3 CHAPTER THREE Natural Hazard Mitigation Strategy Overall Community Mitigation Strategy As a coastal community, the planning region places an emphasis on damage as a result of coastal storms and flooding. With that in mind, many of the goals and objectives focus on minimizing the area's vulnerabilities through education, prevention, reaction, and planning. The Goals and Objectives in this Chapter are followed by a series of Action Steps. These Steps have been evaluated using the STAPLEE criteria method and local expertise and concerns. Each objective has been given a rating of Priority - High, Medium, or Low priority based on these considerations.' The responsible entity is also identified as has the planning duration. These strategies will also be incorporated into the goals and objectives addressing other important hazards including wildfires and extreme seasonal temperatures. National Mitigation Strategy and Goal FEMA has developed ten fundamental principles for the nation's mitigation strategy:. Risk reduction measures must ensure long-term economic success for the community as a whole, rather than short-term benefits for special interests.. Risk reduction measures for one natural hazard must be compatible with risk reduction measures for other natural hazards.. Risk reduction measures must be evaluated to achieve the best mix for a given location.. Risk reduction measures for natural hazards must be compatible with risk reduction measures for technological hazards and vice versa. All mitigation is local. Emphasizing proactive mitigation before emergency response can reduce disaster costs and the impacts of natural hazards. Both pre-disaster (preventive) and postdisaster (corrective) mitigation is needed. Hazard identification and risk assessment are the cornerstones of mitigation. Building new federal-state-local partnerships and public-private partnerships is the most effective means of implementing measures to reduce the impacts of natural hazards. Those who knowingly choose to assume greater risk must accept responsibility for that choice. Risk reduction measures for natural hazards must be compatible with the protection of natural and cultural resources. FEMA's goal is to - ' STAPLEE is an acronym for evaluation categories entitled: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental. The ratings are based on the criteria described in Table 2-1 of FEMA's State and Local Mitigation how-to guide: Development the Mitigation Plan located in Appendix C. 155
4 . Substantially increase public awareness of natural hazard risk so that the public demands safer communities in which to live and work. Significantly reduce the risk of loss of life, injuries, economic costs, and destruction of natural and cultural resources that result from natural hazards 156
5 Coastal Storms, Hurricanes, Floods, Tornadoes, Hailstorms, ThunderstormS 2. Community Mitigation Goals In addressing natural hazards in the planning region, a number of objectives appear applicable to nearly all the hazards mentioned. In sum, the region will develop methods of educating the public on all important hazards, including how to prepare for them and react to them. In addition, both private citizens and commercial business owners are encouraged to adopt mitigation plans specific to their own needs that address hazards inherent to this region. Finally, clear and open lines of communication wherein information can be given to and received from the public is a necessary step in effective hazard mitigation. Identification and Analysis of Range of Mitigation Options Structural and non-structural mitigation - Mitigation actions in this plan will be nonstructural in nature. Any structural or construction actions taken may be the result of interpretations of strategies outlined herein. Existing policies, regulations, ordinances and land use - Local governments involved in this planning process have adopted up to date policies, regulations, ordinances and land uses and therefore it is not at issue in the mitigation actions of this plan. However, the plan does acknowledge the need for the creation of new and/or improved outreach programs. Community values, historic & special considerations - There are no mitigation actions that specifically target community values, historic or special considerations as many of the strategies would apply to these resources. 2 These hazards have been combined as they produce similar destructive forces and produce similar types of damage. 157
6 Mitigation Goal #1 Minimize losses to existing and future structures, especially critical facilities, from coastal storms, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, and thunderstorms.

29 CHAPTER FOUR Plan Integration and Maintenance Chapter 4 Section Authority, Responsibility and Implementation Reporting Multi-Jurisdictional Strategy And Considerations Plan Update And Maintenance Evaluation Methods and Timeframe Prioritization Conclusion Updates and Evaluations to Section Changed Glynn County seal Added major partners and their seals Prior system did not work due to a lack of commitment and manpower Identified change in EMA status as an independent entity The participating entities work well together but have not had a major event to test the resiliency to recover With the independent status of the EMA and general improved staffing levels this plan has an improved likelihood of being implemented. The method used to update the plan utilizing the active participants of the 2010 plan update worked well. All entities committed staff that had good attendance at the meetings. The committee recognized that there was a noticeable gap between activity of the prior report and the current update and committed to have quarterly meetings at the LEPC to discuss issues. The proposed evaluation method will work if implemented. It was concluded that there was no implementation push by the entities but that administrative changes in the EMA structure should enable this to be improved. Added this section 181
