PPD-8

Presidential Policy Directive 8 PDD-8 calls on federal departments and agencies to work with the whole community to develop a national preparedness goal and series of frameworks and plans for reaching that goal.

Risk Assessment Steps

1. Identifying Hazards 2. Profile Hazard Events 3. Inventory Assets and Population (Impact and Vulnerability Assessment) 4. Estimate Losses 5. Describe Land Uses and Development Trends 6. Form Conclusions (Determine Acceptability)

Six elements of PPD-8

1. National Preparedness Goal 2. National Preparedness System 3. National Planning Framework and 4. Federal Interagency Operational Plans 5. Annual National Preparedness Report 6. Ongoing effort to build and sustain preparedness.

National Preparedness Goals: 5 Mission Areas

1. Prevention 2. Protection 3. Mitigation 4. Response 5. Recovery

PDM project examples

1. Property Acquisition and Relocation 2. Structure Elevation 3. Dry Floodproofing 4. Wildfire Mitigation 5. Mitigation Planning 6. Safe room / Community Shelter 7. Seismic retrofit

National Preparedness Report

Provides a summary of the Nation's progress in "building, sustaining, and delivering the 31 core capabilities outlined in the National Preparedness Goal"

Stafford Act

1988 Constitutes the statutory authority for most Federal disaster response activities, especially as they pertain to FEMA

FMA Program Grants

3 types of grants Planning grants Project grants Management cost grants

Resilient Community

A community or region developed to minimize the social, environmental, and economic losses and disruption caused by disasters. Works with natural systems to advance disaster prevention.

Multi-jurisdictional Plan

A plan created by several communities in conjunction with one another. Usually coordinated at the county level

Single Jurisdiction Plan

A plan created independently by one jurisdiction

National Preparedness Goal

A secure and resilient nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk

Probability

A statistical measure of the likelihood that a hazard will occur

Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000

Amends Stafford Act. Goal to facilitate cooperation and coordination between state and local authorities. -Requires local mitigation plans to receive some relief funds -Promotes pre-disaster planning and sustainability

Risk Assessment

Analyzing the potential losses associated with a hazard through expected probability and frequency, exposure, and consequences.

BCA

Benefit Cost Analysis Quantitative procedure that assesses the desirability of a hazard mitigation project by taking a long-term view of avoided future damages to insurable structures as compared to the cost of the project

CRS

Community Rating System Provides reduced NFIP premiums to policyholders in communities that undertake specified measures to reduce flood hazard risk

EOP

Emergency Operations Plan A plan guiding emergency responders when prompt and effective response actions are needed 1. Emergency Assessment 2. Hazard Operations 3. Population Protection 4. Incident Management

Project Impact

Created to bring communities together to take actions that prepare and protect against disasters collaboratively. 4 Initiatives: 1. Identify and build constructive partnerships within communities. 2. Identify and examine potential risks for disasters. 3. Guides communities with targeting financial resources. 4. Emphasized community resilience.

Vulnerability Assessment

Factors in the existing populations and properties with the potential damage and injury the hazard may cause in a given area and intensity.

FMA Program

Flood Mitigation Assistance Program Created to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to buildings, manufactured homes, and other structures covered under NFIP.

Mitigation Goals

General guidelines that describe what the community hopes to achieve. They're usually broad, long term, policy-type statements that represent a global vision. Ex. Reduce community vulnerability to flooding

Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs

HMGP Provides an impacted state with up to 15% of the total disaster grants awarded by FEMA (Max of 2 billion). Program provides up to 75% Federal funding 25% paid by the applicant State must have an approved hazard mitigation plan Be in good standing with NFIP

Disaster Exercises

Helps to validate capabilities under the National Preparedness System to identify gaps, see progress toward meeting preparedness goals, and to see if activities are working as intended.

BCR

Includes the qualitative benefits of implementing a particular action. Ex. Quality of life, natural benefits, etc.

NFIP

National Flood Insurance Program Offers federally backed flood insurance for participating communities. Offers: 1. Floodplain identification and mapping 2. Floodplain management 3. Flood Insurance

Preparedness vs. Mitigation

Preparedness ensures that, if a disaster happens people are ready to respond safely and effectively. Its a "State of Readiness" to respond Mitigation is any action taken to reduce or eliminate any long-term risks to people and property from hazards and their effects

Pre-disaster Mitigation

PDM The Federal Government provides 75% of funding for mitigation activities State/local provides the other 25%

Local and State plan update cycles

Plans must be updated every 5 years

RFC

Repetitive Flood Claims Program attempts to reduce flood loss to individual properties for which one or more claims through NFIP Program. To be eligible, one or more flood loss claims through NFIP.

Severe Repetitive Loss Properties

Residential properties with 4+ NFIP payments over $5,000, (cumulatively over $20,000) Or at least 2 separate claims that exceed the market value of the property.

SLOSH

Sea, Lakes, Overland, Surges, and Hurricanes Model -computerized model by NWS used to estimate storm surge depths of past, present, or predicted hurricanes. -Considers storm pressure, size, wind speed, forecasted track, and topographical data.

STAPLE/E

Social Technical Administrative Political Legal Economical Environmental

Mitigation Actions

Specific proposals for reaching mitigation goals. They should articulate how goals will be attained. Ex. Use goats to assist in clearing overgrown areas

(Joe) SHMO
