Definitions Natural vs. Man-made Hazards Natural Hazards versus Man-made (or Human- caused) Hazards DMA 2000 specifically refers to natural hazards DMA 2000 specifically refers to natural hazards Certain man-made hazards can be treated like natural hazards (e.g., dam or levee failure, accidental hazardous materials releases) Certain man-made hazards can be treated like natural hazards (e.g., dam or levee failure, accidental hazardous materials releases) Intentional acts (e.g., cyber disruption, IEDs, etc.) require fundamentally different methods to assess risk Intentional acts (e.g., cyber disruption, IEDs, etc.) require fundamentally different methods to assess risk 9

Definitions Other Hazard Distinctions Geospecific versus Non-geospecific Hazards Geospecific hazards like dam failures and floods occur in predictable locations Geospecific hazards like dam failures and floods occur in predictable locations Non-geospecific hazards like earthquakes, high wind events, and winter storms can cause building failures across broad regions but have predictable magnitudes Non-geospecific hazards like earthquakes, high wind events, and winter storms can cause building failures across broad regions but have predictable magnitudes 10

Definitions Other Hazard Distinctions Mitigation versus Response & Recovery Hazards like floods can potentially be mitigated Hazards like floods can potentially be mitigated Hazards like aircraft crashes can be prepared for but generally not mitigated Hazards like aircraft crashes can be prepared for but generally not mitigated 11

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment 13

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements DMA 2000 Chronology Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) Public Law 106-930, signed October 10, 2000, amended the Stafford Act of 1988 (i.e., statutory authority for most Federal disaster response activities, especially for FEMA) Public Law 106-930, signed October 10, 2000, amended the Stafford Act of 1988 (i.e., statutory authority for most Federal disaster response activities, especially for FEMA) Section 322 included requirement for hazard mitigation planning at state and local levels Section 322 included requirement for hazard mitigation planning at state and local levels FEMA produced Interim Final Rule (IFR) in 2002 including 201.6 identifying required HMP content 14

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements DMA 2000 Overview HMPs must be prepared in a manner consistent with DMA 2000 requirements (per IFR 201.6) prepared in a manner consistent with DMA 2000 requirements (per IFR 201.6) adopted by each individual jurisdiction adopted by each individual jurisdiction approved by SHMOs and FEMA Regions approved by SHMOs and FEMA Regions to preserve eligibility for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) federal grants HMPs must be updated every five years (local and multijurisdictional) and again adopted and approved 15

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements IFR HIRA Requirements Interim Final Rule Requirement 201.6(c) Plan content: The plan shall include the following: (2)A risk assessment that provides the factual basis for activities proposed in the strategy to reduce losses from identified hazards. Local risk assessments must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards. 16

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements IFR HIRA Requirements IFR Requirement 201.6(c)(2) (contd): The risk assessment shall include: (i)A description of the type, location, and extent of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. The plan shall include information on previous occurrences of hazard events and on the probability of future hazard events. 17

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements IFR HIRA Requirements IFR Requirement 201.6(c)(2) (contd): The risk assessment shall include: (ii)A description of the jurisdiction's vulnerability to the hazards described in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section. This description shall include an overall summary of each hazard and its impact on the community. All plans approved after October 1, 2008 must address NFIP insured structures that have been repetitively damaged by floods. 18

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements IFR HIRA Requirements IFR Requirement 201.6(c)(2)(ii) (contd): The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of: (A)The types and numbers of existing and future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the identified hazard areas; (B)An estimate of the potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures identified in paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(A) of this section and a description of the methodology used to prepare the estimate; 19

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements IFR HIRA Requirements IFR Requirement 201.6(c)(2)(ii) (contd): The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of: (C)Providing a general description of land uses and development trends within the community so that mitigation options can be considered in future land use decisions. 20

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements IFR HIRA Requirements IFR Requirement 201.6(c)(2) (contd): The risk assessment shall include: (iii)For multi-jurisdictional plans, the risk assessment section must assess each jurisdiction's risks where they vary from the risks facing the entire planning area. 21

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements IFR HIRA Requirements The IFR intentionally uses the words shall and should for specific elements. Where results are dependent on data that may or may not readily exist, the IFR purposefully uses the word should to acknowledge the potential difficulty in meeting these quantitative requirements. 22

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements Other Specific Requirements FEMA Region II Conditions of Approval reiterates basic requirements such as include and use the most current and readily available data but also emphasizes the need to clearly relate the risks from natural hazards to each jurisdiction. 23

DMA 2000 HIRA Requirements Expectations Original expectations for HIRAs in HMP and HMP updates assumed available data for all hazards (i.e., besides flooding) would be continuously improved through on-going plan maintenance. This expectation has not been met for a variety of good and bad reasons. How does a lack of detailed hazard data limit the effectiveness of HMPs? 24

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment 25

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Geospecific Hazards Six of the 12 NJ4 HMP natural hazards occur in predictable locations: Coastal Erosion and Sea Level Rise Dam Failure Levee Failure Flood Geologic Hazards (landslides, sinkholes) Wildfire 26

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Coastal Erosion and Sea Level Rise FEMA Risk MAP data used to show parcels and critical facilities potentially vulnerable to inundation if rising sea levels increase Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) by +1, +2, and +3 feet 27

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Dam & Levee Failure Inundation zones from NJDEP high hazard dam EAPs used to show vulnerable parcels and critical facilities USDA levee inventory locations used to identify vulnerable parcels and critical facilities 28

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Flood FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS) (*) used to show parcels and critical facilities within designated flood zones (*) Effective FIRMS used for assessment and Preliminary FIRMS was also included for coastal communities 29

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Wildfire USDA and NJ Fire Service data used to show parcels and critical facilities in areas with high fuel potential and close proximity to development 30

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Non-Geospecific Hazards The other six NJ4 HMP natural hazards occur across the entire region but can be assessed based on potential impacts: Drought Extreme Temperature Earthquake High Wind Severe Weather - Summer Severe Weather - Winter 31

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Drought & Extreme Temperature NJDEP data regarding percent of agricultural land use was used to determine relative risk to drought Extreme temperature assessment considered age and income distributions to acknowledge at-risk individuals 32

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Earthquake US Census data was used to identify population density and the age of building stock to indicate areas with potentially higher risk 33

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results High Wind US Census data and design wind speed zones (per the ASCE) were used to identify age of building stock and anticipated wind forces to indicate areas with potentially higher risk 34

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Severe Weather - Summer NJDEP data regarding percent of agricultural land use and US Census data on age of building stock were combined to identify areas with potentially higher relative risk from hail or lightning 35

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Severe Weather - Winter NJ State Climatologist historical snow depth data and US Census data on age of building stock were combined to identify areas with potentially higher relative risk of damage to structures from heavy snow loads 36

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Relative Risk Assessment The HIRA process for the twelve natural hazards resulted in an objective risk assessment with high, medium, low, or N/A designations Example shown is for Coastal Erosion and Sea Level Rise 37

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Relative Risk Assessment The Municipal Working Group Work Sessions included subjective risk assessment results based on the experience and expertise of the group Example shown is for Coastal Erosion and Sea Level Rise 38

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Relative Risk Assessment Objective 39 Subjective

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Relative Risk Assessment The objective results for all twelve natural hazards were also combined to provide one simple result regarding overall relative risk in the NJ4 HMP Region 40

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Critical Facility Hazard Exposure Critical facilities for each municipality were inventoried and mapped using GIS and manual processes Example shown is for Salem County municipal critical facility locations Note: See separate Workshop Session re: CF Hazard Exposure Assessment 41

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Critical Facility Hazard Exposure CF locations were compared with geospecific hazard zones for each jurisdiction. Results formed the basis for follow-up site and facility evaluations. What value could these inventories have beyond mitigation? 42

Data limitations are common in four main areas: Damage histories Data availability / changes Asset locations Asset attributes NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Data Limitations Overview 43

To produce detailed HIRA results with associated dollar value loss estimates, site and facility damage histories are needed including: Direct damages to assets Loss of service Cost of response, restoration, and recovery Other than NFIP flood insurance claims, this information is not usually acquired, compiled, or accessible NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Damage Histories 44

Information is not always available when plans are developed or updated. For example, Risk MAP results for increased inundation zones were only available for Cumberland and Salem counties. The same information for Camden and Gloucester Counties should be incorporated into HIRA when available from FEMA. Information used in the HIRA may change within a five-year update period. For example, sea level rise estimates can change as better information and predictive techniques are developed. NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Data Availability / Changes 45

For geospecific hazards, lack of building footprint data requires using less accurate parcel or census block data to determine relative risk within different hazard zones (floodplains, storm surge categories, wildfire fuel, etc.) Initial critical facilities data was inaccurate and did not include GPS (x,y) coordinates. As part of the NJ4 HMP HIRA, nearly 1,000 critical facilities were geocoded and then manually edited to position coordinates to exact locations. NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Asset Locations 46

Even when building footprint data is available there may be limited attribute data. The NJ4 HMP HIRA could be improved significantly with the following asset attribute data: Structure type Building replacement value Building contents value Age and condition of the structure Square footage First floor elevations (to compare with BFEs) Damage history NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Asset Attributes 47

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan 48

HIRA Uses Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment 49

NJ4 HMP HIRA Results Public Outreach and Education Mitigation Measure #1 refers to outreach and education including providing information about current hazards and risk to property owners For example, information about the potential for increased inundation would be useful for property owners to understand future risk implications 50

HIRA Uses Setting Priorities HMP monitoring, evaluation, and updates require periodically identifying and confirming priorities which can be based on HIRA information 51

HIRA Uses HMP Updates HIRA-related issues that would prompt / support HMP Updates include: Has a natural disaster occurred? Should the list of hazards be modified? Are there new hazard data sources or revisions to existing data? Has new development occurred that could be at risk? Has the status of repetitively flooded properties changed? 52

HIRA Uses Documenting Potential Benefits Most federal and state hazard mitigation grant programs require a comparison of potential benefits to costs Costs are the total of preparation and construction costs for a proposed mitigation measure Benefits are the potential losses avoided by implementing a mitigation measure. The determination of losses avoided is most easily accomplished by looking at what has already happened (damage histories). 53

HIRA Uses Documenting Losses Avoided For future reference and refinement of HIRA results, it is important to document losses avoided after a mitigation measure is in place Similar to potential benefits, documenting losses avoided is based on past histories of damages for the asset that has been mitigated Which (if any) of these uses meets your needs? 54
