Executive Summary
<br /> Table ES-3. Ob'ectives for 2017 Hazard Miti•ation Plan
<br /> Applicable
<br /> NumberI Ob'ective Goals
<br /> 1 Develop and provide updated information to improve the understanding of the locations,potential impacts,and 3,5,7
<br /> linkages among threats,hazards,vulnerability,and measures needed to protect life safety health,property and
<br /> the environment.
<br /> 2 Use local general plan,zoning,and subdivision requirements to help establish resilient and sustainable 1,3,4,5,7,
<br /> communities. 8
<br /> 3 Improve systems that provide warning and emergency communications. 2,3
<br /> 4 Encourage the retrofit of vulnerable structures in the planning area. 5,6
<br /> 5 Consider programs that incentivize risk reduction. 3,4,5
<br /> 6 Reduce repetitive property losses due to all hazards by updating land use,design,and construction policies. 3,4,5,6
<br /> 7 Continually build linkages and promote dialog about emergency management within the public and private 2,3,4
<br /> sectors.
<br /> 8 Incorporate risk reduction considerations in new and updated infrastructure and development plans to reduce 4,5,6
<br /> the impacts of natural hazards.
<br /> 9 Inform the public,including underrepresented community groups,on the risk of exposure to natural hazards and 3,4,5
<br /> ways to increase the public's capability to prepare for,respond to,recover from,and mitigate the impacts of
<br /> these events.
<br /> 10 Identify projects that simultaneously reduce risk while increasing planning area resilience and sustainability. 5,6,7
<br /> 11 Where feasible and cost-effective,research,develop,and promote adoption of building and development laws, 1.4.8
<br /> regulations,and ordinances exceeding the minimum levels needed for life safety.
<br /> 12 Encourage hazard mitigation measures that promote and enhance natural processes,minimize adverse 3,5,8
<br /> impacts on the ecosystem,and promote social equity.
<br /> Table ES-4. Plannin•-Area-Wide Hazard Miti•ation Actions
<br /> Action Number and Description Priority
<br /> Action AW-1—Continue to maintain a planning area-wide hazard mitigation website that will store the hazard mitigation plan High
<br /> and provide the public an opportunity to monitor plan implementation progress.Each planning partner can support this action by
<br /> including an action in its own action plan of creating a link to the planning-area-wide hazard mitigation website.
<br /> Action AW-2—Leverage public outreach partnering capabilities in the planning area(such as Community Emergency High
<br /> Response Teams)to promote a uniform and consistent message on the importance of proactive hazard mitigation.
<br /> Action AW-3—Coordinate mitigation planning and project efforts in the planning area to leverage all resources available to the High
<br /> planning partnership.
<br /> Action AW-4—Where appropriate,support retrofitting,purchase,or relocation of structures in hazard-prone areas to protect Medium
<br /> the structures from future damage,with repetitive loss and severe repetitive loss properties as a priority.Seek opportunities to
<br /> leverage partnerships in the planning area in these pursuits.
<br /> Action AW-5—Continue to update hazard mapping with best available data and science as it evolves,within the capabilities of High
<br /> the partnership.Support FEMA's RiskMAP initiative.
<br /> Action AW-6—To the extent possible based on available resources,provide coordination and technical assistance in applying High
<br /> for grant funding.
<br /> Action AW-7—Maintain a steering committee as a working body over time to monitor progress of the hazard mitigation plan, High
<br /> provide technical assistance to planning partners,manage data,and oversee the update of the plan according to schedule.This
<br /> body will continue to operate under the ground rules established at its inception.
<br /> Action AW-8—All planning partners will collaborate and share information to support the development of debris management High
<br /> plans for the planning area.While each planning partner will be responsible for the development of their own plans,they will
<br /> attempt to standardize the content and format based on a regional template.
