Many players were involved in the planning process of Cedar Hill’s Mitigation Plan. The members were selected for all functional areas that are applicable to this the City of Cedar Hill. The HMT is responsible for coordinating and providing assistance with the development, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the mitigation action plan. The process consisted of meetings to identify hazards, determine goals, and identify areas where mitigation actions are needed. The following departments held representation on the Hazard Mitigation Team (HMT) which was lead by the Emergency Management Coordinator (Hazard Mitigation Coordinator). Planning and Zoning Manager Cedar Hill Mayor Public Works Director City of Cedar Hill Chamber of Commerce Dallas American Red Cross Representative Neighborhood Services/ Main Street Coordinator Economic Development Director Cedar Hill Purchasing Manager City Engineer City Attorney Northwood University Representative Cedar Hill Finance Director Cedar Building Official City Health Officer Historical Preservation Representative Public Involvement Open meetings were held giving the public opportunity to comment on the Mitigation Action Plan. A public meeting was held May 8, 2007 at 6:00 pm in Cedar Hill Council Chambers. Cedar Hill feels that public involvement is necessary for the effective development of mitigation policy and procedures. The business community, non-profits, academia, and neighboring communities were invited to participate in the planning process through the public meeting announcements via the Dallas Morning News. A public meeting for community partners was held on June 5, 2007 at 1:00PM at the Dallas City Hall. (See Attachment A) The public was informed, educated and involved in the mitigation planning activities through the following methods: establishing a hazard mitigation team, posting of public meetings and were given the opportunity to participate and comment on the Hazard Mitigation Action Plan and its direction prior to its approval. While an opportunity to the public was provided during the planning process, there was no attendance from the Citizens, Non-Profits, Businesses, Academia, or Interested Parties. Citizens, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits were also invited to the Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee for an update on the DaLMS and an opportunity to comment following the plan on November 11, 2008 (See Attachment A) 2-2 Dallas County Chapter Two During November 12-14, 2008 an ad was posted in the Dallas Morning News (See Attachment A) inviting the public, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits to view and comment on the DaLMS on a website. While these opportunities were provided there were no comments or input provided. An additional opportunity for the public to comment on the plan will be held prior to formal plan adoption. Plan Incorporation The Cedar Hill’s Fire and Building Codes are reviewed by the City Building and Standards Commission. The fire code is enforced by the fire marshal. The fire marshal reviews plans, makes inspections and investigates fires. Cedar Hill’s Building Code Effectiveness Grading is 7.75 assigned to the City in June of 2002. The Fire and Building Codes were utilized during the mitigation planning process as a reference to what Cedar Hill is currently doing to mitigate the affects the identified natural hazards have on buildings. Through this process new measures can be identified in the City’s codes which can be taken to mitigate loss of property and life. The Fire and Building Codes also provided a foundation for Cedar Hill to assess natural hazard vulnerability and identify potential mitigation efforts in action items. In the early 1980’s the City of Cedar Hill adopted Floodplain Management Regulations as required for inclusion in the National Flood Insurance Program. The initial Flood Insurance Study that was conducted by FEMA was to improve current plan, completed on March 14, 1980 and was adopted by the City in April of 1988. The NFIP data was used during the mitigation planning process to assess flooding hazards and potential mitigation in the future. The City's Comprehensive Zoning Plan is used in the mitigation planning process. The Planning and Zoning Ordinance is enforced by city staff, Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The City of Cedar Hill has existing mitigation activities that can be incorporated in to the mitigation plan. The City of Cedar Hill Storm Drainage Master Plan was completed in February, 1999. Included in the scope of the Drainage Master Plan were Storm Water Runoff Calculations, and Drainage Design Manual Recommendations. The Comprehensive Zoning Plan provided data to direct the HMT in determining hazard mitigation goals and action items. The City's Development Services Department is responsible for drainage improvement and flood mitigation projects. In 1988 the City adopted floodplain management regulations as required for inclusion in the National Flood Insurance Program. Current Floodplain Maps were adopted in April of 1988. Section 7 of the City’s Code of Ordinance prohibits development in the floodway and /or floodplain. The City Capital Improvement Project Plan is used to prioritize drainage projects for inclusion in to the City's budget process. The Floodplain maps for Cedar Hill have been incorporated into the mitigation risk assessment and are included in Chapter 3. These maps assist the HMT in determining future mitigation needs in floodplains. The Capital Improvement Plan is used to prioritize drainage projects for inclusion in to the City’s budget process. Existing land use, ultimate land use and existing critical facilities within the watershed will be evaluated. This plan includes provisions for ensuring that new facilities are built to the most current codes, standards, and specifications; and avoid the extension of public facilities in hazards areas. The Capital Improvement Plan is reviewed annually. Every year, staff seeks input from citizens, boards and commissions, and homeowner’s associations for projects that may be included in the Capital Improvement Plan. In concurrence with budget approval each year, the City Council approves the Capital Improvement Program for a five year period. The Capitol Improvement Plan provided direction to the HMT that the City Council and Cedar Hill citizens have identified. The HMT used the Capitol Improvement Plan to develop projects which would coincide with the future city efforts and projected growth. The City of Cedar Hill was able to incorporate many of their existing plans in to the Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. These plans were reviewed during the mitigation planning process and used in the determination of hazards, goals, and action items. North Central Texas Council of Governments 2-3 Regional Mitigation Strategy 2.2 City of Coppell Planning Process This process has involved an in-depth review of planning and zoning and engineering plans that would positively impact hazardous mitigation within our city. We then reviewed our hazards and determined our threat from and the potential impact of them upon our city. The HMT will be an organization of flexible membership whose makeup and duties are dependent upon the particular mitigation activity under consideration. This flexibility allows the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator to tailor the group to meet the situation while ensuring the involvement of appropriate individuals from the community. The core group of the city of Coppell’s Hazard Mitigation Team comprises of the following city officials. Chief Building Official Director of Engineering Emergency Management Fire Marshal Director of Planning Assistant Director of Public Works Public Involvement The City of Coppell participated in the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy public meeting on June 5th, 2007 at 1:00 located at the Dallas City Hall. Coppell citizens, neighboring communities, businesses, agencies, academia, and non-profits as well as other interested parties were invited by the newspaper posting in the Dallas Morning News. (See Attachment A) While an opportunity to the public was provided during the planning process, there was no attendance from the Citizens, Non-Profits, Businesses, Academia, or Interested Parties. Citizens, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits were also invited to the Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee for an update on the DaLMS and an opportunity to comment following the plan on November 11, 2008 (See Attachment A) During November 12-14, 2008 an ad was posted in the Dallas Morning News (See Attachment A) inviting the public, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits to view and comment on the DaLMS on a website. While these opportunities were provided there were no comments or input provided. An additional opportunity for the public to comment on the plan will be held prior to formal plan adoption. Plan Incorporation Existing plans and studies that would impact pre-existing hazard mitigation efforts were reviewed by the Engineering Department to determine if they would negatively impact our hazard mitigation efforts. These plans included Building and Fire Codes, Capitol Improvement Plan, and Zoning Ordinances. These plans were utilized to determine mitigation objectives and to provide a collaborative approach in developing Action Items to address hazard vulnerabilities. The city of Coppell Engineering Department has done due diligence in the hazard mitigation for the city to the point that very few buildings, infrastructure and critical facilities are within a geographically defined hazard area. The city does not allow new development in the floodplain; however, any structures that existed prior to Coppell being initially mapped (pre-FIRM) could be 2-4 Dallas County Chapter Two in the floodplain. The city engineer, as floodplain administrator, completes a biannual report to FEMA concerning floodplain development. Currently there are 10 structures in a designated floodplain. Those structures are all pre-FIRM. The Engineering Department will ensure all plans, particularly Capitol Improvement Plans will continue to incorporate the city’s proactive approach to mitigating hazards before they become hazards by ensuring all projects meet or exceeds existing requirements of the city and the HAZMAP. North Central Texas Council of Governments 2-5 Regional Mitigation Strategy 2.3 City of Dallas Planning Process The City of Dallas Hazard Mitigation Action Plan developed along the following process, based on guidance from the State and FEMA. 1. Assess Community Support 2. Build the Planning Team 3. Organize Resources 4. Assess Risks and Capabilities 5. Develop a Mitigation Action Plan 6. Implement the Plan 7. Evaluate its Effectiveness 8. Revise as Needed from Lessons-Learned. The City of Dallas Hazard Mitigation Action Plan 2007 was prepared by the City of Dallas Office of Emergency Management with input from several city departments. The Hazard Mitigation Coordinator is Kenny Shaw, the Director of the Office of Emergency Management. Several of the key departments have direct responsibilities for mitigation actions, such as Water Utilities, Public Works, Transportation, and Street Services. These departments held representation on the Hazard Mitigation Team which consisted of: Name Title Department Caleb Bartley Emergency Management Specialist Office of Emergency Management Jerry Martin Sr. Emergency Management Specialist Office of Emergency Management Steve Parker Floodplain Manager Public Works and Transportation Dina Colarossi Grants Manager Intergovernmental Services Rocky Vaz Manager Intergovernmental Services Debra Carlin Assistant Chief Dallas Fire-Rescue Don Knight Assistant City Attorney City Attorney’s Office Elizabeth Fernandez Assistant Director Public Works and Transportation Dave Cook Chief Financial Officer Office of Financial Services Kenny Shaw Director Office of Emergency Management Kelly High Assistant Director Street Services Dave Garcia Flood Control Division Manager Street Services Caleb Bartley and Jerry Martin took the lead in drafting the City of Dallas Hazard Mitigation Action Plan 2007. The Hazard Mitigation Team provided frequent, substantive input throughout the planning process. They shared technical expertise and planning suggestions along with providing invaluable support in developing the list of action items and projects included herein. Other departments, such as Dallas Fire-Rescue and Equipment and Building Services, have duties which are affected by how well those mitigation efforts are implemented. The Public Information Office offered assistance not only in drafting the Plan but also in facilitating its release to the public. Lead by the Office of Emergency Management, this group participated in the planning process of the City of Dallas Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. Public Involvement Citizens of the City of Dallas and neighboring communities were invited to participate in the planning process and to comment on the draft plan. The public meeting was publicized through the Dallas Morning News and held on June 5th, 2007 1:00 pm at the Dallas City Hall. (See Attachment A) Businesses, agencies, academia, and non-profits as well as other interested parties are regularly invited to the Floodplain Management Division of Public Works and Transportation meeting in which hazard and mitigation information is disseminated and discussed. 2-6 Dallas County Chapter Two While an opportunity to the public was provided during the planning process, there was no attendance from the Citizens, Non-Profits, Businesses, Academia, or Interested Parties Citizens, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits were also invited to the Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee for an update on the DaLMS and an opportunity to comment following the plan on November 11, 2008 (See Attachment A) During November 12-14, 2008 an ad was posted in the Dallas Morning News (See Attachment A) inviting the public, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits to view and comment on the DaLMS on a website. While these opportunities were provided there were no comments or input provided. An additional opportunity for the public to comment on the plan will be held prior to formal plan adoption. Plan Incorporation Dallas has many programs in place to address pertinent hazards ranging from informing citizens about protective measures, warning the public of impending threats, requiring safety measures to be incorporated in new buildings, acquiring and clearing properties in high hazard areas and constructing flood control projects. Other mitigation measures exist in the form of planning and guidance issued not only to assist in the City’s response efforts, but also to direct the citizenry in new construction and renovations best practices from previous disasters. The Dallas Master Emergency Operations Plan (MEOP) is one such plan and contains a hazard analysis summary for several potential natural and man-made disasters. The MEOP guides the City’s preparedness and response to an emergency or disaster. The Plan is reviewed each year and it is certified by the City Manager every five years. In addition to this Plan, the City also maintains robust building codes that aid in the mitigation of certain common hazards, such as flooding. The MEOP was incorporated during the planning process to assist the HMT in identifying their Vulnerability, Occurrence, and Impact of the Natural hazards. The Capital Improvement Plan and the City Zoning Plans were heavily referenced in developing this Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. These critical documents play an important and evolving role in the development of the City of Dallas as well as of the emergency response plans that help ensure the public’s safety. The Capitol Improvement Plan is especially incorporated in Chapter 4 as the city takes a comprehensive effort into implementing mitigation projects by identifying projects within the Capitol Improvement Plan that satisfy the goals. The current Hazard Mitigation Action Plan will build off of, support, and when necessary, guide these pre-existing hazard mitigation efforts. This is done in order to ensure that mitigation is a coordinated effort across the City’s departments and resources. North Central Texas Council of Governments 2-7 Regional Mitigation Strategy 2.4 Dallas County Unincorporated Area Planning Process The preparation for Dallas County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan began in the Fall of 2002. At that time the Court designated a Hazard Mitigation Team (HMT) and selected its members to assist the County Planner and County Judge’s Office in preparation of the plan. The following departments held representation on the Hazard Mitigation Team: Dallas County Judge Emergency Management Fire Marshall Engineer/Public Works Sheriff’s Office Planning & Development Budget Tax Office Trinity River Authority Downtown Dallas Emergency Response Team Information Technology The American Red Cross Dallas Area Chapter The HMT met five times through 2002-2004 to identify hazard goals and objectives and to provide direction regarding the appropriateness of proposed mitigation strategies. Drafts of the hazard plan were written and reviewed by the HMT.. Dallas County Commissioner’s Court, Planning Commission and Conservation Commission/Advisory Council were then given the HazMap draft for comment and opportunity to offer suggestions for revisions. The HMT met again in September of 2008 to discuss historical flooding, projected flooding concerns, repetitive loses, and mitigation projects The HMT will be responsible for annual reviews of the HazMap and progress reports to Dallas County Commissioners’ Court. Members of the HMT will represent Dallas County in the Local Mitigation Strategy group in effort to collaborate with neighboring jurisdictions and regional initiatives in the NCTCOG Multi- Jurisdictional Regional Mitigation Strategy.

This decision was made to take advantage of the resources offered by the NCTOG to assist the community in developing a functional plan that could obtain the appropriate approvals. The City Engineer was appointed at the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator. The HazMAP Coordinator worked with the City’s Emergency Coordinator to establish committee members. The committee members are as follows: Hazard Mitigation Coordinator City Engineer/ Farmers Branch Public Awareness / Education Communications Director/ Farmers Branch Emergency Preparedness and Response Fire Chief/ Farmers Branch Disaster Recovery Director of Community Services/ Farmers Branch Floodplain Management City Engineer/ Farmers Branch Engineering Services City Engineer/ Farmers Branch Damage Assessment Director of Community Services/ Farmers Branch Flood Control City Engineer/ Farmers Branch Building Codes and Permits Building Official/ Farmers Branch Environmental Protection Director of Community Services/ Farmers Branch Property Condemnation Building Official/ Farmers Branch Parks and Wildlife Director of Parks and Recreation/ Farmers Branch Levee Management Valwood Improvement Authority Manager Drainage Director of Public Works/ Farmers Branch The HMT was established and procedures were developed to complete a HazMAP Risk Assessment. The procedures were developed during the HMT orientation meeting. The purpose for the Hazard Mitigation Plan was identified and the responsibility of each member was explained. The recommended procedures were discussed. Comments from the meeting were incorporated into the draft plan as appropriate. The HMT also contacted organizations such as the Metrocrest Hospital Authority, Carrollton- Farmers Branch Independent School District and public utility companies for input. Representatives from volunteer agencies such as the American Red Cross had opportunities to attend the Regional meetings regarding Mitigation Action Planning. An additional opportunity for the public to comment on the plan will be held prior to formal plan approval. Public Involvement The committee planned a public meeting and advertised by including information about the meeting in an advertisement in the Dallas Morning News, the City’s Branch Mail e-mail connection system, the City’s web site, and on the City’s cable access channel. The meeting was held in the Council Chambers of City Hall on June 8, 2004 at 6:00 PM. The committee chairman presented a power point presentation explained the issues related to the plan and the reason for the public meeting. Following the presentation, those in attendance were given an opportunity to provide any input they desired. All communities, local businesses, non-profit businesses, academia and other interested parties were allowed to participate in the public meeting. Other selected organizations were contacted by the committee to determine if they had input the committee needed. While an opportunity to the public was provided during the planning process, there was no attendance from the Citizens, Non-Profits, Businesses, Academia, or Interested Parties. 2-14 Dallas County Chapter Two Citizens, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits were also invited to the Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee for an update on the DaLMS and an opportunity to comment following the plan on November 11, 2008 (See Attachment A) During November 12-14, 2008 an ad was posted in the Dallas Morning News (See Attachment A) inviting the public, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits to view and comment on the DaLMS on a website. While these opportunities were provided there were no comments or input provided. An additional opportunity for the public to comment on the plan will be held prior to formal plan adoption. Plan Incorporation The committee discussed and reviewed appropriate local studies, plans, reports and technical information. Additionally, these documents are to be reviewed at the time of future assessments of the Hazard Mitigation Plan and included, where applicable, with future funding reviews. Some of the current and past mitigation activities are as follows: • Adopted Ordinance No. 1670 in 1987 to regulate activities within the 100-year floodplain. • Rawhide Creek hydrologic and hydraulic study to update National Flood Insurance Program model to regulate activities along the creek and to identify residents that need to obtain flood insurance or no longer need flood insurance (2004) • Development of City of Farmers Branch Flood Plane Development Plan • Valwood Improvement Authority sump study to assess the amount of additional sump storage that is needed to maintain 100-year flood protection within the area protected by the Valwood Improvement Authority levees. • Adopted the 2003 International Code series. • Develops a Capital Improvement Plan for each annual budget for the City. By reviewing the current planning mechanisms which concern mitigation effort the HMT was able to incorporate their data into the risk assessment and future mitigation projects. North Central Texas Council of Governments 2-15 Regional Mitigation Strategy 2.8 City of Irving Planning Process The purpose of our Mitigation Action Plan (MAP) is to outline the nature and extent of vulnerability and risk from natural hazards and man-made hazards potentially affecting the City of Irving. It describes the actions required to minimize and/or eliminate the effects of those hazards on our City. The Public Works Director was designated as the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator (HMC). The Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) worked with the HMC in order to develop the framework and create an outline of Irving's Hazard Analysis. Through multi-departmental, jurisdictional and sector involvement, Irving's Emergency Management staff facilitated discussions and information sharing necessary for a comprehensive Hazard Analysis update. Upon completion of the Hazard Analysis, multiple meetings were held involving the essential departments, neighboring jurisdictions, volunteer agencies, and state and regional representatives, in order to develop a coordinated approach to Mitigation Action Planning. Some meetings were open to the public. After carefully considering input and discussions that occurred in the public meetings, essential information was gathered and used to develop Irving goals, objectives, and actions regarding mitigation planning. It should be noted that multiple objectives and mitigation action items were developed with a high level of sensitivity to hazards seen as major threats to the City of Irving (per Irving's Hazard Analysis). Many professionals were involved in the planning process of Irving's Mitigation Action plan (MAP). Including, but not limited to, multiple Irving departments and offices (City Management staff, Irving Convention and Visitors Bureau, Planning and Development, Urban Development, Public Works, Engineering and Construction, Streets and Drainage, Water/Wastewater Operations and Maintenance, Environmental Compliance, Public Health and Environmental Services, Solid Waste Collection and Disposal, General Services, Building Maintenance, Warehouse and Print Shop, Information Technology, Communications, GIS, Finance, Police, Fire, Emergency Management, Community Affairs, Parks and Recreation), neighboring and other jurisdictions with important roles in developing Irving MAP, the North Central Texas Council of Governments, State of Texas DEM, American Red Cross, and citizens of Irving. Public Involvement Open meetings were held giving the public opportunity to participate and comment on the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy and its direction during the planning process. One such meeting involved regional players and was held locally at Irving’s Civic Center. Additionally, hazard mitigation action planning was included in a Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing on February 19, 2007 in the City Council Chambers at Irving City Hall. At this hearing staff was available to answer any questions raised and address any comments made. In the work session prior, a presentation regarding HazMap was given to planning and zoning commission members to raise awareness and educate commission members on hazard mitigation action planning within the Irving community. Informational pamphlets, brochures, and DVDs were given out during a number of public outreach opportunities and these informational materials include Irving Office of Emergency Management contact information allowing further opportunities for comments. Irving OEM feels that public involvement is necessary for the effective development of mitigation policy and procedure. Regional meetings were held regarding Mitigation Action Planning and were highly attended by neighboring jurisdictions in the North Central Texas Region. This allowed all jurisdictions to bring ideas and concerns from businesses in their own area together. Representatives from volunteer agencies, including the American Red Cross, had opportunities to attend the open meetings held regarding mitigation planning. Irving Emergency Management staff members have numerous professional affiliations which directly increases the incoming of new or best practice mitigation 2-16 Dallas County Chapter Two ideas through email listings and info dissemination, meetings, seminar opportunities, and further training opportunities. The residents of Irving were also invited through the Dallas Morning News to a meeting held on June 5th, 2007 1:00 pm at the Dallas City Hall. Neighboring communities and local business, non-profits, businesses, and other interested parties in the planning process the City of Irving were also invited through the Dallas Morning News to the June 5th public meeting at Dallas City Hall. While an opportunity to the public was provided during the planning process, there was no attendance from the Citizens, Non-Profits, Businesses, Academia, or Interested Parties. Citizens, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits were also invited to the Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee for an update on the DaLMS and an opportunity to comment following the plan on November 11, 2008 (See Attachment A) During November 12-14, 2008 an ad was posted in the Dallas Morning News (See Attachment A) inviting the public, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits to view and comment on the DaLMS on a website. While these opportunities were provided there were no comments or input provided. An additional opportunity for the public to comment on the plan will be held prior to formal plan adoption. Plan Incorporation The City of Irving maintains a comprehensive and coordinated approach to all of its planning and strategy development. During the mitigation planning process this approach was continued. Building codes, ordinances, emergency operations plan, the Irving Hazard Vulnerability Assessment, and the Capital Improvement Plan were all used during the Irving MAP planning process. Each of these plans provides direction for the City of Irving and allowed mitigation planners to assess what the City’s needs were. By utilizing these plans in the planning process, planners were able to create mitigation goals and develop mitigating action items for consideration which would align with other city planning mechanisms. North Central Texas Council of Governments 2-17 Regional Mitigation Strategy 2.9 Lancaster Planning Process The planning process for the City of Lancaster's Hazard Mitigation Action Plan began with the development of Annex P (Hazard Mitigation) to the Emergency Operations Plan. Lancaster participated in public meetings at North Central Texas Council of Governments concerning the process of developing a Regional Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. The City of Lancaster joined the Regional Plan and developed a Hazard Mitigation Team. The HMT prioritized mitigation and preparedness needs based on the Lancaster levels of vulnerability and risk. The Emergency Management Coordinator for the City of Lancaster is responsible for the development of Annex P (Hazard Mitigation) and the planning process for the Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. The Emergency Management Coordinator has been designated as the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator (HMC) and serves as the single manager/coordinator for this function for the City of Lancaster. Hazard Mitigation Team consists primarily of representatives of local government, but also includes partners that represent industry and the private sector.

This meeting was posted on Lancaster City Council Meeting Agenda March 5, 2007 to give the public an opportunity to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval. During these meetings the public was informed, educated and involved in the vulnerability and risk reduction activities through the following methods: establishing a hazard mitigation team, the posting of Regional Mitigation Public Hearings, and local public meetings and hearings. The residents of Lancaster were also invited through the Dallas Morning News to a meeting held on June 5th, 2007 1:00 pm at the Dallas City Hall. Neighboring communities and local business, non-profits, businesses, and other interested parties in the planning process the City of Lancaster were also invited through the Dallas Morning News to the June 5th public meeting at Dallas City Hall. While an opportunity to the public was provided during the planning process, there was no attendance or comments from the Citizens, Non-Profits, Businesses, Academia, or Interested Parties. Citizens, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits were also invited to the Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee for an update on the 2-18 Dallas County Chapter Two DaLMS and an opportunity to comment following the plan on November 11, 2008 (See Attachment A) During November 12-14, 2008 an ad was posted in the Dallas Morning News (See Attachment A) inviting the public, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits to view and comment on the DaLMS on a website. While these opportunities were provided there were no comments or input provided. An additional opportunity for the public to comment on the plan will be held prior to formal plan adoption. Plan Incorporation Lancaster has several plans in place that address current mitigation activities. During the planning stage the Hazard Mitigation Team will review protective mitigation measures that can be incorporated in to the Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. Lancaster Fire and Building Codes are reviewed by the City Building and Standards Commission. These codes and standards assist with mitigation activities. In 1984 the City adopted floodplain management regulations as required for inclusion in the National Flood Insurance Program. The Comprehensive Zoning Plan and Capital Improvement Plan were important in developing the Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. The Zoning Plan assisted with identifying subdivision, properties and citizens that maybe in an hazardous area. The Capital Improvement Project Plan is used to prioritize drainage projects for inclusion into the City's budget process. Each of these plans assisted the Hazard Mitigation Team in its contribution to the DaLMS Goals and establishing mitigation items. North Central Texas Council of Governments 2-19 Regional Mitigation Strategy 2.10 Rowlett Planning Process The purpose of our Mitigation Action Plan (MAP) is to identify the nature and extent of vulnerability and risk from natural hazards and man-made hazards potentially affecting the City of Rowlett. It describes the actions required to minimize and/or eliminate the effects of those hazards on our City. The Rowlett Hazard Mitigation Team consists of the Hazard Mitigation Coordinator (who is also the Emergency Management Coordinator). Other members include City Management Office, Public Works, Economic Development Director, Fire Chief, Public Information, Parks and Recreation, Planning and Geographic Information System. Through multi-departmental, jurisdictional and sector involvement, Rowlett's Emergency Management office facilitated discussions and information sharing necessary for a comprehensive Hazard Analysis update. Upon completion of the Hazard Analysis, multiple meetings were held involving the essential departments, volunteer agencies, and state and regional representatives, in order to develop a coordinated approach to Mitigation Action Planning. Meetings were open to the public to discuss the Hazard Analysis and Mitigation Plan. After carefully considering input and discussions that occurred in all the meetings, essential information was gathered and used to develop our goals, objectives, and actions regarding mitigation planning. Public Involvement Public meetings were held to allow for community involvement. In accordance with city policy announcements were made and published for the meeting held on October 13, 2005 at 7:00 pm at the Rowlett City Council Chambers. In order to involve neighboring communities and local business, non-profits, businesses, and other interested parties in the planning process a public meeting announcement was published in the Dallas Morning News (See Attachment A) for the June 5th, 2007 1:00 pm meeting at the Dallas City Hall While an opportunity to the public was provided during the planning process, there was no attendance or comment from the Citizens, Non-Profits, Businesses, Academia, or Interested Parties. Citizens, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits were also invited to the Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee for an update on the DaLMS and an opportunity to comment following the plan on November 11, 2008 (See Attachment A) During November 12-14, 2008 an ad was posted in the Dallas Morning News (See Attachment A) inviting the public, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits to view and comment on the DaLMS on a website. While these opportunities were provided there were no comments or input provided. An additional opportunity for the public to comment on the plan will be held prior to formal plan adoption. Plan Incorporation The City of Rowlett's Strategic Plan, City Ordinances and Capital Improvements Plan 2005-2006 (CIP) were reviewed when drafting the mitigation plan. These plans were reviewed and used during the hazard mitigation planning process. Reviewing the plans provided city department coordination and hazard mitigation team direction as a city-wide comprehensive approach to mitigation planning. This provided a foundation for mitigation planners to guide direction towards goals and objectives and identifying action items. 2-20 Dallas County Chapter Two 2.11 City of Sachse Planning Process The City of Sachse began the planning process by establishing a Hazard Mitigation Team (HMT). The Hazard Mitigation Team consists of the City Manager and the following City Department Directors: Police Chief, Fire Chief City Secretary Finance Director Public Works Director Community Development Director Parks and Recreation Director Library Director Assistant Police Chief Building Official During the Hazard Mitigation Team meetings, a hazard vulnerability assessment was created in order to establish goals and appropriate mitigation ac;tion items. The City of Sachse HMT collaborated with the Dallas Local Mitigation Strategy (DaLMS) in adopting county-wide goals the DaLMS believes that disasters do not stay within jurisdictional boundaries and a multi- jurisdictional approach to mitigation will have the greatest impact for the citizens of Sachse and Dallas County. The HMT used city plans, public involvement, and departmental goals during the mitigation planning process to create the Sachse mitigation plan. Public Involvement The City of Sachse held public awareness meetings and listed information on the City’s website to inform the citizens. The City presented the Hazard Mitigation Action Plan to the Public for comment on October 26, 2005. The public provided comments which were implemented during the planning process. Sachse residents, neighboring jurisdictions, interested parties, academia, and business were invited through the Dallas Morning News to a public meeting on June 5th, 2007 1:00-3:00 pm at Dallas City Hall for all jurisdictions participating in the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy and NCTCOG Multi-Jurisdictional Regional Mitigation Strategy. While an opportunity to the public was provided during the planning process, there was no attendance from the Citizens, Non-Profits, Businesses, Academia, or Interested Parties. Citizens, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits were also invited to the Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee for an update on the DaLMS and an opportunity to comment following the plan on November 11, 2008 (See Attachment A) During November 12-14, 2008 an ad was posted in the Dallas Morning News (See Attachment A) inviting the public, neighboring communities, local business, academia, agencies, nonprofits to view and comment on the DaLMS on a website. While these opportunities were provided there were no comments or input provided. To continue to engage the public in the planning process, the completed Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy will be on file for public review at the City of Sachse Library and at the office of the Community Development Department. The public will be encouraged to review the planning document and provide comments to the Emergency Management Coordinator. With each plan update, a public hearing will be held to seek comments from interested citizens and business owners relating to the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy. An additional opportunity for the public to comment on the plan will be held prior to formal plan adoption. North Central Texas Council of Governments 2-21 Regional Mitigation Strategy Plan Incorporation The City of Sachse has several other city plans which were considered during the mitigation planning process. These include: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Maps; City of Sachse Comprehensive Plan, which includes Future Land Use and Thoroughfare Plans; Emergency Operations Plan; Capital Improvement Program (CIP); current zoning plan, adopted building codes and amendments; City of Sachse Ordinances. The Hazard Mitigation Team used these plans as guidance in determining goals and mitigation action items in response to the vulnerability assessment for the City of Sachse. North Central Texas Council of Governments 3-1 Regional Mitigation Strategy Chapter Three Hazard Analysis 3.1 Introduction to Hazard Analysis The Hazard Mitigation Action Plan for Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy is a tool to assist in the identification and documentation of all the hazards faced in the region. The Dallas County profile is one of many developed by the North Central Texas Council of Governments under the FEMA Hazard Mitigation program. These plans are created by compiling data from the NCTCOG regional natural hazards risk assessments, Damage Assessments, Hazard Profiling and Identification as well as historical data and geographic information Hazards Addressed Dallas County has identified the following Natural Hazards as having the potential to cause damage in the county. Flooding, Stream Bank Erosion, Dam Failure, and Levee Failure are the only hazards recognized to have predictable vulnerable areas. All other hazards are equally likely to occur throughout the Dallas County jurisdictions. Earthquake An earthquake is a sudden motion or trembling caused by an abrupt release of accumulated strain on the tectonic plates that comprise the Earth's crust. The theory of plate tectonics holds that the Earth's crust is broken into several major plates. These rigid, 50- to 60- mile thick plates move slowly and continuously over the interior of the earth, meeting in some areas and separating in others. As the tectonic plates move together they bump, slide, catch, and hold. Eventually, faults along or near plate boundaries slip abruptly when the stress exceeds the elastic limit of the rock, and an earthquake occurs. The ensuring seismic activity and ground motion provoke secondary hazards: surface faulting, ground failure, and tsunamis. The vibration or shaking of the ground during an earthquake is referred to as ground motion. In general, the severity of ground motion increases with the amount of energy released and decreases with distance from the causative fault or epicenter. When a fault ruptures, seismic waves are propagated in all directions, causing the ground to vibrate at frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 30 Hz. Seismic waves are referred to as P waves, S waves, and surface waves. Prior to October 2008 there was no historical evidence of an earthquake occurring in Dallas County and geophysical field investigations at the Superconducting Super Collider (SCC) site in Ellis County (South East of Dallas County) revealed no unusual rock foundation properties at the site that would lead to anomalous ground motions during earthquakes. There are no known active geological faults within Dallas County. Inactive normal faults of the Balcones fault system do occur. During October 31 to November 1, 2008 there were seven earthquakes ranging from 2.5 to 3.0 on the Richter Scale in Dallas County. Due the recent event there is no research currently available on these Earthquakes. The most likely future risk is still associated to either a distant larger quake which might occur in Missouri, Tennessee, or Oklahoma, though these earthquakes are probable to occur only once every 500 years. The second likely occurrence for earthquakes is large amount of hydrocarbon production occurring in the northwestern area of the North Central Texas region including Dallas County. Natural Gas Extractions has been responsible for creating small earthquakes within the formations which it is produced, in the case of the North Texas natural gas play, the primary formation is the Barnett gas play. Due to the risk being associated to a distant quake, Earthquakes affect the planning area equally. Tornado A violently rotating column of air, in contact with the ground, either pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud, and often (but not always) visible as a condensation funnel cloud. Tornados affect the entire planning area equally. Hail Outgrowth of a severe thunderstorm in which balls or irregularly shaped lumps of ice greater than 0.75 inches in diameter fall with rain. Early in the developmental stages of a hailstorm, ice 3-2 Dallas County Chapter Three crystals form within a low-pressure front due to warm air rising rapidly into the upper atmosphere and the subsequent cooling of the air mass. Frozen droplets gradually accumulate on the ice crystals until, having developed sufficient weight, they fall as precipitation. Hail affects the entire planning area equally. High Winds Wind is defined as the motion of air relative to the earth’s surface. The horizontal component of the three-dimensional flow and the near-surface wind phenomenon are the most significant aspects of the hazard. Straight-line winds are often responsible for most of the wind damage associated with a thunderstorm. These winds are often confused with tornadoes because of similar damage and wind speeds. However, the strong and gusty winds associated with straight-line winds blow roughly in a straight line unlike the rotating winds of a tornado. Downbursts or microbursts are examples of damaging straight-line winds. A downburst is a small area of rapidly descending rain and rain-cooled air beneath a thunderstorm that produces a violent, localized downdraft covering 2.5 miles or less. Wind speeds in some of the stronger downbursts can reach 100 to 150 miles per hour, which is similar to that of a strong tornado. The winds produced from a downburst often occur in one direction, and the worst damage is usually on the forward side of the downburst. High Winds affect the entire planning area equally Lightning Thunderstorm and lightning events are generated by atmospheric imbalance and turbulence due to the combination of the following conditions: unstable warm air rising rapidly into the atmosphere; sufficient moisture to form clouds and rain; and upward lift of air currents caused by colliding cold and warm weather fronts, sea breezes or mountains. Lighting is generated by the buildup of charged ions in a thundercloud, and the discharge of a lightning bolt interacts with the best conducting object or surface on the ground. The air channel of a lightning strike reaches temperatures higher than 50, 000 degrees Fahrenheit. The rapid heating and cooling of the air near the channel causes a shock wave, which produces thunder. Lightning affects the entire planning area equally. Winter Storms Winter storms originate as mid-latitude depressions or cyclonic weather systems, sometimes following the path of the jet stream. A winter storm or blizzard, combines heavy snowfall, high winds, extreme cold and ice storms. Many winter depressions give rise to exceptionally heavy rain and widespread flooding and conditions worsen if the precipitation falls in the form of snow. The winter storm season varies widely, depending on latitude, altitude and proximity to moderating influences. Winter Storms affects the entire planning area equally. Summer Heat Severe summer heat is characterized by a combination of a very high temperatures and exceptionally humid conditions. When persisting over a period of time, it is called a heat wave. Summer Heat affects the entire planning area equally. Drought Drought can be defined as a water shortage caused by the natural reduction in the amount of precipitation expected over an extended period of time, usually a season or more in length. It can be aggravated by other factors such as high temperatures, high winds, and low relative humidity. Drought affects the entire planning area equally. Flooding Flooding is defined as the accumulation of water within a water body and the overflow of excess water onto adjacent floodplain lands. The floodplain is the land adjoining the channel of a river, stream, ocean, lake, or other watercourse or water body that is susceptible to flooding. The statistical meaning of terms like “25-year storm” and “100-year flood” can be confusing. Simply stated, a floodplain can be located anywhere; it just depends on how large and how often a flood event occurs. Floodplains are those areas that are subject to inundation from flooding. Floods and the floodplains associated with them are often described in terms of the percent chance of a flood event happening in any given year. As a community management or planning term, “floodplain” most often refers to an area that is subject to inundation by a flood that has a one percent chance of occurring in any given year (commonly and incorrectly referred to as the 100-year floodplain). North Central Texas Council of Governments 3-3 Regional Mitigation Strategy Flooding is a natural hazard that has been identified as having a predictable vulnerable area. The FEMA Q3 Flood zones (Maps E.1-E.11) depict a satellite view of the community in relation to the 100 and 500 year flood zones. The Landuse maps (J.1-J.11) depict the type of structures in the community by Residential, Commercial, and Undeveloped. The Landuse maps also identify Emergency Operation Centers, Fire Stations, Police Station and Hospitals. The FEMA Q3 Flood zones are overlaid to demonstrate what facilities and types of facilities are at risk in each community in the event of a flood. The following is a further identification of Flooding in the participating jurisdictions: Unincorporated Dallas County Over 90% of the land in Dallas County is located within a city. Since, in Texas, usually only cities - and not counties - have the authority to adopt zoning and building ordinances. Less than ten percent of the land in the County is not located in a city. Much of this un-incorporated land is considered to be in the federally-designated floodplain. Rural unincorporated Dallas County, which is located in the southeast portion of the county /o, consists of single family dwellings, mobile home parks, and many preserve and sanctuaries such as: Fin and Feather Club Lake, Trinity River Greenbelt, Dallas Hunting and Fishing Club Lake, Goat Island Preserve, Cottonwood Creek Preserve, Palmetto/Alligator Slough Preserve, Simonds Lake and Park, Post Oak Grove Preserve, Trinity River Greenbelt Preserve Riverbend Section, and Audobon Bird Sanctuary. Because the un-incorporated areas of Dallas County lie within a federally-designated floodplain, the likelihood of the unincorporated areas of Dallas County to be flooded is very likely due to number of aging and unmaintained levees that are located within the floodplain. Please see the South East Dallas County Floodplain map that outlines the 100 and 500 year floodplains for the unincorporated areas of Dallas County. Approximately two years ago, in the unincorporated areas of Southeast Dallas County at 14300- 15000 Beckett Rd became flooded due to a levee breach which flooded gravel sloughs that submerged commercial excavating equipment, a crane and damaged two or three homes in this area. From April 2005 through 2007, Dallas County received a grant to relocate 100 residents in the Sand Branch area located within the low-lying floodplain located at 3900-4000 S Beltline Road in the unincorporated area of Dallas County. Currently, there are home being demolished, but there are still homes being occupied at this time in this area. The following are areas of unincorporated Dallas County that are susceptible to flooding • D Bar D MHP, Near Fin & Feather Club Lake & Trinity River, The 2700 Block Dowdy Ferry, Dallas, Texas, 75253 • Sand Branch, Single Family Homes near Palmetto/Alligator Slough Preserve, 3900-4000 Beltline Rd S, Dallas,Texas, 75159 • Near Goat Island Preserve, Post Oak & Fulgham, Dallas, Texas, 75172 • Near Cottonwood Creek Preserve, Beltline & Cottonwood Creek, Wilmer, Texas 75172 • Near Cottonwood Creek Preserve, Beltline Rd & Post Oak, Wilmer, Texas, 75172, • Near Palmetto & Alligator Slough Preserve, Bilindsay & Belt Line Rd S, Dallas, Texas, 75159, • Parson Slough near Bilindsay & Bois D’ Arc, Combine, Texas75159 • Trinity River Greenbelt Preserve Riverbend Section near Malloy Bridge & Boise D’ Arc, Dallas, Texas, 75159 • Near Audobon Bird Sanctuary near Wolf Springs Rd East, Dallas, Texas, 75125, 75159 • Audobon Bird Sanctuary/Trinity River near Bilindsay Cove & Bilindsay, Dallas, Texas, 75159 • The 2700 Block Sachse Road, Sachse, Texas 75048 (4 homes flooded near Muddy Creek) • Dowdy Ferry & Tea Garden, Dallas, Texas 75217 3-4 Dallas County Chapter Three City of Cedar Hill There are four major drainage basins within the City boundaries : Upper Red Oak Creek, Upper Ten Mile Creek, Joe Pool Lake, and Chambers Watershed. Average temperature is 66.10°F and the average annual rainfall is 33.7 inches. Currently, the City has approximately 107 miles of storm sewers and 258 miles of roadway. Because of significant growth and development within the past eight years, more impervious surfaces have been added throughout Cedar Hill resulting in increased runoff and potential threat of flooding. The City is subject to variable amounts of rainfall resulting in flooding for short periods of time. Development within the Bentle Branch floodplain has resulted in the construction of a regional detention facility to receive the storm water from the surge of growth experienced in that area. The City of Cedar Hill joined the Federal Emergency Management Program on July 21, 1974. The City began the Flood Insurance Rate Mapping (FIRM) effort on April 1, 1981. Criteria and standards have been established by the City of Cedar Hill to govern the use of natural streams and floodplains and to serve as guidelines for the development of man-made drainage facilities and the improvement of natural channels (Ordinance #94-194 on September 24, 1994). Floodplains in the City are managed by a flood damage prevention ordinance passed by the City Council on April 5, 1088 (Ordinance #88-968). This ordinance designates the floodplain administrator as a single point contact to oversee issues and record the studies and records of floodplain areas established within the city. On February 1999, the City implemented a Storm Drainage Master Plan. This plan provides information regarding major drainage projects and analyzes the design manual for improvements. Residential areas prone to flooding are west of Lake Ridge Elementary School, including parts of Sunrise Court. Street flooding have been observed and described at the following locations: 1. Clark and 500 blk of Astoria – Just south of Astoria on Clark Road; water drains out into the roadway. 2. 2900 blk of Lakeview Drive - Very high water during large rainfall events. 3. Duncanville Road - Just north of Ovilla city limits; water runs across roadway during large rain fall events. 4. 1300 blk of Joe Wilson Road - Just north of Bear Creek under large rain events; water runs across roadway. 5. 200 blk of Kenya Street - East of Clark Road. Water builds up in the roadway during large rain events. 6. 100 blk of Joe Wilson Road - On the corner by the Tiger Mart, water builds up during heavy rainfalls. 7. Wood Lane and Little Creek - Large amounts of water shed across the roadway of Wood Lane. Roadway floods when private pond on the west side of Wood Lane becomes full. 8. West Wintergreen and High Pointe – This intersection floods under very large rain fall events. 9. Meadow Ridge Drive and Daniel Lane - This intersection floods during large rain fall events. City of Coppell The City of Coppell contains three major tributaries that ultimately drain into the Elm Fork of the Trinity River along the eastern City limits. Approximately 5.4 square miles of the City is drained by Grapevine Creek, and approximately 7.9 square miles of the City is drained by Denton Creek, including 2.8 square miles drained by Cottonwood Branch, a major tributary of Denton Creek. The remaining 1.7 square miles drains directly into the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. The Northwest Dallas County Flood Control District, the Denton County Levee Improvement District No. 1, and the Irving Flood Control District are all located within the City limits. North Central Texas Council of Governments 3-5 Regional Mitigation Strategy Having experienced a significant history of flooding, the City of Coppell actively engages in measures to reduce the impact of flooding on the community. The City's active mitigation efforts include participation in National Flood Insurance Program, public education, floodplain management and storm water management. Coppell promotes public education through the posting of ordinances and information on the City’s website and in common areas. The City has also enacted ordinances and guidance with roles in flood mitigation which include: Subdivision Ordinance, Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Storm Drainage Design Criteria, Standard Construction Details Code and Floodplain Management Ordinance. City of Dallas The Elm Fork and main stem of the Trinity River run through the heart of Dallas. The Dallas Floodway protects much of the city from flooding directly from the river, but the sumps and pump stations on the interior of the levees do not have capacity for 100-year flood protection. Significant flooding occurred on the interior sides of both the east and west levees on March 19, 2006. Hardest hit were the Hampton/Oaklawn Sump on the east, and both Pavaho and Trinity- Portland Sumps on the west. Significant flooding has also occurred on major streams such as White Rock Creek, Bachman Branch, Turtle Creek, Joes Creek, and Elam Creek, as well as smaller streams such as Knights and Cedar Springs Branches, Rush Creek, and Ricketts Branch. Loss of life as well as property damage occurred on May 5, 1995. The Trinity River downstream of the Dallas Floodway experienced three near-100-year events in the area of Cadillac Heights (west side) and Rochester Park (east side) between 1989 and 1991. No longer natural streams, Mill Creek and Peaks Branch were fully enclosed from the 1920’s through the 1960’s. Various standards were used for design of the pipe and culvert systems, leaving significant portions with less than 2-year capacity. During heavy rains, lack of system capacity frequently results in water coursing down the streets and across city blocks, following the trace of the old creeks. Significant flooding in these areas occurred in 1995 and twice in 2006. Flooding problems in Dallas are addressed through capital bond programs. Dallas maintains a needs inventory that serves as a project source for bond program development. Problems identified and listed in the flood and drainage needs inventory come from floodplain management study recommendations and staff investigations of reported flooding occurrences. In 2006, voters approved a bond program that includes over $334M in funding for flood-related projects. Ongoing work includes the first phase of deep tunnel relief systems for Mill Creek and Peaks Branch, replacement of three pump stations in the Dallas Floodway system, and numerous other flood- and drainage-related projects. Over $600M in flood and drainage needs remains unfunded. City of DeSoto DeSoto is located in the Best Southwest portion of Dallas County. The City of DeSoto is situated just minutes from downtown Dallas. Bordering I-35 on its eastern border and Highway 67 on it northern boundary, the City covers approximately 21 square miles. Ten Mile Creek, Spring Creek, Health Creek, Bee Branch and Stewart Branch are some of the major streams that flow through the City. There are also several small tributaries that drain into these creeks. In the early 1980’s the City of DeSoto adopted Floodplain Management regulations as required for inclusion in the National Flood Insurance Program. The initial Flood Insurance Study (FIS) that was conducted by FEMA was completed on April 17, 1984. On August 23, 2008, FEMA issued a new Flood Insurance Rate Map that updated DeSoto’s floodplain and floodway of Heath Creek and Spring Creek. Criteria and standards have been established by the City of DeSoto to govern the use of natural streams and flood plains and to serve as guidelines for the development of man-made drainage facilities and improvement of natural channels. DeSoto method of reducing flood losses is to prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards to other land. Floodplains in the City are controlled by a Flood 3-6 Dallas County Chapter Three Damage Prevention ordinance passed by the DeSoto City Council on March 16, 1987. The City of DeSoto Drainage Master Plan and Drainage Design and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Manual were adopted by ordinance September 2001. Included in the scope of Drainage Master Plan was a hydraulic study of all tributaries to Ten Mile Creek. A 100-year flood level was established through this study of all tributaries. This study insures that no structures will encroach in stream areas as the City of DeSoto continues to develop. Ten Mile Creek and tributaries have provided the community along its stream banks with a pleasant amenity. The area surrounding Ten Mile Creek and Spring Creek is made up of made up of primarily one major land use, residential areas. After the May 17, 1989 Ten Mile Creek Flood, a Corps of Engineers project widened the Ten Mile Creek Channel at the Hampton Road Bridge to reduce the likelihood of future flood damage. In June of 2000 DeSoto experience moderate flooding long Ten Mile Creek. However some resident have reported that Ten Mile Creek has come close to overtopping its banks in recent years. Prior to the drainage improvement along Brookview Drive, the alley of Brookview Drive did not have the capacity to carry and contain storm waters caused by heavy rains resulting in flooding of homes. In DeSoto both sides of Woodhaven Drive and North side of Ten Mile Creek Drive have experience flooding. Based on past flood history, approximately 39 housing units would be at risk from flooding along Ten Mile Creek. In the pass heave rains resulted in a localized flooding event in Wolf Creek subdivision. The scope of this project consists of upsizing the existing storm drain pipes, building a dirt barrier north of the Wolf Creek addition and constructing a detention pond just north of the Wolf Creek subdivision. The quality of life for the citizens of DeSoto depends in part upon adequate drainage facilities. The City of DeSoto developed the Drainage Design and Strom Water Pollution Prevention Manual. This Manual establishes criteria procedures and data for drainage evaluation to ensure the adequacy of new drainage facilities. The intent is to minimize potential negative drainage impacts caused by development. The City mitigation goals and long-term strategies are to reduce the likelihood of structural flooding by eliminating development within the floodplain and provide onsite detention of stormwater runoff. It is the policy of the City to limit development or fill in the 100-year floodplain shown on the Storm Drainage Master Plan. The development of the remaining undeveloped land in DeSoto offers the opportunity to achieve, through careful planning and guidance, the type of community and the quality of life the citizens of DeSoto deserve. City of Duncanville The Bentle Branch watershed drains approximately 3.65 square miles of Dallas County from its headwaters near Beltline Road to its confluence with the Tenmile Creek. According to local residents, historically severe flood events have not occurred along Bentle Branch to cause significant flooding problems. However, residents have reported that the stream has come close to overtopping its banks several times recent years. This trend of increased flooding has been attributed to the development that has occurred within the basin in recent years. Severe flooding was experienced in the Bentle Branch basin. Localized flooding during July 2004 produced well above normal runoff and stream flows in most of southwest Dallas County. The City of Cedar Hill reports a maximum rainfall total of over 12 inches during that period. The City of Lancaster was hardest hit by the storm, receiving close to 13 inches in less than eight hours according to the National Weather Service. As a result of theses heavy rains, Bentle Branch overtopped its banks in some areas on Tenmile Creek. This flooding along with increasing development along the floodplain upstream of Duncanville, led to the commission of the Stream Stability and Storm Water Management Update. Homes that reported flooding from the July 2004 storm were 303 and 307 W. Cedar Creek Drive along Tenmile Creek at the confluence with North Central Texas Council of Governments 3-7 Regional Mitigation Strategy Bentle Branch. The hydraulic analyses from this study confirm that there are no structures inundated by the 100-year flood on Bentle Branch with the exception of the structures located at the confluence with Tenmile Creek. The Flood Plain Information Report on Ten Mile Creek published in May 1986 indicated the largest known flood on Ten Mile Creek occurred in May 1908. The second highest known flood occurred in April 1942. The flood of June 1946 was the third largest known flood, and at least five bridges in the upper and middle reaches of Ten Mile Creek were completely washed away. The study involved portions of each of the following streams: Ten Mile Creek, Mauk Branch, Stewart Branch, Horne Branch and Bentle Branch. The Bentle Branch watershed has become one of the region’s most rapidly developing areas and is located within the Tenmile creek drainage basin. The majority of the watershed is located in the City of Cedar Hill, upstream of Duncanville. The mile long reach and watershed of Bentle Branch located in Duncanville is almost completely developed by residential communities. Development in and along the Bentle Branch floodplain increases these problems, the City of Duncanville commissioned this Bentle Branch Stream Stability Study and Stormwater Master Plan to address channel stability and drainage problems that might be caused by future floods. This floodplain management study covers the reach of Bentle Branch from the city limits just upstream of Joe Wilson Road downstream to Tenmile Creek. Changes in the watershed that have affected flood discharges and erosion along the reach of Bentle Branch that flows through the City of Duncanville are due in part to the development upstream in Cedar Hill. Much of this development as occurred within the last ten years, but large tracts still development of such areas is often accompanied by increased flood flows resulting from urbanization agricultural acreage to residential, commercial, and industrial development already exist for Cedar Hill. The City of Duncanville joined the Federal Emergency Management Program on April 15, 1981. The original Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for the City of Duncanville was published in August 1979. A Flood Insurance (DFIRM) Remapping effort began for all of Dallas County in 2004 to update all floodplain mapping. The remapping effort includes the Bentle Branch watershed in Duncanville as part of the remapping effort. In January 1986, a report entitled A Flood Control Feasibility Study of Tenmile Creek & Tributaries For The City of Duncanville, Texas was published. This report included the reach of Bentle Branch that flows through Duncanville. The 100 year frequency flood elevation and discharges were developed based on a fully developed watershed and, channel improvements were recommended. Criteria and standards have been established by the City of Duncanville to govern the use of natural streams and flood plains and to serve as guidelines for the development of man-made drainage facilities and improvement of natural channels. Floodplains in the City of Duncanville are controlled by a flood damage prevention ordinance passed by the Duncanville City Council on March 16, 1987. The floodplains delineated in this report are subject to this ordinance. The City also generally utilizes the City of Dallas’ Drainage Design Manual for all development plans. Existing development which is subject to overbank flooding is primarily residential, but also includes some commercial and light industrial property. An estimated 140 buildings are within the limits of the 100-year flood plain, which covers about 402 acres. All of the 47 acres in the Bentle Branch flood plain in Duncanville is privately owned. There is no City owned property within the floodplain. City of Farmers Branch The City of Farmers Branch has three creeks that run through the City flowing towards the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. They are Cooks Creek, Rawhide Creek and Farmers Branch Creek. These creeks are the major drainage channels for the entire City and for some portions of neighboring cities. During heavy rains, these creeks frequently rise rapidly. On occasion flood waters have flowed over low 3-8 Dallas County Chapter Three bridge crossing and entered some homes. This is has occurred along the Cooks Creek at Bee Street, Rawhide Creek at Brookhaven Drive, and along Farmers Branch Creek between Marsh Lane and Valley View Lane. The elevation of water has never been a life-safety issue at the residences, but has resulted in inside water damage for approximately 10 homes. There have been occurrences of vehicles being washed off the roads at the low water crossings on Marsh Lane and Bee Street. There has been no occurrences of flooding near the Elm Fork of the Trinity River at the City's western boarder since levees were constructed by the Valwood Improvement Authority in the late 1970s. City of Irving There are five drainage basins that cause the majority of flooding in Irving. The Elm Fork of the Trinity River is our eastern border. There are no insurable structures in the Elm Fork floodplain. The West Fork of the Trinity River is a major portion of our southern boundary. There are over 300 insurable structures in the West Fork floodplain. Bear Creek is our third largest watershed. There are over 100 insurable structures in the Bear Creek floodplain, however, most of them are in the shared Bear Creek/West Fork floodplain and would have 6 inches to one foot more water inside the structure during a West Fork flood. Delaware Creek has a 9.23 square mile watershed with approximately 100 insurable structures in the floodplain. West Irving Creek has a 3.2 square mile watershed with approximately 160 insurable structures in the floodplain. The last major flood in Irving was May 5, 1995 with approximately 100 structures being flooded. The City has been making drainage improvements to our systems based on that event ever since. City of Lancaster Lancaster is a city of over 35, surrounded by open farmland, low rolling hills, creeks and woodlands. It is evident that in recent years Lancaster has been competing with cities like DeSoto Cedar Hill and Duncanville, among others, to capture a part of the region’s growth, and this trend could realistically continue. Today, many portions of the City remain undeveloped, and therefore, extensive additional development can be expected to occur in those areas. City of Lancaster has a higher-than- average amount of commerical land use. Cedar Valley College, Lancaster Municipal Airport and Dallas Logistics Hub are all located in the City of Lancaster. The 2007 Environmental Assessment project site is located along Nokomis Road as it crosses Tenmile Creek in Lancaster. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed project is required to repair and prevent stream bank failure and protect Tenmile Creek bridge as well as Nokomis Road from further erosion induced damages. The project is authorized under Section 14 of the Flood Control Act of 1946, as amended. The City owns the bridge and it provides access to homes, businesses, and schools with an estimated traffic count of 1,200 cars per day. Based on the field investigation, erosion calculations, and visual inspections, if erosion is not stabilized, the stream banks will continue to fail. At the current rate of erosion, both the embankment and the bridge for Nokomis Road are likely to be negatively impacted within the next five years. Five alternatives were considered during the plan formulation process for the stream bank protection. These alternatives included: 1) gabions; 2) rock riprap; 3) a concrete slope structure; 4) prepackaged concrete riprap bag slope protection, and 5) a “No Action” plan. Alternative 4 was chosen as the recommended plan based on the plan’s cost effectiveness for providing protection against further stream bank erosion at the problem site and the plan’s ability to protect the bridge structure and road from erosion induced failure. Tenmile Creek flows in an easterly direction through the south end of the City. There has been significant erosion of the stream banks in the area where Nokomis Road and Tenmile Creek intersect. The creek was ten miles longer and flowed into the Trinity in Ellis County before it was diverted and channeled into the river at its present location. Where not diverted, the creek has a limestone bottom. Today, the creek flows through the corporate limits of Cedar Hill, Duncanville, De Soto, Lancaster, Wilmer, and Ferris. The findings of this Environmental Assessment indicate that there is a need for stream bank protection near Nokomis Road and bridge at Tenmile Creek. North Central Texas Council of Governments 3-9 Regional Mitigation Strategy The prepackaged concrete riprap bag slope protection alternative would provide streambank protection against further erosion and protect the affected public bridge and road. Recently, flooding was experienced along Ten Mile Creek. Localized flooding during March 2008 produced well above normal runoff and streamflows in the City of Lancaster. Officials sent voluntary evacuation notices to 687 registered CodeRed phone numbers and closed about 16 streets in reponse to flooding. Homes located on Enchanted Lane experience flooding because of their proximity to Ten Mile Creek. Currently, some home along Enhancted Lane are now for sale. In July 2004 the City of Lancaster was hardest hit by rain, receiving close to 13 inches in less that eight hours according to the National Weather Service. Ten Mile and Bear creeks were forced out of their banks, and more than 100 homes were flooded. City of Lancaster joined the Federal Emergency Management Program on June 7, 1974. The City began the Flood Insurance Rate Mapping (FIRM) effort September 1981. Stormwater management policies are defined by stormwater management ordinance 2004-07-21, adopted on July 26, 2004. The City’s policies for stormwater management govern the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of storm drainage facilities within the City’s jurisdiction. This storm water management policy is based on the Lancaster Storm Water Management Ordinance and Storm Water Design Manual. The City Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan was prepared in 1997. The purpose of this plan was to provide direction in the acquisition and development of park land and open space needs. The Open Space Plan creates an open space system to link parks, schools, greenbelts and open spaces in the City. Criteria and standards have been established by the City to govern the use of natural streams and flood plains and to serve as guidelines for the development of man-made drainage facilities and improvement of natural channels. The drainage ways, creeks and flood hazard areas of the City of Lancaster are subject to periodic inundation which may result in property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services and extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare. City of Rowlett Flooding has been identified as the primary natural disaster to be faced by the City of Rowlett. Long Branch Creek, Rowlett Creek, and Muddy Creek, as its tributaries run through the city. The city has taken some measures to reduce the incidents of flooding within the city, which have been addressed in this document. Some additional areas continue to be problematic though causing more road closures issues than danger to homes or business. Main Street, Waterview Drive ,Liberty Grove Road, Dalrock, Schrade Road, Chiesa Road, Miller Road, and Scenic Road bridge are often closed due to flooding. These roadway are main arterials that would cause major problems if the city needed to evacuated because of a natural disaster. Localized street flooding in residential areas is being addressed through our Capital Improvement Program. New construction cannot be in the floodway and built in the flood plain and must flood proofed two above BFE. City of Sachse. Flooding has been identified as the primary natural disaster to be faced by the City of Sachse. Rowlett Creek, Maxwell Creek, Long Branch of Muddy Creek, Willow Lake and Muddy Creek as well as its tributaries run through the city. The city has taken some measures to reduce the incidents of flooding within the city which have been addressed in this document. Some additional areas continue to be problematic though causing more road closure issues than danger to homes or businesses. Highway 78, Merritt Road and Sachse Road often require to be closed due to flooding, though this limits many of our evacuation routes should other hazard events occur. Floodways near homes are being addressed to alleviate storm water drainage problems. New construction cannot be built in the floodway and those built in the flood plain must be flood proofed two feet above BFE. Stream Bank Erosion Stream channels are eroded by the energy of flowing water. The two types of stream bank erosion are the surface erosion of channel bank material and mass wasting. Surface erosion is the removal of individual soil particles due to the tractive force of water. Mass 3-10 Dallas County Chapter Three wasting is defined as a structural failure of a section of the stream bank, which can be caused by undercutting due to surface erosion. Stream bank erosion occurs when development of the contributing watershed results in increased impervious area, reduced infiltration, increased runoff, and increased flood frequencies. These subsequent higher peak flows and velocities impart a greater tractive force on the stream bank, which results in a higher erosion rate than the stable pre-development rate. Map F illustrates the jurisdictions which experience increased growth rate and the channels susceptible. As illustrated, the City of Dallas and Rowlett are the jurisdictions in the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy most affected by Stream Bank Erosion and thus have identified mitigation action items in Chapter 4. Dam Failure A dam is defined as a barrier constructed across a watercourse for the purpose of storage, control, or diversion of water. Dams typically are constructed of earth, rock, concrete, or mine tailings. A dam failure is an accidental or unintentional collapse, breach, or other failure of an impoundment structure that results in downstream flooding. Because dams are man-made structures, dam failures are usually considered technological hazards. However, since most dam failures result from prolonged periods of rainfall, they are often cited as secondary or cascading effects of natural flooding disasters and are not named as the primary hazard that causes disaster declarations. Dam Failure is a hazard recognized to have a predictable vulnerability area. There are eleven high hazard dams in the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy according to the National Inventory of Dams which will be further addressed. (As demonstrated through Maps G-G 11) These dams are located in (and affect) the cities of: Dallas and Irving The following cities are not at risk to a high hazard dam: Cedar Hill, Coppell, Unincorporated Dallas County, DeSoto, Duncanville, Farmers Branch, Lancaster, Rowlett and Sachse. These jurisdictions recognize the need to conduct Dam Inundation Studies and to coordinate with Dam owners to mitigate the affects of Dam Failure. Once the jurisdiction has an understanding of the current safety status of the dam, mitigation action items may be identified and prioritized for future funding consideration. City of Dallas There are several Dams which have been identified as High Hazard according to the National Inventory of Dams. The Cherrybrook Lake Dam is owned by the City of Dallas and subject to Dam Safety Inspections by TCEQ. The city is in the process of developing Operation and Maintenance manuals to assist the Streets and Services Department with maintenance in the future. Currently no serious deficiencies have been found. While there are Safety inspections, a data deficiency has been recognized and action items have been identified on 4- 8. The Woody Branch Detention Basin Dam (also known as the Boulder Park Dam) is owned by the City of Dallas and subject to Dam Safety Inspections by TCEQ. The city is in the process of developing Operation and Maintenance manuals to assist the Streets and Services Department with maintenance in the future. Currently no serious deficiencies have been found. While there are Safety inspections, data deficiency has been recognized and action items have been identified on 4-8 . The Lake Cliff Dam is an earthen embankment topped by Colorado Boulevard, a four-lane collector. This structure is inspected, and maintained by the Street and Services department. No flood analyses have been done and there are no recommendations for improvements. A data deficiency has been recognized and action items have been identified on 4-8. North Central Texas Council of Governments 3-11 Regional Mitigation Strategy White Rock Dam is maintained by the Dallas Water Utilities. An analysis and maintainance program has recently been undertaken. A data deficiency has been recognized and action items have been identified on 4-8. Mountain Creek Dam, North Lake Dam and Prestonwood Dam are privately owned. The jurisdiction recognizes the need to establish a relationship with the owners in order to ensure the citizens safety. A data deficiency has been recognized and action items have been identified on 4-8 . City of Irving While the City of Irving does not have a dam it is assumed that the inundation zone for the North Lake Dam would affect the jurisdictional area for the City of Irving. While the 100/500 year flood zones do not over top the levee at Valley Ranch it is recognized that the inundation zone would exceed the 100/500 year flood zones. The main dam inundation zone travels down the Grapevine Creek and over tops the levee but would not destroy it. The saddle dam inundation zone travels directly into Valley Ranch. A data deficiency has been recognized and action items have been identified on 4-32. Cottonwood Creek Dam is privately owned. The jurisdiction recognizes the need to establish a relationship with the owner in order to ensure the citizens safety. A data deficiency has been recognized and action items have been identified on 4-32. Levee Failure Levees are earthen embankments whose primary purpose is to furnish flood protection from seasonal high water for a few days or weeks a year. Levees are broadly classified as either urban or agricultural because of the different requirements for each. Urban levees provide protection from flooding in communities, including their industrial, commercial, and residential facilities. Agricultural levees provide protection from flooding in lands used for agricultural purposes. Based on information contained in the Corps of Engineers reports; “Upper Trinity River Reconnaissance Report” and 1995 Information Paper – A Benefit-Cost Analysis, Upper Trinity River Basin, Texas, “Natural Disaster Procedures Under PL 84-99 (Supplement A to ER 500-1-1), and various FEMA “Flood Insurance Study” reports, The Trinity River is formed at the confluence of the West Fork and Elm Fork, just to the west of downtown Dallas, and the majority of the levees are located on these conveyances or their major tributaries. The Code of Federal Regulations, 44 CFR Section 65.10, outlines the requirements for mapping areas protected by levee systems. For the purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), FEMA will only recognize in its flood hazard and risk mapping effort those levee systems that meet, and continue to meet, minimum design, operation, and maintenance standards that are consistent with the level of protection from the base flood. The following table displays the Flood Protection Levee Systems in Dallas County, it is based on information shown on FEMA published Flood Insurance Studies and described on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM’s) published for the NCTCOG planning area. FEMA requires that levee systems must be designed, constructed and maintained to the minimum standards of the National Flood Insurance Program and protect to the 100-year flood event before that can be mapped as providing flood protection. See map H for a spatial representation of the levee systems in the Dallas County area. Flood Protection Levee Systems in Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy Levee System County Community West Fork Levee System Tarrant and Dallas Numerous Dallas Floodway (Trinity River) Dallas City of Dallas Irving Flood Control Dist.

However, there is a greater risk of levee failure or levee systems being overtopped for flood events that exceed the base flood event. The three foot freeboard required by FEMA provides a greater safety factor, but major floods of long duration such as the 1993 Mississippi River Flood can result in major damage and potential loss of life. The Information Paper – “A Benefit-Cost Analysis, Upper Trinity River Basin, Texas”, 1995, prepared by the US Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District states that if the Standard Project Flood were to occur (1995) more than 12,000 homes and more than 140 million square feet of commercial property would be damaged, resulting in over $4 billion in flood damages and untold loss of life. While no record could be found of any previous major levee failures in Dallas County the point must be made that increasing development both upstream and downstream of the region’s existing levees are likely to be reducing the flood protection capabilities of these levees even for the base flood event. As a result of recent studies showing the devastating impacts of the Standard Project Flood and because development has likely resulted in incremental reductions in base flood protection capabilities, the risk of a levee failure hazard is sufficient enough to merit mitigation consideration as can be seen in Chapter 4 where each of the participating jurisdictions with Levee Systems have identified Mitigation Action Projects. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Stream bank erosion occurs when development of the contributing watershed results in increased impervious area, reduced infiltration, increased runoff, and increased flood frequencies. These subsequent higher peak flows and velocities impart a greater tractive force on the stream bank, which results in a higher erosion rate that the stable pre-development rate. 3-14 Dallas County Chapter Three Map G Dams Map G.1 North Lake Dam Map G.2 Prestonwood West Dam Map G.3 Rowlett Creek WS SCS Site 7 Dam Map G.4 Cottonwood Creek Lake Dam Segment 1 Map G.5 White Rock Dam Map G.6 Rockwall Forney Dam Map G.7 Lake Cliff Dam Map G.8 Tosch Lake Dam Map G.9 Cherry Brook Lake Dam Map G.10 Mountain Creek Dam Map G.11 Woody Branch Dam The Dam Maps depict High Risk, Substantial Risk, and Low Risk Dams with an overlay of FEMA Q3 Flood Zones.

F1 Moderate tornado 73-112 mph The lower limit is the beginning of hurricane wind speed; peels surface off roofs; mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned; moving autos pushed off the roads; attached garages may be destroyed. F2 Significant tornado 113-157 mph Considerable damage. Roofs torn off frame houses; mobile homes demolished; boxcars pushed over; large trees snapped or uprooted; light object missiles generated. F3 Severe tornado 158-206 mph Roof and some walls torn off well constructed houses; trains overturned; most trees in forest uprooted F4 Devastating tornado 207-260 mph Well-constructed houses leveled; structures with weak foundations blown off some distance; cars thrown and large missiles generated. F5 Incredible tornado 261-318 mph Strong frame houses lifted off foundations and carried considerable distances to disintegrate; automobile sized missiles fly through the air in excess of 100 meters; trees debarked; steel reinforced concrete structures badly damaged. F6 Inconceivable tornado 319-379 mph These winds are very unlikely. The small area of damage they might produce would probably not be recognizable along with the mess produced by F4 and F5 wind that would surround the F6 winds. Missiles, such as cars and refrigerators would do serious secondary damage that could not be directly identified as F6 damage. If this level is ever achieved, evidence for it might only be found in some manner of ground swirl pattern, for it may never be identifiable through engineering studies On February 1, 2007, the Fujita scale was decommissioned in favor of the more accurate Enhanced Fujita Scale, which replaces it. None of the tornadoes recorded on or before January 31, 2007 will be re-categorized. Therefore maintaining the Fujita scale will be necessary when referring to previous events. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujita_scale 3-18 Dallas County Chapter Three The Enhanced Fujita Scale is representative of the damage from tornadoes this community has faced in the past and will no doubt face in the future. For example, according to the National Data Climatic Data Center, in January of 1996 a supercell thunderstorm embedded within a squall line that moved through Dallas County produced 7 short track tornadoes and a downburst in the southern portion of the county. Substantial damage occurred in the Desoto and Lancaster areas with an estimated $1.5 million in damage to businesses, homes and public buildings. An in-depth damage survey revealed 7 individual tracks in Dallas County Enhanced Fujita Scale Enhanced Fujita Category Wind Speed (mph) Potential Damage EF0 65-85 Light damage. Peels surface off some roofs; some damage to gutters or siding; branches broken off trees; shallow-rooted trees pushed over. EF1 86-110 Moderate damage. Roofs severely stripped; mobile homes overturned or badly damaged; loss of exterior doors; windows and other glass broken. EF2 111-135 Considerable damage. Roofs torn off well- constructed houses; foundations of frame homes shifted; mobile homes completely destroyed; large trees snapped or uprooted; light-object missiles generated; cars lifted off ground. EF3 136-165 Severe damage. Entire stories of well-constructed houses destroyed; severe damage to large buildings such as shopping malls; trains overturned; trees debarked; heavy cars lifted off the ground and thrown; structures with weak foundations blown away some distance. EF4 166-200 Devastating damage. Well-constructed houses and whole frame houses completely leveled; cars thrown and small missiles generated. EF5 >200 Incredible damage. Strong frame houses leveled off foundations and swept away; automobile-sized missiles fly through the air in excess of 100 m (109 yd); high-rise buildings have significant structural deformation; North Central Texas Council of Governments 3-19 Regional Mitigation Strategy The Hailstorm Intensity Scale is representative of the damage from hail storms this community has experienced in the past and will likely experience in the future. For example, in April of 2000 a hail storm produced up to 1.75 inches (a size code of H5 with an intensity category of Destructive) in the City of Irving. The Hailstorm Intensity Scale allows planners to gauge past damage and mitigate for future expected damage. Combined NOAA/TORRO Hailstorm Intensity Scales Size Code Intensity Category Typical Hail Diameter (inches) Approximate Size Typical Damage Impacts H0 Hard Hail up to 0.33 Pea No damage H1 Potentially Damaging 0.33-0.60 Marble or Mothball Slight damage to plants, crops H2 Potentially Damaging 0.60-0.80 Dime or grape Significant damage to fruit, crops, vegetation H3 Severe 0.80-1.20 Nickel to Quarter Severe damage to fruit and crops, damage to glass and plastic structures, paint and wood scored H4 Severe 1.2-1.6 Half Dollar to Ping Pong Ball Widespread glass damage, vehicle bodywork damage H5 Destructive 1.6-2.0 Silver dollar to Golf Ball Wholesale destruction of glass, damage to tiled roofs, significant risk of injuries H6 Destructive 2.0-2.4 Lime or Egg Aircraft bodywork dented, brick walls pitted H7 Very destructive 2.4-3.0 Tennis ball Severe roof damage, risk of serious injuries H8 Very destructive 3.0-3.5 Baseball to Orange Severe damage to aircraft bodywork H9 Super Hailstorms 3.5-4.0 Grapefruit Extensive structural damage.

For example, in 2007 a high wind storm of a Beaufort Wind Scale Force 11 (57 knots) was reported as causing damage resulting in $10,000 of structures being damaged or destroyed. The Beaufort Wind Scale allows planners in the community to assess historical data and mitigate for future high wind storms. North Central Texas Council of Governments 3-21 Regional Mitigation Strategy Winter Storm: wind chill, volume of ice, volume of snow; The Wind Chill temperature you have undoubtedly heard of is simply a measure of how cold the wind makes real air temperature feel to the human body. Since wind can dramatically accelerate heat loss from the body, a blustery 30° day would feel just as cold as a calm day with 0° temperatures. The index was created in 1870, and on November 1, 2001, the National Weather Service released a more scientifically accurate equation, which we use today. Here is a chart for calculating wind chill. (Please note that it is not applicable in calm winds or when the temperature is over 50°.) Source: National Weather Service and NOAA The Wind Chill Chart displays the Frostbite Times in regards to Temperature and Wind. This chart allows the communities to prepare for Severe Winter Storm or an Ice event. These events are infrequent but can cause damage. The primary areas of concern are on bridges and roadways. For example, according to the National Climatic Data Center, in February of 1996 A cold arctic air mass that spread into North Texas (including Dallas County) on the 1st was overriden by warm, moist air as a strong upper level disturbance approached from New Mexico. Rain, freezing rain and sleet developed over the area. As the cold air deepened, all the precipitation turned to snow. By midday on the 2nd, the entire North Texas area (including Dallas County) had received a coating of ice and much of the region additionally received 1 to 3 inches of snow. Thousands of automobile accidents resulted in numerous indirect injuries and several indirect deaths. It is expected for Severe Winter Storms and Ice to be a hazard in the future, this Wind Chill Chart allows the planning communities to prepare and mitigate for the hazard. 3-22 Dallas County Chapter Three Summer Heat Source: http://www.ima.army.mil/southwest/sites/divisions/Safety/Heat%20Index.gif The Heat Index chart displays the relative danger in regards to Air Temperature and Relative Humidity. Extreme Heat is a hazard this community has faced in the past and will no doubt face in future summer time seasons and the combination of high temperatures and high humidity’s prompt heat Advisory’s. For example, in August of 2007 high temperatures were over 100 degrees with heat index values reaching 110-115 degrees. This resulted in one death and several heat related illnesses. This chart allows communities to assess the citizen’s danger in regards to Heat Index. North Central Texas Council of Governments 3-23 Regional Mitigation Strategy Drought: Palmer Index Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) In 1965, Palmer developed an index to "measure the departure of the moisture supply". Palmer based his index on the supply-and-demand concept of the water balance equation, taking into account more than only the precipitation deficit at specific locations. The objective of the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), as this index is now called, was to provide a measurement of moisture conditions that were "standardized" so that comparisons using the index could be made between locations and between months. The Palmer Drought Index is based on precipitation and temperature. The Palmer index can therefore be applied to any site for which sufficient precipitation and temperature data is available. The Palmer Index varies roughly between -4.0 and +4.0. Weekly Palmer Index values are calculated for the Climate Divisions during every growing season and are on the World Wide Web from the Climate Prediction Center. Source: http://drought.unl.edu/whatis/indices.htm Drought conditions do occur in this community. The last event was during a widespread Drought in 2006. The PDSI Classification allows community planners to anticipate the effects of Drought and plan preparedness and mitigation activities for future events as they will likely occur. PDSI Classifications for Dry and Wet Periods 4.00 or more Extremely wet 3.00 to 3.99 Very wet 2.00 to 2.99 Moderately wet 1.00 to 1.99 Slightly wet 0.50 to 0.99 Incipient wet spell 0.49 to -0.49 Near normal -0.50 to -0.99 Incipient dry spell -1.00 to -1.99 Mild drought -2.00 to -2.99 Moderate drought -3.00 to -3.99 Severe drought -4.00 or less Extreme drought 3-24 Dallas County Chapter Three Flood Zones The 100-year or Base Floodplain. There are six types of A zones: A The base floodplains mapped by approximate methods, i.e., BFEs are not determined. This is often called an unnumbered A zone or an approximate A zone. A1-30 These are known as numbered A zones (e.g., A7 or A14). This is the base floodplain where the firm shows a BFE (old format). AE The base floodplain where base flood elevations are provided. AE zones are now used on new format FIRMs instead of A1-30 zones. AO The base floodplain with sheet flow, ponding, or shallow flooding. Base flood depths (feet above ground) are provided. AH Shallow flooding base floodplain. BFE's are provided. A99 Area to be protected from base flood by levees or Federal flood protection systems under construction. BFEs are not determined. Zone A AR The base floodplain that results from the de-certification of a previously accredited flood protection system that is in the process of being restored to provide a 100-year or greater level of flood protection V The coastal area subject to velocity hazard (wave action) where BFEs are not determined on the FIRM. Zone V and VE VE The coastal area subject to velocity hazard (wave action) where BFEs are provided on the FIRM. Zone B and Zone X (shaded) Area of moderate flood hazard, usually the area between the limits of the 100-year and the 500-year floods. B zones are also used to designate base floodplains or lesser hazards, such as areas protected by levees from the 100-year flood, or shallow flooding areas with average depths of less than one foot or drainage areas less than 1 square mile. Zone C and Zone X (unshaded) Area of minimal flood hazard, usually depiction FIRMs as exceeding the 500-year flood level. Zone C may have ponding and local drainage problems that do not warrant a detailed study or designation as base floodplain. Zone X is the area determined to be outside the 500-year flood. Zone D Area of undetermined but possible flood hazards. Flood hazard areas are identified as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 1-percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100-year flood. SFHAs are labeled as Zone A, Zone V, and Zone VE, Moderate flood hazard areas, labeled Zone B or Zone X are the areas between the limits of the base flood and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance (or 500-year) flood. The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are defined as Zone C or Zone X. These flood zone identifications allow planners to determine appropriate Landuse in designated zones. The planning communities are participants in the National Flood Insurance Program and actively take measures to plan Landuse. The communities are subject to flash flooding hazards such as the event in 2000 which resulted in one fatality and $25,000 in property damage. North Central Texas Council of Governments 3-25 Regional Mitigation Strategy 3.4 Previous Events Data The following table is the previous events data according to the National Climatic Data Center reported in Dallas County, Texas between 01/01/1950 and 03/31/2007. For those hazards which have the potential to affect the county equally all data provided by the National Climatic Data Center has been included. The belief is that hazards do not stay within jurisdictional boundaries and thus it is important to be aware of occurrences that have impacted neighboring jurisdictions to further assess the DaLMS participating jurisdictions risks. Stream Bank Erosion There is no recorded information or known history on previous occurrence/history of Stream Bank Erosion within Dallas County. Dam Failure There is no recorded information or known history on previous occurrence/history of Dam Failure within Dallas County. Levee Failure The known Levee Failure history: In 1991, a levee breach occurred in unincorporated Dallas County near Beltline and Bilindsay S of Malloy Bridge Road that caused a damaged roadway, homes, and caused three drowning deaths. The Levee is privately owned and property owner is responsible for maintenance.

Structures located in the 500 Year Flood Zone will be assessed further for potential mitigation action items to protect the property from flooding events. A cost-benefit analysis will be conducted and mitigation action items will be chosen based upon effectiveness of protection to life and property as well as the jurisdictions ability to serve the community. Identifying vulnerability and the types and numbers of existing and future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in other identified hazard areas is not known at this time but will be achieved through mitigation measures. Estimating Potential Dollar Loss Each participating jurisdiction will develop a methodology for estimating the potential dollar loss of the existing buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the identified and future identified hazard areas. Analyzing Development Trends Each participating jurisdiction in the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy has city zoning ordinances which establish a land development trend of building outside of the flood plains. Mitigation measures and the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy will continue to be used and assessed in future city plan development. ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ññ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ ñ < < < < < < < < < a aa a a a a a a a a a < a a a a < < a aa< < < a a < < a < a < < < << < < < < < < < < << < < < < < < < < << < < < < < < < < < < < < < < << < < < << < < < <a aa < < a a < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < << < < < < < < < < << < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < << < < < < << < < < < < a a < < < < < a a a ñ a < a a a a aa a a a ñ a< < a ñ ña < añ < < < a ñ a a ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

In coincidence with the anniversary date, annually NCTCOG EP will solicit monitoring reports from participating jurisdictions. The reports will include progress on the implementation of the strategy and mitigation actions. For the purpose of monitoring each jurisdiction’s representative will tour mitigation sites, report on the project schedule, and its’ implementation. Evaluating The mitigation plan will be evaluated annually, coinciding with the anniversary date; NCTCOG EP department will function as the coordinating point of contact for the participating jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction will evaluate their data in effort to take into account vulnerabilities which have changed and to ensure that goals and objectives are kept current. The plan will be evaluated by the following criteria: Is the natural hazard analysis accurate? Are the goals and objectives being met through mitigation projects or other city planning mechanisms? Are the mitigation projects identified relevant to current resources and situation? Are mitigation projects being effectively implemented? Is the hazard mitigation plan being incorporated into other city planning processes? What are the results of public comments? Updating Prior to the five-year anniversary and in accordance with 44 CFR Section 201.6 the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy will be updated. The update process will be conducted by NCTCOG EP department. NCTCOG EP department will utilize the annual monitoring and evaluation reports to make changes to the mitigation plan, vulnerability analysis, goals, and action items. Participating jurisdictions will meet twice to discuss the success and changes to the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy and after an opportunity for public comment, the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy will then be resubmitted for update approval. Plan Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms The participating jurisdictions in the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy recognize the importance of incorporating mitigation activities throughout city planning efforts. Other local planning mechanisms have been identified to include; Building codes, Planning and Zoning Ordinances, Fire Codes, NFIP, and Capital Improvement Plans. During annual evaluations of the identified planning mechanisms the Local Mitigation Strategy’s Goals and Mitigation Action Items will be taken into consideration. During strategic planning cycles, members from the Hazard Mitigation Teams will be available to provide data and input as the County Commissioner’s Court and City Councils provide direction as to what areas of public safety and hazard mitigation they would like to see addressed and funded. By funding mitigation strategies each year through normal and CIP processes, it is hoped that future impacts of hazards can be lessened, saving lives and money for the Cities and Citizens in the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy. The Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy participants currently have an Emergency Operation Plan. The DaLMS will support Annex P: Hazard Mitigation of the EOP for future submissions. DaLMS participants will be adopting the approved plan and will incorporate it into their existing local plans used for zoning and land use. All participants will follow local laws and guidelines when incorporating the DaLMS in their existing plans that are relevant to Hazard Mitigation. Each incorporating mechanism will follow their local laws or guidelines necessary for implementation through open forum public meetings. Each participant will monitor the incorporation into other planning mechanisms and report the success or failure in the annual report to NCTCOG EP. With each update, all participants will be informed of the changes. Also, the DaLMS will be incorporated into the State of Texas Hazard Mitigation Plan through the risk assessment and mitigation strategies during their updating process every three years. 5-2 Dallas County Chapter Five1 For example, the City of Lancaster will take into consideration the identified mitigation goals and projects during funding allocation and review of the Capitol Improvement Plan. The DaLMS risk assessment and mitigation goals will be reviewed and implemented as appropriate when the City of Farmer’s Branch updates Building and Zoning Ordinances. During City Ordinance reviews the City of Cedar Hill will review the DaLMS goals and objectives to be implemented as appropriate. During the annual review of the City of Duncanville’s Capitol Improvement Plan the city will incorporate mitigation goals and projects as appropriate to budget approval. Continued Public Involvement The Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy recognizes the importance of public input for plan success. To continue to engage the public in the planning process, the completed Hazard Mitigation Action Plan will be posted on the NCTCOG Emergency Preparedness website as well as participating jurisdiction’s websites. The Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy will also be on file for public review at the City Libraries. The public will be encouraged to review the planning document and provide comments to the appropriate Emergency Management Coordinator. With each plan update, a public hearing will be held to seek comment from interested citizens and business owners relating to the Dallas County Local Mitigation Strategy. The public comments are an important asset in mitigation planning as it allows the Hazard Mitigation Teams to gauge where the community finds hazard vulnerability and need for mitigation. Public comments will be used to make appropriate changes and guide direction in implementing mitigation strategies.
