Part 1: Introduction Part 1: INTRODUCTION

Waller County’s previous Hazard Mitigation Plan was adopted in 2006 and updated in 2011 as part of a seven-county Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan (RHMP). Due to new regulation and planning recommendations, Waller County prepared a new countywide multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMAP). Waller County partnered with the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) for both the 2006 and 2011 plans and continued this partnership during the development and adoption of the HMAP.

Image source: https://www.wikipedia.org/ History On April 28, 2006, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) approved the first RHMP. H-GAC prepared the regional plan in coordination with FEMA and TDEM to ensure it met all applicable state and federal requirements. H-GAC updated the RHMP in 2011 to re- assess vulnerabilities and increase the number and diversity of mitigation action items. The plan includes a more robust assessment of natural hazards, newly uncovered vulnerabilities, more advanced analysis techniques, and a more effective and informed mitigation strategy.

Purpose of Plan The purpose of Waller County’s HMAP is to reduce the loss of life and property within the county and lessen the negative impacts of natural disasters. Vulnerability to several natural hazards has been identified through research, analysis, and public input. These hazards threaten the safety of residents and have the potential to damage or destroy both public and private property, disrupt the local economy, and impact the overall quality of life of individuals who live, work, and play in the county. While natural hazards cannot be eliminated, the effective reduction of a hazard’s impact can be accomplished through thoughtful planning and action.

The concept and practice of reducing risks to people and property from known hazards is generally referred to as hazard mitigation. One of the most effective tools a community can use to reduce hazard vulnerability is developing, adopting, and updating a hazard mitigation plan as needed. A hazard mitigation plan establishes the broad community vision and guiding principles for reducing hazard risk, including the development of specific mitigation actions designed to eliminate or reduce identified vulnerabilities.

Scope of Plan Waller County is in the east-central region of Texas, and scope of the HMAP includes the following participating jurisdictions:

• Unincorporated Waller County • City of Brookshire • City of Hempstead • City of Pattinson • Town of Pine Island • City of Prairie View • City of Waller

Presidential Declared Disasters Waller County has persevered through many natural disasters. The table below lists the presidential declared disasters that the County has experienced since 2000. Each disaster is costly and challenging. The goal of this HMAP is mitigation and reduce the impact of future disasters.

Part 2: Planning Process Part 2: PLANNING PROCESS

This section includes a description of the process used by H-GAC, the County, and participating jurisdictions to develop the 2017 HMAP.

Overview

Hazard mitigation planning can be described as the means to break the repetitive cycle of disaster loss. A core assumption of hazard mitigation is that pre-disaster investments will significantly reduce the demand for post- disaster assistance by alleviating the need for emergency response, repair, recovery, and reconstruction.

Hazard mitigation planning is the process of identifying natural hazards, understanding community capabilities and resources, identifying and assessing hazard vulnerability and risk, and determining how to minimize or manage those risks. In partnership with Walker County, H-GAC approached the hazard mitigation planning process by establishing a Planning Team. The next step of the planning process was the assessment of hazards and how they can impact specific assets. H-GAC conducted a hazard analysis that was provided to the Planning Team and presented at a public meeting on October 11, 2017.

After hazard identification and analysis, communities considered their vulnerability to the identified threats. Crucial input from the participating jurisdictions and members of the public helped inform a vulnerability and risk assessment for the entire county. H-GAC used information gathered from meetings with the Planning Team, online participation and input from the participating jurisdictions, and natural hazard modeling techniques to produce a comprehensive vulnerability assessment.

The planning process culminated in a mitigation strategy, i.e. identification of specific mitigation actions, which when viewed as a whole, represents a comprehensive strategy to reduce the impact of hazards. The Planning Team met on December 18, 2017, to begin the process of developing an overarching mitigation strategy, and a long-term approach to update and maintain the HMAP. Specific mitigation actions are identified in this plan and included in the Appendix E. Responsibility for each mitigation action is assigned to a specific individual, department or agency along with a schedule for its implementation. Plan Maintenance procedures (Part 8 of this plan) establish procedures to monitor progress, including the regular evaluation and enhancement of the Plan. Multijurisdictional coordination and integration of the HMAP into local planning mechanisms was also addressed. The established maintenance procedures ensure that the plan remains a dynamic and functional document over time.

Plan Development Resources

The Walker County HMAP was developed using existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information. Materials and historic data were used to inform participants throughout the planning process, evaluate and analyze hazards, and develop the mitigation strategy.

Planning Team

Walker County and H-GAC established the Planning Team in Fall 2017 in preparation for the first public meeting and hazard mitigation planning workshop held on October 11, 2017. Members were asked to attend all public meetings in person, but were provided an online alternative if they were unable to do so. Walker County's webpage for online participation was hosted on the H-GAC website at the following website address: http://www.h- gac.com/community/community/hazard/walker-county-hazard-mitigation.aspx In the event the webpage address changes, online materials, surveys, forms, and documentation are provided in Appendix A.

Representatives from the County Office of Emergency Management served as liaisons between H-GAC and stakeholders, staff, and members of the public who were unable to attend the meetings.

Meeting Dates & Details

October 11, 2017: Hazard Mitigation Kickoff Meeting H-GAC and the Planning Team hosted a public meeting at the Walker County Storm Shelter on October 11, 2017. The purpose of the meeting was for H-GAC staff to gather feedback and input on the draft Hazard Analysis and discuss local vulnerabilities. The planning team and members of the community were given a presentation and provided large maps displaying the analysis of various hazards. Participants worked with H-GAC staff to improve the accuracy of the analysis and pinpoint the vulnerabilities of each hazard within their communities. Meeting participants also discussed their current ability to mitigate these threats and how to draft a mitigation action to address them. Prior to the meeting, community members and stakeholders were invited through press releases, public service announcements, and other advertisements in the Huntsville Item Newspaper and on KSAM Radio 101.7 FM. See Appendix A for the meeting agenda, attendee information, and press release.

December 18, 2017: Hazard Mitigation Strategy Meeting H-GAC hosted a planning team meeting at its offices in Houston on December 18, 2017. The purpose of this meeting was to begin the development of a Mitigation Strategy and determine Plan Maintenance procedures. H- GAC staff gave a presentation on both topics and led a discussion about strategy development. Planning Team members outlined a mitigation strategy and refined their mitigation actions. Cross county cooperation was also discussed. See Appendix A for the meeting agenda and attendee information

February 22, 2018: Community Rating System Workshop H-GAC hosted a public workshop on the Community Rating System (CRS) was held at Walker County Storm Shelter on February 22, 2018. The purpose of the workshop was to provide training for jurisdictions interested in becoming CRS communities and guidance on how to remain in compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The workshop focused on complying with the NFIP, addressing obstacles communities face when it comes to improving their floodplain management programs, budget restraints, and Hazard Mitigation Grant 2

Program (HMGP) grant strategies. The workshop attendees then drafted mitigation actions and discussed multi- jurisdictional coordination. See Appendix A for the meeting agenda and attendee information.

Request for Public Comment H-GAC hosted a draft of the HMAP on its website, and provided an online method for the public to submit comments and feedback on the draft. The jurisdictions' HMAP adoption meeting dates, public hearings, and locations were also provided on the same webpage. Press releases were then sent to all local media outlets to notify the public of the opportunity to comment online, by phone, or in person at each jurisdiction's public meeting. Each jurisdiction also notified the public as described in Part 8 of this plan. Please see Appendix E for public feedback and adoption documentation.

Plan Adoption

The HMAP was adopted by each participating jurisdiction through the governmental process unique to their community. The resolutions and accompanying information for each jurisdiction can be found in Appendix E.

Participation & Public Input

Public input and participation is a crucial element of hazard mitigation planning. Before the meeting, community members and stakeholders were invited through press releases, public service announcements, and other advertisements in the Huntsville Item Newspaper and on KSAM Radio 101.7 FM.

The public meetings followed shortly after Hurricane Harvey. Many residents and local staff were busy with recovery efforts at the time, and attendance was difficult for many. To ensure the public’s ability to participate in the planning process, H-GAC hosted all HMAP-related materials online at the following web address: http://www.h-gac.com/community/community/hazard/walker-county-hazard-mitigation.aspx Online surveys, resources, a mitigation action submittal portal, and a place to submit comments on the draft plan were made public on this webpage for the duration of the planning process and after.

To develop a comprehensive plan, each jurisdiction was required to participate to the fullest of its ability. The chart below provides a brief overview of each jurisdiction’s participation throughout the process. One or more representatives from each jurisdiction and/or a member of the public contributed during each stage of the plan development.

Part 3: County Profile Part 3: COUNTY PROFILE

Walker County is in the Texas Piney Woods, north of the City of Houston. Pine forests cover around 70 percent of the county, which is home to the western half of the Sam Houston National Foresti. The San Jacinto and Trinity Rivers both run through Walker County, and it also has shorelines on both Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston.

Walker County’s population in 2016 was estimated to be 71,484 and is expected to grow 66 percent by 2040 to 118,000ii,iii. Walker County has three cities: Huntsville, New Waverly and Riverside. Major transportation corridors include Interstate 45, U.S. Highway 190, and State Highways 19, 20, and 75. The largest concentration of Walker County’s population is in southwest Huntsville with over 3,000 individuals. The City of Riverside to the northeast and the City of New Waverly in the southeast of the county have a similar concentration of Walker County’s population, at 1,501 to 3,000 individuals.

Walker County’s economy is dependent on the public sector. Approximately 40 percent of the county’s employment is in public administrationiv. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is headquartered in Huntsville, and the county has more prisons than any other county in Texas. The county’s other major employer, Sam Houston State University, is a public university serving over 20,000 students with nationally recognized programs in criminal justice, theater, and dancev. Due to its student population, Walker County has a larger relative percentage of residents ages 18 to 34 yearsvi.

Walker County's annual median household income is $37,700, and around one-quarter of its residents live in povertyvii,viii. Partially due to a lower annual income, households in the county spend over 60 percent of their earnings on costs related to housing and transportationix. The county also has a much higher share of households living in RVs and mobile homes (22 percent) compared to the State of Texas with only 8 percentx.

The Vulnerable Population Index identifies areas throughout Walker County that may not have the means or the resources to act when a natural disaster occurs in Walker County. For the purposes of this plan, vulnerable populations include any households without a car, single female household with child/ children in the home, individuals living below the poverty line, individuals who are disabled, individuals who are Hispanic, individuals who are non-Hispanic, and non-white, and individuals 65 years and older. The areas in the county with the greatest proportion of these individuals is defined as the most vulnerable areas in Walker County. On the map, the areas in dark purple are the areas that have greatest proportion of the vulnerable population in Walker County. The map shows that New Waverly to the southeast is the city that has the largest proportion of the vulnerable population in Walker County. Defining and mapping vulnerable populations provides the opportunity to demonstrate where perhaps the most need is throughout Walker County.

Part 4: Hazard Identification Part 4: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

The State of Texas’s Hazard Mitigation Plan has identified 5 major natural hazards that affect the region. These include hurricane, flood, wildfire, drought, and tornadoi. The local planning team identified 12 natural hazards which could affect the county and local jurisdictions.

Flooding

Flooding is one of the most frequently occurring, destructive, and costly natural hazards facing Texas.ii There are two main categories for floods: general and flash flooding. General flooding is typically a long-term event that can last from a couple of days to weeks. This type of flooding is characterized by an overflow of water from an existing waterway, including rivers, streams, and drainage ditches. Flash flooding is an event that typically lasts a few minutes to less than 6 hours. Either type of flooding is capable of destroying infrastructure, homes, and other structures, and pulling cars off roads. However, flash flooding typically is considered the most dangerous type of flooding, because of its “speed and the unpredictability”iii. Generally, the impact of flooding is intensified in urban areas because of less impervious surfaces and in suburban or rural areas because of building in vulnerable areas. While 100 and 500 year floodplains are identified throughout the county and local jurisdictions, flooding can occur outside of these areas.

Severe Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms are classified as severe when there is either 58 mile per hour (mph) winds and/ or hail that is one inch in diameter or greater. While there are over 100,000 thunderstorms annually throughout the United States, severe thunderstorms only account for 10 percent of thunderstorms in the United States.iv Hail, lightning, tornadoes, wind shear, and floods can be a part of thunderstorms. In the United States, flash flooding resulting from thunderstorms kills more people year than hurricanes, tornadoes, or lightningv. Along the Gulf Coast, severe thunderstorms are more likely to occur in the afternoon and in spring and summer months.4

On occasion, thunderstorms can produce a microburst. Microbursts are a localized column of sinking air (downdraft) within a thunderstorm and is usually less than or equal to 2.5 miles in diameter. Microbursts are dangerous and destructive because of the sudden winds reaching up to 100 mph and the potential for significant rain or hail in wet microburst.vi

Lightning

Lighting can be seen throughout thunderstorms, hurricanes, intense forest fires, and winter storms. Lightning occurs when positive and negative charges build within a cloud leading to a rapid discharge of electricityvii. While there are several types, lightning is typically classified as ground flashes or cloud flashes. One of the more common lightning strikes are cloud-to-ground lightning; these strikes are classified as ground flashes. Cloud-to-ground lighting starts as a channel of negative charge, called a stepped leader, zigzagging downward in roughly 50-yard segments in a forked pattern viii

Lightning often strikes tall structures, such as trees and skyscrapers, but can also strike open fields or other areas depending on where the electrical charges form. Lightning causes an average of 80 deaths and 300 injuries each year in the United States.7 In 2017, 16 people were killed by lightning in the United States, two of these deaths occurred in Texas, but not in the county. ix

Hail

Hail is a form of precipitation that occurs when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere where they freeze into balls of ice. To be considered hail, frozen precipitation needs to be at least .2 inches. Size of hail can range from pea-sized (1/4 inch in diameter) to softball-sized (4 ½ inches in diameter). Quarter sized hail (1 inch in diameter) and above is considered severe by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Severe Storm Laboratory. Hail storms can result in significant damage to vehicles, buildings, and crops. Severe hail and hail swaths can result in an accumulation of hail on roadways and roofs, which may result in car accidents or roofs collapsing.x. As of 2015, Texas had the highest level of hail loss claims throughout the country. According to the National Insurance Crimes Bureau, hail loss claims totaled 400,000 dollars in Texas from 2013 to 2015. However, damage from hail typically occurs in northern Texas rather than southern Texas.

Winter Weather

A winter storm is any event in which the main type of precipitation is snow, sleet, or freezing rain, according to (NOAA), 70 percent of injuries related to winter storms are in automobiles. Winter storms form with cold air, lift, and moisture.xi While there are several types of winter storms, ice storms and snow flurries or showers with light accumulation are the most likely in the region. The main concerns with winter weather are road conditions and power outages.

Hurricanes and Tropical Storms

Tropical cyclones with sustained winds of 74 mph and above are classified as hurricanes. Hurricanes can reach wind speeds of 156 mph or more, which would be considered a category five on the Saffir-Simpson scale with potential for catastrophic damage. Hurricanes generally have a well-defined center, called the eye. Hurricane season is generally June 1st through November 30th each year .xiiHowever, hurricanes can and have formed outside of this season. Hurricanes are one of the top natural hazards affecting the region, with flooding considered one of the main impacts from hurricanes xiii

Tropical cyclones (rotating low-pressure weather systems that have organized thunderstorms, but no fronts) with sustain winds of at least 39 mph and no higher than 73 mph are classified as tropical storms. Tropical storms generally have ill-defined centers and slower moving winds than hurricanes.12

Hurricane Harvey is a recent example of the impact hurricanes and tropical storms have on the region, county, and local jurisdictions. Hurricane Harvey made landfall on August 25th 2017 as a category four hurricane near Rockport, Texas; Hurricane Harvey traveled further inland as a tropical storm over the next few days. The tropical storm triggered general and flash flooding throughout the region with recorded rainfall measuring as high as 60.58 inches in the region. Flooding was seen throughout the county and local jurisdictions.

Tornado

Tornadoes are a violently rotating column of air touching the ground, usually attached to the base of a thunderstorm.xiv However, tornadoes have formed during hurricanes and tropical storms. Tornadoes form when there is a change in a storm’s speed and direction. Tornadoes can have wind speeds that range from 40 mph to 300 mph and move at 10 mph to 20 mph. However, tornadoes typically last a few minutes. The damage seen from a tornado is largely due to the strength of the winds, but strong hail and lighting often accompany tornadoes .xv

Wildfire

Wildfires are any non-structure fire, except prescribed fires that occur in wildland areas, including prairies or forest. as many as 90 percent of wildland fires in the United States are cause by humans and the other 10 percent are started by lava or lightning.xvi In understanding that most wildfires are started by people, the Texas Forest Service assigns a high priority to year-round wildfire prevention activities that reduce risks to residents and property. Texas Forest Service prevention campaigns use radio, TV, print, and web-based products along with local outreach programs to increase wildfire awareness and deliver fire safety messages. Texas Forest Service works with local and county officials to keep them informed of fire danger and the likelihood of large damaging wildfires. In 2017, five Texans died due to wildfires in north Texas; Texas faced more than 21 million dollars in damages from wildfires throughout the state .xvii

Drought

Drought varies greatly in length and extent. High temperatures, high winds, and low humidity can worsen drought conditions and can make areas more susceptible to wildfire. Human demands and actions, such as farming and animal grazing, can also hasten drought-related impacts. There are typically four types of drought: meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, and socio-economic. Meteorological droughts are typically defined by the level of dryness over a given period of time. Hydrological droughts are defined by the decline of soil/ground water or stream flow or lake/ river levels. Agricultural droughts refer to the impact of low rainfall and storm water or reduced ground water or reservoir levels needed for agriculture. Socio-economic drought considers the impact of drought conditions on supply and demand of some economic goods such as grains.18, xviii There are a wide range of effects that can occur from drought, including decreased land prices, loss of wetlands, increased energy demand, and increase of mental health disorders.xix Impacts seen in Texas from drought in the past, include wildfires, loss of agricultural crops including rice and wheat fields, and increase in energy cost and demand. xx

Expansive Soils

Expansive soils are soils and soft rock that tend to swell or shrink due to changes in moisture content. Expansive soils (bentonite, smectite, or other reactive clays) expand when the soil particles attract water and can shrink when the clay dries. Changes in soil volume present a hazard primarily to structures built on top of expansive soils. In Texas, most expansive soils are in a band 200 miles west of the coastline, stretching approximately from Beaumont to Brownsville. These areas receive the most moisture and are also vulnerable to droughts, which can cause the soils to contract. Problems associated with expansive soils are sinking or broken foundations or ruptured pipelines. In the region, the problems associated with expansive soils typically occur during drought periods.xxi

Heat Events

While the National Weather Service defines excessive heat as temperatures that hover 10 degrees or more above the average high temperature for the region and last for several weeks, a Heat Event is more loosely defined. A heat event could be a period where the county experiences high temperatures which could affect residents particularly children and the elderly. According to the National Weather Service, the county particularly in summer months experiences typical daily temperatures more than 90 degrees and humidity more than 75 percent. These high temperatures mixed with high percentage of humidity can affect the elderly and children even though these are not above average temperatures for the county.

Dam/ Levee Failure

Aging infrastructure and increased uncertainty of other natural hazards such as flooding are factors in the rising concern of dam and levee failure. Rising flood levels can create a levee breech or dam failure resulting in flashing flooding within as little as six hours or less. Aging infrastructure and other factors such as debris or melting snow may create a dam failure or levee breach over a greater period of time, weeks to months. The results of a dam failure or levee failure can result in residential and commercial buildings flooded outside of the identified 100 to 500 year floodplain and increase flood water levels during a flood event.xxii As a result of Hurricane Harvey, the jurisdictions feel there is a need to further investigate the potential impacts of dams and levees in their community. Several privately-owned dams in New Waverly may have caused upstream flooding of homes during Hurricane Harvey. Residents and officials in New Waverly were unable to determine if the upstream flooding was caused by the poorly maintained and clogged dams, or if the historic rainfall experienced during Hurricane Harvey was the cause of the flooding. A data deficiency exists.

Part 5: Risk Assessment Part 5: RISK ASSESSMENT

A Vulnerability Assessment is the process of identifying threats by natural hazards to the population and infrastructure. By identifying the greatest vulnerabilities within the County, it becomes possible to develop a Mitigation Strategy that effectively allocates resources for addressing the most serious vulnerabilities. For this assessment, the Planning Team conducted three main processes to identify the vulnerabilities within Walker County:

• Cataloging critical and valuable assets within the County. • Conducting a capability assessment. • Assessing the County’s vulnerability to each hazard and ranking these hazards according to degree of risk.

H-GAC maintains a database of critical facilities. During a public meeting on October 11, 2017, Walker County officials reviewed and updated this list, including adding additional valuable assets within the community. Following this process, the Planning Team determined 126 facilities are critical or valuable assets. Through a Hazus analysis, the Planning Team identified residential and commercial units. Appendix B contains a comprehensive list of the facilities and the capability survey assessment. The full Hazus analysis is catalogued in Appendix C. A summary of the facilities is provided below. Critical Facilities & Valuable Assets

*Although the City of Huntsville is developing a HMAP of their own, the HAZUS analysis includes their residential and commercial parcel data.

Capability Assessment The participating jurisdictions completed a capability assessment survey to collect data on hazards that affect communities, the communities' ability to mitigate damages from these hazards, and current plans or programs in place to help mitigate natural hazards. The jurisdictions also identified factors impacting their capability to address hazards in their communities. The Planning Team used information to assess the risk within each community and to determine a strategy to integrate the HMAP into their current planning mechanisms. A condensed version of the information is provided below. Existing Plans & Regulations HMAP: Hazard Mitigation Plan DRP: Disaster Recovery Plan FMP: Floodplain Management Plan EOP: Emergency Operations Plan COOP: Continuity of Operations Plan RP: Regional Planning SO: Subdivision Regulation WPP: Wildfire Protection Plan CRS: Community Rating System

Jurisdiction HMAP DRP FMP EOP COOP RP SO WPP CRS Unincorporated x x x x x x x x x Walker County New Waverly x x x x Riverside x x x x

All participating jurisdictions identified an inadequate budget, shortage of technical staff, and shortage of administrative staff as factors that decreased their capability to implement mitigation actions and reduce future damages. Each participating jurisdiction will apply for state and federal funding to help fund mitigation actions that reduce the impact of natural hazards, send technical staff to continuing education courses, and work with elected officials and the public to increase their budget to meet their administrative staff needs and improve infrastructure. Unincorporated Walker County is a CRS participant, but has not updated their regulation and enforcement practices in the last five years. The County will expand their floodplain regulations so they become more effective, and will further improve their documentation practices. They will also expand their existing Wildfire Protection Plan and partner with Sam Houston State Park to eliminate underbrush that serves as wildfire fuel. New Waverly will join regional transportation planning efforts to improve their current hurricane evacuation plan, and improve their road infrastructure to improve economic resiliency. The New Waverly elected officials and staff will work to expand and strengthen subdivision and stormwater management regulation. The city will also consider drafting and implementing a disaster recovery plan and becoming a Firewise community. Riverside plans to expand their subdivision regulations and improve their floodplain regulation practices to reduce the effects of flooding on their community. The city will also consider drafting and implementing a disaster recovery plan and becoming a Firewise community.

Risk Assessment Survey The Planning Team ranked the hazards by scoring the frequency, impact, and vulnerability of each . Impact and vulnerability ratings were weighted more heavily than frequency scores when determining overall risk. Additionally, communities described the loss or damage, and provided specific data that expand on the descriptions provided below.

Part 6: Hazard & Vulnerability Assessment Part 6: HAZARD & VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS

Introduction After the potential hazards in the county were identified, the Planning Team reviewed historic data and conducted an analysis in ArcGIS for each hazard. This analysis was presented at the October 11, 2017, public meeting. At this meeting, stakeholders provided many firsthand accounts of damage caused by natural disasters. These reports were taken into consideration and included in the hazard analysis when possible. The result of that process has determined 12 different natural hazards require mitigation efforts. The maps and the discussion that follow are a compilation of data analysis, historic information, and public feedback. 6.1 Flooding 6.2 Hurricanes and Tropical Storms 6.3 Wildfire 6.4 Severe Thunderstorm 6.5 Drought 6.6 Lightning 6.7 Heat Event 6.8 Hail 6.9 Winter Weather 6.10 Tornado 6.11 Dam and Levee Failure 6.12 Expansive Soil

Part 6.1 Flooding 6.1 Flooding Floodplains are the primary tool used by FEMA to determine areas at risk of flooding. The periodic flooding of lands adjacent to rivers, streams, and shorelines is a natural and inevitable occurrence that can be expected based upon established recurrence intervals. The recurrence interval of a flood is the average time interval, in years, that can be anticipated between flood events of a certain magnitude. Using the recurrence interval with land and precipitation modeling, forecasters can estimate the probability and likely location of flooding. These are expressed as floodplains. The most commonly used floodplain measurements are the 100-year floodplain and the 500-year floodplain. The 100-year floodplain has a 1 in 100 chances of flooding each year. The 500-year floodplain is estimated to have a 1 in 500 chances of occurring each year. Flooding causes widespread and varying degrees of damage. The magnitude or extent of flood damage is expressed by using the maximum depth of flood water during a specific flood event. Structures inundated by 4-feet or more of flood water are considered an absolute loss. Other forms of loss. such as roads, bridges, agriculture, services, or death or injury are also summarized by jurisdiction in this plan. Historic Occurrences Damage and occurrence data for Walker County flood events is listed below. The data reported no loss of life or injuries as the result of these events, but Walker County reported one drowning death as the result of Hurricane Harvey on August 27, 2017. The monetary impact for Hurricane Harvey has yet to be determined.

NFIP Participation & Repetive Loss Properties The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a voluntary program that aims to reduce the impacts of flooding by incentivizing communities to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations. The NFIP provides affordable flood insurance for property owners, renters, and businesses in participating communities. This reduces the socio-economic impacts of flooding on communities through risk reduction via flood insurance, and reduces the physical impacts of flooding through beneficial floodplain regulation. All jurisdictions participating in this plan are NFIP participants, employ a full-time Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM), and regulate development in floodplains. Floodplain Management Ordinances: Regulations for Flood Plain Management adopted on 5/4/1987 Amended 5/14/2001 Amended 8/15/2011

To remain NFIP compliant, the CFM's office conducts jurisdiction wide permitting of new development, permit review, engineering review, flood code enforcement, document development and flood zones using GIS, educate the public, and provide public assistance. To improve flood mitigation efforts and enhance their NFIP program, the participating jurisdictions will adopt and enforce stronger floodplain management regulations for new construction in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). Walker County held an NFIP compliance workshop on February 22, 2018, to ensure its participating jurisdictions are adequately addressing NFIP regulation and to revisit regulations in the wake of historic flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. Community representatives evaluated current planning mechanisms for any contradictions with NFIP compliance and developed a variety of actions to promote the success of the NFIP. Unincorporated Walker County, New Waverly, and Riverside have a total of three Repetitive loss properties (RL). RLs are properties that have received at least two insurance payments of $1,000 or more from the NFIP within the last 10 years.

Hazard Analysis & Vulnerability Identification The hazard analysis uses historic hazard event data to determine the probability of an event occurring again within the next five years. The analysis calculates the average number of events in each jurisdiction annually and then multiplies by five. The hazard analysis also provides hazard extent data for each participating jurisdiction. The greatest historic occurrence data is the most extreme data recorded during a storm or hazard event and represents the worst damage a jurisdiction has experienced in recent history. The extent is the worst the jurisdiction could possibly experience. Information from stakeholders, FEMA, NOAA, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are the sources of data for the analysis. To identify vulnerabilities for each jurisdiction, this plan used the following methods:

• FEMA's Hazus analysis software • GIS analysis of critical facilities in the floodplain; and • Stakeholder identified vulnerabilities. Hazus was used to determine the economic loss and calculate the buildings stock that's at risk of flooding in Walker County. Shelter needs were also projected using this method. The complete HAZUS report is located in Appendix C. H-GAC maintains a database of critical facilities in Walker County. Using GIS, this plan identifies any critical assets located within the 500-year floodplain. Stakeholders then provided valuable insight into additional vulnerabilities within their communities.

The worst flooding reported by Walker County was due to Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Although the floodplain covers approximately 15.35% of Unincorporated Walker County planning area, Walker County officials and residents reported that 25% of the county flooded with one or more feet of water. City officials and residents also reported that 50% of New Waverly and Riverside also flooded. One death was also reported, but data is not yet available regarding the event.

Part 6.2 Hurricane & Tropical Storms 6.2 Hurricanes and Tropical Storms The Saffir-Simpson Scale ranks hurricanes that are formed in the Atlantic Ocean and Northern Pacific Ocean east of the international date line. The scale considers winds and the amount of damages that could be sustained by the storm. Category 1 is the lowest category of storm, while Category 5 is the strongest level storm. Tropical storms are tropical cyclones that have winds between 39 to 73 mph. While tropical cyclone winds do not reach the wind speeds for the Saffir- Simpson scale, according to the Beaufort Wind Scale, tropical storms are capable of producing winds that could break or uproot trees or create considerable structural damage.

Category Sustained Types of Damage Due to Hurricane Winds Winds Very dangerous winds will produce some damage: Well-constructed frame homes could 74-95 mph have damage to roof, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters. Large branches of trees will snap 1 64-82 kt. and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines and poles 119-153 km/h likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days. Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage: Well-constructed frame homes 96-110 mph could sustain major roof and siding damage. Many shallowly rooted trees will be snapped 2 83-95 kt. or uprooted and block numerous roads. Near-total power loss is expected with outages that 154-177 km/h could last from several days to weeks. 111-129 mph Devastating damage will occur: Well-built framed homes may incur major damage or 3 removal of roof decking and gable ends. Many trees will be snapped or uprooted, blocking 96-112 kt. (Major ) numerous roads. Electricity and water will be unavailable for several days to weeks after 178-208 km/h the storm passes. Catastrophic damage will occur: Well-built framed homes can sustain severe damage with 130-156 mph loss of most of the roof structure and/or some exterior walls. Most trees will be snapped or 4 113-136 kt. uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential (Major) 209-251 km/h areas. Power outages will last weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months 157 mph min. Catastrophic damage will occur: A high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, 5 with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate 137 kt. min.

Hazard Analysis & Vulnerability Identification The hazard analysis uses historic hazard event data to determine the probability of an event occurring again within the next five years. The analysis calculates the average number of events in each jurisdiction annually and then multiplies by five. The hazard analysis also provides hazard extent data for each participating jurisdiction. The greatest historic occurrence data is the most extreme data recorded during a storm or hazard event and represents the worst damage a jurisdiction has experienced in recent history. The extent is the worst the jurisdiction could possibly experience. Information from stakeholders, FEMA, NOAA, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are the sources of data for the analysis. To identify vulnerabilities for each jurisdiction, this plan used the following methods:

• FEMA's Hazus analysis software • Stakeholder identified vulnerabilities Hazus was used to determine the economic loss and calculate the building stock at risk of hurricane damage in Walker County for a 500-year event. The complete Hazus report is located in Appendix C. Stakeholders provided valuable insight into additional vulnerabilities within their communities. These findings are provided in condensed charts for each jurisdiction.

All Participating Jurisdictions Planning Area: Walker County and all participating Area Affected: Entire planning area jurisdictions; 765.3 square miles Greatest historic Hurricane Rita (Category 3 at Occurrence: 3 events in 12 years Landfall); 117 mph wind gusts occurrence: Event Average: 0.25 events per year reported during Hurricane Rita in 2005, and 33 mph sustained winds.

Extent: Up to Category 5; 157 mph winds Probability: Very likely; 1 event estimated to occur within next 5 years.

Vulnerability Impact Without a timely and effective warning system, Lack of a proper alert system to notify public of impending there is the potential for greater loss of life of hazards. property during hurricanes.

Hazus estimates that 1,738 homes and commercial $224 million in direct property damage structures would be destroyed or damaged. $23 million in business interruption loss

Part 6.3 Wildfire 6.3 Wildfire A combination of the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) and the Texas Wildfire Risk Assessment are used to assess the risk of wildfire. KBDI is an index that measures the daily water balance, precipitation, and moisture in the soil to determine the potential for wildfires. KBDI ranges from 0 to 800 units. Zero represents fully saturated soil or no indication of drought. A measurement of 800 is the maximum measurement for drought and indicates no moisture is present in the soil. In August 2011, the maximum KBDI value recorded in Walker County was 792. The minimum KBDI value, 41, was recorded in September of 2017. KBDI conditions can change rapidly based on short- term weather conditions, so the most extreme values should be considered when addressing wildfire risk. The Texas Wildfire Risk Assessment uses a variety of factors, such as fuels, vegetation, weather, and topography, to determine the fire potential of a specific land area. Particularly vulnerable are the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas. These areas occur at the intersection of development and wildland. With continued population growth throughout the county, the WUI zones will become more abundant. Because most wildfires are caused by human activities, the intersection of WUI and drought are particularly dangerous. Wildland Fire Assessment System (WFAS) KBDI Value Scale: Location: Score Description Unincorporated Soil moisture and large class fuel moistures are high and do not contribute Walker County 0 - 200 much to fire intensity. Typical of early spring following winter precipitation. Fuels are beginning to dry and contribute to wildfire intensity. Heavier fuels will still not readily ignite and burn. This is often seen in late spring or early 200 – 400 summer. Lower litter and duff layers contribute to fire intensity and will burn actively. Wildfire intensity begins to increase significantly. Larger fuels could burn or 400 – 600 smolder for several days. This is often seen in late summer and early fall. Often associated with more severe drought with increased wildfire 600 – 800 occurrence. Intense, deep-burning fires with extreme intensities can be expected. Live fuels can also be expected to burn actively at these levels. Source: https://twc.tamu.edu/kbdi

Hazard Analysis & Vulnerability Identification The hazard analysis uses historic hazard event data to determine the probability of an event occurring again within the next five years. The analysis calculates the average number of events in each jurisdiction annually and then multiplies by five. The hazard analysis also provides hazard extent data for each participating jurisdiction. The greatest historic occurrence data is the most extreme data recorded during a storm or hazard event and represents the worst damage a jurisdiction has experienced in recent history. The extent is the worst the jurisdiction could possibly experience. Information from stakeholders, Texas Forest Service, FEMA, and NOAA are the sources of data for the analysis. To identify vulnerabilities for each jurisdiction, this plan used the following methods:

• GIS analysis of residential structures within 500 to 800 KBDI zones; and • Stakeholder identified vulnerabilities. Wildfires pose a greater threat to the Unincorporated Walker County than to New Waverly or Riverside. The undeveloped state parks and dense vegetation in the less populated areas of the county present the greatest wildfire risk. Agricultural lands and homes located in the WUI are most vulnerable to wildfires.

To identify vulnerabilities for each jurisdiction, this plan used three methods:

• GIS analysis to estimate structural damage costs in each jurisdiction; and • Stakeholder identified vulnerabilities. Due to its inland location, severe thunderstorms often produce stronger gusts of winds than hurricanes. These winds have caused damage to roofs, homes, agricultural structures, trees, and powerlines. According to Walker County’s historic events, the County experiences one notable thunderstorm on average per year. Since 2000, the county has experienced one thunderstorm event with 84 mph winds or a Force 11 event on the Beaufort Wind Scale.

Hazard Analysis & Vulnerability Identification The hazard analysis uses historic hazard event data to determine the probability of an event occurring again within the next five years. The analysis calculates the average number of events in each jurisdiction annually and then multiplies by five. The hazard analysis also provides hazard extent data for each participating jurisdiction. The greatest historic occurrence data is the most extreme data recorded during a storm or hazard event and represents the worst damage a jurisdiction has experienced in recent history. The extent is the worst the jurisdiction could possibly experience. Information from stakeholders and NOAA are the sources of data for the analysis. To identify vulnerabilities for each jurisdiction, this plan used the following methods:

• GIS analysis of structures exposed to hail damage; and • Stakeholder identified vulnerabilities. Droughts often last multiple years have economic impacts that last longer than the droughts themselves. Walker County's agricultural industry has been determined the most vulnerable asset to drought. Walker County has 280,512 acres in agricultural production. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Census of Agriculture, the market value of agricultural production in the county is $415,000 annually; with 54% of revenues from crops, and 46% of revenue from livestock production.

Part 6.6 Lightning

6.6 Lightning There are two typical ways the magnitude of lightning is measured. The first is through the Lightning Activity Levels (LAL) grid. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) considers how many cloud to ground strikes occur over a given period as well as rainfall to measure the amount of lighting activity occurring.

LAL Cloud & Storm Development Lighting Strikes/15 per minute 1 No thunderstorms None 2 Isolated thunderstorms. Light rain will occasionally reach the ground. Lightning 1 to 8 is very infrequent, 1 to 5 clouds to ground strikes in a five-minute period. 3 Widely scattered thunderstorms. Light to moderate rain will reach the ground. 9 to 15 Lightning is infrequent, 6 to 10 clouds to ground strikes in a 5-minute period. 4 Scattered thunderstorms. Moderate rain is commonly produced Lightning is 16 to 25 frequent, 11 to 15 clouds to ground strikes in a 5-minute period 5 Numerous thunderstorms. Rainfall is moderate to heavy. Lightning is frequent Greater than 25 and intense, greater than 15 clouds to ground strikes in a 5-minute period. 6 Dry lightning (same as LAL 3 but without rain). This type of lightning has the Greater than 25 potential for extreme fire activity and is normally highlighted in fire weather forecasts with a Red Flag Warning. Source: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ The second method is through the National Lightning Detection Network by Vaisala. This Network works by recording when lightning strikes the ground, taking into account the location, time, and polarity of the strike. According to this Network, Walker County is rated 12-20 flashes per square mile per year.

Historic Events National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) records from 1960-2017 confirm one reported lightning strike in Walker County causing $8,000 property damage in 2008. No deaths or injuries were reported. From 2005-2015 the Texas A&M Forest Service reported 23 wildfires were caused by lightning strikes. One lightning strike was recorded in Riverside, and the other 22 strikes were recorded in unincorporated Walker County. Property damage, loss of life, and injuries were attributed to the wildfires and are captured in Section 6.3.

Part 6.7 Heat Event

6.7 Heat Event Heat Events are defined by NOAA as a period of heat resulting from the combination of elevated temperatures and relative humidity. A Heat Event occurs whenever heat index values meet or exceed locally/regionally established advisory thresholds. Fatalities or major impacts on human health occurring when ambient weather conditions meet heat advisory criteria are reported using the Heat Event. (NCDC)

Historic Occurrence June to August are the months that Walker County could experience the most severe heat, with average temperatures between 90 and 100 degrees. According to NOAA’s database no deaths were reported between 1950 to 2017 due to Heat Events, but the heat index reached dangerous levels on six dates.

Part 6.9 Winter Weather

6.9 Winter Weather The two main charts used to measure the magnitude of winter storms is the Sperry-Piltz Iace Accumulation (SPIA) Index Parameters and the National Weather Service's Windchill Chart. The SPIA chart measures the extent of ice in a region considering wind speed and the depth of ice on surfaces. The NWS Windchill Chart considers wind speed and temperatures to determine the amount of time frostbite may occur.

Hazard Analysis & Vulnerability Identification The hazard analysis uses historic hazard event data to determine the probability of an event occurring again within the next five years. The analysis calculates the average number of events in each jurisdiction annually and then multiplies by five. The hazard analysis also provides hazard extent data for each participating jurisdiction. The greatest historic occurrence data is the most extreme data recorded during a storm or hazard event and represents the worst damage a jurisdiction has experienced in recent history. The extent is the worst the jurisdiction could possibly experience. Information from stakeholders, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and NOAA are the sources of data for the analysis. To identify vulnerabilities for each jurisdiction, this plan used the following methods:

• GIS analysis of vulnerable populations; • Stakeholder identified vulnerabilities According to the CDC, adults over 65 years of age and children are the most vulnerable populations to winter weather related illnesses. The data available on these populations suggests that approximately 38% of the population in Walker County is vulnerable to winter weather. Walker County experienced an average of 19 days a year at or below freezing since 2000. In 2010, the county experienced its only recorded snow accumulation of 3 inches since 2000. The extreme average minimum temperature from 2000 to 2017 was 22 degrees. The County experienced several freeze warnings, frost advisories and winter weather advisories. However, on January 16 and 17, 2018, temperatures hit new record lows throughout the region, including Walker County. The recorded minimum record temperatures were 19 degrees and 12 degrees respectively with the highest wind speeds at 36 mph on the 1/16/18 and 23 mph on 1/17/18. One death was reported due to winter weather conditions, but no recorded data was available when this plan was drafted. Walker County experiences significant financial annual losses to winter weather. Most of these losses are attributed ice storms that cause dangerous driving conditions, falling trees, and power outages in homes. The most notable vulnerabilities throughout the county are the dangerous driving conditions and power outages. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adults over 65 years of age and children are the most vulnerable populations to winter weather related illnesses. The data available on these populations suggests that approximately 31.9% of the population in Walker County is vulnerable to winter weather.

Hazard Analysis & Vulnerability Identification The hazard analysis uses historic hazard event data to determine the probability of an event occurring again within the next five years. The analysis calculates the average number of events in each jurisdiction annually and multiplies by five. The hazard analysis also provides hazard extent data for each participating jurisdiction. The greatest historic occurrence data is the most extreme data recorded during a storm or hazard event and represents the worst damage a jurisdiction has experienced in recent history. The extent is the worst the jurisdiction could possibly experience. Information from stakeholders and NOAA are the sources of data for the analysis. To identify vulnerabilities for each jurisdiction, this plan used the following methods:

• GIS analysis of structures exposed to tornado damage; and • Stakeholder identified vulnerabilities. Walker County stakeholders have identified the lack of strategically located tornado shelters as their biggest vulnerability to this hazard. The tornado shelters are not adequately dispersed throughout the county and cannot be quickly accessed by residents.

Part 6.11 Dam & Levee Failure 6.11 Dam and Levee Failure According to FEMA’s Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Hazard Potential Classification System for Dams, extent is measured through judging the potential for human, economic, lifeline, and environmental loss.

Hazard Potential Loss of Human Life Economic, Environmental, Lifeline Losses Classification Low None Expected Low and generally limited to owner Significant None Expected Yes High Probable. One or more expected. Yes (But not necessary for this classification) Source: https://www.fema.gov/ Historic Occurrence & Hazard Analysis Walker County does not have any dam or levee failures to report. There are 51 known dams in Unincorporated Walker County, Riverside, and New Waverly. Each dam has been classified as 'Low' in the hazard potential classification and pose no risk to critical assets or the participating communities. The Lake Livingston Dam in neighboring Polk County is the closest dam or levee with rated with a high hazard potential if it were to fail. The Lake Livingston Dam is located northeast of Walker County and poses no threat to the participating jurisdictions in the event of a dam failure.

As a result of Hurricane Harvey, the jurisdictions feel there is a need to further investigate the potential impacts of dams and levees in their community. A perceived risk was reported by residents of New Waverly that clogged and improperly maintained dams caused upstream flooding of homes during Hurricane Harvey. The risk assessment was unable to validate these claims due to a data deficiency.

Part 6.12 Expansive Soils

6.12 Expansive Soils The chart below shows the Linear Extensibility Percent (LEP) and Coefficient of Linear Extent (COLE) to show the Shrink-Swell Class of expansive soils. COLE is a test frequently used to characterize expansive soils. COLE is a measure expressed as a fraction of the change in a soil sample dimension from the moist to dry state. The LEP is a measure expressed as a percentage of the change in a soil sample dimension from the moist to dry state. The Shrink-Swell Class is found in comparing these two measurements. A Moderate to Very High rating marks soils that have the potential to contract and expand, leading to broken foundations and water pipes, for example.

Shrink‐Swell Linear Extensibility Percent Coefficient of Linear Extent Class (LEP) (COLE) Low 3 0.03 Moderate 3 to 6 .03-.06 High 6 to 9 .06-.09 Very High Greater than or equal to 9 Greater than or equal to 0.09 Source: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov

Hazard Analysis & Vulnerability Identification The hazard analysis uses historic hazard event data to determine the probability of an event occurring again within the next five years. The analysis calculates the average number of events in each jurisdiction annually and then multiplies by five. The hazard analysis also provides hazard extent data for each participating jurisdiction. The greatest historic occurrence data is the most extreme data recorded during a storm or hazard event and represents the worst damage a jurisdiction has experienced in recent history. The extent data is the worst a jurisdiction could ever experience. Information from stakeholders, USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Services, and H-GAC's critical facilities database were used for this analysis. To identify vulnerabilities for each jurisdiction, this plan used the following methods:

• GIS analysis of structures within the high to very high shrink swell classes; and • Stakeholder identified vulnerabilities. High to Very High shrink swell classes marks soils that have the potential to contract and expand. This can lead to broken foundations and water pipes, and will be used to measure the area effected in the hazard impact analysis There is no soil with moderate to high swelling potential within the City of Riverside, and there have been no reported occurrences of damage causes by expansive soils. Because expansive soils pose no threat to the City of Riverside, they will not profile expansive soils. Unincorporated Walker County

Part 7: Mitigation Strategy Part 7: MITIGATION STRATEGY

The planning process, hazard analysis, and vulnerability assessment serve as a foundation for a meaningful hazard mitigation strategy. The mitigation strategy provides an outline for how the county and the local jurisdictions aim to address and reduce the risks associated with the natural hazards identified in the HMAP and reduce the potential impact on residents and structures identified through the Vulnerability Analysis. The mitigation strategy is divided into three sections the mission statement, goals and objectives, and the mitigation action plan. The mission statement provides the overall purpose of the mitigation strategy and the HMAP. The goals and objectives provide milestones for how the county aims to meet this purpose. The mitigation action plan details specific mitigation actions, or projects, programs, and polices the county aims to meet these goals and objectives.

Mission Statement

The HMAP aims to implement new policies, programs, and projects to reduce the risks and impacts associated with natural hazards, including public education and partnerships between local officials and residents.

Mitigation Goals

Based on the planning process and the vulnerability assessment, the planning team developed the following goals and objectives. The goals and objectives explain what is to be achieved through implementing the HMAP. These goals and objectives work with the mitigation actions to outline what the county aims to accomplish in the next five years.

Goal

Reduce agriculture and infrastructure losses due to wildfires throughout the county

Objective

Encourage all local jurisdictions to participate and become certified as a Firewise community.

Objective

Provide educational opportunities for the public to learn about defensible spaces and wildfire mitigation techniques

Goal

Reduce loss of infrastructure from inland and riverine flooding throughout the county

Objective

Widen identified culverts and ditches throughout the county and install flood gates on identified critical county and city facilities

Objective

Acquire repetitive loss properties and properties prone to flooding throughout the county

1

Objective

Revise and update floodplain regulations to increase base flood elevation in identified areas of the county

Goal

Maintain continuing of government operations during power outages due to all natural hazards

Objective

Implement backup power at special utility district water wells, critical facilities, and volunteer fire departments.

Mitigation Action Plan

The mitigation action plan explains the specific programs, policies, and projects that the county and the local jurisdictions aim to implement for the county to reach its HMAP objectives and goals. The mitigation action plan provides the details of each mitigation action including which local department will be in charge of implementing the actions, how the county or local jurisdiction plan to pay for these actions, and the estimated time for implementing these actions. Any mitigation action that did not meet a cost-benefit ratio of 1:4 was re-evaluated and amended, or excluded.

Each jurisdiction and the county then prioritized mitigation actions based on their greatest vulnerabilities and needs. Actions were rated 1, 2, or 3 with 1 being the highest priority. Within each of the priority categories, a sub-category for feasibility was created. Each action was evaluated for feasibility using FEMA's mitigation action evaluation worksheet (Appendix A). The actions were then ranked by highest priority and feasibility scores to the lowest priority and feasibility scores. The actions were then assigned a number that dictates their overall priority ranking with 1 being the highest and 35 being the lowest. The mitigation actions are listed by this priority ranking in Appendix E.

In Section 8 of this HMAP, the mitigation actions are organized by jurisdiction.

Part 8: Plan Maintenance Part 8: PLAN MAINTENANCE

To remain an effective tool, the HMAP will undergo continuous review and updates. This practice is known as plan maintenance and requires monitoring, evaluating, updating, and implementing the plan. To accomplish this, a Plan Maintenance Team (PMT) has been determined and is comprised of representatives from each of the County’s participating jurisdictions.

Plan Maintenance Team Plan Maintenance Team Leader Walker County Emergency Management Coordinator Jurisdiction Responsible Entity Unincorporated Walker County Walker County OEM and County Judge City of New Waverly Mayor City of Riverside Mayor Members of the Public Public

Public Involvement Continued stakeholder and public involvement will remain a vital component of the HMAP. The HMAP will be hosted on the County and H-GAC websites, and public input can be submitted at any time. The PMT is responsible for documenting public feedback, and presenting the comments for discussion at each annual Plan Maintenance Meeting.

The PMT Leader will also conduct outreach and invite the public to annual Plan Maintenance meetings. The PMT Leader will advertise all annual meetings in local newspapers, post invitations on the County social media pages, and post fliers at city and county buildings 30 days prior to the meetings.

In addition, each participating jurisdiction will seek input from the public on the status of existing hazards, emerging vulnerabilities, and evaluate the HMAP's strategy with the public. During each meeting, the PMT will provide an open comment forum for interactive discussion with the public. The development of new goals and strategies will be a joint effort between the PMT and public participants.

Procedures & Schedule Procedures to monitor and evaluate the HMAP were determined during the December 18th meeting. This ensures that the goals, objectives, and the mitigation strategy are regularly examined for feasibility, and that the HMAP remains a relevant and adaptive tool. The PMT will meet annually, and hold its first meeting within one year after the plan’s approval date. An additional mid-year meeting will be held 18 months prior to the plan’s expiration to develop a timeline and strategy to update the HMAP.

Plan Maintenance: Evaluation & Monitoring Procedures Method and Procedures Schedule Responsible Entity The PMT Leader will advertise all annual meetings in local 30 days prior newspapers, post invitations on the County social media pages, to annual Plan Maintenance Team Leader and post fliers at city and county buildings 30 days prior to the meetings meetings. The PMT Leader is responsible for evaluating the entire plan prior to the meeting. Each PMT member will be asked to identify PMT Leader, PMT member for and discuss any deficiencies in the plan as it relates to their Annually each participating jurisdiction, jurisdiction. Each PMT member will discuss their findings and Public followed by public input and comments. Emerging hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities will be identified and discussed. 1) PMT members are responsible for monitoring each natural hazard in their jurisdiction, and providing a written and/or verbal update on any new occurrences and Public and all participating emerging risks. Annually jurisdictions 2) The PMT Leader will seek input from participants and the public at the annual meetings by opening the meeting for public comment. 3) Newly identified hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities will be assigned to a PMT member to research and monitor. The PMT will evaluate the mitigation goals and objectives to ensure the HMAP remains relevant and the strategy continues to be effective. 1) PMT members will identify new projects and/or re- prioritize existing strategies based on changes in their PMT member for each Annually jurisdiction, emerging hazards, and shifting priorities. participating jurisdiction 2) Mitigation strategies for the newly identified hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities will be proposed and discussed. 3) Funding sources and multijurisdictional cooperation for new initiatives will be determined.

The PMT will develop a timeline and strategy to update the plan 18 months before it expires. The update strategy will include: 1) Establish entities responsible for drafting and submitting the Every 5 years PMT update to TDEM 2) Send appropriate representatives to G-318 training. 3) Determine funding needs and funding sources for plan update.

Plan Integration Integrating the HMAP into county and local planning mechanisms is key to its success. Effective integration allows communities to benefit from existing plans and procedures to further reduce their vulnerability and risk. Upon approval of the plan and approval of updates or revisions as proposed by the Plan Maintenance team, each participating jurisdiction will follow the pre-determined actions:

Chart 1: Hazard Mitigation Plan Adoption and Integration Procedures HMAP will be presented to the Commissioner’s Court by the Walker County Emergency Management Office. An agenda for the meeting will be posted 60 days in Walker County advance, and a 30-day period of public comment will be provided. Upon approval by Commissioner’s Court, the approved HMAP will be integrated into existing planning mechanisms described in Chart 2. The HMAP will be presented to the mayor and alderpersons by the Walker County City of New Waverly Office of Emergency Management. Upon review and approval by the mayor, approved & City of Riverside actions, amendments, and revisions will be acted upon and/or integrated into existing planning mechanisms detailed in Chart 2.

To update and revise existing planning mechanisms to further integrate the HMAP, each participating jurisdiction will follow a basic process(es) described in this section. 1.) Propose a policy, strategy, or regulatory amendment to the proper governing body. 2.) Advertise the amendment 15 days prior to meeting where it will be discussed. Advertising procedures for the public meeting(s) is outlined in the public involvement measures described in Section 8 of this plan. 3.) Provide the public, elected officials, and governing bodies the opportunity to discuss and comment upon proposed change(s). 4.) If the proposal is accepted, the change is implemented by the appropriate governing authority.

Several existing plans and programs that require integration of the HMAP have been identified by the participating jurisdictions. The PMT will initiate the process described above. As each participating jurisdiction develops or approves new planning mechanisms, the mechanism’s name and the integration method will be added to the HMAP

Chart 2: Integration of HMAP and Planning Mechanisms Planning Mechanism Integration Method Both plans should be updated and maintained in accordance with the other Disaster Recovery Plan plan’s goals and strategies. The HMAP will be consulted before any revisions or update to the disaster recovery plans are made. Both plans will be continuously evaluated and monitored. Any Emergency Emergency Operations Plan Operations Plan updates will refer to, incorporate, and/or complement the HMAP. New Waverly and Riverside will review their codes, and propose the adoption Subdivision Regulations of codes that support mitigation activities defined in the HMAP when appropriate. Each participating jurisdiction has reviewed the vulnerabilities defined in the HMAP and will adopt codes that support mitigation strategy and mitigation Planning & Development activities. PMT members will propose code amendments to the appropriate Regulations governing body, following to process to amend codes in the jurisdiction, and document any regulation amendments to be included in the HMAP update. Walker County and each participating jurisdiction will review their annual Annual Budget budget in July for opportunities to fund their highest priority mitigation actions.

3

Walker County and each participating jurisdiction was satisfied with their mutual aid agreements when the HMAP was drafted. If any mutual aid Mutual Aid Agreements agreements change and negatively impact a participating jurisdiction(s), Walker County and each participating jurisdiction will amend the HMAP to include the new vulnerability and include a mitigation action to address it. Walker County's floodplain regulations provide preventative measures to prevent future development in the floodplains, and it also provides corrective Floodplain Regulations guidance on development in the floodplain. When the regulations are updated, it will be reflected the mitigation action strategy for flooding in Section 7 of this plan. When the plan is updated or revised, the PMT will propose the adoption of Transportation Plan codes that support mitigation strategy and mitigation activities. The City of Huntsville within Walker County is developing its own Hazard Huntsville Hazard Mitigation Mitigation Plan. Upon approval, the Walker County Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan will be provided to the City of Huntsville Emergency Management Coordinator to ensure the plans are complementary.

Hurricane Global Risk Report Page 2 of 15 General Description of the Region

Hazus is a regional multi-hazard loss estimation model that was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Institute of Building Sciences. The primary purpose of Hazus is to provide a methodology and software application to develop multi-hazard losses at a regional scale. These loss estimates would be used primarily by local, state and regional officials to plan and stimulate efforts to reduce risks from multi-hazards and to prepare for emergency response and recovery.

The hurricane loss estimates provided in this report are based on a region that includes 1 county(ies) from the following state(s):

- Texas

Note: Appendix A contains a complete listing of the counties contained in the region.

The geographical size of the region is 801.50 square miles and contains 10 census tracts. There are over 20 thousand households in the region and has a total population of 67,861 people (2010 Census Bureau data). The distribution of population by State and County is provided in Appendix B.

There are an estimated 20 thousand buildings in the region with a total building replacement value (excluding contents) of 4,912 million dollars (2014 dollars). Approximately 93% of the buildings (and 84% of the building value) are associated with residential housing.

Hurricane Global Risk Report Page 3 of 15 Building Inventory General Building Stock

Hazus estimates that there are 20,068 buildings in the region which have an aggregate total replacement value of 4,912 million (2014 dollars). Table 1 presents the relative distribution of the value with respect to the general occupancies. Appendix B provides a general distribution of the building value by State and County.

Before the hurricane, the region had 106 hospital beds available for use. On the day of the hurricane, the model estimates that 0 hospital beds (only 0.00%) are available for use by patients already in the hospital and those injured by the hurricane. After one week, 0.00% of the beds will be in service. By 30 days, 100.00% will be operational.

0K 200K 400K 600K 800K 1000K

Hazus estimates the amount of debris that will be generated by the hurricane. The model breaks the debris into four general categories: a) Brick/Wood, b) Reinforced Concrete/Steel, c) Eligible Tree Debris, and d) Other Tree Debris. This distinction is made because of the different types of material handling equipment required to handle the debris.

The model estimates that a total of 840,526 tons of debris will be generated. Of the total amount, 777,226 tons (92%) is Other Tree Debris. Of the remaining 63,300 tons, Brick/Wood comprises 35% of the total, Reinforced Concrete/Steel comprises of 0% of the total, with the remainder being Eligible Tree Debris. If the building debris tonnage is converted to an estimated number of truckloads, it will require 902 truckloads (@25 tons/truck) to remove the building debris generated by the hurricane. The number of Eligible Tree Debris truckloads will depend on how the 40,754 tons of Eligible Tree Debris are collected and processed. The volume of tree debris generally ranges from about 4 cubic yards per ton for chipped or compacted tree debris to about 10 cubic yards per ton for bulkier, uncompacted debris.

Hazus estimates the number of households that are expected to be displaced from their homes due to the hurricane and the number of displaced people that will require accommodations in temporary public shelters. The model estimates 68 households to be displaced due to the hurricane. Of these, 16 people (out of a total population of 67,861) will seek temporary shelter in public shelters.

Hurricane Global Risk Report Page 11 of 15 Economic Loss

The total economic loss estimated for the hurricane is 246.9 million dollars, which represents 5.03 % of the total replacement value of the region’s buildings.

Building -Related Losses

The building related losses are broken into two categories: direct property damage losses and business interruption losses. The direct property damage losses are the estimated costs to repair or replace the damage caused to the building and its contents. The business interruption losses are the losses associated with inability to operate a business because of the damage sustained during the hurricane. Business interruption losses also include the temporary living expenses for those people displaced from their homes because of the hurricane.

The total property damage losses were 247 million dollars. 3% 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 91% of the total loss. Table 5 below provides a summary of the losses associated with the building damage.

Debris Generation

Hazus estimates the amount of debris that will be generated by the flood. The model breaks debris into three general categories: 1) Finishes (dry wall, insulation, etc.), 2) Structural (wood, brick, etc.) and 3) Foundations (concrete slab, concrete block, rebar, etc.). This distinction is made because of the different types of material handling equipment required to handle the debris.

Analysis has not been performed for this Scenario.

Shelter Requirements

Hazus estimates the number of households that are expected to be displaced from their homes due to the flood and the associated potential evacuation. Hazus also estimates those displaced people that will require accommodations in temporary public shelters. The model estimates 411 households will be displaced due to the flood. Displacement includes households evacuated from within or very near to the inundated area. Of these, 587 people (out of a total population of 67,861) will seek temporary shelter in public shelters.

Flood Global Risk Report Page 12 of 16 Economic Loss

The total economic loss estimated for the flood is 51.55 million dollars, which represents 4.01 % of the total replacement value of the scenario buildings.

Building -Related Losses

The building losses are broken into two categories: direct building losses and business interruption losses. The direct building losses are the estimated costs to repair or replace the damage caused to the building and its contents. The business interruption losses are the losses associated with inability to operate a business because of the damage sustained during the flood. Business interruption losses also include the temporary living expenses for those people displaced from their homes because of the flood. 48.50 48.50 48.50 48.50 The total building-related losses were 51.47 million dollars. 0% of the estimated losses were related to the business interruption of the region. The residential occupancies made up 94.08% of the total loss. Table 6 below provides a summary of the losses associated with the building damage.

Flood Global Risk Report Page 2 of 16 General Description of the Region

Hazus is a regional multi-hazard loss estimation model that was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS). The primary purpose of Hazus is to provide a methodology and software application to develop multi-hazard losses at a regional scale. These loss estimates would be used primarily by local, state and regional officials to plan and stimulate efforts to reduce risks from multi-hazards and to prepare for emergency response and recovery.

The flood loss estimates provided in this report were based on a region that included 1 county(ies) from the following state(s):

- Texas

Note: Appendix A contains a complete listing of the counties contained in the region.

The geographical size of the region is 801 square miles and contains 2,514 census blocks. The region contains over 21 thousand households and has a total population of 67,861 people (2010 Census Bureau data). The distribution of population by State and County for the study region is provided in Appendix B.

There are an estimated 20,068 buildings in the region with a total building replacement value (excluding contents) of 4,912 million dollars (2010 dollars). Approximately 93.13% of the buildings (and 84.25% of the building value) are associated with residential housing.

Jury Appreciation Week: A time to honor jurors https://blog.texasbar.com/2018/05/articles/state-bar/jury-appreciation...

Jury Appreciation Week: A time to honor jurors 7,1 \ JURYDUTY A Tbxas Tradition

By Kaci Singer

As Texas celebrates its third annual JuryAppreciation Week starting today, we pause to honor those citizens who give of their time to participate in our judicial system.

Jury Appreciation Week was created by the 84th Legislature and was first celebrated in zo16. To mark the occasion, the State Bar of Texas has produced the Jury Aplrreciation Week Guide to offer ideas on how to celebrate JuryAppreciation Week in your communities. Please note that although Jury Appreciation Week is designated to occur during the first week in May each year, it may be observed anytime.

The State Bar of Texas Jury Service Committee is dedicated to developing and implementing programs to help ensure broad citizen participation and support for jury service. We encourage you to visit our website at texasbar.comfiuryservice for additional resources, including public service announcements, educational pamphlets, and articles of interest.

Many other states will be celebrating jury service during the first week in May, which also coincides with Law Day on May r. You can find additional ideas for celebrating jury service week at americanbar.org. The State Bar of Texas has provided this information to court clerks andjudges across the state and encouraged them to organize Jury Appreciation Week activities.

We hope that by small, consistent acts of appreciation, jurors will better understand the critical role they play in our system ofjustice and truly feel our gratitude.

Kaci Singer is an Austin attorney and the zotT-zot8 chair of the State Bar of Texas Jury Seraice Committee.
