HAZUS-MH 2.2 provides a general indication of the maximum restoration time for 100 percent operations. Clearly, a great deal of effort is needed to quickly restore essential facilities to full functionality; therefore this will be an indication of the maximum downtime (HAZUS-MH 2.2 User Manual). b. In some cases, a facility may be in the digital flood insurance rate map (DFIRM) flood hazard boundary; however HAZUS did not calculate potential loss.

    Section 4: County Profile

    Section 4: County Profile Section 4. County Profile Profile information is presented and analyzed to develop an understanding of a study area, including the economic, structural, and population assets at risk and the particular concerns that may be related to hazards analyzed later in this plan (e.g., areas prone to flooding or a high percentage of vulnerable persons in a particular area). This section describes the general profile of Allegany County (government, physical setting, population and demographics, general building stock, land use, and population trends) and critical facilities located within the county. 4.1 History The lands now defined by Allegany County were inhabited by numerous indigenous people before the arrival of European settlers. The Seneca Indians, known as the “Keepers of the Western Door” for the Iroquois Confederacy, were the most recent native inhabitants and had cultivated land in the area for generations. The first European settler was Nathaniel Dyke, a Revolutionary War veteran who arrived in 1795. Soon thereafter, Philip Church acquired 100,000 acres in the southern portion of the Morris Reserve and became Allegany County’s first major landowner. With his new land purchase, Church laid out a plan for what would be the first town in Allegany County, named Angelica after his mother. Allegany County was formed by the New York State Legislature on April 7, 1806. Angelica was situated along Turnpike Road, which was a key route for bringing many early settlers to the county and also connected to the town of Bath to the east. Attracted by forests rich in hardwoods, hemlock, and other valuable varieties of trees, along with rivers providing abundant fish and transportation opportunities, these and other pioneers came to Angelica and started their lives as farmers or workers in the timber trade, either as lumbermen or owners and operators of numerous small mill businesses.
  • Cuba Comprehensive Plan Public Comment”

    Cuba Comprehensive Plan Public Comment”

    Office of Planning Crossroads Center 6087 NYS Route 19N Belmont, NY 14813 Ph: 585-268-7472 Fax: 585-268-7473 PRESS RELEASE: DECEMBER 21, 2020 Cuba Community Requesting Public Comment on the Comprehensive Plan The Town and Village of Cuba are always up to something good for the benefit of their community residents, and this year is no different. Working with the Allegany County Office of Planning, at the beginning of 2020 Cuba created a Comprehensive Plan Committee to develop a Plan that will be used to benefit the residents of the community. As a result of that effort, the draft plan is currently being offered for public review and comment. The draft is available online by visiting the following link: https://www.alleganyco.com/departments/planning/reports/. Still in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, limited hard copies of the report are available for public viewing at 15 Water Street and at 17 East Main Street of Cuba. If you are interested in receiving a copy of the draft, please request it following the comment procedure outlined below. Important things to note regarding the plan are as follows – this is a working draft, minor edits are expected moving forward, as well as some formatting and other finishing work. Appendices will be added to the online link, as they are finished. Those items are not expected to change in any way; however, they might change in their listed order and are currently referenced as “Appendix X” for every item. While the Village of Cuba has worked with consultants in the past to produce economic development plans, the Town of Cuba was not previously involved.
  • Iii. 2-Hazard Analysis by Region

    Iii. 2-Hazard Analysis by Region

    Section III. Risk Assessment - Continued Hazard Profile Countywide Allegany County is a diverse county having many unique features that are specific to certain areas of the County. It was determined early in the Hazard Analysis process, to split the county into regions based on these unique features. The county was roughly split into north, south, east and western quadrants. These quadrants were maintained for the 2010, 5-Year Update. The Western Region has a unique combination of Caneadea soils lying upon a clay foundation according to the Allegany County Soil Survey. When saturated, the clay foundation does not allow the water to infiltrate and with enough precipitation, the soils on top of the clay foundation become loose and can create landslides of various magnitudes. The largest percentages of landslides occur in the Towns of Caneadea, Hume, Belfast, and New Hudson. Further, the Western Region is unique in having two large dams and one hydroelectric dam: Rushford Lake, Cuba Lake, and Wiscoy Hydro Station 170, respectively. Rushford Lake is a man-made lake in the Towns of Rushford and Caneadea. The lake is “V” shaped, four and a half miles long with about ten miles of shoreline. It is nearly a mile wide at the center and about 125 feet deep at its middle point. Rushford Lake, a reservoir about 550 acres in surface area when full, was created by the damming of Caneadea Creek in 1928. It produced power for the Rochester Gas and Electric Company until recently. Caneadea Dam is the first arch dam with continuous pour located in the east.
