  9. 2013 STATE PLAN UPDATERANKED HAZARDS 1 – Wildfire (3.7) 2 – Flooding (3.4) 3 – Severe Summer Weather (3.35) 4 (tie) – Earthquake (3.25) 4 (tie) – Severe Winter Weather (3.25) 5 – Communicable Disease (2.95) 6 – Hazardous Material Incidents (2.90) 7 – Drought (2.2) 8 (tie) – Dam Failure (2.1) 8 (tie) – Landslide (2.1) 9 – Terrorism (2.05) 10 – Volcanic Eruption (1.75)

  10. 2010 STATE PLAN REVIEW • Section 1 - Introduction • Section 2 - Planning Process • Section 3 - State Profile • Section 4 - Risk Assessment • Section 5 - Mitigation Strategy • Section 6 - Capability Assessment • Section 7 - Plan Maintenance

  11. SECTION 1.0 - INTRODUCTION • Purpose – documenting historical hazard events and vulnerabilities and strategies for mitigation that will make Montana a more disaster resistant State. • Scope – Meet requirements of Standard Level Plan with potential to expand to an Enhanced Plan in the future. • Authority – Section 322 (Mitigation Planning) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act enacted by Section 104 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000.

  12. SECTION 2.0 - PLANNING PROCESS 2010 STATE PLAN • Planning Team – review and decision making • Stakeholders Group – agencies, businesses, non-profits • Local Involvement – 12 meetings around the state • Project website 2013 STATE PLAN UPDATE • Public meetings in six largest cities (Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Butte, Bozeman and Helena). • Interactive Website – www.LetsMitigateMontana.comwith blog capabilities for SHMO. • Introduction of social media (Facebook). • Educational module for high school students. • Poster session at Capitol rotunda during legislature.

SECTION 5.0 - MITIGATION STRATEGY 2010 MITIGATION GOALS • Goal 1 - Maximize the Use of Mitigation Actions that Prevent Losses from All Hazards • Goal 2 - Increase State’s Capability to Provide and Assist Locals with Mitigation Opportunities • Goal 3 - Reduce Impacts from the Dam Failure Hazard • Goal 4 - Reduce Potential Earthquake Losses in Seismically Prone Areas • Goal 5 - Mitigate the Potential Loss of Life and Property from Flooding • Goal 6 - Reduce Losses from Hazardous Material Incidents • Goal 7 - Reduce Impacts from Landslides • Goal 8 - Reduce Impacts from Severe Summer Weather • Goal 9 - Reduce the Community Impacts of Wildland/Rangeland Fires • Goal 10 - Reduce Impacts from Severe Winter Weather

  17. SECTION 5.0 - MITIGATION STRATEGY 2013 STATE PLAN UPDATE • Include mitigation strategy for communicable disease, drought, and terrorism. • Develop implementation details for high priority projects. • Progress made since 2010 • Activities planned for next 3 to 5 years

  20. SECTION 6.0 – CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT 2010 STATE PLAN • Local Mitigation Capabilities • Building codes • Zoning • Growth Policies • Subdivision Regulations • Planning Boards • Floodplain Management 2013 STATE PLAN UPDATE • Describe proposed mitigation-related legislation.

  21. SECTION 7.0 - PLAN MAINTENANCEPDM PLAN SECTIONS REVIEWED • Post Disaster Activities • Integration with other State Plans • Hazard profiles/addition of new hazards • History and disaster declarations • Goals, objectives, and potential actions • Project prioritization • Annually - all of the above plus: • Planning Team meeting on the past years activities/problems • Integration of local plans • New study data • GIS data

  22. SECTION 7.0 - PLAN MAINTENANCEPDM PLAN SECTIONS REVIEWED • Annually (continued): • Mitigation funding sources • State mitigation capabilities • Local mitigation capabilities • Project evaluation and monitoring • Every three years - all of the above plus: • Planning process • Organization responsibilities • Economic data • Population data • Hazard assessment methodology

  23. SECTION 7.0 - PLAN MAINTENANCEPDM PLAN SECTIONS REVIEWED • Every three years (continued): • State structure data • Data limitations • Qualitative hazard assessment QUESTION??? • How can we improve coordination among agencies? • How can we more effectively integrate mitigation into other state programs?
