• Install drought-tolerant landscaping such as xeriscaping

and/or permeable paving

Mitigation Ideas - Drought

14 A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

• Educate students and staff on

water saving measures

• Install low-flow fixtures to

reduce water usage

• Use land use / master planning to guide development

away from flood prone areas

• Participate in watershed-based planning initiatives to

address flood hazards with neighboring jurisdictions

• Limit allowable impervious surface
• Develop a Stormwater Master Plan

Mitigation Ideas - Flood

15 A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

• Conduct regular drainage system maintenance
• Install, re-route, or increase storm drainage system capacity
• Protect and preserve wetlands
• Get StormReady certified

Mitigation Ideas - Flood

16 A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

• Encourage structural bracing, shutters, laminated glass,

hail resistant roof coverings and sheathing

• Install lightning rods and grounding on communication

infrastructure and critical facilities

• Install surge protection on critical electronic equipment

Mitigation Ideas – Severe Weather

17 A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

• Encourage wind-resistant roof

shapes and architectural designs that limit potential for wind-borne debris

• Establish standards for tree

pruning around power lines

• Require wind-resistant building techniques such as

structural bracing, straps and clips, anchor bolts, etc.

• Encourage construction of safe rooms
• Designate storm shelter areas across campus

Mitigation Ideas – Tornado

18 A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

• Address mitigation during permitting of new development

through access, signage, fire hydrants, water availability, vegetation management, and special building construction standards

• Encourage the use of functional shutters on windows
• Implement a fuels management program
• Join the Firewise Program

Mitigation Ideas – Wildfire

19 A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

• Create defensible zones

around power lines, oil and gas lines, and other infrastructure systems

• Review existing critical

facility list

• Add/Remove facilities as

needed

• Rank each facility using the

provided scoring worksheet *If you complete your own critical facility ranking you may provide that instead for use in the plan

Critical Building Ranking

A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020 20

Critical Facility Scoring Worksheet

10 Questions; Total Possible Score of 42 Points

Reminders

22 A presentation by Wood. UNC Eastern Campuses DRU Plan Update Mtg. 2 August 20, 2020

Complete and return your Data Collection Guides ASAP We need this information from you in order to develop an accurate risk assessment and capability assessment

Next Steps

Schedule First Public Meeting – To be scheduled for month of September – Will be held via Zoom

• To protect the security of the call, participants must email to request an

invitation link

• We will provide you with language to advertise the meeting on your

campus websites/calendars/social media/etc.
