Maine life is about as predictable and constant as our rough landscape and four seasons. Rocky beaches, standing mountains, rolling hills and wooded landscapes are in abundance in this great state. From coastal retreats to working forests, the people of Maine are as unique and independent as Penobscot County and its communities. With varying governments, local services, focuses and futures the people of Penobscot County and its differing regions can experience the hustle and bustle of city life by day and soak in the scenes of the country-side by afternoon. Covering over 3,300 square miles, the 153,923 people of Penobscot County can live very different lifestyles in a matter of miles, from multi-story condominiums to farms and woodlots in the County’s portion of the Unorganized Territory. It is where communities can be separated by vast forests and lakes or merely a sign post. Understanding what life is like in a region six hours north of Boston is very difficult without spending time there. The variations from town to town and the local sense of pride within each, leads residents to a sense of ownership in the area, community and a deep connection to the people within it. These varying differences make mitigation planning very difficult. Combining services, protecting resources and mobilizing people takes some creative ingenuity. Collaborative planning between largely forested, sparsely populated areas and densely populated urbanized areas takes an effort of philosophical change in ones self and community. This developmental change is difficult to comprehend in individual communities because of the varying issues from town to town. PURPOSE The purpose of mitigation planning is for state, local, and Indian tribal 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 purpose of this plan is to fulfill the requirements of the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, which mandated that all localities that seek to continue receiving Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant funding participate in a FEMA approved hazard mitigation plan. Pursuant to §201.6 of the Interim Final Rule prepared by FEMA, Penobscot County Emergency Management Agency (the County) decided to update their multi-jurisdictional plan to encompass the concerns of the County and its participating municipalities. The Penobscot County Hazard Mitigation Plan will identify natural hazards, assess the jurisdictions vulnerability to each hazard, and establish community goals and objectives for reducing their effect and select mitigation activities that are appropriate for Penobscot County and its participating municipalities. The goal of these activities is to stimulate awareness that will best address Penobscot County’s natural hazard vulnerabilities and to meet the needs of the municipalities in addressing future mitigation and emergency management. Penobscot County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan – 2016 Update 1 Introduction SCOPE The scope of this plan is to identify and address natural hazards and the towns’ and county’s, vulnerability to them. Although the rule criteria for local plans recommend that communities include man-made and technological hazards along with natural hazards, the Hazard Mitigation Committee decided to review only natural hazards at this time. This plan will produce a program of activities that will best undertake the County’s natural hazards and meet the needs of its communities. Consistent with FEMA planning process guidelines, this plan will accomplish the following objectives: • Ensure that activities are reviewed and implemented so that disaster related hazards are addressed by the most appropriate and efficient solution; • Link hazard management policies to specific activities; • Educate residents about potential hazards that threaten the County and their communities; • Build public and political support for projects that prevent new problems from known hazards and reduce future losses; • Fulfill planning requirements for future hazard mitigation project grants; and • Facilitate implementation of hazard mitigation management activities through an action plan. DISASTER MITIGATION ACT OF 2000 On October 30, 2000, the President of the United States signed into law the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) to amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988. This new legislation reinforces the importance of Hazard Mitigation planning to reduce the Nation’s disaster losses, and is aimed primarily to control and streamline the administration of federal disaster relief and mitigation programs. The Act encourages and rewards local and state pre-disaster planning, promotes stability as a strategy for disaster resistance, and is intended to integrate state and local planning with the aim of strengthening statewide mitigation planning. FEMA approved plans make communities eligible for Flood Mitigation Assistance Grants (FMA), the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM), nationally competitive Grants. Section 322 (a-d) of DMA 2000, requires that local governments, as a condition of receiving federal disaster mitigation grant funds, have a mitigation plan that describes the process for identifying hazards, risks and vulnerabilities, identify and prioritize mitigation actions, encourage the development of local mitigation and provide technical support. NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE REFORM ACT OF 1994 This plan fulfills the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (NFIRA). With this Act, Congress authorized the establishment of a Federal grant program to provide financial assistance to states and communities for flood mitigation Penobscot County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan – 2016 Update 2 Introduction planning and activities. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has designated this Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA). Under the FMA, FEMA provides assistance to states and communities for activities that will reduce the risk of flood damages to structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). FMA is a state-administered, cost-share program through which states and communities can receive grants for a flood mitigation plan, technical assistance, and flood mitigation projects. CONSULTANT In 2005 Penobscot County contracted with Eastern Maine Development Corporation (EMDC) to assist in preparing the Penobscot County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. For the 2011 update and again in 2015, Lorna Thompson Consulting, LLC assisted Penobscot County with the necessary steps to review the Hazard Mitigation process and LatLong Logic, LLC provided mapping expertise. Working directly with the municipalities and the committee representatives, data was collected and analyzed for hazard identification and vulnerability. Penobscot Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) with assistance from Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) created a document consistent with Federal Emergency Management Agency guidelines for Hazard Mitigation and Federal Mandate §201.6.
