3 Identifying Hazards The Woodford County area is vulnerable to a wide variety of natural hazards that threaten life and property. These natural hazards include: Floods Earthquakes Severe Thunderstorms Tornadoes Severe Drought The Woodford County Hazard Mitigation Plan Development Team identified these Hazards based on the historical evidence gathered from the Kentucky State Climatology Center, the National Climatic Data Center, FEMA s Hazard Mapping website, and the Kentucky Geological Survey. The appendices contain maps utilized by the Woodford County HMPDT in identifying and profiling potential hazards for the Woodford County planning area. 2

4 Mitigation Strategy The Woodford County Hazard Mitigation Plan Development Team was initiated to develop a hazard mitigation plan for the county and its jurisdictions. Committee members include or represent the county judge-executive, mayors, Disaster and Emergency Service Managers, Floodplain Managers, Disaster Relief Coordinator, city and county fire and police departments, health department, city engineer, building inspector, public schools superintendent, Community Action, Senior Citizens, non-profit organizations, local business, and others. The committee looked at data regarding each individual hazard gathered and provided by staff of the Bluegrass Area Development District (BGADD). ADD staff also developed a risk assessment for each individual hazard. Utilizing the background hazard information and hazard historical data, the committee was requested to respond with overall goals and objectives relative to the hazard that are needed to reduce or eliminate the potential loss of life and/or property caused by said hazard. Once these goals/objectives were identified, the committee looked at specific measures aimed at fulfilling these goals and meeting stated objectives. Various methods were used to identify desirable hazard mitigation projects such as success stories, consultation with mitigation experts, and suggestions from ADD staff. Ultimately, objects put into the plan reflect the needs of the jurisdictions within the county as expressed. After inclusion of projects in the plan, review and approval of the overall plan will be required at the local, regional, and state levels in addition to review and acceptance by FEMA. Implementation of any mitigation projects will be dealt with when the necessity arises. Implementation of Mitigation Measures Prioritization will be based on Hazard Analysis Planning. Projects were prioritized this way based on a cost benefit review, environmental soundness, and technical feasibility. Implementation will be done through a contract with Will Lender and Associates. Federal, state and local funds and resources will be used for implementation. Implementation will be administered by Woodford County Fiscal Court. The time line for implementation is as shown below. This timeline shows the plan for Woodford County for the next five years as well as long-term planning for the next twenty years. Shore Acres: Elevation of houses and roadway in Shore Acres TIMELINE: 2005 Buck Run: Elevation of road leading to residents in Buck Run area. TIMELINE: 2005 Lower Clifton: Elevation of houses or raising of some units in Lower Clifton. TIMELINE: 2005 Clifton: Elevation of houses or raising of some units in Clifton. TIMELINE:

5 Spring Hill Court: Improvement of drainage (sinkhole unacceptable) TIMELINE: 2007 Brianwood (off Huntertown Road): Improvement of drainage and retention areas. TIMELINE: 2007 Lewis Walton Park: Improvement of drainage (sinkhole unacceptable) TIMELINE: 2008 Faywood Trailer Park: (John Dance property) Purchase of repetitive flooding area TIMELINE: 2009 Dredging of the Kentucky River TIMELINE: 2024 Big Spring Park: Floodwater drainage to eliminate flooding of the park. TIMELINE: 2015 South Main (Duell Drive): Improvement of storm sewers TIMELINE: 2010 Implementation efforts are based on project/action plans drafted by the BGADD derived from the input of subcommittees and the RHMPC. Plan Maintenance Procedures The hazard mitigation plan requires a plan maintenance process. The following points address how the mitigation plan will be updated and maintained when necessary. Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating the Plan In order to provide monitoring, evaluation, and updates to the mitigation plan every five years, it has been decided by the Woodford County Hazard Mitigation Development Team that Woodford County Fiscal Court will monitor the actions of the Hazard Mitigation Team and require an annual report Implementation Through Existing Programs Woodford County will incorporate the Hazard Mitigation projects into the county comprehensive plan currently used. This project most closely coincides with the planning efforts in this program, so it will be used to implement said project since the project is in line with the goals of the currently used program. Continued Public Involvement The Woodford County Fiscal court will charge Planning and Zoning, Emergency Management and the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) with review and input in the future planning. All agencies listed above will have membership on the Hazard Mitigation Committee to be formed in the future. The Committee will include public participation and public input will be encouraged by the committee. 4
