1 HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING Oswego County HMP Update Working Group Kickoff Meeting September 27, 2017 Agenda Welcoming Remarks Oswego County Emergency Management DHSES FEMA Introduce Executive Committee Hazard mitigation planning introduction PowerPoint Presentation Point of Contact Form Q&A Adjourn 1

2 Phases of Emergency Management 4 Phases: 1. Preparedness 2. Response 3. Recovery 4. Mitigation Preparedness: Activities, programs and systems developed and implemented prior to disasters or emergencies Response: Activities designed to address the immediate and short-term effects of disasters or emergencies Recovery: Activities and programs designed to return conditions to a level that is acceptable to the community not necessarily pre-disaster condition; preferably better to allow for enhanced resiliency Mitigation: Long-term actions taken to eliminate or reduce the effects of future disasters or emergencies, either prior to or after such events Structural (levees, detention ponds, bank stabilization, etc.) Non-structural (regulatory, programmatic, etc.) 2

3 Hazard Mitigation Disaster Mitigation Act 2000 DMA 2000 New guidelines for State multi-hazard mitigation planning New requirements for local multi-hazard mitigation planning Basis for HMGP project funding Emphasis on Multi-Hazard, Multi-Jurisdiction Plans Planning steps outlined in 44 CFR Part Hazard Mitigation Benefits Save lives Protect property Limit economic loss impact Limit social and psychological impact Reduce disaster response and recovery costs 3

4 What s in a Hazard Mitigation Plan? County information - Planning Process Risk Assessment Hazard Profiles Identifying hazards Asset identification Vulnerability Assessment Mitigation Action Development Plan Adoption Implementation, Monitoring, Maintenance Planning Process Planning Process Teamwork and Inclusiveness Local government agencies/organizations Elected officials Neighboring communities Private sector (including utilities) Academia State and Federal agencies General public Must be Documented 4

5 Jurisdictions Oswego County Working Groups Approach County split into 3 working groups Northern, Central, Southern Three major benefits: Allowed for centrally located meeting locations Allowed for municipalities facing similar hazards to collaborate Allowed for communities that share resources to work together 30 of 34 jurisdictions participated in the 2013 HMP current goal: 100% participation 5

6 Risk Assessment Risk Assessment Identify hazards: focus on natural hazards that could affect the community Profile hazards: identify those that pose the greatest threat Asset Identification Identify critical infrastructure within the community Note locations County Risk Assessment HIRA-NY Twelve natural hazards: Severe storm Ice storm Earthquake Tornado Flood Wildfire Winter storm (severe) Ice jam Coastal storm Extreme temperatures Landslide Drought (Dennis Nett, Syracuse.com 2017) (WSYR-TV, 2017) 6

7 County Risk Assessment HIRA-NY Seven technological & humancaused hazards: Utility failure HAZMAT (in transit) Terrorism Dam failure Fire Epidemic HAZMAT (fixed site) (Jon Vermilye, Lakeshore Images, 2012) All other hazards ranked as Low (Mike Greenlar, The Post-Standard, 2009) Vulnerability Assessment Vulnerability Assessment Inventory assets at risk to profiled hazards Residential, Commercial, Critical Facilities, Infrastructure, Etc. Estimate potential number of structures Estimate potential losses in dollars Estimate potential population to be affected Analyze development trends 7

8 Mitigation Action Development Develop mitigation goals and objectives Identify and prioritize mitigation actions Prevention Property Protection Structural Projects Natural Resource Protection Emergency Services Public Education and Awareness Prepare an implementation strategy/action plan Identify actions, estimated costs, potential funding sources, lead and supporting agencies, implementation timeframes Why participate? Hazard example Lake Ontario flooding- May 2017 (OswegoCounty.com, 2017) Millions of dollars in damages Presidential Disaster Declaration requested through FEMA Related concerns- shoreline erosion, well contamination, mold & dust, disease Hazard response Emergency mitigation (shoreline stabilization, barriers) Lake Ontario Rapid Response Team Homeowner Recovery Plan ($15 million in funding available to homeowners) Flood Hotline FEMA non-emergency grant eligibility Certain grants require participation in a hazard mitigation plan Fund mitigation projects to lessen future damages (OswegoCounty.com, 2017) 8

9 The Plan must... Include a mitigation strategy that: 1) analyzes actions and/or projects that the jurisdiction considered to reduce the impacts of hazards identified in the risk assessment; 2) identifies the actions and/or projects that the jurisdiction intends to implement. Each jurisdiction must have specific mitigation actions unique to them. A status review of previously included mitigation actions will be completed. The action plan must reduce risk to existing buildings and infrastructure and limit risk to new development. Plan Adoption, Implementation, Monitoring and Maintenance Each participating municipality to formally adopt plan, e.g., by Board Resolution Plan must be submitted to FEMA via NYS DHSES for approval Implement plan and monitor progress Maintain plan Update and resubmit every 5 years 9

10 Plan Review and Approval Guiding Principles 1. Focus on Mitigation Strategies 2. Review for Intent, as well as Compliance 3. Process is as important as the Plan itself 4. This is the Community s Plan 5. Foster Relationships Future Steps Review, confirm, modify language included in 2013 HMP related to specific hazards Information on losses and damages important Complete new risk assessment Add additional hazards, as needed Jurisdiction data Check capability assessments Modify critical inventory lists and asset assessment Vulnerability analysis updates Mitigation action identification Current status of old, add new Prioritize - Benefit/Cost analysis 10
