The planning process is as important as the HMP itself. It creates a framework for risk-based decision making to reduce HAZARD MITIGATION – Any damages to lives, property, and the economy from future disasters. sustained action taken to reduce or Hazard mitigation is defined as a sustained action taken to reduce eliminate the long-term risk to human or eliminate long-term risk to people and their property from life and property from hazards. hazards. PLANNING – The act or process of In the past, federal legislation has provided funding for disaster making or carrying out plans; relief, recovery, and some hazard mitigation planning. The specifically, the establishment of Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) is the latest goals, policies, and procedures for a social or economic unit. legislation to improve this planning process. DMA 2000 amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance PREPAREDNESS – Actions that Act by repealing the previous Mitigation Planning Section (409) strengthen the capability of and replacing it with a new Mitigation Planning Section (322). government, citizens, and This new section emphasizes the need for State, Tribal, and local communities to respond to disasters. entities to closely coordinate mitigation planning and implementation efforts. The new legislation reinforces the importance of mitigation planning and emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur. As such, this Act establishes a pre-disaster hazard mitigation program and new requirements for the national post-disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). It also requires that communities have a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved HMP in order to receive Stafford Act assistance, excluding assistance provided pursuant to emergency provisions. The goals of this Pulaski County HMP Update are to 1) reduce the loss of life and decrease property losses in Pulaski County due to natural and man-made hazards; 2) provide a framework and coordination to encourage all levels of government and public and private organizations to undertake mitigation to minimize potential disasters and to employ mitigation in the recovery following disasters; 3) improve data collection, use, and sharing; 4) facilitate sound development throughout Pulaski County to reduce or eliminate hazard risk; 5) enhance public awareness and understanding of hazard mitigation; and 6) identify and pursue grant opportunities to fund hazard mitigation actions and projects. The 2014 HMP Update was a complete rewrite of the 2006 Pulaski County HMP. The 2006 Little Rock and North Little Rock HMP were also integrated into the 2014 Pulaski County HMP Update. A rewrite of the HMP allowed for all the new FEMA requirements to be incorporated and ensure greater multi- jurisdictional coordination for mitigation planning efforts. The 2014 HMP Update was developed to assess the ongoing natural and man-made hazard mitigation activities in Pulaski County, to evaluate additional mitigation actions and projects, and to outline a strategy for better implementation of mitigation actions and projects over the next five years. Formal adoption and implementation of the HMP will provide many benefits to Pulaski County, its residents, and the business community. By identifying potential hazard risks and associated hazard mitigation actions in advance of a disaster, Pulaski County and participating jurisdictions will be in a more advantageous position to obtain pre- and post-disaster funding. Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants such as, HMGP, Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant (PDM), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program, each require the jurisdiction applying for the grant to have an adopted HMP. In addition, the HMP can provide National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) 1-2 PULASKI COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Section 1 PREREQUISITES Community Rating System (CRS) communities with additional points to receive a reduction in flood insurance premiums for participating homeowners. Through actively maintaining and updating the HMP, Pulaski County and participating jurisdictions will reduce their vulnerability to hazards in the future and better allocate resources for hazard mitigation projects. Pulaski County’s HMP is divided into six sections with additional appendices: • Section 1 – Prerequisites includes the purpose of the HMP, memorandum of understanding, authorities, and community description. • Section 2 – Plan Process/Plan Maintenance describes the process of how each element in the HMP was addressed and updated to meet FEMA requirements and the methods used to allow the public and neighboring communities an opportunity to comment and participate in the development of the HMP. In addition, it describes the method for monitoring, evaluating, and updating the HMP within a five-year cycle and provides the process by which

  • 2017 Annual Operating Budget City of Little Rock, Arkansas
    2017 Annual Operating Budget City of Little Rock, Arkansas First opened in February 1940 as the Joseph Taylor Robinson Memorial Auditorium, the Robinson Center Performance Hall and Conference Center reopened in November 2016. This followed a 28 month renovation and expansion of the facility. This $70.5 million project was financed by bonded funds provided by the existing 2% Little Rock Advertising & Promotion tax. The project was approved by Little Rock voters by special election on December 10, 2013. The design team was led by Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects of Little Rock and Ennead Architects of New York. CDI/Hunt Joint Venture served as the General Contractor and Construction Manager. The building was originally designed by the firm of Wittenberg & Delony working with Eugene Stern. The building was named for longtime Arkansas Senator Joseph T. Robinson, who died in July 1937, prior to the start of the construction in December 1937. The project was originally funded by the New Deal’s Public Works Administration. The building’s exterior and historic lobby were restored and the essential character of the landmark building enhanced. All of the interior spaces were rethought and reconfigured to provide enhanced acoustics, updated interior finishes, new media technology, dressing room upgrades, expanded loading dock and storage areas, expanded public lobbies and restrooms, onsite box office, a new centrally-located grand stair to link multiple lobby levels, new public drop-offs and parking garage vestibules and much more. A brand new conference center provides a flexible event space accommodating 530 people and four new meeting rooms above with direct access to a 5,477-square-foot terrace.
