Section1. IntroductionHazardmitigationisanysustainedactiontoreduceoreliminatelong-termrisktohumanlifeandpropertyfromhazards.TheFederalEmergencyManagementAgency(FEMA)makesreducinghazardsoneofitsprimary goals; hazard-mitigation planning and the subsequent implementation ofmitigation projects,measures,andpoliciesisaprimarymechanisminachievingFEMA’sgoal.

TheMulti-HazardMitigationPlan(MHMP)isarequirementoftheFederalDisasterMitigationActof2000(DMA2000).Thedevelopmentofalocalgovernmentplanisrequiredinordertomaintaineligibilityforcertain federal disaster assistanceandhazardmitigation fundingprograms. Inorder for theNationalFloodInsuranceProgram(NFIP)communitiestobeeligibleforfuturemitigationfunds,theymustadoptanMHMP.

Inrecognitionoftheimportanceofplanninginmitigationactivities,FEMAcreatedHazusMulti-Hazard(Hazus-MH),apowerfulgeographic informationsystem(GIS)-baseddisasterriskassessmenttool. Thistoolenablescommunitiesofallsizestoestimatelossesfromfloods,hurricanes,earthquakes,andothernaturalhazardsandtomeasuretheimpactofvariousmitigationpracticesthatmighthelpreducethoselosses.TheIllinoisEmergencyManagementAgency(IEMA)hasdeterminedthatHazus-MHshouldplayacriticalroleintheriskassessmentsperformedinIllinois.

BooneCountycompletedtheirpreviousMulti-HazardMitigationPlanin2014.Throughoutthefive-yearplanningcycle,theBooneEmergencyManagementAgencyandMitigationPlanningTeamreconvenedtomonitor,evaluate,andupdatetheplanonanannualbasis.SouthernIllinoisUniversityCarbondale(SIU)and Boone County have joined efforts in updating the County’smitigation plan. The update processaddressedchangesintheprobabilityandimpactofspecifichazardstothecounty,aswellaschangesinland-use, population, and demographics. The plan incorporates detailed GIS and Hazus-MH Level 2analyses to improve the risk assessment, and finally revised and updatedmitigation strategies.

2 .1 T imel ine TheMHMPupdateprocessisbrokenintoaseriesoffourmeetings.ThesemeetingswereorganizedbySIUandhostedby theBooneEmergencyManagementAgency.At thesemeetings,various taskswerecompletedbySIUandtheBooneMitigationPlanningTeam.

Meeting 1: Introduction of the MHMP process and organize resources. SIU gathered localresources thatcontributed to thedetailedcounty riskassessmentandpresented thecounty’shistorical hazards. Basedon this information, thePlanning Team identifiednatural hazards toincludeintheplan,andrankedhazardmitigationprioritybypotentialdamagesandfrequencyofoccurrence.Meeting 2: The aim of meeting 2 is development of mitigation strategies for the variousjurisdictionsbasedonidentifiedneedsandtheinformedbyhazardrankingsderivedfrommeeting1.FEMArequirestheplantocontainmitigationstrategiesspecifictoeachhazardandforeachincorporatedareawithinthecounty.ThismeetingwasintendedforthethirdweekofMarch2020.However,duetotheCOVID-19response,theformalassemblywasunabletotakeplace.Inlieuofthis, SIU (Dr. James Conder) and theBooneCounty EMAdirector (Dan Zaccard) had a formalphone call onApril 6, discussingprevious and futuremitigation strategies for the county. SIUpresented options for funding implementation of different mitigation strategies, including awrittenguide. Itwasdecided that the countyEMAwouldworkdirectlywith theparticipatingjurisdictions tohelpdevelop their respectivemitigationstrategies.Thiswasachievedover thesubsequentweeks.ThePlanningTeamlentlocalknowledgetoidentifyandprioritizemitigationstrategiesandprojectsthatcanaddressthethreats identified inthepreviouslydevelopedriskassessments.

Meeting3:Theaimofmeetingthreeistoinvitepublicinvolvement.Again,becauseoftheCOVID-19crisis,thiscouldnottakeplaceasaformalassembly. In lieuofaformalassembly,theplanincludingdraftriskassessmentsderivedfromtheHazus-MHandGISmodelingoftheidentifieddisastersandmitigationsstrategiesidentifiedbytheplanningteamwerepostedontheCountywebsiteforcommentand/orquestions.Inadditiontothewebsiteitself,thegeneralpublicwasnotified of the week-long comment period through various social media and a newspaperannouncement.Thegatheredpublicinputwasutilizedintheplanningprocess,fulfillingoneofFEMA’srequirementsforpublicinput.Meeting4: ThePlanningTeamreviewedthedraftplanand,proposedrevisions,andacceptedtheplanafterSIUincorporatedthenecessarychanges.ThiswasaccomplishedviaemailwithSIUandtheCountyEMAactingascontactpointsforeditupdates.Subsequently,SIUforwardedthecountyMHMPtothemitigationstaffattheIllinoisEmergencyManagementAgency(IEMA)forreviewpriortosubmittingittoFEMA.

4.3 Risk Ana lys i s

4.3.1 GISandHazus-MHThe third step in the risk assessment is the risk analysis,which quantifies the risk to the population,infrastructure, and economyof the community. The hazardswere quantified usingGIS analyses andHazus-MHwherepossible.ThisprocessreflectsaLevel2Hazus-MHanalysis.Alevel2Hazus-MHanalysisinvolvessubstitutingselectedHazus-MHdefaultdatawithlocaldataandimprovingtheaccuracyofmodelpredictions.

UpdatestothedefaultHazus-MHdatainclude:• Updating the Hazus-MH defaults, critical facilities, and essential facilities based on the most

recentavailabledatasources.• Reviewing,revising,andverifyinglocationsofcriticalandessentialpointfacilitieswithlocalinput.• Applying the essential facility updates (schools, medical care facilities, fire stations, police

stations,andEOCs)totheHazus-MHmodeldata.• UpdatingHazus-MHreportsofessentialfacilitylosses.

Thefollowingassumptionsweremadeduringanalysis:

• Hazus-MHaggregatedatawasusedtomodelthebuildingexposureforallearthquakeanalyses.ItisassumedthattheaggregatedataisanaccuraterepresentationofBoone.

• The analyses were restricted to the county boundaries. Events that occur near the countyboundariesdonotcontaindamageassessmentsfromadjacentcounties.

• For each tax-assessment parcel, it is assumed there is only one building that bares all theassociatedvalues(bothstructureandcontent).

4.3.2 EarthquakeHazard

HazardDefinitionAnearthquakeistheshakingoftheearthcausedbytheenergyreleasedwhenlargeblocksofrockslippast each other in the earth’s crust. While most earthquakes occur at tectonic plate boundaries,earthquakescanoccuranywherewithinatectonicplate.

Strong earthquakes can collapse buildings and infrastructure, disrupt utilities, and trigger landslides,avalanches, flash floods, fires,andtsunamis. Whenanearthquakeoccurs inapopulatedarea, itmaycausedeath, injury,andextensivepropertydamage. Anearthquakemightdamageessential facilities,suchasfiredepartments,policedepartments,andhospitals,disruptingemergencyresponseservicesintheaffectedarea. Strongearthquakesmayalso requiremass relocation;however, relocationmaybeimpossible in the short-term aftermath of a significant event due to damaged transportationinfrastructureandpubliccommunicationsystems.

Earthquakesareusuallymeasuredby twocriteria: intensityandmagnitude (M). Earthquake intensityqualitativelymeasures thestrengthofshakingproducedbyanearthquakeatacertain locationand isdetermined fromeffects onpeople, structures, and thenatural environment. Earthquakemagnitudequantitatively measures the energy released at the earthquake’s subsurface source in the crust, orepicenter. Magnitude in the earthquake hazard analysis. Table 4-EQ1 provides a comparison ofmagnitudeand intensity,andTable4-EQ2providesqualitativedescriptionsof intensity, forasenseofwhatagivenmagnitudemightfeellike.

Duringadrought,thetypesofpotentiallyimpactedinfrastructureincluderoadways,utilitylines/pipes,railroads,andbridges. Therisktothesestructuresisprimarilyassociatedwithfire,whichcouldresultfrom hot, dry conditions. Since the county’s entire infrastructure is vulnerable, damage to anyinfrastructure ispossible. The impacts to these items include: impassable roadways;brokenor failedutility lines (e.g., loss of poweror gas to community); or impassable railways. Bridges couldbecomeimpassable,causingrisktomotorists.

CommunityRatingSystemStatus


The CRS is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplainmanagement activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. As a result, flood insurancepremium rates arediscounted to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from the community actionsmeetingthethreegoalsoftheCRS:(1)reducefloodlosses;(2)facilitateaccurateinsurancerating;and(3)promotetheawarenessoffloodinsurance. Morethan1,200communitiesfromall50statesparticipateintheCRS.InIllinois,51communitiesparticipateintheCRS.AlthoughjoiningtheCRSisfree,completingCRS activities andmaintain a CRS rating will require a degree of commitment from the community,includingdedicatingstaff.

5.1.4 FireInsuranceRatingsByclassifyingcommunities'abilitytosuppressfires,theInsuranceServiceOffice(ISO)PublicProtectionClassification Program helps communities evaluate their public fire-protection services. The programprovides a countrywide standard that helps fire departments in planning and budgeting for facilities,equipment, and training. Information is collected onmunicipal fire-protection efforts in communitiesthroughouttheUnitedStates.Ineachofthosecommunities,ISOanalyzestherelevantdatausingaFireSuppression Rating Schedule. Ratings are assigned from 1 to 10 where Class 1 generally representssuperiorpropertyfireprotection,andClass10indicatesthatthearea'sfire-suppressionprogramdoesn'tmeetISO’sminimumcriteria.Table5-6displayseachFireDepartment’sinsuranceratingandtotalnumberofemployees.
