MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Argoudelis and Trustees
From: James Kastrantas, Information Technology Director
Date: 3/17/2022
Re: Desktop and Laptop Refresh
Background Findings
The Village has over 200 desktops and laptops across all departments. It is best practices to replace these
computers every 5 to 7 years. This allows our staff to have up to date computers to run the latest applications the
Village utilizes. Currently we have 40% of our computers that are older than 7 years old and typically target
between 30 to 40 to replace annually. Currently, we are looking to replace 16 desktops and 18 laptops with
docking stations.
Policy Considerations
According to Section 2-43 (6) of the Village Code of Ordinances, the Village Administrator shall make a
recommendation to the President and Board of Trustees on purchases over the $10,000 statutory limit. The
Board has the right to accept or reject any or all proposals.
Financial Considerations
The cost for the proposed replacement for the computers is $38,724.74. Funding for this purchase will be taken
from the Information Technology Department computer replacement budget.
The cost per computer per vendor was
Recommendation
It is my recommendation that the Village Board direct the President to authorize the purchase of the computers
from Dell Technologies for 16 Desktops, 18 Laptops and 18 Docking stations.

MEMORANDUM
To: Allen Persons, Director of Public Works
From: Dan Biermann, Water Superintendent
Date: March 14, 2022
Re: Water Meter Purchase
Background Findings
The Village utilizes a specific type of water meter that communicates with our system via radio frequency. When a
new home is constructed the builder reimburses the Village for the cost of each water meter and the transmitter.
As a result of the pandemic, we needed to supplement our water meter shortage with a different manufacture and
vendor. Ferguson Waterworks was able to supply the Village with water meters that are needed to guarantee no
interruption of new meter installations.
Policy Considerations
This purchase supports the Village's new construction process and utility services to our residents.
According to Section 2-43 (6) of the Village Code of Ordinances, the Village Administrator shall make a
recommendation to the President and Board of Trustees on purchases over the $10,000 statutory limit. The Board
has the right to accept or reject any or all proposals.
Financial Considerations
The Village has budgeted funds for the purchase of water meters and will be coded to: 02-10-02-5080.
Recommendation
It is staff's recommendation that the Village Board authorize the purchase of up to 400 water meters, any
related equipment and shipping charges from Ferguson Waterworks at a total cost not to exceed $100,000.00.

Re: 2022 MFT Street Improvement Program (Section No.: 21-00071-00-RS) Resolution
Background Findings
In accordance with Illinois Compiled Statutes and IDOT procedures, an adoption of a resolution declaring the intent
and appropriation of Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds is required for the 2022 MFT Street Improvement Program. Upon
adoption of the resolution, IDOT will evaluate the Village’s current unobligated MFT balance plus anticipated
allotments during the life of the project to determine whether adequate funding is available.
Please find attached the Resolution for Improvement by Municipality under the Illinois Highway Code for the 2022
MFT Street Improvement Program.
Policy Considerations
The project supports the Village’s Transportation Plan by maintaining the Village’s roadway network based on a
street’s individual Pavement Condition Number, field observations, and optimization within the upcoming five-year
timeframe.
According to Section 2-43 (6) of the Village Code of Ordinances, the Village Administrator shall make a
recommendation to the President and Board of Trustees on purchases over the $10,000 statutory limit. The Board
has the right to accept or reject any or all proposals.
Financial Considerations
The Village has used its Motor Fuel Tax entitlement from the State of Illinois to partially fund its Street Improvement
Program in past years and staff is looking to continue that with this year’s program.
Recommendation
It is our recommendation that the Village Board authorize the Village President to adopt Resolution No. , a
Resolution for Improvement by Municipality under the Illinois Highway Code for the 2022 MFT Street Improvement
Program.

Re: 2022 MFT Street Improvement Program Award
Background Findings
The item under consideration by the Village Board pertains to the 2022 MFT Street Improvement Program. On
March 15, 2022, the Village received five (5) bids for the 2022 MFT Street Improvement Program. The work
includes asphalt resurfacing in the Heritage Oaks, Canterbury Woods, River Ridge and Ponds of Plainfield
subdivisions. Also included in the project will be the removal and replacement of selected areas of concrete
sidewalk, curb and gutter removal and replacement, as well as pavement striping. The Engineer’s Estimate for this
work is $2,126,262.45.
Recommendation to award from the Village Engineer and a detailed bid tabulation for all bidders is attached.
Policy Considerations
The project supports the Village’s Transportation Plan by maintaining the Village’s roadway network based on a
street’s individual Pavement Condition Number, field observations, and optimization within the upcoming five-
year timeframe.
According to Section 2-43 (6) of the Village Code of Ordinances, the Village Administrator shall make a
recommendation to the President and Board of Trustees on purchases over the $10,000 statutory limit. The
Board has the right to accept or reject any or all proposals.
Financial Considerations
Based on previous discussions regarding the Village’s existing roadway network, funding has been committed in
this year’s budget to maintain the condition of our streets. A line item for Street Improvements is included in the
current and upcoming fiscal year budgets within Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
Recommendation
Staff has reviewed and verified the bids and recommends award of the project to the low qualified bidder, PT
Ferro Construction Company. PT Ferro is pre-qualified through IDOT for the work required as part of this contract
and has met the bid proposal requirements. PT Ferro has completed Village roadway projects in the past and the
work was of good quality.
It is our recommendation that the Village Board authorize the Village President to award the 2022 MFT Street
Improvement Program Contract to PT Ferro Construction Company, the lowest responsible bidder, in an amount
not to exceed $2,080,400.29, plus a 5% contingency.

March 16, 2022 Mr. Allen Persons Director of Public Works Village of Plainfield 24401 West Lockport Street Plainfield, IL 60544 Subject: Village of Plainfield – 2022 MFT Street Improvement Program
MFT Section No.: 21-00071-00-RS RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD Dear Mr. Persons: Enclosed is the reviewed bid tabulation for the bids received by the Village on March 15th at 10:00 A.M. for the subject project. We have analyzed each of the bids and find PT Ferro Construction Co. to be the lowest, responsible and responsive Bidder. Their total bid is in the amount of $2,080,400.29 which is $45,862.16 (2.2%) below the Village’s Estimate of Cost ($2,126,262.45). PT Ferro Construction Co. has successfully completed similar projects in the Village as well as other agencies. Based upon our familiarity and past working relationships with PT Ferro Construction Co., we believe that they are qualified to complete the project. Therefore, we recommend award of the contract to PT Ferro Construction Co. Upon award by the Village Board, we will prepare the Contract Documents for execution by the Contractor and the Village, and subsequent approval by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

MEMORANDUM
To: Allen Persons-Director of Public Works
From: Scott Threewitt-Lead Engineer
Date: March 16, 2022
Re: 2022 Non MFT Street Improvement Program Award
Background Findings
The item under consideration by the Village Board pertains to the 2022 Non MFT Street Improvement Program.
On March 15, 2022, the Village received five (5) bids for the 2022 Non MFT Street Improvement Program. The
work includes asphalt resurfacing in the Farmstone Ridge, Water’s Edge, and The Reserve subdivisions as well as
sections of 143rd Street, Presidential Avenue, Van Dyke Road, Naperville Road, and Vista Lane. Also included in the
project will be the removal and replacement of selected areas of concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter removal and
replacement, as well as pavement striping. The Engineer’s Estimate for this work is $2,811,152.50.
Recommendation to award from the Village Engineer and a detailed bid tabulation for all bidders is attached.
Policy Considerations
The project supports the Village’s Transportation Plan by maintaining the Village’s roadway network based on a
street’s individual Pavement Condition Number, field observations, and optimization within the upcoming five-
year timeframe.
According to Section 2-43 (6) of the Village Code of Ordinances, the Village Administrator shall make a
recommendation to the President and Board of Trustees on purchases over the $10,000 statutory limit. The
Board has the right to accept or reject any or all proposals.
Financial Considerations
Based on previous discussions regarding the Village’s existing roadway network, funding has been committed in
this year’s budget to maintain the condition of our streets. A line item for Roadway Improvements is included in
the current and upcoming fiscal year budget within the Capital Improvement Fund.
Recommendation
Staff has reviewed and verified the bids and recommends award of the project to the low qualified bidder, Austin
Tyler Construction. Austin Tyler Construction is pre-qualified through IDOT for the work required as part of this
contract and has met the bid proposal requirements. Austin Tyler Construction has completed Village roadway
projects in the past and the work was of good quality.
It is our recommendation that the Village Board authorize the Village President to award the 2022 Non MFT Street
Improvement Program Contract to Austin Tyler Construction, the lowest responsible bidder, in an amount not to
exceed $2,694,839.30.

MEMORANDUM
To: Allen Persons – Director of Public Works
From: Scott Threewitt – Lead Engineer
Date: March 17, 2022
Re: Surface Transportation Program Grant-US Route 30 at Wallin Drive
Background Findings
Staff has been working to identify grant programs to assist with public infrastructure projects and the Will County
Governmental League has released a call for projects to receive future Surface Transportation Program (STP)
funding for transportation projects. Staff has completed an application for the US Route 30 at Wallin Drive
intersection improvements which has been identified in the Village’s Transportation Plan and also at recent
Capital budget discussions. Work includes intersection reconstruction with widening for dual left turns, right tun
lanes, traffic signal modernization, and new sidewalks with ADA access for increased pedestrian connectivity.
These improvements align well with the objectives of the Surface Transportation Program. Construction of this
improvement is tentatively scheduled for 2025/2026.
A requirement of the grant application is a resolution by the applicant allocating funds for the required 20%
minimum local match for construction so long as the project is programmed in the Will County Governmental
League List of Projects.
Policy Considerations
According to Section 2-43 (6) of the Village Code of Ordinances, the Village Administrator shall make a
recommendation to the President and Board of Trustees on purchases over the $10,000 statutory limit.
Financial Considerations
Funds for this work will need to be allocated in the appropriate fiscal year’s budget. This process is similar to grant
applications in the past, is consistent with submissions made in the past, and meets Village needs and
requirements.
Recommendation
It is our recommendation that the Village Board adopt a resolution allocating funds as required by Will County
Governmental League, as part of the submission of the Surface Transportation Program application package
related to the US Route 30 at Wallin Drive Intersection Improvements Project.
139
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE LOCAL MATCH FOR IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH THE WILL COUNTY GOVERNMENTAL LEAGUE
SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM
Whereas, the Village of Plainfield is a member of the Will County Governmental League; and Whereas, the Will County Governmental League has adopted policies for the implementation of
Surface Transportation Program (STP) Projects, subject to the approval by the Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT) and concurrence from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA); and Whereas, those policies require that to receive STP funding through the Will County
Governmental League, a project sponsor must submit an STP project application and a
resolution stating the Village will fully fund the required 20% minimum local match for construction which will be available through the life of the project. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Village of Plainfield applies for STP funding for the US
Route 30 at Wallin Drive STP intersection improvements. Be it further resolved that the Village of Plainfield hereby agrees that it will allocate funds for the required 20% minimum local match for construction to the US Route 30 at Wallin Drive STP intersection improvements, so long as the project is programmed in the Will
County Governmental League List of Projects.

Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Executive Summary
2020 WC AHMP i
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Will County County-wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan is designed to meet the requirements of the
Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K) and provide a useful document to reduce the impact of
hazards county-wide. The plan will meet the Act’s hazard mitigation planning regulations that require
jurisdictions to have an adopted and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved Hazard
Mitigation Plan to be eligible for mitigation grant funding. Although the DMA2K requires local
governments to only address natural hazards, the Will County Emergency Management Agency thought it
was imperative to address all hazards including technological and societal hazards.
The 2020 update to the Will County County-wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan provides a first step towards
identifying strategies and actions to prepare the community for natural, technological, and societal
hazards. Emergency Management agencies at all levels of government in Will County realize the inter-
dependencies of mitigation with response, recovery, and preparedness functions. This plan identifies
select response, recovery, and preparedness actions and identifies agencies responsible for these actions.
Purpose
The intent of DMA2K is to control the cost of federal disaster assistance by initiating a sustained, national
program for pre-disaster hazard mitigation planning. In order to be eligible for mitigation funding
through FEMA’s programs, communities must develop and adopt a hazard mitigation plan. This program
enables the county and participating communities to implement planned, cost-effective mitigation
measures before and after an event.
The mitigation planning and hazard analysis process in this plan identifies and prioritizes the steps and
actions to mitigate the impact of various categories of hazards. The communities of Will County are
familiar with the impacts of disasters and recognize that a disaster could occur with little or no warning.
Planning for a sustainable, resilient, and prepared community is essential to reduce damages to homes,
facilities, and infrastructure; prevent loss of life; minimize disruption of essential and critical services;
and maintain continuity of the local economy and government operations.

Executive Summary
2020 WC AHMP ii
Plan Review Tool
To ensure that the updated Will County County-wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan meets the requirements
of DMA2K, the Mitigation Project Team cross-referenced the All Hazard Mitigation Plan with FEMA’s
Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool. FEMA uses the tool to evaluate mitigation plans. In addition, the
tool identifies where each plan element is located within the plan document. The tool may also be used as
part of an internal quality assurance procedure.
Public Involvement
Will County communities realize that public involvement is critical to the success of any strategic
planning process, including hazard mitigation. It is important for hazard mitigation plans to target
concerns, comments, and perception of risk as factors in creating mitigation strategies. To ensure
consensus with the public, the Mitigation Project Team developed several mechanisms to reach out to the
public to participate in the Will County County-wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. Public input was
incorporated into the mitigation plan through various efforts including:
Steering Committee - A Mitigation Steering Committee comprised of various professionals with
local knowledge and expertise was organized. The Mitigation Steering Committee members are
identified in Appendix E.
Local Input - The Mitigation Steering Committee members met with local organizations and
jurisdictions to update them on the progress of the project, as well as to solicit their participation
and support of the All Hazard Mitigation Plan to identify potential mitigation projects.
Information, comments, concerns, and ideas that would be incorporated into the plan were
gathered during these meetings. Expert Guidance - the original Mitigation Project Team,
composed of CTE/AECOM and the Polis Center, held interviews to solicit input and guidance
from experts in given fields and provide modeling of likely hazards. This information and
guidance were included in the development of the plan.
Workshops - The Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee held mitigation workshops to review
and update the hazard risk assessment, mitigation goals and objectives, and mitigation actions to
be incorporated into the 2020 Will County County-wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. Invitations
157
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Executive Summary
2020 WC AHMP iii
to attend these workshops were extended to local jurisdictions, various community organizations,
and neighboring counties.
Public Meetings - The Mitigation Team developed a public survey for the plan update to gauge
the concerns of the public, as well as provide feedback to help guide the Committee in identifying
potential mitigation actions. The questionnaire was developed to target the public’s thoughts on
what their and their community’s greatest risks are, what they have done to mitigate at their
home, and what they would do when a disaster strikes. This questionnaire was available through
the Will County EMA website (http://www.willcountyema.org), Facebook, and other social
media platforms along with jurisdictional websites. This allowed the public to communicate their
concerns, comments, and ideas on what their community and/or Will County can do to mitigate
hazards. The public was also given an opportunity to review the updated plan which was posted
on the Will County EMA website and social media along with the ability for the public to posts
comments.
Planning Process
The Will County County-wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan process involves four distinct phases that will
enable communities to articulate their risks and identify and develop mitigation actions for all hazards.
These phases are:
Organize Resources
Assess Risks
Identify Mitigation Actions
Implement the Mitigation Plan
Organize Resources
The vital component of this effort is to identify the Mitigation Steering Committee. The Mitigation
Steering Committee acts as a point of contact for the various interested groups and provided support of
the Mitigation Planning process. Identification of this core group is important in ensuring implementation
and support of the Mitigation Plan. The following characteristics were considered when soliciting
participation:
Ability to speak for the organization;
Provide visionary characteristics;
158
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Executive Summary
2020 WC AHMP iv
Have a desire and time to commit, and;
Have an understanding of local politics and issues.
Will County EMA chaired this committee and representatives from Will County departments provided
strategic guidance and were active throughout the development of the hazard mitigation plan. Many of
the Will County representatives were also members of local organizations that have relevance to the Will
County County-wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan and its update.
Risk Assessment
The County government recognizes the importance of identifying and analyzing Will County’s hazards;
therefore, Will County reviewed and updated the hazard risk analysis for the 2020 plan.
The assessment and analysis of the vulnerability to the county is a definitive measure of the risk
associated with each individual hazard. The Risk Assessment describes, analyzes, and evaluates the risks
facing Will County from three categories of hazards: Natural, Technological, and Societal.
The description of each hazard category elaborates upon and:
Defines the different types of hazards
Identifies historical events that have occurred locally and/or regionally
Defines the hazard profiles, parameters, and characteristics
Assesses possible vulnerabilities
Determines probable scenarios
Models select hazards
The risks include the following:
Natural Hazards Technological Hazards Societal Hazards
Tornado Hazardous Materials – Fixed Site & Transportation
Accident
Public Health
Thunderstorm Enemy Attack
Winter/Ice Storm Fire Terrorist Attack
Flood, Flash Flood, Ice Jams Nuclear Power Plant Accident Civil Disturbance
Extreme Heat Pipeline Rupture

Mitigation Goals and Objectives
Through these efforts, All Hazard Mitigation Goals and Objectives were developed and updated. Goals
define the expectations of the plan and serve as general guidelines. They are typically broad policy-type
statements, long term, and represent global visions. Objectives are strategies or implementation steps to
attain an identified goal. Unlike goals, objectives are specific and measurable. The goals and objectives
were identified during the risk assessment and molded throughout the planning process, then finalized and
updated during the Mitigation Workshops.
Goal #1: Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #2: Continue to improve and enhance county-wide emergency management programs and
develop relationships county-wide.
Goal #3: Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and improve quality of life
throughout Will County.
Goal #4: Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Goal #5: Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also protecting natural systems
and natural resources.
Mitigation Actions and Implementation
The updated Mitigation Action Plan identifies mitigation actions intended to reduce loss from future
hazard events throughout the county. The mitigation strategies were developed from the risk assessment
and public participation process. Each mitigation strategy describes the problem or opportunity, how to
implement it, funding sources, and responsible agencies. Mitigation strategies were defined and
prioritized primarily through a formalized workshop with steering committee members and jurisdictional
representatives. To support the identified mitigation actions, this plan also identifies select response,
recovery, and preparedness actions that are related to the overall mitigation strategy.
The initial selection and prioritization of these strategies was drafted by the mitigation steering
committee, using the following criteria to identify mitigation strategies and actions that:
Address plan goals and objectives.
Take advantage of opportunities presented by on-going or prospective initiatives,
programs, and activities related to emergency management, public safety, homeland
security.

Are within the capabilities to execute the mitigation action.
Offer a significant benefit to the community in relation to its cost.
Have an identified funding source or sources.
Have an identified lead agency with appropriate jurisdictional authority to coordinate
implementation.
Have an identified schedule for implementation.
A benefit/cost analysis is an important component in the hazard mitigation planning process. As the
scope of mitigation actions are defined and costs are developed, the Mitigation Steering Committee will
work with other departments and local jurisdictions to analyze these actions based on FEMA’s benefit
cost methodology. This analysis will assist in determining the actions necessary to effectively minimize
costs and prevent damage from future hazards.
Implementation, Monitoring, and Maintenance
Will County EMA will maintain and update the 2020 Will County County-wide All Hazard Mitigation
Plan and continue to encourage participation by all communities in the county. The update of this plan
will occur every five years as mandated by DMA2K with input from participating communities. The Will
County Mitigation Steering Committee will gather each year to assess the status of the mitigation actions.
Public input will continuously be solicited via the Will County EMA website as well as through local
organizations and public-private partnerships.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Will County has been one of the nation’s fastest growing counties. It is all too familiar with natural
disasters, the existing risk of technological hazards, and the growing threat of societal hazards. After
decades of gradual change, urban sprawl began to move
into the farmland areas. Since 2000, the population of the
county has increased by 184,717 (36% growth). People
have been attracted to Will County because of
opportunities arising from the expansion of businesses
and homes. Some view this growth as a sign of
prosperity and progress; however, it also results in
increased traffic, greater demand on infrastructure, and a
loss of open space. The most devastating impact can be
one that is not realized each day until a disaster strikes.
Although disasters have occurred in the Will County, the
county and its jurisdictions have not experienced a
catastrophic natural event, a terrorist attack, or an incident
of national significance. Despite this, emergency
management agencies throughout the county recognize
that a disaster could occur in the future with little or no
warning. The development of open space and farmland,
increasing dependency on technology, and new
developing threats greatly enhance the possibility and impact of a disaster. Planning for a sustainable,
resilient, and prepared community is essential to prevent loss of life; disruption of essential and critical
services; economic and business interruption; and damages to homes, facilities, and infrastructure. Most
important, this plan will assist the communities of Will County in recognizing its vulnerabilities and
preparing for future recovery efforts.
Over the past decades, the nation has witnessed an alarming number of disasters incurring substantial
destruction. Destruction associated with disasters has created a significant increase in direct and indirect
costs, as well as economic disruption and loss of life. The toll of a disaster on a community extends far

beyond the physical damage, but can also result in the long term disruption of local and regional
economies. As a result, Congress passed Public Law 106-390, The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000
(DMA2K). The intent of DMA2K was to control federal costs of disaster assistance by initiating a
national, sustained program for pre-disaster hazard mitigation. This program enables participating
communities to implement planned, pre-identified, and cost-effective mitigation measures before or after
an event. In order to be eligible for mitigation funding through FEMA programs, communities must
develop and adopt a hazard mitigation plan.
Hazard mitigation planning in Will County began in 1985 with a resolution by the county to address
flooding of the Kankakee River in the Wilmington area. The resolution gave the support needed to
develop a flood hazard mitigation plan for the county to encourage public/private property owners to take
steps to reduce their susceptibility to flood damage. Additionally, the resolution authorized the
coordination of mitigation activities with agencies within the county and to seek state and federal
assistance as needed.
The current Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan includes jurisdictions that participated
in the hazard mitigation planning process. Will County EMA is the county organization that provides
emergency management services throughout Will County. Will County EMA applied for and received
funding to update the 2013 hazard mitigation plan and worked closely with local jurisdictions,
municipalities, and townships throughout the mitigation planning process to create its plan and updates.
Resolution of Adoption
This plan serves to recommend mitigation measures for Will County. Adoption of this plan by the Will
County Board and the participating communities initiates the implementation of these recommendations.
Adoption is also a requirement for recognition of the plan by mitigation funding programs.
The adoption of this Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan was done by resolution of the
County Board. A sample resolution of adoption is included as Appendix A of the plan. Resolutions of
adoption by Will County and participating jurisdictions will become part of this plan as they are adopted.
Through these resolutions of adoption, each jurisdiction will certify their agreement with the risk
assessment and the mitigation goals, objectives, strategies, actions, implementation, monitoring, and
update schedule.
The municipal, fire protection districts, colleges, and other agencies’ resolutions should adopt each action
item that is pertinent to the community and assign a person responsible for it. Once the state and federal
163
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 1: Introduction
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 1 - 3
reviewers certify the plan approval, Will County will forward the plan to each participating jurisdiction
for formal adoption. Copies of these resolutions will be held on file with the Will County EMA. With
adoption, the county and each municipality, agency, or institution are individually eligible to apply for
FEMA mitigation grant funding.
Planning Process Methods
The Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan process involves four distinct phases that will
enable the communities within Will County to articulate their risks and identify and develop mitigation
actions. These phases include:
Organize Resources
Assess Risks
Identify Mitigation Actions
Develop and Implement the Mitigation Plan
Organize Resources
Will County EMA served as the coordinating body for the planning process. They collaborated closely
with county departments, communities of Will County, and local public and private organizations.
Furthermore, Will County EMA solicited participation from surrounding communities to be involved
throughout the process.
The Will County Mitigation Steering Committee was actively involved in all of the stages of the planning
process: hazard identification, risk assessment, mitigation strategy development, and mitigation action
identification. Disasters often cross county boundaries; therefore, Will County solicited the participation
of several jurisdictions that straddle the boundaries of the county to improve the opportunity to identify
and implement regional mitigation actions. Several advantages of this relationship include:
Establishment of relationships prior to an event occurring. These relationships are
fundamental to emergency management activities during all phases: preparedness, response,
recovery, and mitigation
Identification of issues affecting multiple jurisdictions that may be discussed and leveraged
together to show a greater benefit of a mitigation action
164
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 1: Introduction
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 1 - 4
Collaboration which allows for resource sharing between communities and neighboring
counties
Reduced duplication of efforts
Many individuals and groups were crucial contributors to the creation of this plan. The following
identifies them and their role in the process.
Will County Emergency Management Agency
Will County EMA works closely with all jurisdictional emergency management agencies throughout the
county to provide emergency management services. Will County EMA applied for and received funding
from IEMA to update the 2013 hazard mitigation plan. Will County EMA was the lead for the 2020
update of the plan and chaired the Will County Mitigation Steering Committee. Will County EMA
served as the coordinating body for the planning process and collaborated closely with other county
departments, local jurisdictions, local organizations, and the public. Furthermore, Will County EMA
solicited participation from the public and surrounding communities to be involved throughout the
process.
Mitigation Project Team
The Mitigation Project Team consisted of a core team with mitigation and recovery experience as well as
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis and U.S Multi-hazard (HAZUS-MH) modeling. The
original plan’s Mitigation Project Team was led by a Certified Emergency and Floodplain Manager and
consisted of professionals with diverse backgrounds in emergency management, engineering,
environmental sciences, and homeland security. GIS analysis and HAZUS-MH modeling were
performed by the Polis Center (Polis), a not-for-profit, university-based organization with staff dedicated
to researching and applying GIS technology.
Will County Mitigation Steering Committee
The Will County Mitigation Steering Committee was comprised of officials from various Will County
departments that are actively involved with local organizations and are conduits to local jurisdictions:

Participating Communities
The Mitigation Steering Committee solicited the participation of local jurisdictions throughout the
mitigation planning process. County and local jurisdictions were invited to participate in the plan update
process. This includes the thirty-seven municipalities that have all or some of their municipal limits
within Will County. The municipalities that are predominantly within surrounding counties but whose
municipal limits expand into Will County are denoted (*) in the following table.

The these municipalities along with county and other stakeholders were invited to three county-wide
Mitigation Plan Update Workshops. After each workshop, all jurisdictions were provided by email
workshop materials and suggested updates collected during the workshop for review. Those who were
not able to attend a workshop were encouraged to provide their comments and questions. Not all of the
jurisdictions were able to attend the workshops, but of those who did, many submitted comments on the
workshop results by email, telephone, or contact with Mitigation Steering Committee members. Those
jurisdictions that did not attend any workshop or respond to workshop follow-up emails were contacted
by telephone, email, and face-to-face at other meetings. The importance of the mitigation plan update and
their participation was stressed in these contacts. Most of the jurisdictions whose municipal limits are
within Will County that did not respond are small communities that only have part-time or volunteer staff.

Many of these jurisdictions helped to solicit public participation by posting links to the public survey and
draft plan update on their websites and through social media.
In addition to the local municipality participation, the Will County Land Use Department and Stormwater
Management Planning Committee were involved throughout the mitigation planning process. The Will
County Stormwater Management Planning Committee is comprised of municipal representatives that
promote and support stormwater management practices. Will County Land Use Department staff were a
part of the plan update team to assist in the mitigation planning process, review and draft mitigation goals
and objectives, and act as a subject matter experts with regards to natural hazards and land use issues.

Agency and Authority Meetings
Will County EMA and the Mitigation Project Team met with a variety of county departments,
jurisdictions, and local organizations to obtain a strong understanding of their facilities and operations,
risks, existing programs and projects, and opportunities to implement mitigation actions. A summary and
explanation of these meetings is provided in Appendix E.
Expertise Interviews
The Mitigation Project Team interviewed and solicited input from a variety of experts in the field of
engineering, natural hazards, technological hazards, terrorism, etc. A summary and explanation of these
meetings is provided in Appendix E.
Public Involvement
The broad scope of the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan did create challenges due to
the nature of technological and societal hazards and the ability to share sensitive information with the
public. Today’s society prohibits openly sharing vital documents and information since this information
could identify potential vulnerabilities. Despite the security issues, the Mitigation Team developed
several mechanisms to secure sensitive information and still reach out to the public to participate in the
Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. Public input was incorporated into the plan
through various efforts.
A Mitigation Steering Committee comprised of various professionals with local knowledge and
expertise was organized. The Mitigation Steering Committee members are identified in
Appendix E.
The Mitigation Project Team held meetings with various governing entities and jurisdictions to
understand their risks and to gather information, as well as comments, concerns, and ideas that
would be incorporated into the plan. Those attending included various professionals in
emergency services, engineering and planning, local jurisdictions, county departments, and
community organizations. A summary of these meetings is provided in Appendix E.
The Mitigation Project Team held interviews to solicit input and guidance from experts in given
fields. This information and guidance was included in the development of the plan. A summary
of these interviews is provided in Appendix E.
171
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 1: Introduction
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 1 - 11
The Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee held workshops to review and define the mitigation
goals and objectives and to review and identify mitigation actions to be incorporated into the Will
County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. Invitations were extended to various
community organizations to attend this workshop. A copy of the Hazard Mitigation Action form
that was distributed is provided in Appendix D.
Will County EMA posted an overview of the County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation project and a
public survey on the Will County and jurisdictional websites and social media. The questionnaire
was developed to target the public’s thoughts on what their and their community’s greatest risk is,
what they have done to mitigate at their home, and what they would do when a disaster strikes. A
copy of the survey and its results are provided in Appendix E.
In this update of the plan, the public survey provided insight into the power of the internet and
social media and its avid use by the public. There were over 1,100 respondents (less than 100 in
2013) to the survey from 36 different county communities. Many more community members
viewed the survey website but did not complete the survey. These numbers indicate that the
internet and social media can be an effective tool to educate, inform, and have a dialog with the
public about preparedness, response, and recovery to emergencies.
A draft of the 2020 Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan was posted on the Will
County EMA, jurisdictional websites, and social media for public review and comment.
Resources
The Will County Planning Committee utilized a variety of planning documents and technical data, reports
and studies to direct the plan’s development. Resources include land use plans, comprehensive plans, city
ordinances, building codes, zoning ordinances, historical research documents, subject-specific text books,
interviews with local officials, interviews with regional experts, local planning, engineering, GIS data,
and emergency management documents. The planning process also incorporated the existing 2013 Will
County Hazard Mitigation Plan and elements of the 2018 Illinois State Hazard Mitigation plan into the
creation of this update along with a variety of FEMA reference documents. In the initial plan, the Project
Team utilized HAZUS-MH. HAZUS-MH is a GIS based loss estimation model developed by FEMA.
HAZUS-MH was used to model the county-wide impacts of historical earthquakes and flooding events.
A mitigation action has been added to this update to reevaluate the HAZUS-MH models to determine the
effect of population and industry growth on these hazards.

Identify Hazards and Assess Risk
The Mitigation Project Team recognizes that the assessment and analysis of vulnerability is a definitive
measure of the risk associated with each individual hazard. The All Hazard Risk Assessment summarizes
the 2020 Will County Hazard Analysis and further describes, analyzes, and assesses the county-wide risks
from three categories of hazards: natural, technological, and societal. The description of each hazard
category elaborates upon and defines the different types of hazards, identifies historical events that have
occurred locally and/or regionally; defines the hazard profiles, parameters, and characteristics; assesses
possible vulnerabilities; determines probable scenarios; and models select hazards. The associated risks
for each hazard were defined through the following process:

In order to effectively and efficiently integrate existing documents and operations, the Will County
Hazard Analysis conducted in 2020 was incorporated into the Will County County-Wide All Hazard
Mitigation Plan. This allowed Will County to identify mitigation objectives, strategies, and actions that
address all of Will County’s risks. The Will County Terrorism Vulnerability Assessment and the
Terrorism Vulnerability Assessment of Critical Infrastructure Results were not referenced in this
document due to the sensitive information that is contained in these reports.
The 2020 Will County Hazard Analysis utilized a formal, structured procedure to evaluate hazards. Will
County utilized a process similar to IEMA’s for assessing and evaluating hazards in order to promote a
common base and consistency in the analysis by defining criteria and providing a scoring system. Four
criteria were used to describe and assess the potential hazards, the four criteria include:
History Past record of occurrences of the specified hazard. It is a guide of what has
occurred in the past but is not a guarantee of what may occur in the future.
Vulnerability Pertains to the people that might be killed, injured, or contaminated and to
property that might be destroyed, damaged, or contaminated due to the
occurrences of a specified hazard.
Maximum Threat Consists of the impacts from a ‘worst case’ scenario of a specified hazard and is
where the greatest impact to people and property is expected and assessed.
Probability Refers to the likelihood of the occurrence of a specified hazard. It is expressed as
the number of chances per year that an event of a specific intensity will occur.

Identify Mitigation Goals, Objectives, and Actions
The Mitigation Goals, Objectives, and Actions address the intent of this document and the actions to
reduce loss from future hazard events throughout the county. Mitigation strategies were reviewed,
defined, and prioritized primarily through Mitigation Workshops with committee members and
participating jurisdictions. The Mitigation Workshop participants were encouraged to identify mitigation
strategies that had an all hazards impact or targeted the community’s greatest risks. Potential strategies
were developed using criteria developed by FEMA. These evaluation criteria consist of public support,
technical feasibility, staffing, funding, maintenance requirements, political support, legal authority, and
cost effectiveness.
The mitigation plan identifies mitigation actions and implementation strategies. The mitigation actions
and strategies were developed from the risk assessment and the public participation process. The
mitigation actions were prioritized by those hazards that have the greatest risk (i.e. significant probability
of occurring and a significant impact). The Mitigation Steering Committee was encouraged to not limit
their focus of mitigation actions to these hazards.
Each mitigation strategy describes the opportunity, how to implement it, funding sources, and responsible
agencies.
Problem/Opportunity: Describes either a problem or a possible opportunity to reduce risk.
Implementation Strategy: Each mitigation strategy includes ideas to implement and accomplish the
specific project and potential resources, which may include grant programs
or human resources.
Lead Agency: The agency or agencies that will organize resources, find appropriate
funding, or oversee project implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
Funding: Offers suggestions on potential financial resources for implementing the
mitigation strategy. This includes funding from government agencies as
well as various different types of grants.
Timeline: Estimates the amount of time it will take to begin implementation of each
strategy.

Mitigation Plan Development
The Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan documents the mitigation planning process and
addresses the elements required in 44 CFR Part 201.6(c). Although the DMA2K requires local
governments to only address natural hazards, Will County EMA thought it was imperative to address all
hazards, including technological and societal (which includes terrorism) hazards. Will County EMA also
recognizes the importance of integrating mitigation with other state and federal directives.
Plan Monitoring and Maintenance
The Mitigation Steering Committee, with support of participating jurisdictions, will review the plan
annually or within 45 days of any disaster event. It will regularly review each goal and objective to
determine its relevance to the changing situation throughout Will County. It will also monitor and
evaluate the mitigation strategies in this plan to ensure that the document reflects current hazard analyses,
development trends, code changes, and risk analyses and perceptions. The committee will hear progress
reports from the parties responsible for the various implementation actions to monitor progress and create
future action plans and mitigation strategies. It will review the plan when other plans are being updated,
such as capital improvement project plans and comprehensive plan updates to ensure consistency.
The participating jurisdictions and Will County recognize the importance of effectively communicating
with the public about the community’s hazards and what they can do to be prepared and mitigate their
threats. Continued public involvement is an important part of implementing, monitoring, and maintaining
the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. Will County EMA has provided a forum to
educate the public and solicit input, in order to effectively involve residents in the update and review of
the plan, as members of the Planning Committee.
Will County EMA, with active participation of county departments, local jurisdictions, and organizations,
will maintain and update the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. The update of this
plan will occur every five years as mandated by DMA2K. The Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee
will continue to solicit additional members and gather each year to assess the status of the mitigation
actions. Public input will be solicited throughout the year through a variety of methods that include
public meetings, website postings, and other means to provide a conduit to the community.

FEMA Mitigation Plan Review Tool
The Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan is designed to meet the requirements of
DMA2K, while also developing a useable document to identify opportunities to alleviate the impact
and/or consequence of hazards on all of the communities of Will County. To ensure that the plan meets
the requirements of DMA2K, the Mitigation Project Team cross-referenced the All Hazard Mitigation
Plan with FEMA’s Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool. FEMA uses this tool to evaluate mitigation plans.
In addition, the tool identifies where each plan element is located within the plan document. The review
tool can also be used as part of an internal quality assurance procedure.

CHAPTER 2: WILL COUNTY COMMUNITY OVERVIEW
A community overview is presented to provide background information in order to put the risk assessment
into perspective. The community overview also aids in the evaluation of proposed mitigation measures.
To ensure the integration of the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan with other county,
jurisdictional, and emergency management planning documents, portions of this section originating from
the Will County Hazard Analysis were updated with recent changes within Will County and the
participating jurisdictions and supplemented with information on hazard mitigation planning.
Historical Overview
The Will County area was inhabited over time by various native American Indian tribes as far back as 3,000
to 4,000 years ago. People were drawn to the area for its abundance of resources and accessibility to other
parts of the country. A rich supply of hunting game, timber, fertile soil, and water sources met the needs
of the early inhabitants and the old Sauk Trail along with the Des Plaines, DuPage, and Kankakee Rivers
afforded routes for travel. The county was formed in 1836 from Cook and Iroquois Counties.
The county’s name honors Dr. Conrad Will who was a member of the first Constitutional Convention and
the Illinois Legislature until his death in 1835. Will County included an area north of the Kankakee River,
now part of Kankakee County, but its present boundaries have remained as established in 1852. It was
originally divided into ten election districts and seventeen road districts and now consists of twenty-four
townships.

Geography and Climate
Will County, covering an area of 846 square miles, is one of
Illinois’ 102 counties. The county is part of the Chicago
Metropolitan area, located in northeastern Illinois. Joliet, the
county seat, is located approximately forty miles southwest of
Chicago at an altitude of approximately 600 feet above sea level.
The continental glaciers that covered Illinois thousands of years
ago created the relatively flat terrain. As the Wisconsonian, the
last glacier in Illinois, retreated and melted, the lakes and rivers
that were important to the county’s early inhabitants were formed.
Today, water transportation remains important for the shipment of
goods by the county’s three main rivers: Des Plaines, DuPage, and
Kankakee. These rivers run along the Chicago Sanitary and Ship
Canal and Illinois and Michigan (I&M) Canal and provide a
connection between the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico.
After glaciation, prairies formed over most of Illinois. The morainal and Grand Prairie sections
predominated in Will County. The windblown silt deposited during glacial retreat and prairie vegetation
created a mollisol or dark-colored soil
found in the northern half or two-thirds of
Illinois. This type of soil is conducive to
the growing of corn, oats, soybean, wheat,
and hay that are grown by today’s farmers.
The area experiences a humid continental
climate with hot summers and cold
winters. Three air masses influence the
county’s climate. Generally in the winter,
cold, dry air flows down from Canada.
The summer months experience warm,
very humid air from the Gulf of Mexico.
Dry, warm air from the Pacific Ocean
occurs especially in the fall. Will County Township Map

Maximum temperatures in the
summer average 85° F in July,
but temperatures have been
known to reach into the 100’s.
Minimum temperatures in the
winter average 12° F in
January; however, lows have
occurred in the –20’s.
Humidity in the summer and
wind in the winter intensify the
problems of extreme
temperature that endanger the
population. Average rainfall
for the area is 35.8” and average snowfall is 38.6”. The length of the growing season is approximately 165
days with the last spring frost occurring around May 1st and the first fall frost occurring near October 15th
of each year.

Per the State Climatologist Office for Illinois:
Climate conditions have effects
on human health and safety.
Temperature extremes and
storms are responsible for
deaths and health problems.
Each year, 20 to 30 deaths in
Illinois are attributed to floods,
winter storms, tornadoes, and
lightning.”
Heat and cold waves are other
climate hazards associated with
high death tolls. Illinois
experienced two of its most
deadly heat waves during the
1990s. The 1995 heat wave, the
deadliest on record, led to 753
Illinois deaths. That heat wave
and another in 1999, caused
major power outages in the
Chicago metropolitan area.
Annually, 74 deaths are
attributed to heat and 18 deaths
are attributed to cold, far
exceeding deaths due to tornadoes, lightning, and floods.
Flooding is the single most damaging weather hazard in Illinois. Ever-increasing heavy precipitation
since the 1940s has led to increased flood peaks on Illinois’ rivers. Flood losses in Illinois, $257
million annually since 1983, are the third highest in the nation. Within Illinois and the Midwest,
flood losses have been increasing at a greater rate than elsewhere in the nation. Over a 45-year
period (1955-1999), Illinois had $5.195 billion in flood losses; 74% of these losses have occurred
since 1985.

Severe Weather
Illinois experiences about 29 tornadoes annually. Peak months are April-June (63 percent of the total),
but tornadoes have occurred in all months. Although Illinois averages four tornado-related fatalities
per year, the number varies widely from year to year.
Thunderstorms account for 50-60 percent of annual precipitation and are quite common in Illinois with
an average of 60 storms (far northeast) to 80 storms (southwest). Nearly half of all thunderstorm days
occur during the June-August period. Similarly, the average number of cloud-to-ground lightning
strikes per square mile ranges from 5 strikes (northeast) to more than 11 strikes (southwest). Some
thunderstorms produce hail, and annual average hail-days vary from 3.3 days (southwest) to less than
1.8 days (northeast).
Climatic Controls
Five factors control the continental climate of Illinois: sun, weather systems, topography, urban areas,
and Lake Michigan. Two major controls are latitude (reflecting the amount of solar input) and weather
systems (air masses and cyclonic storms). The effects of topography, Lake Michigan, and urban areas
are of lesser significance because they influence local climate conditions, rather than conditions
statewide. (Source: https://www.isws.illinois.edu/statecli/General/Illinois-climate-narrative.htm)
Climatic Controls
Sun
Primary energy source for virtually all weather phenomena, in large part, determines air
temperatures and seasonal variations
Solar energy is three to four times greater in early summer than in early winter at Illinois'
mid-latitude location, which results in warm summers and cold winters when combined
with the state's inland location
Weather Systems
Second major factor affecting the state's climate
Create wide variety of weather conditions that occur almost daily as a result of varying air
masses and passing storm systems
Polar jet stream often is located near or over Illinois, especially in fall, winter, and spring,
and is the focal point for the creation and movement of low-pressure storm systems,
characterized by clouds, winds, and precipitation
Settled weather associated with high pressure systems is generally ended every few days
by the passage of low-pressure systems
Topography
Shawnee Hills extend across southern Illinois and have elevations 500 to 900 feet higher
than the surrounding terrain
This change in elevation is enough to increase annual precipitation by about 10 to 15
percent

Climatic Controls (cont.)
Urban Areas
Buildings, parking lots, roads, and industrial activities make the urban climate noticeably
different than that of surrounding rural areas
Chicago tends to be warmer by 2°F, on average, especially at night
Also enhance summertime precipitation downwind of the city and cause changes in
humidity, cloudiness, wind speed and direction
Lake Michigan
Influences the climate of northeastern Illinois, especially Chicago
Large thermal mass of the lake tends to moderate temperatures, causing cooler summers
and warmer winters
Major benefit is cool lake breezes that provide some relief from summer heat
Also tends to increase cloudiness in the area and suppress summer precipitation
Winter precipitation is enhanced by lake-effect snows that occur when winds blow from
the north or northeast
Winds allow air to pass over the relatively warm lake, boosting storm system energy and
water content, leading to increased snowfall

Climate and the Economy
Major businesses in Illinois are highly climate sensitive. Crop yields are dependent upon climate
conditions because irrigation generally is not used. Illinois serves as the nation’s center for air and
surface transportation. With the nation’s second busiest passenger airport (O’Hare) and the rail hub of
the nation at Chicago, Illinois also is the heart of the nation’s trucking industry. Each form of
transportation is influenced by weather and climate extremes, and resulting delays in shipments are a
major problem for manufacturers in Illinois.
Vegetation
Will County is located at the northeastern edge of the Tall Grass Prairie biome. The area was historically
dominated by prairie and scattered woodlands, with wetlands associated with depressions and riverine
systems. Much of the original vegetative communities of Will County are no longer present. The county
is now made up primarily of agricultural land with various urban and suburban communities. Remnants of
pre-settlement vegetation can still be found in the various Will County Forest Preserve District preserves
and greenways, Illinois State Parks, and Illinois Nature Preserves located within the county.
Rivers
Three major river corridors are located within Will County; these corridors are associated with the DuPage
River, the Kankakee River, and the Des Plaines River. Various creeks feed into the three main rivers,
including Forked, Manhattan, Pike, Rock Run, Trim, Spring, Deer, Lily Cache, Grant, Thorn, Jackson,
Prairie, Hickory, Sugar, and Plum Creeks.

The DuPage River is 84 miles in length and travels through DuPage County and western Will County. The
DuPage River is the largest tributary of the Des Plaines River and has two branches, the East Branch and
the West Branch. The DuPage River enters Will County in Bolingbrook and travels south to Channahon
where it joins the Des Plaines River and turns west, until they both join the Kankakee River to become the
Illinois River.
The Kankakee River enters Will County in the southwestern section of the county. It traverses west through
the southwestern-most portion of the county. It eventually joins the Des Plaines River to form the Illinois
River.
The Des Plaines River flows southward from Wisconsin until it becomes adjacent to the Chicago Sanitary
and Ships Canal in Lockport Township. It traverses south adjacent to the Chicago Sanitary and Ships Canal
and the I & M Canal, passes east of Romeoville, and turns southwest just south of Joliet. The Des Plaines
River joins the Kankakee River just west of Joliet to form the Illinois River.
The stream corridors in Will County are important natural features and are protected by Will County’s
Stream and Wetland Protection Ordinance which prohibits development within stated setbacks. The Will
County Land Resource Management Plan, Open Space Element states that “streams and river systems are
corridors of exceptional significance for resource protection and preservation of important natural habitats
in the county.”
Land Use Patterns
Will County has a mixture of land uses that range from
urban to rural areas. Over the years, changes in land use
have been decided by the more than thirty different
authorities in charge of planning and land use regulation. In
2011, the County Board approved a new Land Resource
Management Plan (LRMP).
Community members realize the importance of the
development of a regional plan that coordinates the
management of land use within the county. The Will County
Illinois Land Resource Management Plan provides the county and local authorities with a framework for
the form and shape of future growth. The idea of the plan is to identify the county as a leader on county-
wide land use issues. It is also to assist local authorities with the site-specific issues of growth while
187
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 2: Will County Community Overview
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 2 - 9
supporting open space, farms, and environmentally sensitive land that has characterized Will County over
the years.1
Currently, there are over 500,000 acres of land in Will County. Approximately 100,000 acres are developed
for non-agricultural use. Almost 248,000 acres are used for agricultural purposes with the remaining
100,000 acres vacant. This provides land beyond expected future demands. Urban areas are presently
found in the northern half of the county. Joliet, the county seat, is the largest city in Will County. Other
urban centers located in the northern townships are Plainfield, Lockport, New Lenox, Mokena, and
Frankfort along with Monee and Crete found in the most eastern townships. The City of Naperville and
the Village of Bolingbrook are urban centers; however, their boundaries span both Will County and DuPage
County.

The cities are located near major transportation corridors (I-55, I-80, I-57, freight and commuter trains,
regional buses, and waterways) allowing businesses and residents convenient access to shipping, work,
shopping, and entertainment. Because of this convenience and availability of jobs in the Chicago
Metropolitan area, all of these communities are now encountering rapid growth that is expected to continue
into the coming decades. To preserve open space and agricultural land use, the county’s land use plan
encourages future growth to be concentrated in existing urban areas. The plan recommends that
development should occur in a logical and rational pattern to make effective use of existing infrastructure
and avoid “sprawl” or “leapfrog” patterns.
The rural areas are typified by agricultural uses, farm homesteads, and agricultural service businesses. Non-
farm homes are generally built on larger lots without municipally oriented services such as water and sewer.
Though there are farms scattered in between the cities and developments in northern Will County, rural
development predominates in the southern half of the county. The county’s land use plan indicates that the
rural development and open space form is a pattern that is desirable and one that should be preserved.

The South Suburban Airport is a major public aviation facility proposed for an unincorporated site in
southern Will County. This new airport construction project will be designed to be a cargo-only facility.
Upon completion, the airport will become the third major airport serving the Chicago city region. It will
be flanked by the five municipalities of: Crete, Monee, Peotone, Beecher and University Park, and the
hamlet Goodenow. The difficulty is to balance the demands for growth with the need to maintain
agricultural viability and rural culture. Should the South Suburban Airport become a reality, the demand
for growth in the southeast sector of the county will be intensified. This new airport will help to alleviate
the congestion at Chicago’s two airports, but it will dramatically impact the area within the surrounding ten
miles of the proposed new facility. Thus, the time is now for the county and local authorities to work
together to prepare a plan that will meet the needs of the area while preserving the rural development form
and property rights of farmers and agricultural businesses.

In the mid 1990’s, federal and
state law created a special
district to re-utilize land (24,000
acres) formerly occupied by the
Joliet Army Ammunition Plant
(JOAAP). Four distinct land
uses were created. The first is a
new national cemetery (Lincoln
National Cemetery), the second
is the preservation of prairie
(Midewin National Tallgrass
Prairie), another is a Will
County landfill (Prairie View
Recycling and Disposal
Facility), and last are two
industrial developments (Deer
Run Industrial Park and the
Island City Industrial Park). All
four uses are endorsed by the
Will County’s land use plan.
The development preserves open space while providing important economic development.
Included in the industrial development is an intermodal facility that is expected to ship between 1.7 and 4.6
million cargo containers and create 8,000 jobs. The recycling and disposal facility anticipates twenty to
twenty-three years of operation that will accept 14 million tons of waste excluding the waste from the
former arsenal site. This development suits the use of this land while utilizing existing infrastructure and
respecting the natural landscape.
The Joliet Arsenal Enterprise Zone (JAEZ) was created in 2002 by Will County to foster development in
and around the former Joliet Army Ammunition Plant, known as the Joliet Arsenal, which was
decommissioned by the US Army in 1993. The Zone has a successful history of creating employment
and investment opportunities at the Elwood CenterPoint Intermodal Facility, the Local 150 training
center, the Exxon Mobile refinery, and other projects. The Zone has been expanded on multiple
occasions in the past, most recently in 2010 with the Ridge Port Logistics Center in Wilmington and in

Transportation Network
As in the past, Will County’s transportation infrastructure is essential to its economic well-being and quality
of life. Being close to Chicago has led Will County to develop an intricate and varied transportation system
for the conveyance of raw materials, finished goods, workers, and tourists in and out of Chicago and its
metropolitan area. It consists of roads, commuter and freight rail services, regional buses, waterways, and
bikeways that transport goods and people. Because transportation is so important to the county, the county
has adopted a 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan.
The concept of the plan stresses the relationship between land use policy and transportation facilities and
service. It identifies the strength and weaknesses of the current infrastructure, links transportation with
land-use patterns, anticipates transportation needs for the coming decades, and provides recommendations
for solving problems, meeting needs, and addressing transportation expansion within the county. As the
county experiences growth, particularly in the north and central sections of the county, improvements in
the current transportation infrastructure and new transportation routes will be necessary to accommodate
the increase in population, businesses, and industries.
There are three major travel corridors within Will County: first, a northeasterly flow to and from Chicago
from the northwestern sections of the county; second, a north-south flow to and from Chicago from the
central and eastern sections of the county; and third, a north-south inter-suburban flow between Will and
DuPage Counties that provide work commuting routes.
Buildings
The largest metropolitan area within Will County is Joliet, the county seat. Joliet possesses both a
government center and a rich cultural heritage. The central downtown area is home to both city and county
government services; Joliet City Hall and the Will County Courthouse are located in the central downtown
area. In addition to government services, Joliet is home to the Rialto Square Theatre, which is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places and is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful theaters in
the United States. Also located in Joliet, the Jacob Henry Mansion is a historic landmark which is used for
special events.

Will County Land Use Department also maintains a register of historic places. The Will County Local
Landmark Program describes the difference between the National Register and Will County landmark status
as follows:
“National Register properties are designated after much research, documentation, and review by
the State and National Park Service. Although National Register (NR) properties are designated
as such after intense scrutiny and listing opens up financial opportunities, this designation is
primarily honorary. Will County landmark status is protective and where a National Register
property can change overtime without local oversight (review for NR properties takes place only
for federal and state-funded undertakings), if you own a county landmark, you can be assured that
it will remain for future generations.”
Following are the places that are considered Historic Landmarks on this register. Additional information

Transportation
Roads: The highway system consists of four interstate highways that include I-55, I-57, I-80, and I-355.
Interstates 55 and 80 intersect in Joliet, the county seat, providing high accessibility. The state highways
include IL 1, 7, 50, 53, 59, 102, 113, 126, 171, and 394 along with U.S. Routes 6, 30, 45, and 52. Fifty-six
county highways exist to provide service between U.S. and state highways. Township roads serve the needs
of the farming community and municipal streets serve local and through traffic within a city or village.
The Will County 2030 Transportation Framework Plan identified the fact that substantial growth is
forecasted for Will County, this growth will require transportation improvements. The plan makes specific
suggestions for regional interstate, major roadway, arterial streets, and intersection realignments to
accommodate this growth.4 Will County Connects 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan serves as an
update to the Will County 2030 Transportation Framework Plan and identifies the many changes in the
county’s transportation needs since the 2030 Plan was developed. The 2040 Plan helps to prioritize
transportation investments and relate those priorities to transportation partners at the State, regional, and
local levels.5
In 2019, Will County received from the State of Illinois’ ReBuild Illinois and Five Year Multi-year Plan
for Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Capital Plan $1.2 billion for the reconstruction of I-80

from Minooka to New Lenox. An additional $21.5 billion from IDOT will fund the following projects over
the next five years:
I-57 at South Suburban Airport Interchange Project - $205.5 million
I-55 at Airport Rd. & Rte. 126 Interchanges - $181.4 million
I-55 at Illinois 129 and Lorenzo Rd. Interchanges - $148.7 million

Rail, Bus, and Non-motorized Transportation: Four commuter
rail lines connect Will County to downtown Chicago: Metra Electric
from University Park, Metra Southwest Service to Manhattan, Metra
Heritage Corridor from Joliet through Lockport, and Metra Rock
Island District from Joliet through New Lenox and Mokena. There is
a need for Metra Commuter Rail improvements in the Heritage
Corridor, Rock Island District, Southwest Service, Electric district, and Southeast Service lines to

accommodate the growth that is forecasted for Will County.6 In addition, Amtrak provides interstate
passenger train travel. Bus service is provided through four types of transit service by the Pace System:
traditional fixed route, limited express bus, dial-a-ride, and custom service. The county region has very
limited non-motorized transportation in the form of bikeways and pedestrian paths.
Freight rail is also important to the economy of Will County. As with road and commuter rail systems,
freight rail systems lead in and out of the center of Chicago.
Rail shipments to, from, and within Illinois in 2014 measured
over 454 million tons and were comprised of coal, mixed
freight, food products, farm products, and chemicals.
Waterways: The Illinois water system provides additional
economic value to Will County. The Des Plaines River and
Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal cross through Will County
connecting Chicago and the Great Lakes to the Illinois River
that flows south to the Mississippi River and eventually leads
into the Gulf of Mexico. In 1999, tonnage of commodities shipped to, from, and within the state totaled

over 107.8 million. Goods shipped on the waterways consist of coal, petroleum, aggregates, grain,
chemicals, ores, minerals, iron, and steel. This transportation system faces the problem of delays to
commercial navigation traffic due to limited lockage capacity and increasing traffic. There are two
navigation locks in Will County. Lock chambers throughout the state are over 70 years old and were built
to accommodate 600-foot tows. Today’s tows are typically 1,110 feet in length necessitating double
lockages. Thus, their passage
requires more time and money.
Airports: A number of
general aviation airports exist
within the county: Joliet Park
District, Lewis University,
Howell Airport, Clow
International Airport, and
numerous small, privately held
airports. In addition to local
airports, there is easy
accessibility to Chicago’s
O’Hare International and
Midway Airports. Plans are
being debated for a South
Suburban Airport which
would be located in the
county’s Peotone area and
would demand additional
infrastructure to support
transportation needs and area
growth that would inevitably
result.

Population Characteristics
It is important to examine the population characteristics since densely populated areas typically experience
the majority of destruction during a disaster. Further, growing communities offer opportunities to identify
additional mitigation measures. Between 1990 and 2010, Will County’s population grew by over 320,000
people, nearly doubling its population in just twenty years. U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 population estimate
for the county is 690,743.

Approximately 85% of the county’s
population lives in the northern townships
of Wheatland, DuPage, Plainfield,
Lockport, Homer, Troy, Joliet, New
Lenox, and Frankfort. Accordingly, it is
also where the major urban areas are
concentrated and the most growth is being
experienced. The remaining townships,
with the exception of Monee and Crete, are
more rural in their characteristics. The age
distribution throughout the county
population is 25.8% for under 18 years old,
62.2% for 18 to 64 years, and 12.1% for ages 65 years and older.

Chapter 2: Will County Community Overview
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 2 - 30
Growth: Census statistics show that Will County is the fifth fastest growing county in the State of Illinois
since 2010. The county increased in population from just over 350,000 in 1990 to over 677,000 in 2010.
In 2019, estimates placed the county’s population at 690,743. Estimated population totals for Will County
is expected to grow by 9,567 over the next five years.
The townships that may expect to see significant growth are DuPage, Frankfort, Homer, Monee, New
Lenox, Plainfield, Troy, and Wheatland. Rapid employment growth will be seen in DuPage, Troy,
Frankfort, Monee, and Crete Townships. Should the proposed South Suburban Airport be built, higher
growth in population and employment will occur in Monee, Crete, Peotone, Will, and possibly Green
Garden and Washington townships.
Gender, Age, and Race:
The population of the county
is almost equally divided
between male and female.
The median age is 37.6 years
for the county, but a median
between three to eight years
higher is seen in the more
rural townships. County-
wide, the population is
predominantly white, 73.4%,
with more diverse
populations found in the
townships of Wheatland, DuPage, Lockport, Troy, Joliet, Monee, Crete, and Wesley. Blacks or African
Americans represent 11.2% of the county population and Hispanics or Latinos total 17%.

Language: English is the predominant language spoken at home throughout the county (79.9% of the
population five years and over). Spanish (7%), Indo-European (3.2%), and Asian and Pacific Island (1.4%)
were the other predominant languages spoken at home. Those who speak English less than “very well”
represent 4.6% of the county’s population five years and over. Individual townships have fairly similar
statistics with the exception being Joliet, Will, and rural townships.
In Joliet Township, English only is spoken at home in 80.3% of the population five years and over. The
rural townships tend to have an English only rate of approximately 95% with Spanish and Indo-European
being evenly split with a rate of approximately 2% each. These townships also have a lower rate, roughly
1%, of the population that does not speak English well.
Special Needs: Based on the 2000 census, there are approximately 59,972 people disabled within the
county’s population. Of the people ages under 18 years, 2.7% are disabled. The population of 18 to 64
years of age has a 6.88% disabled rate. Last, 31.9% of the county’s people 65 and older are disabled. This
pattern of distribution is consistent throughout most of the townships. Per the 2010 census, lower rates of
disability are seen in Wheatland Township’s population of five to twenty years (3.9%) and New Lenox and
Frankfort Townships’ sixty-five years and over population (31.8%, 30.2% respectively). Joliet Township
has a higher rate of disability (21.8%) in its twenty-one to sixty-four years population.

Economic Characteristics: Again, location is essential to Will County’s economic success. Will County
is proximate to Chicago, one of the nation’s major cities. O’Hare and Midway Airports, four interstate
highways, intermodal transport, railways, and waterways provide access for goods, services, and workers
to move in and out of Chicago. The county’s strategic location, available and affordable land, and more than
190 million square feet of industrial space make the county a very desirable location for business and industry.
Will County has become the largest inland port in North America, handling over 3 million twenty-foot equivalent
(TEU) containers annually. Will County has an employed labor force of almost 350,000 people that includes
skilled labor. Of the people age twenty-five years and older, 90.9% are high school graduates and 33.9%
have bachelor degrees or higher. Add to that, the county’s central location in a metropolitan area allows
businesses to draw from a seven-county labor force of 4.3 million people.
Approximately 7% of Will County residents have income below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Five
percent of all families and 27.8% of families whose head of household is female have income levels below
the poverty level (U.S. Census, 2017 estimate). Economics can also impact the ability to respond to or
recover from a disaster. Poorer residents may not have the resources to stockpile supplies for a disaster,
evacuate, or rebuild following a disaster.
Range of Entities: Business entities encompass manufacturing, retail, professional service, education
services, health care, real estate, and a growing entertainment industry. Major employers include
transportation and warehousing, accommodation and food services, government, construction, healthcare,
retail trade, and manufacturing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Will County is well positioned
for business growth for the next twenty years. The county’s strategic location; available and affordable
land; tremendous highway, rail, water, and air transportation assets; and more than 190 million square feet
of industrial space make it a very desirable location for business and industry. Couple that with a robust,
highly skilled local and regional workforce, low property taxes, and a pro-growth attitude among its thirty-
seven municipalities, Will County is a leading “job growth engine” in the Midwest. Will County has added
over 17,000 jobs in the last 3 years.

With almost 250,000 acres of farm land in Will County, there are just over 500 full time farms averaging
323 acres. The county’s climate and soil support a variety of agricultural commodities such as grains, hay,
fruits, vegetables, cattle, swine, sheep, and poultry. Market value of agricultural products sold is over $107
million consisting of crop sales (92%) and livestock sales (8%). Similar to Illinois’ total production, corn
(17 million bushels) and soybeans (4.6 million bushels) are the primary crops produced and swine (42,557

sold) the main livestock sold. The county’s transportation system allows easy shipment of crops and
livestock for processing and export.
Earnings: Per capita, personal income in 2018 was $52,953 and ranked 20th in the state, representing 84%
of the state’s average of $31,856. Median household income estimated by American Community Survey
is $83,504. This is an increase of approximately $12,000 since 2013.
As of 2018, there are over 227,000 housing units with a median value of $242,800 of which 80% are owner
occupied. The unemployment rate as of February, 2020, was 3.8%. Restrictions because of the COVID-
19 virus have raised the unemployment rate to 5.6% as of March, 2020.

Taxes: Various tax structures are applied to business, personal income, and property within Will County.
Federal and state income taxes are applied to personal and corporate income, but no local personal or
corporate income taxes exists. A state sales tax of 6.25% is applied to tangible personal property with local
sales tax rates varying from 0 to 2.5%. The state imposes a utility tax on electricity and natural gas supplies,
and some local governments also collect a utility tax. Local governments are authorized to collect property
taxes on real property that is assessed at 33.4% of market value. The typical tax rate per $100 of assessed
value is $6.62.
Incentives: Along with the application of federal, state, and local taxes, a number of tax incentives are
applied to promote development and expansion of businesses and rejuvenate economically distressed areas.
As an example, Joliet, Lockport, and Rockdale are part of the Des Plaines River Valley Enterprise Zone
that provides ten-year property tax abatement and other tax incentives on all real improvements that increase
the assessed valuation of property. Other forms of incentives to encourage business development,

expansion, modernization, and competitive improvement include participation loan programs, industrial
training programs, industrial revenue bonds, environmental bonds, venture funds, tax increment financing
(TIF), block grants, and various Small Business Administration (SBA) assistance programs. These
assistance programs are provided by federal, state, and
local sources.
Growth Resources: Encouraging growth, a number of
organizations provide business development resources to
expand the economy within the county. To name a few,
Will County Center for Economic Development provides
information and assistance in locating or expanding
businesses in Will County. The Illinois Department of
Commerce & Community Affairs is the state’s economic
development agency that provides programs and services designed to help Illinois businesses thrive in the
global economy. The Workforce Investment Board of Will County brings together a myriad of
employment, training, and educational services, transforming them into a comprehensive and easily
accessed system that supports the development of a world-class workforce. The Joliet Arsenal
Development Authority oversees the redevelopment of the former Joliet Army Ammunition Plant property.
Joliet City Center Partnership also provides programs and incentives to help new and expanding businesses.
Another business development resource is the Three Rivers Manufacturer’s Association that serves the
needs of local manufacturers in Will and Grundy Counties. The assistance and resources that organizations
like these provide make the area attractive to businesses looking to develop or expand.
Future: What the economic future holds for Will County can only be estimated. The Chicago metropolitan
area continues to grow outward into the surrounding counties. It is forecasted that the area as a whole will
grow by 25% while Will County is expected to grow over 60% within the next twenty years. The building
of the South Suburban Airport is a factor that will have the greatest effect on the county’s growth. If it is
built, there will be a large demand for services, infrastructure, workers, housing, schools, etc. to support its
function. This additional source for transportation of goods and people will increase the rate of business
development. This means there will be more people and property to protect from hazards, more technology
and businesses that may present a hazard, and more people and businesses that could attract or be affected
by societal hazards. Assessing the risks, planning, mitigating hazards, and preparing for emergencies will
remain essential activities to ensure the safety of Will County’s residents.

Essential Government Services
There are many community service organizations needed to effectively carry out the emergency
management plan in the event of an occurrence. Local law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency
medical services (EMS) are called first when an emergency occurs. Hospitals care for the sick and injured.
Law Enforcement: Law enforcement’s role is to safeguard lives and property, enforce the law, and
maintain order. Within Will County, there is a county sheriff’s office, thirty-three municipal police
departments, five special district police departments, six railroad police departments, and four
university police departments. The Illinois State Police also maintains a station north of Joliet.
Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Service: Municipal fire departments and local fire districts
safeguard lives and protect property by containing fires and responding to accidents or other
emergencies. The larger communities in Will County have full-time fire department staffs. The smaller
communities have volunteer staffs that respond when an emergency occurs. There are also several
special fire departments maintained by the major oil and chemical companies. EMS is responsible for
immediate medical attention. There are over twenty local EMS units within the county and several
private or corporate EMS units serving the community. For care beyond first aid, Will County has
three hospitals, Presence Central and Suburban Hospitals, Silver Cross Hospital and Medical Centers,
and AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center Bolingbrook. Silver Oaks Behavioral Hospital is
associated with Silver Cross Hospital and Medical Centers.
The Will County Health Department is another agency providing important services to the public, not
only in the event of an emergency, but also every day. They provide comprehensive public health
programs and primary health care and dental service for medically underserved residents. Public health
professionals work to prevent disease and promote a healthy environment for the county’s residents.
Throughout an emergency, public health consequences are evaluated, findings are reviewed, and
affected people are debriefed. The Epidemiology and Communicable Disease Program protects and
promotes the health of Will County residents through surveillance, field investigations, health
assessments, and epidemiologic studies. The program is designed to advise patients, as well as educate
patients and the public on how to prevent communicable diseases. Public health also supports the
provision of health care, evacuation of patients, hospital care coordination, public health information,
victim identification, and mortuary services. Emergencies may include, among others, hazardous
chemicals, contaminated food or water, infectious/communicable disease, floods, tornadoes, or
radiation exposure.

Schools: Will County currently has 29 school districts under the jurisdiction of the Will County
Regional Office of Education. This office oversees twenty elementary districts, three high school
districts, and six unit districts.7
Additionally, there are other school districts located within the county that may come under other
jurisdictions because their district boundaries are of a multi-county nature. High School Districts
located within Will County include Beecher, Channahon, Crete Monee, Joliet Township, Lincoln Way,
Lockport Township, Naperville, Peotone, Plainfield, Reed Cluster (Braidwood), Valley View

Non-Essential Government Services
Will County has a rich and diversified offering of publicly owned recreational facilities located
throughout the county. There are also several Illinois state parks located in the county. Channahon
State Park is the official trailhead for the I&M Canal State Trail. The I&M Canal State Trail is made
up of 61 miles of multi-purpose trail that ends at LaSalle/Peru. The Des Plaines Fish and Wildlife Area
in Wilmington offers fishing and hunting opportunities, as well as an 80-acre nature preserve.
Additionally, the State of Illinois recognizes ten dedicated nature preserves in Will County. A
dedicated nature preserve is designed to preserve the natural features of the land; nature preserves do
not necessarily allow public access but most do. Only high quality natural areas qualify for this
designation.
There are two federally-owned parks located within Will County. The I & M Canal National Heritage
Canal is operated by the National Park Service and serves to maintain the historic and cultural heritage
associated with what was originally a 97-mile canal from the Chicago River to the Illinois River.
Today, the Park Service offers a variety of recreational and interpretive services for visitors. The U.S.
Forest Service operates the first tallgrass prairie in the United States, Midewin National Tallgrass

Prairie. Established in 1996, this 15,454-acre property once belonged to the Joliet Army Ammunition
Plant. Today, it is being restored to tallgrass prairie and is dedicated to conserving, restoring, and
enhancing natural habitat. A significant number of threatened and endangered species are located at
Midewin. More information may be found at www.fs.fed.us/mntp.
The county also owns and operates a variety of open-space parcels through the Will County Forest
Preserve District. The county currently has almost forty improved forest preserves, thirty unimproved
forest preserves, and fifteen trails.

Utilities
Utilities provide power needed by homes and businesses to operate. Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) is
one of the nation’s largest electric utilities with $15 billion in revenues and four million people across
northern Illinois as a customer base. ComEd works with businesses to provide in-depth site selection
information, critical utility analysis, and access to Illinois business resources. With the passage of the Smart
Grid Law in 2011, ComEd has embarked on a ten-year, $2.6 billion dollar infrastructure program to
modernize the northern Illinois energy grid. The improvements have provided improved, reliability and
service, options for energy savings, and jobs and development in the communities.
Nuclear Power: Nuclear power is an important source for
generating electricity and accounts for 52.2% of Illinois’
electricity source. Braidwood Nuclear Power Station is a
two-unit nuclear generating facility, located within Will
County, twenty-two miles southwest of Joliet. Dresden
Nuclear Generating Station is located in Grundy County
outside of Morris, but its ten-mile emergency planning zone
includes part of the southwest area of Will County.
A benefit of nuclear power is clean air, as no harmful gases are emitted into the environment by the process.
The concern, of course, is radiation exposure that may occur either as a result of an accident or sabotage.
Thus, careful security measures and emergency management planning for these facilities are necessary to
ensure the safety of the public.
Natural Gas: Nicor Gas is one of the largest providers in its industry with a customer base of 2.2 million
residential, public sector, and business customers. Nicor has provided natural gas service in northern
Illinois for over six decades. Their service area covers roughly 17,000 square miles and supports more than
34,000 miles of gas main. Nicor has connections to eight interstate pipelines, is accessible to all major gas
producing areas in the county, and has an extensive system of underground gas storage. Flexible rates,
options to choose alternate commodity suppliers, a competitively priced gas commodity, and reliable
delivery allow customers to depend on Nicor Gas.
Telecommunications: AT&T is the world’s largest telecommunication company providing connectivity,
technology, media, and entertainment. AT&T serves 100 million U.S. customers providing them TV,
221

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 2: Will County Community Overview
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 2 - 43
mobile, and broadband services. They also serve almost 3 million business customers with high-speed,
highly secure connectivity. Their revenues in 2019 were $142.4 billion.
Community Vulnerability
The activities and businesses that attract people to live and
work in Will County and bring economic stability to the
area also present hazards that put the population at risk.
Relating to the concerns that arise from the use of utilities,
hazards exist from the operation of the many chemical
companies located in the county. Petroleum refineries
and product manufacturing; paper, soap and cleaning
compounds; and plastics and rubber manufacturing all
utilize or produce materials that pose fire, toxin, or explosion risks that can injure people and damage
property and the environment. These hazardous occurrences can occur on site or while the materials or
products are being transported by truck, rail, or boat. To balance the economic benefit to the county with
the hazards of chemical production, adequate safety measures must be in place to protect workers and the
surrounding population.
There are also growing vulnerabilities with the rapidly expanding intermodal transportation system that is
putting Will County on the map as the largest inland port. Trucks, trains, and barges are putting a burden
on the infrastructure that is compounded by exposure to the elements. A recent example being a viaduct
traveled daily by heavy trucks was destroyed by heavy spring rains. Warehouses are subject to damage by
natural elements and possible fire or explosion because of their contents. Dangerous accidents occur as a
result of the number of trucks that may be carrying hazardous materials or sharing the roads with local
commuters.
On a daily basis, the primary purpose of school facilities is education. The public school districts within
Will County, in addition to a number of private schools, educate students who attend kindergarten through
twelfth grade. One junior college and three four-year colleges operate within the boundaries of the county.
These facilities serve the important daily function of education, but they can also act as a resource for
emergency management by utilizing the school facilities for community centers in the event of an
occurrence.
222
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 2: Will County Community Overview
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 2 - 44
Community centers may be needed to accommodate the population displaced by evacuation, to act as a
medical center, or to house emergency personnel coming to assist from outside the county. These facilities
can also be the target of the many hazards facing the county. Because of the number of students and faculty
concentrated within a facility, emergency management must be prepared to handle high numbers of injuries
or deaths should the facility be damaged during an occurrence. Tornadoes, fires, heating equipment
explosions, food poisoning, bomb threats, or terrorist type attacks are all potential disasters that must be
prepared for through emergency management.
Part of the county’s economy is the entertainment industry. Historic
sites, theaters, park district facilities, hunting, fishing, boating, and
golf are many of the leisure activities enjoyed by residents of Will
County. There are also casino boats, motor sports complexes, and a
baseball park which attract local community members and people
from the surrounding Chicago metropolitan area. Economically these
entertainment centers bring added revenue from ticket sales, restaurants, and hotel services. But like the
schools, there are security issues that must be addressed to protect the hundreds or thousands of people
attending events from the effects of natural, technological, and societal hazards. Preparations must be in
place to effectively manage any emergencies that may occur.
Recent events point out the county’s and world’s vulnerability to pandemics. To ease the burden on
hospitals and maximize available bed space and equipment, the world’s economic and social structure have
been closed except for essential services. Quickly, public health and researchers began searching for
treatment options, protection measures, and development of a cure. Manufacturing turned their production
towards needed medical equipment. Logistic efforts focused on moving supplies and creating additional
hospital/treatment centers to care for COVID-19 patients.
Profile Summary
Understanding the geography, activities, population characteristics, economy, and community services is
important to identifying the hazards facing a community, perceiving the effects hazards will have on people
and property, determining the vulnerability of the population, and surmising the probability that an
emergency will occur. This information base provides the backdrop for assessing the hazards that should
be addressed for the protection and well-being of the community. The preparation of the hazard analysis
is part science but also part art. Facts are combined with experience, perceptions, priorities, and culture to
identify and develop a ranking of the hazards to be used for emergency planning.
223
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 2: Will County Community Overview
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 2 - 45
Keep in mind that community characteristics continually change and a key element of Will County’s future
is growth. Thus, the hazard analysis is not a static process. As changes occur, the hazard analysis will need
to be re-evaluated and modified to address the changing needs of the county.
Significant Future Development Plans
It is important for the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan to be incorporated into other
county plans. The following is a discussion of Will County’s development initiatives. Hazard mitigation
should be incorporated wherever feasible.
Land Resource Management Plan
The Will County Land Resource Management Plan was developed to establish a framework which allows
local communities to work with regional entities in order to allow for carefully planned land development
and management during Will County’s projected growth. The following priority issues were identified in
the plan:
Regional coordination among various government entities,
The need for regional open-space and agricultural protection,
The need for environmental protection,
The quality and timing of new development,
Automotive transportation needs,
Promoting a compact (non-sprawled) form of development,
Housing density and variety, and
Non-automotive transportation needs.
The Land Resource Management Plan identifies goals and strategies to fulfill the priority issues identified.
Additionally, the plan provides use concepts that provide guidance to local communities on how to manage
land use by such categories as development, open space, transportation, historic preservation, and
stormwater management.
A Forms & Concepts Handbook accompanies the Land Resource Management Plan, in which regional
development forms should be promoted. Development use concepts are provided to guide local
communities in assessing specific development proposals to see if they fit with the community’s land use
form. Specific development forms discussed in this handbook are:
Rural areas
Hamlets
224
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 2: Will County Community Overview
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 2 - 46
Towns
Urban communities
Suburban communities
Interstate access locations
Former Joliet Army Ammunition Plant area
South Suburban Airport
Specific development use concepts designed to protect the chosen development form are provided in the
handbook. These development use concepts include:
Agriculture
Conservation design
Conventional residential suburban
Traditional residential
Multi-family complex
Employment campuses
Regional commercial
Mid-scale commercial
Neighborhood commercial
Free standing industry and office
Projects of regional impact
An Open Space Element handbook also accompanies the Land Resource Management Plan. This handbook
promotes initiatives for managing development in high priority areas to create greenway corridors as well
as create large preserves for the protection of biodiversity. This handbook also provides criteria for
identifying land for inclusion in the open space system.
Will County 2030 Transportation Framework Plan
The Will County 2030 Transportation Framework Plan and Will Connects 2040 Long Range
Transportation Plan are the outcome of a collaborative effort among municipalities, townships, and
regional agencies. The plans were written to guide transportation improvements through the year 2040 for
all modes of transportation, including roads, public transportation, railroads, bikeways, pedestrian,
equestrian, and airport transportation.
225
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 2: Will County Community Overview
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 2 - 47
The Transportation Framework Plan identified the fact that substantial growth is forecasted for Will
County; this growth will require transportation improvements. DuPage, Wheatland, Homer, Lockport,
New Lenox, Frankfort, Plainfield, Monee, and Crete were identified as the townships predicted to
experience the greatest amount of growth and in need of the greatest amount of transportation
improvements. Will Township will also experience significant increases in transportation needs if the South
Suburban Airport is built. Continued growth in the east, southwest, northwest and west central areas will
require improved Metra commuter train service.
These plans make specific suggestions for roadway improvements, including major roadways, arterial
streets, and intersection realignments. Additionally, specific recommendations are made for regional
arterial improvements, corridor studies, Metra commuter rail improvements, and Pace bus system
improvements. The intent is to know immediate and future needs in order to coordinate with Federal, State,
and local partners and maximize funding as it becomes available.
Will County Stormwater Management Plan
The Will County Stormwater Management Plan represents a coordinated effort on the part of Will County
and its municipalities to manage issues as they pertain to floodplain and stormwater management. Planning
activities are coordinated through the Will County Stormwater Management Planning Committee. The
Committee focuses on existing stormwater management programs as well as issues related to future
development. A major focus area is the adoption of a county-wide stormwater ordinance to ensure
consistency of approach and to coordinate stormwater issues that extend beyond political boundaries. The
reduction of risk brought about by flooding is an important goal of the Stormwater Management Plan and
the Stormwater Management Planning Committee.

CHAPTER 3: ALL HAZARD RISK ASSESSMENT SUMMARY
Will County EMA has been proactive in identifying risks. In 2003 and 2004, Will County EMA first
published several hazard and vulnerability assessments including the Will County Hazard Analysis, Will
County Terrorism Vulnerability Assessment (not for Public Distribution), and the Will County Terrorism
Vulnerability Assessment of Critical Infrastructure Results (not for Public Distribution). Will County
EMA recognizes that the assessment and analysis of vulnerability to the county is a definitive measure of
the risk associated with each individual hazard.
In order to effectively and efficiently integrate existing documents and operations, the updated 2020 Will
County Hazard Analysis has been incorporated into the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation
Plan. This allows Will County to identify mitigation objectives, strategies, and actions that address all of
Will County’s risks. The Will County Terrorism Vulnerability Assessment and the Terrorism Vulnerability
Assessment of Critical Infrastructure Results were not incorporated into this document due to the sensitive
information that is contained in these reports.
Will County developed a hazard risk assessment in 2003. This document was updated in 2008 and 2013,
as part of the All-Hazard Mitigation Plan. Using this assessment as a baseline document and incorporating
new data that encompasses the years 2014-2020, the Will County planning team updated and re-developed
a comprehensive all-hazards risk assessment that thoroughly analyzed the county’s natural, technological,
and societal hazard risks. The planning team re-evaluated and updated the following elements in the
previously developed risk assessment: hazard identification, inventory of community assets vulnerable to
the hazards, hazard events profile, magnitude, history, probability, impacts, flood insurance claims,
repetitive losses, and future development trends. The committee decided to utilize the rating system
identified in the original 2008 plan.
The 2020 Will County Hazard Analysis utilizes a formal, structured procedure to develop mitigation and
emergency operation plans. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed a
process for assessing and evaluating hazards. Will County chose this process in order to reduce
inconsistencies and promote a common base for completing the analysis by defining criteria and providing
a scoring system. Four criteria were used to describe and assess the potential hazards; the four criteria
include:
227
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 3: All Hazard Risk Assessment Summary
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 3 - 2
History – past record of occurrences of the specified hazard. It is a guide of what has occurred
in the past but is not a guarantee of what may occur in the future.
Vulnerability – pertains to the people that might be killed, injured, or contaminated and to
property that might be destroyed, damaged, or contaminated due to the occurrences of a
specified hazard.
Maximum Threat – consists of the impacts from a ‘worst case’ scenario of a specified hazard
and is where the greatest impact to people and property is expected and assessed.
Probability – refers to the likelihood of the occurrence of a specified hazard. It is expressed as
the number of chances per year that an event of a specific intensity will occur.
Each of the four criteria is given a weighting factor as one criterion can be judged to be more important
than another:
History 2 points
Vulnerability 5 points
Maximum Threat 10 points
Probability 7 points
Each of the four criteria were evaluated and given a description of the likelihood or impact of the event.
The descriptive terms used were low, medium, and high. Each of the three descriptive terms is given a
numerical value:
Low 1 point
Medium 5 points
High 10 points
The composite score for each hazard is calculated by multiplying the descriptive numerical value assigned
to each weighted criterion score. Each weighted score is summed to determine the hazards composite
score.
The following is a list of the natural, technological, and societal hazards investigated, while a summary of
the 2020 Will County Hazard Analysis is shown on the following pages.

the urban areas of Will County. Will County has been declared a
Presidential Disaster area in 1974, 1981, 1985 1996, 2008, and
2013 due to flooding. One of Will County’s greatest floods occurred
along the Des Plaines River in 1996.
Flash floods are a result of torrential rainfall
over a short period of time, a sudden release of
water from a dam or lock failure, or breakup of
an ice jam.

Will County has experienced 65 incidents of Flood and/or Flash
Flooding since 1996 with six Federal disaster declarations.
Ice jams develop when mild temperatures
occur in a location with deep snow cover and
frozen rivers. Large chunks of ice accumulate
near river obstructions (i.e. bridges, dams)
which cause flooding to the surrounding area.
Select areas:
Des Plaines

The Kankakee River in the Wilmington areas has been the most
prevalent area where ice jams occur. See page 4-103.
Extreme Heat
Prolonged periods of extreme heat and
humidity have a deleterious effect upon a
community, particularly the elderly and those
who cannot afford cooling capabilities.
Heatstroke and heat exhaustion are more
intense in urban areas. Other effects of
extreme heat are water shortages, fire hazards,
excessive demands for energy, damaged
crops, and danger to livestock.

Hazard Loss Modeling
To supplement the impact analysis and risk determination, a hazard loss model and analysis was
performed for select scenarios for natural, technological, and societal hazards. The scenarios selected
were based on historical occurrences of disasters, availability of data, and the severity of the hazard risk.
The hazard loss analysis process utilized Hazards U.S. - Multi-hazard (HAZUS-MH) modeling, GIS
analysis, and available historical disaster data and information to conduct quantitative analysis to estimate
the loss due to the selected natural, technological and societal hazard events. HAZUS-MH is a powerful
risk assessment software program for analyzing potential losses from floods, hurricane winds and
earthquakes. In HAZUS-MH, current scientific and engineering knowledge is coupled with the latest
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to produce estimates of hazard related damage before,
or after, a disaster occurs.
The analysis reports obtained from the HAZUS-MH model includes the following:
Estimation of the losses to structures and contents
Estimation of the losses to structure use and function
Projection of human losses
Estimation of the primary direct and indirect loss
The HAZUS-MH and GIS analyses were used to determine which individual assets were vulnerable to
the largest potential losses; by adding the structure loss, content loss, and function loss for each asset to
determine the total loss. This process produced the following:
Calculation of the losses to each asset
Calculation of the estimated damages for each hazard event
Creation of a map that shows a composite of the areas of highest loss
Many of the human-induced hazards provide some unique implications for loss estimation because these
events can take place with different magnitudes, in any location, at any time, and under various
circumstances. Because the characteristics of many of the human-induced events are not definitive, a
generalized loss analysis was conducted. The following scenarios were assessed and analyzed utilizing
GIS data and HAZUS-MH modeling.

The Hazard Loss Modeling findings and reports are provided in Appendix B.
With population growth, the expansion of intermodal transportation, and the adoption of DFIRMS within
the county since the last update of this plan, a mitigation action has been included in this plan to update
the Hazard Loss Modeling. It is anticipated that the changes within the county since the original
modeling may possible show an increase in the impact of the hazards. If so, updated modeling would be
an important tool in planning and mitigation strategy.
Scenario Summaries
Overbank Flooding Event of Will County Stream and River Reaches
The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) indicate that a large area of Will County’s built
environment is within the Base Flood Elevation. The Base Flood Elevation (BFE) is defined as the area
that has a 1% chance of flooding in any given year. HAZUS-MH Flood Risk Module would be utilized
for modeling riverine flooding of Will County's stream and river network.
F4 Plainfield Tornado
GIS Analysis was utilized to determine the impacts of the 1990 Plainfield Illinois F4 tornado that skipped
through Will County during mid afternoon. Although the track of this tornado was identified, detailed
information on the area damaged could not be determined. Will County GIS data was utilized to
determine structures identified within the damage areas. The potential loss of a F4 tornado traveling a
similar path as the 1990 F4 tornado was projected based on today’s built environment and in today’s
economy.

5.1 Magnitude Earthquake in DuPage County, Illinois
This was the largest historical earthquake in the Chicago area. HAZUS-MH Earthquake Risk Module
provides estimates of damage and loss to buildings, essential facilities, transportation and utility lifelines,
and population based on scenario or probabilistic earthquakes. In addition, the Earthquake Risk Module
estimates the debris generated, fire, casualties, and shelter requirements following the disaster. Based on
consultation with the Illinois State Geologic Survey, the May 26, 1909 earthquake that occurred near
Aurora, Illinois is the best scenario to model with the limitations on available data. Although this
earthquake was a 5.1-magnitude, limitations of the HAZUS-MH model does not provide accurate
information for those earthquakes less than a magnitude 5.5. Therefore, this earthquake analysis assumes
that this historical earthquake had a magnitude of 5.5. Due to information constraints on soil types, the
analysis of a larger earthquake generated from the New Madrid Fault could not be conducted.
Hazardous Materials Release: Fixed Facility
The U.S. EPA’s ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) model was utilized to assess the
area of impact for a chlorine release at a large industrial facility located southwest of Joliet near Arsenal
Road and Interstate 55. Chlorine is a common chemical that is used in industrial operations and can be
found in either liquid or gas form. For this scenario, moderate atmospheric and climatic conditions with a
slight breeze from the west were assumed. The target area of Arsenal Road and I-55, “Joliet Arsenal
Hub”, was chosen due to its large industrial facilities, rail and truck hubs, and the presence of a large
number of large quantity hazardous material generators.
Hazardous Materials Release: Transportation Incident
The U.S. EPA’s ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) model was utilized to assess a
chlorine release from a barge at a large transportation hub southwest of Joliet at US Route 6, Interstate 55,
and the Des Plaines River. Rail, truck tankers, and barges commonly haul chlorine, as well as other
hazardous materials, to and from facilities. For this scenario, moderate atmospheric and climatic
conditions with a slight breeze from the west were assumed. The target area of the US Route 6, I-55, and
Des Plaines River was chosen due to its heavy barge traffic, large rail and truck hubs, as well as the
presence of a large number of large quantity hazardous material generators.

Terrorist Bombing
GIS Analysis was utilized to determine the impacts of a bombing near a critical infrastructure of Will
County with a similar magnitude of the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City Bombing. In the Oklahoma City
Bombing, a Ryder rental truck was loaded with approximately 5,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate
fertilizer and detonated outside of the Murrah Federal Building. The explosion generated a pressure blast
of 500,000 psi, destroyed one-third of the Murrah Federal Building, and created a crater thirty feet wide
and eight feet deep. The Will County target analyzed in this hazard modeling is the Will County Court
House.
Limitations
The analysis of hazards is complicated by a number of factors including laws, customs, ethics, values,
attitudes, political preferences, and complex infrastructures and built environment. A hazard analysis
provides a wealth of valuable information that is essential for identifying goals, prioritizing actions,
planning and preparedness, and recovering and mitigating future hazards.
The assessment of data and identifying the risk to a community is not a hard science. It is difficult to
predict hazard impacts, and conclusions are not absolute. The perception of what constitutes a risk and a
judgment of its impact can differ from individual to individual. The changing natural, built, or societal
environments can have a significant affect on each hazard assessment. A hazard risk assessment does
provide a guide to evaluate Will County’s risks and guides the Will County EMA to perform their
mission of protecting the county. For this reason, it is important to periodically update and improve the
County’s Risk Assessment with best available data.
Regional All Hazard Risk Assessment Project
FEMA provides funds to the Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin (IL-IN-WI) Combined Statistical Area (CSA)
under the Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP). The purpose of the RCPGP is to
support preparedness efforts of local jurisdictions, spanning multiple states, in planning for catastrophic
events or disasters. An initiative under the RCPGP was the Regional All Hazard Risk Assessment
Project. Will County Emergency Management Agency was a member of this subcommittee whose
mission was to plan for and mitigate catastrophic and routine incidents.

The project completed in July, 2013, provided Will County with two analysis tracks. The first was an
assessment of the capabilities of the County to implement the 31 Core Capabilities described in the
National Preparedness Goal. The other was software called System-wide Multi-hazard Risk Tool
(SMRT) utilized to conduct risk analysis. SMRT was used for the regional assessment of chosen hazards:
tornados, extreme heat, pandemic, blackout, and terrorism.
Additional grant funding may be made in the near future to the RCPGP. This could provide opportunities
for the IL-IN-WI CSA to further study hazard impact regionally and locally. Study results could provide
Will County data that normally would be unavailable to the county. Additionally, RCPGP projects could
further the development of regional planning and mitigation strategies. Will County looks forward to
participating in future RCPGP planning programs.

CHAPTER 4: HAZARD PROFILES AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
The following profiles include not only natural hazards but also technological and societal hazards that
have the potential to affect Will County. The location of Will County is a factor in many of the hazards
that face the county. Being located in the Midwest, the county is subject to extreme changes in climate.
During the spring through fall seasons, the county experiences many thunderstorms. These storms can be
quite severe and bring with them the damaging effects of wind, lightning, hail, and flood. Will County is
also located in the section of the United States that experiences the most tornado activity. The worst
tornado to hit the county occurred in 1990. The summer months can also bring high temperatures which
may lead to periods of drought and its damaging effect on crops and water supply. As the seasons change
to winter, the temperature can change to extreme cold and along with this cold often comes snow, ice,
more wind, and more flooding. These winter
storms can knock down the power supply and
bring travel routes to a close.
The location of Will County is also the
reason for many of the technological and
societal hazards that the county may
experience. Being proximate to Chicago,
Will County is the hub for major
transportation systems that lead into the
Chicago area. Intermodal systems use
interstate highways, railways, bus routes,
waterways, pipelines, and airports to transport raw materials, finished products, and people in and out of
the county. These transportation systems encourage the development of business enterprises which bring
in materials to produce products utilized throughout the country and the world.
Along with these transportation systems and entities of commerce come risks. Some of the chemicals
used in manufacturing and agriculture have hazardous effects on people and the environment. As these
chemicals are transported or processed, there is the potential for spills, fire, explosion, and harmful
contamination. Nuclear power plants utilize fuel that can have damaging effects for generations should it
be released during transportation or a plant accident. Though technological advances have helped to
242
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 2
make Will County prosperous, the potential for harm must be addressed through programs of
preparedness.
Again, the location of Will County plays a part in societal
hazards. The ease of transportation, the growing job
market, and the mix of urban and rural lifestyles attract
people to work and live in Will County. The spread of the
Chicago metropolitan area also has an effect on the
county’s society as it spills into Will County. As more
people come to live and work in Will County, urban areas
develop bringing in more business, manufacturing, retail shopping, and entertainment venues. Growth in
urban areas brings with it an increase in potential for public health issues and civil disturbance. Growth
in business and housing, along with the proximity to Chicago, increase the potential for terrorist and
enemy attack. Nuclear power plants, refineries, large entertainment venues, an army training center, and
the nearness of Chicago, all make Will County attractive as a target for terrorists and our enemies. An
attack in Will County would bring the attention that terrorists seek and produce damage that could impact
other areas of our country.
Each of the following hazard profiles provides a summary of their characteristics, the risk that they pose,
and the vulnerabilities of the county that require the attention and planning of first responders and
supporting agencies to protect the welfare of the public of Will County.
Climate Change
The State Climatologist Office for Illinois provide the following definitions for climate and climate
change (Available from: https://www.isws.illinois.edu/statecli/climate-change/glossary.htm):
Climate - The slowly varying aspects of the atmosphere–hydrosphere–land surface system. It is
typically characterized in terms of suitable averages of the climate system over periods of
a month or more, taking into consideration the variability in time of these averaged
quantities. Climatic classifications include the spatial variation of these time-averaged
variables. Beginning with the view of local climate as little more than the annual course
of long-term averages of surface temperature and precipitation, the concept of climate has
broadened and evolved in recent decades in response to the increased understanding of the
underlying processes that determine climate and its variability.
243

Climate - Any systematic change in the long-term statistics of climate elements (such as
Change temperature, pressure, or winds) sustained over several decades or longer. Climate change
may be due to natural external forces, such as changes in solar emission or slow changes
in the earth's orbital elements; natural internal processes of the climate system; or
anthropogenic forcing.

Future
What the economic future holds for Will County can only be estimated. The Chicago metropolitan area
continues to grow outward into the surrounding counties. According the Workforce Investment Board of
Will County, the population is expected to increase by 1.4% by 2024, adding 9,567 people. Jobs in Will
County increased by 13% from 2014 to 2019 outpacing the national growth rate of 7.3%. Jobs are
expected to continue to rise reaching almost 293,000 jobs by 2024. Will County has become the largest
inland port in North America handling over 3 million twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) containers
annually. So its economic future and job growth may trend towards its top growing industry and
occupations of transportation and warehousing.
The building of the South Suburban Airport will allow an increase in the transport of goods and have an
impact on the county’s growth. If it is built, there will be a large demand for services, infrastructure,
workers, housing, schools, etc. to support its function. This additional source for transportation of goods
and people will increase the rate of business development. This means there will be more people and
property to protect from hazards, more technology and businesses that may present a hazard, and more
people and businesses that could attract or be affected by societal hazards.

Assessing the risks, planning, mitigating
hazards, and preparing for emergencies will
remain essential activities to ensure the safety of
Will County’s residents. Routine updating of
demographic data and careful tracking of
hazards will be important and will require a
coordinated effort of all agencies and
municipalities responsible for a proactive
approach through mitigation planning within
Will County. The information concerning
changes in hazards and risks and their impact on
the county’s population and assets will be
critical in maintaining and updating mitigation
plans.
County Assets
Will County’s assets lie in its people,
institutions, businesses, infrastructure, land, and
natural resources. The reason for conducting
preparedness plans, such as this mitigation plan, is to evaluate the impact of hazards on these assets and to
determine effective methods to protect people and property. The following charts and graphs summarize
these assets.

TORNADOES
Hazard Characterization
A tornado is defined as a local atmospheric storm of short duration composed of winds rotating at very
high speeds, usually moving in a counter-clockwise direction. It is visible as a vortex, a whirlpool-like
column of winds rotating around a hollow cavity in which centrifugal forces produce a partial vacuum.
Conditions leading to tornadoes often result in other dangerous storm activities such as severe
thunderstorms, high winds, lightning, hail, and heavy rain. Tornado formation requires the presence of air
layers that differ in temperature, moisture, density, and wind flow. The rotary winds twist and rip at
structures and the tornado’s central vacuum creates explosive pressure changes. Tornadoes, one of
nature’s most violent storms, tend to be short-lived but intensely menacing. They have the potential to
destroy everything in their path and pose a significant threat to life.
Most tornadoes have a
three-stage life cycle
where they develop,
mature, and dissipate.
The average path of a
tornado is approximately
one-eighth mile wide and
three miles long with a
wind speed of forty or
more miles per hour;
however, tornadoes have
been recorded that have
traveled a path over one
mile wide and almost
three-hundred miles long.
Frequency of tornadoes varies by season, but in Illinois, most occur from April through July during the
late afternoon usually when there is warm, humid, and unsettled weather. Of the 1,200 tornadoes that
occur in the United States each year, roughly 3% result in casualties. Improved warning systems have
drastically reduced tornado related deaths since the 1950’s.

Tornado intensities have been measured by
the Fujita Damage Scale which rates
tornadoes based on damage caused and not
size of storm. The Fujita scale has been in
use for 42 years. It has been a useful tool
for categorizing tornadoes; however, the
scale’s primary limitations are a lack of
damage indicators, no account of
construction quality and variability, and no
definitive correlation between damage and
wind-speed. Researchers, building on the
original Fujita Scale, developed the
Enhanced Fujita Scale to overcome these
limitations. This new scale is still a set of
wind estimates (not measurements) based
on damage. It uses three-second gust
estimates at the point of damage based on a
judgment of 8 levels of damage to 28
indicators. The use of the Enhanced Fujita
Scale began in 2007.
Weak tornadoes (F0-F1):
Represent 80% of all tornadoes with less than 5% of tornado deaths.
Their time span ranges from one to over ten minutes long.
They can have a path length of up to three miles and a wind speed of 60 to 115 miles per
hour.
Strong tornadoes (F2-F3):
Comprise 19% of all tornadoes with less than 30% of tornado deaths.
Their time span is 20 minutes or longer, their path length is in excess of 15 miles.
Their wind speeds range from 110 to 205 miles per hour.
Most unusual are the violent tornadoes (F4-F5):
They represent 1% of all tornadoes but constitute 70% of all tornado deaths.
Violent tornadoes last an hour or longer, have a path length in excess of 50 miles.
They have recorded wind speeds of over 200 miles per hour.

History
Statewide, Illinois is ranked high in terms of the number of tornadoes and tornado impacts (damages,
deaths, and injuries). In fact, Illinois has experienced some of the worst tornadoes in U.S. history. The
infamous Tri-State tornado occurred on March 18, 1925, passing through southern Missouri, Illinois, and
Indiana, leaving 695 dead and 2000 injured. The Mattoon tornado of May 26, 1917, left 101 dead and
638 injured.
Will County has experienced 72 tornadoes since 1950 or roughly an average of one tornado per year.
Most have been weak tornadoes over this time period, ten have been strong storms, and one was a violent
F5. The strong storms that have occurred over the years have also impacted the lives and property of the
county’s citizens.
Though there are no absolutes and you can see from the table of Impact of Tornadoes on Will County that
tornadoes can occur at any time of year, but are more likely to happen between 3pm and 7pm during
April, May, and June. Each occurrence has the potential of being an EF5 tornado with a detrimental
impact on the lives and economic factors of the community. Thus, it is important to have an
understanding of how tornadoes occur, how to educate and notify the public of their impending
occurrence, and how to prepare and recover from the storm.
The most important mitigating factor is advanced warning which does not prevent property damage but
does save lives. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a national system used by state and local
governments to disperse emergency information by connecting the agencies with media and broadcasting
stations. Along with the EAS, the primary means of radio communication between Will County and the
State of Illinois is via the StarCom21 radio system. Will County Emergency Management Agency
(WCEMA) also monitors the State EOC’s state backup station (45.44 MHZ). The National Weather
Service’s (NWS) NOAA weather radio (162.425 MHZ) out of Chicago is one of NWS’s seven stations
used to broadcast in the county. The NWS monitors atmospheric conditions and issues a Tornado Watch
when formation of a tornado is possible. When a tornado is sighted, the NWS issues a Tornado Warning
identifying the tornado’s location, direction it is moving, and speed.
Additionally, Will County has outdoor warning sirens and an enhanced emergency alert system used to
notify registered public that an emergency exists through email, pagers, cell phone text message, or voice

message on home phones. These various information sources are used to create a web of redundancy.
This system of cross monitoring protects the public should one notification mode fail to forward the
information. Tornado preparedness information is listed on the WCEMA website. Because tornadoes
are so prevalent within the county, everyone must be prepared for the potential hazard so that they are
able to respond promptly and efficiently.

The potential for severe weather was detected several days in advance. As early as Thursday morning,
November 14, most of central and southeast Illinois was included in the severe weather outlook for
Sunday. At that range, areas are highlighted if there is at least a 30% chance of receiving severe weather.
The outlook from late Saturday morning, indicated a 45% chance of severe weather over much of the
Midwest and a 10% chance of seeing significant severe weather (defined as either tornadoes of at least
EF-2 strength, winds of 75 mph, hail of at least 2" in diameter, or any combination thereof) within 25
miles of any given point.

Around midnight Sunday morning, the outlook from the Storm Prediction Center highlighted eastern
Illinois as being in a "high risk" of severe weather and by the 7 am update, expanded it further west to
near I-55. At 8:40 am, Tornado Watch #561 was issued for most of Illinois. SPC declared this as a
"Particularly Dangerous Situation" (PDS) watch, meaning there was a threat for several intense, long-
track tornadoes, potential for many reports of large hail over 2 inches in diameter, and damaging wind
gusts potentially in excess of 80 mph. The NWS offices in Lincoln, Chicago, Milwaukee, Davenport, and
St. Louis participated in a conference call with SPC around 8:30 am to discuss the issuance of this watch.

The Plainfield F5 storm occurred August 28, 1990, causing damage predominantly in the Plainfield area.
Before the tornado developed, the severe thunderstorm produced wind gusts in the 80-100 mph range.
The F5 tornado was on the ground for over 16 miles, touching down first near Oswego and lifting 20
minutes later in Joliet. It killed twenty-nine people, injured 350 people, and caused damages of $250
million. Developing beyond the usual tornado season, this fast forming and deadly storm caught
everyone off guard. The storm was a testament that tornadoes can occur any time of year. It also
provided valuable information to the county and local agencies allowing improvement in preparedness,
response, and recovery plans.
The Plainfield Tornado challenged both meteorologists and citizens in terms of tornado preparedness.
Substantial safety measures were enacted in the years following the tornado; among these are frequent
and regular tornado drills performed in schools. The development of Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD)
contributes greatly to the ability of meteorologists to recognize tornadic activity. NEXRAD contains the
ability to detect the wind speed and direction inside the storm. The ability to see rotation inside a storm
on both the microscale (tornadic) and mesoscale (supercellular) measurements has allowed forecasters to
issue severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings in more timely fashion and with a higher probability of
detection.

Mitigation Measures
With the number and intensity of tornadoes that have occurred in Will County, it is important to look at
measures that can be taken to mitigate the impact of tornadoes on communities.
Safe rooms were one action item that participants discussed. The expense to retrofit existing
structures can be prohibitive, but the county and communities can encourage the construction and
use of safe rooms in new construction.
Through building codes, wind resistant construction and materials can be encouraged to make
structures more resistant to wind storms. Communities adopting international building code
standards are listed in Chapter 5, page 5-13.
Forecasting of severe weather by the National Weather Service (NWS) continues to improve
providing timely alerts advising the public to take cover. The county has been working together
with the NWS, the U.S. Geological Survey, GIS, web-developers, and others to electronically
link monitoring systems and use the latest communication tools to improve forecasting and alert
systems in order to provide the public with real-time storm information.
The county and communities have been distributing education materials on the dangers of severe
weather and how to prepare through websites, social media, newsletters, news media, and
community events. Some sources of preparedness materials include FEMA, American Red
Cross, Illinois EMA, CDC, and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).
o WC EMA’s Public Preparedness Group attends community events throughout the county
providing emergency preparedness education.
o AmeriCorps volunteers have served throughout the county working with schools, seniors,
etc. Some sources of preparedness materials include FEMA, American Red Cross,
Illinois EMA, CDC, and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).
o WC Health Department utilizes volunteers through the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) to
assist with public health events.
o The National Weather Service (NWS) has prepared local communities and colleges
within Will County to be StormReady by helping them to develop plans to handle all
types of extreme weather.
o The NWS also prepares communities by holding Storm Spotter classes for communities
and Advanced Severe Weather exercises for local responders.
270
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 30
o The NWS conducts training and table tops exercises with communities instructing them
how to use their online weather tools to prepare for and monitor weather activity during
special events.
o The NWS sponsors the sale of weather radios at local stores; these events are supported
by WC EMA, American Red Cross (ARC), and other response organizations who
provide educational material to the public.
o Outdoor sirens are tested the first Tuesday of each month at 10:00 am followed by a
StarCom radio check of responders in Will County and surrounding counties.
Risk Characterization
A tornado can occur at any time of the year requiring the county to be prepared at all times. Since 1950,
the National Weather Service (NWS) Chicago County Warning Area (CWA) has experienced 615
tornadoes of which 152 were significant (EF-2+). At
least 24 tornadoes were reported during the storms of
November 17, 2013. Out of all of the counties within
Illinois, Will County has been ranked as one of the
top counties in the state affected by tornadoes.
Due to the destructive nature of tornadoes and wind,
these events impact human life, health, and public
safety. Community-wide impacts include: utility
damage and outages, infrastructure damage (transportation and communication systems), structural
damage, and damaged or destroyed critical facilities. Tornadoes can also cause severe transportation
problems and make travel extremely dangerous.
Impact: High
Damage to Buildings
Although tornadoes strike at random, making all buildings vulnerable, three types of structures are
more likely to suffer damage:
Mobile homes

As Will County has become the largest inland port in North America, warehousing and intermodal
centers with massive buildings and large numbers of transport vehicles are potentially at risk by
tornadoes.
Structures within the direct path of a tornado vortex are often reduced to rubble. However, structures
adjacent to the tornado’s path are often severely damaged by high winds flowing into the tornado
vortex, known as inflow winds. It is here, adjacent to the tornado’s path, where the building type and
construction techniques are critical to the structure’s survival. Tornado impact to buildings is high.
Critical Facilities
Because a tornado can hit anywhere in the county, all critical facilities are susceptible to being hit.
Schools are a particular concern for two reasons:
They have large numbers of people present, either during school or as a storm shelter.
They have large span areas, such as gyms and theaters.
The 1990 Plainfield tornado was an unfortunate example of this. It struck the Plainfield High School,
Grand Prairie Elementary School, St. Mary Immaculate Church, and the gymnasium to the Church’s
elementary school. Cost to repair the two public schools was estimated at up to $35 million. The cost
for the church and its school was $5 million. Other large span buildings were also affected in 1990.
In addition to the schools and their gyms, hangers at the Aurora Airport and Joliet’s Essington Road
Fire Station were damaged.
Health and Safety
The numerous deaths and injuries incurred by tornadoes since the 1950’s give testament to the threat
Will County’s population faces from tornadoes. Flying debris, collapsing structures, or being swept
away by wind are just a few of the elements that may cause death or injury. Following a tornado,
damaged buildings are a potential health hazard due to instability, electrical system damage, and gas
leaks. Sewage and water lines may also be damaged. However, these problems would be localized.
Impact upon people is high.

Economic Impact
The major impact of a tornado on the
local economy is damage to
businesses and infrastructure. A
heavily damaged business, especially
one that was barely making a profit,
often has to be closed. The post-
disaster damage report stated that at
least 50 businesses were destroyed by
the 1990 tornado.
Infrastructure damage is usually
limited to above ground utilities, such
as power lines. ComEd and Exelon
have emergency programs to prepare
their systems and the public before,
during, and after storms. They
provide the ability for the public to
report and locate outages online or by
mobile app and social media. The
1990 tornado knocked out two
345,000 volt transmission towers, leaving 65,000 Com Ed customers without power. Damage to
phone lines left 14,000 customers without service. Damage to utility lines can usually be repaired or
replaced relatively quickly.
Damage to roads and railroads is usually localized. If it can’t be repaired promptly, alternate
transportation routes are usually available. Transportation was disrupted when highways were closed
during the August, 1990, storm due to high winds and debris.
Public expenditures include search and rescue, shelters, transportation systems, and emergency
protection measures. The large expenses are for repairs to public facilities and clean-up and disposal
273

of debris. Most public facilities are insured, so the economic impact on the local treasury may be
small.
Clean-up and disposal can be a larger problem, especially with limited landfill capacity near the
damage site. Preliminary damage assessments for public expenditures after the 1990 tornado totaled
$4 million, 2/3 of that for debris clearance. Will County has developed a FEMA approved Debris
Management Plan to manage disaster clean-up and disposal.
Future Occurrences
With 72 occurrences of tornadoes in Will County over the last 70 years, the likelihood of another
tornado occurrence is approximately once in any given year. Tornadoes, like other climatological
hazards, are not bound to a particular path or location; therefore, all jurisdictions within Will County
have the same probability of being struck.
The 2018 Illinois Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan rates the tornado hazard for Will County as high and
provides the following data.

THUNDERSTORM
Hazard Characterization
Severe thunderstorms are weather systems accompanied by strong winds, lightning, heavy rain, and
possibly hail and tornadoes.
They occur anytime of year, but more frequently during the warm spring and summer months.
Thunderstorms typically only last thirty to forty minutes.
They form when a shallow layer of warm, moist air meets up with a deeper layer of cool, dry air.
All thunderstorms follow a three-stage life cycle.
The cumulus stage is the development period where the storm consists only of updrafts or
upward moving air currents. The updrafts reach heights of 20,000 feet above ground.
The mature stage is the strongest and most dangerous stage of the storm cycle. Upward and
downward moving air currents collide with precipitation resulting in the downdraft area. As
the downdraft reaches the ground, it spreads out and forms a gust front where damaging
winds may develop.
In the dissipating stage, excessive precipitation and downdrafts weaken the storm, gust fronts
move away depleting the energy of the storm.
275

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 35
Thunder storms can fall into four categories. Singe-cell storms are typically weak, short-lived, and poorly
organized. Multicell cluster storms are the most common type and are a cluster of cells moving as one
unit. Multicell line storms are squall lines that have a long line of storms with a continuous gust front
from the forward edge of the storm. Supercell storms have a single updraft, are very strong, and produce
severe weather. Along with wind that can damage property, lightning also poses a serious hazard causing
fire to property that is struck and serious injury or death to individuals who are struck.
Severe thunderstorms are most likely to happen in the spring and summer months and during the
afternoon and evening hours but can occur year-round and at all hours. Thunderstorms can bring four
hazards:
Flooding,
Lightning,
High winds, tornadoes and microbursts, and
Hail.
In Illinois, thunderstorms
occur when there is a collision
of moist, warm air moving
north from the Gulf of Mexico
with colder fronts moving east
from the Rocky Mountains
resulting in cold air overriding
a layer of warm air causing
the warm air to rise rapidly.
Thunderstorms may occur
singly, in clusters, or in lines.
In the course of a few hours, it
is possible for several
thunderstorms to affect one
location or a single thunderstorm to affect one location for an extended time. Thunderstorms typically are
15 miles in diameter and produce heavy rain anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

Of the estimated 100,000
thunderstorms each year,
approximately 10 percent are
classified severe. Severe
storms either produce hail of at
least three-quarters of an inch
thick, have winds of 58 miles
per hour or higher, or produce
a tornado. In Illinois, severe
thunderstorms are most likely
to happen in the spring and
summer and frequently occur
in the late afternoon or
evening. Thunderstorms can
bring heavy rain, strong winds, hail, lightning and tornadoes. Thunderstorms can cause several types of
damaging wind. A downward rush of cool descending air from a thunderstorm is a microburst.

Average annual cloud-to-ground lightning
flashes per square mile, 1989-1996
Lightning occurs during all thunderstorms and is an
electrical discharge that results from the buildup of positive
and negative charges. Lightning appears as a “bolt” when
the buildup becomes strong with the flash of light occurring
between the clouds and the ground. In a split second, the
bolt of lightning reaches a temperature approaching 50,000
degrees Fahrenheit.
Lightning has killed 29 people and injured hundreds more in Illinois since 1990. In 2001, Illinois ranked
second in the United States for lightning fatalities. Thunder is the rapid heating and cooling of air near
the lightning.
In addition to lightning, a thunderstorm can also produce hail which can be very destructive to
plants/crops, animals and property causing nationally over a billion dollars in damage each year. Hail can
be as small as a pea and as large as a softball. Most hail has a diameter smaller than a dime; however,
there are records of hailstones weighing more than a pound. Hail rarely causes injuries, but it can cause
millions of dollars in damages to crops, vehicles, and buildings.
These balls of ice begin as a large frozen raindrop. Super cooled water droplets hit ice crystals and freeze
instantly. The hailstones grow as more and more droplets hit these ice balls and freeze as they fall
through the clouds. As the hailstones reach the bottom of the clouds the wind updrafts may send the hail
back up into the cloud to repeat the process and continue to grow. When the weight of the hailstones
280

becomes too heavy to be supported by the updrafts, they fall out of the clouds. The very largest recorded
hailstone was over 5.6 inches in diameter and weighed 26 ounces; however, large hail is usually less than
two inches in diameter and most is smaller than a dime.

History
Will County has experienced over 200 severe storm events since 1950. Federal Emergency Declarations
of severe storms in Will County have occurred five times:
June 30, 1981, over $4 million in damages throughout Illinois
March 29, 1985, almost $8 million in damages throughout Illinois
July 25, 1996, almost $259 million in damages throughout Illinois, I-55 flooded
April 23, 2004, almost $6 million in damages throughout Illinois
August 23, 2007, over $230 thousand in damages throughout Will County
September 13, 2008, over $4.3 million individual assistance provided to households by FEMA
April, 2013, over $1.4 million individual assistance provided to households and $1.4 million in
public assistance by FEMA
Although they do not receive as much recognition as tornado events, thunderstorm winds cause more
damage year-to-year than tornadoes. In 1993 alone, Illinois experienced 38 events of thunderstorm winds
which caused a minimum estimate of well over five million dollars in damage, while the 34 tornadoes
caused a maximum of just over 1.5 million dollars. Seven severe thunderstorms traversed the state in
June of 1993, creating most of this damage, but significant losses occurred in seven other months. In the
10-year period from 1981 to 1990, damage estimates from severe wind equaled or exceeded damages
caused by tornadoes in five of the years. In addition, death tolls from severe winds exceeded tornado
deaths for six of these years, and the number of injuries caused by severe wind was greater in three years
(data from Storm Data publication, NOAA/NWS). The damages caused by high winds have been
relatively consistent from year-to-year.
Nationwide it is estimated that 25 million cloud-to-ground lightning flashes occur each year, 1,000 people
are injured, and 80 are killed with about $5 billion in economic impact resulting from lightning.
According to Mr. Chris Miller, WCM, National Weather Service, Lincoln, IL, “Illinois experiences nearly
650,000 lightning strikes each year.” Illinois ranks high among the 50 states for lightning fatalities. Over
the past 50 years, 99 people have been killed by lightning in Illinois. As a result, IEMA and the NWS
have recently established the Lightning Safety Awareness Week as a public education project.
Hail occurs frequently in Illinois averaging 74 times a year or 3,951 times since 1950. There have been
no deaths, but 23 injuries. Hail does extensive damage: property damage over $73 million and crop

damage over $5 million in the last 53 years. The potential size of hail stones illustrate the damage they
can cause. April 23, 1961, several six inch hail stones were reported in Kankakee, IL. While six inches is
very unusual, 46 events had hail stones greater than three inches and in the 2-3 inch range.

Risk Characterization
Impact: Medium/High
Damage to Buildings
As with tornadoes, mobile homes are at a high risk to damage from thunderstorms. Wind and water
damage can result when windows are broken by flying debris or hail. Lightning can cause direct
damage to structures (especially those without lightning protection systems) and can cause fires that
damage forests and structures. Straight line winds will damage roofs, overturn or push mobile homes
off foundations, push autos off the road, and may destroy attached garages. Straight line winds are
the leading cause of wind related damage. Although they do not receive as much recognition as
tornado events, high winds cause more damage year-to-year than tornadoes.
Hail can inflict severe damage to roofs, windows and siding, depending on hailstone size and winds.
The size of hailstones is a direct function of the severity and size of the storm. Significant damage
does not result until the stones reach 1.5 inches in diameter, which occurs in less than half of all
hailstorms.
Critical Facilities
Critical facilities are susceptible to the same damage and disruption from thunderstorms as other
buildings. Emergency operations can be disrupted as thunderstorms and lightning affect radio
communications and antennas are a prime target for lightning. To date, there is no record of critical
facilities having incurred any damages due to severe storms. Damage to critical facilities is
considered moderate.
Health and Safety
No special health problems are attributable to thunderstorms, other than the potential for tetanus and
other diseases that arise from injuries and damaged property. Serious burns or death are the common
outcomes when lightning strikes a human being. Overall health hazard: Low
The threat to life varies by the cause of death. Between 1995 and 2000, the NWS reported 20 people
in Illinois were killed by flash floods, wind, and lightning resulting from thunderstorms. Hail rarely
causes loss of life.
286
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 46
Lighting kills more people than tornadoes. Most lightning fatalities and injuries occur outdoors at
recreation events and under or near trees. Most of these deaths can be prevented through safe
practices. Much information has come out over the last 20 years about lightning safety, for example,
before 1990, an average of 89 people were killed by lightning each year. By 2000, this number had
dropped to 52.
Hail occurs frequently in Illinois averaging 74 times a year or 3,951 times since 1950. There have
been no deaths, but 23 injuries.
Economic Impact
Thunderstorms can impact transportation and utilities. Airplanes have crashed when hit by
downbursts or lightning. Automobiles and their windshields are subject to damage by hail. Power
lines can be knocked out by lightning or knocked down by wind and debris. Lightning can also cause
power surges that damage appliances, electronic equipment and computers. However, many
buildings have lightning rods and backup
power systems that can recover quickly. Cost
of clean-up by towns can be extensive.
Future Occurrences
All counties are susceptible to severe storms. At
any one time, it has been determined that over
25% of the county population might experience
severe storms. This determination is supported by
Mr. Chris Miller, WCM, National Weather
Service, Lincoln, IL, as follows: “Damage from
severe thunderstorms is usually on a much broader
spatial scale in the State of Illinois. The past 49
years of data indicated that more than 11,000
reports of severe thunderstorm damage occurred
(approximately 7,000 wind and 4,000 hail reports)
in the State of Illinois. Approximately 80% of the
287
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 47
severe thunderstorms are multicellular or a supercell hybrid, which are capable of producing damaging
wind and/or large hail over approximately a 400 to 500 square mile area. The remaining severe
thunderstorms are squall lines, which can produce damage over 100% of the affected counties. Thus, the
vulnerability to severe thunderstorms should be high (greater than 25% of the population affected) in each
county across Illinois.” This is reinforced by a study done by Stanley Chagnon of Chagnon
Climatologist, in his publication Thunderstorms Across the Nation - An Atlas of Storms, Hail, and Their
Damages in the 20th Century. This study indicated that in an analysis of thunderstorm caused
catastrophes, Illinois ranked 4th in the United States in total thunderstorm catastrophes between 1949 and
1998.
The 2018 Illinois Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan rates the severe storms hazard for Will County as
severe.

WINTER / ICE STORMS
Hazard Characterization
The National Weather Service refers to Winter Storms as the Deceptive Killers because most deaths are
indirectly related to the storm. Instead, people die in traffic accidents on icy roads and of hypothermia
from prolonged exposure to cold. A winter storm is considered to be severe when:
Six or more inches of snow have fallen within a forty-eight hour period;
A snow storm has produced conditions, such as high winds, leading to property damage, death, or
injuries regardless of the amount of snowfall;
There is a glaze storm in which ten percent of the cooperative U.S. Weather Bureau substations
in Illinois have reported glaze; or
There is a glaze storm in which property damage, deaths, or injuries have occurred.
Snow and ice are threats to most of the U.S. during the northern hemisphere’s winter, which begins
December 21st and ends March 21st. During the early and late months of the winter season, snow
becomes warmer, giving it a greater tendency to melt on contact or stick to the surface. The beginning
and end of the winter season also brings a greater chance of freezing rain and sleet.
There are many ways for winter storms to form, but certain key ingredients are needed. First
temperatures must be below freezing in the clouds and near the ground. There must be a source of
moisture in the form of evaporating water. Severe winter storms are fueled by strong temperature
gradients and an active upper-level cold jet stream. When you hear the term “severe winter storm
warning”, freezing temperatures, heavy snowfall, or freezing rain come to mind. There are three
categories of winter storms:
Blizzard: This is the most dangerous of all winter storms. A blizzard combines low
temperatures, heavy snowfall, and winds of at least 35 miles per hour,
reducing visibility to one-quarter mile or less for at least three hours.
Heavy Snow Storm: Will produce six inches or more of snow in 48-hours or less.
Ice Storm: Occurs when moisture falls and freezes immediately upon impact
accumulating at least .25” of ice on exposed surfaces. Ice storms occur when
cold air at the surface is overridden by warm, moist air at higher altitudes.
289
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 49
Winter and ice storms can cause widespread damage and disruption. Heavy snow or ice can paralyze
transportation systems, cause automobile accidents, strand vehicles, damage building roofs, interrupt
communication and electrical power service, adversely affect business continuity, or cause people to have
heart attacks while shoveling heavy snow. Snow, along with high winds and extreme cold, can
incapacitate the entire affected area. Temperature and wind produce a “wind chill factor” which applies
only to people and other living things. Wind chill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin. As
wind increases, heat is carried away from the body at an accelerated rate that drives down the body
temperature. Wind chill measures how cold the wind
makes exposed skin feel and helps to predict the
likelihood for frostbite or hypothermia.
Ice or glazing can also incapacitate an area and damage
vegetation, buildings, and communication systems by
downing utility lines and poles. Secondary effects of
winter/ice storms are flooding, electrocution from
downed power lines, or freezing to death when isolated or trapped by blizzard conditions. These storms
also result in extensive damage because they can persist over longer periods of time than all other forms
of severe weather. Winter/ice storms cause devastating damage and pose a dangerous threat to life by
shutting down normal day-to-day operations.
The amount and extent of snow or ice, air temperature,
wind speed, and event duration are characteristics of a
severe winter storm. All of these combine to determine
the severity of the storm.
Snow Storm: If melted, an inch of snow falling at
32 degrees contains twice the amount
of water as an inch of snow falling at
10 degrees. This relationship determines whether snow will blow and drift with high
winds that make conditions hazardous for hours or perhaps days. If the temperature
is near freezing when snow falls, it rarely drifts. As the temperature falls farther from
the freezing mark, then snow is lighter and more prone to blow and drift.

Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 50
Ice Storm: Factors in how much damage will occur are the amounts of rain causing icing to take
place, the strength of the wind, and whether or not the storm strikes an urban or rural
area.

TERMS USED BY WEATHER FORECASTERS
Freezing Rain Rain that freezes when it hits the ground, creating a coating of ice on
roads, walkways, trees and power lines.
Sleet Rain that turns to ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet also
causes roads to freeze and become slippery.
Winter Storm Watch A winter storm is possible in your area.
Winter Storm Warning A winter storm is occurring, or will soon occur in your area.
Blizzard Warning
Sustained winds or frequent gusts to 35 miles-per-hour or greater and
considerable falling or blowing snow (reducing visibility to less than
a quarter mile) are expected to prevail for a period of three hours or
longer.
Frost/Freeze Warning Below freezing temperatures are expected.

Regional Snowfall Index
NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information now produces the Regional Snowfall Index
(RSI) for significant snowstorms that impact the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. It is based on the spatial
extent of the storm, the amount of snowfall, and the juxtaposition of these elements with population. The
inclusion of population with the RSI ties the index to societal impacts.
The RSI ranks snowstorm impacts on a scale from 1 to 5, similar to scales for tornadoes and hurricanes.

Extreme Cold & Wind Chill
Polar Vortex became a popular weather term in recent years according to Climate.gov. Polar vortex is a
large area of low pressure and cold are surrounding the Earth’s North and South poles. Vortex refers to
the counter-clockwise flow of air that helps keep the colder air close to the poles. Often in winter, the
polar vortex will become less stable and expand, sending cold Artic air southward over the United States
with the jet stream. A polar vortex is capable of delivering subzero temperatures for several days at a
time.
(See: https://www.noaa.gov/multimedia/infographic/science-behind-polar-vortex-you-might-want-to-put-on-sweater)
A recent polar vortex in Will County occurred at the end of January, 2019, causing the State of Illinois to
issue a disaster proclamation. A concern raised during the hazard analysis was the impact of the extreme
cold on response equipment/vehicles, transportation systems, utilities, and water resources. A specific
issue during this event was the inability of response agencies to maintain the function of vehicles and
response equipment.

History
Will County has experienced over forty winter storm events since 1993. Federal Emergency Declarations
of severe winter storms in Will County have occurred three times:
January 16, 1979 with over $58 million in damages throughout Illinois
January 8, 1999 with over $40 million in damages throughout Illinois
January 17, 2001, with just under $23 million in damages throughout Illinois
January 31 – February 3, 2011, approximately $250,000 damages in Will County
One of the worst winter storms to impact the state was on January 26-27, 1967, when as much as 23
inches of snow fell on Moline (Rock Island County) and the Chicago area, paralyzing O’Hare
International Airport. Travel throughout Northern
Illinois was curtailed and areas to the south experienced
a glaze of ice which made travel virtually impossible
until January 29, 1967. Fifty deaths were directly
attributed to this storm.
Illinois has experienced a severe winter storm each
winter for over a century and experiences an average of
five severe storms per year during the November-April
period. These storms may be those with only heavy
snow, or with snow and ice mixed, or with ice (glaze)
only. Although the average number of severe winter
storms is five per winter, as many as 18 have occurred
in one winter (1977-1978) and as few as two (1921-
1922).
Severe winters are characterized by either extremely
cold periods one to two months in duration, or by severe
ice storms or heavy snowfalls occurring repeatedly over
a period of six to twelve weeks. Ice storms tend to fill a 50-80 mile band between heavy snows to the
north and rain to the south. Being in the northern portion of the state, Will County experiences an annual
average of 140 days at or below 32°F and 36 inches of snow.

Winter Storm – January 8, 1999
Federal Emergency Declaration #3134
Public Assistance - $1,010,500
A winter storm struck portions of the Midwest on January 1 to 3, 1999, producing 9 to 22 inches of snow
and northeast winds gusting to over 30 mph in the Chicago area. Soon after the snow ended, record low
temperatures occurred on January 3rd and 4th with values of -20°F or lower. The governor of Illinois
declared the entire state a disaster on January 4th. The worst impact was the storm’s effect on
transportation which was either halted or delayed for two to four days and the source of many accidents.
Automobiles, trains, airplanes, boats, and snowmobiles were impacted. Issues that developed as a result
of this winter storm included:
County and municipalities incurred problems and high costs
with snow removal – this proved to be the major share of public
assistance.
Major vehicle accidents occurred on roadways with deaths (1 in
Will County) and injuries.
Retail businesses closed, transportation of raw materials and
finished goods were delayed, and schools closed.
Stranded traveling motorists were housed in emergency shelters.
Vehicles parked on city streets were buried as snow removal equipment tried to clear streets.
Blood shortages occurred.
Fortunately, the storm was accurately predicted several days in advance allowing communities to prepare,
was spread out over a long duration, and occurred on a long holiday weekend. Those factors helped
mitigate the impact on transportation and commerce.
Severe Winter Storm and Snow – January 31 to February 3, 2011
Federal Disaster Declaration #1960
Public Assistance - $2,976,578
Northern Illinois and northwest Indiana were walloped by a powerful winter storm between January 31
and February 2, 2011. An initial period of light accumulating snow occurred from the evening of January
31st into the morning of February 1st, including lake effect snowfall over northeastern Illinois. From the
afternoon of February 1st through the early morning of February 2nd, the snowstorm was accompanied by
fierce winds, gusting to 50 to 60 mph and higher. The intense winds and heavy snow reduced visibility to
296

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 56
near zero at times and produced widespread
snowdrifts of 2 to 5 feet, and a few drifts of 10
feet or more. Up to 18 inches of snow fell in
Will County. This storm was classified as a
blizzard, with sustained winds or frequent gusts
of 35 mph or greater and severely reduced
visibility for a prolonged period of time.
Lightning was observed all across the region on
February 1st and increased in frequency late that
night.
Will County prepositioned cots throughout the county and anticipated that the assistance provided by the
American Red Cross would be limited due to widespread difficult travel conditions. Most shelterees, in
excess of 250, were rescued from stranded vehicles. Limited power outages occurred with small numbers
of customers affected. The major issue was the clearing of roads being hampered by drifting snow and
numerous abandoned vehicles.
The 2011 storm was also well forecasted. This allowed the county and communities to alert the public
utilizing traditional news media along with website and social media tools. These communication tools
were also used to provide the public with winter storm readiness tips. The advanced notice of the storm,
better communications and planning, and better snow clearing techniques resulted in far less disruption.
As a result, the number of stranded vehicles with this storm was much lower than the 1967 blizzard, but
the photos and footage of the stranded vehicles on Lake Shore Drive have left an indelible imprint on the
minds of many.
A major source for this information comes from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) which
receives data from the National Weather Service (NWS). Following is the information collected for
blizzards, cold/wind chill, extreme cold/wind chill, heavy snow, and ice storm. The following are
additional winter events as defined by the NCDC.

Mitigation Measures
Actions that can be taken to mitigate the impact of winter storms include:
The adoption and enforcement of building codes that ensure structural stability, address snow
roof loads, and provide adequate insulation. Jurisdictions that have adopted the International
Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) are listed in Chapter 5, page 5-13
and 5-14.
Trees and other vegetation cause about 20% of all electric service interruptions. Preventive
pruning around aerial power lines is vital to providing reliable electric service. ComEd, the
electric provider in Will County, has a routine tree maintenance that keeps above ground power
lines clear. This program includes tree trimming, tree removal, and clearing storm-damaged trees
or tree limbs from power lines. Their vegetation management crews are trained in proper
arboricultural pruning techniques that meet the standards set by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI). ComEd is also upgrading overhead power lines with new overhead cables. The
new cables are stronger, have a protective coating and are spaced closer together to help reduce
power outages caused by severe weather, trees, and wildlife. Additionally, overhead power lines
are being replaced in some areas with underground cable so customers experience fewer power
outages.
ComEd also employs smart grids that monitor the electric grid and respond to potential problems
and interruptions and smart switches that automatically reroute electricity around problem areas
so customers experience fewer and shorter power outages.
A leading cause of death during winter storms is from automobile or other transportation
accidents. Strategies to reduce accidents is planning for adequate road and debris clearing
capabilities, using snow fencing to limit blowing and drifting of snow over critical roadway
segments, and utilizing roadway heating technology to prevent snow/ice buildup.
Public education about severe winter weather impacts and how the public can prepare is essential.
Will County EMA and communities have ongoing public education for severe winter weather
preparation through websites, social media, alert systems, traditional news media, and community
events. Education outreach continues to improve as technology expands communication tool
choices.

Will County and the communities work with the American Red Cross to maintain a system of
warming centers to protect vulnerable populations and people who become stranded on the
roadways.
The NWS sponsors the sale of weather radios at local stores; these events are supported by WC
EMA, American Red Cross (ARC), and other response organizations who provide educational
material to the public.
Will County Center for Community Concerns assists low and moderate income families and
individuals to obtain needed resources during short term emergencies. This includes assistance in
paying for winter heating or repair/replacement of home heating systems.
Risk Characterization
Impact: Medium
Damage to Buildings
Historically, roofs would collapse due to heavy snow loads, but most buildings are now constructed
with low temperatures, snow loads, and ice storms in mind. With today’s energy consciousness,
buildings are much better insulated than they were 50 years ago. Winter storms do not have a major
impact on buildings. Impact on buildings is low.
Critical Facilities
The major impacts of snow and ice storms on property are to utilities and roads. Power lines and tree
limbs coated with heavy ice result in disrupted power and telephone service, often for days. Even
small accumulations of ice can be extremely dangerous to motorists and pedestrians. Bridges and
overpasses are particularly dangerous because they freeze before other surfaces. When transportation
is disrupted, schools close, emergency services are delayed, some businesses close, and some
government services are delayed. Impact on critical facilities is low.
Health and Safety
Winter storms bring the following two types of safety hazards:
Weather-related hazards, including hazardous driving and walking conditions, and heart
attacks from strenuous activity such as shoveling snow.
302
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 62
Extreme cold from the low temperatures, wind chill, and loss of heat due to power
outages.
In the United States, the number of deaths peaks in midwinter and reaches a low point in late summer,
but most deaths are not directly related to the weather. Certain populations are especially vulnerable
to the cold, including the elderly, the homeless, and lower income families with heating problems.
About 70% of the injuries caused by snow and ice storms result from vehicle accidents and 25%
occur to people caught out in the storm. Extreme cold can result in people and animals suffering from
frostbite and hypothermia. Frostbite is damage to tissue caused by the effects of ice crystals in frozen
tissue. Extremities (hands, feet, ears, and nose) with more circulation difficulties are most frequently
affected.
Hypothermia is the lowering of the core body temperature. It is “clinically significant” when the
body temperature is below 95°F. Severe hypothermia occurs when the body’s temperature drops
below 85°F, resulting in unconsciousness. If help does not come, death follows. Great care is needed
to properly re-warm a person, even in mild
cases. Health and safety impact is moderate.
Economic Impact
Loss of power means businesses and
manufacturing concerns must close down. Loss
of access due to snow or ice covered roads has a
similar effect. There are also impacts when
people cannot get to work, to school, or to the
store. The cost of snow removal for winter
events can be significant and difficult to budget
for. Economic impact is moderate.
Future Occurrences
Based on weather patterns and past severe
winter storm events, the probability of a winter
storm is high for any given year.

FLOOD, FLASH FLOODS, URBAN FLOODS, and ICE JAMS
Hazard Characterization
Rivers and streams naturally overflow onto the lands adjacent to them. These lands, or floodplains, act as
a natural reservoir and temporary channel for the excess water that dissipates over time. Flooding has
only become a problem since people started to occupy the floodplains. The attractiveness of the level,
fertile land of the floodplain has encouraged development despite the flood-prone nature of the area.
However as these lands have become further developed, it has given rise to an increasing public demand
for protection from the economic losses caused by the inevitable flooding.
Often riverine flooding occurs in early spring as a result of excessive rainfall or the combination of
rainfall and snowmelt. Ice jams are also a cause of flooding in Will County in winter and early spring and
may cause dangerous flash flooding to occur if the ice suddenly gives way. Severe thunderstorms may
cause flash flooding during the summer or fall, although these are normally localized and have more
impact on watercourses with smaller drainage areas. Flash flooding can cause damage to buildings and
infrastructure such as culverts and roadways due to the velocity and debris load typical of this type of
flooding.
Flooding may not always be directly attributable to a river, stream, or lake overflowing its banks. Rather,
it may be the combination of excessive rainfall and/or snowmelt, saturated ground, and inadequate
drainage. With no place to go, the water will pond in isolated low areas that are often not in a mapped
floodplain. These areas can be backyards, city streets, or entire neighborhoods. This type of flooding,
often called urban flooding, is becoming increasingly prevalent as development outstrips the ability of the
drainage infrastructure to properly carry and disperse the water flow. Urban flooding also occurs due to
combined storm and sanitary sewers that cannot handle the tremendous flow of water that often
accompanies storm events. Typically, the result is water backing into basements that damages
mechanical systems and can create serious public health and safety concerns. Other cases involve the
ponding of waters across roads or in other low-lying areas. In Illinois, over 90% of urban flooding
damage claims from 2007 to 2014 were outside the mapped floodplains.
Except for fire, the most common hazard in the United States is flooding with thousands of incidents
occurring each year from oceans, rivers, lakes, small streams, gullies, creeks, culverts, dry streambeds or
305

Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 65
low lying ground. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) standard definition of a flood
is:
A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of
normally dry land area or of two or more properties (at least one of which is the policyholder's
property) from:
Overflow of inland or tidal waters; or
Unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source; or
Mudflow; or
Collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or similar body of water as a
result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding
anticipated cyclical levels that result in a flood as defined above.
A simpler definition is too much water in the wrong place. Since water circulates from clouds to the soil
to streams to rivers to the oceans and returns to the clouds, a scientific definition of a flood is an
imbalance in the “hydrological system” with more water flowing through the system than the system can
draw off.
Flood Terms
100-Year Flood Plain: A flood event that statistically has a 1 out of 100 (or one percent) chance
of being equaled or exceeded on a specific watercourse in any given
year. A flood event of this magnitude is often used to determine if flood
insurance is required for a federally backed loan for buildings in the 100-
year floodplain.
500-Year Flood Plain: A flood having a 0.2% or greater annual probability of occurring every
year.
Base Flood: Defined by FEMA as the flood having a 1-percent probability of being
equaled or exceeded in any given year; also referred to as the 100-year
flood.
Flood Stage: The point at which the water level in a stream begins to cause damage to
structures.
306
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 66
Floodplain: The area adjoining a watercourse that may be covered by floodwater
during a flood. The 100-year floodplain is the land typically adjacent to
a body of water with ground surface elevations at or below the base flood
or the 100-year frequency flood elevation. This area, if left undisturbed,
acts to store excess floodwater. The 100-year floodplain is made up of
two sections: the floodway and the flood fringe, together these sections
are also referred to as the Special Flood Hazard Area or the SFHA.
Floodway: A flow path (sometimes artificial) that carries significant volumes of
floodwaters during a flood. The floodway carries the bulk of the
floodwater downstream and is usually the area where water velocities
and forces are the greatest. NFIP regulations require that the floodway
be kept open and free from development or other structures that would
obstruct or divert flood flows onto other properties. The floodway is
needed to store and convey the critical duration 100-year frequency flood
discharge with no more than a 0.1 foot increase in flood stage due to the
loss of flood conveyance or storage and no more than a 10% increase in
velocities.
Flood Fringe: The areas of a delineated floodplain adjacent to the floodway where
encroachment may be permitted.
Mitigation: Flood mitigation is any action taken to reduce risk to people or property
from flooding and its effects. Nonstructural measures are used to make
existing and future development more resilient to flooding or to preserve
(or restore) natural floodplain functions so that developed property is not
affected. These include elevating structures, demolishing structures,
flood proofing non-residential buildings, relocating or elevating furnaces
and water heaters, etc. Structural measures seek to prevent the advance
of flood waters, usually through an engineered measure such as a dam,
levee, or floodwall.

Commonly, people
interpret the 50-year
flood definition to
mean “once every 50
years.” This is
incorrect. Statistically
speaking, a 50-year
flood has a 1/50 (2 %)
chance of occurring in
any given year. In
reality, a 50-year flood
could occur two times
in the same year, two
years in a row, or four
times over the course of 50 years. It is possible not to have a 50-year flood over the course of 100 years.

FEMA uses the “base” flood as the basis for its
regulatory requirements and flood insurance
rate setting; it is also the basis for this analysis.
The base flood is the 1% chance flood, i.e., the
flood that has a 1% (one out of 100) chance of
occurring in any given year. The 1% chance
flood has also been called the 100-year flood.
The “500-year flood” has a 0.2 % chance of
occurring in any given year. While the odds are
more remote, it is the national standard used for
protecting critical facilities, such as hospitals
and power plants.
Hydrologic Cycle
The hydrologic cycle begins with the
evaporation of water from the surface of the
ocean. As moist air is lifted, it cools and water
vapor condenses to form clouds. Moisture is
transported around the globe until it returns to the surface as precipitation. Once the water reaches the
ground, one of two processes may occur: 1) some of the water may evaporate back into the atmosphere
or 2) the water may penetrate the surface and become groundwater. Groundwater either seeps its way
into the oceans, rivers, and streams or is released back into the atmosphere through transpiration. The
balance of water that remains on the earth's surface is runoff, which empties into lakes, rivers and streams
and is carried back to the oceans where the cycle begins again.
What are the odds of a flood?
The term “100-year flood” has caused much confusion for
people not familiar with statistics. Another way of looking at
it is to think of the odds that a base flood will happen
sometime during the life of a 30-year mortgage (26%
chance).
Chance of Flooding over a Period of Years
Flood Size
Period 10-year 25-year 50-year 100-year
1 year 10% 4% 2% 1%
10 years 65% 34% 18% 10%
20 years 88% 56% 33% 18%
30 years 96% 71% 45% 26%
50 years 99% 87% 64% 39%
Even these numbers do not convey the true flood risk
because they focus on the larger, less frequent, floods. If a
house is low enough, it may be subject to the 10- or 25-year
flood. During the proverbial 30-year mortgage, it may have a
26% chance of being hit by the 100-year flood, but the odds
are 96% (nearly guaranteed) that a 10-year flood will occur
during the 30 year period. Compare those odds to the only
5% chance that the house will catch fire during the same 30-
year mortgage.

Types of Flooding
There are many factors that contribute to the flooding. These factors include an abnormally heavy or
intense rainfall, the melting of packed snow, the simultaneous arrival of flood crests from major
tributaries, the formation of ice jams that block flow, inadequately designed storm water systems, and
the creation of hydrologic structures (i.e. dams and levees) which are prone to failure and either cause
an incident or aggravate an already existing one. Primarily, floods do occur in the springtime but can
occur any time of the year. The types of flooding experienced in Will County are:
Riverine: Develop along a defined creek or river. Large river systems have floods that
develop more slowly, sometimes over a period of days or weeks.
Flash: Develop quickly, sometimes in just a few minutes. Flash floods are typically the
result of intense storms dropping large amounts of rain within a brief period or they
can be caused by a structure failure, such as a dam, culvert, levee, or a debris jam.
They can be in a mapped floodplain but can occur anywhere.
Summary of the Hydrologic Cycle
310
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 70
Ice Jam: Jammed ice creates a dam across the channel over which the water and ice mixture
continues to flow causing more jamming to occur. Water levels upstream from the
ice dam may rise rapidly and overflow the channel banks. When the ice dam fails,
flooding occurs as the water stored behind the ice dam is quickly released.
Shallow Depth: Occurs outside a defined river or stream, typically ponding in a low-lying area or
behind an obstruction, such as a railroad or levee.
Aquifer: Water is expelled from a subterranean geologic formation to the surface causing
flooding in the immediate area.
Subterranean: Water floods into tunnels that are normally dry.
Urban: Occurs when rainfall overwhelms the capacity of drainage systems, such as storm
sewers, and inundates property in a built environment, particularly in densely
populated areas. Urban flooding also includes sanitary sewer backups when the
groundwater infiltrates and fills sanitary sewers, combined sewer backup, and
seepage through building walls and floors.
Impact of Floods
The effects of a flood can be devastating and floods are probably the most pervasive of all natural
hazards in the U.S. Between the inundation of water and the force of the current, both lives and
property can be lost. People and animals can drown or be injured by the floodwaters and the current-
borne debris. The water and debris causes structural damage to buildings, roads, bridges, and
railroads as well as cars and personal property. Sanitary, power, water, and communication
installations can be severely damaged and their systems interrupted for long periods of time. Crops
can be carried away by the current or destroyed by the inundation. Farmlands and developed areas
may experience severe erosion resulting in the loss of valuable topsoil and private property can be
washed away.

Many low lying areas or floodplain areas of the county are damaged yearly by heavy rains. Although
the flooding may not have been declared federal disasters, the damage caused can be extensive. The
flooded areas can be evacuated; however, the property owners are faced with the repeated costs of
repairs and the emotional toll of the flooding.
Flash Flooding
Flash flooding is often the result of levee failure.
Levee failure can be due to many factors including
overtopping during large flood events, underseepage,
lack of maintenance allowing for the growth of trees
or animal burrows, utility or building encroachments,
and erosion.
The National Levee Database is a list of some of our
nation’s levees. The Isle a la Cache levee in
Romeoville is the only levee listed for Will County.
The levee, located in a Will
County Forest Preserve protects
the historic Isle a la Cache
museum, located on an island in
the Des Plaines River.
There are several other areas in
Will County where levees
provide some protection from
flooding. Many levees protect a
single property such as a quarry
site, electric power substation,
wastewater treatment, or water
treatment plant. The Isle a la
Cache is the only levee with
FEMA accreditation as shown

gates. The City is working on FEMA accreditation of the levee, which includes an operations and
maintenance plan.
Urban Flooding
The Illinois General Assembly under the
Urban Flooding Awareness Act (PA98-
0858 – August 3, 2014) tasked the Illinois
Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to
evaluate urban flooding in Illinois. Their
research identified urban flooding as a
major issue with $2.319 billion in
documented damage throughout the state between 2007 and 2014. The largest percentage of
insurance claims occurred in the six-county Chicago Metropolitan Area in northeastern Illinois.
Urban flooding is most common in older sections of communities where original storm sewers were
not designed to present day standards with the ability to handle increased runoff. Common factors
singly or in combination which can lead to urban flooding and damage include environmental,
development and impervious surfaces, and aging and limited infrastructure. But as more land is
converted to urban area, the availability of undeveloped land for water infiltration into the soil
decreases. Increased land development also creates frequent and chronic flooding during the natural
process of overbank flooding. The IDNR’s Report for the Urban Flooding Awareness Act and Model
Stormwater Management Ordinance is available from:
https://www2.illinois.gov/dnr/WaterResources/Documents/Final_UFAA_Report.pdf.
The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) has developed an urban flood susceptibility
index (FSI). The northern half of Will County, as well as the I-57 and Dixie Highway corridors, have
increased risk for urban flooding. The City of Joliet, due to their density and age of infrastructure has
the highest risk. The CMAP guide, Guide to Flood Susceptibility and Stormwater Planning,
integrates more information about flooding conditions into future land use and transportation
planning processes. The guide introduces the FSI and how it can be used to quickly identify areas
that could be more susceptible to flooding and incorporate that information into any standard

Erosion
Per FEMA, erosion is the wearing away of land, such as loss of riverbank, beach, shoreline, or dune
material. It is measured as the rate of change in the position or displacement of a riverbank or
shoreline over a period of time.
Short-term erosion often occurs from periodic natural events, such as flooding or hurricanes.
Long-term erosion is a result of multi-year impacts such as repetitive flooding, wave action,
sediment loss, or subsidence.
314
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 74
Death or injury are not usually associated with erosion; but erosion
can destroy buildings and infrastructure.
Erosion problems can be mitigated through planning and regulations or structure and infrastructure
projects.
Erosion risk can be assessed and monitored with mapping techniques.
o GIS can be used to identify and map erosion hazard areas and areas of at-risk structures.
o Databases can be used to track vulnerability to erosion.
Erosion damage can be mitigated through development regulations in hazard areas.
o Regulations and plans can be developed to address erosion protections, control
easements, erosion surcharges on homes, prohibiting development in high hazard areas,
or locating utilities and critical facilities outside the area susceptible to erosion.
Development can be designed to minimize damage due to erosion by using open or deep
foundation systems, clustering buildings during construction, or designing and orienting
infrastructure to deter erosion.
Remove existing buildings and infrastructure from erosion hazard areas and enforce
permanent restrictions on the land.
Stabilize erosion hazard areas through proper bank stabilization techniques.
Incorporate appropriate erosion control measures during active construction.
Increase awareness of erosion through education and disclosure of property located in high-
risk areas.1
Erosion hazard within Will County includes issues with stormwater discharges and flooding, storm
drain damage from pavement connections, construction site runoff, and sediment loss. The Will
County Stormwater Management Ordinance (WCSM Ordinance) includes a section on Sediment and
Erosion Control (See Section 55.035:

control. Under WCSM Ordinance, all jurisdictions within the county must adopt and enforce the
WCSM Ordinance or another ordinance that is consistent with and at least as strict as the WCSM
Ordinance.
Unincorporated Will County is also compliant with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) that addresses significant sources of pollution in storm water runoff, public
education, construction site runoff, and other sources to protect water quality. It also contains
information regarding public participation and involvement, illicit discharge detention and
elimination, post-construction runoff controls, and pollution prevention and housekeeping. The
concern is stormwater runoff that is transported through municipal separate storm sewer systems
(MS4s) that may discharge untreated into local water bodies. (See:
https://www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater-discharges-municipal-sources)
In farming, the primary cause of erosion in the Corn Belt, which includes Will County, is water. The
National Resources Conservation Service (NRSC) and Will County Soil and Water Conservation
District (SWCD) have witnessed considerable soil loss reductions by working with local farmers to
implement various soil erosion control practices that include High Residue Farming, Cover Crops,
Contour Grass Buffers, Filter Strips, Terraces, Grass Waterways, and Grade Stabilization Structures.
Several of these practices are used in combination with each other on many farms as an effective
system for controlling erosion.
The Will South Cook SWCD and NRSC provide area farmers with soil erosion education and data for
the county (See: http://www.will-scookswcd.org/). It is estimated with very few exceptions that
erosion control in Will County is at or below the Allowable Soil Loss indicating that the county’s
agricultural community understands the importance of controlling soil erosion.
Floodwater Roadway Overtopping
In addition to building damage, floods may also damage local roadways, driveway, culverts, and
ditches when they are overtopped by floodwaters. While submerged, floodwater acts as a lubricant
for the pavement, loosening its bonds. As current, winds, and even storms push the water around the
surface, material may be pulled away from the sides of the road. Rock and soil will typically just
wash away but this erosion may remove the support needed for pavement structure. For culverts

constantly trying to equalize pressure, climbing and
receding floodwater also contributes to erosion.
Roadway overtopping is a major safety concern
because of the potential for rapid soil erosion resulting
in partial or complete failure of the roadway
embankment. Damage repairs can be expensive and
take considerable time to complete. Efforts to alleviate
overtopping require identifying the source of the water
flow and using methods such as larger culverts or
redirection of the water flow to mitigate the issue.

Dam Failure
Flooding can also result from dam failure. Further discussion of Dam Failure is found later in this
chapter.
Watersheds
A watershed is defined by the 1988 Will County Stormwater Management Plan as all land area
drained by, or contributing water to, the same stream, lake, or stormwater facility. Therefore, a
watershed can be defined for a single drainage ditch, a local creek, or a large river. A watershed for a
larger river, often called a river basin, is a combination of the drainage area for all the streams and
smaller rivers that drain into the larger river. Smaller channels or tributaries collect runoff from rain
and snowmelt and send the water to larger channels and eventually to the main channel that is the
water course in the watershed.
Many watershed characteristics affect flooding. The slope of the watershed and the amount of
connected impervious areas will affect runoff speed and infiltration. The presence of wetlands or
other natural depressional areas that can retain stormwater will reduce runoff. The use of and size of
stormwater management basins can also reduce runoff.
Will County Watersheds
For planning purposes, the county has been
divided into four primary watersheds.
Calumet
Des Plaines
DuPage (part of the Des Plaines)
Kankakee
The two principal river basins are the Des
Plaines to the north and west and the Kankakee
River Basin to the south and east. Several large
tributaries to the Des Plaines River also flow
through the county, including the DuPage River
and the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.
318
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 78
The Des Plaines River flows
through the western portion of the
county and its watershed covers
virtually all of Cook and DuPage
Counties and nearly half of Lake
County. It has headwater areas in
both Wisconsin and Indiana. The
drainage area of the Des Plaines
River basin within Will County is
478 square miles.
The Kankakee River basin area
within Will County is 368 square
miles. Although the Kankakee
River flows through the southwest
corner of the county, the majority
of the Kankakee River basin area is
in Will County with the headwater
area composed of numerous smaller streams that drain through Kankakee County before joining the
Kankakee River. The Kankakee River and the Des Plaines River join to form the Illinois River just
outside Will County. For planning purposes, the two basins have been divided into four main
watershed planning units.
The character of the four watershed planning units varies both in terms of the demographics and the
physical conditions. The Des Plaines River, Calumet River, and DuPage River watersheds have
significant urban and suburban components. Conversely, the Kankakee River Watershed is primarily
rural and has over 75% of its land area in agricultural production. There are relatively few lakes in
Will County and there is very little data on the lakes that do exist.

Will County Stormwater Management Planning Committee
Will County Stormwater Management Planning Committee (WCSM Planning Committee) is an
intergovernmental entity with representation from both municipalities and Will County. The WCSM
Planning Committee is an advisory body to the Will County Board and is responsible for directing the
implementation of the county’s Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan and its revision, if
necessary. The Stormwater Plan establishes the recommended role of the WCSM Planning Committee,
which are:
Administration The WCSM Planning Committee is composed of half municipal and half County
& Management: Board representation. It has authority to establish its own committees and to retain
engineering, legal, and financial advisors and inspection personnel; yet, it is
planned that county staff will provide these services for the committee as feasible.
The committee is required by state statutes to meet, at a minimum, quarterly. (See:
https://www.willcountyillinois.com/County-Offices/Economic-
Development/Stormwater-Management-Planning-Committee/Members)
Regulation: The WCSM Planning Committee is an advisory body to the County Board and is
instrumental in developing and maintaining a county-wide ordinance for the
County Board and in advising the County Board on issues related to stormwater
management in Will County. The committee’s recommendations require due
consideration and any regulatory enactments in contravention to the committee’s
recommendations requires a super majority vote of the County Board.
Planning: This is a primary role for the WCSM Planning Committee that includes the
preparation and maintenance of the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan,
the WCSM Ordinance, and implementation of the county-wide plan.
Maintenance: The Stormwater Management Plan provides authority for the county to ensure
maintenance of stormwater facilities and the natural drainage system. The WCSM
Planning Committee receives from the county a budgeted amount each year to
provide 50/50 assistance towards projects within Will County.

The Will County Land Use Department website provides the public with valuable information on the
WCSM Planning Committee’s mission and activities. (See:
https://www.willcountyillinois.com/County-Offices/Economic-Development/Stormwater-
Management-Planning-Committee)
Will County Stormwater Management Ordinance and Guides:
The WCSM Ordinance was developed to ensure it incorporated the minimum requirements of the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and was accordingly reviewed by the Illinois Department
of Natural Resources (IDNR). Included within the ordinance:
Requirements for construction in floodplains and floodways,
Protection standards for building and public health,
Compensatory storage volume requirements,
Floodway standards, and
Bridge and culvert standards.
The ordinance also outlines the developments that are permitted in the floodway (appropriate uses)
providing they:
Do not cause an increase in flood heights or velocities for all flood events up to and including
the base flood,
Will not create a damaging or potentially damaging increase in flood heights or velocity,
Will not be a threat to public health safety and welfare,
Will not impair the natural hydrologic and hydraulic functions of the floodway channel, or
Will not permanently impair existing water quality or aquatic habitat.
Will County’s Stormwater Management Ordinance (Will County Code of Ordinances, Chap. 55)
requires, with state authority, communities within the county to adopt and enforce this ordinance or
adopt and enforce a municipal ordinance that is consistent with and at least as strict as the county
regulations. Each community meeting the requirements is certified by the Stormwater Committee
and is delegated the responsibility for ordinance enforcement. Within a delegated community, the
community can issue permits for appropriate uses in the floodway. If a community does not have
delegation authority, a permit must be issued by the IDNR. The Stormwater Committee shall
327
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 87
periodically review the implementation and enforcement of this ordinance by each certified
community.
A few communities (Coal City, Godley, Braceville, and Symerton) have not pursued certification for
the Countywide Ordinance primarily due to their small footprint within Will County. For the small
amount of development within their community that could fall within Will County, the cost would be
prohibitive for them to conduct reviews. In these instances, any development within these areas is to
be reviewed by Will County.

National Flood Insurance Program
For many years, the strategy for reducing flood damage followed a structural approach of building dams
and levees and making channel modifications. However, this approach did not slow the rising cost of
flood damage and did not provide an affordable opportunity for individuals to purchase insurance to
protect them from flood losses. It became apparent that a different approach was needed.
The NFIP was instituted in 1968 to make flood insurance available in communities that have agreed to
reduce flood losses by regulating and restricting future floodplain development. As a participant in the
NFIP, a community must adopt floodplain regulations that:
Require any new residential construction within the 100-year floodplain to have the lowest floor,
including the basement, elevated above the 100-year flood elevation
Require non-residential structures to be elevated or dry flood proofed above the 100-year flood
elevation (the flood proofing must be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect)
Require anchoring of manufactured homes in flood prone areas.
The community must also maintain a record of all lowest floor elevations or the elevations to
which buildings in flood hazard areas have been flood proofed.2
In Illinois, higher standards than the NFIP are required. Buildings must be protected to 1 foot above the
100-year flood elevation. Development in the floodway is also restricted and requires state permits.
In return for adopting floodplain management regulations, the federal government makes flood insurance
available to the citizens of the community. In 1973, the NFIP was amended to mandate the purchase of
flood insurance, as a condition of any loan that is federally regulated, supervised, or insured for
construction activities within the 100-year floodplain. Following this mandate, the mapping of our local
floodplains began as communities sought to join the NFIP. Throughout its history, the NFIP has provided
tens of billions of dollars in claims helping many thousands of home and business owners to recover from
the devastating effects of flooding. As the costs and consequences of flooding increase, it is more
important than ever to have access to flood insurance.

In 2012, Congress passed the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW-12) to continue
and strengthen the program. BW-12 required changes to all major components of the program including
flood insurance, flood hazard mapping, grants, and the management of floodplains. The Homeowner
Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 repealed and modified certain provisions of BW-12.
Addressed were refunds, rates, and surcharges; mapping; promotion of mitigation; and provisions for
flood insurance advocacy.
Under all of these recent reforms, the cost of flood insurance through the NFIP has increased on the
average of 8% a year, with some policies increasing at larger percentage. Many property owners are
finding it difficult to sustain the annual premiums. More premium rate changes are coming to the NFIP in
2021 under a program called Risk Rating 2.0.reforms. It is anticipated that these changes will benefit the
residents in Will County.
To help property owners that are substantially damaged, the NFIP does offer policy holders $30,000 to
cover the cost to mitigate the flood risk. This is called Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) coverage.
ICC covers the cost to bring the structure into compliance, including to elevate, relocate, demolish, or for
non-residential dry flood proof. This coverage can be transferred to a local government if the property is
acquired to cover the cost of demolition.
Flood Insurance Rate Maps and Flood Insurance Study
The 1968 National Flood Insurance Act required that flood zones be established to define locations
subject to higher probability of flooding. Maps were created that showed the location of the 100-year
floodplain, known as Special Hazard Flood Areas (SHFA). FEMA's floodplain maps, also called
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), were the nationally accepted source of data for determining if a
building is located in a flood zone. These maps were used to determine the type of construction
allowed and assign flood insurance rates. In the 1980s, digital data began to be used to process and
produce the paper FIRMs. GIS came of age in the early 1990s and in 2003, a multi-year billion dollar
program called Map Modernization began. This effort provided reliable digital FIRM data (DFIRMs)
to the GIS community and has brought floodplain management into a new age.
The first flood maps and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) in the county were issued in Naperville in
March 1979. Most other communities and the unincorporated area of the county were issued maps
331
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 91
over the next six years for their corporate boundaries until Will County received its first county-wide
map in September 1995. On February 15, 2019, the latest county-wide FIRM and FIS were issued for
Will County.
The FIRM, combined with the FIS, are designed to provide the user with the ability to determine the
flood zone and base flood elevation, for any location in the county. They provide the NFIP
community information, map panel information, cross section and hydraulic structure information,
flood elevation profiles, and base map information like road, stream, and public land survey data.
This data can be found at the FEMA Map Service Center website. The new FIRMs can also be
viewed on FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer viewer as shown in the image below of Rock Run
Creek in Joliet.
The Will County GIS Viewer now provides the limits of the floodplain as a layer. The county’s GIS
can be used in locating and characterizing floodplains accurately, making it a vital tool for emergency
managers, planners, building inspectors, insurance agencies, residents, and others.
As an example of the information provided by the county’s new DFIRMs, these maps identified parts
of City of Joliet’s downtown area that potentially lie in the 100 year floodplain which were not shown
in previous maps. This has resulted in the City of Joliet and Army Corps of Engineers working
together to identify the potential cause and plan for mitigating any issues. (See Mitigation Measures
on p. 4-106 for additional information.)

FLASH FLOODS
Hazard Characterization
Flash floods are a result of torrential rainfall over a short period of time, a sudden release of water from a
dam failure, or breakup of an ice jam. These floods occur suddenly with tremendous force. Flash floods
can turn calm rivers and streams into a turbulent torrent that is able to carry away boulders, trees, houses,
trailers, cars, and people.
Flash flooding is a major killer. All flash floods strike quickly and end swiftly. They can be deadly
because they produce rapid rises in water levels and have devastating flow velocities. Many flash floods
occur at night when they are difficult to see. Most flash flood deaths are related to vehicles being washed
away. People are warned not to attempt driving or walking across a flooded area because as little as two
feet of moving water will carry most cars away.
Flash floods can occur within several seconds to several hours and with little warning. Several factors
contribute to flash flooding. Among these are rainfall intensity, rainfall duration, surface conditions, and
topography and slope of the receiving basin. Most flash flooding is caused by slow-moving
thunderstorms in a local area or by heavy rains associated with hurricanes and tropical storms. Although
flash flooding occurs often along mountain streams, it is also common in urbanized areas where much of
the ground is covered by impervious surfaces.
Areas with steep slopes and narrow stream valleys are particularly vulnerable to flash flooding, as are the
banks of small tributary streams. In hilly areas, the high-velocity flows and short warning time make
flash floods hazardous and very destructive. Flash floods also can be caused by high intensity rainfall;
infrastructure failure such as stormwater storage basin, dam, or levee; the release of ice-jam flooding; or
debris.
ICE JAMS
Hazard Characteristics
Ice jams develop when mild temperatures occur in a location with deep snow cover and totally or partially
frozen rivers. The rising water in rivers then breaks the ice layer into large chunks. As these chunks float
downriver, they accumulate near obstructions, bridges, and dams. This ice jam then creates a dam across
337
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 97
the channel over which the water and ice mixture continues to flow allowing more jamming to occur.
Backwater upstream from the ice dam forces the water to overflow, flooding the surrounding area and
damaging low-lying areas and municipal structures. Flooding moves downstream when the ice dam fails,
and the water stored behind the dam is released. At this time, the flood takes on the characteristics of a
flash flood, with the added danger of ice flows, that when driven by the energy of the flood-wave, can
inflict serious damage on structures.
An added danger of being caught in an ice-jam flood is hypothermia, which can kill quickly. The highest
percentage of ice jams occur in the month of January followed by the month of March.
There are generally two types of ice jams:
Frazil ice freezes the river and forms a dam.
When warm weather and rain break up frozen rivers or any time there is a rapid cycle of freezing
and thawing, broken ice floats downriver until it is blocked by an obstruction such as a bridge or
shallow area.
Ice jams present three hazards:
Sudden flooding of areas upstream from the jam, often on clear days with little or no warning.
Sudden flooding of areas downstream when an ice jam breaks. The impact is similar to a dam
break, damaging or destroying buildings and structures.
Movement of ice chunks that can push over trees and crush buildings.

History: Flood, Flash Flood, and Ice Jams
Will County has always been afflicted by the
constant damage and destruction of flooding.
Damage caused by the 1974 floods was sufficient to
declare the county to be a Presidential disaster area.
Once again, a Presidential disaster would be
declared in this area due to the flooding in June,
1981. The DuPage River was declared a State
Disaster area from the flooding of July 1983, which
included the Will County townships of DuPage,
Homer, Lockport, Plainfield, and Troy. Federal
disasters were again declared for flooding, including the DuPage River area, occurring in July 1996;
September 2008; and April 2013. Mitigation funding of approximately $10.6 million has been spent in
Will County from the 1996 and 2008 floods.
Severe Storms and Flooding – July 17 to August 7, 1996
Federal Disaster Declaration #1129
Public Assistance - $4,265,671
Individual Assistance - $933,042 (974 referrals)
Severe storms and torrential rains began on July 17th and continued intermittently through August 7,
1996. Nearly 17 inches of rain fell in northern Will County on July 17th and 18th. Flash flooding resulted
in widespread power outages, disruption of commuter rail service, and the flooding of thousands of
homes and hundreds of businesses. Major transportation routes including interstate highways, city
streets, and commuter rail lines were closed due to the flooding. Damage was widespread throughout
Will County with several millions of dollars in property damage. Major flooding occurred in the western
half of the county in the townships of Lockport, New Lenox, Joliet, Wheatland, DuPage, Homer,
Frankfort, Troy, Wilton, Plainfield, Crete, and Channahon. As a result of the federal declaration, grants
and low interest loans were made available to homeowners. Home located along the DuPage River were
purchased by the federal government in Plainfield, Shorewood, and Channahon. Public assistance helped
to rebuild roads and bridges that were destroyed or damaged as a result of the flooding.

Wilmington is prone to Ice Jams

Severe Storms and Flooding – September 13, 2008
Federal Disaster Declaration #1800
Public Assistance - $667,787
Individual Assistance - $1,438,500 (1,159 referrals)
A flood watch was put into effect in the early morning of September 13th and continued into September
15, 2008. A tornado watch also occurred on September 13th. Rainfall amounts varied around the county
from 6 to 9 inches with the heaviest amounts occurring in the central and eastern parts of the county.
Flooding issues included sewer back-ups, flooded roads, river flooding, and water in basements.
Flooding prompted road closures affected approximately 25 arterial streets along with numerous side
streets. The DuPage River level rose to 23.86 feet, surpassing the record set in 1996, causing flooding in
the Bolingbrook area. Plainfield, Joliet, and Shorewood undertook sandbagging efforts at various
locations along the DuPage River with several homes in the Plainfield area evacuated due to rising water.
Sporadic instances of motorists becoming trapped attempting to drive through high water occurred.
Beecher experienced a partial disruption to its sanitary sewer system resulting in sewer back-ups in
several homes.
The Will County EMA website was a source of information for the public on current flood conditions and
weather advisories, what to do if their home was flooded, links to river gauges in Will County, and
available monetary assistance for flood damaged homes. Along with traditional news media, the county’s
websites provided an information resource for those seeking assistance available under the federal and
state emergency declarations.
Severe Storms and Flooding – April 18, 2013
Federal Disaster Declaration #4116
Public Assistance - $1,238,434
Individual Assistance - $4,368,244 (2,385 referrals)
In April 2013, Will County and other northern Illinois
counties experienced a large amount of precipitation within
a short period of time. The rain began on April 17th and
continued into April 19th causing severe flooding throughout the county resulting in damage to roads,
businesses, and homes. Rain totals varied from 3” to almost 7” across the county. Areas along the
DuPage River including western Joliet, Plainfield, and Shorewood generally received the heaviest rainfall
amounts. The Kankakee and Des Plaines Rivers did not experience flooding; however all watersheds

tributary to those rivers overflowed. Road closures were experienced in Bolingbrook, Joliet, Naperville,
and Plainfield along with closures on state roads and inter-state highways. Limited power outages were
experienced. Public safety communications for several fire departments in the southwest portion of the
county were disrupted due to the flooding of their primary communications tower. Schools were closed
in Plainfield, Wilmington, and one elementary school in Joliet. Plainfield temporarily sheltered 12
residents at one of their high schools. Will County hospitals supported Morris Hospital with their
evacuation effort. Thirty-eight counties were declared in a “state of emergency” by Governor Quinn with
thirty-three counties declared federal disasters.

Mitigation Measures
To address flooding issues within Will County after the 1996 flood, the Will County Comprehensive
Stormwater Management Plan was developed in 1998. It established the WCSM Planning Committee
(see p. 4-85), composed of municipal and County Board members, who were tasked to develop a county-
wide ordinance to address stormwater and
floodplain management. This ordinance, the
WCSM Ordinance, has set the minimum standards
for flood control issues throughout the county and is
adopted and implemented by all municipalities in
the county. The WCSM Planning Committee
identifies flood mitigation projects through the
recommendations of municipalities, review of
available watershed studies, and evaluation of flood
incidents. The WCSM Planning Committee works
with surrounding counties to address flooding issues
with watersheds that cross county borders. Some
examples of their projects are available from:
https://www.willcountyillinois.com/County-Offices/Economic-Development/Stormwater-Management-
Planning-Committee/Plans-Projects.
Many types of flood mitigation measures are available to the WCSM Planning Committee and
community partners. Some for them to consider are:
Maintaining and implementing the Will County Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan to
identify flooding issues and strategizing methods to address those issues will continue to reduce
damages to infrastructure and buildings. Issues to be addressed in the county’s watersheds by the
WCSM Planning Committee include surface flooding, stream maintenance,
erosion/sedimentation control, water quality, watershed education, infrastructure maintenance,
agency coordination, and property damage.
Improving enforcement of the Will County Water Resource Ordinance and Stormwater
Management Ordinance, especially as it pertains to completion of post-flood damage assessments
and implementation of the substantial improvement and substantial damage provisions.
WCSM Planning Committee Projects

Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 106
Improving WCSM Planning Committee planning and project prioritization by conducting
watershed studies that provide an analysis of each watershed’s function, behavior, physical
characteristics, and population/land use distribution. The studies will document the flooding
issues in each watershed for development of a flood mitigation project list and provide the
WCSM Planning Committee with a basis for cost/benefit analysis, project prioritization, and
partner support.
The adoption of IBC and IRC building standards (see p. 5-13 for jurisdictions) and development
plans (see p. 5-11 for jurisdictional plans) have helped to alleviate flooding issues in construction
that has occurred after a communities first FIRM, which defined the community’s floodplains..
Federal funding after the 1996 and 2008 floods has helped to purchase or retrofit older buildings
located in floodplains. A large share of the properties purchased after the 1996 flood were
located along the DuPage River and Jackson Creek. Buyouts after the 2008 were residential in
nature and targeted properties located in Plainfield, Channahon, and Crete Townships. Continued
buyouts of pre-FIRM structures in special flood hazard areas or retrofitting will help to alleviate
issues with repetitive loss properties.
Improved technology in monitoring rain and stream gauges allows the NWS and USGS to
develop better forecasting models and real-time data that will enable government agencies,
private institutions, and individuals to make more informed decisions about risk based policies
and actions to mitigate the dangers posed by floods. Additionally, improved forecasting and real-
time data combined with the latest in communications and alert systems will also mitigate the
dangers of floods and help to save lives. Will County Land Use Department and Emergency
Management Agency (EMA) continue to partner with the NWS, USGS, and other agencies to
improve forecasting, utilize advanced technology, implement mitigation measures, and maintain
planning to ensure the public’s safety.
Communities within Will County are part of the NFIP and under the Will County Water Resource
Ordinance and Stormwater Management Ordinance already exceed the minimum standards of
the NFIP. The county and communities could further improve their floodplain management by
participating in the NFIP’s Community Rating System (CRS) program. The CRS is a voluntary
incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities
that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements in areas such as public outreach, stream
maintenance, floodplain open space preservation, and acquisition of floodplain structures.

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 107
Through this program, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reflect the reduced flood
risk resulting from meeting the three goals of the CRS: Reduce flood damage to insurable
property, strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP, and encourage a
comprehensive approach to floodplain management.
Identifying critical facilities located in the 100-year and 500-year floodplain with GIS and
maintain a data-base to prioritize for flood mitigation and emergency planning.
Developing and maintaining a county-wide database of flood prone properties to be acquired.
Another important mitigation measure is flood risk and mitigation techniques education. Federal
and state agencies provide a wealth of information on flood risks and dangers which can be
provided to the public in flood prone areas. Also, it is important to inform the public about the
availability of flood insurance. Other education outreach can inform the public about mitigation
techniques that they can implement at their homes or businesses. Educational material can be
provided to the public through expanding communication technology. Print material can be
distributed through traditional methods of brochures, news media, newsletters, or presentations at
community events. Websites and the growing social media are other educational avenues to
reach the public. Smartphone applications (apps) are another effective educational tool. County
and communities can continue their public education by adding new and improved
communication tools to their outreach efforts.
City of Joliet and I&M Canal
The DFIRMS that went into effect in Will County on February 15, 2019, placed a large portion of
the City of Joliet’s downtown area into the 100-year floodplain. Prior to these new maps, the area
was not considered to be located in the floodplain. The basis for the change is a scenario in
which the Des Plaines River, where flood walls terminate, would backup into the I&M Canal
causing the water to overtop some existing ground elevations adjacent to the canal. The City of
Joliet has joined with the Army Corp of Engineers to develop a plan to raise existing lower
ground elevations above the 100-year floodplain elevation and certify the new ground elevations
as a levee. The intent of mitigation is to remove the floodplain from this area.

Watershed Studies
DuPage River, Illinois Feasibility Report and Integrated Environmental Assessment
Will County partnered with the DuPage County Stormwater Management Planning Committee and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a study investigating overbank and backwater flooding along
the DuPage River and its major tributaries which are tributary to the Illinois River. The study’s emphasis
was on prioritizing high-risk areas and developing a range of possible structural and nonstructural
alternatives to address flood risks. The study area has experienced rapid development over the past
several decades and currently includes forty communities and over 1 million residents. Major storm
events resulting in overbank flooding in the basin occurred in 1996, 2008, 2010, and 2013. Will County
was included in the 2013 federal disaster declaration (DR-4116) and $1.4 million in public assistance was
provided within the county.
The study includes an assessment of existing and projected future damages without project conditions
over a 50-year period of analysis. With a significant risk of overbank flooding existing in a number of
locations across the watershed, costs of damages without project conditions are estimated at $5,317,000
annually. The problems within the DuPage River Watershed are system-wide requiring system-wide
flood risk management solutions. Problems include development within the watershed which increase the
amount of impervious surfaces. Opportunities exist to manage flood risk and improve resiliency. The
objectives of the study are to reduce risk of flood damages to structures and infrastructures and reduce
life-safety risk associated with overbank flooding.
Will County will be working with its partners to address the DuPage River Watershed study findings to
mitigate flooding risks.

Des Plaines River Watershed Discovery Report
The Des Plaines River Watershed extends from the far southeastern part of Wisconsin to the northern
edge of Will County, Illinois. The river has a long history of flooding that has resulted in millions of
dollars of damages impacting
structures, businesses, transportation
networks, and injuries and lives. The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) conducted a flood damage
study of the watershed. The Discovery
Report includes data collected from the
study and identifies mitigation projects
that include levees, roads that
frequently flood, significant riverine
erosion, at-risk essential facilities,
stream flow constriction, and recent
and/or future development. The
results of the study allow the USACE
to develop a phased plan to begin
mitigating the watershed’s flood
problems. Pages 47-49 of the report
list projects identified in Will County
and provides the county with data to
assist in prioritizing flood mitigation
projects.

Risk Characterization
Flooding is generally part of a natural cycle that has many important and beneficial functions for the
environment. Flooding raises the water table in wetlands, maintains biodiversity, and replenishes
nutrients back into the soil. Additionally, higher water tables allow fish and water plants to re-colonize
and may also help to control some invasive species. Flooding, however, becomes a problem in the built
environment. Drainage systems and city sewers can become overwhelmed, causing raw sewage to back
up in basements and onto roadways. Flooding in urban areas can also cause increased runoff, which may
carry pollutants through storm sewers into rivers and lakes. Urban runoff can be toxic, as it may contain
garbage, fertilizers, oil and other residues from city streets.
Riverine flooding has caused displacement, property damage, and impacts on the health of residents.
Floods can damage or destroy public and private property, disable utilities, make roads and bridges
impassable, destroy crops and agricultural lands, cause disruption to emergency services, and result in
fatalities. People may be stranded in their homes for several days without power or heat, or they may be
unable to reach their homes at all. Long-term collateral dangers include the outbreak of disease,
widespread animal death, broken sewer lines causing water supply pollution, downed power lines, broken
gas lines, fires, and the release of hazardous materials.
Flooding is a hazard whose risk is routinely underestimated by the public who may be inclined to attempt
to walk or drive through shallow waters or to allow their children and pets to play in the water as if it
were part of a beach or swimming pool. Public education is vital so that there is widespread knowledge
of the contaminants and germs that floodwaters contain and a greater awareness of the risks that
floodwaters pose to drivers and pedestrians.
Drivers need to know that roads and bridges are often weakened and degraded by flood impacts and that
the road they assume is still there under shallow waters may no longer be intact. Floodwaters tend to
conceal the presence of open manholes, dangerous debris (such as rusty nails and metal), and live
electrical wires that can cause harmful shocks. Less than a foot of flowing water can cause vehicles to
end up in a ditch or sinkhole where persons may find it impossible to escape from a submerged vehicle
under the pressures exerted by flowing water.
Flooding is a major, recurring problem in Illinois. Any buildings in the flood plain are subject to flood
damage. Flood damage in Will County results from several different causes. Floods on the Kankakee
and Des Plaines Rivers, generally, are associated with spring snowmelt combined with ice jams and
361
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 121
frontal rain storms. Flooding is often aggravated by inter-basin flow between the Kankakee River and the
Des Plaines River, the Kankakee River and Forked Creek, the I and M Canal and the DuPage River, and I
and M Canal and Long Run. Floods on much smaller tributaries in Will County are caused by intense
thunderstorms which occur in the summer and early fall.
Since the floodplains have been built upon over the years, it would be financially unfeasible for the state,
county, or local community to buy all the properties in the floodplain. The NFIP requires that the county
and communities, through their local floodplain ordinances, inspect all structures damaged in the
floodplain by a flood or other event and require mitigation when the cost to repair is greater than 50% of
the market value of the structure. When defined as a substantially damaged structure, a residential
structure must either be elevated, demolished, or relocated and a non-residential structure must also be
elevated, demolished, relocated, or dry flood proofed. The ordinance also requires that improvements to
floodplain structures be limited to 50% of the structure’s market value when flooding of the property is
expected or predicted.
For low lying areas, some of the flooding is attributed to poor storm sewer and drainage systems, debris,
and obstructions in side yard swales over overland flow paths. Many of these flooding problems can be
alleviated with infrastructure improvements, stream maintenance programs, and enforcement of zoning
codes or easement restrictions for illegal structure removal.
New construction near floodplains potentially alters surface water flows by diverting water to new
courses or increases the amount of water that runs off impermeable pavement and roof surfaces. This
diverts water, if done improperly, to areas previously safe from flooding. Higher risks are associated to
areas with increased populations as well as residential growth. Per census data, Will County grew in
population by 34.9% from 2000 to 2010 to a total of 677,560 people making it one of the fastest growing
counties in the U.S. and it continues to grow with an estimated 2019 census total of 690,743. Future
plans will continue to keep track of high growth populations and note that they have the potential for
higher vulnerability to flooding issues.

2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 122
Impact for Flood: Medium
Damage to Buildings
Buildings can be impacted by the velocity of
flooding with the force of debris or ice against the
exterior damaging the outside walls or pushing the
structure off its foundation. Flood waters will
deposit sediment and other contaminates. This is a
severe problem when hazardous materials are released into the flood waters.
Hydrostatic pressure, the pressure exerted by the water when it is at rest, can break walls, doors, and
floors or even float a structure. Insulation, drywall and other building materials will deteriorate and
decompose when wet. Wood will swell from the water and then warp when dried too quickly.
Building contents are usually not salvageable after a flood. Any electrical appliances or gas powered
engines will be unsafe unless properly dried and cleaned.
Upholstered furniture, carpeting, mattresses, and household goods cannot be dried out to useable
condition. Dampness, unless mitigated within 24 to 48 hours, will then encourage the growth of
mold. Mold spores can germinate and grow in a moist or damp environment on any surface that
contains organic matter. A home that’s been flooded can provide ideal conditions for the growth and
proliferation of mold. Indoor mold can trigger allergies or allergy-like symptoms affecting the upper
respiratory system.
Critical Facilities
For some activities and facilities, even a slight chance of flooding is too great a threat. Typical
critical facilities include hospitals, fire stations, police stations, storage of critical records, and similar
facilities. These facilities should be given special consideration when formulating regulatory
alternatives and floodplain management plans. A critical facility should not be located in a floodplain
if at all possible. If a critical facility must be located in a floodplain, it should be provided a higher
level of protection so that it can continue to function and provide services after the flood.
Communities should develop emergency plans to continue to provide these services during the flood.

Under Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, federal agencies funding and/or permitting
critical facilities are required to avoid the 0.2% (500-year) floodplain or protect the facilities to the
0.2% chance flood level.
Under State of Illinois, Executive Order (EO) 2006-05 state agencies are prohibited from planning,
funding and/or permitting new critical facilities in the floodplain. Where that is not practicable, these
facilities shall have the lowest floor equal to or greater that the 500-year flood elevation or be
structurally dry flood proofed to that same elevation. The EO includes police and fire stations,
schools, hospitals, retirement homes, and senior care facilities as critical facilities that should be
required to meet this standard.
Damage to critical facilities can add to the widespread damage experienced by floods by reducing
services they provide to the public. Damage to utilities or pipelines can cause outages. Flooded
water or wastewater treatment plants can create serious health hazards. Transportation and
communication systems can be limited or shut down. Fires are damaging when areas are inaccessible
to fire equipment.
Health and Safety
It is imperative that people heed warnings during floods. A car will float in less than two feet of
moving water sweeping it into deeper waters. Most deaths during floods are a result of people
trapped in their vehicles. It is important that people heed travel warnings as road conditions can be
easily misjudged. Water on roads can be much deeper than it appears or sections of road or small
bridges can be washed out and the damage not visible.
Health is affected when drinking water is contaminated with dirt, oil, chemicals, or other debris found
in the stormwater runoff. It is important that private wells in flooded areas be tested for
contamination and contaminated wells disinfected before resuming well use. As flood waters recede,
pools of standing water become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Wet farm fields negatively impact
the planting and harvest seasons and can damage farm equipment. Damp areas of buildings not
properly disinfected begin to grow mold or mildew. People may experience heart attacks from
overexertion or stress. Deaths also occur from electrocution when electrical mechanisms short out
and create live current.

Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 124
Floods also have a psychological impact on the people who have lost their home or keepsakes. For
those located in floodplain areas, knowledge that their homes could be flooded again causes
additional psychological strain.
Economic Impact
Flooding has an economic impact on all residents of the county. Public dollars are spent on flood
fighting, sandbags, fire department calls, road closures and repairs, clean-up, and repairs to damaged
public property. If a disaster is declared a federal disaster, public assistance funds may be made
available to cover some of these flood fighting and recovery costs. Communities should prepare
accounting practices prior to an event to ensure as much of their costs are eligible for reimbursement.
The general public is further impacted when the underfunded NFIP makes payouts for flood claims.
The NFIP is meant to be self-supporting, though in 2003 the Government Accountability Office
(GAO) found that repetitive-loss properties cost the taxpayer about $200 million annually. To cover
these costs, the NFIP borrows from the U.S. Treasury when losses are heavy, and these loans are paid
back with interest. Since the NFIP was created in 1968, flood risks continue and the costs and
consequences of flooding are increasing dramatically. As previously discussed, the Biggert-Waters
Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW-12) and the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability
Act of 2104 were passed to make the NFIP more sustainable and financially sound.
Homeowners are faced with damages to the homes, loss of personal property including cars, furniture
clothing, etc. While some will have flood insurance that will cover much of the damages many
homeowners will have no coverage. Depending on the severity of the flooding, they may also face
temporary housing costs. In federally declared disasters, Small Business Administration loans may
be available to help people recover some of their financial losses and housing assistance may also be
available.
Business losses also occur due to flood damage to the facility structures and inventory. Customers
may not be able to reach businesses located in the flood area or raw materials or goods cannot be
transported in or out. Additionally, businesses can be impacted by employees who must clean-up
their flood damaged homes. Repeated flooding in an area can cause declining property values. In
rural areas, flooded fields can mean the loss of the season’s crops or food source for livestock.

Future Occurrence
Though flooding can never be eliminated, measures can be taken to lessen the impact of flooding.
Among the more notable flood protection measures is the WCSM Planning Committee. It is
responsible for directing the implementation of Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan and
provides the Will County Stormwater Technical Guidance Manual to developers, applicants, and
administrators to assist them in complying with the Stormwater Management Ordinance and the
technical requirements of a stormwater permit application.
The primary purpose of the WCSM Planning Committee is to provide county-wide coordination of
stormwater management in Will County, to ensure consistent levels of flood mitigation, and to
prevent stormwater related problems throughout the county's watersheds. This provides for a
consolidated county-wide framework.
The goals for the Will County Stormwater Program are as follows:
1. Consolidate and coordinate existing stormwater management programs and activities into an
effective, unified county-wide structure.
2. Prevent increases in stormwater related problems associated with development,
redevelopment, and other watershed activities.
3. Remediate existing problems related to improper management of stormwater runoff and
encroachment into flood-prone areas.
4. Ensure maintenance, management, and sustainable operation of natural and manmade
stormwater drainage and storage features.
A result of their work is the comprehensive county-wide stormwater ordinance that applies to both
incorporated and unincorporated areas. It minimizes any increases in stormwater-related problems
and specifies standards for stormwater drainage and detention, floodplain management, soil erosion
and sediment control, and stream and wetland protection in a single document. To ensure consistency
among watershed plans, the committee coordinates watershed projects within the county and with
neighboring counties where watersheds cross county borders.

Another flood protective
measure has been the
increased use of stream
gauge monitors with
telemetry that provide real-
time information. Stream
gauges provide the
National Weather Service
(NWS), in collaboration
with many federal, state,
and local agencies, with
accurate and updated data
that improves their river
forecasts and warning
system for the protection of
life and property, and the
enhancement of the
national economy. NWS
data and products form a
national information
database and infrastructure
which can be used by other
governmental agencies, the private sector, the public, and the global community. Real-time data can
be obtained online as represented by this NWS sample and the following link to stream gauges.
See Will County stream gauges:

EXTREME HEAT
Hazard Characterization
Extreme heat for a region is temperatures that hover 10 degrees or more above the average high
temperature for several days to several weeks. The definition does vary by region; however, a heat wave
is usually defined as a period of at least three consecutive days above 90 degrees. Humid or muggy
conditions, which add to the discomfort of high temperatures, occur when a “dome” of high atmospheric
pressure traps hazy, damp air near the ground. Excessively dry and hot conditions can provoke dust
storms and low visibility.
Prolonged periods of extreme heat and
humidity have a deleterious effect on a
community, particularly the elderly and those
who cannot afford cooling capabilities. The
National Weather Service (NWS) has devised
the “heat index” to describe how hot it feels
when temperature and humidity are
combined. When the temperature is above
90º F and humidity is high, the body is under
great stress to regulate the body’s normal
temperature.
Heat waves can cause heatstroke, a medical
emergency, and heat exhaustion. Heatstroke
causes high body temperatures and the victim
may become delirious, stuporous, or
comatose. Heat exhaustion is less severe but
can cause dizziness, weakness, and fatigue.
It is typically the result of fluid imbalance
caused by increased perspiration. Extreme
heat can also cause heat syncope, a loss of consciousness, and heat cramps, all brought on by over
exercise.
EXTREME HEAT TERMS
Heat
Advisory
Issued within 12 hours of the onset of the
following conditions: heat index of at least 105°F
but less than 115°F for less than 3 hours per day,
or nighttime lows above 80°F for 2 consecutive
days.
Heat Wave Prolonged period of excessive heat often
combined with excessive humidity.
Heat Index
A number in degrees Fahrenheit (F) that tells how
hot it feels when relative humidity is added to the
air temperature. Exposure to full sunshine can
increase the heat index by 15 degrees.
Heat
Cramps
Muscular pains and spasms due to heavy
exertion. Although heat cramps are the least
severe of heat related medical problems, they are
often the first signal that the body is having
trouble with the heat
Heat
Exhaustion
Typically occurs when people exercise heavily or
work in a hot, humid place where body fluids are
lost through heavy sweating. Blood flow to the
skin increases, causing blood flow to decrease to
the vital organs. This results in a form of mild
shock. If not treated, the victim’s condition will
worsen. Body temperature will keep rising and
the victim may suffer heat stroke.
Heat or
Sun Stroke
Heat stroke is life-threatening. The victim’s
temperature control system, which produces
sweating to cool the body, stops working. The
body temperature can rise so high that brain
damage and death may result if the body is not
cooled quickly.

2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 131
Stagnant atmospheric (humid and muggy) conditions and poor air quality can induce heat-related
illnesses. Heatstroke and heat exhaustion are more intense in urban areas. Other effects of extreme heat
are water shortages, fire hazards,
excessive demands for energy,
damaged crops, and danger to
livestock. Roads, bridges, railroad
tracks, and other infrastructure can
also be damaged by the thermal
expansion caused by extreme heat.
The NWS offices with
responsibility for counties in the
State of Illinois will initiate alert
procedures to warn people of the impending danger due to excessive heat. When the heat index is
forecasted to exceed 105 - 110 degrees for at least two consecutive days, NWS procedures are:
Heat Index values will be included in all NWS forecasts
“Hazardous Weather Outlook” products will highlight any threat of excessive heat for the
following 1 to 7 day period
“Excessive Heat Warning” products will present a detailed discussion of:
The extent and expected duration of the hazard, including forecast temperatures and heat
index values
Who is most at risk
Safety rules for reducing the risk
State and local health officials will assist in preparing emergency messages prior to and during
excessive heat events. Meteorological information from “Excessive Heat Warnings” will be
included, as well as more detailed medical information, advice, and names and telephone
numbers of health officials
Forecasts, outlooks and warnings will be released by the NWS to the media, over NOAA’s All
Hazards Weather Alert Radio system, and via NEWS web sites.
HEAT INDEX / HEAT DISORDERS
Heat Index Possible Heat Disorders for People in Higher Risk Groups
125° or Higher Heat stroke/sun stroke, highly likely with continued exposure.
104° - 126°
Sun stroke/heat cramps or heat exhaustion likely, and heat
stroke possible with prolonged exposure and/or physical
activity.

History
Severe heat waves have caused catastrophic crop failures, thousands of deaths
and widespread power outages due to increased use of air conditioning. The
Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has provided information on heat
related deaths. Identifying the exact number of
deaths due to heat is very difficult. Usually heat is
not the primary cause listed on the death certificate
but an “underlying cause”.
The heat waves of the summer of 1995 caused
deaths and injuries previously unseen in the State of
Illinois. Throughout the entire state, the
combination of record or near record high
temperatures and high dewpoint temperatures led to
heat indices routinely above the 120-degree mark
from July 12-17. The heat index peaked at 125
degrees on July 14 when the air temperature was 98
degrees and the relative humidity was 63 degrees.
An approach used by IDPH to identify heat as being responsible for deaths is
to look at “excess deaths”. In 1995, there were roughly 600-700 excess deaths.
IDPH identifies heat as a contributor to the death of 600 to 700 people. These
figures are slightly higher for 1995 than other figures identified in this section.
All of the sources have documented that excessive heat can contribute to
death.
Conditions such as these create hardships for respiratory and cardiovascular systems of every person, but
especially in toddlers and the elderly. The human body is very capable of handling extreme temperatures;
however, when high humidity accompanies these conditions, it is often too much for the body to handle
(the same is true for the human body with cold temperatures when combined with strong winds,
producing dangerous wind chills).

Scattered power outages compounded the problem when Commonwealth Edison, the supplier of
electricity to virtually the entire Chicago metropolitan area, and other electric utilities could not keep up
with the record demand. Of the 583 fatalities associated with the 1995 heat waves, 75 death certificates
listed heat as the primary cause and 508 as the secondary cause. In a sampling of 134 of the heat victims,
61% were over the age of 65, but only 2 of the 134 fatalities (1.5%) were toddlers. Five-hundred four of
the deaths were in Chicago. At the time there was a perception that the numbers were inflated, later
studies indicated the opposite was true and the heat victims were significantly undercounted. Local
officials believed that many of the elderly were scared to come out of their apartments because of high
amounts of crime in their neighborhoods. Many were found in their rooms with air temperatures in
excess of 120 degrees. The City of Chicago has taken a number of steps to mitigate the health hazards in
the event of future heat waves including a program for home visits to check the condition of people
indicated as vulnerable.
In 1999, the entire Midwest
was above normal in
temperature for the month
of July, with the last ten
days consisting of a major
heat wave. As a ten-day
average, both maximum
and minimum temperatures
were 7 to 11 degrees above
normal. The peak of the
heat struck on July 29th
and 30th in most of the
Midwest. Minimums
exceeded 78 degrees in
cities like Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati, where many heat related deaths occurred. The maximum
temperature exceeded 100 degrees in many of these same cities, with most of the Midwest recording
maximums 10 to 20 degrees above normal.
Chicago had previously experienced deadly heat waves in 1955 when “large numbers of deaths” occurred
and in 1916 with 535 deaths. In the 1990's, two significant heat waves impacted Chicago. In the 1995

heat wave, the number of estimated fatalities varies, but most sources agree that the number exceeded
700. Then in 1999, Chicago experienced another heat wave that closely matched the 1995 event but the
death toll was reduced to approximately 100 people. A paper written by Michael Palace and Stanley
Chignon, of the State Water Survey, attribute much of the reduction in deaths to mitigation efforts. The
efforts included education by the news media and care monitoring procedures for the urban elderly. The
September 2005, Chicago All-Hazard Risk Assessment also states the 1999 deaths were lower than 1995
and believed to be the result of the implementation of Chicago’s Extreme Weather Operations Plan.
Risk Characterization
The New York Times article dated August 13, 2002, “Most Deadly of the Natural Disasters: The Heat
Wave” states that heat waves kill more people in the United States than all other natural disasters
combined.” The article goes on to state that a University of Delaware study indicated that 1,500
American city dwellers die each year because of heat compared with 200 from tornadoes, earthquakes and
floods combined.
This natural disaster has long been overlooked because there is no visible damage like in a tornado and its
impact is greatly understated in terms of human toll because not all heat related deaths are recorded. The
current mitigation planning process encourages the state to look at such factors as urbanization, the
elderly, and low income. It is impossible to ignore these factors when analyzing heat waves. According
to historical discussion and the above referenced article, when the Chicago heat wave of July 1995,
occurred “the poor, the old, residents of abandoned and violent neighborhoods who lived alone, lacked
access to transportation and lacked air-conditioning” were the victims.
The time we have until the next heat wave is unknown, but all of the major reports on global warming
indicate that an increase in severe heat waves is likely. Chicago is one of the state’s most vulnerable
areas because of their size and population. Their risk assessment predicts 17.8 days a year where
temperatures breach the 90 degree mark.
Articles all agree that summer heat kills more people than other natural hazards. The National Weather
Service (NWS) indicates that in a normal year the number will be 175 Americans. Other sources project
the number of deaths to be much higher each year. So not only do we not know when heat waves will
strike, we do not have a firm estimate on the number of people who will be impacted.

Impact: Medium/Low
Damage to Buildings
Heat and drought have little or no impact on structures. In urban areas, planting trees to shade
buildings and parking lots and using “green roofs” and cool roofing products to reflect sunlight and
heat away from a building are ways to reduce the buildup of heat from buildings and pavement.
Critical Facilities
Extreme heat and drought can have an impact on water supply. The demand on electric utilities is
elevated.
Health and Safety
Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits. Under normal conditions, the body's internal
thermostat produces perspiration that evaporates and cools the body. However, in extreme heat and
high humidity, evaporation is slowed and the body must work extra hard to maintain a normal
temperature.
Most heat disorders occur because the victim has been overexposed to heat or has over exercised for
his or her age and physical condition. Other conditions that can induce heat-related illnesses include
stagnant atmospheric conditions and poor air quality.
Extreme heat events can be just as deadly as other natural hazards due to the nature of the event.
Extreme heat doesn’t immediately impact people when it sets in, instead it is when the periods of
extreme heat last for days and weeks that it takes its toll on people. The elderly are at particular risk.
Preparedness and mitigation actions for excessive heat are awareness education on the dangers of heat
for the public and assistance to vulnerable populations to protect them from dangerous heat. Alerts
from the National Weather Service (NWS) and text messages from Will County Emergency
Management Agency (WCEMA) bring awareness to the public during periods of excessive heat.
Opening of cooling centers during heat waves provides a respite to those without air conditioning.
Social media and outreach at public events provide the public with educational material on excessive
heat. Databases like WCEMA’s Special Needs population and those of local social services provide a
way to reach out to populations most vulnerable to heat. Additionally, utilities provide assistance for
bill payments and maintaining service when temperatures reach extremes.

Economic Impact
Generally, extreme heat impacts agricultural areas in the state. As described under Drought, local
farmers have resources for education on the effects and methods for preparing for extreme heat.
Future Occurrence
Extreme heat events do not have a specific area or size that is usually associated with them.
Therefore, all areas located within Will County have a probability of being affected by one or more
extreme heat events. The 2013 Illinois Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan rates the extreme heat hazard
for Will County as low.

EARTHQUAKE
Hazard Characterization
The earth’s crust is far from being a motionless mass, but rather, it is in a constant state of flux. A sudden
motion of the ground that causes surface faulting or ground rupture, ground shaking, and ground failure is
the result of an earthquake. The onset of a large earthquake is initially signaled by a deep rumbling or by
disturbed air making a rushing sound. This is shortly followed by a series of violent ground movements.
The ground often splits and there can be large, permanent displacements of the earth. Buildings, bridges,
dams, tunnels, and other rigid structures are damaged or collapse when subjected to this stress.
In addition to structural problems, water in tanks, ponds, and rivers is frequently displaced. In lakes, an
oscillation known as “seiching” occurs in which the water surges from one end of the lake to the other,
causing the water to reach great heights and eventually the lake overflows its banks. Secondary effects
are dam failures, fires, floods, and subsidence. Earthquakes can trigger other types of ground failures
which could contribute to the damage, such as landslides and liquefaction. In the latter situation, shaking
can mix groundwater and soil, liquefying and weakening the ground that supports buildings and severing
utility lines. This is a special problem in floodplains where the water table is relatively high and the soils
are more susceptible to liquefaction.
There are thousands of earthquakes in the U.S. each
year, but most are so small in magnitude that they are
unable to be felt. Historically, the most violent
earthquakes have occurred in the central U.S. The old
flat-lying, intact bedrock of the central United States
behaves as a good “transmitter” of the earthquake’s
energy, and tremors can be felt hundreds of miles
away. By contrast, the young, broken up bedrock of
the West Coast allows the energy to dissipate quickly,
which keeps the effects of the earthquake more
localized.
The New Madrid Fault Zone runs from Cairo, Illinois to Memphis, Tennessee. It is the site of the most
powerful earthquake ever recorded on this continent. An occurrence in this zone has occurred every 150
378

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 138
Will County
to 200 years; thus, it is likely that there will be another major earthquake within the next ten to twenty
years. Should an earthquake occur in the New Madrid Fault Zone, Will County would be affected
indirectly. The possibility of cracking could occur in plaster and chimneys of older buildings, and transit
service would be delayed from the southern portion of the state.
The Sandwich Fault Zone is located in the highly populated northern part of Illinois. It is a narrow belt of
high-angle faults that runs from Oregon, Illinois, southeast past Manhattan, Illinois. Knowledge of
bedrock geology in this area has been applied in land-use planning. An understanding of the fault zone
and associated geologic structures is important in evaluating the potential for underground disposal of
waste materials and for underground storage and pipeline transportation of gas and liquid petroleum
products. Also, the knowledge can be used to determine the suitability of sites for construction of major
buildings, such as nuclear power plants.
Magnitude and intensity are terms used to describe the severity of an earthquake, but they do not mean
the same thing. Magnitude is a measure of the seismic energy released from the earthquake. It is
calculated from measurements of the ground vibrations recorded by seismographs. Earthquake
magnitudes are reported in logarithmic increments. This means that a magnitude 7 earthquake has about

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 139
32 times greater energy than a 6 and an increase of 0.2 means twice the energy is released. The Richter
Scale is one of several variations of magnitude that are reported, each using a different formula to
calculate the magnitude from the recorded vibrations (Bolt, 1993).
Earthquakes in Illinois originate within the crust at
depths of 1 to 20 km. The vibrations move out away
from the point of origin (hypocenter or focus) through
the bedrock and then up through the overlying soils on
top of the bedrock. In the central part of the U.S., the
bedrock is flat-lying, old, intact, and strong.
Earthquake vibrations travel very far through material
such as this in comparison to the young, broken, weak
bedrock of the west coast. Because of this difference in
bedrock, Central U.S. earthquakes are felt and cause
damage over an area 15 to 20 times larger than
California earthquakes with similar magnitudes.
Intensity is a description of the effects brought about by
an earthquake, using the observations of people in the
area affected. Intensities are based on descriptive
reports, rather than calculated from instrument
readings. In general, intensities decrease at greater
distances from an epicenter. Intensities are influenced
by the soils resting on bedrock. Thick, loose, saturated
soils such as in river valleys may amplify earthquake ground motions and thus have higher intensities
reported than just outside of the valley. Several formal intensity scales have been proposed for use in
different parts of the world. In the U.S., earthquake intensities are reported using the twelve-point
Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale increasing from barely detectable to catastrophic. For any earthquake,
there will be multiple intensities, depending on the location of observers - but only one magnitude.

History
Records of earthquakes having epicenters in Illinois go
back to January 8, 1795. This mild earthquake was
centered near Fort Kaskaskia along the Mississippi
River. About one earthquake a year occurs in Illinois
and only nine of these were strong enough to cause
minor damage. The largest recorded earthquake in
Illinois occurred November 9, 1968 and measured 5.4
on the Richter Scale. Another earthquake near Olney,
IL measuring a magnitude of 5.0 occurred on June 10,
1987, and was the last damaging earthquake in Illinois.
In the United States, the most frequent reports of earthquakes come from the West coast, but the largest
earthquakes in the lower 48 states occurred in Missouri in 1811 and 1812 along the New Madrid Faults.
The Great New Madrid Earthquakes are the benchmarks from which all earthquakes in the Midwest are

measured. An important fact is that the earthquakes of 1811 and 1812 were not single events. Rather the
earthquakes were a series of over 2,000 shocks in five months.
Six of these quakes were larger than a magnitude of 7 on the Richter scale and two were near magnitude
8. They totally destroyed the town of New Madrid and caused the land to roll in visible waves. They
raised and sank the land as much as 20 feet. The tremors of these earthquakes were no doubt felt
throughout all of Illinois, since the quakes are said to have rung church bells in New England.
Northern Illinois: Fire in Aurora occurred in northern Illinois on May 26, 1909. The exact location of
the magnitude 5.1 (estimated) earthquake is not known, but the largest intensities occurred in and near
Aurora where many chimneys fell, a stove overturned, gas lines broke, and a fire started. Although
considerable excitement ensued, the Aurora fire was quickly extinguished and soon forgotten. It was felt
over 500,000 square miles, buildings swayed in Chicago where there was fear that the walls would
collapse, houses were jostled out of plumb in Beloit, Wisconsin, and brick walls cracked as far away as
Bloomington.
A somewhat smaller
earthquake occurred
nearby in 1912. A
magnitude 4.0 earthquake
centered in north-central
Illinois south of
Rockford, near the village
of Amboy, woke many
Chicago area residents
when it struck late at
night on September 15,
1972. It was felt over a
very large area, but the intensity was much smaller than in the 1909 earthquake.
Twenty-seven years later on September 2, 1999, a magnitude 3.5 earthquake occurred at nearly the same
location as the 1972 earthquake. The greatest intensities were several miles northwest of the epicenter as

located by regional seismographs. This same area also experienced a 4.2 magnitude event on June 28,
2004, which was felt in six states.
Many of the Illinois earthquakes have very small magnitudes, 2 to 4, that do not cause much damage, but
are felt over large areas. Earthquakes occur throughout the state with most in the southern third of the
state. Eight percent have occurred in the northern part of the state. Sixteen events have been recorded in
Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties since 1804. A 3.8 magnitude earthquake struck on
February 10, 2010, about 2 miles northwest of Lily Lake in Kane County. This earthquake was located
about 6 miles below the ground surface deep down within the granite.

Risk Characterization
Very few of the earthquakes in Illinois during the last two centuries have caused any damage (Modified
Mercalli Intensity of VI or higher) or injuries. Larger earthquakes in the New Madrid region have caused
more damage in Illinois. The risk of probable damage from future earthquakes can be estimated based on
the historical record of past earthquakes. The USGS has created maps for building codes in areas of the
largest probable ground shaking that have a low probability of being exceeded over a 50 year period.
They have plotted information as numerical values of ground shaking or accelerations. These values can
be converted to Modified Mercalli Intensities. These USGS maps only show the estimate of shaking on
the top of bedrock. Shaking will be modified by the overlying soils.
For most of Illinois, the risk is dominated by the possibility of large earthquakes recurring in the New
Madrid Seismic Zone, south of Illinois. In this scenario, the maximum accelerations in the southern-most
counties of Illinois exceed 60 percent of gravity, or Modified Mercalli Intensity X. Although the risk
decreases to the north, there is a 2% probability during the next 50 years that accelerations greater than 10
percent of gravity, Modified Mercalli Intensity VII, could be exceeded in any of the southern half of
Illinois. Because of the current record of minor to moderate earthquakes in northern Illinois, occurring
west of Chicago, the risk of damaging earthquake motions increases in the western suburbs of Chicago.
But if magnitude 4 to 5 earthquakes occur near or South of Chicago, as early events have been located,
damage could occur to weak, old structures throughout parts of the city.
Earthquakes create numerous risks in people’s homes. People can lessen the severity of earthquake
damage by identifying hazards that exist in their homes, schools, or places of business and then
systematically removing or correcting each hazard. This is especially important in the southernmost
counties of Illinois where the earthquake risks are the greatest. Some common hazards include: free
standing water heaters, stoves, and other gas or electric appliances which could move or fall during an
earthquake; bookshelves or filing cabinets which are free standing or bookshelves with objects stored
above head level; water or gas pipes which are not fastened well to walls or ceiling, and large panes of
glass which could fracture and fly apart.
Some other things that people can do to make their homes more earthquake ready include: keeping a few
days supply of food and water available; being sure each home has a fire extinguisher and smoke alarm;
maintaining a properly equipped first aid kit complete with any necessary prescription medication in
sufficient quantities to last a few days to a few weeks; organizing and testing a family emergency plan
384

which would help ensure each family member’s survival; and having residents know how to turn off the
gas supply to a building.
Should you be involved in an earthquake, remembering a few simple facts can greatly increase your
chance of survival and can help to reduce the possibility of serious injury. If inside a building, stay inside
and duck, cover, and hold. Protection inside a building is found next to or under heavy furniture. Do not
run outside of a building during the shaking. Falling parts (bricks and glass) of buildings can kill or
injure you. Rooms with lots of fixtures (hanging lights within a dropped ceiling) can be dangerous if they
fall. Large windows or groups of windows can shatter and shards of glass can fly inward. These areas
should be avoided. Large rooms with open-span ceilings or roofs are the most vulnerable to collapse and
should be avoided.
For over 20 years, IEMA
has been involved in the
Central United States
Earthquake Consortium
(CUSEC). During most
of these years, an
earthquake planner has
been employed by
IEMA. Part of their
duties is to promote
earthquake safety
awareness. As discussed
previously, there are steps individuals can take to make their surroundings more secure during an
earthquake which have extensively been promoted. Also, there are earthquake resistant building
techniques which can be incorporated into building construction. Unfortunately, the State of Illinois does
not have a standard uniform building code. Each jurisdiction adopts and enforces the building code they
chose. IEMA has worked to make southern Illinois aware of the earthquake risk and encouraged
earthquake resistant construction in new buildings. All new schools built with state funds must comply
with the 2007 International Building Code.

A preparedness program called The Great Central Shakeout began in 2014 designed to educate the public
about how to protect themselves during a large earthquake and how to prepare. The 2014 drill spanned
eleven states and included more than 2.7 million participants. The drill is held in October throughout
Illinois along with other Great Shake Out regions across the U.S. Information on this program is
available from: https://www.shakeout.org/centralus/index.html
Damage to Buildings
Damage to buildings, highways, power lines, pipelines and other structures only partly depend on the
amount of energy released during the earthquake. Certain kinds of earth materials resting on the
bedrock amplify the earthquake ground motions. In Illinois, structures built on thick, loose sediments
of river floodplains are more likely to be damaged than structures on glacial till (stiff, pebbly clay) or
bedrock. In fact, seismic intensity may increase one or more units on the Modified Mercalli Intensity
Scale if loose sediments are present. Also, loose sandy sediments with high moisture content can turn
to liquid, quick sand type state - (liquefaction), when shaken enough.
Generally, wood frame buildings and structures on solid ground fare best during an earthquake.
Wood frame buildings are flexible enough to withstand ground shaking and swaying. Evaluations of
recent earthquakes found that damage was primarily caused to:
Un-reinforced masonry structures
Older buildings with some degree of deterioration
Buildings without foundation ties
Multi-story structures with open or “soft” first floors
Typical minor damage (Modified Mercalli Intensity VI to VII) from Lawrenceville, Illinois M 5.0 earthquake.
Bricks thrown from Chimney and diagonal masonry cracks in church tower.

At risk in Will County, given the low threat of an earthquake at a Mercalli Intensity of VII or greater,
are un-reinforced masonry structures. Most of these structures can be considered to be historical
masonry buildings, built before current building codes. To strengthen structures and minimize
damage, communities can adopt the International Building Coe (IBC) and International Residential
Code (IRC)
Other areas of potential damage include transportation systems: bridges, pavement cracks or buckles,
and misalignment or fissures of rail lines. Utilities could be impacted by downed power and
communication lines, breaks in water and sanitary sewer lines, and cracking or breaking of natural
gas pipelines. Cracks in dams or levees could
cause failure.
Impact: Low
Critical Facilities
The overall earthquake damage to critical
facilities is low.
Health and Safety
While injury and loss of life are important
factors in other parts of Illinois when assessing
earthquakes, they are of low concern for Will
County. During an earthquake, injuries are
expected to be few; however falling debris or
fires could be a threat. Should a major
earthquake impact southern Illinois, there
exists the potential for damage to natural gas
pipelines. This would be of greatest concern in the winter in northeastern Illinois.
Overall, the impact to health and safely is considered to be low. There are important things people
should know what to do should an earthquake occur.
Prepare your home by anchoring free standing objects like appliances, bookcases, cabinets,
water heaters, overhead storage, etc.
Have your emergency kit ready with food, water, medications, and a first aid kit

Economic Impact
If any damage was sustained to businesses and infrastructure, the impact of an earthquake would be
on the local economy. Public expenditures for repairs to public facilities and clean-up and disposal of
debris can be high, especially if the structures are not insured for earthquakes. The overall expected
economic impact is considered to be low.
Future Occurrence
The 2018 Illinois Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan rates the earthquake hazard for Will County as
low.
STATE-WIDE ESTIMATE WITH DEFAULT DATA
The Federal Emergency Management Agency sponsored HAZUS (Hazards US) computer loss
estimation program comes with default data of building and some infrastructure inventory from
various sources including the 2000 census. It uses one type of soil for the entire area. Soils
modify the earthquake ground motions that travel through the bedrock and typically amplify the
ground motions, increasing shaking at the ground surface as compared to the shaking on the
bedrock. The default building inventory contains numbers of structures by construction type per
census track and replacement costs for structures are based on an average cost per square foot for
2002. It contains an inventory of essential facilities such as: hospitals, medical clinics, schools,
fire stations, police stations and emergency operations facilities and high potential loss facilities
such as: dams, levees, military installations, nuclear power plants and hazardous material sites.
State-Wide Damage for Magnitude 6.3 New Madrid Event
HAZUS estimates that 4,453 buildings will sustain at least moderate damage and of those
1,689 will be completely damaged. No essential facilities are expected to be completely
damaged and a large percentage will be functional on the day of the event. It is estimated
6,321 households will be without potable water and 3,964 without electricity on the day of
the event. Eight of the 22,854 bridges in Illinois are expected to be completely damaged

along with two ferry facilities. Debris generated is estimated to be 219,000 tons. Displaced
households are 1,882 with 556 requiring shelter. There are 540 casualties and a total direct
economic impact of about $920 million.
State-Wide Damage for Magnitude 7.7 New Madrid Event
HAZUS estimates that 75,272 buildings will sustain at least moderate damage and of those
19,044 will be completely damaged. Forty-two essential facilities are expected to be
completely damaged including two hospitals and many facilities will need a few days to a
month to recover to functionality. It is estimated 100,483 households will be without potable
water and 25,191 without electricity on the day of the event. Sixty-two of the 22,854 bridges
in Illinois are expected to be completely damaged along with two ferry facilities and one
airport. Debris generated is estimated to be 3,377,000 tons. Displaced households are 22,468
with 6,556 requiring shelter. There are 7,629 casualties and a total direct economic impact of
about $9 billion.

DROUGHT
Hazard Characterization
The basic cause of drought in Will County and the surrounding counties is a prolonged deficiency of
rainfall that can happen any time of the year. The effects of the drought vary in different areas due to
such factors as unequal distribution of rainfall, differences in topography and soil, the erratic distribution
of drainage features, and the continuing change in the underlying bedrock geology throughout Will
County. In certain locations, man’s erratic development, alteration, and misuse of natural resources will
significantly affect the severity of the drought. Drought devastates crops resulting in low yields and
economic losses. Winds blow away topsoil and create dust storms further eroding farm land. Water
tables are lowered. Forests and grasslands are susceptible to fire.
A drought is defined as the cumulative deficit of precipitation relative to what is normal for a region over
an extended period of time. Unlike other natural hazards, a drought is a non-event that evolves as a
prolonged dry spell. Droughts occur when a long period passes without substantial rainfall. A heat wave
combined with a drought is a very dangerous situation. When a drought begins or ends may be difficult
to determine. A drought can be short, lasting just a few months, or persist for years before climatic
conditions return to normal. There are four commonly used operational definitions:
Meteorological Drought: A period of well-below-average precipitation that spans from a
few months to a few years.
Agricultural Drought: A period when soil moisture is inadequate to meet the demands for
crops to initiate and sustain plant growth.
Hydrological Drought: A period of below-average streamflow and/or depleted reservoir
storage (i.e., streamflow, reservoir and lake levels, ground
water).
Economic Drought: This definition deals with the supply and demand of water. Some
years there is an ample supply of water and in other years there is
not enough to meet human and environmental needs.

While drought conditions can occur at any time throughout the year, the most apparent time is during the
summer months. High temperatures, prolonged high winds, and low relative humidity can aggravate
drought conditions. Because the impacts of a drought accumulate slowly at first, a drought may not be
recognized until it has become well established. The many aspects of drought reflect its varied impacts
on people and the environment. While the impacts of precipitation deficit may be extensive, it is the
deficit, not the impacts, that defines a meteorological drought.
Drought causes losses to agriculture; affects domestic water supply, energy production, public health, and
wildlife; and contributes to wildfire, to name a few of its effects.
Primary Effects
Crop failure is the most apparent effect of drought in that it has a direct impact on the
economy and, in many cases, health (nutrition) of the population that is affected by it. Due
to a lack of water and moisture in the soil, many crops will not produce normally or
efficiently and, often, may be lost entirely.
Water shortage is a very serious effect of drought in that the availability of potable water is
severely decreased when drought conditions persist. Springs, wells, streams, and reservoirs
have been known to run dry due to the decrease in ground water, and, in extreme cases,
navigable rivers have become unsafe for navigation as a result of drought.
Secondary Effects
Fire susceptibility is increased with the absence of moisture associated with a drought. Dry
conditions have been known to promote the occurrence of widespread wildfires.
Energy demands increase during periods of high heat.
Tertiary Effects
Environmental degradation in the forms of erosion and ecological damage can be seen in
cases of drought. As moisture in topsoil decreases and the ground becomes dryer, the
susceptibility to windblown erosion increases. In prolonged drought situations, forest root
systems can be damaged and/or destroyed resulting in loss of habitat for certain species. In
addition, prolonged drought conditions may result in loss of food sources for certain species.

In prolonged drought situations the soil surrounding structures subsides, sometimes creating
cracks in foundations and separation of foundations from above ground portions of the
structure.
The Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) is an attempt to compare weekly temperature and
precipitation readings over a defined climatic region in order to identify periods of abnormally dry (or
wet) weather. These PDSI readings reflect the relative disparity between moisture supply (precipitation
and soil moisture) and demand (evapotranspiration, soil recharge and runoff needs) for a particular region
based upon what is considered normal for the area. The index is used to evaluate scope, severity, and
duration of abnormal weather. Southern Illinois is generally
more vulnerable to drought due to having soils that hold less
water.
The PDSI is an important climatological tool for evaluating the
scope, severity, and frequency of prolonged periods of
abnormally dry or wet weather. It can be used to help delineate
disaster areas and indicate the availability of irrigation water
supplies, reservoir levels, range conditions, amount of stock
water, and potential intensity of forest fires.
Droughts occur when a long period passes without substantial
rainfall. A prolonged drought, such as the drought that
remained in the Midwest from 1987 to 1991, can have a serious economic impact on a community.
Increased demand for water and electricity may result in shortages of resources. Moreover, food
shortages may occur if agricultural production is damaged or destroyed by a loss of crops or livestock.
The National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
jointly produce the Drought Monitor. Drought Monitor assesses drought conditions weekly, based on
how much precipitation did or did not fall and shows the parts of the U.S. that are in drought. It is unique
in that it is not a statistical model, although numeric inputs come from many sources:
Palmer Drought Severity Index,
Standardized Precipitation Index, and other climatological inputs;

Keech-Byram Drought Index for fire, satellite-based assessments of vegetation health, and
various indicators of soil moisture and;
Hydrologic data, particularly in the West, such as the Surface Water Supply Index and
snowpack.
Unlike most of the weather maps people see in the news, the U.S. Drought Monitor is not a forecast. It
looks backward and provides an assessment of drought conditions of the past week. It is available from:
https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/.
Drought is defined as a moisture deficit bad enough to have social, environmental or economic effects.
The U.S. Drought Monitor provides a consistent big-picture look at drought conditions in the United
States and is not meant to infer specifics about local conditions. The Drought Monitor map identifies
areas of drought and labels them by intensity.
D1 is the least intense level
D4 the most intense.
D0 areas are not in drought, but are experiencing abnormally dry conditions that could turn into
drought or are recovering from drought but are not yet back to normal.

No two states experience the same set of impacts during a drought. Tables have been developed with
drought impacts that have been reported in each state, for each U.S Drought Monitor (USDM) category,
during the onset of a major drought. This supplements and enhances the general nationwide information
in the “Possible Impacts” column of the U.S. Drought Monitor Classification Scheme, describing what
impacts may be associated with each level of drought.

History
One-month precipitation deficits on a statewide or regional basis do not usually constitute droughts,
although there may be significant impacts on agriculture depending on the time in the growing season and
on soil moisture conditions. Agricultural and hydrologic droughts have different lag times in relation to
the timing of precipitation, and their intensities do not correlate exactly with one another.
Agricultural droughts typically trigger the availability of several
USDA emergency assistance programs from the Farmers Home
Administration (loans), Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation
Service (disaster assistance payments), Natural Resource
Conservation Service (formerly SCS, for technical assistance), and
Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (loss claims). In September
1983, all 102 counties were proclaimed state disaster areas because of
high temperatures and insufficient precipitation beginning in mid-
June. More recently in 1988, 54 percent of the state was impacted by
drought-like conditions, resulting in disaster relief payments to
landowners and farmers exceeding $382 million, but no state
proclamations.
Both the timing and amount of precipitation are responsible for the
occurrence of a drought. The mean annual precipitation in Illinois
varies from 34 inches in Northern Illinois to 46 inches in the South.
Annual amounts fluctuate primarily within a 10-inch range of the
median. The most severe drought in recent years was 1988, when rainfall was 88 percent of normal. The
timing or distribution was also abnormal because 1988 saw less than 50 percent of the April through
August normal rainfall. Droughts of this magnitude occur about once every 21 years.
A smaller drought occurred in the northern two-thirds of the state (NWS zones 1-10). Although it only
lasted through the month of May 1992, Chicago, Moline, and Rockford recorded the driest May on record
and Springfield and Peoria their second driest.
Precipitation of less than 88 percent of normal also occurred in all of Illinois in September of 1994,
Northwestern Illinois in December of 1994, the northern half of the state in February of 1995, all of the

state in March, and the northern half again in June of 1995. However, even though precipitation values
were below average, none of these were considered drought-like conditions officially.
Precipitation values from 54 to 65 percent of normal for the months of February and April of 1996, in
northwest and central portions of the state would technically put those areas into the 3-month or 6-month
precipitation drought categories. However, above average precipitation in May reversed all drought
impacts.
A severe drought
struck Illinois in 2005-
2006, especially in the
northern half of the
state. Dry conditions
in 2005 reached a
historic level of
severity in some parts
of Illinois and ranked
as one of the three
most severe droughts
in Illinois in 112 years
of records. The timing of the dryness during the spring and summer, when water demand and use are
high, ensured substantial impacts on agriculture and other sectors. The drought also had several unusual
characteristics. The drought area was long and narrow, extending from south Texas to the Great Lakes.
But within the Midwest, the drought had relatively minor impact on states other than Illinois. A record
number of remnants of hurricanes and tropical storms passed through Illinois during July, August and
September, substantially ameliorating drought conditions in portions of central and southern Illinois.
Crop yields were surprisingly high in parts of the state, perhaps providing evidence of increased drought
resistance in modern varieties and the benefits of timely rains.

Risk Characterization
All areas in the United States are at risk of drought at any time of the year. The following paragraph was
provided by Jim Angel, former State Climatologist at the Illinois State Water Survey, to explain the
Illinois Hazard Rating Drought Map.
“One of the obstacles to an objective and reasoned reaction to drought in Illinois is uncertainty
over its definition. One way of measuring drought is through the Palmer Drought Severity Index
(PDSI), which takes into account both temperature and precipitation in determining the severity
of drought. Historically, the 1930s and 1950s were periods when drought was most frequent and
troublesome in Illinois. More recently, the 1988 drought was severe but short-lived, lasting from
June to October of that year. Based on the PDSI, the risk of drought has historically been evenly
distributed across the state. This is not surprising since drought is partially the result of changes
in the large-scale circulation patterns of the atmosphere, for example, the location of a high-
pressure dome over the Midwest in summer. Historically, moderate to severe drought occurs
about 17% of the time in Illinois. However, Southern Illinois is generally more vulnerable to
drought due to soils that hold less water and water supplies that are more likely to rely on shallow
groundwater and surface water.”
Impact: Low
Damage to Buildings
Heat and drought have little or no impact on structures. The impact on buildings is low. Since
impact is low, the vulnerability of extreme heat and drought has not been calculated.
Critical Facilities
The impact of extreme heat and drought to critical facilities is low. Though extreme heat and drought
can have an impact on water supply. The demand on electric utilities is elevated. Preparedness and
mitigation actions should include education of the public on water saving techniques that include
installing low flow water faucets, showerheads, and toilets. Repairing plumbing leaks, reducing the
amount of water used by running full dishwasher and washing machine loads, and utilizing rain-
capturing devices for irrigation.

2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 157
Health and Safety
Will County, like most areas of the Midwest, is very vulnerable to extreme heat. Stagnant
atmospheric (humid and muggy) conditions and poor air quality can induce heat-related illnesses.
Urban areas are exposed more acutely to the dangers of extreme heat due to heat being retained in
asphalt and concrete and being released at night. In addition to air quality, concrete and asphalt store
heat longer and gradually release the heat at night which produces higher nighttime temperatures,
allowing little relief.
Young children; the elderly; those who are sick, overweight or have alcohol problems; and men in
general (because they sweat more and become more quickly dehydrated) are more susceptible to
extreme heat. Usually the victims have been overexposed to heat or have over-exercised for their age
and physical condition. People are at risk for heat stroke or sun stroke, heat exhaustion, and
dehydration. Impact on people is high.
Economic Impact
A heat wave combined with a drought creates
a very dangerous environment. Also, a
prolonged drought, such as the drought that
plagued the Midwest from 1987 to 1991, can
have a serious economic impact on a
community. Increased demand for water and
electricity may result in shortages of resources.
Both of these can be supplied in the
municipalities with no economic disruption.
In rural areas and villages where water is
drawn from shallow wells, rationing or lawn
watering bans may be needed. Moreover, food
shortages may occur if agricultural production
is damaged or destroyed by a loss of crops or
livestock.
398
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 158
Part of a preparedness and mitigation strategy would be to encourage farmers to implement soil and
water conservation practices that promote resiliency by ensuring the health and quality of the soil.
Conservation practices include rotation of crops, contour farming, the planting of cover crops, and
zero or reduced tillage. Also, there is the availability of crop insurance to cover losses due to drought.
Will County farmers have the support of education and data on drought, heat, and erosion issues
through the Will County Farm Bureau, Will/South Cook Soil and Water Conservation District
(SWCD), and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
There are no available figures on the cost of drought or heat to Will County. The 1988 drought/heat
wave resulted in $382 million in disaster relief payments to landowners and farmers throughout the
state. While not the major industry as in the past, agriculture is still important to the county’s
economy. A severe drought would have a ripple effect on other sectors, especially in the rural areas.
Future Occurrences
Per IEMA, all counties within the state are affected by drought to some degree and are considered at
risk for damages. From 1990 to 2017, the state estimated the annual statewide losses to be
approximately $72 million dollars. The 2004 Illinois Hazard Mitigation Plan estimated that the
frequency of droughts in the state “occurs about once every 21 years.” Extreme heat events have
occurred more frequently in Will County.
The 2018 Illinois Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan rates Will County’s future risk of drought as low.
Using NCEI data, the state developed loss estimates for each county within the state and the
following figure provides the result of this analysis for Will County.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL – FIXED SITE and TRANSPORTATION
Hazard Characterization
Will County has many oil refineries, chemical manufacturers, and other businesses that use hazardous
materials in their processing. A dozen facilities are listed on the State Hazardous Sites list. Over three
hundred facilities are Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulated and are required to report to the
EPA the storage and releases of specific chemicals. This reporting system is guided by the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 and provides information for hazardous
and toxic chemicals.
EPCRA establishes requirements for federal, state and local governments, Indian tribes, and industry
regarding emergency planning and “Community Right-to-Know” reporting on hazardous and toxic
chemicals. The Community Right-to-Know provisions help increase the public’s knowledge and access
to information on chemicals at individual facilities, their uses, and releases into the environment. States
and communities, working with facilities, may use the information to improve chemical safety and protect
public health and the environment. EPCRA has four major provisions:
Emergency planning (sections
301-303)
Emergency release notification
(section 304)
Hazardous chemical storage
reporting requirements
(sections 311-312)
Toxic chemical release
inventory (section 313)
Releases of hazardous or toxic
chemicals must be reported which
include emission of gases, wastewater
releases into rivers and other bodies of water, solid waste disposal in landfills, injection of wastes into
underground wells, transfer of wastewaters to public sewage plants, and transfer of wastes to off-site
facilities for treatment or storage.

The chemicals and materials that these facilities use have a wide range of toxicity. A small release of
many of these chemicals may have little effect on the surrounding environment; however, the release of
some chemicals or radioactive materials could have long lasting effects on the environment and injure or
kill many people in the affected area. The hazard from these chemicals can be explosive, flammable,
combustible, corrosive, reactive, poisonous, toxic, a biological agent, or radioactive.
Hazardous materials can be spilled or released during the manufacturing or refining process or they can
be spilled during transportation to or from these facilities as raw elements or processed goods.
Radioactive materials used in medicine and industry are included along with the nuclear sites located in
Braidwood and nearby Grundy County. Thousands of hazardous materials are shipped on a daily basis
through the county’s local communities by all modes of transportation. With the intermodal systems in
place in Will County, hazardous chemicals are transported by rail, highway, pipeline, and waterway on a
daily basis. Crude oil rail shipments average two to fourteen unit trains (unit trains = minimum of three
car loads) per week transiting Will County. An accident within any of these transportation systems could
cause an emergency affecting many people.
Hazardous materials include corrosives, flammables, toxic materials, radioactive substances, explosives,
dangerous gases, and poisons. Accidents may affect the immediate vicinity of the accident site or spread
to involve a portion of the surrounding community. These types of accidents can usually be handled
effectively by local emergency services. Large-scale accidents that involve a widespread release of a
toxic substance may have severe implications for the surrounding environment and population.

Statistically, most hazardous material accidents are caused by some type of human error and rarely by
mechanical failure of the facility or carrying vessel.
History
Numerous spills have occurred along the county’s highway and railway systems. Most involve the spill
of diesel fuel, but others have involved corrosive and flammable liquids.
On December 12, 2004, two-thousand gallons of diesel fuel were spilled in Joliet along the BNSF
railroad.
A spill on July 19, 2001, involved 13,000 gallons of Nalkylene 540 L detergent Alkylate on the
Des Plaines River near Channahon.
On July 2, 1999, 12,000 lb. of an oil/water mix was dispersed near Channahon affecting 7,500
people, 2,500 homes, and area crops.
Risk Characterization
Hazardous material incidents are intentional and/or unintentional releases of a hazardous material. Each
incident’s impact and resulting response depends on many variables that include the quantity and specific
characteristics of the material, the conditions of the release, the weather conditions in the area of the
release, and the area/population centers involved. The effects of the spill could be limited to the incident
site or quickly spread by wind or water for many miles.
Hazardous material site control and clean-up is a highly technical and expensive process requiring
specialized training and equipment. Local fire districts have some limited ability to deal with hazardous
material, but area chemical facilities and the Will County EMA also have HAZMAT teams who are
specially trained to deal with such incidents.

Will County EMA’s Hazardous Materials Team is composed of volunteers who are certified in hazardous
material response and mitigation for leaks, spills, and fires. The team is composed of Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and Illinois
Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) certified personnel from the fire service, industry, and
emergency management. The team is trained to the specialist level and supported by industrial
hygienists. The team provides emergency mitigation containment and control of all types of hazardous
material.
Will County has a diverse mix of manufacturing and agricultural entities. Both types of entities deal with
chemicals that can have hazardous effects. In addition, the agricultural economy can be affected when
hazardous chemicals are dispersed by the wind over farm fields or livestock. Spills and releases are
usually random, but are minimized with regular inspections and maintenance, good housekeeping,
effective emergency plans, readily available fire suppression equipment, proper warning labels, the use of
appropriate containers and storage, and training in proper safety and handling procedures.
Will County has a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) composed of representatives from the
following groups or organizations: state and local officials, local environmental groups, law enforcement,
hospital, local government EMA, transportation, fire-fighting, broadcast and print media, first aid or
emergency medical services, community groups, health, and, owners and operators of facilities subject to
Section 620.90 of the State of Illinois EPCRA Rule. The Will County Local Emergency Planning
Committee (LEPC) was formed in April, 1987 under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act of 1986. The law revised and expanded the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). The LEPC’s purpose is to support the entities in meeting reporting
and planning requirements of EPCRA as well as provide information to the public.
Supporting the county’s education, planning, response, and recovery is the Illinois Emergency
Management Agency’s (IEMA) State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) which promotes
chemical emergency preparedness and prevention throughout the State of Illinois. The Illinois
Department of Public Health (IDPH) provides support through investigation and testing by their
Epidemiology and Environmental Health Protection units.

Impact: High
Damage to Buildings
Damage can result from contamination, but in most cases damage or destruction occurs from fire or
explosion.
Critical Facilities
Critical infrastructures can be damaged or destroyed by fire or explosion. Water supplies can be
contaminated when hazardous chemicals enter the water system or aquifers.
Health and Safety
Health problems may be immediate, such as skin burns, eye and lung irritation, or delayed, such as
cancer and genetic damage. Environmental concerns include contamination of drinking water,
waterways, air, soil/farm land, vegetation, wildlife, and structures.
Economic Impact
Chemicals released into the environment contaminating soil, ground or surface water, buildings, and
crops or affecting the health of the area population can prove costly to contain, remediate, and
cleanup to acceptable standards. Cleanup bills, legal liabilities, and frustration for affected property
owners are some of problems commonly associated with spills. When the responsible party for the spill
cannot be identified, it can leave the local and state government in charge of protecting the public and
financing the clean-up process.
Future Occurrence
As the county continues to grow and attract more industrial and manufacturing companies,
warehousing, and intermodal transport, the potential for future hazardous material spills and release
will also grow.

FIRE
Hazard Characterization
Fire is any occurrence of uncontrolled burning which results in major structural damage to residential,
commercial, industrial, institutional, or other types of property. In urban areas where buildings are set
close together, fire can jump from one building to another, resulting in major conflagration. Embers from
these fires can travel by wind to the roofs of other structures setting off secondary fires. Fire can also
damage forests and grassy areas.
Fire at an industrial site may involve flammable or hazardous materials. Fire may ensue at a gasoline
service station or from a damaged pipeline. Fire may cause serious explosions. It can have a major
environmental impact from the release of hazardous materials into the air, drainage systems, soil, or
adjacent buildings during the fire or while it is being extinguished. Along with property damage, it is a
hazard to the county’s community causing injury or death to occupants and responders. It can also
damage utilities or force evacuation of the affected area.
History
Numerous fires have occurred in the history of Will County. Major occurrences include:

Risk Characterization
A fire or explosion may occur at any time with no warning. Urban fires
may result in very costly damages. Urban communities with newer
industrial and business facilities are reasonably secure from potential
conflagration. These buildings are generally constructed of fire resistive
materials, protected with automatic sprinkler systems, equipped with fire
extinguishing and fire detection systems, and reasonably well separated. However, there is always the
risk of accidents, equipment failure, hazardous materials explosions, secondary fires caused by other
hazards, or intentionally set fires.

Older facilities and homes are one potential source of fire hazard. These structures may not meet the
standards of current building codes that prevent fires. The wiring, heating/cooling systems, and
appliances may be in need of repair or replacement which could cause a fire. The facility may not have
smoke alarms that would alert occupants to a fire outbreak or lack fire extinguishers to put out small fires.
Regular maintenance and repair of all facilities helps to avoid fire hazards.

Will County has become a hub for intermodal transportation and warehousing. This could potentially
raise the risk of fire resulting from transportation accidents, spills and improper storage of hazardous
materials, improper training or mishandling of materials and equipment, insufficient or misuse of safety
equipment, poorly maintained facilities, etc. Thus, it is important that building codes be strictly enforced
during the construction of these facilities and preventative measures be implemented by the owners to
prevent fires from happening.
Prevention is a solution to reduce destructive fires. It is incumbent upon each citizen to prepare and
practice fire safety. Good public education programs on fire safety, fire alarms, and fire response are
important prevention measures.
Safety tips:
Install and maintain smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and sprinklers (commercial facilities)
Create and practice an evacuation strategy
Practice good housekeeping and properly store and dispose of hazardous materials
Eliminate electrical hazards
Schedule routine equipment maintenance
Establish designated smoking areas far away from building
Train employees how to property operate machinery and safely store and dispose of hazardous
materials
Conduct routine fire drills
Post clear exits and escape routes
Impact: High
Damage to Buildings
Fires cause serious damage or destruction to buildings.

Health and Safety
Fires cause serious burns, injuries, smoke inhalation, and death to individuals inside burning
buildings, first responders, and area population when hazardous chemicals are released into the
atmosphere as a result of fire or explosion.
Fire can have a major impact on the environment and may require costly cleanup
Economic Impact
Injury, loss of property, and business interruption can have devastating economic impact to
individuals, businesses, industry, and populations served by affected businesses and infrastructure.
There may or may not be insurance to cover the cost of structure repair or replacement, injuries, or
lost business.
Future Occurrence
The risk of fire is always a potential but can be mitigated with fire safety practices, fire detection
systems, fire suppression equipment, and fire resistive materials. New facilities must meet building
codes which are implemented to reduce fire risk for the protection of people and property.

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ACCIDENT
Hazard Characterization
There are two nuclear power plants, the Braidwood Nuclear Power Station and Dresden Nuclear
Generating Station that have direct effect on the population of Will County. The areas of risk associated
with these facilities are the potential plume’s emergency planning zone that encompasses a ten-mile
radius of the facility and the ingestion emergency planning zone that encompasses a fifty-mile radius.
Because of the danger of exposure from radioactive materials, these plants are sited away from major
population centers and are designed with safety systems and back-up safety systems. Nuclear plants are
required to have an emergency radiological response plan in effect.
Braidwood Generating Station
Exelon's newest nuclear power station is located in northeastern Illinois, approximately 20 miles
southwest of Joliet and about 60 miles southwest of Chicago in Will County. The station is built on a
4,457-acre site, and its cooling lake was formed from scarred farming land and an old strip mine. It’s
Units 1 and 2 began commercial operation in July and October of 1988, respectively. The initial
construction cost for the
station was $5.2 billion.
Both of Braidwood's units are
pressurized water reactors
designed by Westinghouse.
Each unit is capable of
generating nearly 1,200 net
megawatts and together they
can produce enough power to
support the electricity needs of
over two million average
American homes.
Braidwood has about 763 Exelon employees. The majority of Braidwood's employees live in Grundy
and Will Counties. The station's annual payroll is about $78 million. Additionally, during refuel

outages, Braidwood employs several hundred temporary contractors, who boost the local economy
during their stay. Exelon pays taxes totaling about $26.5 million every year to support county and
township government, area schools, libraries, park districts and other taxing bodies.
Dresden Generating Station
Located in rural Grundy
County, Dresden is home to
the nation's first full-scale,
privately financed nuclear
power plant which began
operation in 1960. Capable of
generating 210 megawatts of
electricity before its retirement
in 1978, Dresden Unit 1 is
designated a Nuclear Historic
Landmark by the American
Nuclear Society. Dresden
Units 2 and 3 began
commercial operation in 1970
and 1971, respectively. In October of 2004, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission renewed the
operating licenses for both units for an additional 20 years, extending them to 2029 and 2031. Both
units contain boiling water reactors designed by General Electric. Each unit is capable of
generating nearly 900 megawatts of electricity, which together can produce enough power to support
the electricity needs of over 1.5 million average American homes.
Dresden has about 850 Exelon employees. Most of Dresden's employees live in Grundy and Will
Counties. The station's annual payroll is about $74 million. Additionally, during refueling outages,
Dresden employs several hundred temporary contractors who boost the local economy during their
stay. Exelon pays taxes totaling about $24.8 million every year to support county and township
government, area schools, libraries, park districts and other taxing bodies. .

Generation of Electricity
Power plants create electricity by running steam turbines, which are powered either by the fossil fuels
coal, oil, or natural gas or by nuclear power. Nuclear technology produces energy by splitting
uranium atoms in a process called fission. Fission generates heat that boils water for the steam that
runs the turbines, which produce the electricity that we all use, making, for instance, toast for
breakfast. In a nuclear power plant, pea-sized
uranium pellets are stacked inside long, thin
fuel rods which are grouped in “assemblies”
inside a reactor “core.” The core is encased
in a very thick steel capsule, and the entire
reactor is further protected by an airtight steel
and concrete building called a “containment.”
This complex structure is designed to help
ensure the safe utilization of nuclear power.
Waste
Any fuel used to produce energy also produces waste. By-products of coal-burning include smoke,
ashes and slag. Even with the latest technologies, it is impossible to prevent some of this waste from
reaching the environment outside the power plant. Nuclear power generation, on the other hand,
produces waste primarily in the form of spent fuel, which is not released into the environment.
Besides helping to protect the environment, nuclear energy is also highly efficient, producing vastly
more energy for its weight than coal or oil. We would have to burn 120+ gallons of oil or up to a ton
of coal to produce the same amount of energy as that found in a single pellet of uranium.
History
Worldwide
Three significant accidents in the sixty year history of civil nuclear power generation are:
Three Mile Island (USA 1979) The reactor was severely damaged but radiation was
contained and there were no adverse health or environmental
consequences.
Chernobyl (Ukraine 1986) The destruction of the reactor by steam explosion and fire
directly killed 41 people and had significant health and
412

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 172
environmental consequences. Studies continue on the health
effects on the impacted population.
Fukushima (Japan 2011) Following a major earthquake, a tsunami disabled the power
supply and cooling of three reactors. All three cores largely
melted in the first three days. There were no deaths and
exposure doses to radiation from the nuclear accident were
low, but over 100,000 people had to be evacuated from their
homes. The Fukushima Health Management Survey
(FHMS) was implemented after the accident as a way to
monitor the long-term health of residents, promote their
future well-being, and confirm whether long-term low-dose
radiation exposure effects health. Responses showed very
low-radiation exposure doses among residents with low
expectations for radiation-related health effects. However,
psychological distress and an increase in lifestyle-related
health problems were found to be far greater among people
in Fukushima than those in other areas affected by the
nuclear accident.
Will County
Nuclear regulatory agencies require testing of groundwater along with emissions from nuclear
generation facilities. Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that produces a weak level of
radiation. It is produced naturally in the upper atmosphere when cosmic rays strike atmospheric
gases and is produced in larger quantities as a by-product of the nuclear energy industry. When
combined with oxygen, tritium has the same chemical properties as water. Tritium can be found at
very low levels in nearly all water sources. The area located on the northeast corner of the Braidwood
Generation Station property just south of Smiley Road was the location of tritiated water that spilled
back in 1998.

Risk Characterization
Essentially, radiation is a form of energy that can travel through the air, just like light, heat or radio
waves. Small amounts of radiation are naturally generated by different elements in the environment.
Food, water, air and sunlight all expose us daily to tiny amounts of radiation. Uranium is simply a more
powerful source of radiation which, when used properly, can be highly beneficial.
Sometimes people are concerned that a power plant reactor will “blow up,” but this is virtually
impossible. The uranium contains only 3 to 4 percent fissionable material, and the fuel is further diluted
to slow down the fission process. This low concentration can generate enough heat to boil water but not
enough to explode. In short, there is no way for a power plant reactor to produce a nuclear explosion.
Some people also think that they, or the environment, may be accidentally exposed to nuclear radiation by
living or being near a nuclear power plant. Although radioactivity can be dangerous, keep in mind that a
414

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 174
power plant reactor is designed to contain radiation, protecting the rest of the plant and the surrounding
community. To ensure the greatest safety; however, any incident at a power plant that presents the
slightest potential for a leak would be addressed with the utmost care. First, special teams would gather
detailed radiation readings at the plant and throughout surrounding areas. Depending on a number of
factors, which include the amount of radiation released and weather conditions that would affect
movement of the radioactive “plume”, state officials would recommend a course of action. A significant
incident might require people to stay indoors or to evacuate to temporary relocation centers. In any event,
you would be instructed in a safe course of action to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Accidents occur in three different levels or degrees. The first degree is an accident that is handled
effectively within the plant by safety systems. The second is an accident in which the safety systems
malfunction and radioactive noble gases and iodine are released into the atmosphere. The third degree is
a core meltdown and involves an accident in the cooling system. Three dominant exposure modes people
experience as a result of a release of radioactive materials are whole body exposure, thyroid exposure, and
exposure from ingestion of radioactive materials.
Regulations for nuclear power plants are stringent to ensure the public’s safety.
Nuclear Power Plants (six) in Illinois and the United States are subject to meeting standards
established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the state. These building and
construction standards are delineated in each plant’s Updated Safety Analysis Report.
There are no specific land-use practices in place for areas surrounding a nuclear power plant.
However, for the area surrounding each nuclear power plant, a 10-mile Emergency Planning
Zone has been established. Detailed plans are established, implemented, and trained against to
ensure that offsite response organizations can effectively manage an accident at a nuclear power
plant.
The IEMA limits the quantities of radioactive materials a facility can have on hand at any one
time. A licensing and enforcement program accomplishes this limitation.
For existing nuclear power plants, utility access controls are in place to prevent unauthorized
access to the facility. IEMA works with shippers of high hazard radioactive material to improve
the performance of shipping containers.
The basic characteristics of radiation are fixed by the Laws of Physics and are immutable. IEMA
is working with manufacturers of high hazard radioactive materials to improve their basic
415

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 175
structural integrity and reduce the probability of release during normal use and accident
conditions.
The NRC reviews all licensing issues to ensure the requirements for nuclear power plant
protective systems and equipment are maintained. Additionally, IEMA’s Resident Inspectors
routinely inspect these systems for operability and maintenance activities. IEMA Response
personnel are equipped with appropriate radiological detection and monitoring instrumentation,
personal protective equipment, dosimetry, training, and procedures to handle a radiological
emergency.
Nuclear power plants are designed, built, and operated with redundant and diverse critical
systems and equipment.
Impact: Medium
Damage to Buildings
Damage to property is low; however,
contamination could have major adverse
effects rendering buildings and facilities
unusable.
Critical Facilities
Damage or destruction of the nuclear
generation station would impact the
production and delivery of electricity to the
area. Complete shutdown of the
Braidwood station could impact electric
service to as many as two million homes.
The shutdown of Dresden could impact electric service to as many as 1.5 million homes. Water and
sewer utilities would be unable to function without electricity to power pumps.
Health and Safety
Radiation is measured in rems or in millirems (thousandths of a rem). On average, a person living in
Illinois receives about 300 millirem of radiation annually from natural sources and another 60
millirem or so from X-rays and other medical procedures. It takes more than 60 times this much,

2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 176
over 20,000 millirem in a single day, to produce identifiable effects in the body. Federal regulations
allow workers to receive up to 5,000 millirem of radiation in the course of a year’s work.
Economic Impact
The partial or complete loss of electric generation would have a severe economic impact on Will
County and the surrounding area. Homes and businesses would lose the use of utilities necessary for
everyday living and business activities. Transportations systems would be impeded since road and
railways would lose the use of lights and signals necessary for controlling traffic. Fuel would become
unavailable without functioning fuel pumps. Most needed services would be impacted.
Future Occurrences
There have been three major reactor accidents in the history of civil nuclear power: Three Mile
Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima nuclear disasters. These are the only major accidents to have
occurred in more than 14,500 cumulative reactor years of commercial operations in thirty-three
countries. One was contained without harm to anyone, the next involved an intense fire without
provision for containment, and the third severely tested the containment, allowing some release of
radioactivity. Extraordinary effort has been put into safety and security issues to safeguard the public
against harmful incidents with stringent regulations enforced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The risks from western nuclear power plants, in terms or the consequences of an accident or terrorist
attack, are minimal.

Major Natural Gas Transmission Lines
PIPELINE RUPTURES
Hazard Characterization
Pipelines are a potential hazard because of the materials conveyed within them. The most common
materials carried by pipelines are petroleum, crude oil, propane, natural gas, CO2, and ethanol. Pipelines
range in diameter from 3/8 inch to 3+ feet in diameter with many of the pipes having been laid more than
twenty-five years ago. Elements in the soil
such as moisture, bacteria, or acids act on the
pipes causing damaging exposure. The release
of material because of pipe failure due to age or
breakage during excavation work can cause
explosion, fire, pollution, or loss of
communication or power. Pipeline failures can
also be secondary to land subsidence,
earthquake, fires, or erosion.
Pipelines are the safest method of transporting
materials; however, it is not without problems.
The results of pipeline failure are injuries,
fatalities, and/or property damage. Pipeline
failures are a potential hazard within Will
County because of the vast network that travels through the county into Chicago. The county is a major
hub in the United States natural gas pipeline grid where pipelines from Canada and the Gulf of Mexico
meet and then fan out to serve the Midwest.
Because pipelines are a safe and economical method of transportation, more demands are being placed on
this mode of energy transportation increasing the need to upgrade infrastructure and aging pipelines. As a
result of many major incidents, the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) in 2011 called upon companies to accelerate the repair,
rehabilitation, and replacement of the highest risk pipeline infrastructure. Pipelines at highest risk of
incidence are made of cast and wrought iron and bare steel. Cast and wrought iron pipelines were
installed over 60 years ago but these materials degrade over time. Thus, continued use of theses pipelines
poses an increased risk of incident. Progress is published annually by PHMSA. Approximately 97% of

natural gas distribution pipelines in the U.S. are constructed of plastic or steel as of 2019. Significant
improvement has been made in reducing risk and improving public safety by the changes in pipeline
material, construction, and operations and maintenance practices.
The federal government establishes minimum pipeline safety standards under the U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Title 49 "Transportation", Parts 190 - 199. The Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS),
within the U.S. Department of Transportation - PHMSA, has overall regulatory responsibility for
hazardous liquid and gas pipelines under its jurisdiction in the United States. OPS inspects and enforces
the pipeline safety requirements for interstate gas pipeline operators in Illinois. OPS also inspects and
enforces the pipeline safety regulations for both intrastate and interstate hazardous liquid pipeline
operators in Illinois.
Operator compliance with state and federal pipeline safety regulations is monitored through a
comprehensive inspection and enforcement program. The Illinois Commerce Commission’s Pipeline
Safety Section, certification by OPS, is in charge of identifying and checking standards of safety within
the State of Illinois. They work in partnership with the federal PHMSA to assure pipeline operators are
419

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 179
meeting requirements for safe, reliable, and environmentally sound operation of their facilities. The
program is comprised of field inspections of operations, maintenance, and construction activities;
programmatic inspections of operator procedures, processes, and records; incident investigations and
corrective actions; and through direct dialogue with operator management.
While PHMSA serves as the federal pipeline safety regulator, pipeline operators must know, understand,
and manage the risks associated with their own pipeline facilities. In addition to PHMSA inspections,
operators frequently conduct internal reviews of their procedures, facilities, staff, and emergency
procedures.
Types of Pipelines
Gas Pipelines: Transport natural gas which contains primarily methane, ethane, and smaller
amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide and butane.
Hazardous Liquid Transport crude oil; refined petroleum products that include gasoline,
Pipelines: diesel, jet fuel, and home heating oil; highly volatile liquids or natural gas
liquids (NGL) which are butane, ethane, and propane; carbon dioxide; and
anhydrous ammonia.
Purpose of Pipelines
Gathering Pipelines: Gather crude oil from production wells and move it to central gathering
facilities where it is transported to refineries.
Transmission Lines: Transport crude oil and other products across the country and continental
borders.
Geography of Pipelines
Intrastate Pipelines: Pipelines that operate within a single state which are authorized and overseen
by the state.
Interstate Pipelines: Generally carry gas or oil long distances and across state lines.
Pipeline Markers
Because pipelines are usually underground, line markers and warning signs are located along
transmission pipeline rights-of-way. Markers identity of the product being transported, the name of
the pipeline operator, and telephone number to call in the event of an emergency.

History
There are numerous causes of
pipeline incidents. Almost 40% of
the national incidents are a result of
material failure or corrosion, over
25% are caused by human error or
excavation damage, and 6.6% are a
result of natural forces such as earth
movement or floods.
Will County has 714 miles of liquid
pipeline and 783 mile of gas pipeline.
The Impact of Pipeline Events tables
in the following pages total the death,
injury, or property damage that have
occurred in Will County in the last
thirty years.
In April, 1999, a natural gas pipeline
was struck during excavation work
injuring 7 people, destroying 34 town
homes, and damaging 199 homes out of 394.
In September 2010, a heavy crude oil leak was discovered beneath the street pavement. The probable
cause was corrosion of the pipe wall caused by a leaking water pipe located 5 inches below the oil pipe.
An estimated 270,000 gallons of oil was leaked. Damages and environmental cleanup costs exceeded $47
million. This incident exemplifies the cascading effect of a pipeline incident. Businesses near the leak
were closed for one to nine days. Within less than a mile from the leak area are the Des Plaines River and
Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, a residential area, and an ecologically sensitive area. The EPA
removed approximately 1.5 million gallons of treated sewage lagoon water and 15,000 cubic yards of
contaminated soils. Thirty-two animals died as a result of the leak and 141 turtles and frogs were treated
and released.

Risk Characterization
As communities and pipelines grow closer together, concerns about protecting people and the
environment from risk of pipeline incidents have increased. Community awareness and involvement
programs are a key component to pipeline safety. By knowing where pipelines are located and how to
manage activities near them, we can live safely around them. Risks associated with pipeline incidents are
explosion, contamination, asphyxiation, and fire resulting in injury, death, and property damage. Leaking
pipes can send hazardous liquids into the soil or water or gases into the atmosphere. Fortunately, major
incidents are infrequent.
Many transmission lines were laid decades ago through sparsely populated states in the Sun Belt and
through West Coast states. These areas are now experiencing rapid population growth, raising concern
about increased numbers of people living or working close to pipelines. Moreover, many lines that serve
major cities and that run through heavily developed areas
were constructed in what were then sparsely populated,
rural areas. Few of these areas had extensive land use or
zoning regulations in place at the time the lines were laid.
Natural gas and petroleum pipelines are relatively secure
because the majority of pipeline mileage is below ground.
Operators generally also have in place security measures to
protect pipeline facilities from vandalism or intrusion. This
includes the employment of such measures as guards,
fences, and electronic surveillance around facilities.
Operators provide added protection against security
concerns by conducting employee background checks and
carrying out communications with residents along pipeline
rights-of-way, police authorities, and emergency responders
in affected communities.
After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, awareness
increased safeguards and security needs relative to our
nation’s critical infrastructure. The Office of Pipeline
Safety (OPS), along with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the pipeline industry began

looking at ways to enhance the security of our energy pipeline infrastructure thereby ensuring that critical
energy transportation was not disrupted. Enhanced communication networks were developed to share
information on suspicious activities and potential threats to the pipeline infrastructure and to begin
identifying noteworthy and possible enhancements to help assure the security of hazardous liquid and
natural gas pipeline systems.
Following September 11, 2001, OPS undertook several initiatives to help reduce the increased threat of
terrorist activity against pipelines:
Communications
Vulnerability Assessments
Developing consensus security guidance with the pipeline industry and states on conducting
vulnerability assessments, improving security plans, developing specific deterrent and protective
actions, and upgrading response and recovery plans
Obtaining executive-level commitment from pipeline operators to implement needed security
provisions described in the guidance
Developing a definition for “critical pipeline facility” and a system of recommended deterrent
and protective measures that are synchronized with the threat control levels of the Office of
Homeland Security’s threat warning system
Drafting and distributing for review by state and federal officials initial verification audit
protocols
Soliciting research and development proposals to detect encroachments, continuously monitor
rights-of-ways, and improve system controls
Working with DOE and FERC to address issues related to rapid response and recovery of critical
pipeline service in the case of a pipeline disturbance
The Pipeline Safety Improvement Act (PSIA) of 2002, serves to further strengthen regulations regarding
pipeline safety and security. Federal pipeline safety regulations require pipeline operators to conduct
continuing public awareness programs to provide pipeline safety information to four stakeholder
audiences:
Affected Public
Emergency Officials
Local Public Officials
Excavators
428
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 188
OPS will continue its efforts relative to pipeline security by:
Collaborating with pipeline operators, state pipeline safety agencies, and other federal agencies to
continue identifying critical facilities using the established definition of “critical pipeline facility”
Continuing work with the DOE, FERC, and other federal agencies, states, and the pipeline
industry to advance planning for rapid response and recovery of damaged pipeline systems
This will include identifying and resolving barriers to recovery, including the sharing of
critical parts and the need for emergency authorities
Planning and conducting regional exercises with emphasis on response and recovery
Continuing to work with state pipeline safety agencies to verify that pipeline operators have
developed and implemented security, response, and recovery plans for critical pipeline facilities
The Pipelines and Informed Planning Alliance (PIPA) was formed in response to the Pipeline Safety
Improvement Act of 2002, by PHMSA and consisted of 130 stakeholders. PIPA’s purpose was to
recommend practices on land use and development near transmission pipelines to reduce the potential
risks of pipeline incidents. The alliance recommended 43 practices published in their report,
Partnering to Further Enhance Pipeline Safety in Communities Through Risk-Informed Land Use
Planning: Final Report of Recommended Practices (PIPA Recommended Practices).
(Available from: https://primis.phmsa.dot.gov/comm/pipa/pipa_audience_local_government.htm)
The potential hazards of transmission pipeline releases vary according to the failure mode of the
pipeline, the commodity released, the operating conditions of the pipeline at the time of the
incident, and the characteristics of the surrounding area. The varying behaviors of the products
released during a pipeline incident will present different challenges for hazard mitigation.
Impact: Medium
Damage to Buildings
Pipeline incidents can cause extensive damage to buildings through contamination, fire, or explosion.
Critical Facilities
The United States currently consumes about 85 billion cubic feet of natural gas daily, nearly all of
which is transported by pipeline and about 20.5 million barrels of petroleum products. Interruptions
in pipeline service can cause delays in natural gas production and utilities, and chemical processing
plants who utilize the products transported through the pipeline system. Transportation routes may by
429

2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 189
impacted or closed causing delays in response/recovery efforts or emergency medical services.
Communication systems or electric power can also be lost when underground lines are damaged.
Health and Safety
A hazardous liquid or gas released when pipelines are damaged or fail due to corrosion or material
defects can cause injuries and death to people by ingestion or inhalation of toxins or fire or explosion.
Pipeline ruptures may also have an environmental impact with lasting ecological effects,
contamination of drinking water and waterways, or air pollution, all resulting in high costs for
cleanup.
Economic Impact
Being that Will County is a major pipeline hub, a damaged pipeline can cause an interruption in
service of that product not only locally but also throughout the region of its transport. This can cause
a loss of natural gas needed to heat buildings or petroleum products being sent to refineries or
processing centers causing delays in production.
Future Occurrence
Due to its location, Will County has throughout its borders numerous pipeline systems carrying
hazardous liquid and gas products. There is risk of serious incidents due to the nature of these
products; however, government agencies and the pipeline industries are working together to promote
and improve safety throughout the pipeline systems.

NON-HAZARDOUS MATERIAL TRANSPORTATION
Hazard Characterization
The transportation sector consists of roads, commuter and freight rail services, regional buses, waterways,
and bikeways that transport goods and people. Being proximate to Chicago has led Will County to
develop an intricate and varied transportation system for the conveyance of raw materials, finished goods,
workers, and tourists in and out of Chicago and its metropolitan area. It has developed over decades as a
result of public and private investment. The diversity and size of the transportation sector makes it
essential to the county’s economy and security. The Will County Connects 2040 Long Term
Transportation Plan states “our transportation network is one of the most important strategic assets we
have in Will County, touching every aspect of our lives. It provides access to jobs, education, and
healthcare; moves the goods and services we all rely on; and facilitates interaction with our families,
friends, and the environment.”

Will County’s Transportation Assets:
Hundreds of miles of roadways connecting communities across the county
Access to 4 interstates and 6 Class I railroads that link to networks throughout the region and
nation
3 navigable waterways that transport goods on freight barges
Truck, rail, and waterborne intermodal terminals and nearly 150 million square feet of industrial
space
4 Metra lines to move commuters throughout Chicagoland
Over 20 Pace buses and one of the few Express Services (Bus-on-Shoulder) in operation
Over 400 miles of bikeways to support mobility, public health, and environmental sustainability
Regardless of the mode of transportation, accidents can and do occur. Motor vehicles, airplanes, trains, or
boats are all subject to the risk of accidents. These accidents can occur anywhere within the
transportation system because of the driver’s error, mechanical failure, poor weather conditions, or
sabotage. With the many major highways, rail lines, airports, waterways, and intermodal connections,
Will County does experience transportation accidents and must be prepared to provide immediate
emergency response.
Though accidents normally are not considered disasters, the results of an accident can be of severe
magnitude and it is these incidents that are addressed in preparedness planning. Multiple car and truck
accidents, train derailments, airplane crashes, and boat accidents can cause mass injuries or death. Fire
and explosions may result from the impact. Property may be damaged or destroyed by the accident. Any
incident that slows or shuts down a major transportation route will affect the travel time of people and the
transportation flow of raw materials and goods. To mitigate accidents, laws and regulations require driver
training, provide rules for vehicle operation, and regulate vehicle maintenance. Laws and regulations
cannot eliminate accidents, but they can help to lower the incidence of accidents.

More Will County residents work outside the county than within. Over two-thirds of employed residents
work outside of the county traveling mostly to Cook and DuPage counties. About half of Will County
workers commute from areas outside the county and those workers come mainly from Cook County.
Residents also utilized the county’s transportation system for shopping, social, and recreational purposes.
Traveling once was auto-centric, but now travel choices include public transit (bus, rail), car sharing, and
biking.

Will County’s proximate location to Chicago and transportation systems of interstate highways, freight
railroads, and inland waterways has allowed the county to flourish in inland intermodal activity and
freight warehousing and distribution. The rapid success of global transportation has provided an
important link in the global supply chains of many industries. Growth and success have also created
many problems in the county’s infrastructure which was not prepared for the congestion, wear and tear on
roads and bridges not built for heavy trucks, noise, and safety issues on roads and rail crossings.

History
With I-80 and I-55 being major transportation routes, numerous accidents have occurred on these
highways. On January 25, 2002, a 15-passenger van was traveling too fast on icy roads. It slid out of
control, crossed the median, and was struck by an on-coming tractor trailer. All eleven passengers in the
vehicle were killed. Another highway incident occurred near Braidwood on April 30, 1999, involving a
bus. Twenty people were injured and one was killed.
Train accidents have also involved many injuries. On April 6, 1989, fifty-eight people were injured; on
March 21, 1988, sixteen were injured; and on July 1, 1987, twenty-eight were injured and one was killed.
As the intermodal transportation system grows within the county, so do the occurrences of accidents.
The interstates, roads, bridges, and waterways were built long before freight vehicles were introduced to
the area. As a result, large trucks have difficulty maneuvering ramps and turns and the mix of passenger
cars and trucks often lead to accidents, particularly in the winter months.

Risk Characterization
Interdependences exist between the various modes of transportation as goods are moved in and out of the
county between highway, rail, and water. Interdependences also exist between transportation and every
other sector of the economy. Consequently, accidents in the transportation sector may impact other
industries that rely on it for its transport of raw materials, finished goods, and workers.

Airports: The aviation mode has the symbolic value of representing the freedom of movement that
Americans value so highly along with the technological and industrial prowess which has
made the United States a world power. The nation’s aviation system consists of
airports/airplanes and the associated assets needed to support their operations and aviation
command, control, communications, and information systems needed to maintain safe use
of our national airspace. Will County has six private or general aviation airports that
provide business and recreational aerial service to the local area.
Bridges: Vehicular and railroad bridges represent choke points and
therefore play a very critical role and present unique challenges.
Within Will County are major bridges that cross waterways,
railways, and connect major interstates that are important links in
the transportation system. Should they be damaged or destroyed,
emergency response and movement of both commercial and
private vehicles would be severely hampered.

Highways: The trucking and busing industry is a fundamental component of not only our national
but also our county transportation infrastructure. Without the transportation sector’s
resources, the movement of people, goods, and services would be greatly impeded.
Components of this infrastructure include highways, roads, inter-modal terminals,
bridges, tunnels, trucks, buses, and maintenance facilities. Millions of privately owned
and commercial trucking vehicles utilize the extensive interstate system that crosses
Illinois on a daily basis, and millions of tons of goods are shipped in and out of the state
each year. The interstate network is vital to the commercial trucking industry for both
intra- and inter-state shipments of products.
There are three major travel corridors within Will County: first, a northeasterly flow to
and from Chicago from the northwestern sections of the county; second, a north-south
flow to and from Chicago from the central and eastern sections of the county; and third,
a north-south inter-suburban flow between Will and DuPage Counties that provide work
commuting routes. The county’s highway system consists of four interstate highways
and nine state highways. The interstate highway system is designed as a paved, four-
lane, high-speed vehicle travel corridor that allows virtually uninterrupted travel through
the Chicago Metropolitan Area and to other parts of Illinois and surrounding states.
Over one-hundred county highways exist to provide service between interstate and state
highways while township roads serve the needs of the farming community and
municipal streets serve local and through traffic within the cities and villages.

Railroads/ Train Stations:
Illinois is viewed as the center of the nation’s rail network. Chicago is considered the
railroad capital and has established its status as the nation’s railroad intermodal hub.
There are roughly 7,300 route miles or railroad lines in Illinois and approximately
4,000 of those miles are vital to the transportation of freight and passengers within
Illinois. More than 40 railroads are able to provide service from Illinois to every part
of the United States. Metra provides commuter transportation in and out of Will
County. Freight trains carry mining, manufacturing, and agricultural products; liquid
chemicals and fuels; and consumer goods. There are five Class I Railroads operating
within Will County providing transportation of goods:
BNSF Railway Company
Union Pacific Railroad

Waterways: Navigable waterways in Will County include -
Illinois River – connects into the Mississippi River providing access to the Gulf of
Mexico markets
Des Plaines River/Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal – parallels I-55 and connects to
the south branch of the Chicago River
Cal-Sag Channel – connects to Lake Michigan providing a gateway into the Great
Lakes waterway system
A number of Will County businesses and industries rely heavily on these inland
waterways and the Great Lakes system. The most common products transported by
water are bulk commodities – coal, grain, sand, and stone.

Bikeway Will County has over 400 miles of bikeways of which 89% are paved or limestone
Network: trails. As bikeway networks grow, there is the potential for the networks to
interconnect allowing biking to become a viable transportation mode beyond
recreational trips. Key to its further development is to create on- and off-street bikeway
facilities.
To address transportation hazard issues, Will County has been working together with its public and
private partners. They have been working together to identify the problems resulting from general
growth, aging infrastructure, and the rapid development of the inland intermodal transportation and
warehousing/distribution businesses. As they prioritize projects to address the county’s needs, they are
also working together to identify funding sources. With all sectors of the county working together to
address infrastructure and transportation issues, a safer transportation system will be developed that
protects the well-being and prosperity of residents, workers, and businesses.

Health and Safety
Traffic accidents are influenced by weather conditions, speed of traffic, and the number of vehicles
occupying the road. Conditions that lead to accidents include rain, fog, ice, heavy rain, strong winds,
high speed, and heavy traffic congestion. Accordingly, people are injured or killed as a result of
accidents.

Economic Impact
Short delays due to slow downs or shut downs in transportation systems are the most common results
of accidents. Should a major transportation route be shut down for an extended period of time, people
traveling through that area and businesses transporting raw materials and goods could be impacted
until that route is repaired.
Future Occurrence
As the county grows in population and business/manufacturing entities, use of all transportation
systems will increase which will likely increase the number of accidents.

DAM FAILURE
Hazard Characterization
A dam is built to control water and can be made from earth, rocks, or concrete. Dams are usually
constructed on rivers to store water in a reservoir during times of excess flow and then released as needed.
They are important because they provide water for drinking, industrial processes, fishing, recreation,
navigation, and transport of raw goods on rivers. The water impounded behind a dam is referred to as the
reservoir and is measured in acre-feet, with one acre-foot being the volume of water that covers one acre
of land to a depth of one foot. Due to topography, even a small dam may have a reservoir containing
many acre-feet of water.
Dam failure is an accidental or unintentional collapse or other failure of an impoundment structure that
results in downstream flooding. Dams are man-made structures and dam failures are usually considered
technological hazards; however, dams usually fail as a result of the secondary effects of storms. Dam
failures may result from natural events, human-caused events, or a combination thereof. Failure can
result in the release of the reservoir contents that include water, mine wastes or agricultural refuse causing
a negative impact upstream or downstream or at a location remote from the dam. A flood that is caused
by the breach of a dam may be of greater magnitude than a flood originating from the runoff of rainfall or
snowmelt.
Will County is situated on the Illinois Waterway System, a primary waterway-barge link between the St.
Lawrence Seaway, the Great Lakes, the Mississippi River, and the Gulf of Mexico. The system follows
449

2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 209
along the Illinois and Michigan (I&M) Canal and the
Des Plaines River through Will County, providing
manufacturers with excellent low-cost barge shipping
opportunities for bulk materials. Coal, petroleum
products, chemicals, metals and ores, non-metallic
minerals, grain, stone, sand, clay, and cement are
among the major commodities that travel through Will
County on the Illinois Waterway System. Will County
is home to the third greatest number of public and
private waterway terminals in Illinois.
The Illinois Waterway system consists of 336 miles of water from the mouth of the Chicago River to the
mouth of the Illinois River at Grafton, Illinois. It is a system of rivers, lakes, and canals which provide a
shipping connection from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River. The
I&M Canal opened in 1849. In 1900, the
Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal replaced it and
reversed the flow of the Chicago River so it no
longer flowed into Lake Michigan. The United
States Army Corps of Engineers maintains a 9
foot deep navigation channel in the waterway.
A series of seven locks control water flows from
Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River system.
Two of those lock and dam systems are located
in Will County: Brandon Road Lock and Dam
and Lockport Lock and Dam.

Brandon Road Lock and Dam
Brandon Road Pool is created by Brandon Road Lock and Dam on the Des Plaines River in Will
County, Illinois, and is used for improved navigation purposes. It connects from the Chicago River
(connecting to Lake Michigan) to the Illinois River. It was completed in 1933. It is owned by U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers.
Brandon Road Lock and Dam, also
known as Brandon Road Pool, is a
gravity dam. The core is homogeneous,
earth, concrete, and metal. The
foundation is rock. Though originally
completed in 1933, the structure was
modified in 1985. Its height is 40 feet
with a length of 14,250 feet. Its capacity
is 4,500 acre feet. Normal storage is
4,500 acre feet. It drains an area of 1,500
square miles.
Lockport Lock and Dam
This lock and dam is located in Lockport, Illinois, within the three-mile lower reach of the Chicago
Sanitary Ship Canal which extends from the Chicago River to the Illinois Waterway. The Lockport
upper pool is perched 38 feet above the surrounding communities. The lock has a width of 110 feet
and length of 600 feet. It was completed in 1933. Rehabilitation work was completed in 1989.

The Lockport Pool Approach Dike and walls
were confirmed potentially unsafe. Total
estimated repair project cost is $132,400,000.
The Approach Dike is presently under repair
with a 300 foot test section of full depth concrete
cut-off wall being constructed. If successful, it
will lead to 4,300 feet of the dike receiving a full
depth cut-off wall. Interim risk reduction
measures were completed including weir repair
and tree cutting along the back side of the dike.
In addition, design of the left descending bank
wall repairs is underway with a proposed fourth
quarter contract award.

State Regulation
The State of Illinois regulates dams under Title 17, Chapter I, III, Administrative Code 3702. Dams are
categorized according to the probable loss of human life and the impacts on economic, environmental,
and lifeline interests:
1. Low Hazard Potential Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those
where failure or misoperation results in no probable loss of human
life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are
principally limited to the owner’s property.

2. Significant Hazard Potential Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are
those dams where failure or misoperation results in no probable
loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental
damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or can impact other
concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are
often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could
be located in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
3. High Hazard Potential Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those
where failure or misoperation will probably cause loss of human
life.

History
The history of dam failure in Will County has primarily been the result of severe storms. The possibility
of dam failure is rare if dams and locks are properly maintained and inspected.

Risk Characterization
The affected area for dam failure includes the dam and the area impacted by the release of the water in the
reservoir. For the most part, there are few people on the dam and the health and safety impacts are
negligible. The threat in the area below the dam can be significant. Damages are similar to flooding with
increased structural damages due to the higher velocities of flow. Responders will experience the same
hazards as in other flood response situations.
More than half of the 240 operational Corps funded lock chambers in the U.S., which handle over 625
million tons of freight each year, are over 50 years old and have exceeded their economic design lives.
The replacement value of our lock and dam facilities has been estimated at more than $125 billion.
Owned and operated by the federal government, the system’s infrastructure has been recapitalized with an
investment at the grossly inadequate level of approximately $220 million annually over the past 10 years,
although this trend has begun to improve in the past few years.
Many locks currently in use are too small for today’s larger tows. This leaves the dams susceptible to
closures and long delays for repairs and the inability to deal effectively with lines and wait times that
result from their obsolescence. On the Upper Mississippi River, for instance, many lock chambers are
600 feet in length. However, the average length of a modern tow (15 barges pushed by a towboat) is
1,200 feet. Consequently, for a modern tow to navigate through these antiquated locks, it must split in
half and transit the lock one section at a time, resulting in costly delays.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports increasing amounts of scheduled and unscheduled downtime
at the locks on America’s inland navigation system. In 2005, for example, the Corps reported navigation
locks were unavailable (scheduled and unscheduled without ice) for about 110,000 hours (~ 4,600 days).
Queue delays at congested or unavailable locks cost the industry hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
Waterborne transportation is generally out of sight, out of mind. But the inland waterways transportation
system binds us together in this country and allows us to turn on lights, eat our cereal in the morning, and
drive our cars to work. It deserves our support and our commitment to nurture it, not neglect it.

Impact: Medium
Dam Failures
Dam failures usually occur when the spillway capacity is inadequate and water overtops the dam or
when internal erosion through the dam foundation occurs, also known as piping. If internal erosion or
overtopping causes a full structural breach, a high-velocity, debris-laden wall of water is released and
rushes downstream, damaging or destroying whatever is in its path. Dam failures may result from
one or more the following:
Prolonged periods of rainfall and flooding (the cause of most failures)
Inadequate spillway capacity which causes excess overtopping flows
Internal erosion due to embankment or foundation leakage or piping
Improper maintenance
Improper design
Negligent operation
Failure of upstream dams
Landslides into reservoirs
High winds
Earthquakes.
For emergency planning purposes, dam
failures are categorized as either rainy
day or sunny day failures. Rainy day
failures involve periods of excessive
precipitation leading to an unusually
high runoff. This high runoff increases
the reservoir of the dam and if not
controlled, the overtopping of the dam
or excessive water pressure can lead to
dam failure. Normal storm events can
also lead to rainy day failures if water
outlets are plugged with debris or
otherwise made inoperable. Sunny day
458
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 218
failures occur due to poor dam maintenance, damage/obstruction of outlet systems, or vandalism.
This is the worst type of failure and can be catastrophic because the breach is unexpected and there
may be insufficient time to properly warn downstream residents.
If a dam suffers a partial or complete failure, the potential energy of the water stored behind even a
small dam can cause loss of life and great property damage downstream. The following factors
influence the impact of a dam failure:
Level of failure (partial or complete)
Rapidity of failure (sudden or gradual)
Amount of water released
Nature of the development or infrastructure located downstream
Damage to Buildings
Buildings downstream of a dam failure can be inundated and lost due to flooding. Damages are
similar to flooding with increased structural damages due to the higher velocities of flow.
Critical Facilities
Essential utilities and facilities can be damaged or lost from resultant flooding due to dam failure.
Health and Safety
Injury and loss of life can occur when a dam fails or water overspills its banks. Damages to the
environment are typically less than flooding. Duration of inundation due to dam failure is short.
Economic Impact
The economic impact from dam failure is similar to flooding. The local economy can be affected
when businesses and homes are flooded by the overspill of a dam. Dam Failure can have a serious
effect on the movement of goods through our waterway system that would have an impact beyond our
local economic area. Our country’s inland navigation system plays a critical role in our nation’s
economy, moving hundreds of millions of tons of domestic commerce valued at $300 billion
annually. Additionally, our inland waterways facilitate a significant portion of the $851.5 billion
worth of imports and exports to and from the United State each year. Specific data regarding
economic impact can be found through IEMA – Economic Impact Multi-Hazards Estimates binder.

INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURE
Hazard Characterization
Infrastructure failure of critical public or private utilities results in a temporary loss of essential functions
and/or services. The residents of Will County depend on the public and private utility infrastructure to
provide essential services such as electric power, heating and air conditioning, water, sewage disposal and
treatment, storm drainage, communications, and transportation. Failure of any of these services for an
extended length of time would require an emergency management organization response to supply food,
water, heating, etc. Failure can occur within a distribution system or be caused by external factors such as
severe storms or fire. Codes and standards govern the design, construction, and operation of
infrastructures, but they are inadequate to protect against disaster related damage.
Electricity failure interrupts the functions of businesses and homes, causes life-threatening situations in
medical facilities, creates traffic stoppages, spoils food, and disrupts communication and computer
functions. Failure of heating and air conditioning units can threaten lives in extreme cold or hot weather.
Disruption of storm drainage can lead to flooding, and inoperable sewage treatment facilities will cause
pollution leading to serious public health problems. Infrastructure failure heavily impacts the most
vulnerable members of the community, namely the elderly, children, impoverished individuals, and
people in poor health. The cost to repair these systems along with the economic and societal damage
caused by lengthy disruption is excessively high.
History
Utility interruptions have been rare in Will County other than those associated with weather events.
Risk Characterization
Infrastructure failure may result from natural, technological, or societal hazards along with human error,
equipment failure, or poor maintenance. The impact of infrastructure failure can be significant depending
on the length of disruption and the extent of the affected area. Infrastructure failures can also create
serious safety hazards when power lines are down, fire or explosion ensues, or hazardous materials are
released into the environment.
Natural hazards include tornadoes and severe thunder or winter storms that may damage utility supply
lines. Extreme heat can place a high demand for electricity causing an over-demand and failure of power
461

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 221
grids. Drought can impact water supplies. Technological hazards can impact infrastructure through fire,
pipeline damage, or industrial accidents. Societal hazards include intentional acts of disruption resulting
from terrorist attacks, civil disturbances, or sabotage.
Disruptions
Electric Utility: Affects the population primarily during winter and summer when the
need and demand for heat and air-conditioning are high. Electric
disruptions impact business when computers, lighting, refrigeration, gas
pumps, and other equipment cannot be powered.
Telecommunications: Society has become very dependent on our variety of communication
devices. When telephone service is disrupted, the use of land or cell
phones, internet, or credit cards may be impacted. This can have a
negative effect on emergency services and the banking system. Usage
overloads of cell phones occur when there are large public events or
emergencies. Storms may have an effect on radio communications.
With many forms of communication devices available to us, the
unavailability of one type should not affect the use of others.
Water Supply: Severe drought can have an impact on water supply causing restrictions
on use.
Wastewater Services: Damage to wastewater facilities may cause sanitation and biological
hazards, overloading of systems causing overflows and pollution, sewage
discharge, and economic loss due to cleanup costs.
Gas Supply: Damage to gas supply systems can cause fire, explosion, death,
evacuation of affected areas, loss of heat and cooking facilities, and
economic losses to business and industry.
Petroleum Distribution: Loss of petroleum supply and distribution networks can be a result of fire
or explosions and cause death, panic buying of fuel, social disruption,
environmental cleanup costs, and economic losses to business and
industry.
462
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 222
Transportation Systems: Infrastructure losses would cause the loss of traffic signals and damage
to roadways, bridges, or waterways due to fire or explosion resulting in
traffic congestion, social disorder, and economic losses.
Impact: Low
Damage to Buildings
Damage to buildings due to infrastructure failure is low. The potential exists for water damage when
a facility is without heat and pipes freeze causing them to burst. Fire is another hazard when people
find alternate sources for heat or light when electricity or heating fuel is disrupted. Explosion can
occur from damaged gas lines.
Health and Safety
Impact on people and pets occurs when heating and cooling sources are lost. With extreme cold and
heat events, the elderly are generally the first population group to be adversely affected. Injury or
death may be possible when fire, explosions, or gas leaks occur.
Economic Impact
A study characterizing infrastructure failure interdependencies identified the sectors affected as:
HVAC in buildings, effects on water systems, effects on health systems, and effects on road
transportation systems. If disrupted by infrastructure failure, all of the sectors could have a
significant impact on businesses and homes in the affected area.
Future Occurrence
Infrastructure failure may occur individually or in combination with natural or technological hazards.
It is estimated that the probability of occurrence and effect is low; however, the potential exists for
widespread effect, particularly as secondary effects from hazards such as tornadoes.

LAND SUBSIDENCE
Hazard Characterization
Land subsidence is any vertical displacement or downward movement of a generally level ground surface
resulting from either natural or man-induced surface or subsurface conditions. Natural subsidence occurs
when the ground collapses into underground cavities produced by the solution of limestone or other
soluble materials by groundwater. Drought or excessive rainfall can also cause sinkholes. Human-
induced subsidence is caused mainly by groundwater withdrawal, drainage of organic soils, and
underground mining.
Loosely packed materials
tend to compact and sink as
time passes. In an open
field, subsidence presents
no real problem.
Gradually, depressions
make the land marshy and
unfit for cultivation. The
problem becomes serious
where land has been
developed. Subsidence
poses a greater risk to
property than to life and
generally affects very few people. Land subsidence may take years to become apparent. As subsidence
occurs, buildings begin to crack and slope to one side. Severe subsidence can result in complete collapse
or deterioration serious enough to warrant the building being condemned. Roads can collapse. Gas mains
and sewer lines underlying the building may also crack, thus causing secondary problems with
explosions, fire, or flooding.
History
Most subsidence in Illinois is a result from underground mining. The first settlers of Illinois mined to
extract coal, lead, zinc, fluorite, shale, claystone, limestone, and dolomite. Mines were located in low
464
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 224
population areas at that time with little regulation. Thus, there was rarely any structure damage if the
ground settled. As towns developed over the mined areas, subsidence problems began causing structural
damage.
The southwestern portion of Will County was once the site of shaft coalmines. Most of these mines were
abandoned around the turn of the century, but the mined-out areas still exist. Estimates that were taken
from the Illinois Geological Survey maps indicate that about one-eighth of the county was undermined.
The communities of Diamond, Godley, and Braidwood have extensive underminings. A directory of coal
mines for Will County dating as far back as 1873 is available from:
https://isgs.illinois.edu/sites/isgs/files/maps/coal-maps/mines-series/mines-directories/pdf-files/mines-directory-
will.pdf.
Many of the mining companies which operated in Illinois closed long before the mine subsidence
occurred. Because property insurance did not cover such damage, property owners who experienced
mine subsidence damage prior to 1979 had no recourse. For this reason along with high incidences
of damage, special insurance coverage was created specifically to address mine subsidence problems
faced by today's Illinois homeowners and the Mine Subsidence Insurance Act was passed in 1979.
Through the Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund, coverage is available up to $750,000 for both
residential and commercial structures. (Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund available at:
https://www.imsif.com/).
The 2018 Illinois Hazard Mitigation Plan shows no Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund confirmed
claims for Will County during the period of 1999 – 2017. While over 800,000 acres of the state have
been undermined for coal, the occurrence of mine subsidence, statistically, is fairly infrequent.

Risk Characterization
Mine subsidence is affected by three aspects of Illinois geology:
Much Illinois coal exists between weak layers of shale, claystone, limestone, and sandstone.
These layers form a weak mine roof, allowing eventual collapse between support pillars.
The layer under most Illinois coal is a soft clay, providing a poor foundation for mine roof
support pillars, which can sink and collapse the mine.
Illinois' soft coal tends to deteriorate upon contact with air in the mine. This means that roof
support pillars carved out of the coal are prone to crumble and fail.
With a number of abandoned mines, additional dangers exit. Old mines may be partially collapsed or
unstable making them inaccessible. Collapse of the mines may occur at any time and up to 100 years
after mining. Some mines are full of water. Others may contain poisonous or explosive gases. Because
of these dangerous issues, approval and supervision of the state mine inspector is required to access them.
The Abandoned Mined Lands Reclamation Division (AMLRD) within the Illinois Department of Natural
Resources (IDNR) deals with environmental and hazardous conditions of past coal mining activities.
Most mine subsidence in Illinois has been caused by coal mining. Pit and sag are two forms of land
subsidence that occur in Illinois.
Pit Subsidence
Pit subsidence mostly occurs over shallow mines that are less than 100 feet deep and where bedrock
over the mine is less than 50 feet thick and composed of weak rock materials like shale.
Distinguished by a bell shaped hole – 6-8 feet deep by 2-40 feet across
Ground movement is primarily
downward and is swift and sudden
Commonly occur after heavy rainfalls
Damage may occur to structures if the
pit subsidence occurs under the corner
or foundation
Sag or Trough Subsidence
Sag subsidence is the most common type of
mine subsidence and forms a gentle depression

over a broad area. The sag may be as large as the mine panel and several acres of land may be
affected. The ground moves in two directions. Vertical settlement occurs and the ground moves
horizontally toward the center of the depression.
First signs may appear suddenly (a few hours or days) with gradual movement continuing for
a couple of years to over a decade
Usually caused when coal pillars left to support the mine’s roof disintegrate, collapse, or sink
into a soft layer below the pillars
Damage is usually subtle and may be mistaken for normal wear and tear until multiple signs
appear
The vertical and horizontal movement creates tension zones that pull apart structures, roads,
driveways, sidewalks, sewer and water pipes, and other utilities.
The Illinois State Geological Survey maintains the Coal Mines in Illinois Viewer that allows the
public to identify if their home is near mined areas and also publishes information guides that
describe mine subsidence issues in Illinois and remedies for its occurrence.

Impact: Low
Damage to Buildings
Damage to property from
mine subsidence can
range from mild to severe.
The following conditions
may indicate a mine
subsidence loss, but it is
important to note that
469
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 229
these conditions are often times the result of normal ground movement due to changes in soil
moisture or seasonal temperature changes.
Sudden appearance of cracks in the building's foundation, exterior walls, basement or garage
floors
Foundation, porch or steps appear to pull away from the frame of the house
Tilt in the house; doors start swinging open, or shut, or become jammed
Windows start sticking, jamming, or even breaking
Noticeable separations between walls and floors
Water pipes break, resulting in contaminated tap water, loss of water pressure or interior
water damage
Popping or snapping might be heard as the ground shifts
If mine subsidence is the cause, it is likely that several of these problems will develop. Initial damage
may occur within a few days or gradually over months. Ground movement from mine subsidence
usually continues for years.
Future Occurrence
It is theoretically possible for
an entire mine to collapse.
Generally, with mine
subsidence, it will not be an
extensive area, usually less
than 3 acres. Probably the
most effective way of stopping
mine subsidence is to
eliminate gravity. Since we
cannot do that, mine subsidence probably cannot be fully stopped. Modern mining techniques, such
as those used in Illinois today, minimize the potential for future mine subsidence. The Illinois Mine
Subsidence Insurance Fund generally investigates losses caused by older mines, which were mined a
generation or two ago.

CYBERSECURITY
During the course of the county’s hazard analysis, participants noted today’s problem with cybersecurity.
We were unable to evaluate this hazard during the analysis; however, it is important to identify it for
study and begin to incorporate it into hazard mitigation planning. Thus, a synopsis of the hazard is
included along with sources for information and mitigation. The intent is to incorporate cybersecurity
into future hazard mitigation planning.
FEMA describes cyber as anything that contains, is connected to, or controlled by computers and
computer networks. Computer networks are used by almost everyone on a daily basis. People are able to
conduct banking; make purchases; communicate with others by email and social media; and control their
TV, phone system, alarm systems, thermostats, lights, home entrances, and many more modern
conveniences using their computer or cell phone. Our local, state, and national critical infrastructure rely
on cyber technology. FEMA defines critical infrastructure as the assets, systems and networks, whether
physical or virtual, so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a
debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any
combination thereof. Critical infrastructure sectors include:
Banking and Finance
Chemical
Commercial Facilities
Critical Manufacturing
Dams
Defense Industrial base
Emergency Services
Energy
Food and Agriculture
Government Facilities
Healthcare and Public Health
Information Technology
National Monuments and Icons
Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste

Being online exposes us to cyber criminals and others who commit identity theft, fraud, and harassment.
Every time we connect to the Internet at home, at school, at work, or on our mobile devices we make

American community to create a safer cyber environment from government and law enforcement to the
private sector and, most importantly, members of the public. (See: https://www.cisa.gov/cyber-safety)
On November 16, 2018, President Trump signed into the law the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency Act of 2018. This legislation established the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
Agency (CISA). The agency is tasked with building the national capacity to defend against cyber attacks
and works with the federal government to provide cybersecurity tool, incident response services, and

PUBLIC HEALTH
Hazard Characterization
Public health issues typically bring to mind infectious disease epidemics. Up through the early 1900’s,
there was significant risk from diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever, poliomyelitis, and measles.
As the 1900’s progressed, research brought about better sanitation, medical care, immunization, and new
drugs that reduced the risks of epidemics. Public health services grew as methods of prevention of
serious diseases were discovered.

Today, major epidemics are uncommon but
still exist as a threat. The increase in life
expectancy that grew during the 20th century
was largely due to improvements in child
survival resulting from reductions in
infectious disease mortality. Immunizations
were the primary impetus for these
reductions with others being use of
antibiotics, improvements in screening and
testing guidelines, and improvements in diagnosis of infectious disease. Between 1980 and 2014, deaths
from infectious disease dropped significantly. However, influenza and pneumonia are still included in the
leading causes of death in the United States.3

Public Health Emergencies are defined as incidents that involve a widespread and/or severe epidemic,
contamination, or other situations that present a danger to or otherwise negatively impact the general
health and well-being of the public. Though diseases that were life threatening years ago are now under
control, unexpected sources of infection do occur and can spread before the source of the problem can be
contained. Foodborne illness, encephalitis, West Nile disease, hepatitis, tuberculosis (TB), pneumonia,
and influenza, among others, are potential threats to Will County’s residents.

The Will County Health Department is prepared for potential disease threats and monitors unusual or
suspect symptoms. The Health Department and other healthcare providers (hospitals, TB clinic, private
labs, etc.) evaluate many factors in its response to a disease threat, including the mode of transmission,
the route of entry, and the commonality of victims.
Indicators of unusual disease activity include:
Rapidly increasing disease incidence
Unusual increase in the number of people seeking care, especially with neurological, respiratory,
dermal, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms
Higher attack rates among persons who had attendance at similar activities or events

History
During the 20th Century, the emergence of several new Influenza A virus subtypes caused three
pandemics, all of which spread around the world within a year of being detected. Influenza A viruses still
circulate today after being re-introduced into the human population in 1977. Both the Asian Flu and
Hong Kong Flu pandemics were caused by viruses containing a combination of genes from a human
influenza virus and an avian influenza virus. The Spanish Flu pandemic virus appears to have an avian
origin. Despite annual vaccinations, approximately 2,000 deaths occur in Illinois each year.
477

Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 237
The Spanish Flu [A (H1N1)], 1918-1919, caused the highest number of known influenza deaths. More
than 500,000 people died in the United States, and up to 50 million people may have died worldwide.
Many people died within the first few days after infection, and others died of secondary complications.
The Asian Flu [A (H2N2)], 1957-1958, caused about 70,000 deaths in the United States. First identified in
China in late February 1957, the Asian flu spread to the United States by June 1957.
The Hong Kong Flu [A (H3N2)], 1968-1969, caused about 34,000 deaths in the United States. This virus
was first detected in Hong Kong in early 1968 and spread to the United States later that year.
The United States experienced its first wave of 2009 H1N1 activity in the spring of 2009, followed by a
second wave in the fall, with the number of people infected peaking at the end of October. The novel
influenza virus first caused illness in Mexico and then in the United States. It was not long after those
initial reports that the “swine flu,” so named because it was related to a respiratory disease in pigs, was
reported in Illinois and around the country. Later renamed H1N1 flu, the virus was so prolific in its
spread that by June, 2009, the World Health Organization signaled a global pandemic was underway.
The first confirmed case of H1N1 flu in Illinois was reported in late April, 2009. Hundreds of cases of
H1N1 flu followed and, for a period of time, the state had reported the highest number of cases in the U.S.
Unlike seasonal flu, which is usually active in the fall and winter, H1N1 flu continued to circulate in the
nation and in Illinois throughout the summer.
A second wave of H1N1 influenza began in the fall and the state’s H1N1 caseload climbed to more than
2,500 cases and 79 deaths by the end of the 2009. The H1N1 influenza vaccine began arriving in Illinois
in early October 2009, and the state started vaccinations of those identified as most at risk of the novel
flu. Complicating the H1N1 flu resurgence in the fall was the threat of seasonal flu, which typically
occurs between October and April. Illinois usually records about 2,600 seasonal flu and pneumonia
deaths per year, making it the 10th leading cause of death. Will County experienced two deaths from the
H1N1 virus.

Example
As an example of how infections can spread, outbreaks of West Nile virus began to occur in the New
York metropolitan area in the fall of 1999. The virus, transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected
mosquito, has quickly spread across the country. The West Nile virus was first documented in Illinois in
September of 2001. By the end of 2002, Illinois led the country with over 800 confirmed cases of West
Nile virus in humans and sixty-three deaths. Eighteen of the confirmed cases occurred in Will County. A
West Nile Response Plan was adopted by the Will County Health Department in June, 2002.

Risk Characterization
The common characteristic of most public health emergencies is that they adversely impact, or have the
potential to adversely impact, a large number of people. Public health emergencies can be statewide,
regional, or localized in scope and magnitude. These emergencies can occur as primary events by
themselves, or they may be caused by another disaster or emergency. Along with infectious diseases,
natural, technological, and societal hazardous occurrences can pose secondary hazards that threaten the
public’s health. Storms, floods, earthquakes, chemical spills, nuclear accidents, and sabotage can damage
infrastructure disabling water, power, transportation, and communication facilities. This can lead to
contaminated water and food supplies, subject the population to extreme temperatures, expose people to
deadly toxins or radiation, delay the receipt of medical equipment or supplies, or prevent the public from
receiving information important to their safety.
Assessment and planning are needed to identify public health concerns that could occur as a result of a
hazard and to prepare mitigating steps to handle such concerns. It is through surveillance and population-
based interventions that disease and injury are best prevented. Observation and monitoring systems are
used to develop data related to health determinants. This information along with the process of
developing policy options and planning are essential to prevent and avert community wide health
problems before they spread.

Per the World Health Organization, approximately 40 infectious diseases have been discovered which
include SARS, MERS, Ebola, chikungunya, avian flu, swine flu, and Zika. These emerging diseases
are a concern as people travel farther around the world, live in denser populated areas, and come in
closer contact with wild animals. The most common agents of infection are viruses or bacteria.
West Nile Virus: Usually spread by mosquitoes, a mild case of this virus will mimic the flu and
most people fully recover from it. A severe case can be life threatening. No
drugs or vaccines are available to treat West Nile Virus. In more severe cases,
intensive supportive therapy is indicated, often involving hospitalization,
intravenous fluids, airway management, respiratory support (ventilator),
prevention of secondary infections (pneumonia, urinary tract), and good nursing
care.

The virus is present in Will County; thus, WCHD continues to monitor, collect,
and test mosquito traps throughout the county. They also monitor and collect
viable dead birds that are submitted to the state lab for analysis. Through
surveillance, education, and interagency coordination, WCHD hopes to prevent
illness, disability, or possible death from West Nile Virus.
WCHD’s Environmental Health Department promotes awareness of the effect of
West Nile Virus through multiple communication sources. Information includes
how to prevent the spread of the virus by reducing areas of stagnant water where
mosquitoes breed and protection to prevent mosquito bites.
Ebola Virus This virus is a rare and deadly disease. It was first detected in 1976 in Zaire,
Disease: Africa. Researchers have been unsuccessful in confirming the source of the virus
and it may be that the virus existed before this outbreak. Since 1976, outbreaks
have occurred in Central and Western Africa.
The 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic in West Africa is the largest outbreak in history.
It began in a rural region of Guinea. For the first time, it quickly spread from
isolated to urban areas and bordering countries as a result of insufficient
surveillance and public health infrastructure. The World Health Organization
(WHO) declared the epidemic a Public Health Emergency of International
Concern (PHEIC) on August 8, 2014.
Will County Health Department responded to this potential threat by
coordinating with partners at the local, regional, and national levels to develop
response plans to handle evaluation, monitoring, and treatment of exposed
patients; train staff in CDC procedures and guidance; and contain the spread of
the virus.
Zika Virus: Located in the midwestern United States, Illinois is considered to be at low risk
of widespread, year-long transmission of Zika virus. The Aedes
aegypti mosquito, which is the primary vector for Zika virus transmission, is
rarely found in Illinois. The primary risks to Illinois residents for becoming
482
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 242
infected with Zika Virus are (1) from travel to and from areas with active Zika
virus transmission or (2) individuals who have unprotected sex after one or both
sexual partners have traveled to an area with active Zika virus transmission and
been infected.
IDPH developed a robust vector surveillance program involving LHDs and
Mosquito Abatement Districts (MAD) due to heavy West Nile virus activity in
Illinois beginning in 2002. The vector surveillance program affords IDPH the
ability to disseminate Zika virus educational materials quickly, along with
recommendations for mosquito collection and disease surveillance as
appropriate.
Currently, the only Zika virus cases in Illinois are travel associated.
Transmission can occur sexually or congenitally. Although very unlikely,
infected people who come to or return to Illinois from affected areas could infect
mosquitoes if they are bitten while the virus is still circulating in their blood
(viremic). However, because the Aedes aegypti is rarely present in Illinois, it is
unlikely that locally sustained transmission would occur.
Influenza: On average, 3-11 percent of U.S. residents will have symptomatic flu illness. Flu
is spread by person-to-person contact. This is commonly a result of respiratory
droplets released during coughing and sneezing. Some of these influenza cases
will be fatal. Each year, the flu claims on average 36,000 American lives. The
2017-2018 flu season experienced an estimated 80,000 deaths.
Healthy adults are usually not at risk for serious complications. Typically, the
elderly, small children, those with weakened immune systems, and those affected
by other illnesses are especially susceptible. Though, populations vulnerable to a
specific influenza strain will vary. Vaccine is available each year for seasonal flu
and vaccination is effective because the type of virus we are exposed to each
winter can be reliably predicted.

Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 243
Pandemic: A pandemic is a disease that attacks or affects the population of an extensive
area. This is sometimes an entire country or continent. Each year, different
strains of influenza are labeled as potential pandemic threats. Pandemics occur
three to four times a century and can take place any season.
An influenza pandemic is a global outbreak of disease that occurs when a new
Influenza A virus appears or “emerges” in the human population, causes serious
illness, and spreads easily among people worldwide. Experts predict an infection
rate of 25 to 50 percent of the population, depending on the severity of the virus
strain.
Pandemics are different from seasonal outbreaks or “epidemics” of influenza.
Seasonal outbreaks are caused by subtypes of influenza viruses that already
circulate among people, whereas pandemic outbreaks are caused by new
subtypes, by subtypes that have never circulated among people, or by subtypes
that have not circulated among people for a long time. Pandemic influenza tends
to occur in waves. The reasons for multiple waves of varying impact are not
precisely understood, but they probably include adaptation of the virus to its new
host, demographic or geographic variation, seasonality, and the overall immunity

of the population. Past influenza pandemics have led to high levels of illness,
death, social disruption, and economic loss.
A vaccine against pandemic flu may not be available at the start of a pandemic.
New types of viruses must be accurately identified, and producing an effective
vaccine may take six months.
Swine and Pigs may be infected with influenza viruses that are different from human flu
Avian Influenza: viruses. Swine flu viruses spread among pigs and, while rare, they can spread
from pigs to people too. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
is concerned about a new flu virus that has been found in U.S. pigs that has
infected people too. This virus is called H3N2v when it infects people. Most
cases have happened in people exhibiting pigs at fairs. Exposure to pigs,
especially close contact with pigs, is the main risk factor for infection with this
virus. While most illness has been mild, some people have been hospitalized.
Avian flu affects birds and is transmitted most commonly to humans by birds or
through an intermediate host. Human infections with avian influenza (AI, or
“bird flu”) are rare but do occur, most commonly after exposure to infected
poultry (bird-to-human spread). Limited person-to-person spread of bird flu is
thought to have occurred rarely in the past.
H5N1 is a highly pathogenic, highly disease causing, avian (bird) flu virus that
has caused serious outbreaks in domestic poultry in parts of Asia and the Middle
East. Although H5N1 does not usually infect humans, nearly 700 cases of
human cases of H5N1 have been reported from 15 countries since 2003.
♦ Most human cases of “highly pathogenic“ H5N1 virus infection have
occurred in people who had recent contact with sick or dead poultry that
were infected with H5N1 viruses. About 60% of people infected with the
virus died from their illness.
Unlike other types of flu, H5N1 usually does not spread between people.
There have been no reported infections with these viruses in birds,
poultry, or people in the United States.
485
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 245
You cannot get infected with these viruses from properly handled and
cooked poultry or eggs.
Human infections with a new avian influenza virus, A (H7N9), continue to be
reported in China. The virus has been detected in poultry in China as well.
While mild illness in human cases has been seen, most patients have had severe
respiratory illness and some people have died. No cases of H7N9 outside of
China have been reported. Most important, however, is that this transmission not
be sustained (ongoing). The new H7N9 virus has not been detected in people or
birds in the United States.
Coronaviruses: The name coronavirus comes from its appearance under the microscope, the
viruses have a spiky or crown-like (corona) appearance. Until recently, SARS-
CoV was the only member of the coronavirus family known to cause death or
severe respiratory disease in humans. The other viruses in this group cause mild
upper-respiratory infections in humans and are associated with respiratory,
gastrointestinal, and neurologic diseases in animals. One reason that SARS-CoV
might have been more lethal than other coronaviruses is that it appears to
interfere with an enzyme system in humans that is critical for regulating body
fluid balance. Therefore, the virus could disrupt normal functioning of the lungs
by blocking this enzyme system and allowing fluid to leak into the air sacs of the
lungs resulting in severe respiratory illness.
A new member of the coronavirus family emerged in the fall of 2012 in the
Arabian Peninsula. The new virus has been named Middle East respiratory
syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Although MERS-CoV is distinct from
SARS-CoV, the disease caused by the new virus Middle East respiratory
syndrome (MERS) is similar to SARS in that it causes a severe respiratory illness
that can be fatal in humans.
The first and vast majority of cases of MERS have occurred in Saudi Arabia. As
of late July 2013, approximately 90 cases of MERS infection were reported to the
486
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 246
WHO, with about half of the cases resulting in death. MERS-CoV appears to
spread between people who are in close contact.
Now a global pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the
novel coronavirus Covid-19 to be a public health emergency of international
concern. It is so new (December, 2019) and widespread, researchers around the
world are rushing to learn about the virus, including exactly how easily it spreads
and how deadly it is. Testing to identify infection has been developed and
researchers now are working on treatments to effectively combat the symptoms
and a vaccine to protect against the virus.
Centered in Wuhan, Hubei, China, it was originally suggested Covid-19 likely
originated in bats but made it's "jump" to people through a yet-to-be-identified
animal, which acted as a bridge between bats and humans. Now the U.S. and
other countries are investigating the possibility that poor research lab procedures
led to a worker being infected who then exposed others. The virus was then
transmitted globally by international travel. Travel quarantines have been
instituted by many countries including the U.S. and the outbreak has become a
very dangerous situation. Information from China on the outbreak is limited and
experts with WHO and the United States have not been admitted into the country.
The Covid-19 global pandemic is an example of the dangers of a new virus and
its uncontrollable consequences. Covid-19 has impacted our daily life by
demonstrating the catastrophic effect of an uncontrolled dangerous virus. It has
halted the normal operations of our healthcare, economic, educational,
manufacturing, and political systems. Because the virus is highly infectious and
deadly to those with comorbidities, the U.S. along with many other countries
closed non-essential businesses and required its citizens to shelter in place.
Medical facilities delayed elective treatments and prioritized care for Covid-19
patients. Businesses closed or workers were directed to work from home.
Schools closed and turned to online learning. Businesses and manufacturing
retooled to provide medical personal protective equipment (PPE). Congress

released emergency funding to small businesses and workers to sustain them
through the crisis. Trillions of dollars are being spent to develop testing,
effective treatment, and a vaccine.
Hepatitis: A disease affecting the liver, hepatitis can affect anyone. Hepatitis is usually
spread by person-to-person contact. Three types are common to the U.S.:
Hepatitis A, B, and C with B and C being most prevalent.
Hepatitis A (HAV) is a liver disease that can affect anyone. It lasts from a
few weeks to several months. It does not lead to chronic infection.
Transmission may occur through ingestion of fecal matter, even in
microscopic amounts, from close person-to-person contact or ingestion of
contaminated food or drinks.

2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 248
Hepatitis B (HBV) ranges in severity from a mild illness, lasting a few weeks
(acute), to a serious long-term (chronic) illness that can lead to liver disease or
liver cancer. Transmission is through contact with infected bodily fluids.
Hepatitis C is caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV infection
sometimes results in an acute illness, but most often becomes a chronic
condition that can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer. HCV is
spread by contact with the blood of an infected person.
Foodborne Illness: Each year, approximately 800 foodborne disease outbreaks are reported resulting
in 15,000 cases of illness and 20 deaths. Common culprits include bacteria,
parasites, and viruses.
Symptoms range from mild to serious. They include:
Upset stomach
Abdominal cramps
Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea
Fever
Dehydration
Harmful bacteria are the most common cause of foodborne illness. Foods may
have some bacteria on them when you buy them. Raw meat may become
contaminated during slaughter. Fruits and vegetables may become contaminated
when they are growing or when they are processed. But it can also happen in
your kitchen if you leave food out for more than 2 hours at room temperature or
power outages knock out refrigeration units.

Contamination: Water sources may become contaminated due to natural hazards. Flood,
tornadoes/thunderstorms, ice storms, ice jams or melting ice, etc. can cause
contaminated run-off from floods or debris to filter into water sources. Because
of an extensive flood area and the speed and direction of ground water flow,
wells may not be a safe source of water for many months after a flood. The well
can become contaminated with bacteria or other contaminants. Using
contaminated water for drinking, cooking, or bathing can cause severe illness.
Waste water from malfunctioning septic tanks or chemicals seeping into the
ground can contaminate the ground water even after well water is tested and
found to be safe. It is necessary to take long range precautions, including
repeated testing, to protect the safety of drinking water.
Bioterrorism: A Bioterrorism attack is the deliberate release of viruses, bacteria, or other
germs (agents) used to cause illness or death in people, animals, or plants.
These agents are typically found in nature, but it is possible that they could be
changed to increase their ability to cause disease, make them resistant to current
medicines, or to increase their ability to spread into the environment. Biological
agents can be spread through the air, through water, or in food. Terrorists may
use biological agents because they can be extremely difficult to detect and do
not cause illness for several hours to several days.
Surveillance is the cornerstone for Bioterrorism and Pandemic Influenza
Preparedness. Early recognition and reporting of any disease outbreak, along
with rapid implementation of post-attack prophylaxis (preventive
medicine/vaccination), are the two most critical means of reducing losses. In
the event of a public health emergency, the Will County Pharmaceutical
Distribution Plan provides a multi-jurisdictional response for mass distribution
of pharmaceuticals (antibiotic medications) to the entirety of Will County and
any other areas of responsibility.

Agroterrorism: Agroterrorism is defined as “the deliberate introduction of an animal or plant
disease for the purpose of generating fear, causing economic losses, or
undermining social stability.” It represents a tactic to attack the economic
stability of the United States. Killing livestock and plants or contaminating food
can help terrorists cause economic crises in the agriculture and food industries.
Secondary goals include social unrest and loss of confidence in government.
Because it lacks the drama and spectacle of more common terrorist violence,
such as bombings and murders, agroterrorism has remained a secondary
consideration, and no documented attacks in the homeland have occurred since
9/11.
Within Will County, potential targets for agroterrorism exist through its farming
and transportation industry
Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious and potentially life-threatening disease caused
by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis being transmitted through the
air. While it can affect any part of the body (such as the brain, the kidneys or the
spine), TB usually affects the lungs.
Although both preventable and curable, tuberculosis once was the leading cause
of death in the United States. Today in Illinois, less than 30 deaths a year are
attributed to tuberculosis and the number of cases in the state has fallen more
than 40 percent in the past 10 years, reaching an all-time low of 320 in 2014.

Impact: High
Critical Facilities
Critical facilities could be impacted because of the loss of people to run them by a widespread
infectious agent occurring naturally or intentially/unintentially spread by terrorist, animals/insects, or
people traveling the world. Between 15-35 percent of the U.S. population could be affected by the
influenza pandemic. Workers may be unable to work because they are ill, may have died from the
infection, or may need to care for infected family members. Accordingly, the ability of critical
facilities to provide service will be seriously affected due to the severe reduction in workforce
capacity.

Health and Safety
Many scientists believe it is only a matter of time until the next influenza pandemic occurs. The
severity of the next pandemic cannot be predicted, but modeling studies suggest the impact of a
pandemic on the United States could be substantial. In the absence of any control measures
(vaccination or drugs), it has been
estimated that in the United States, a
“medium-level” pandemic could cause
89,000-207,000 deaths, 314,000-734,000
hospitalizations, 18-42 million outpatient
visits, and another 20-47 million sick
people.
Immunizations are a cost-effective
method in preventing infectious disease
and childhood immunization programs
provide a high return on investment.
Routine childhood immunization
schedule saves thousands of lives,
prevents millions of cases of disease,
reduces direct health care costs by
billions, and saves billions in indirect
healthcare costs.
Economic Impact
Trust for America's Health’s (TFAH)
March 2007 report Pandemic Flu and
Potential for U.S. Economic Recession
finds a severe pandemic flu outbreak could result in the second worst recession in the U.S. since
World War II. The U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) could drop over 5.5 percent, leading to an
estimated $683 billion loss.

The current coronavirus 2019-nCoV is not only having a health effect on the world but also an
economic effect as travel is restricted and work places are closed to prevent the spread of the virus.
This influences the rest of the world impacting travel, import/export of raw materials and goods,
manufacturing, demand for services, and increased healthcare costs as countries take precautions to
prevent the spread of the virus.
Per the CDC:
The U.S. economy is better protected when public health threats are quickly identified and
contained. CDC’s global health security efforts to stop outbreaks where they start protects the
health of people worldwide. This, in turn, protects demand for U.S. exports and the jobs they
support. Strategic investments in capacity building and preparedness for health security
purposes must remain a national priority of governments and a key commitment for multilateral
agencies, development banks, non-governmental organizations, and private sector stakeholders
worldwide.

Future Occurrence
The world is seeing an increase in infectious disease outbreaks as world-wide trade and travel
increases. This has an impact on health as well as economics. The World Bank estimates severe
pandemics cost approximately $570 billion or 0.7% of global income.

Will County is a major hub for transportation of raw materials and products which could act as a
potential method for transporting in an infectious agent. New infectious diseases continue to be
detected and infectious disease must be studied in a global context because of increased international
travel and migration, import of foods and agricultural practices, and continued threat of bioterrorism.
Studying previous outbreaks, five elements emerge as ways to mitigate their impact on social,
economic, and business disruptions:
Preparedness: Strengthen partnerships and develop pro-active measures based on past outcomes
to ensure a rapid, coordinated response to future outbreaks.

Value: Create long-term value by joining private-sector business objectives with public-
sector needs in the development of mitigation measures.
Trust: Build trustworthy relationships before an incident to increase effectiveness in
response during an outbreak.
Agility: Develop flexible plans and communication channels that allow partners to quickly
work together in an incident
Innovation: Continue to collaborate with partners to bring new ideas and solutions to
emergency management of public health incidents.

ENEMY ATTACK
Hazard Characterization
Enemy attack is any hostile action taken against the United States by foreign forces that result in the
destruction of military and/or civilian targets. It is conventional war as seen in WWII that could occur
through accident, miscalculation, an irrational act, or a deliberate act. The attacking foreign forces are
more clearly defined than in a terrorist attack. Foreign forces are identified as an organized government
with military forces rather than a pocket of militants or extremists. The methods of attack could include
explosives, nuclear arms, or chemical or biological weapons.
History
No occurrence has occurred in the U.S. since September 11, 2001; however, all areas of the U.S. are at
risk at any time for direct or secondary effects.
Risk Characterization
Explosives would be life threatening and damaging to public and private structures. Nuclear weapons
would have devastating and far-reaching effects. The blast overpressure, fire, and radioactive fallout
could affect millions of lives and completely destroy property and infrastructure. The effects of chemical
and/or biological weapons would differ depending on the agent used. Chemical agents include blister,
blood gases, lung irritants, and nerve agents. Biological weapons contain living organisms that can cause
disease or death but are dependent on their ability to reproduce. The threat of nuclear, chemical, and
biological weapons is worrisome as their development and delivery systems are improved by Third World
nations desiring more control.
The above reflects our common vision of enemy attack which conjures a “war” type scenario. Since 9/11,
computer technology has evolved and advanced to become a necessary part of everyday life for
communication, finance, manufacturing, education, research, etc. Through cyber-technology, people are
able to communicate and access data systems from around the world. Information is now held
electronically on the “cloud” which is storage of data on remote servers accessible from the internet. The
dark side of this technology is that our enemies may be able to access or “hack” into the stored data to
attack and disrupt everyday systems.

Back in 2016, U.S. non-essential diplomatic staff were called home from Havana, Cuba. American and
Canadian diplomatic personnel were experiencing the sudden onset of concussion like problems that
included hearing loss, memory loss and nausea. Many theories as to the cause were considered including
a sonic attack or toxins by the Cuban government but were never proved.
Another form of “attack” may be the spread of disinformation to manipulate our political system. Much
focus was placed on our 2016 presidential election and the attempt of Russians to disrupt that election.
There are many social media platforms on the internet which are not censured in our country. Thus, it is
easy for attackers to post information, true or untrue, that can influence the thinking of the public.
As technology grows, enemy attack may look quite different from war tactics of the past. Our
government and business entities must work continually to protect and secure their stored data. This new
source of attack may be against financial institutions, government, communication systems, research labs,
manufacturers, etc. So today’s enemy attack may be a shutdown of our banking system, a disruption of
communication systems, drone attacks, sonic attacks, theft of intellectual property or highly classified
government documents, or an interruption of power and water/wastewater utilities.
Impact: Medium
Future Occurrence
The events of September 11th are evidence that the threat of enemy attack is real. Local law
enforcement must work closely with state and federal agencies to identify and coordinate response to
potential threats from enemies. Local law enforcement must be watchful of individuals or groups
who may be:
Recording or monitoring activities
Attempts to access and manipulate electronic or social media systems
Trying to obtain information about military operations
Testing security barriers or procedures
Acquiring supplies for use as weapons, uniforms, or other controlled items
Acting suspiciously or appearing to be out of place
Attempting dry or trial runs to test their plan of attack
Deploying assets to be used in an attack

Potential targets within Will County are an army training facility, raceway venue, numerous
manufacturing/refining companies, intermodal sites and warehouses, and nuclear facilities that may
draw the interest of an enemy. Electronic information systems are now another potential target.
Careful observance of suspicious activities and coordination with federal law enforcement may
prevent attacks from happening in the future.

TERRORIST ATTACK
Hazard Characterization
The Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as “... an intentional, unlawful use of force and
violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any
segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.” The Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) adds that terrorism can be domestic or international. FEMA’s definition of terrorism incorporates
the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction
(WMD) which would include biological,
chemical, nuclear, and radiological weapons;
arson, incendiary, explosive, and armed
attacks; industrial sabotage and intentional
hazardous materials releases; agro-terrorism;
and cyberterrorism. The intent of these
activities is to instill fear into a community
and cause death or serious injury to people or
significant damage to property or information
systems.
According to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), there is no
universal definition of terrorism, despite
decades of debate, and the term can be
interpreted in many ways. Common usage of
the term has become a catchall that includes
political violence and non-political criminals.
Complicating the issue of defining terrorism
even further, U.S. statutes do not include
terrorism as a crime. Accordingly, terrorists
are arrested for elements of their terrorist
acts, such as murder or weapons violations.
Terrorism
Components Description
Violence/
Force
Violence/Force only needs to be threatened
as long as the act is perceived to be real.
Violence is utilized to achieve maximum
publicity in order to create psychological
effects beyond the immediate physical
damage.
Victims as
Pawns
Victims are not necessarily the direct targets
but are used as pawns to cause fear in those
who witness the attack. The plight of the
victim is intended to frighten onlookers into
a course of political or social action. The
randomness of the choice of victim increases
fear and anxiety.
Fear/Terror
Psychological techniques are used to bring
about conformity of behavior. Fear is the
actual agent of change. Fear erodes people’s
trust in the government to protect them and
they push officials to fulfill the terrorist’s
demands.
Observers as
Audience
Terrorists are trying to gain the attention of
society, not necessarily the victim. Those
who observe the act are the targets or
“audience”. Media coverage can further the
terrorist’s cause by broadcasting the act and
the terrorist’s agenda.
Political or
Social Change
The intention of the act is to generate the
public’s fear or distrust in the government in
order to force change in political, social,
economic, religious, or ideological beliefs in
order to facilitate the terrorist’s desired
change.

Definition
In order to assess vulnerability to terrorism, a common understanding of what terrorism is must be
deciphered. It is probably best to agree that the meaning of terrorism changes over time as political
and social settings change. The meaning of terrorism may need to be adaptable just as terrorists are
adaptable to events and surroundings in order to further their cause.
Most definitions studied incorporate the key elements of violence, victims, fear, observers, and
political/social causes. By accepting these five elements as a basis for the meaning of terrorism, it
will allow us to move forward to assess potential vulnerability to terrorist acts.
Many state and local law enforcement agencies have a broader definition of terrorism than the FBI
whose statistics point to low levels of terrorist activity. Unlike the FBI, these agencies recognize
right-wing extremists (Neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic, anti-federalist) and identify specific organizations
Types of
Terrorists Description
International
Violent acts that violate criminal laws of the U.S. or of any state; appear to be
intended to coerce, influence policy, or affect conduct of a government by mass
destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; occur primarily outside the territorial
jurisdiction of the U.S.
Domestic
Local, national terrorist acts by individuals or groups acting independently of any
government support to further ideological goals such as political, social, racial, or
environmental in nature.
Left or Right-
wing
Left-wing groups strive to reform or overthrow the established government for the
greater freedom or well-being of the common man. Their actions tend to be
symbolic; rarely do they act to cause widespread, arbitrary casualties. Right-wing groups endeavor to maintain the power of the state or to preserve the
advantages held by a certain group. There is often a religious, racial, or politically
paranoid survivalist dimension to their ideas. They can be extremely violent.
Special
Interests
Groups may support “liberal” or “conservative” issues; like left-wing groups, less
lethal in their actions. Special interest groups include those who may oppose
legalized abortion or nuclear power, radical environmentalists, and militant animal
rights activists.
Anarchists Perceives themselves as the purest of terrorists, live to destroy state’s authority and
strive for complete freedom. Their politics are the most extreme.
Neo-Fascists Share characteristics with communism. They are revolutionary, look to overturn the
entire order and create a new order of the most far-reaching sort.

(anti-abortion, animal right, environmentalist) as the most likely sources of terrorism within their
communities.
A broader definition of terrorism at the local level may be a good thing. In the assessment process, a
broader definition of terrorism may allow planners to identify a more expansive range of potential
terrorists, targets, methods, weapons, etc. A wider range of terrorist possibilities requires local
planners to prepare a more comprehensive plan to avert or mitigate such disasters. Terrorists tend to
prefer situations that maximize the element of surprise. A community that has carefully identified its
most likely targets and instituted protective measures against terrorism is a less desirable victim to
terrorists. By having an understanding of the broader range of possible terrorist methods, more
expansive methods of detection, aversion, training, response, and recovery can be developed in order
to secure the safety of the community and avert the potential of terrorism.
Per the FBI, terrorism has evolved since September 11, 2001. International terrorism is still a serious
threat and domestic terrorism threats persist. Since then, factors contributing to the changes in
terrorist threats include:
Lone Offenders: Threats have evolved from large group attacks to lone-offender attacks.
Individuals tend to radicalized online and quickly evolve towards violence.
Lone-offenders are difficult to identify, investigate, and disrupt because they
have no clear group affiliation or guidance. The FBI relies on partnerships
and tips from the public to identify and thwart lone-offender attacks.
Internet and International and domestic violent extremists have a large presence on the
Social Media: internet through messaging platforms and online images, videos, and
publications. Extremist groups are now able to recruit and radicalize
individuals receptive to their messaging. Through the internet and social
media, terrorists now have access to individuals to carry out attacks on the
U.S. This allows groups, amongst others, like the Islamic State of Iraq and
ash-Sham (ISIS) embolden sympathizers in the U.S. or abroad to attack in their
location or join the group as foreign fighters.
503
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 263
Weapons
Bombs, firearms, and limited range rockets continue to be the most common weapons used by today’s
terrorists. These weapons are easy to obtain, transport, and use. Occurring more frequently is the use
of secondary explosives to increase casualties. The concern is the growing use of unconventional
weapons. These include chemical, biological, and radiological weapons, more commonly referred to
as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). These weapons have increased capacity to kill large
numbers of people. The use of WMDs is limited because they are more difficult to obtain and handle.
Just the thought of their use creates massive fear and may make the use of such weapons more
appealing to terrorists.
Targets
Terrorists target infrastructure that are more critical to daily operations and are harder to restore to
service. Interrupting and disabling services that the public depends on for health, economic, and
social activities brings attention and recognition that terrorist groups seek. The impact of the attack is
furthered when critical infrastructures are interconnected. With advances in communication and
technology, more and more critical infrastructures are becoming dependent upon the others. The
literature on terrorism shows that some critical infrastructures are targeted more often than others
because of the nature of the services they provide. Areas most vulnerable to terrorism include
transportation systems, industry, utilities, and entertainment/recreation venues. Attacking these
critical infrastructures disables important services the public depends on or may cause further damage
to the population and structures surrounding the attack area.

History
The Our World in Data website describes the occurrence of deaths from terrorism as very few in most
years, usually below 0.01% of all deaths. However, 2001 was the exception where 9/11 was the world’s
most fatal terrorist event of recent times accounting for 0.12% of all deaths that year. They point out that
“having a few deaths from terrorism in one year is not a predictor for the next.” 4
The Global Terrorism Database (GTD) has a comprehensive database of terrorist incidents. It identifies
over 2,900 incidents within the U.S. since 1970. Incidents in the U.S. was relatively high in the 1970s
and quiet in the following decades except in 1995 and 2001. The last five years shows a small but steady
increase in U.S. terrorist deaths.5
Since 2014, there has been a significant increase in the number of terror attacks against religious figures
and institutions in North America. Attacks by Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and Animal Liberation Front
(ALF) have carried out over 300 attacks since 2002 and account for 40% of all attacks in North America
but none of these attacks resulted in deaths. The deadliest attacks, though fewer, have been carried out by
jihadi-inspired extremist organizations resulting in 96 fatalities since 2002.6
In 2018, 57 incidents occurred in the U.S. with 28 committed by far-right extremists, 27 by unknown
perpetrators, and 2 by jihadi-extremist. Five deaths occurred in those 57 attacks. The deadliest attack
occurred in a synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA. An anti-Semitic extremist killed 11 and wounded 7 others.7
Incidents of terrorism have been minimal within Will County. Two groups are known to operate within
Will County. One is the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) whose cause is to support animal rights. ALF is
described by their founder, Ronnie Lee, as a “…non-violent guerilla organization, dedicated to the
liberation of animals from all forms of cruelty and persecution at the hands of mankind.” Activists turned
from legal tactics of hunt disruption to illegal tactics of sabotage when they grew weary of being
assaulted and jailed and sought more effective tactics. ALF migrated to the U.S. in the early 1980s and is
now an international movement in over twenty countries.

ALF is a loosely associated collection of cells of people who go underground and violate the law on
behalf of animals. They break and enter into rescue animals, and they also destroy property in order to
prevent further harm done to animals and to weaken exploitation industries economically. Official ALF
guidelines are: (1) to liberate animals from places of abuse; (2) to inflict economic damage to industries
that profit from animal exploitation; (3) to reveal the horrors and atrocities committed against animals
behind locked doors, and (4) to take all necessary precautions against harming any human or nonhuman
animals. ALF claimed responsibility for the April, 2003, fire at an exotic meat market located in
Lockport.
The other terrorist group operating within Will County reported by law enforcement officials is a right-
wing white supremacist group. In the recent past, they have staged rallies and demonstrations in support
of their ideas.
Potentially threatening incidents have occurred that involve transportation sites. These occurrences
include photographic surveillance within Will County, bomb threats to locks and dams, suspicious aircraft
flights, and suspicious individuals/vehicles identified within Illinois.
Risk Characterization
There are many variations within the types of terrorist activities. While natural hazards may be readily
identifiable and somewhat predictable, terrorist activities cannot be reliably predicted. Terrorists are not
under any one person or nation’s control, but identify with various national or international communities,
religions, cults, or philosophies. Thus, terrorist type activities can occur anywhere at any time. As a
nation, we have experienced occurrences of terrorism. The Boston Marathon bombing, Columbine High
School shootings, attacks of 9/11, anthrax mailings, Washington, D.C. area sniper shootings, and the
Pittsburgh, PA synagogue shooting are examples of how difficult it is to anticipate when and where such
random acts of human-caused disasters may occur. As the population of Will County grows and more
industrial and sports/entertainment complexes are developed, the threat and incident of a terrorist attack
may become more attractive, more probable.
Specific threats of terrorism have not been made against any critical infrastructure within Will County.
Federal officials have issued warnings of potential attacks against the chemical, oil and gas, nuclear,
electrical power, and agricultural industries. International and domestic terrorist groups tend to strike at
poorly defended targets.

Environmental activist groups are very active throughout Illinois. They have committed numerous
criminal acts including arson and criminal damage to property. Groups, such as the Earth Liberation
Front (ELF), target any commercial or industrial venture that would disrupt land, water, or other
environmental features. They are highly organized and practice leaderless resistance principles.
Members are hardcore fanatics some of who are accomplished arsonists, vandals, and saboteurs.
The Department of Homeland Security communicates timely, detailed information about terrorist threats
to the American public through the National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS). (See:
https://www.dhs.gov/national-terrorism-advisory-system)
Will County EMA participates in the Illinois Terrorism Task Force (ITTF). The ITTF is a partnership
between local, state, and federal government entities along with private and non-governmental
organizations. Their purpose is to develop long-term solutions to the threats and realities of terrorism and
all hazards. Annually the ITTF publishes a report detailing the accomplishments of the year and detailing
the initiatives for the coming year. A sample of their work is the Recommendations of the Illinois
Terrorism Task Force School Safety Working Group to provide school with a guide to deal with active
shooter threats.

mmendations%20-%20Final%20draft%20040318.pdf)
Impact: Medium
Damage to Buildings
Bombs are terrorists’ weapon of choice. Bombs, along with incendiary devices, can cause serious
damage or destruction to buildings.
Critical Facilities
Terrorists are drawn to critical facilities. They are highly visible or vulnerable targets, which can
attract attention to the terrorists’ cause and instill fear into the public witnessing the act. Terrorists
can damage or destroy these facilities with bombs or incendiary devices, but they also can disrupt the
function of critical facilities by infiltrating the electronic infrastructure of these facilities.
Cyberterrorism threatens the inter-connected networks that regulate the flow of power, water,
financial services, medical care, telecommunication networks, and transportation systems.

Health and Safety
The threat of harm to the health and safety of human beings is part of the psychology of terrorism.
The mere threat of harm may be sufficient for the terrorists to further their cause.
Economic Impact
Impairing the economic structure of a society can be the intent of the terrorist act. By damaging the
business and critical infrastructure directly or by threat, the terrorist gain the attention they seek to
promote their cause.
Future Occurrence
Will County is vulnerable to terrorism. Its location in the Chicago metropolitan area and the
infrastructure that supports the function of that metropolitan area make it a potentially attractive target
to terrorists. Transportation systems, manufacturing industries, power plants, pipeline systems, and
entertainment venues are some of the potential targets that terrorists may to drawn to for publicizing
their cause. Details of the critical infrastructure that may be at risk by terrorism may be found in the
Will County Terrorism Vulnerability Assessment.

CIVIL DISTURBANCE
Hazard Characterization
Civil disturbances are incidents that intend to disrupt a community to the degree that police intervention is
required to maintain public safety. Civil disturbances can include prison or institutional rebellions,
disruptive political gatherings, violent labor disputes, urban protests or riots, demonstrations, or problems
at large-scale events resulting in police intervention and arrests. Civil disturbances can occur anytime but
tend to be more frequent during summer months when the hot, humid weather places a stress on the
public.
People in the U.S. have the right to assemble in protest. Most protesters respect the laws and are
nonviolent. Civil disturbance may be spontaneous or may erupt because of rising tensions. Some civil
disturbances may even be planned to gain more attention to their cause. The threat from a disturbance
varies by the type, severity, and range of the event. Public welfare and property are at risk along with
infrastructure services such as electricity, water supply, public transportation, communications, etc.
Government buildings, universities, military bases, nuclear power plants, and correctional facilities tend
to be targeted the most. As the profile of Will County points out, Will County has all of these types of
facilities and entities. Thus, preparation to effectively deal with civil disturbances is important.
History
No documentation of recent civil disturbances is available.
Risk Characterization
The economic impact to urban areas during civil unrest and following such events can be profound.
Direct impacts include looting and smashed windows as well as endangering shop owners and customers.
Indirect economic impacts result from the loss of business when potential customers do not approach
businesses for extended periods of time. Customer impressions and habits can change from the
experience of a single threatening event.
Civil Disturbances or Demonstrations can be identified in three (3) categories:
Peaceful, Non-Obstructive Demonstrations
Non-Violent, Disruptive Demonstrations
Violent, Disruptive Demonstrations
511
Will County Emgerncy Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 4: Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessment
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 4 - 271
The severity of civil disturbance depends on the nature of the disturbance. A localized civil disturbance
involves a small segment of the population, for instance, workers who choose to strike and establish a
picket line, or some other small scale demonstration, have a low severity rating. In the instance of a low
severity civil disturbance, police might be called upon to ensure that protestors did not block traffic
corridors or intrude on private property. A moderately severe civil disturbance would be one wherein the
protests disrupt nearby businesses and possibly cause some property damage. In this instance, police
intervention would be required to restore order without employing chemical agents or physical force. A
severe civil disturbance would involve rioting, arson, looting, and assault.
Violent behavior is frequently focused on civil values that include property, industry, and services.
Being in a crowd may influence an individual’s behavior causing them to act in ways they normally
would not.
Crowds may make an individual feel anonymous and invulnerable
A large crowd may overpower an individual’s more reasonable behavior and encourage them to
act out with the group in a violent or destructive manner
A crowd’s disorderly behavior may influence the behavior of the authorities causing them to react
aggressively to the crowd’s behavior
Civil disturbance can, in extreme cases, cause extensive social disruption, loss of jobs, death, and property
damage. These may result either from those involved in the action or initiated by those in higher
authority in response to what they perceive as a threat to either the status quo or their own authority. In
addition, the government may also curtail certain civil liberties even to the eventual imposition of martial
law. Looting and general vandalism are the most common activities associated with civil disturbance.
Arson is also quite common and can quickly spread due to slow response times of overwhelmed fire
departments. Transportation routes can become blocked making it difficult for non-rioters to leave the
area and difficult for the emergency response personnel to arrive. Long-term effects may include a local
depressed economy, environmental damage, social disruption, and long lasting animosity between the
contending groups.

Civil disturbance is difficult to mitigate because its occurrence can be intense, destructive, and
spontaneous. The best way to mitigate is to prepare.
Identify needed preparations before an emergency situation occurs – who are potential
demonstrators and their capabilities, what are the controversial issues, where are the sites crowds
may gather, and expect crowds to gather at “trigger events”
Create a plan that coordinates with existing laws, responders, resources, and plans
Develop a communication plan and work with the community to avoid civil unrest
Ensure plans accommodate the needs of individuals with disabilities or access/functional needs
Encourage the public to register for local emergency alerts
Educate the public to be aware of their environment and recognize and report concerns
Encourage the public to learn first aid
Exercise the plan and use lessons learned to amend the plan as needed
Identify how to assess damage, salvage undamaged goods, and cleanup the location following an
incident.
Impact: Low
Damage to Buildings
Buildings and property can be damaged or destroyed by participants of civil disturbances or fire if it
ensues.
Critical Facilities
Disruption of services such as electricity, water supply, public transportation, communications, etc.,
could result from civil disorder.
Health and Safety
Injury and loss of life can occur as a result of civil disturbance.
Economic Impact
Loss of life and property as well as fear can be a factor and interrupt the normal functioning of a
community. The need for increased security for sites vulnerable to civil disorder places demands on
local law enforcement organizations.

Future Occurrence
The occurrence of civil disorder is always a possibility, but the likelihood is low. The potential for
civil disturbances exists within Will County because of:
Large manufacturing enterprises and labor organizations that could result in public
demonstration over labor disputes
Will County Jail, River Valley Juvenile Detention Center, and Stateville Correctional
facilities that could face uprisings due to overcrowding or jail conditions
Three universities and a junior college that could experience student demonstrations or crowd
disturbances

CHAPTER 5: MITIGATION GOALS, OBJECTIVES, & STRATEGIES
Will County Emergency Management Agency (EMA), with the collaboration of participating
jurisdictions, has identified the expectations of the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
and the strategies to meet these goals and objectives. The expectations of this planning document are
defined as the Mitigation Goals and Objectives. The mitigation plan’s goals are broad statements that
describe the principles that will guide the suggested mitigation. The objectives are targeted statements
that define strategies and implementation procedures to attain the mitigation plan’s goals. The Committee
developed the goals, objectives, and strategies based upon the findings of the All Hazard Risk
Assessment, previously prepared by the county, individual expertise, knowledge of existing and planned
county-wide programs and projects, and collaboration with participating jurisdictions. The Mitigation
Steering Committee held a workshop on January 15, 2020, with participating jurisdictions to
review/update, further define, and finalize the goals and objectives of the 2020 plan.
Goals and Objectives
Goal #1: Protect and secure life and property.
Objectives:
• Increase public education and awareness of all hazards and what they can do to protect
and secure their community.
• Implement effective approaches to protect neighborhoods, buildings, and critical
facilities and infrastructure from all hazards.
• Nurture and support local and regional organizations that have missions that fulfill this
goal.
• Increase capabilities to disseminate pre-event and post-event information.
• Increase readiness of the public and all levels of government within Will County.
515
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan

Goal #3: Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and improve quality of life
throughout Will County.
Objectives:
• Nurture and support strategic local and regional private/public partnerships to limit or
minimize the impact from a disaster to key employers and from market sectors.
• Work with local universities, private/non-profit organizations, and other organizations to
identify opportunities to implement mitigation.
• Promote and nurture mitigation actions that facilitate security to private and public
sectors while leveraging available funding.
• Increase readiness of the private sector within Will County and promote private sector
readiness within the region.
Goal #4: Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Objectives:
• Assist Will County and its participating jurisdictions in the development of mitigation
proposals and identify sources of federal funding.
• Identify and facilitate mitigation opportunities pertinent to the locale with internal,
neighboring, and regional partners.
• Assist essential and critical facilities (hospitals, universities, utilities, and eligible
private/non-profits) to identify mitigation opportunities.
• Engrain mitigation strategies and actions into everyday planning and project
development.
• Integrate mitigation projects with other federal funding sources (FEMA, DHS, US EPA,
HUD, etc.) and projects in order to maximize efficiency and program eligibility.

Chapter 5: Mitigation Goals, Objectives, and Strategies
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 5 - 4
Goal #5: Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also protecting natural
systems and natural resources.
Objectives:
Incorporate hazard mitigation practices into the activities of other county departments,
Will County units of government, and local park districts.
Integrate mitigation actions into existing and future opportunities, projects, and
developments.
Focus on flood hazard mitigation actions that can increase open space and meet targets
for natural environment sustainability.
Mitigation Implementation Strategies
The Mitigation Implementation Strategies section of this plan addresses the action plan to reduce loss
from future hazard events throughout Will County. The specific projects, responsible agencies, potential
funding sources, and priorities are listed in the pages that follow.
Prioritization
Mitigation strategies in the original plan were defined and prioritized primarily through a formalized
workshop with participating jurisdictions. The initial selection and prioritization of these strategies was
drafted by the mitigation project planning team, using the following criteria to identify mitigation
strategies and actions that:
Address the plan’s goals and objectives.
Take advantage of opportunities presented by on-going or future initiatives, programs,
and activities related to emergency management, public safety, homeland security,
planning, growth management, community development, transportation, utilities, and
other capital improvements, facilities maintenance, code revisions, and other programs to
build mitigation opportunities into on-going functions of government to the maximum
extent possible.
Are within the capabilities of Will County and/or local jurisdiction that find the
mitigation strategy and action to be pertinent to their locale to execute the mitigation
action.
Offer a significant benefit in relation to its cost.
518
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 5: Mitigation Goals, Objectives, and Strategies
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 5 - 5
Have an identified funding source or sources.
Have an identified lead agency with appropriate jurisdictional authority to coordinate
implementation.
Have an identified schedule for implementation.
The team devised a worksheet (Appendix D) to organize all mitigation ideas and priorities. The
participants were encouraged to identify mitigation strategies that had an all-hazards approach and that
targeted select hazards that were determined to have a significant risk to communities in Will County.
These criteria and the process continue to be supported by this plan update.
The participants were persuaded to consider evaluation criteria as indicated in the State and Local
Mitigation Planning How-To-Guides developed by FEMA. These evaluation criteria consist of public
support, technical feasibility, staffing, funding, maintenance requirements, political support, legal
authority, and cost effectiveness. The workgroup that met January 15, 2020, used these criteria found in
FEMA’s STAPLE+E (see FEMA’s Developing the Mitigation Plan, FEMA 396-3, worksheet #4) tool to
update the evaluation and prioritize the mitigation actions to ensure they are beneficial and cost efficient.
Information from this evaluation is incorporated into the matrix shown on pages 5-17 through 5-24.
A detailed benefit-cost analysis (BCA) with FEMA’s tool was not conducted during the mitigation
strategy development phase. A detailed BCA will be done when the mitigation action strategy’s defined
scope of work is developed and supported. Although the benefits of a mitigation action can be
determined, an accurate cost could not be determined at this meeting because of too many unknown
variables. It is felt that the evaluation and discussion generated by the use of the STAPLE+E tool which
includes an economic criterion supported a sufficient general analysis of benefit-cost for the inclusion of
each mitigation action reviewed.
Integrating Mitigation
Some of the mitigation strategies suggested are more accurately defined as preparedness, response, and
recovery actions. Although the purpose of a hazard mitigation plan is to address mitigation actions, the
communities of Will County recognized the importance of integrating overlapping functions of all phases
of emergency management. The preparedness, response, and recovery actions identified support the goals
and objectives of this plan. Although FEMA mitigation funds may not be able to fund these actions, the
communities of Will County consider these actions as important in achieving the overall goals and
objectives of this plan. Will County EMA also recognizes that hazard risks, vulnerabilities, and disasters
519
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 5: Mitigation Goals, Objectives, and Strategies
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 5 - 6
often transcend beyond political boundaries. Therefore, the plan also addresses strategies for long term
planning and coordination purposes as neighboring jurisdictions develop hazard mitigation plans.
The results of this plan will be incorporated into ongoing planning efforts for Will County and its
jurisdictions. At this time, there is limited reference in planning documents and ordinances that
specifically mention the Will County County-Wide Hazard Mitigation Plan. A recent example is the
Village of Shorewood, Illinois Loss Avoidance Study. However, many existing elements of the county’s
plans and ordinances regarding stormwater management, building codes, zoning, land use, transportation,
and others address and help to mitigate the hazards identified in this plan. As this plan is reviewed and
evolves, effort will be made to educate county departments and municipalities about the benefits of the
plan and to develop a strategy for integration of this plan into other plans and ordinances.
Funding opportunities to implement a variety of the mitigation action items identified in the plan are
identified within each mitigation action item found on pages 6-6 thru 6-38 in Chapter 6. Funding avenues
for these action items varies dependent on the potential funding opportunities and the identified
responsible organizations. The identified Mitigation Action Items and Goals within the Will County
County-wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan will be integrated into the following ongoing planning efforts
when applicable.

Mitigation Actions
The mitigation plan identifies mitigation actions that were developed from the risk assessment, the
Steering Committee, collaboration with participating jurisdictions, and the public participation process.
Each mitigation strategy describes the opportunity, how to implement it, funding sources, and responsible
agencies.
The matrix on pages 5-17 through 5-24 provides a guide of the mitigation actions that were identified and
where, in Chapter 6, further detail can be found. The matrix describes:
The hazard that the strategy addresses.
The implementation timeline for the project. Short-term mitigation items are either 1)
crucial to the life safety of Will County residents, or 2) relatively easy to implement
because funding has already been secured or is readily available. Any project noted as
on-going should be implemented early in the planning cycle, but will be a continuous
project once implementation has occurred.
The agency that will take the lead in implementing the strategy.
Potential sources of funding.
References to detailed information about the strategy in Chapter 6.
The plan goal(s) the strategy addresses.
The Mitigation Actions identified in Chapter 6 address the following:
Problem/Opportunity: This describes either a problem or a possible opportunity to reduce risk.
Implementation Strategy: Each mitigation strategy includes ideas to implement and accomplish the
specific project and potential resources, which may include grant

County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 6. Mitigation Actions
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 6 - 1
CHAPTER 6: MITIGATION ACTIONS
Overview
The communities of Will County have numerous natural, technological, and societal hazards that pose a
threat to the residents, businesses, infrastructure, property, and community assets. Identifying and
prioritizing mitigation actions are the fundamental component of the Will County County-Wide All
Hazard Mitigation Plan. Analyzing mitigation actions that address all or multiple hazards will improve
the effectiveness and benefits. However, mitigation actions that address one hazard category (i.e., natural
hazards) or a specific hazard (flooding) are also identified in this section.
A detailed cost-benefit analysis was not developed due to the open scope of many of these items. A cost-
benefit analysis based on FEMA’s methodology will be developed when the actions are implemented.
The cost benefit analysis will help in prioritizing actions by describing appropriate benefit-cost
methodologies for evaluating the effectiveness of a range of potential mitigation actions. As part of the
plan update, FEMA’s STAPLE+E (see FEMA’s Developing the Mitigation Plan, FEMA 396-3,
worksheet #4) tool was used to evaluate and prioritize the mitigation actions to ensure they are beneficial
and cost efficient.
Mitigation actions are prioritized by whether they address the target hazards identified in the risk
assessment or by the number of hazards that they address. To complement state initiatives, mitigation
actions that address relative “National Priorities”, as dictated by DHS doctrines, are also identified. The
intent of this section is to identify actions that will accurately articulate the communities of Will County’s
needs for mitigating the consequence of high risk events and to improve emergency services.
Common Themes and Issues
Rapid Growth and Urban Sprawl
Between 1990 and 2010, Will County’s population grew by 89% or over 320,000 people. Annual
estimates and future projections show the growth trend will continue with population totals exceeding 1.0
million people. Currently, there is a population of 692,310, which makes Will County’s population the
fourth largest in the state and the 98th largest in the country.
539
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 6. Mitigation Actions
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 6 - 2
The nation has witnessed an alarming increase in the number and severity of natural disasters. Experts
believe that this trend will continue, with the potential of larger and more devastating disasters occurring.
While geophysical disasters, such as earthquakes, have remained relatively constant in this country over
the past 50 years, weather-related disasters have increased. In addition, our technological advances have
further increased our vulnerabilities and potential for impacts are exacerbated with the growing presence
of societal hazards such as terrorism.
Population growth and urbanization are major contributors to a community’s increase in vulnerability, as
well as exacerbating the potential impacts of a disaster. Urban sprawl and our desire to control our
environment with engineered structures have led to more development in high-risk areas. This
encouragement of developing high-risk areas, coupled with aging infrastructure, makes the potential
impact of a disaster even greater. In addition, growing populations combined with increased risks require
a greater need for identifying evacuation routes. Larger populations and a higher concentration of people
living in urban areas will result in disasters that affect a larger number of individuals.
One of the Will County’s larger risks is flooding. No Adverse Impact Floodplain Management is a
managing principle being offered by the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) that is easy
to communicate and from a policy perspective tough to challenge. In essence, a no impact floodplain is
one where the action of one property owner does not adversely impact the rights of other properties, as
measured by increased flood peaks, flood stage, flood velocity, and erosion and sedimentation potentials.
While Will County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) guidelines, many
structures remain at risk simply because they are in the floodplain. By joining the Community Rating
System (CRS), the county:
Will reduce insurance premiums of those policy holders located in the floodplain.
Would have a process in place to enable the county to tailor future development.
Would better allow communities to incorporate environmental concerns into floodplain
management.
Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRM) for Will County have been completed and provide a digital
version of the FEMA flood insurance rate maps designed for use with digital mapping and analysis
software. Flood Insurance Studies (FIS) date back to the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. As a result, the
flood elevations associated with various flood events may not be indicative of expected flood inundation.
540
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 6. Mitigation Actions
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 6 - 3
This discrepancy, coupled with the current increase in population density may now be resolved with the
final DFIRMS.
Additionally, the location and conditions of Will County non-federal dams should be re-assessed since
increased population density downstream of a dam and changes in flood plains identified in the new
DFIRMS could result in increased destruction during a dam failure.
Local and Regional Partnerships
Like all emergency management functions, hazard mitigation begins at the local level. Individual
properties and businesses can be the most vulnerable to hazards. Therefore, it is important for businesses,
industry representatives, and local governments to form partnerships and work together to plan for
disasters. This partnership would create a more thorough response and initiate the framework and
resources needed for post-disaster recovery. Partnerships will bring mitigation into the forefront.
Development of local and regional partnerships was identified by FEMA as a National Priority.
Crisis Management vs. Consequence Management
Since September 11th, there has been much debate on the roles and responsibilities of emergency
management. Although there is a close relationship between crisis and consequence management, there
are defined differences. Crisis management is predominately a law enforcement function and includes
measures to identify, acquire, and plan the use of resources needed to anticipate, prevent and/or resolve a
threat or act of terrorism. Consequence management is predominately an emergency management
function and includes measures to protect public health and safety, restore essential government services,
and provide emergency relief to governments, businesses, and individuals affected by the consequences
of an event. For this reason, the hazard mitigation actions are focused on alleviating the impacts or
consequences of a hazard, whether it is a natural or man-made event.
By definition, mitigation actions are:
“Any action taken to eliminate or reduce long-term risk to human life and property from the
consequences of natural and human-caused hazards. Such actions are taken to reduce the
consequences of disasters and break the vicious cycle of destruction, repair, destruction,
repair, etc. Mitigation actions are the foundation of a truly effective emergency
management program.”

Leveraging Available Funds
In recent years, the financial resources for mitigation activities have declined with the reduction in funds
for the FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDM) and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
(HMGP). However, leveraging Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initiatives to address natural,
technological, and societal hazards, as well as potentially funding mitigation actions, will ensure
efficiency in public funding. The 2005 Emergency Management Performance Grants – Program
Guidance and Application Kit states that “emergency managers at all levels should leverage all available
funding and resources from multiple sources wherever possible…(and)…should not restrict their
activities to only Federal funding to achieve the goals outlined within their strategies. Rather, special
attention should be given to leveraging relevant funding sources and resources that support”… mitigation
activities.1
FEMA administers three funding programs for mitigation planning and projects:
The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMPG) assists in long-term hazard mitigation plan and
projects following a Presidential major disaster declaration.
The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program assists with hazard mitigation planning and projects
on an annual basis.
The Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) provides fund for planning and projects to reduce or
eliminate risk of flood damage.
Additional sources include other Federal preparedness programs:

Goal #2 - Continue to improve and enhance county-wide emergency
management programs and develop relationships county-wide.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Problem/Opportunity: Local emergency management agencies have worked tirelessly to secure the
community and to keep up to date on revolving threats, as well as the
evolution of emergency management. There have been significant changes
within the field of emergency management following the events of
September 11th and recent hurricanes/tornadoes, as well as the introduction
of new directives, changes to the National Federal Response Plan, and the
development of the National Incident Management System. It is essential
to ensure that emergency management doctrine, operational systems, and
programs at all levels of government within Will County are thorough and
integrated.
Implementation Strategy: Execute a gap analysis of emergency planning documents and operational
systems throughout Will County at all levels of government. Develop a
system to gather this information for evaluation. Identify needs and actions
to ensure thoroughness and integration of emergency management
operations and functions at all levels of government. For example, in order
to be compliant with the National Response Plan, Will County EMA should
develop a Recovery Operations Plan that addresses all hazards and
integrates federal and state directives.

Population growth and urbanization are major contributors to a
community’s increase in vulnerability, as well as exacerbates the potential
impacts of a disaster. Urban sprawl and our desire to control our
environment with engineered structures have led to more development in
high-risk areas.
Implementation Strategy: Support, promote, and expand the development of the Hazard Mitigation
Steering Committee into a permanent component throughout the County.
Implement annual workshops and roundtables to educate others on the need
for and benefits of mitigation, identify opportunities, and integrate
developments into revisions of the All Hazard Mitigation Plan along with

Mitigation Action #5: Expand the county-wide public awareness and education programs and
promote the understanding of each community’s risks, vulnerabilities, what
to do during and after a disaster, and how to mitigate the effects of disasters.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #2 - Continue to improve and enhance county-wide emergency
management programs and develop relationships county-wide.
Goal #3 - Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and
improve quality of life throughout Will County.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Problem/Opportunity: When a disaster occurs, it affects everyone living in the community.
Therefore, it is essential to ensure public awareness of the community’s
threats and what they can do to prepare and measures they can take to
reduce the consequences of a disaster. During and after a hazard event,
emergency responders may be either overwhelmed with emergency calls or
unable to access some residential areas. It is important that individual
households are prepared for a period of self-sufficiency while responders
deal with more immediate and life-threatening situations. Disasters also
open a window of opportunity following a disastrous event of local,
national, or international significance in which citizens will take action to
improve their own safety and preparedness. This strategy supports response
and recovery.
Implementation Strategy: Evaluate existing public education efforts and identify opportunities to
expand or develop new programs that present the risks that face the
community and measures they can take to prepare and mitigate. Leverage
existing forums such as public meetings, universities, workshops, public
radio, podcasts, and social media to deliver these programs.
Following a disaster, provide rapid information to the public on disaster
preparedness and mitigation measures. Follow up with sustained education
campaign for the following two months.
Develop and index a mitigation/preparedness packet for the public
and for the media to have ready for each type of hazard.
Develop customized recovery packets for each hazard to have ready
for the public and media when a disaster occurs.

Goal #3 - Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and
improve quality of life throughout Will County.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Goal #5 - Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also
protecting natural systems and resources.
Problem/Opportunity: It is essential to have political and peer support prior to, during, and
following a disaster by establishing, cultivating, and maintaining
relationships throughout the county, between communities, local officials
and department liaisons prior to an event. In addition, the field of
Emergency Management has grown rapidly over the past few decades. The
challenges and complexities of the relationship between our environment,
global politics and their impacts on our infrastructure, economics, and
sustainability have required the need for a vast array of specialty.
Implementation Strategy: Continue county-wide emergency management workshops and training for
communities, department liaisons, and local officials that focus on their
community’s risks, vulnerabilities, and opportunities to protect and
mitigate. Also, encourage and support emergency management and other
related professionals throughout the county to obtain higher education
degrees, certifications, and membership in professional organizations.

Mitigation Action #8: Identify critical facilities that are located within flood hazard areas and
relocate them or incorporate mitigation retrofits to protect them from future
floods.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #2 - Continue to improve and enhance county-wide emergency
management programs and develop relationships county-wide.
Goal #3 - Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and
improve quality of life throughout Will County.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Goal #5 - Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also
protecting natural systems and resources.
Problem/Opportunity: The flood modeling conducted for this plan (see Appendix B) identified
several fire stations and schools that were located within or near the 100
year floodplain. NFIP regulations encourage communities to have critical
facilities outside of the 500 year floodplain. In addition, the Water
Resource Ordinance for Unincorporated Will County requires that all
critical facilities are located outside the 500 year floodplain.
FEMA now provides the Standard Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map
(DFIRM) Database which is a digital version of the FEMA flood insurance
rate map that is designed for use with digital mapping and analysis
software. Will County received updated DFIRMs in 2019 which allows
planners to more accurately identify critical facilities located in flood-prone
areas.
The new DFIRMS now identify a large area of the City of Joliet’s
downtown within the 100-year floodplain. The City is actively working
with the Army Corps of Engineers to raise lower existing ground elevations
to mitigate the potential flooding problem.
Implementation Strategy: Utilizing the DFIRM database provided by FEMA, conduct a detailed study
of each facility to evaluate the potential impacts to each facility, and
identify mitigation options to protect it from future damages and to ensure
operations during an event. Conduct a benefit-cost analysis and implement
the best mitigation alternative.

Information Systems (GIS) throughout the County to track communities’
vulnerability to hazards.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #2 - Continue to improve and enhance county-wide emergency
management programs and develop relationships county-wide.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Problem/Opportunity: Will County communities are increasingly incorporating geospatial
technologies and data into their daily operations. Geospatial technologies
and data have become a valued asset in preparedness, protection, response,
and recovery emergency management operations. In the preparedness
phase, emergency management planners, as well as responders, need
current, accurate, and easily accessible information to ensure the readiness
of teams to respond. The mapping and analysis of critical infrastructure
vulnerabilities and public health surveillance capabilities is an important
component of strategy development including response and recovery in
order to provide a dynamic common operating picture, coordinate and track
emergency assets, enhance capabilities, understand event impacts,
accurately estimate damage, locate safety zones for quarantine or detention,
and facilitate recovery. Through the mitigation planning process, the Will
County communities have identified the benefit of integrating HAZUS
technology and the benefits of robust, accurate, and detailed data.
Implementation Strategy: Continue to encourage communities to invest in GIS technology by training
staff, obtaining and updating detailed geospatial data, and incorporating
GIS technology and modeling programs into community decisions. Data
sharing agreements have been made with twenty-eight communities
throughout Will County along with many other tax districts and agencies.

Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Goal #5 - Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also
protecting natural systems and resources.
Problem/Opportunity: A community's agreement to adopt and enforce floodplain management
ordinances, particularly with respect to new construction is an important
element in making flood insurance available to home and businesses
owners. Currently over 20,000 communities voluntarily adopt and enforce
local floodplain management ordinances that provide flood loss reduction
building standards for new and existing development. Will County has
adopted a Countywide Ordinance to incorporate more stringent regulations
that can be used and adopted as a base ordinance for communities in Will
County. Supporting the ordinance is the County’s Stormwater Management
Plan and Technical Guidance Manual for County-Wide Stormwater
Ordinance.
Implementation Strategy: Maintain or amend the ordinance as needed. All communities in Will
County have adopted the county’s ordinance or implemented more stringent
measures.

Problem/Opportunity: Currently, the county and jurisdictions do not participate in the Community
Rating System (CRS). The CRS is part of the National Flood Insurance
Program and can provide discounts of up to 45% off flood insurance
premiums for residents of communities that participate. Communities
apply for a CRS classification and are given credit points that reflect the
impact of their activities on reducing flood losses, insurance rating, and
promoting awareness. CRS process includes ten steps: 1) organize, 2)
involve the public, 3) coordinate with agencies and organizations, 4) assess
the hazard, 5) evaluate the problem, 6) set goals, 7) review mitigation
strategies, 8) draft action plan, 9) adopt the plan, 10) implement, evaluate,
and revise.
Implementation Strategy: Leverage the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan to
fulfill some of the requirements identified in the CRS process.

Problem/Opportunity: Will County GIS Division is currently working closely with jurisdictions to
improve GIS capabilities and develop measures to protect communities
from flooding. County-wide GIS capabilities have been steadily increasing;
however, there is a limitation in the amount of data available. The County
would like to utilize the existing technology and to leverage FEMA’s
current Risk Map Program initiative to map flood hazards. The Risk Map
Program will:
Create new maps that take advantage of revised data and improved
technologies for identifying flood hazards.
Create up-to-date maps to support a flood insurance program that is
more closely aligned with actual risk, encourage wise floodplain
management, and increase the public’s flood hazard awareness.
Provide local communities and various stakeholders who desire
more timely updates of floodplain maps and easier access to the
data.
Map Modernization is a cornerstone for helping communities to be
better prepared for flood disasters. The NFIP currently serves 4.5
million policyholders and provides $650 billion in coverage.
Implementation Strategy: Maintain Data Sharing Agreements or Data Licensing Agreements between

Mitigation Action #13: Utilizing GIS, develop and maintain a county-wide database of flood
controlled areas, purchased flood plain properties, and flood prone
properties to be acquired.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #2 - Continue to improve and enhance county-wide emergency
management programs and develop relationships county-wide.
Goal #3 - Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and
improve quality of life throughout Will County.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Goal #5 - Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also
protecting natural systems and resources.
Problem/Opportunity: As budgets shrink and the need grows for managing mitigation and
recovery projects within rapidly growing communities, efficiency in
managing information on flood prone areas is essential. GIS provides
management of data and mapping capabilities that allows analysis of the
information for planning, mitigation, and recovery purposes. Mitigation
funding of approximately $10.6 million has been spent in securing
repetitive loss properties in Will County from the 1996 and 2008 floods.
Data on flood controlled areas, previously purchased flood plain properties,
and flood prone properties to be purchased can be integrated into useable
formats for planners. This will improve efficiency in flood plain
management projects and maximize limited budgets.
Implementation Strategy: Use improved GIS capabilities and completed DFIRMs for Will County to
integrate flood plain data on flood controlled areas, purchased flood plain
properties, and flood prone properties to be acquired. This will allow
planners to be more efficient in data analysis and budgeting for planning,
mitigation, and recovery projects.

Mitigation Action #14: Continue stormwater management planning and ordinances to improve
existing storm capacity and drainage systems. Utilize watershed studies
and mapping to identify and prioritize mitigation needs in each watershed.
Potential projects include retention basins improvement, culvert
enlargement/improvement, stream maintenance, erosion/sedimentation
control, water quality assessment, watershed and flood risks education,
infrastructure maintenance, agency coordination, property/infrastructure
protection, roadway elevations correction, and data for improved
emergency planning/response.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Goal #5 - Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also
protecting natural systems and resources.
Problem/Opportunity: Current watershed concerns have been identified through existing studies,
community recommendations, and past flood incident data. There is a
concern that some of the drainage systems throughout the county are
undersized due to the rapid development within the county from rural farm
fields to suburbanized communities. As the county developed, farm field
tiles that once controlled flooding were abandoned as developments were
built on neighboring land. Growing communities increase the need for
effective stream maintenance, proper sizing of retention basins and culverts,
erosion/sedimentation control, and protection of property and infrastructure
from flooding.
Watershed studies would assist the WCSMPC to identify, prioritize, and
address flooding issues; thus, these studies would provide a cost-effective
approach to addressing existing and future flood problems. Staffing and
funding are obstacles for the development of the studies and implementing
recommended flood control measures.
Implementation Strategy: Utilize Will County Stormwater Plan and Technical Guidance to:
Employ studies by a licensed professional engineer to re-evaluate
watersheds and determine the true flood areas and issues causing
flooding.
Assess problematic areas where field tiles were once the primary
method of flood control.

Mitigation Action #15: Complete and maintain maps of shallow flooding and urban ponding areas
to prioritize stormwater infrastructure improvements.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Goal #5 - Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also
protecting natural systems and resources.
Problem/Opportunity: Some areas throughout the county are subject to flooding that occurs as a
result of poor drainage rather than proximity to a river or stream. Major
developments have been constructed in these shallow flooding areas and
more are proposed. Flooding can occur well outside of mapped floodplains
and the number of flood insurance policy holders outside of identified
flood-prone areas demonstrates the need to map shallow flooding areas.
Identifying shallow flooding areas would help reduce future problems and
future surprises to residents, and provide a prioritized list of needed capital
improvements. Tools, such as GIS and Light Detection and Ranging
(LIDAR) maps, are available to identify shallow flooding areas.
Implementation Strategy: Identify past occurrences of shallow flooding, urban ponding, and high
ground water areas using LIDAR and county-wide aerial photography of
historical floods. Incorporate these into flood maps to monitor and
prioritize infrastructure improvements throughout the county.

Mitigation Action #16: Increase open space and conservation easements, as well as incorporate
natural features, in high flood hazard areas throughout the county.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Goal #5 - Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also
protecting natural systems and resources.
Problem/Opportunity: Extensive new development could greatly alter the natural hydrology
throughout the county. Each new development adds impervious surfaces,
such as sidewalks, driveways, foundations or others. This means that,
because less water filters through the ground and into the water table, rain
drains more rapidly into stormwater management systems, streams and
rivers. This situation increases the risk of flooding, adds sediment and
toxins to run off, and slows aquifer replenishment. Furthermore, the
cumulative affect of rapid growth throughout the county degrades
environmental quality and increases the risk of flooding.
Low impact development (LID) has the potential to alleviate these adverse
impacts through the creation of appropriately placed green space,
landscaping, grading, streetscapes, roads and parking lots. LID can achieve
multifunctional objectives and help to reduce stormwater impacts, and
provide and maintain the beneficial hydrologic functions of a natural
drainage system.
Implementation Strategy: Coordinate the existing Will County Stormwater Management Plan into
overall flood hazard mitigation activities. This could achieve several
objectives:
Ensure coordination of other planning efforts with those of the Will
County Stormwater Management Plan Committee.
Ensure coordination with the Will County Stormwater Management
Planning Committee on issues pertaining to floodplain
development, stormwater control, and other related matters.
Ensure a wider understanding of and adherence to the Stormwater
Management Plan and Stormwater Ordinance.
Coordinate and implement efforts to increase open space in high hazard
areas throughout the county with the Will County Land Use Plan. The use
of LID could achieve several objectives:
563
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Chapter 6. Mitigation Actions
2020 WC AHMP Chapter 6 - 26
LID measures can result in no net increase in run off thereby
maintaining the current flood risk without affecting development
potential.
It recharges the aquifer. Groundwater supplies at least 95% of the
drinking water supply and water critical for commerce in Will
County.
It supports the hydrologic regime, in turn supporting a healthy
ecosystem and demanding less cost for maintenance and energy.
It results in open space.
Develop county/jurisdiction regulations and guidelines that implement LID
objectives to:
Minimize impacts to the extent practicable by reducing
imperviousness, conserving natural resources and ecosystems,
maintaining natural drainage courses, reducing the use of pipes and
minimizing clearing/grading.
Recreate detention and retention storage dispersed and evenly
distributed throughout a site with the use of open swales, fatter
slopes, depressions, storage rain gardens (bio-retention), water use
(rain barrels) and others.
Maintain the predevelopment time of concentration by strategically
routing flows to maintain travel time.
Provide effective public education and socioeconomic incentives to
ensure property owners use effective pollution prevention measures
and maintain management measures.

accuracy. Often flood maps do not reflect changes of the site due to new
development, new elevations caused by placed fill, or flood control and
stormwater infrastructure.
Compare the findings of the strategy above to existing inventory of
repetitive loss structures.

Mitigation Action #18: Expand and improve existing flood warning system capability and integrate
it with a county-wide emergency communication strategy.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #2 - Continue to improve and enhance county-wide emergency
management programs and develop relationships county-wide.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Problem/Opportunity: Will County has improved its flood monitoring resources to assist in
notifying communities quickly and accurately of a flood threat. A flood
warning system may consist of people or machines monitoring water level
with stream gauges. Although a flood warning system does not provide
long term damage reduction, it can alleviate health and safety risk by
providing citizens time to remove belongings that could be damaged.
Additionally, Will County has successfully issued approximately 800
NOAA weather radios throughout the county as part of improving the
emergency communication system.
Implementation Strategy: Continue to expand flood warning systems that monitor water levels of
rivers, streams, creeks, and other bodies of water that threaten properties
throughout the county and incorporate these systems into the county-wide
emergency communication strategy.

Mitigation Action #20: Encourage & support shelters for all types of hazards in public spaces and
high risk locations.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Goal #5 - Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also
protecting natural systems and resources.
Problem/Opportunity: The exponential growth throughout the county has resulted in the
inadequacies of providing enough shelter space. Community recreational
and residential parks, golf courses, and nature preserves do not have
adequate shelters for residents during a severe storm or tornado.
Furthermore, many of the public buildings, schools, and critical facilities
were built before advancements in shelter construction.
Temperature extremes occasionally require the need to provide heating or
cooling centers for public use, particularly for populations most susceptible
to temperature extremes.
Mobile home parks and manufactured home communities are vulnerable to
high winds and tornados.
Implementation Strategy: Encourage and support the increase of shelters through the construction of
dual use, multi-hazard shelters in the community’s most popular parks, golf
courses, and other public venues. Community facilities should incorporate
technological advancements for sheltering purposes and double as heating
and cooling centers during severe temperatures.
Evaluate the existing shelters in public buildings county-wide to determine
needs and improvements necessary to adequately shelter inhabitants during
a storm or tornado.

Mitigation Action #21: Target regulatory, development, and preparedness efforts of Tier II
hazardous material facilities and coordinate the development and
maintenance of applicable community and facility emergency plans.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #2 - Continue to improve and enhance county-wide emergency
management programs and develop relationships county-wide.
Goal #3 - Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and
improve quality of life throughout Will County.
Problem/Opportunity: Will County has many oil refineries, chemical manufacturers, and other
businesses that use hazardous materials in their processing. Chemicals and
materials in use vary in toxicity. There are a large number of known
facilities that store large quantities of reportable hazardous materials that
are required for their industrial process. Communities should be aware of
the hazardous materials being used for industrial processes within their
jurisdiction. By working together, industry and communities can
coordinate emergency plans to identify the location of facilities,
transportation routes of hazardous materials, procedures for immediate
response, a community-wide evacuation plan, a public notification plan,
facility point of contacts, and a plan for exercising simulations.
Implementation Strategy: Continue to support efforts to assess and monitor Tier II facility release
contingency plans by using geospatial data to help manage information on
Tier II facilities, on-site hazardous material types and quantities, site
configuration, and compliance status. At least annually, support these
facilities in emergency planning and information sharing by conducting a
review. Incorporate Risk Management Plans developed by those facilities
that are required by U.S. EPA regulations for sites that manufacture, store,
or handle hazardous materials into the community’s emergency plan to
ensure the safety of the public.

Goal #3 - Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and
improve quality of life throughout Will County.
Goal #5 - Take advantage of opportunities offered by growth while also
protecting natural systems and resources.
Problem/Opportunity: In the summer of 2005, Will County experienced a severe drought that
created severe hardships on the farming community throughout the county.
A drought contingency plan can help anticipate the needs and actions to
take during future droughts. Additionally, public education on water saving
techniques and identifying criteria/triggers for drought for implementing
drought response measures can help minimize problems during droughts.
Implementation Strategy: Leverage the experience of the 2005 drought to develop a county-wide
drought contingency plan with fire prevention strategies and public
education for future events.

prepare communities for an orderly recovery operation.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #2 - Continue to improve and enhance county-wide emergency
management programs and develop relationships county-wide.
Goal #3 - Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and
improve quality of life throughout Will County.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Problem/Opportunity: Post-disaster recovery is an arduous process that can have a heavy toll on
communities. Disasters can often destroy the community’s fundamental
markets. Disasters can also create a severe loss of income, unemployment,
a disruption of life, a reduction in property values, and cause communities
to fail. A quick and orderly recovery process is essential to ensure a
community’s future.
A post disaster recovery ordinance regulates repair activity, generally
depending on property location. It prepares a community to respond to a
disaster in an orderly fashion by requiring citizens to: 1) obtain permits for
repairs, 2) refrain from making repairs, or 3) make repairs using standard
methods.
A post disaster recovery plan outlines the roles and responsibilities during
the recovery efforts, identifies needs for debris management operations,
incorporates pre-identified mitigation measures, and integrates other
mechanisms to adequately manage the local recovery efforts of a disaster.
Implementation Strategy: Educate public officials on the need for a “Post Disaster Recovery”
ordinance by citing past examples of where lack of ordinances restricted
recovery efforts and where ordinances expedited the recovery process.
Develop and pass a Post Disaster Recovery ordinance.
Develop a county-wide Post Disaster Recovery Plan that integrates other
county-wide emergency planning doctrine.

Problem/Opportunity: If left unchecked, various diseases or environmental conditions can result
in widespread illness and threats to life. Public health emergencies can
occur as a result of natural, technological and societal hazards. Systems for
surveillance and communication are required to identify public health
emergencies and warn the public of potential threats to life. Along with
surveillance, public health programs must be in place to prevent or mitigate
occurrences. Partnerships with private and public sectors are necessary to
coordinate plans, educate the public, and implement emergency plan
strategies.
Implementation Strategy: Maintain and enhance emergency plans that address public health hazards
and partnerships with public and private sectors to implement emergency
plans that safeguard lives and enhance healthy lifestyles.

Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #3 - Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and
improve quality of life throughout Will County.
Goal #4 - Develop, promote, and integrate mitigation actions.
Problem/Opportunity: Many changes within Will County have occurred since the original hazard
mitigation plan was adopted by the county. Using HAZUS-MH, GIS, and
other risk assessment tools, The Polis Center provided risk assessment for
flood, tornado, earthquake, hazardous materials, and bombing in the
original hazard mitigation plan for Will County. Since then, the county has
grown in population, industry has increased, and intermodal transportation
of raw materials and goods has flourished along with warehousing. This
leads to a larger population to protect from natural hazards and an increase
in serious transportation accidents and potential hazardous material
releases. Updating the risk assessments conducted by The Polis Center
would assist planners and responders in identifying any potential increases
in the risks assessed in their studies to the county population.
Implementation Strategy: Identify resources within the county that have appropriate assessment tools,
provide staff with the necessary training to conduct the reassessments, and
identify outside resources as needed to conduct an update of the original
risk assessments provided by The Polis Center.

regional emergency operations plan.
Goals Addressed: Goal #1 - Protect and secure life and property.
Goal #2 - Continue to improve and enhance county-wide emergency
management programs and develop relationships county-
wide.
Goal #3 - Ensure economic stability, preserve cultural resources, and
improve quality of life throughout Will County.
Problem/Opportunity: Many, particularly smaller local jurisdictions, struggle to develop and
maintain local emergency operations plans for their communities. Issues
include time, expertise, and resources that make it difficult for local
jurisdictions to develop and maintain a comprehensive emergency
operations plan. In the event of a widespread incident, coordinating county
and local jurisdictions to respond to an incident can be cumbersome when
each jurisdiction has different priorities, response procedures, and
resources prohibiting smooth collaboration. If a county-wide regional
emergency operations plan was developed, it would allow county and local
jurisdictions to interact and collaborate in all phases of emergency
management as an efficient and effective system.
Implementation Strategy: Form a county and local jurisdiction coalition to develop a county-wide
regional emergency operations plan that provides a comprehensive plan
that is effectively useful at the local level and allows cohesive partnership
in all phases of emergency management to address regional occurrences.

CHAPTER 7: MITIGATION PLAN MAINTENANCE
Will County and the participating jurisdictions and communities will ensure that goals, objectives, and
action items described in this document will remain relevant by maintaining, monitoring, evaluating, and
updating the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Monitoring, Evaluation, and Updating the Plan
To assure that the All Hazard Mitigation Plan continues to provide an appropriate path for risk reduction
throughout the county, it is necessary to regularly evaluate and update it. A committee will be formed
from Will County Departments and community partners to convene on an annual basis to determine the
progress of the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. Will County EMA is responsible
for contacting committee members and organizing the annual meeting. The committee will be
responsible for:
Re-assessing hazards and risks to ensure emerging hazards are identified and addressed.
Annually reviewing each goal and objective to determine its relevance to the changing situation.
Monitoring and evaluating the mitigation strategies in this plan to assure that the document
reflects current hazard analyses, development trends, code changes, and risk analyses and
perceptions.
Assuring the appropriate implementation of the 5-year action plan described below. The
committee will hear progress reports from the parties responsible for the various implementation
actions to monitor progress.
Creating future action plans and mitigation strategies. These should be carefully assessed and
prioritized using FEMA’s STAPLE+E. A benefit-cost analysis (BCA) developed by FEMA will
be conducted for specific projects arising from the mitigation actions. More information about
FEMA’s BCA is provided in Appendix C.
Assuring a continuing role for public comment and involvement as the mitigation plan evolves.
Reassessing the plan in light of any major hazard event. The Committee will convene within 45
days of any major event to review all applicable data and to consider the risk assessment, plan
goals, objectives, and action items given the effects of the hazard event. Applicable hazard-
dependent action items, which are listed below, should be implemented at that time.
Review the hazard mitigation plan in connection to other plans, projects, developments, and other
significant initiatives.

Coordinate with internal departments, neighboring municipalities, and local authorities to
incorporate regional initiatives that transcend the boundaries of the county.
Update the plan every five years and submit to IEMA for FEMA approval.
The Five-Year Action Plan
This section outlines the implementation agenda that the Hazard Mitigation Committee should follow for
the five years following adoption of this plan.
The mitigation action items summarized in Chapter 5 from pages 5-17 through 5-24 have been identified
based on input from the Committee and other participants. More information about each of the action
items listed can be found in Chapter 6 which identifies the risks they address and their potential to reduce
loss. The benefit to cost was not done for the mitigation strategies listed in this plan. Rather, this analysis
using the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA)
approved Benefit Cost Methods shall be used at the time of a given strategy’s development and
implementation. The decision to do the benefit to cost analysis at the time of a strategy’s development is
due to the fact of the unknown variables for each listed strategy. The Hazard Mitigation Committee will
consider the following an action plan for the 5-year planning cycle.
Criteria for Evaluation
In addition to implementing the action plan described above, the Hazard Mitigation Committee will be
responsible for evaluating the plan. One of the first tasks of the committee will be to determine the
criteria to be used for evaluation of the plan. Included among these criteria should be:
Are the goals and objectives still relevant?
Is the risk assessment still appropriate, or has the nature or magnitude of the hazard and/or
vulnerability changed over time?
Are current resources appropriate for implementing this plan?
Have lead agencies participated as originally proposed?
Have outcomes been adequate?
What problems have occurred in the implementation process?
Have members of the public been adequately involved in the process? Are their comments being
heard?

Implementation through Existing Programs
The communities of Will County have recognized the importance of incorporating hazard mitigation
practices within existing plans, projects, and programs. The Committee will strive to involve all
jurisdictions and departments, as well as local non-participating jurisdictions and neighboring counties to
find mitigation opportunities with existing or planned projects and programs. To execute this, Will
County EMA will provide strategic outreach to coordinate activities and implement mitigation actions
that meet the goals and objectives identified in this plan.
Some of the mitigation strategies suggested are more accurately defined as preparedness, response, and
recovery actions. Although a hazard mitigation plan is to address mitigation actions, participating
jurisdictions recognize the importance of integrating overlapping functions into all phases of emergency
management. The preparedness, response, and recovery actions identified support the goals and
objectives of this plan. Emergency management agencies throughout the county recognize that
DHS/FEMA mitigation funds may not be used to fund these actions. However, these actions are
considered important in achieving the overall goals and objectives of this plan.
The purpose of the Will County County-wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan is to provide a guide to protect
the county’s communities through eliminating or reducing risk from hazards and building resiliency
within our communities to quickly respond and recover when hazards occur. DHS’s National
Preparedness Goal (NPG) lends itself the opportunity to be integrated into Will County County-Wide All
Hazard Mitigation Plan. DHS’s National Preparedness Goal:
A secure and resilient Nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent,
protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest
risk.1
The National Preparedness Goal is achieved through the use of these core capabilities that support the
above mission to:
Prevent, avoid, or stop a threatened or an actual act of terrorism.

Mitigate the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of future disasters.
Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs
in the aftermath of an incident.
Recovering through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening, and revitalization of
infrastructure, housing, and the economy, as well as the health, social, cultural, historic, and
environmental fabric of communities affected by an incident.
Additionally, guidance for our local plan can be found in FEMA’s mission – helping people before,
during, and after disaster. Found in FEMA’s strategic plan are these goals:
Building a culture of preparedness
o Incentivize investments that reduce risk, including pre-disaster mitigation, and reduce disaster
costs at all levels.
o Close the insurance gap
o Help people prepare for disasters
o Better learn from past disasters, improve continuously, and innovate
Ready the nation for the catastrophic disasters
o Organize the BEST (Build, Empower, Sustain, and Train) scalable and capable incident
workforce
o Enhance intergovernmental coordination through FEMA Integration Teams
o Posture FEMA and the whole community to provide life-saving and life-sustaining
commodities, equipment, and personnel from all available sources
o Improve continuity and resilient communications capabilities2
Continued Public Involvement
Although the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires local governments to only address natural hazards,
the county thought it was imperative to address all hazards, including technological and societal hazards.
Despite the security issues, public involvement is critical to the success of any strategic planning process,
including hazard mitigation. It is important for hazard mitigation plans to target concerns, comments, and

perception of risk as factors in the creation of mitigation strategies. To facilitate the goal of continued
public involvement in the planning process, the Committee will assure that the following steps are taken:
The public will be directly involved in the update and review of the plan along with the All
Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee.
Copies of the plan will be catalogued and kept on hand at appropriate agencies throughout the
county. Will County EMA will also post portions of the plan on Will County EMA maintained
websites. Sensitive information on technological and political hazards will be “For Official Use
Only – Not for Public Distribution”.
Will County EMA will initiate a forum to educate public officials, jurisdiction officials, and the
public on hazard mitigation.
A meeting with jurisdictions will be held annually to provide the public with a forum for
discussing concerns, opinions, and ideas with the All Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee.

Fact Sheet
Adopting the Will County County-wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
1
Adoption of Hazard Mitigation Plan
The adoption of a hazard mitigation plan demonstrates a jurisdiction’s commitment
to reduce the vulnerability to future hazards.
The bottom line: Hazard mitigation strategies help us build safer, stronger, smarter,
and more resilient communities better prepared to withstand future disasters.
Funding - One of the most direct benefits and motivating factors for communities:
FEMA requires state, tribal, territorial, and local governments to develop/update
and adopt hazard mitigation plans as a condition for receiving certain types of non-
emergency disaster assistance, including funding for mitigation projects.
o Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
o Pre-Disaster Mitigation
o Flood Mitigation Assistance
Allows communities to pre-identify risk reduction activities that can be partially or
wholly funded when funds become available through existing mitigation grant
programs, including but not limited to FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA)
programs, in addition to leveraging other financial assistance to support multi-
objective projects.
Defining Hazard Mitigation Planning
Process used by state and local leaders to understand risks from hazards and
develop long-term strategies to reduce the impacts of disasters on people, property,
and the environment.
While hazards cannot be prevented from occurring, mitigation planning focuses on
reducing the impact of such events when they do occur. This is achieved through
risk analysis, identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing potential risk reduction
measures, which results in information that provides a foundation for mitigation
activities and policy alternatives that reduce risk.
Mitigation strategies that are agreed upon by stakeholders and the public include
actions taken in the form of projects that will substantially reduce or eliminate
repetitive losses due to the occurrence of the same hazard.
Purpose
Hazard mitigation plans are prepared and adopted by communities with the
primary purpose of identifying, assessing, and reducing the long-term risk to life
and property from hazard events.
Effective mitigation planning can break the cycle of disaster damage,
reconstruction, and repeated damage.

community vulnerabilities, as well as existing mitigation capabilities and activities
Engages and communicates with the public, community leaders, and other
stakeholders on the assessment and mitigation of known hazards
Communicates local risk reduction priorities to state and federal officials
Communicates priorities to potential funders
Cohesive Planning
Mitigation planning is most powerful when it is combined with other planning processes,
regulations, policies, and decisions.
Aligns risk reduction strategies with other State, Tribal, or community objectives
Integrates planning efforts and risk reduction with other community planning
efforts leading to efficiencies when implementing projects and making long-term
planning more holistic
Makes the hazard mitigation plan a meaningful planning document rather than a
requirement that simply needs to be submitted to FEMA for approval

Overbank Flood Hazards
The HAZUS-MH Flood Model determines the flood risk to a community based
on nationwide GIS data sets. The model allows users to characterize flood levels and
estimate the expected amounts of damage to buildings and infrastructure as well as the
amount of displaced population, shelter requirements, and a variety of other outputs. The
FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) indicate that most of Will County’s built
environment is outside of the Base Flood Elevation area. The Base Flood Elevation
(BFE) is defined as the area that has a 1% chance of flooding in any given year.
Overbank flooding of Will County was modeled using FEMA’s GIS-based HAZUS-MH
risk assessment application. The flood hazard modeling was based on areas that are
potentially vulnerable to flooding as indicated on the digital flood maps provided by Will
County.
Review Existing Information
Existing maps were used to identify the areas of study. Will County has digitized
copies of the hardcopy FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS). Hydrologic
analysis was performed for all reaches identified in the Will County flood GIS data.
Analysis
The HAZUS-MH Flood model can be used in a variety of ways for the purpose of
predicting flooding and assessing the impacts of that flooding. Model options range from
having HAZUS perform all necessary hydrologic and hydraulic calculations based solely
upon a user provided digital elevation model to integrating selected output from other
flood models for the purpose of developing what are typically more accurate flood depth
grids.
The analysis conducted for Will County used two different approaches that took
advantage of the capabilities of the HAZUS model. In both cases, we studied the
potential impacts of overbank flooding along the Calumet River which were based upon
the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) defined on the flood maps for that area. The BFE is
defined as the area that has a 1% chance of flooding in any given year. For the first type
of analysis we applied a level 2 methodology which used discharges from the Will
County FEMA Flood Insurance Study, Revised March 2003. This study utilized
discharges for streams studied in detail.
For the second type of HAZUS-MH analysis, a Level I methodology was applied
for the remaining flood prone stream segments. A Level I methodology performs the
entire hydrologic and hydraulic analysis based upon a user provided digital elevation

model. For this project we used the elevation model obtained from Will County. This
digital elevation model consists of elevation points at approximately 1 meter intervals.
Assumptions:
HAZUS generates a combination of site specific and aggregated loss estimates
depending upon the analysis options that are selected and upon the input that is
provided by the user. Aggregate inventory loss estimates – which include
building stock analysis - are based upon the assumption that building stock is
evenly distributed across census blocks. Therefore, it is possible that
overestimates of damage will occur in some areas while underestimates will occur
in other areas. With this in mind, total losses tend to be more reliable over larger
geographic areas than for individual census blocks.
Site specific analysis is based upon loss estimations for individual structures.
Analysis of site specific structures takes into account the depth of water in
relation to the structure. It also takes into account the actual dollar exposure to
the structure for the costs of building reconstruction, content, and inventory.
However, damages are based upon the assumption that each structure falls into a
structural class – for example, small versus large hospitals - and that structures in
each class will respond in similar fashion to a specific depth of flooding. Site
specific analysis is also based upon a point location rather than a polygon and
therefore the model does not account for the percentage of a building that is
inundated. These assumptions suggest that the loss estimates for site specific
structures as well as for aggregate structural losses need to be viewed as
approximations of losses that are subject to considerable variability rather than as
exact engineering estimates of losses to individual structures.
Results
The total economic loss is included in Table 1 and depicted by census block in
Figures 1 and 2. The majority of the estimated building losses, 88%, were related to
flooding of residential structures. As expected, the majority of the flood damage occurs
in the western half of the county in the urban areas near the City of Joliet. Figures 3, 4,
and 5 include five flood prone areas with orthophotos the HAZUS-MH calculated flood
boundary (in red), Will County digitized flood map boundary (in blue), and census block
outlines (in black) shown. These census blocks have the highest calculated economic
losses. These 9 census blocks had estimated total losses exceeding $6 million each. The
two census blocks in Figure 3 are located near Route 59 in the Village of Plainfield, and
are impacted by flooding from the DuPage River. Figure 4 shows a census block in Joliet
near the intersection of I-55 and Caton Farm. A number of the residential units are within
both the digitized and calculated flood boundary areas, and are also impacted by flooding

GIS analysis was utilized to determine the impacts of the 1990 Plainfield, Illinois
F4 tornado that skipped through Will County during mid afternoon. Although the track
of this tornado was identified, detailed information on the area damaged could not be
determined. HAZUS-MH data, updated with GIS data provided by Will County, was
utilized to identify structures within the damaged area. The potential loss from this event
was projected based on today's built environment and in today's economy.
Review Existing Information
GIS analysis was used to determine the potential impacts of an F4 tornado similar
to the 1990 tornado, the path of which was determined from a map provided in the 2003
Will County Hazard Analysis. The tornado path is shown in Figure 1.
This analysis used tornado widths determined by the Fujita-Pearson Tornado
Rating scale. These tornado widths were based on guidelines developed by Impact
Forecasting, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aon Corporation. It should be noted that
these numbers and descriptions are just guidelines and are based on conceptual wind
speeds, path widths, and path lengths. There is no guarantee that every tornado will fit
exactly into one of these six categories. Table 1 is a recreation of the Fujita-Pearson
Number table developed by Impact Forecasting.

Analysis
According to the Impact Forecast methodology, a F4 tornado will have a width of
0.3 to 0.9 miles. The Fujita-Pearson scale describes the impact as “Complete damage,
well-constructed houses leveled, structures with weak foundations blown off for some
distance, large missiles generated.” Once the historical path was digitized, two buffers
were created. The first was 0.3 miles in width (the yellow buffer) and the second was 0.9
miles in width (the orange buffer).The buffers are depicted in Figure 2.
The 2000 Census Block layer that is provided with HAZUS was then added to
ArcMap. For each of the two buffers, HAZUS-MH data consisting of the 2000 Census
Block layer, the building count layer, and the building dollar exposure were “clipped”
thus creating two new layers, each one the same geometric size and shape as the buffer.
For each of these new layers, the shape’s area field was updated.
A field was added to the table to denote the percentage of each Census Block that
fell inside the buffer. To populate this field, the area of each clipped Census Block was
divided by the area of the original Census Block. The percentages were then multiplied
by the original building count, exposure, and population values.

Assumptions:
It was assumed that all buildings and population were evenly distributed
across each census block. Thus, if 50% of a census block fell within the
buffer area, it was assumed that 50% of the structures and population also
fell within that area.
Figure 2: F4 tornado path and buffer
Results
The results of the analysis are depicted in Tables 2, 3, and 4. The figures for
exposure are an estimate of building replacement costs and assume the buildings are
completely destroyed.
Table 2 shows the estimated building damage by type and dollar loss within 0.3
miles of the tornado path. An estimated 2,413 buildings would be damaged, totaling over
574 million. Of the buildings damaged, 2,368 are residential structures, totaling almost
486 million.
Table 3 shows the estimated building damage by type and dollar loss within 0.9
miles of the tornado path. An estimated 6,718 buildings would be damaged, totaling
almost 1.6 billion. Of the buildings damaged, 6,590 are residential structures, totaling
over 1.3 billion.

Table 4 shows the estimated number of people affected. Within 0.3 miles of the
tornado path, there would be almost 9,000 people. Within 0.9 miles of the tornado path,
there would be over 23,000 people.
It is important to note that these estimates are based on an area weighted analysis.
In this analysis it was assumed that all buildings and population were evenly distributed
across each census block. Thus, if 50% of a census block fell within the buffer area, it
was assumed that 50% of the structures and population also fell within that area. In
reality, the actual number of buildings and people could be much higher or lower than
estimated.

Introduction
The CTE team contacted Dr. Robert Bauer of the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) to
obtain existing geological information and recommendations for earthquake scenarios. Three
earthquake scenarios were developed to provide a reasonable basis for earthquake planning in Will
County.
These included one deterministic scenario based upon input from the ISGS. A deterministic
scenario is based on a specific event without explicit consideration of the probability of its occurrence.
The scenario for this study was based on the June 26, 1909 5.1 magnitude Aurora, Illinois ( 41.6N
88.1W ) earthquake. According to the ISGS web site, this earthquake has been related to the La Salle
anticline in the Illinois Basin. During the earthquake, many chimneys fell, a stove overturned, and gas
line connections broke at Aurora. Several chimneys were downed at Forreston, Naperville, Streator,
Triumph, and Troy Grove, and one fell at Waukegan. Brick walls cracked at Bloomington, and
sidewalks cracked and many chimneys were damaged at Freeport. At Platteville, Wis., about 130 km
northwest of Chicago, an old building was cracked; houses were jostled out of plumb at Beloit,
Wisconsin about 240 km northwest of Chicago.
Additionally, the analysis included two different types of probabilistic scenarios. These types
of scenarios are based on ground shaking parameters derived from U.S. Geological Survey
probabilistic seismic hazard curves.
The first selected probabilistic scenario was a 500 year return period scenario. This scenario
evaluates the average impacts of a multitude of possible earthquake epicenters with a magnitude that
would be typical of that expected for a 500 year return period.
The second probabilistic scenario was one that allowed us to calculate an annualized loss.
The annualized loss analysis in HAZUS-MH provides a means for averaging potential losses from
future scenarios while considering their probabilities of occurrence. The HAZUS-MH earthquake
model evaluates 8 different return period scenarios including those for the 100, 250, 500 750, 1000
1500, 2000, and 2500 year return period earthquake events. It then calculates the probabilities of these
events as well as the interim events, calculates their associated losses, and sums these losses to
calculate an annualized loss. These analysis options were chosen because they are useful for
prioritization of seismic reduction measures and for simulating mitigation strategies.
Earthquake hazard modeling scenarios performed consisted of:
A 5.3 magnitude earthquake in Aurora, Illinois (deterministic scenario)
500 year return period event (probabilistic scenario)
Annualized Earthquake Loss (probabilistic scenario)
Review Existing Information
The ISGS team desires to model a large magnitude earthquake from the New Madrid fault in
order to ascertain the potential impact on high rise structures in the Will County area. However, it was
determined that such a model could not be run for the following reasons.
605
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Appendix B – Hazard Modeling
2020 WC AHMP Appendix B - 20
First, HAZUS-MH will not model earthquakes whose epicenter occurs greater than 200
kilometers from the study region. While it is possible to provide ground motion maps to
HAZUS which can then model the impact of such an earthquake event on the exposed
inventory, such maps are not available for the Will County region at this time.
Second, while this study did include updating of selected inventory components;
additional detailed building data would be required to model these structures since the
default HAZUS building mapping schemes assume all buildings are low-rise (1-3 stories)
structures, distributed according to a default classification of structural materials (wood,
concrete, steel, etc.) and designed to code. Because of the lack of detailed building data,
HAZUS will likely assume greater damage to high rise structures than will realistically
be produced given that it will assume that the maximum height of the structures is 3
stories and that the entire assumed exposure to the structures will be contained within that
part of the structure
Given the limitations described above, the ISGS recommended modeling a magnitude 5.0- 5.5
earthquake at the location of a historic magnitude 5.1 epicenter in Aurora, Illinois that occurred in
1909. The coordinates of this earthquake were 41.6N 88.1W longitude as shown in the figure 1 below.
Figure1. Earthquakes in Northern Illinois
Analysis
To model a deterministic scenario, such as the historical event based in Aurora,
Illinois, the user must input a variety of parameters. The parameters include the
following:
One of the most critical sources of information that is required for accurate
assessment of earthquake risk is soils. Unfortunately, NEHRP (National
Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program) soil classification maps only exist for
the southern portion of Illinois. NEHRP soil classifications portray the degree of
606
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Appendix B – Hazard Modeling
2020 WC AHMP Appendix B - 21
shear-wave amplification that can occur during ground shaking. Because of the
lack of soils data, the analysis used a default scenario with D class soils.
Dr. Bauer indicated that Will County and the surrounding area do not have a map
for liquefaction potential that could be used by HAZUS-MH. However,
according to literature, historical (moment magnitude 5.1-5.5) earthquakes should
not generate liquefaction and therefore it was determined that no additional effort
would be put forth to assess liquefaction potential for this study.
Will County has seasonal water table depths of 2 to 3 meters. These probably
should not matter since liquefaction should not be expected with earthquake
magnitudes below magnitudes of about 6.5. For the analysis we used a depth to
water table of 3 meters. ISGS recommended an earthquake depth of 5.0
kilometers for the deterministic Aurora earthquake. The historical earthquake
depths identified by ISGS ranged from 5 to 10 km.
HAZUS-MH also requires the user to define an attenuation (amplitude of the
waves) function unless ground motion maps are supplied. Because Will County
has experienced smaller earthquakes, ISGS made the decision to use the Toro et
al. (1997) attenuation function for calculation of ground motion.
Assumptions:
The probabilistic analysis and the annualized loss analysis do not require user
input of the variables listed above. The assumptions of the annualized loss analysis are as
follows:
Census tract-based analyses with the assumption that all aggregate inventory is
concentrated at the centroid of the census tract for purposes of performing loss
analysis
HAZUS uses USGS probabilistic hazard maps
Default soft soil (NEHRP Class D) conditions
No ground failure effects
2000 demographic information
2002 square footage data for building occupancies
2002 Means Data for Building Replacement Cost
Building-related economic losses only. Losses to lifelines not included Long term or
indirect losses not considered
HAZUS-MH is a planning tool. The application is not intended as a substitute for
detailed engineering analysis. The estimates of social and economic impacts
contained in this report were produced using HAZUS loss estimation
methodology software which is based on current scientific and engineering
knowledge. There are uncertainties inherent in any loss estimation technique.
Therefore, there may be significant differences between the modeled results
contained in this report and the actual social and economic losses following a

specific hazard event. These results can be improved by using enhanced
inventory data and hazard information.
5.3 Magnitude with an Epicenter in Aurora, Illinois
HAZUS-MH Earthquake Risk Module provides estimates of damage and loss to
buildings, essential facilities, transportation and utility lifelines, and population based on
scenario or probabilistic earthquakes. In addition, the Earthquake Risk Module estimates
the debris generated, fire, casualties, and shelter requirements following the disaster.
Based on consultation with the Illinois State Geologic Survey, the May 26, 1909 5.1
magnitude earthquake that occurred in near Aurora, Illinois is the best scenario to model
with the limitations on available data.
Results:
The results of the initial analysis, the 5.3 magnitude Earthquake with an Epicenter
in Aurora, Illinois are depicted in Table 1 and 2 and Figure 1. Table 1 identifies the
calculated number of damaged buildings by general occupancy classification. HAZUS
estimates that about 12,369 buildings will be at least moderately damaged. This is over
8.00 % of the total number of buildings in the region. There are an estimated 405
buildings that will be damaged beyond repair.
Table 2 represents building economic losses in millions of dollars. The losses
include capital losses as well as income losses. A description of the losses is included in
the table. The total building-related losses were 1,137.82 (millions of dollars); 6 % of
the estimated losses were related to the business interruption of the region. By far, the
largest loss was sustained by the residential occupancies which made up over 81 % of the
total loss.
Figure 1 represents the building economic losses by census tracts in thousands of
dollars. Analysis of this figure indicates that the most substantial damage would occur in
the north part of the county. This is consistent with the area that is currently developed in
the county.
Essential Facility Losses Aurora Event
The HAZUS analysis calculated no essential facility losses for this event.
Essential facilities include police stations, fire stations, schools, medical care facilities,
and emergency operation centers and are analyzed on a site by site basis.

500 Year Probabilistic Event
HAZUS-MH Earthquake Risk Module provides estimates of damage and loss to
buildings, essential facilities, transportation and utility lifelines, and population based on
scenario or probabilistic earthquakes. In addition, the Earthquake Risk Module estimates
the debris generated, fire, casualties, and shelter requirements following the disaster.
This scenario evaluates the average impacts of a multitude of possible earthquake
epicenters with a magnitude that would be typical of that expected for a 500 year return
period.
Results:
The results of the 500 year probabilistic analysis are depicted in Table 3 and 4 and
Figure 2. Table 3 identifies the calculated number of damaged buildings by general
occupancy classification. HAZUS estimates that about 1,524 buildings will be at least
moderately damaged. This is over 1.00 % of the total number of buildings in the region.
There are an estimated 18 buildings that will be damaged beyond repair.

Annualized Loss
HAZUS-MH Earthquake Risk Module provides estimates of damage and loss to
buildings, essential facilities, transportation and utility lifelines, and population based on
scenario or probabilistic earthquakes. In addition, the Earthquake Risk Module estimates
the debris generated, fire, casualties, and shelter requirements following the disaster. The
annualized loss analysis in HAZUS-MH provides a means for averaging potential losses
from future scenarios while considering their probabilities of occurrence. The HAZUS-
MH earthquake model evaluates 8 different return period scenarios including those for
the 100, 250, 500 750, 1000 1500, 2000, and 2500 year return period earthquake events.
It then calculates the probabilities of these events as well as the interim events, calculates
their associated losses, and sums these losses to calculate an annualized loss.
Results:
The results of the annualized analysis are depicted in Table 5 and 6 and Figure 3.
Table 5 indicates identifies the average annual estimated number of buildings at risk to
be damaged by general occupancy classification. HAZUS estimates that about 1,202
buildings will be at least moderately damaged. This is over 1.00 % of the total number of
buildings in the region. There are an estimated 1 buildings that will be damaged beyond
repair.
Table 6 identifies the average annual estimated economic risk in millions of
dollars. The risk includes capital losses as well as income losses. A description of the

region. By far, the largest loss was sustained by the residential occupancies which made
up over 55 % of the total loss.
Figure 3 represents the average annual estimated building economic risk by
census tracts in thousands of dollars. As expected the losses reflect the same distribution
as the 500 year probabilistic analysis.

Hazardous Materials (Arsenal Rd & I-55)
The U.S. EPA’s ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) model
was utilized to assess the area of impact for a chlorine release near a large industrial
facility located southwest of Joliet near Arsenal Road and Interstate 55. ALOHA is a
computer program designed especially for use by people responding to chemical
accidents, as well as for emergency planning and training. Chlorine is a common
chemical used in industrial operations that can be found in either liquid or gas form. Rail,
truck tankers, and barges commonly haul chlorine, as well as other hazardous materials,
to and from facilities. For this scenario, moderate atmospheric and climatic conditions
with a slight breeze from the west were assumed. The target area of Arsenal Rd and I-55
was chosen due to its large industrial facilities, rail and truck hubs, and the presence of a
large number of large quantity hazardous material generators.
Review Existing Information
The 2000 Census Block boundaries and population figures, as well as the values
for building counts and building replacement cost were extracted from the HAZUS-MH
provided inventory. The geographic area covered in this analysis is depicted in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Location of Chlorine Release
618
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Appendix B – Hazard Modeling
2020 WC AHMP Appendix B - 33
Analysis
In terms of the atmospheric conditions, ALOHA was setup with a wind speed of 5
mph at a westerly direction. The temperature was set for 68° F with a medium level of
humidity and partly cloudy skies.
In terms of the source conditions, a horizontal, cylindrical-shaped tank was
selected. The diameter of the tank was set to 9 feet. The length of the tank was set to 66
feet. These settings created a tank with a volume of 31,409 gallons. At the time of this
release, the tank was estimated to be 80% full. The chlorine in this tank is in its liquid
state. This release was based on a leak from a hole, a little less than ½” in diameter and
12 inches above the bottom of the tank.
Using the settings above, approximately 20,450 pounds of material would be
released. The image in Figure 2 depicts the plume footprint generated by ALOHA. As
the substance moves away from the source, the level of concentration of that substance
decreases. Each color-coded area depicts a level of concentration. These concentrations
are measured in parts per million, or ppm.
Figure 2: Plume Footprint Generated by ALOHA
619
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Appendix B – Hazard Modeling
2020 WC AHMP Appendix B - 34
The area in red, at 20 ppm, would extend no more than 1,647 yards out from the
point of release. The area in orange, at 3 ppm, would extend no more than 2.6 miles out
from the point of release. The area in yellow, at 1 ppm, would extend no more than 4.6
miles out from the point of release. The gray area depicts what ALOHA refers to as
“uncertainty lines”, which means that within the confines of the entire plume footprint,
the ALOHA model is 95% confident that the release will stay within this boundary.
The 2000 Census Block layer was added to ArcMap and overlaid with the plume
footprint. The 2000 Census Block layer was then clipped against each of the four
footprint areas. Clipping could be defined as the process of extracting features from one
layer, in this case the 2000 Census Block layer, based on the boundary of another layer,
in this case one of the four footprint areas. Figures 3 and 4 depict the 2000 Census Block
areas before and after the “clipping” process.

Figure 4: The 2000 Census Block Areas after the “Clipping” Process
A field was added to the table to denote the percentage of each Census Block that
fell inside each of the four footprint areas. To populate this field, the area of each clipped
Census Block was divided by the area of the original Census Block. The percentages
were then multiplied by the building count and exposure values.
Assumptions:
For this analysis it was assumed that all buildings and population were
evenly distributed across each census block. Thus, if 50% of a census
block fell within the buffer area, it was assumed that 50% of the structures
and population also fell within that area.
621
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Appendix B – Hazard Modeling
2020 WC AHMP Appendix B - 36
Results
By summarizing the results of each of the four footprint areas, the GIS analysis
estimates that as many as 1,783 buildings could be exposed. The inventory data upon
which these estimates are based was obtained from the HAZUS-MH provided dataset.
This dataset was compiled through a combination of 2000 Census data and information
compiled by Dun and Bradstreet for the HAZUS-MH application. Based on population
figures from the 2000 Census, approximately 5,427 people would be affected.
As noted earlier, it is important to note that these estimates are based on an area
weighted analysis. In this analysis it was assumed that all buildings were evenly
distributed across each census block. Thus, if 50% of a census block fell within the
buffer area, it was assumed that 50% of the structures and population also fell within that
area. In reality, the actual number of buildings could be much higher or lower than
estimated.
The results of the analysis are depicted in Tables 1 through 6. Table 1
summarizes the results of the four footprint areas in terms of buildings counts and
replacement costs. Table 2 summarizes the results of the four footprint areas in terms of
population. Tables 3 through 6 depict the results for each of the four footprint areas.

Hazardous Materials (Barge)
The U.S. EPA’s ALOHA (Arial Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) model
was utilized to assess the area of impact for a chlorine release from a barge traveling on
the Des Plaines River near US Route 6 and I-55. ALOHA is a computer program
designed especially for use by people responding to chemical accidents, as well as for
emergency planning and training. Chlorine is a common chemical used in industrial
operations that can be found in either liquid or gas form. Rail, truck tankers, and barges
commonly haul chlorine, as well as other hazardous materials, to and from facilities. For
this scenario, moderate atmospheric and climatic conditions with a slight breeze from the
west were assumed. The target area of the US Route 6, I-55, and the Des Plaines River
was chosen due to its heavy barge traffic, large rail and truck hubs, as well as the
presence of a large number of large quantity hazardous material generators.
Review Existing Information
The 2000 Census Block boundaries and population figures, as well as the values
for building counts and building replacement cost were extracted from the HAZUS-MH
provided inventory. The geographic area covered in this analysis is depicted in Figure 1.

Analysis
In terms of the atmospheric conditions, ALOHA was setup with a wind speed of 5
mph at a westerly direction. The temperature was set for 68° F with a medium level of
humidity and partly cloudy skies.
This scenario was setup as a direct release at a rate of 50 tons per hour for a
period (i.e., duration) of 60 minutes. The source height for this release was set to 0.
Using these settings, approximately 100,000 pounds of material would be released at a
rate of 1,670 pounds per minute. The image in Figure 2 depicts the plume footprint
generated by ALOHA. As the substance moves away from the source, the level of
concentration of that substance decreases. Each color-coded area depicts a level of
concentration. These concentrations are measured in parts per million, or ppm.

The area in red, at 20 ppm, would extend no more than 2.2 miles out from the
point of release. The area in orange, at 3 ppm, would extend no more than 6 miles out
from the point of release. The area in yellow, at 1 ppm, would extend more than 6 miles
out from the point of release. The gray area depicts what ALOHA refers to as

Disclaimer:
The estimates of social and economic impacts contained in this report were produced using limited GIS and HAZUS loss
estimation data. There are uncertainties inherent in any loss estimation technique. Therefore, there may be significant differences
between the modeled results contained in this report and the actual social and economic losses following a specific hazard. This
analysis is intended to provide conceptual information that can be used to identify mitigation opportunities. These results can be
improved by using enhanced inventory data and hazard information.

Munitions
GIS analysis was utilized to determine the impacts of a bombing near a critical
piece of county government infrastructure, similar in magnitude to the April 19, 1995
Oklahoma City Bombing. In the Oklahoma City Bombing, a Ryder rental truck was
loaded with approximately 5,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and detonated
outside of the Murrah Federal Building. The explosion generated a pressure blast of
500,000 psi, destroyed one-third of the Murrah Federal Building, and created a crater
thirty feet wide and eight feet deep. The target analyzed in this hazard modeling is the
Will County Court House. This identified target is consistent with Will County's
Infrastructure Security Buffer Zone Protection Plan, which utilizes the Carver Scoring
system to identify high-profile targets.
Review Existing Information
The 2000 Census Block boundaries and population figures, as well as the values
for building counts and building replacement cost were extracted from the HAZUS-MH
provided inventory. The geographic area covered in this analysis is depicted in Figure 1.

Analysis
Buffers were created at 100 feet, 200 feet, 350 feet, 650 feet, and 1,150 feet, using
the Will County Court House as the point-of-origin. These distances were selected based
on the diagram in Figure 2. The distances listed above are where 5,000 pounds of
explosives intersect the incident overpressure curves.
Figure 2: Damage Impact as a Function of Distance and Weight
Each incident overpressure curve represents the amount of blast pressure emitted
from an explosive device. The area between each curve represents the amount of damage
that can be expected. As the incident overpressure increases (stated in pounds per square
inch or PSI), so too does the amount of damage. For each level of potential damage, a
percentage was applied when calculating the number of buildings damaged and
replacement cost. Those percentages are depicted in Table 1.
Table 1: Percent Damage Factor per Amount of Damage
Damage Type Percent Damaged Description
Severe Damage 100% Total destruction of most buildings
Heavy Damage 75% Over 50% of major structural and secondary
Unrepairable Damage 50% Sections of structure may collapse or lose structural capacity
Repairable Damage 25% Minor to major structural and non-structural deformation
Minimal Damage 5% No permanent deformation, minor damage

As stated above, buffers were created at 100 feet, 200 feet, 350 feet, 650 feet, and
1,150 feet, using the Will County Court House as the point-of-origin. The image in
Figure 3 depicts the Will County Court House building and its surroundings, with the five
buffer regions emanating outward.
Figure 3: Affected Area around the Will County Court House Building
The 2000 Census Block layer was added to ArcMap and overlaid with the five
buffer areas. The 2000 Census Block layer was then clipped against each of the five
buffer areas. Clipping could be defined as the process of extracting features from one
layer, in this case the 2000 Census Block layer, based on the boundary of another layer,
in this case one of the five buffer areas. Figures 4 and 5 depict the 2000 Census Block
areas before and after the “clipping” process.

Figure 5: The 2000 Census Block Areas after the “Clipping” Process
A field was added to the table to denote the percentage of each Census Block that
fell inside each of the five buffer areas. To populate this field, the area of each clipped
Census Block was divided by the area of the original Census Block. The percentages
were then multiplied by the building count and exposure values.
Assumptions:
For this analysis it was assumed that all buildings and population were
evenly distributed across each census block. Thus, if 50% of a census
block fell within the buffer area, it was assumed that 50% of the structures
and population also fell within that area.

Results
By summarizing the results of each of the five buffer areas, the GIS analysis
estimates that as many as 19 buildings could be damaged at a replacement cost of
$53,590,000. The inventory data upon which these estimates are based was obtained
from the HAZUS-MH provided dataset. This dataset was compiled through a
combination of 2000 Census data and information compiled by Dun and Brandstreet for
the HAZUS-MH application. The building exposure is an estimate of building
replacement costs.
As noted earlier, it is important to note that these estimates are based on an area
weighted analysis. In this analysis it was assumed that all buildings were evenly
distributed across each census block. Thus, if 50% of a census block fell within the
buffer area, it was assumed that 50% of the structures and population also fell within that
area. In reality, the actual number of buildings could be much higher or lower than
estimated.
The results of the analysis are depicted in Tables 2 through 7. Table 2
summarizes the results of the five buffer areas. Tables 3 through 7 depict the results for
each of the five buffer areas.

Questions
A workbook was provided for the review of the plan’s Goals, Objectives, and Mitigation Actions. First,
participants were asked to review the mitigation goals which were found to be consistent with those in the
2018 Illinois Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. The workbook tool asked participants to identify if goals
and objectives should be retained, amended, or removed. The review of goals resulted in all five goals
being retained with minor changes to the objectives.
Next, FEMA’s STAPLE+E method was used to prioritize mitigation actions. Each mitigation action was
evaluated using the criteria of Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and
Environmental. For all the hazards, each of these criteria was assigned a rating point:
Highly Effective or Feasible 1 point
Neutral 0 points
Ineffective or Not Feasible - 1 point
The criteria were totaled for each hazard and a priority of High, Medium, or Low accordingly assigned.

Target Expertise Input and Correspondence Summaries
HAZUS Installation and Integration
For the original plan, the Mitigation Project Team held a working meeting with Will County EMA and
Will County GIS Division. The Polis Center installed and implemented the HAZUS-MH software on
Will County equipment. To validate the installation and demonstrate the HAZUS-MH capabilities, the
Mitigation Project Team performed an Earthquake risk assessment using the HAZUS-MH default data.
Following the validation, the Mitigation Project Team demonstrated the software, data, and HAZUS-MH
risk assessment reports to the staff.
A mitigation action has been added to update the HAZUS models in this plan and to obtain a copy of the
HAZUS model for flood completed by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency for the 2018 Illinois
Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan for comparison.
Correspondence with FEMA on Past Disaster Declaration Information
For the original plan, the Mitigation Project Team contacted FEMA Mitigation Officer to provide input
and data on past declarations in Will County. The Mitigation Project Team was soliciting information on
the type of disaster, eligible federal costs reimbursed, types of Public Assistance project categories, and
other pertinent information for this project. FEMA could not readily access this information and
requested the Mitigation Project Team to contact IEMA.
Correspondence with IEMA on Past Disaster Declarations for Will County
For the original plan, the Mitigation Project Team contacted IEMA Mitigation Officer to provide input
and data on past declarations in the county. IEMA provided data on all state declarations by county, the
type of federal assistance received, and the federal costs. IEMA also provided weather data of past
events.
674
Will County Emergency Management Agency
County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan
Appendix E – Public Involvement
2020 WC AHMP Appendix E - 21
For the update of the plan, information on past declarations was obtained from the IEMA Hazard
Mitigation Plan and FEMA’s website: http://www.fema.gov/disasters.
Correspondence with US Army Corps of Engineers
For the original plan, the Mitigation Project Team contacted the US Army Corps of Engineers to obtain
information on hazardous material that is transported through the county via U.S Waterways, Harbors,
and the Great Lakes. The US Army Corps of Engineers provided detailed historical information, type of
materials, and insight on the county’s busiest waterways.
For the update of the plan, much of this information is now available online through various websites of
the US Army Corps of Engineers and National Transportation Safety Board.
GIS Integration Working Meeting and Correspondence
For the original plan, the intent of this meeting was to provide a brief tutorial on HAZUS-MH to Will
county GIS Division staff and to identify county GIS data that will be incorporated into the HAZUS-MH
model and GIS Analysis. The Polis Center provided the strategy of updating and integrating county GIS
data and the data documentation that will be required. A review was conducted of each attribute (field) in

Required for reports (i.e. number of beds)
Not required (i.e. American hospital Association (AHA) ID)
Data and information will come from another source (soil type from Illinois Geological
Survey)
Will County Stormwater Management Committee Coordination
For the original plan, a coordination meeting was held with representatives of the Will County
Stormwater Management Committee. This meeting was lead by a Mitigation Steering Committee
member who is also a member of the Will County Stormwater Management Committee. A brief
overview of FEMA’s Mitigation Program and the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000
were provided. An overview of the All-Hazard Mitigation Plan was discussed, outlining the goals,
strategies, and progress of the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Mitigation
Project Team solicited guidance from the Will County Stormwater Management Committee on what their
greatest risks were and requested their input.

For the plan update, a team of staff from the Will County Land Use Department included Nicole Roedl,
Engineering Technician; Owen Needham, Building Department; Tim Anderson, Certified IEPA
Inspector; and Scott Killinger, Chief Subdivision Engineer provided technical assistance in the review and
update of the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Email and Telephone Correspondence with Dr. Bauer (Illinois State Geologic Survey)
For the original plan, the Mitigation Project Team began correspondence with Dr. Bauer with the Illinois
State Geologic Survey to identify and quantify the risk of an earthquake to the communities of Will
County. Dr. Bauer provided a plethora of input on the impacts of an earthquake originating from the New
Madrid fault system, the Des Plaines impact structure, or the assorted fault traces in Northern Illinois. Dr.
Bauer also provided input on the hazard modeling scenario most likely to occur and what would truly
represent an event that would significantly impact the county.
Great Lakes Partnership (GLP) Coordination and General Meeting Attendance
For the original plan, the Mitigation Team held periodic meetings with representatives of the Great Lakes
Partnership and attended their annual conference in October of 2005. GLP’s mission is to bring business
and government leaders together for cross-sector collaboration to address critical infrastructure
interdependencies and related homeland and economic security challenges. Their goal is to proactively
promote business continuity planning through the use of best practices, information sharing, and
innovation.
The Mitigation Team attended the Great Lakes Partnership’s General Meeting on October 20, 2005. The
GLP General Meeting had the theme “Sustainable Preparedness” and was a day-long session attended by
subject matter experts and representatives of the private and public sector. The Mitigation Project Team
solicited input, recommendations, and ideas from private and public sector professionals, as well as
subject matter experts.
Local Emergency Planning Commission (LEPC) Solicitation
Will County EMA solicited input from the Will County LEPC and extended invitations to attend the
Committee Meetings. The Will County LEPC is an organization of industrial, governmental and citizen
groups whose purpose is to provide a forum in which the local community and facilities can discuss
issues related to hazardous substances.

Will County EMA Website and Social Media
Since the last plan update, websites and social media platforms have become key in providing information
to the public and receiving input from them. The public survey is an example of the effectiveness of
using social media to interact with the public. For the previous plan update, under 100 responses were
received for the public survey. For this plan update, over 1,100 responses were received with 36
communities represented. The sophistication of the social media platform data feedback and comments
of the survey participants provided an abundance of information to direct the use of these tools for
educating and communicating with the public.

Public Outreach and Input on Hazard Mitigation
Public involvement is critical to the success of any strategic planning process, including hazard
mitigation. It is important for hazard mitigation plans to target public concerns, comments, and
perception of risk as factors in the creation of mitigation strategies. To ensure consensus with the public,
the Mitigation Team developed several mechanisms to secure sensitive information and to still reach out
to the public to participate in the Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. Public input was
incorporated into the plan through various efforts.
For the original plan, Will County EMA held a public meeting to allow the public to participate in the
2008 Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. This public meeting enabled the community
to learn about their hazards and the mitigation planning process.

Public Survey
For the plan update, the Mitigation Team developed a public survey to gauge the concerns of the public,
as well as provide feedback to help guide the Committee in identifying potential mitigation actions. The
questionnaire targeted the public’s thought on what their and their community’s greatest risk is, what they
have done to mitigate their home, and what they would do when a disaster strikes. This questionnaire was
made available on the Will County EMA website (http://www.willcountyema.org), Facebook, Twitter,
Nextdoor, and other social media. Jurisdictions also participated in posting the survey. This allowed the
public to communicate their concerns, comments, and ideas on what their community and/or Will County
can do to mitigate from all hazards.

UPDATES TO 2013 WILL COUNTY COUNTY-WIDE ALL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
The update of the 2013 Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan consisted of a review of the
data, hazards, and hazard incidents that have occurred over the last five years. The Will County Hazard
Mitigation Planning Committee reviewed, analyzed and commented on each section of the 2013 Plan.
Edits and comments were made to the introductory and profile sections. The Committee used Census
2010 data, where available, or the most current information in updating the demographics and land use in
Will County. Occurrence and probability data were updated as part of the plan’s risk assessment.
For the vulnerability assessment, critical facilities, building counts, and losses were updated to reflect
changes over the past five years. The overall goals and objectives of the 2013 plan were reviewed and
workshop participants provided revisions for the Plan Update. Plan maintenance procedures were also
reviewed and updated to reflect current changes in staff and annual/bi‐annual meetings. A review of the
mitigation actions by the Planning Committee and workshop participants was conducted of the actions in
the 2013 Plan. Mitigation Action #10 was identified as completed, the remaining were identified as
ongoing with the progress of each noted, and two new mitigation actions were added. A status of each
has been provided in this appendix.
The following factors were taken into consideration when reviewing the 2013 Plan:
Whether the goals address current and expected conditions;
If the nature/magnitude of risks has changed;
If there are current resources appropriate for implementing the Plan;
Whether implementation problems such as technical, political, legal or coordination issues hinder
development;
If outcomes have occurred as expected; and
How communities, agencies and partners participated in the implementation process.

Mitigation Success Stories
Will County endeavors to improve planning and implement effective mitigation actions for the safety of
the public it serves and for the development of an inviting and successful place to live, work, and play.
County and local jurisdictions have come together to develop and implement the mitigation actions
identified in the 2020 Will County County-Wide All Hazard Mitigation Plan. Progress is being made
daily with jurisdictions coming together to identify and address the identified issues. Highlights include:
Flood Mitigation
Adopted DFIRMS as of February 14, 2019
Adopted the updated Bulletin 70 Rainfall data, revised March, 2019
Set the cumulative damage limit to a 10 year term, which aligns with FEMA insurance claims
Adopted additional freeboard beyond the Base Flood Elevation which is the minimum
elevation required for the Flood Protection Elevation (Base Flood Elevation plus one foot)
Incorporated density bonuses for subdivisions that utilized a conservation approach to
development
Continue to revisit participation in CRS based on leadership interest
GIS has been utilized to analyze the Kankakee River flooding after multiple flood events
The county is currently participating in the DuPage River study which has identified flood
prone areas for purchase or mitigation
The Subdivision Ordinance for Unincorporated Will County provided for density bonuses for
subdivisions that are designed as a conservation subdivision, including placing special hazard
areas into easements
Loss Avoidance Study was completed for the Village of Shorewood which estimated flood
damages along the DuPage River what would have occurred if at-risk properties had not been
mitigated. Results of the study show that 56 properties along the DuPage River were acquired
and demolished between 1996 and 2010. The study showed that for every dollar invested in the
purchase and removal of the properties, $2.24 of losses were avoided. The mitigation benefits, or
return on investment, have surpassed the initial investment.

Collaborative Efforts
Utilizing Web EOC to connect Emergency Services (EMAs, Police, Fire, etc.) during
evolving situations, provide them with current/past information, access resource information,
and document actions
A major effort to consolidate 9-1-1 dispatching was completed. Most notably, this
consolidated the dispatching functions of 32 public safety agencies that were previously
dispatched in four different locations into one new center. This greatly improves information
sharing during severe weather and other hazardous situations.
Developed and adopted FEMA approved Debris Management Plan
Participated on statewide steering committee to update the Illinois Plan for Radiological
Accidents (IPRA)
Participants from the IL-IN-WI Combined Statistical Area (CSA) came together to participate
in Whole Community conferences that provided training and opportunities to discuss issues.
Training and Public Awareness
The Emergency Management Agency has joined the National Weather Service’s Weather
Ready Nation Ambassador program to enhance our efforts to inform and educate the public
on weather-related hazards and preparedness.
Since 2013 – 32 people have obtained their Professional Development Series Certificate
(PDS) from IEMA; 24 people have obtained or renewed their Illinois Professional
Emergency Manager (IPEM) designation from IEMA; 3 people have received their Certified
Emergency Manager (CEM) from the International Association of Emergency Managers.
Public education has increased with the use of websites, social media, newsletters, and
video/radio PSAs. WC EMA utilizes and supports a speaker’s bureau and county-wide PIO
group as outreach for public education.
The WC EMA Public Preparedness Group (PPG) and local jurisdictions are active in
community events for public education and have reached thousands of people through safety
fairs and Community Engagement Events.
Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) has been provided to prepare the public
for emergencies in their communities.

WC EMA supports the Higher Education Committee for developing emergency preparedness
programs and training.
WC EMA has remodeled the county’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) providing
upgraded technology assets and a flexible set-up for emergency operations and training.
The county completed construction of a new Emergency Response Facility which includes
enhanced response and training facilities for training first responders and other officials.
GIS Use
The county continues to expand and integrate the use of GIS technology for planning,
response, and recovery activities. With the acceptance of the updated DFIRMS, additional
floodplain management projects will be implemented using this technology.
Tools were developed for use by field teams and for the general public to report and assess
damage following flooding or other events that cause damage. This has allowed for the
collection and analysis of information more quickly and thoroughly.
WC EMA staff attended FEMA HAZUS training.
Hazard Monitoring and Warning
The county has adopted the StormReady program and also has encouraged local
jurisdictions to participate. StormReady is a nationwide community preparedness program
to help community develop plans to handle all types of severe weather through the
implementation of guidelines that improve their hazardous weather operations.
Will County implemented a new radio communications system which supports the real-time
coordination of monitoring and alerting communities during severe weather and other
hazardous situations.
The Emergency Management Agency began use of a severe weather monitoring service
which increases the capability to receive timely and precise information on severe weather,
flooding, and other hazardous weather situations.
WC EMA has worked with the school districts to help them prepare for weather hazards and
has distributed 800 weather radios throughout the county as part of this program.
The following chart provides additional status reports on all of the 2013 Mitigation Actions along with
revisions and potential future projects/plans for the 2020 Mitigation Actions.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Argoudelis and Trustees
From: Chief John Konopek
Date: March 17, 2022
Re: Amended Parking, Standing and Stopping Ordinance
Background Findings
The Village currently maintains an Ordinance related to parking restrictions on Village streets. Attached
is a proposed amendment to that Ordinance, to include restricted parking on the north and south side of
Hazelcrest Drive between IL Route 59 and Meadowbrook Drive. Staff revised the Ordinance to address
concerns from residents regarding overnight parking and other parking issues at that location, including
blocked roadway access, driveways and/or fire hydrants.
The attached amended Ordinance is intended to further comprehensively address parking on Hazelcrest
Drive, to regulate parking in a manner consistent with other restricted parking in the Village, and to
further promote public safety in that area.
Policy Considerations
The Illinois Municipal Code (625 ILCS 5/11-80-1, et seq.) grants authority to the Village to regulate the
use of streets within the jurisdiction of the Village.
Financial Considerations
There are no financial considerations for the Village.
Recommendation
The Amended Parking, Standing and Stopping Ordinance is presented to the Village Board for review and
approval.
