Burke Engineering, Ltd. June 2007 City of Hammond Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Executive Summary Introduction to the Planning Process The development of a Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) is a requirement of the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). According to DMA 2000, the purpose of mitigation planning is for State and local governments to identify the natural hazards that impact them, to identify actions and activities to reduce any losses from those hazards, and to establish a coordinated process to implement the plan, taking advantage of a wide range of resources. The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region V offices administer the MHMP program in Indiana. In order to be eligible for future mitigation funding, the City of Hammond is required to develop a MHMP. The City of Hammond’s MHMP planning effort was led by the City of Hammond Board of Public Works and Safety, and was prepared in partnership with the MHMP Planning Committee which included the City of Hammond Street Department, Sanitary District, Code Enforcement Services Department, Police Department, Fire Department, Environmental Management Department, Emergency Management Agency, Health Department, Parks and Recreation Department, Planning and Development Department, Water Department, and the Mayor’s Office. In June 2007, the plan was presented at a public meeting and was made available for public review at the Hammond Public Library and via the City’s webpage. Additional information on the planning process is available in Section 1 of the MHMP. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment A key component of the planning process involved the identification and mapping of critical facilities, which are those facilities that are vital to the health, safety, and welfare of the City’s population. In total, 162 critical facilities, including 2 bus stations, 1 broadcast facility, 3 communications centers, 1 community center, 2 emergency operations centers, 7 fire stations, 6 police stations, 24 government facilities, 49 hazardous materials handlers, 2 marinas, 9 medical facilities, 1 military facility, 3 potable water facilities, 1 power station, 45 schools, 5 railway stations, and 1 wastewater treatment plant were identified within the City of Hammond. Additional information on critical facility identification is available in Section 2 of the MHMP. Once critical facilities were identified, the Planning Committee determined that

As an organization, we intend to use these indicators to guide our ongoing deliberations concerning the region. We hope that they will be used in other ways as well. Most importantly, we hope that the policy recommendations included at the conclusion of each section will be used by decision-makers to craft public policy at the local, county, regional, and state levels of government. We believe that the business community can use this report to formulate investment and community engagement strategies. We anticipate that various institutions in the nonprofit and civil sectors of our community will use it to develop initiatives in keeping with their respective missions. Similarly, we encourage organizations that have a more local focus to use our indicators as a backdrop against which to develop and pursue their objectives. We encourage the media to use this report in deciding when and how to facilitate the public’s ongoing discussions about the future of the region. We hope that this report and the analyses that it engenders will contribute to a broader understanding of the region’s assets, challenges, and potential among citizens. Finally, we encourage school systems to use this report to supplement curricula, particularly at the high school level. As is noted above, this edition of our indicators is a draft.

Michael Opinker - The last Council Meeting on the 25th of July, I didn’t realize that was going to be my last Council Meeting as Council President. Being Councilman for 6 plus years has been a great experience for myself and thanking all of you folks for the trust that you put in me as being President for the last four and half years. It’s been a learning experience. There was a lot of times that we all didn’t agree on certain things but then there was a lot of times, you know, we battled for what’s right. Like I says, I respect everybody’s decision in what we’ve concluded in our decisions as Council President and passing of hundreds of ordinances and resolutions. First of all I’d like to thank my constituents. If it wasn’t for all my constituents in the 5th District I wouldn’t have had that opportunity to act as their Councilman in the 5th. My Precinct Committee people and all of you, starting with Mayor McDermott.

  • Exhibit-2-West-Lake-Corridor-Project
    Execution Version EXHIBIT 2 West Lake Corridor Project The West Lake Corridor Project is an approximate eight-mile southern extension of the existing NICTD South Shore Line (SSL) between Dyer and Hammond, Indiana. Traveling north from the southern terminus near Main Street at the Munster/Dyer municipal boundary, the West Lake Project will include new track operating at-grade on a separate right-of-way (to be acquired) adjacent to the CSX Transportation (CSX) Monon Subdivision freight line in Dyer and Munster. Continuing north, the West Lake Project alignment will be elevated from 45th Street to the Canadian National Railway (CN) Elsdon Subdivision freight line at Maynard Junction. North of the CN, the West Lake Project alignment will return to grade and join with the publicly owned former Monon Railroad corridor in Munster and Hammond, Indiana, and continue north. The West Lake Project alignment will cross under US 80/94 and continue north on the former Monon Railroad corridor until Sibley Street. From Douglas Street north, the West Lake Project will be elevated over all streets and railroads, using a combination of retaining walls, elevated structures, and bridges. The West Lake Project will end just east of the Indiana Harbor Belt at the state line, where it would connect with the SSL. West Lake trains would operate on the existing Metra Electric District (MED) line for the final 14 miles, terminating at Millennium Station in downtown Chicago. Station locations for the West Lake Project are Munster/Dyer Main Street, Munster Ridge Road, South Hammond, and Hammond Gateway. The four new stations along the alignment—two in Munster and two in Hammond—would have high-level station platforms proposed to be approximately 10 feet wide and vary in length from 210 to 550 feet.
