  • All Hazard Mitigation Plan Twin Falls County, Idaho
    2008 TWIN FALLS COUNTY ALL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN OCTOBER 15, 2008 Preface The Twin Falls County All Hazard Mitigation Plan was developed in late fall of 2006 through the spring of 2008. It contains information pertaining to the hazards and hazard vulnerabilities faced by Twin Falls County. This Plan is designed to interface with the State of Idaho Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan published in November 2004 and updated in November 2007. This Plan has been developed as the Twin Falls County All Hazards Mitigation Plan (AHMP) however; the Plan was developed by an integrated effort from representatives from many of the jurisdictions in Twin Falls County. Each City will therefore be asked to endorse the AHMP and in turn participate in implementation of the Plan as it applies to the hazards in their respective jurisdictions. Further updates of this Plan will seek to increase multi-jurisdiction involvement.

    TWIN FALLS COUNTY MULTI-JURISDICTION ALL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN AUGUST 2013 Twin Falls Multi-Jurisdiction All Hazard Mitigation Plan August 23, 2013 Executive Summary The Twin Falls County Multi-Jurisdiction All Hazard Mitigation Plan 2013 is a complete revision of the 2008 Twin Falls County All Hazard Mitigation Plan. The entire Hazard and Vulnerability Assessment was updated. The hazard ranking was changed a new format deployed that ranks the hazards according to five indices, 1) historical occurrence, 2) probability, 3) vulnerability, 4) spatial extent, i.e, the extent impact based on geography, and 5) the magnitude which looks specifically at the loss of life, injuries, and economic impact. The Plan format was changed to match the FEMA Local Plan Crosswalk Guidance. The figure below contains the revised risk ranking for Twin Falls County.
