1 MUNICIPAL LAND USE STRATEGIES for Improving Flood Resilience Strategy for a Flood Resistant Southern Tier Central Region (LWRP project) This presentation was prepared by Southern Tier Central Regional Planning and Development Board for the New York State Department of State with funds provided under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund.
2
3 Municipal Land Use Strategies Planning Countywide hazard mitigation plans Comprehensive planning Emergency action plan Recovery planning Build back safer and stronger Other local plans and programs
4 Municipal Land Use Strategies Land Use Local Law for Flood Damage Prevention Zoning Site Plan Review Subdivision of Land Waterbodies and buffers Runoff from the watershed Application submittal requirements State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR)
5 Next Steps toward a Flood Resilient Future Local capacity for managing flood risks Assessing flood risks Planning Local land use regulations Local government operations Source: Global Change Information System, updated from Karl et al., 2009
6 Local Capacity for Managing Flood Risks 1. Enhance municipal capacity for flood risk management through training and technical assistance. 2. Conduct public outreach to promote voluntary flood risk management actions. 3. Provide technical support to help residents, businesses, and community organizations improve flood resilience.
7 Assessing Flood Risks 4. Develop updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps that are accepted by communities as accurately representing flood hazards. a) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) b) Community acceptance of updated FIRMS could hinge on the resolution of levee mapping issues.
8 Assessing Flood Risks (cont.) 5. Map riverine erosion hazards to delineate areas where active streams may move and erode streambanks. 6. Delineate dam failure inundation zones. 7. Develop flood inundation maps that are available online.
9 Planning 8. Incorporate municipal land use measures into countywide Hazard Mitigation Plans. 9. Provide planning assistance to municipalities developing new and updated comprehensive plans to incorporate increased consideration of flood hazards.
10 Planning (cont.) 10.Promote multi-objective planning by providing technical support for improved integration of flood hazards into community plans for economic development, infrastructure, and other purposes.
11 Planning (cont.) 11.Verify that each municipality has an Emergency Action Plan with updated contacts and other information. Provide technical assistance as needed to develop, enhance, or update plans. 12.Develop a post-disaster handbook to facilitate education, recovery, and recovery planning.
12 Local Land Use Regulations 13.Provide support for municipal enforcement and updating of local floodplain management regulations. 14.Provide planning assistance to improve flood safety and green infrastructure provisions in local land use regulations. 15.Manage development in riverine erosion hazard areas. 16.Manage development in dam failure inundation zones.
13 Local Government Operations 17.Improve flood resilience of roads and replumb of road drainage systems. 18.Improve flood resilience of bridges and culverts. 19.Provide support for increased participation in the Community Rating System (CRS). 20.Enhance flood warning capabilities.
14 Local Government Operations (cont.) 21.Support implementation of mitigation recommendations in county Hazard Mitigation Plans. Other Recommendations?
