  • Section 1 Introduction and Profile
    BENTON COUNTY 2021 MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN SECTION 1 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION AND PROFILE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Generally, the first question asked when communities begin the process of preparing a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is very simply, “What is a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and what is its intended purpose?” First, it is imperative to define precisely what the term mitigation entails. On definition of the term is stated most effectively by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is as follows: “Mitigation is defined as any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property from a hazard event. Mitigation, also known as prevention (when done before a disaster), encourages long-term reduction of hazard vulnerability. The goal of mitigation is to decrease the need for response as opposed to simply increasing the response capability.” (www.fema.gov). The Benton County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan was prepared for the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Benton County in response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). DMA 2000 requires states and local governments to prepare hazard mitigation plans in order to remain eligible to receive federal funds made available in the wake of a Presidential Disaster declaration. It is important to remember that mitigation funds are distinct from response and recovery funds available from state and federal sources intended for immediate disaster relief. To produce a DMA 2000 compliant plan, municipalities must document their hazard mitigation planning process and identify hazards, potential losses, and mitigation needs, goals and strategies. With that definition in mind, a mitigation plan is a document that is intended to accomplish several things.

  • Benton County 2016 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Section 5
    BENTON COUNTY 2016 MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN SECTION 5 SECTION 5 RISK ASSESSMENT ASSESSING VULNERABILITY Overview An overview of the planning area’s vulnerability is a summary of the hazard’s impact on the community and its vulnerable structures. To determine what populations or properties could be lost to a particular hazard event, the hazard locations discussed in the hazard profiles section are classified below. Some hazards do have defined risk areas, i.e. they will only occur in certain places, while other hazards could affect the entire town, or any smaller portion of the town. Hazards with well-defined risk areas with risk of structural damage: Flash Flood, River Flood The majority of these areas have been identified as best as currently possible within the hazard profiles. People living, working, or otherwise being present inside these risk areas, as well as structures inside these risk areas, are most vulnerable to the effects of these hazards. While these hazards may have an extremely detrimental impact on lives and property in their path, the typical occurrences of these hazards will not impact other people or property within the jurisdiction, except when a critical facility is impacted. An example of this would be flooding of the sewer plants, which could be caused by flash flooding, riverine flooding or a dam failure, which would in-turn impact larger areas of town outside of the defined hazard area. Hazards with well-defined risk areas and little to no risk of structural damage: None Hazards with specific areas of elevated risk with risk of structural damage: Wildfire, Transportation Incident, Hazardous Materials Incident Hazards with specific areas of elevated risk are those that are more likely to occur in a certain identified location.
