What percentage of this amount would you be willing to spend on hazard mitigation? Enter this amount in the space provided entitled Annual Hazard Mitigation Budget. This represents the annual amount of resources you should allocate to hazard prevention and mitigation.

Establishing a spending amount is an important step in the Planning Process. Also note that it is likely that this budgeted amount will vary from year to year since steps taken in one year have a lasting impact on prevention and mitigation.

FROM

Small business means BIG business to America’s economy.

There is no community immune from potential disasters.

Hazard mitigation is a good investment.

LOUISIANA PREPARED MEANS LOUISIANA RESILIENT.

Elevation is a reliable method of mitigating damage

from floods. It works when nobody is home and when

there’s no time to use other measures. Elevation

can help make your home safer and stronger against

many natural disasters, such as hurricanes, coastal

erosion, subsidence, storm surges, and levee or dam

failures. It can even help save you money on your

flood insurance! (Source: FEMA fact sheet, “Designing for Flood Levels Above the BFE”)

elevatehome!

• If local building codes allow, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

recommends elevating two to three feet above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE), as it

offers maximum protection.

• Elevating above your local BFE offers better protection because BFEs are established at

a flood level that has a one-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given

year, also known as the 100-year flood or base flood.

• Floods more severe and less frequent than the one-percent flood can occur in any year.

• The relationship between the BFE and a structure’s elevation determines the flood

insurance premium – after you visit your local building code office, check with your

insurance company to find out how to save money on your premiums. (Source: FEMA fact sheet, “Designing for Flood Levels Above the BFE”)

This public document is published by the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP), State of Louisiana, at a total cost of $XXXXX. SPELL OUT NUMBER (XXXX) copies were printed for the purpose of public information and education. This material was printed in accordance with standards for printing by the State Agencies established in R.S. 43.31. Printing of this material was purchased in accordance with the provisions of Title 43 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes. This document was prepared under a grant from the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). No State dollars were used for this document.

ASPHALT SHINGLESPut two nails at each tab-cut, for a total of six nails instead of four. Never use staples for installing roof shingles.

DECKINGIf the decking is exposed, using eight or 10 penny nails spaced four to six inches at the

seams will help strengthen it.

SLOPEBuilt-up roofing of felt and asphalt is used on flat or low-sloped roofs below a 3/12 pitch. When the roof has a low pitch, water will either pond or drain very slowly.

To prevent water from leaking into a structure, built-up roofing is used because it has no seams. On a residence, a built-up roof may consist of three alternate layers of felt and hot asphalt placed over solid roof decking. The decking is usually plywood.

UNDERLAYMENTTape seams in the roof deck using a modified bitumen tape (not duct tape). Use a synthetic underlayment. Overlap the underlayment four - six inches, or more in very high-wind areas.

FASTENERSHot-dipped galvanized nails will last longer in coastal conditions. Electroplated galvanized products have a shorter life.

FLASHING/DRIP EDGEThere are four main types of flashing: Copper, aluminum, steel and vinyl.

Copper flashing is often seen as the best choice because it is the strongest and most durable. Steel flashing is more durable than copper and aluminum and can add support. Aluminum flashing is inexpensive and lighter than steel and copper. Vinyl flashing is lighter than aluminum and comes in a variety of colors. Both aluminum and vinyl flashing need to be replaced every 10 years or so.

Your roof catches the brunt of wind and wind-driven rain. Your ideal roof

is strong, keeps water out and stays on the house, even in a storm with

high wind speeds, such as a hurricane.

Three vital aspects of your roof:

• The covering that keeps your house dry (shingles, metal, tile or built-up).

• All the structure (sheathing and framing) that supports the covering and maintains the shape of the roof.

• The attachments between the roof structure and the walls below.

Preventing wind damage to your roof involves strengthening areas where

things could come apart. The attachments between your walls, roof and

foundation must be strong and secure.

protectyour Protecting the openings of your home is an important

part of hazard mitigation. During a hurricane, homes

may be damaged or destroyed by high winds and

windblown debris that can break windows and doors,

allowing high winds inside the home. In extreme storms,

the force of the wind alone can cause weak places in

your home to fail.

Constructing a coastal home requires special

attention to support materials. A home’s foundation

may be suitably protected against high-storm winds

while lacking the vital strength needed to keep its

roof secured. Improving and reinforcing connections

throughout a structure prevents the possibility of

further damage from windborne roof debris.
