20 Hazard Mitigation Goals (Chapter III) 1. A spatial distribution of the various land uses which minimizes hazards and dangers to health, welfare, and safety as well as further enhancing the economic base of the County and will result in a compatible arrangement of land uses properly related to the existing and proposed supporting transportation, utility, public safety systems, and public facility systems. 2. A spatial distribution of the various land uses which maintains biodiversity and which will result in the protection and wise use of the natural resources of the County, including its soils, inland lakes and streams, groundwater, wetlands, woodlands, wildlife, and natural areas and critical species habitats.

21 Hazard Mitigation Goals (Chapter III) 3. An integrated transportation system which, through its location, capacity, and design, will safely, economically, and effectively serve the existing and proposed land use pattern and promote the implementation of the land use plan, meeting the current and anticipated travel demand and minimizing the potential for accidents and the associated toll on life and property damage. 4. The provision of facilities necessary to maintain a high quality of fire and police protection and emergency medical services throughout the county.

22 Hazard Mitigation Goals (Chapter III) 5. The development of a stormwater and floodland management system which reduces the exposure of people to drainage- and flooding-related inconvenience and to health and safety hazards and which reduces the exposure of real and personal property to damage through inundation resulting from flooding and inadequate stormwater drainage. 6. The identification of high erosion risk Lake Michigan shoreline areas and the development of a coastal erosion management program which reduces the exposure of people and real and personal property to shoreline erosion and bluff recession.

23 Development of Hazard Mitigation Strategies (Chapter V) Identified alternative strategies Nonstructural, ral structural, ral public information and education Reviewed current programs Federal and State, local Evaluation of alternatives and identification of mitigation actions Identified multi-jurisdictional considerations Selected and set forth priority mitigation measures

24

25 Priority Flood Mitigation Strategies Floodland and wetland zoning and zoning review (Chapter V) Preservation of open and sensitive areas Purchase, demolition, and removal or floodproofing of 677 structures Channel cleaning, maintenance, or rehabilitation Stormwater management planning and regulation Stormwater management facility maintenance NFIP map updating Survey of buildings near flood hazard areas

26 Priority Mitigation Strategies for Weather-related related Hazards (Chapter V) Maintain early warning systems NOAA Weather Radio, EAS broadcasting Public information and education Identify and advertise shelters Review and enforcement of building code requirements C ti d di ti f l l t Continued coordination of local government emergency operations and response plan

27 Priority Mitigation Strategies for Human-induced Hazards (Chapter V) Public information and education Driver safety, hazardous materials, public health, power outages Continued coordination of emergency response Governmental units, emergency responders Continued support of training, equipping, planning and preparedness for emergency responders

28 Priority Ranking of Hazards Mortality and Injury Transportation Street and Road Emergency Medical Incidents Temperature Extremes Transportation Railroad Thunderstorm/High Wind Lightning Winter Storms Transportation Airport Tornadoes Hazmat Incident Transportation Property and Crop Damage Transportation Street and Road Flooding Thunderstorm/High Wind Lake Michigan Coastal Erosion Drought Tornadoes Lightning Hail Hazmat Incident Transportation Hazmat Incident Fixed Facility

29 Plan Implementation (Chapter VI) For each priority mitigation strategy t Estimated costs Designated management agencies Noted current implementation status Identified potential funding sources

30 Plan Adoption (Chapter VI) The plan will need to be adopted by: Racine County Board Governing bodies of cities and villages The plan will need be approved by FEMA The plan has been reviewed by the Wisconsin Division of The plan has been reviewed by the Wisconsin Division of Emergency Management and their comments incorporated.
