Among its primary missions, the Strategy serves as a basis for comprehensive mitigation planning, project identification and prioritization, and provides assistance to project sponsors in securing and allocating available federal, state, local and other disaster mitigation assistance funds. LMS projects cover a range of topics including major drainage improvement projects, hardening of public structures, Emergency Operation Center purchases, etc. The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2000) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) require communities to adopt a hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible to receive pre-disaster and post-disaster federal funding for mitigation purposes. Accordingly, Palm Beach County and its 37 municipalities coordinated a public process to revise and amend the Unified Local Mitigation Strategy to bring it into compliance with the federal guidelines established in response to the DMA2000. As a result, the LMS closely adheres to guidelines and criteria provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Florida Department of Community Affairs. The Recovery & Mitigation section of Palm Beach County Division of Emergency Management provides administrative and technical support to the LMS and serves as the primary liaison with state and federal offices on LMS matters. 1.0 PURPOSE AND PROGRAM ORGANIZATION The Palm Beach County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) was formally adopted by the county, municipalities, and the LMS Steering Committee in 1999. Initial development of the LMS was funded, in part, by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (FDCA) with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds earmarked for the development of comprehensive hazard mitigation planning. The LMS was established and continues to operate in accordance with prevailing federal, state and local guidelines and requirements. In 2004 the plan and program were substantially modified to improve operational effectiveness and to comply with new federal guidelines established in response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of the Palm Beach County LMS is to develop and execute an ongoing unified strategy for reducing the community's vulnerability to identified natural, technological and societal hazards. The strategy provides a rational, managed basis for considering and prioritizing hazard-specific mitigation options and for developing and executing sound, cost- effective mitigation projects. The LMS also provides a basis for justifying the solicitation and use of local, state, federal and other monies to support hazard mitigation projects and initiatives. 1.1 PROGRAM ORGANIZATION 1.1.1 Original LMS Structure The original LMS structure consisted of three levels; (1) the larger body of public agencies, non- profit organizations, private institutions, and members of the public at large interested in participation in LMS activities, (2) the Steering Committee, and (3) subcommittees. The Steering Committee, the policy and decision body of the LMS, consisted exclusively of designated representatives from the county and the 37 municipal jurisdictions. Voting rights were restricted to one officially designated primary member and two alternates from each jurisdiction. Each jurisdiction had one vote on LMS matters and a quorum vote was required for Steering Committee approval. Written notice from the manager/mayor of the jurisdictional governing body to the Chair of the LMS Steering Committee or to the Director, Palm Beach County Division of Emergency Management was required to designate new voting members. While jurisdictions could have multiple voting representatives present at any Local Mitigation Strategy meeting, each jurisdiction was limited to one vote. While voting on important LMS issues was restricted as described above, attendance and participation in general meetings was open to the community at large. An LMS Chair and Vice Chair were elected every other year, Unlimited successive two year terms were permissible at the will of the Steering Committee. 1- 1 The LMS Chair was authorized to establish standing or ad hoc subcommittees as needed to further the goals and objectives of the LMS. Four subcommittees were established in the early stages of the LMS to assist with initial program and plan development. They included: The Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis Subcommittee, the Outreach and Education Subcommittee, and the Financial and Legal Issues Subcommittee. Over the course of the project, the Outreach and Education subcommittee evolved and changed its name to the Community Rating System (CRS) Subcommittee to reflect its growing focus on CRS outreach and education and other CRS issues. The Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis subcommittee and Financial and Legal Issues subcommittees gradually became inactive as the LMS matured, but were subject to reactivation if future needs warranted. A fifth subcommittee, the Update/Review Subcommittee, was created to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the LMS and recommend changes to ensure the LMS plan remained current, compliant, focused, and responsive to community interests and needs. An additional standing subcommittee, the Evaluation Panel was established specifically to review, score and prioritize LMS mitigation projects submitted by LMS steering committee members and other partner organizations in accordance with guidelines, procedures and criteria developed early in the program. Under the original project prioritization process, the Panel prepared and submitted Prioritized Project Lists (PPLs) to the Steering Committee for approval and adoption twice a year. With FEMA's issuance of new funding criteria based largely on benefit-cost justifications the role and skill requirements of the Evaluation Panel has to be reexamined. 1.1.2 Revised LMS Structure In July 2003, the Update/Review Subcommittee was reconstituted as an Administrative Subcommittee with the broader mission of providing guidance and assistance necessary to bring the plan and program into compliance with the new federal guidelines and criteria established in response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations. This process is explained in Section 1.2.4. The group met numerous times over the course of an 18 month period to review FEMA's feedback, expectations and requirements, develop plans and strategies for the revision process, and monitor and review plan revisions. The group's charter was eventually expanded to include taking a critical look at the effectiveness of the overall LMS program. A number of important recommendations and actions emerged from this later responsibility. Among the Committee's observations were the following: . The LMS Steering Committee, composed of 38 members, was considered too large and unwieldy to serve as an effective policy and decision body . Although the county had many active mitigation programs and initiatives, too often they functioned as independent, uncoordinated activities . Greater attention needed to be given to ensuring mitigation projects were cost-effective and focused on threat-specific mitigation priorities and strategies . Here-to-for the LMS had failed to effectively tap the county's vast resources and expert- rich public and private sectors. 1- 2 . The LMS had not adequately explored and used non-traditional sources for potential mitigation funding assistance . Many of the county's jurisdictions, particularly the smaller municipalities, lack the In. house technical resources, funds, and expertise necessary to effectively execute FEMA's mandated Benefit-Cost analyses . The plan revision process afforded an excellent opportunity to also reconsider and revamp the LMS program structure and operating philosophy, and . The increased competition for scarce mitigation assistance funds would undoubtedly place a premium on optimizing program efficiency and responsiveness In response to these and other considerations, in June 2004 the LMS voted unanimously to adopt and phase into implementation a number of significant program changes and enhancements proposed by the Administrative Subcommittee. Among the executed and/or planned actions are the following: LMS Steerinq Committee Effective July 2004, the LMS Steering Committee was reduced from thirty-seven members to fifteen members... comprised of: seven municipal representatives, two county/local government representatives, one state/federal government representative, one university/college representative, one healthcare industry representative, one non-profit representative, and two representatives from the private sector. The Steering Committee serves as the Local Mitigation Strategy program board of directors. As such, it is the primary decision and policy body for LMS sponsored mitigation activity. LMS Workinq Group The LMS Working Group is the full working body of the LMS, comprised of a broad cross- section of public sector and private sector organizations and individuals, including the general public. The Working Group serves as an umbrella organization for coordinating all mitigation programs and activities, supplies the staffing and expertise for the standing and ad hoc committees of the LMS, and is the primary mechanism and forum for exchanging information and mobilizing the vast expertise and resources of the community. Standinq Committees At this writing, plans called for establishing a number of standing LMS committees for the purpose of facilitating, bolstering, and supporting LMS activities. These include: . Evaluation Panel, designated to review, evaluate, score and rank mitigation projects applying established local, state and federal prioritization processes and criteria . Flood Mitiqation Committee - Technical Advisory Subcommittee, comprised of flood mitigation experts from public and private sector organizations, is charged with assessing county-wide flood risks and vulnerabilities without regard to jurisdictional boundaries and recommending flood mitigation priorities, strategies, plans and projects for LMS consideration and action. . Flood Mitiqation Committee - CRS Outreach Subcommittee, comprised of representatives from the county's 26 CRS communities, who collaborate on a full range of Outreach Projects Strategy (OPS) initiatives and promote CRS participation 1- 3 . Proiect Support Committee - FundinQ Support, comprised of public and private-sector individuals experienced with grant applications and funding sources, who will support the LMS by: identifying and researching potential funding sources; advising members on application requirements, schedules and processes; monitoring fund availability, etc. . Proiect Support Committee - Application Support, comprised of technical and administrative experts who, as available and upon request, will provide project applicants (particularly those from smaller jurisdictions) advice, guidance and assistance on the preparation of project applications and benefit-cost calculations. Ad Hoc Committees In addition, a number of ad hoc committees are expected to be mobilized as needs arise. These committees include: . Membership Committee, charged with identifying and recruiting LMS members, supporting and facilitating the staffing of committees, assisting with the preparation and implementation of LMS and committee promotional activities, and supporting the development and nurturing of mitigation-relevant public-private partnerships. . StrateQv Development Committee, charged with facilitating the development of hazard- specific mitigation strategies and articulating them in actionable terms for potential project sponsors. . Special Interest Hazard Mitiaation Committee, charged with facilitating mitigation strategies for location-specific and special interest hazard areas such as coastal communities, agricultural communities, wildfire-urban interface communities, the business sector, etc. and with assisting in identifying special funding sources. . Wind Hazards Committee, charged with facilitating the development of wind-related mitigation strategies, projects and special programs (e.g. shutter acquisition and shutter installation programs for the elderly, handicapped, and economically disadvantaged) . Plan Revision Committee, charged with monitoring the LMS plan for compliance, assisting the Palm Beach County Division of Emergency Management staff with cross- walks and FEMA feedback, assisting the linkage between LMS and other local plans, and supporting plan updates and revisions . Administrative Committee, originally established to facilitate and assist the LMS plan revision process in response to the new federal guidelines evolving from DMA2000. The committee was also charged with serving as an interim decision body for the LMS until the Steering Committee was formally organized and functioning. 1.3 LMS PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS Since the Unified Local Mitigation Strategy is written directly from input from all meetings, it is important to make sure that the entire Palm Beach County community is represented. The following groups are invited to all Local Mitigation Strategy meetings. Each group has different circumstances involving participation requirements; however, all groups are ardently encouraged to participate in the planning process. Jurisdictions In order to retain voting rights, to qualify for federal mitigation assistance consideration, and to otherwise remain a member in good standing, all jurisdictions are expected to conform to the following standards: 1- 4 . Participation of the voting representative or officially designated alternate( s) in three (3 i out of four (4) Steering Committee meetings where plan revisions will be addressed; . Consecutive absences will be cause for disqualification for the LMS, subject to appeal and review by the LMS Chair. All rights and privileges will be terminated during a period of disqualification and formal reapplication; . Participation in subcommittee meetings may be substituted for Steering Committee attendance in meeting the 3 out of 4 rule pending approval by the Chair; . Subject to pre-meeting and post-meeting roll calls, participation in special conference call meetings of the Steering Committee or subcommittees will be credited for purposes of participation; and . Have a dully executed resolution adopting the revised LMS plan on file with the county and the LMS. In order for a jurisdiction to be eligible for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) and Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) funding programs, they must have an adopted resolution/interlocal agreement adopting the revised LMS on file with the LMS and have participated in the revision process. Appendix H will include the Board of County Commissioners agenda item summary along with a copy of all executed adoption resolutions. Appendix I includes meeting summaries along with attendance lists documenting participation in the revision process and ensuring compliance with participation rules.. Non-Governmental Orqanizations (NGO's) and other Governmental Entities In order to qualify for LMS grant sponsorship, NGO's and other governmental entities must: . Have an dully executed letter of commitment to the LMS on file with the county and LMS; and . In the judgment of the LMS Steering Committee, actively participate in and otherwise support LMS activities. The Public and Private Sector The Palm Beach County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy believes broad community support, including ongoing public and private sector involvement, is critical to the success of the program. While participation by private organizations and the general public is strictly voluntary, their attendance, comments, contributions, and support are actively invited, sought, monitored and fully documented. In order to promote the opportunity for broad participation, at a minimum, notices and agendas for all general meetings of the LMS are posted through some combination of the following: newspaper ads or public service announcements; postings on county and municipal websites, announcements on the county's TV station (Channel 20), postings in county and municipal 1- 5 newsletters and calendars, and batched faxes and e-mailings to previous participants. For each meeting or activity, the methods of invitation used, along with attendee lists, and comments or contributions made, are documented in meeting summaries and posted in Appendix I. As appropriate, public and private sector organizational representation in subcommittee activities is sought as well. 1.4 JURISDICTIONAL ADOPTION OF THE LMS All jurisdictions wishing to participate in and share in the benefits deriving from the LMS program must complete and file a fully executed resolution (see Appendix H) which conforms with the adoption standards jointly established and amended by the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners and the LMS Steering Committee. 1.5 NEW JURISDICTIONS/ENTITIES In the event municipal jurisdictions are added, deleted, or merged within the county, the LMS will appropriately adjust its voting member rolls as necessary and require any newly defined jurisdictions to provide documentation necessary for participation in the program. 1- 6 2.0 GUIDING PRINCIPLES The LMS guiding principles are an expression of the community's vision of hazard mitigation and the mechanisms through which it is striving to achieve that vision. The principles address concerns of the community relative to natural, technological, and societal hazards. 2.1 METHODOLOGY In formulating the LMS planning process, several techniques have been employed. One involved a review of appropriate plans, policy statements, laws, codes, and ordinances of each participating local government. As part of this process, a survey was distributed to each local government. The surveys provided information about the jurisdiction's development plans and regulations, and hazard mitigation projects they have implemented. With 37 local governments involved, defining a community-wide vision becomes far more complex than one local government defining its mission for local hazard mitigation. Therefore, a facilitated discussion with the Steering Committee was conducted. Using this approach, a comprehensive list of hazards of concern to the local governments was developed. Based on the defined hazards, the Steering Committee through "brainstorming" identified areas of concern. This list included: loss of life loss of property community sustainability health/medical needs sheltering adverse impacts to natural resources (e.g., beaches, water quality) damage to public infrastructure (e.g., roads, water systems, sewer systems, stormwater systems) economic disruption fiscal impact recurring damage redevelopment/reconstruction development practices intergovernmental coordination public participation repetitive loss properties historical structures These concerns, along with information generated from the inventory of local planning documents and ordinances, resulted in the mitigation goals and objectives established in Section 2.3. Palm Beach County's unified mitigation strategy is built upon a comprehensive base of processes including multi-jurisdictional hazard identification, risk and impact analyses, program capability assessments, operational and disaster experience and cost-benefit analyses. These processes, and their results to date, are described in Section 3 of the LMS and in the Situation Section of the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. These processes are applied on an ongoing basis and additions and changes will be reflected in revisions to the LMS plan. Hazards most likely to affect each of the county's jurisdictions, the risks those hazards pose to each jurisdiction, the impacts those hazards could have, jurisdictional capabilities to implement and support mitigation strategies, and cost-benefit analyses of mitigation strategies and 2 - 1 projects, are all integral considerations in developing, prioritizing and implementing mitigation strategies and initiatives at the county and municipal level. 2.2 PROCESS The strategy used for the development and revision process of the Palm Beach County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy Plan, consisted of the following tasks: 1. Public involvement 2. Coordination with other agencies or organizations 3. Hazard area inventory 4. Risk and Vulnerability Assessment 5. Coordinated and Integrated Programs and Plans within LMS 6. Review and analysis of possible mitigation activities 7. Continue Public Involvement to ensure a representative plan 8. Local adoption following a public hearing 9. Periodic review and update This hazard mitigation plan contributes to the overall mitigation strategy outlined above and illustrated in Figure 2.1 Planning Process Diagram. The Palm Beach County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy summarizes the activities to assess the effects of storm flooding, hurricanes, and all other hazards specific to our area and recommends mitigation activities. In following this strategy, all areas are addressed to reduce the amount of damage after a hazard occurs through mitigation efforts. Participation is encouraged by any individual, agency, organization and jurisdiction who would like to take part in the planning process defined in Section 1. All parties are encouraged to partake in the revision planning process completed at the "Steering Committee" meetings with suggestions, comments, involvement and feedback documented from all participants in the meeting summaries located in Appendix I starting from 2003. To ensure all jurisdictions, organizations, and the public are represented throughout the entire revision of the planning process, each meeting will be operated in accordance to Robert's Rules of Order. Appendix I will also include the invitation process located in each meeting summary along with jurisdictions, organizations, agencies, and the public in attendance. These procedures are in place to meet the overall objective of the LMS which is to have a plan representative of the entire county and to be a true Palm Beach County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 set new requirements to be met in all mitigations plans across the country. The LMS Working Group decided the work would be completed by the Administrative sub-committee. The Administrative sub-committee would be open to anyone who wished to participate. Direction to meet all new requirements would be discussed in the Administrative sub-committee. The direction was established through a series of sub-committee meetings. The sub-committee sent requests out to all communities to review and update charts, 2-2 and complete a narrative about mitigation initiatives within each community. In addition, all communities were asked to review new additions to the plan for comment and recommendation However, the LMS Working Group, formerly known as the Steering Committee, would ultimately make the final decision. The public would be invited to all LMS Working Group meetings to comment before any changes were finalized within the mitigation plan. The meeting summaries from the revision process along with future meetings will be located in Appendix I. The revision process followed the steps illustrated above. Also a diagram below illustrates all the components that made up the new planning process for the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requirements. The original planning process documenting public involvement can be located In Section 4.2. 2.3 MITIGATION STRATEGIES Palm Beach County's unified LMS encompasses diverse mitigation strategies, including, but not limited to: hazard elimination, hazard reduction, hazard modification, control of hazard release, protective equipment, establishment of hazard wa rni ng/ com m un ication systems and procedures, redundancy of critical resources and capabilities, mutual aid agreements and public-private partnership initiatives, contract services and resources, construction and land-use standards, and training and education. 2.4 MITIGATION GOALS AND OBJECTIVES All mitigation goals and objectives must be consistent with the goals and objectives of the county and the individual jurisdictional comprehensive plans, codes and ordinances, as well as any other jurisdictional documents reflecting aspirations for the welfare, safety and quality of life of their citizens. In a county as large and diverse as Palm Beach County, no single list of mitigation goals is going to encompass every conceivable mitigation goal and objective. Moreover when these defined goals and objectives below are met, vulnerabilities to these identified hazards will be reduced or avoided. The overall objective is to reduce the vulnerabilities to hazards which directly affect Palm Beach County. Goals 1. To reduce the loss of life, property, and repetitive damage from the effects of natural, societal and technological hazards from all sources but especially, in the county, hurricanes, tornadoes, major rainfall and other severe weather events. 2. To achieve safe and fiscally sound, sustainable communities through thoughtful long-range planning of the natural and man-made environment. 3. To take preventative actions to reduce the number of repetitive loss properties published annually by FEMA on the list of "Repetitive Loss Properties". 4. To qualify the county and jurisdictions for incremental improvements on the Community Rating System classification in relation to flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and to reduce flood hazards. 5. To optimize the effective use of all available resources by establishing public/private partnerships, and encouraging intergovernmental coordination and cooperation. 2-3 6. To increase the continual distribution of information on a consistent basis with respect to the existence of flood hazards and the availability of measures to mitigate the problems presented by such hazards. 7. To consistently increase the level of coordination of mitigation management concerns, plans and activities at the municipal, county, state and federal levels of government in relation to all hazards. 8. To establish a program that facilitates orderly recovery and redevelopment, and minimizes economic disruption following a disaster. 9. To ensure an enforceable commitment for the implementation of the local hazard mitigation strategy. The ultimate objectives of the LMS process are to: 1) Improve the community's resistance to damage from known natural, technological, and societal hazards; 2) Place Palm Beach County in a position to compete more effectively for pre and post-disaster mitigation funding; 3) Encourage strong jurisdictional, nongovernmental and public participation with all LMS activities; 4) Reduce the cost of disasters at all levels; and 5) Speed community recovery when disasters occur. Adoption of this strategy will provide the following benefits to both County and municipal governmental entities: 0 Compliance with Administrative Rules 9G-6 and 9G-7, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), requirements for local comprehensive emergency management plans to identify problem areas and planning deficiencies relative to severe and repetitive weather phenomenon, and to identify pre and post-disaster strategies for rectifying identified programs; 0 Universal points from the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) Program for developing a Floodplain Management Program, which may help further reduce flood insurance premium rates for property owners; 0 Access to FEMA's Federal Mitigation Assistance grant program, which provides funding for pre-disaster mitigation projects and activities; 0 Compliance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 allowing Palm Beach County to compete competitively for grant money; and 2-4 0 Identify and prioritize projects for funding under the State of Florida's Residential Construction Mitigation Program, to help reduce losses from repetitive flooding damage. Objectives The Palm Beach County LMS accomplishes the following objectives: 1) Sets forth the guiding principles with which both the County and municipal governmental entities of Palm Beach County will address the issue of all hazard mitigation (Section 2.0, Guiding Principles); 1) Identifies the known hazards to which the county is exposed, discusses their range of impacts, and delineates the individual vulnerabilities of the various jurisdictions and population centers within the county (Section 3.0, Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Analysis); 2) Reviews and evaluates the existing legal, regulatory, and response framework currently in place to deal with hazard mitigation (Section 4.0, Inventory and Evaluation of Existing Hazard Management Goals, Policies, Procedures, Ordinances, Projects, and Activities); 4) Develops a detailed method by which the Palm Beach County community (municipalities and County government) can evaluate and prioritize proposed mitigation projects along with new federal requirements (Section 5.0, Project Prioritization Methodology); 5) Develops a conflict resolution procedure by which municipalities and county governmental entities can resolve any differences that arise over prioritized mitigation projects or mitigation strategies (Section 6.0, Conflict Resolution Procedures); 6) Develops the process and schedule by which this entire Unified Local Mitigation Strategy will be review and updated (Section 7.0, Review and Revision Procedures for the Palm Beach County Local Hazard Mitigation Strategy); 7) The Palm Beach County LMS encompasses all jurisdictional and county plans in relation to striving for mitigation projects that will lessen potential damage if a hazard occurs. 8) To receive countywide participation to ensure that all ideas and suggestions have been a part of the planning process. 2 - 5 TT I 1 PASSED AND ADOPTED this ~ day of October, 2008. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 4or-J ~2:7 10 11 comm~ald Weiland, 12 13 ' /-4),1 ;, / ..-' /' / , /<_~4it'!':..--,,"- - .;,/ M . 1 -.-' / ~(.. , 14 /::_-1../ L-.<~~-G/,,/ 15 -Az02 y 16 17 4~ .,~' 18 Commissioner - Marlene Ross 19 ATTEST: 20 W).p~ 21 22 M.
