DATE: September 13, 2004
TO: Members of the Planning Commission and Public Safety Commission
FROM: Grant Taylor, Director of Development Services
Gail Black, Personnel Officer
Steve Stewart, Emergency Operations Coordinator
SUB7ECT: Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan
PURPOSE
For the Planning Commission and the Public Safety Commission to review, comment and
approve the Federal Mandated Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP). In addition, for
the Commission members to recommend that the City Council adopt the document and
direct staff to forward to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (�EMA).
BACKGROUND .
FEMA has a long history of disaster funding and relief. The Disaster Mitigation Act of
2000 (DMA) requires local government agencies to develop a document for mitigation
planning in both pre and post-disaster situations and emphasizes planning for disasters
before they occur.
DMA Z000 requires the development of a NHMP to be eligible for federal funding and that
such NHMP shall be submitted no later than November 1, 2004. Failure to comply will
result in the loss of pre and post-disaster federal funding.
On March 11, 2004 the Lynwood City Council approved funding for a consultant to assist
the City with development of the NHMP. Carolyn Harshman of Emergency Planning
- Consultants was hired, conducted workshops and prepared the plan with assistance from ,
the NHMP team. Team members include:
Grant Taylor, Development Services Craig Sragg, Building & Safety i
Gail.Black, Human Resources Bruno Naulls, Redevelopment �
Steve Stewart, Emergency Operations Jennifer Mizrahi, City Attorney Office i
Femando Pedroza, City Council Donald Dove, Planning Commission �
Joseph Wang, City Manager Lorna Hawkins, Public Safety Commission �

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
The DMA 2000 Act encourages cooperation between state and local authorities,
prompting them to work together. It rewards local and state pre-disaster planning and
promotes disaster resistance as a key component of sustainable development The .
intended result is better articulation of local and state government mitigation needs,
resulting in faster allocation of funding and more effective risk reduction programs.
The Planning process requires:
• Open Public Involvement
• Communiry Cooperation
• Incorporation of legal documents
The NHMP must include the following:
• Planning Process
• Risk Assessment
• Mitigation Strategy
° • Maintenance Process
• Documentation
• Plan Review
The NHMP Committee members met on April 28, 2004 and again on June 9, 2004. The
NHMP was a planning process that required considerable staff time and effort. A
significant amount of time was required to hunt and gather information applicable to the
NHMP. The Committee reviewed key aspects of developing the NHMP to include '�
establishing goals, mitigation tools, types of hazards (i.e. earthquakes, floods,
windstorms, wildfire, landslides, tsunami', etc.) and what hazards potentially may impad �
the City of Lynwood. I
�
The NHMP Committee cancurred the most significant potential impacts to the f
City of Zynwood would be earthquakes, floods and windstorms. Therefore, the
document focuses on the three (3) primary potential hazards, available
resources, and mitigation measures. - - . �
�
The attached NHMP provides a number of tables, rnaps, and photos and is comprised of �
three sections to include mitigation actions, hazard analysis and resources.

(This document was created by the State of Minnesota Planning Department and may not reflect recent

through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Now, the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public

and emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur.
This document covers the basic requirements of the act. It includes a excerpts from the federal rules
