COASTAL STORMS/HURRICANES Description

SECTION I – COASTAL STORMS/HURRICANES

Description: Warm water heats the air, and it rises as it nears the center. The ocean feeds warmth and moisture into the storm, providing energy that causes the warm air in the center to rise faster. It condenses high in the atmosphere, creating thunderstorms. (National Weather Service).

Coastal storms can cause increases in tidal elevations (called storm surge), wind speed and erosion. Coastal storms produce gale force winds and heavy precipitation. The storms can last for several days and can be very large – 1,000-mile-wide storms are not uncommon.

A hurricane is a category of tropical storm of wind speeds greater than 74 or more miles per hour. Hurricanes develop over warm waters and are caused by the atmospheric instability created by the collision of warm air with cooler air. Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral around a calm center called the eye, which can be 20-30 miles wide. When a hurricane nears land, it may bring torrential rains, high winds, storm surges, coastal flooding, inland flooding, and sometimes, tornadoes. A single hurricane can last for more than two weeks over water and can extend outward 400 miles. The hurricane season for the Atlantic coast is June 1 to November 30. On average, five hurricanes strike the United States every year. In a two-year period, an average of three significant (category 3 or higher) hurricanes will strike the United States. Some hurricanes are characterized primarily by water – a rainy or wet hurricane – while others are primarily characterized by wind - a windy or dry hurricane. Wet hurricanes can flood both coastal and inland areas, even as the storm dissipates in wind strength; while windy hurricanes primarily affect coastal areas with their high winds and storm surge. Because hurricanes are large moving storm systems, they can affect entire states or entire coastlines. (FEMA)

Appendix A.1 Hurricane Inventory of Assets

The Committee has utilized FEMA Worksheet, “Inventory Assets” to determine the assets located within the hazard area along with the value of those structures. Additionally the following is a list of the critical facilities in the region. Of those facilities all but the Fire Administration, Fire Station 8, the new GSP building and the Public Safety Building will be impacted by storms up to a Category 3 Hurricane.

Appendix A.1.6

SECTION II – EXTREME HEAT

Description: Extreme heat is defined as temperatures that hover 10 degrees or more above the average high temperature for a particular region and last for an extended period of time. Humid or muggy conditions can exacerbate the effects of high heat and occur when a dome of high atmospheric pressure traps hazy, damp air near the ground.

Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits. Under normal conditions an internal thermostat produces perspiration that evaporates and cools the body. The human body dissipates heat by varying the rate and depth of blood circulation, by losing water through the skin and sweat glands, and as a last resort by panting, when blood is heated above 98.6 °F. Sweating cools the body through evaporation. However, high relative humidity retards evaporation, robbing the body of its ability to cool itself. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat related illnesses and disorders may develop. In extreme heat and high humidity, evaporation is slowed and the body must work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature.

SECTION III – FLOOD

Description: Flooding is commonly defined as the overflowing of water onto land that is normally dry and is dependent upon several different variables. Among those are topography, ground saturation, previous rainfall amounts, soil types, drainage basin size, drainage patterns, and vegetative cover. Most floods occur because the ground is already saturated with moisture and cannot absorb any further runoff.

Glynn County is susceptible to riverine floods, coastal floods, tidal floods and urban floods. Riverine floods are caused by river banks overflowing due to sustained rain; Coastal floods occur when normally dry, low-lying land is flooded by seawater. The extent of coastal flooding is controlled by the topography of the coastal land exposed to flooding. This type of flood is mostly caused by storm surge. Tidal flooding is the temporary inundation of low-lying areas, especially streets, during exceptionally high tide events, such as at full moons and new moons. Urban flooding is caused by intense and/or prolonged rainfall which overwhelms the capacity of the drainage system.

As a coastal county, Glynn County is very flat, and drainage can be a problem, making the area susceptible to Urban flooding. Due to its history of gradual formation by the receding of the Atlantic Ocean, Glynn County's soils are primarily sedimentary, composed of sands and muds. Receding ocean levels have resulted in a series of ridges that represent former shorelines at times of higher ocean levels. Thus, Glynn County is characterized by a series of gentle ridges running largely parallel to the current shoreline. As a result, the coastal plain has a very gradual slope upwards from the Atlantic coast and little topographical variation. Soils in the county are predominantly sandy on the coastal side of the county and predominantly clay on the western side of the county. The clay soils in the county drain poorly.

1. This worksheet works just like Worksheet 3A. To work in the table, double click inside the table. The table will then work like an Excel spreadsheet. When done, click outside of the table.

2. Determine the overall number and value of Repetitive Loss Structures within the community. Repetitive Loss Structures are defined as one of the following:

A. Structures with 4* or more claims of at least $1,000 per occurrence. B. Structures with 2* or more claims in 10 years with the cumulative damages exceeding the value of the property. C. Structures with 3* or more claims with the cumulative damages exceeding the value of the property.

3. Determine the overall number and value of Severe Repetitive Loss Structures within the community. Severe Repetitive Loss Structures are defined as one of the following:

A. Structures with 4* or more claims of at least $5,000 per occurrence. B. Structures with 2* or more claims in 10 years (building only) with the cumulative damages of the building portion of the claims exceeding the market value of the building.

4. The worksheet will automatically calculate the percentage of repetitive losses that are considered severe based on the totals of each category.

*For individual occurrences to be considered separate, they must occur at least 10 days apart. For example, if flood damage occurs March 5, 2009 and again March 10, 2009, the two occurrences will be considered one claim.

SECTION IV – HAILSTORMS

Description: A hailstorm is a product of the updrafts and down drafts that develop inside the cumulonimbus clouds of a thunderstorm, where super cooled water droplets exist. The transformation of droplets to ice requires not only a temperature below 32F, but also a catalyst in the form of tiny particles of solid matter, or freezing nuclei. Continued deposits of super cooled water cause the ice crystals to grow into hailstones. By scientific agreement, an icy conglomeration is called a hailstone when it reaches a diameter of 1/5 inch. In all its forms, hail usually occurs in relatively short episodes rather than as steady precipitation

SECTION V – SEVERE WINTER STORMS

Description: Severe winter storms bring the threat of snow, freezing rain and ice storms. Freezing rain is rain occurring when the surface temperatures are below freezing (32 degrees F/0 degrees C). The moisture falls in liquid form, but freezes upon impact, resulting in a coating of ice glaze on exposed objects. This occurrence is commonly called an “ice storm” when a substantial glaze layer accumulates. A heavy accumulation of ice, especially when accompanied by high winds, devastates trees and transmission lines. Sidewalks, streets, and highways become extremely hazardous to pedestrians and motorists. Over 85 percent of ice storm deaths are traffic related. Severe crop losses have occurred from time to time from unanticipated deep-freezing temperatures and ice. Recent freezing and ice storms have resulted in disaster declarations in Georgia in 1989, 1993, 2010, 2014, and 2015.

SECTION VI – TORNADOS

Description: A tornado is a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, and they are often visible in the form of a condensation funnel originating from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud. Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 110 miles per hour (180 km/h) and are about 250 feet (80m) across and travel a few miles before dissipating. There are two different types of tornadoes: 1) funnel cloud, when the column of the tornado is aloft; and a 2) waterspout, a tornado in contact with a water surface. The classic “funnel” shape may not be present in exceptionally large tornadoes. The tornado may appear to be a large, turbulent cloud near the ground, a large rain shaft, or even a fire.

Except for weak tornadoes and coastal waterspouts, tornadoes usually develop from strong or severe thunderstorms. Most significant tornadoes have their origin within the right rear quadrant of the thunderstorm where a circulation develops at heights between 15,000 and 30,000 feet. Tornado development can also occur along the leading edge of a single thunderstorm or line of thunderstorms. While dangerous, such tornadoes are usually weak and short-lived.

SECTION VII – WILDFIRES

Description: A wildfire can be described as an open fire that spreads unconstrained through the environment. If not quickly controlled, the result can be a firestorm, often termed “conflagrations”, which destroys large amounts of property and threaten lives. For the purposes of this plan, based upon discussions with the Georgia Forestry Commission, a wildfire is described as a fire that burnt more than fifty acres of vegetated land area. The Georgia Forestry Commission determined that the average fire size in Georgia is about 4- 5 acres. Additional data provided by the US Department of the Interior, Geological Survey released in 2017, showed that Glynn County falls within the 16-20% percent chance of experiencing a large fire any given year.

SECTION VIII – SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS

Description: Thunderstorms are small and short-lived, and are therefore difficult to forecast precisely. It is estimated that at any given moment nearly 2,000 thunderstorms are in progress over the earth’s surface. In the United States, there are at least 100,000 thunderstorms annually. Georgia experiences one or more thunderstorms, on the average, on 50 to 80 days per year.

The National Weather Service defines a severe thunderstorm as one that produces winds greater than 57 miles per hour and/or hail ¾ -inch or greater in diameter. Hail is most damaging to crops, but can also damage aircraft, automobiles, roofs and windows.

By definition, all thunderstorms have lightning and are potential killers. Electrical potential in a lightning strike can be as much as 100 million volts. Lightning strikes proceed from cloud to cloud, cloud to ground, or where high structures are involved, from ground to cloud. Lightning strikes in Georgia peak in July, with June and August being the next two months of highest occurrence respectively. Appendix A.VIII Thunderstorms Inventory of Assets

SECTION IX – EARTHQUAKES

Description: Earthquakes are a short but violent movement of the earth’s crust along plate or fault lines. The Charleston, South Carolina area has a fault line northwest of the city. The last major earthquake in this area was on August 31, 1886 and was the most damaging quake to hit the southeastern United States. The earthquake was estimated to have been between 6.6 and 7.3 on the Richter scale. Major damage occurred as far away as Tybee Island, Georgia (over 60 miles away) and structural damage was reported several hundred miles from Charleston.

There is also a concentration of weaker earthquakes located on the Georgia/South Carolina and Georgia/ Tennessee border.

On March 8, 2010, FEMA representative Herbert Longenecker provided the County with information that if there was a magnitude 7.0 on this fault that it would be detected in Glynn County and some damage may occur. The damage would be a result of the liquefaction of soil and the subsequent sinking of buildings. Liquefaction results from the mixing of soil and water when subjected to violent shaking of the earth. The solid ground suddenly turns to mud and cannot support solid structures which may tip over or partially sink below ground level. Earthquake waves cause water pressures to increase in the sediment and the sand grains to lose contact with each other, leading the sediment to lose strength and behave like a liquid. The soil can lose its ability to support structures, flow down even very gentle slopes, and erupt to the ground surface to form sand boils. Many of these phenomena are accompanied by settlement of the ground surface — usually in uneven patterns that damage buildings, roads and subsurface utilities. Particularly vulnerable areas lie along the larger drainageways and rivers. The most vulnerable are areas of marshland that were filled with pumped or dredged material many decades ago to create "made" land. The region has a typically shallow depth to the water table, soil that is not cohesive or consolidated and a great depth to bedrock making liquefaction a potential in a strong earthquake.

SECTION X – TSUNAMIS

Description: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration define a tsunami as a series of ocean waves generated by sudden displacements in the sea floor, landslides, or volcanic activity. In the deep ocean, the tsunami wave may only be a few inches high. The tsunami wave may come gently ashore or may increase in height to become a fast moving wall of turbulent water. If the disturbance is close to the coastline, local tsunamis can demolish coastal communities within minutes. A very large disturbance can cause local devastation and export tsunami destruction thousands of miles away.

Worldwide, tsunamis rank high on the scale of natural disasters. Since 1850 alone, tsunamis have been responsible for the loss of over 420,000 lives and billions of dollars of damage to coastal structures and habitats. Most of these casualties were caused by local tsunamis that occur about once per year somewhere in the world. Predicting when and where the next tsunami will strike is currently impossible. Once the tsunami is generated, forecasting tsunami arrival and impact is possible through modeling and measurement technologies.

Major tsunamis are produced by magnitude 7.0 or larger shallow focus earthquakes associated with the movement of oceanic and continental plates in a subduction zone. Underwater landslides associated with smaller earthquakes are also capable of generating destructive tsunamis. Because the only major subduction zones in the Atlantic Ocean are along the Caribbean Sea, tsunamis have been relatively infrequent. A relatively newly identified threat is from a collapse of the island of La Palma in the Canaries. The island has a major structural weakness following a volcanic eruption in 1949 in which approximately half of the thirteen mile Cumbre Vieja Volcano mountain range moved westwards towards the sea, leaving a large shear plane in the volcanic basalt. In the event of a new eruption, a huge part of the volcano could loosen itself due to differences in the types of rock and water deposits within the now active volcano. According to a computer simulation by Stephen N. Ward and Simon Day, a tsunami would rush across the Atlantic if the slopes were to collapse into the sea. The estimated wave height impacting southeast Georgia could be as high as 26 meters (85 feet approximately ten hours after the collapse. Appendix A.X. Tsunami Inventory of Assets

Implementation Program Short Term Work Program The Short Term Work Program is a five year plan for implementing the most urgent pieces of the Community Agenda. This Short Term Work Program applies to the years 2008-2012. Every project is represented by a line item, and the line item include a project definition, applicable Future Development Areas for the project, estimated implementation timing, responsible party for implementation, an order of-magnitude cost estimate, and proposed funding sources. Some ongoing projects are listed as occurring in every year. Many projects are listed with multiple responsible parties as they necessarily involve coordination and collaboration. Projects are grouped into the following categories: General Planning, Land Use, Natural and Historic Resources, Economic Development, Housing, and Community Facilities. Generally capital improvement projects are not included in the Short Term Work Program (These are usually developed separately for the Capital Improvement Plan), however certain capital improvements are included in the following schedule. Likewise, items from the Short Term Work Program are not usually included as policies, however particularly important policy initiatives may be mentioned in both the Short Term Work Program as well as the list of Implementation Policies above. City of Brunswick Comprehensive Plan Community Issues and Opportunities This section defines the community issues and opportunities. These definitions will help the community better understand the issues that it is facing and further community dialogue about potential solutions.

Roots Protect the City's natural resources, including rivers, marshes, and tree cover, and increase connections to key natural resources such as the waterfront. The City of Brunswick is host to impressive environmental resources, including rivers, marshes, and magnificent live oaks. However, the citizens of Brunswick currently have little access to these resources in terms of public parks, greenways, piers, docks, and viewsheds. The City's task for the future is twofold: First, to take measures to protect fragile natural resources, which can be impacted by development patterns, stormwater runoff, and industrial pollutants; and second, to improve public amenities that provide access to these natural resources. Some ideas that have been suggested include building a riverwalk along the East River or a fishing pier. A greenway along the US 17 marsh front has also been proposed. Whatever the specifics that are involved, the City should continue to endeavor to protect its natural resources and improve accessibility to natural resources for its citizens and visitors. Protecting and enhancing these natural resources will lead to improved quality of life and further economic development as people invest in living and working in the midst of these natural surroundings.

Keep Brunswick's small-town charm and friendly character. Brunswick retains to this day a small-town charm. People know each other and look out for each other, and it's easy to come across a friend or a neighbor in the course of a day's activities. As new people and new development comes to Brunswick, the community would like to retain its smalltown , community-oriented character.

Protect and preserve the City's historic buildings and character. Brunswick's beautiful historic homes and buildings provide a tangible link to the past and create a sense of the identity for Brunswick as a unique place. Historic preservation also has a track record of fostering economic development as people seek the beauty and timeless values of investing in historic buildings. Historic neighborhoods have often seen property values rise faster, and historic Main Streets across the country have seen economic revitalization. Brunswick stakeholders agree that preserving the City's historic buildings is important to its future. Moreover, stakeholders would like new development to integrate with historic patterns, seeking to be compatible in scale and massing, and take design cues from nearby historic structures.

Community Promote a wide variety of affordable housing through a balance of rehabilitation and new construction. Many stakeholders commented on the rising price of housing and the increasing difficulty of finding an affordable home for themselves or their loved ones. Affordable housing is needed for the full range of incomes, from low to moderate to high incomes. The City needs to make sure that residents are aware of the programs and resources that can assist them in purchasing an affordable home. Home ownership needs to be promoted, but rental housing options should also be available for those who are not able or who do not wish to buy a home. A variety of housing types should be available, because not everyone wants or needs a single-family home. Quality, affordable senior housing should be a particular focus for the community.

Maintain a neighborhood focus, place resources and services in or near neighborhoods, and invest in the quality of neighborhoods. Brunswick is a community of traditional neighborhoods; these are the special kind of places where you can walk to a school or a park or a neighborhood corner store. Each neighborhood is different, varying in housing types and neighborhood amenities. Brunswick's strong neighborhoods are potential building blocks for improving quality of life and increasing the sense of community. Neighborhoods are a natural unit for social organization because people know each other and information and resources are naturally shared. Placing social services such as neighborhood-scaled schools, churches, police precincts, or youth programs in neighborhoods increases social capital, improves quality of life, and makes important resources easily accessible to those who need them the most. The City of Brunswick should continue to focus on developing community services in neighborhood locations and building them to the neighborhood scale.

Increase public safety and police presence, and find new, innovative, and participatory methods forpreventing and reducing crime. Crime and public safety are serious issues for the City of Brunswick, issues that the current leadership and police force are seeking to address. Additional police targeted to problem areas is part of the solution, but community involvement in preventing and reducing crime is essential as well. Success breeds success. Problems with public safety can lead to neighborhood decline and disinvestment. Likewise, improved public safety can lead to new investment, which will help to generate further safety improvements. Public safety efforts need to be coordinated with other community development efforts so the entire community can move forward and see progress together.

Increase community involvement and capacity in poor and disenfranchised communities, including immigrant communities. All of Brunswick's citizens should be involved in planning and other civic decision-making processes with the City. However, the responsibility for educating, involving, and informing the public does not rest with the City alone. Citizens must be responsible for becoming informed and taking action to help shape the future of their communities. To achieve the full vision of the Brunswick community, a greater section of the community will need to be informed and involved. The City and community leaders should therefore look to best practices for capacity building and community involvement for disenfranchised communities.

Growth Encourage the creation of greater employment opportunity and entrepreneurship for citizens through workforce development and small business development. There is a growing gap between the available employment opportunities and an underemployed workforce in the City of Brunswick. Brunswick's economy has traditionally been focused upon large industrial employers who provided stable employment with relatively competitive wages. In the new economy, workers must take more initiative in seeking job opportunities, increase their work readiness, and continually engage in learning and training opportunities in order to qualify for quality jobs. In order to make this transition, the full range of workforce development options and opportunities needs to be brought to bear to help the Brunswick workforce prepare for the economy of the future. Both Brunswick's workers and its employers could benefit from improved workforce development. Luckily, many of the institutions to help develop the workforce are already in place, but new strategies and greater coordination may be required.

Address the risks associated with coastal flooding through improved drainage facilities and encouraging emergency preparedness. With much of the City in the official 1 00-year floodplain, improving drainage and promoting emergency preparedness are crucial for protecting public health, safety, and welfare. Improved drainage systems decrease the damage to private property and helps to keep vital evacuation routes clear during flood events. The quality of stormwater must also be a consideration because stormwater can impact nearby wetlands, rivers, and aquatic life. Where possible, natural drainage features should be preserved or restored, or mitigation measures should be used to reduce the speed and volume of stormwater to its final outlets.

Support mobility of all citizens, especially low- income citizens and seniors, by improving public transportation. Many stakeholders suggest that there is a strong need for public transit in the community, particularly for low-income workers and seniors. The City is host to a surprisingly large number of households without a vehicle, and many seniors cannot drive or would prefer not to drive. Transit routes serving major residential concentrations and employment and shopping destinations could be a positive benefit to the City.

Develop a comprehensive network of bicycle and pedestrian pathways throughout the City. Much of the downtown area of Brunswick is amenable to walking, and with a grid of parallel streets and flat topography, Brunswick is very bike friendly as well. The City has an opportunity to develop a comprehensive network of bicycle and pedestrian pathways spanning all of the major destinations in the City. This would improve neighborhood quality of life and increase transportation, health, and recreational options. The City of Brunswick is compact enough that walking and biking are viable means of transportation, and the City should capitalize upon this growing trend to promote these healthful outdoor recreational activities.

The City hired the consulting firm PBS&J in 1994 to create a Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. Regular updates and monitoring and an implementation plan are necessary in order to realize the benefits of the Master Plan. The City's first step should be to conduct an inventory of projects completed to date from the Master Plan.

Establish better coordination and communication between governmental entities. To the citizens of eastern Glynn County, the City of Brunswick, and St. Simon's and Jekyll Islands, Brunswick is not a specific municipality but a community that spans across official boundaries. Many people cross between the City and County boundaries to work, shop, or seek entertainment. The City and County necessarily have different government, different management, and somewhat different priorities. But the citizens of the Brunswick area would like to see greater cooperation and coordination between the City and County. In particular, these citizens object to either the City or County ignoring the priorities of the other and making decisions that are counter to the other's interests. The political differences between the City and the County cannot be resolved by a plan. However, it is worth noting that the citizens of the area view themselves largely as a single community and that common interests are generally aligned. Most stakeholders we spoke to strongly encouraged greater City-County coordination and collaboration.

Image Improve the appearance of all aspects of the City, with special attention to neglected properties and major gateways into the City. The community spoke with a loud voice for a top-to-bottom clean-up of their City. Stakeholders were concerned with dilapidated apartments and homes, vacant lots, accumulated garbage, and unsightly industrial and commercial properties along major corridors. Parts of the City of Brunswick are remarkably beautiful, but too often the most visible parts of the community - its major gateways - are neglected and unattractive. Stakeholders supported an aggressive program of private and public action to upgrade properties and improve the appearance of the community.

Address the City's large inventory of dilapidated and substandard housing. The City of Brunswick currently has many empty lots and dilapidated homes. Although the City has embarked on an aggressive demolition program with assistance to property owners, City residents emphasized that poorly maintained properties are a persistent problem. Greater accountability is needed among both home owners and landlords for maintaining their property in a reasonable manner, so that their neighbors are not negatively impacted. Empty lots and dilapidated homes could be turned from a liability into a resource if these locations and structures are used to develop new, affordable infill housing. New or rehabilitated infill housing would also serve to stabilize neighborhoods, improve the property values of adjacent homes, and decrease the crime and public safety threat of dilapidated structures.

Address existing pollution within the community and promote the clean-up and redevelopment ofbrownfields. A related problem to the dilapidated properties is the high level of industrial pollution and high number of brownfield properties in the City. Industrial pollution can impact the quality of the air and water and potentially be a threat to public health. A clean environment is not the City's responsibility alone; state and federal government agencies also play a major role. But the City must do its part to enforce environmental regulations and collaborate with state and federal partners. Brownfield cleanup and redevelopment should remain a focus for the City. Cleaning up brownfields helps to mitigate environmental risks, and redeveloping brownfields where possible improves the physical character of the City and adds to tax revenues. The City must seek to leverage state and federal resources and advice to continue progress on remediating brownfields.

Invest in the restoration and improvement of facilities in the City's squares and parks. The City of Brunswick has a wonderful heritage of public squares and parks that dot the various neighborhoods. Many of these parks are under-developed in the sense that they do not have the amenities that are often expected in a public park or square, such as walkways, benches, fountains, entrances, or playgrounds. Each of these parks could serve as the heart of a neighborhood, becoming a gathering place for bringing people together. Improving these parks with amenities would encourage social interaction and enhance nearby property values.

Ensure new development is compatible in scale and character with existing neighborhoods. The City of Brunswick invites and promotes new development, particularly new infill development, in both its residential and commercial areas. Infill development in residential areas should be compatible in scale and character with the existing neighborhood fabric. Brunswick's neighborhoods are livable and walkable with regular patterns of building heights, setbacks, façade features, and a connected street grid. Though new architectural styles can be compatible, new development should preserve these urban design characteristics of the existing development patterns. Development in the downtown area should be compatible with the traditional scale and massing of downtown Brunswick, with varied building facades and building heights generally in the midrise range.

Glynn County 2008 Comprehensive Plan

Community Issues and Opportunities Universal Quality Education One of the most persistent themes of Glynn County stakeholders was the need to improve public education in the County. Stakeholders were concerned both about poor graduation rates and poor levels of workforce readiness in the County. County stakeholders also would like to see increased opportunities for workforce training and better integration between educational opportunities and employment options in the County. The County will seek to improve education across the board, with higher test score, higher graduation rates, and improved workforce readiness for the entire population. The Glynn county School system has taken the initiative to improve education and is working on the development of the Golden Isles Career Academy The Georgia Power economic assessment also recommends the formation of a Workforce Commission to study the issue of workforce readiness and propose strategies and solutions for the community to undertake to improve education. One practical and immediate step the County can take on workforce readiness is to provide an inventory and clearinghouse of all the existing workforce training resources in the County and their offerings. Also, the County can promote planning and coordination between the various agencies offering workforce training and the development authority.

Diverse Economic Development Glynn County stakeholders are concerned about the need for diverse employment opportunities to provide a full range of employment options corresponding to various levels of training and skill in the population. While growth of employment in tourist- related industries is welcomed, Glynn County seeks to maintain a diverse economy with varied employment options. Glynn County benefits from a strong and diverse economy with an unusual combination of economic resources. Key economic resources for the County include the Port of Brunswick, FLETC, and the County's natural beauty and coastal amenities. Economic development policy should be based on preserving and capitalizing upon the value of these unmatched resources. In particular, for FLETC, the County should be an active partner in FLETC's facility planning efforts, to ensure that FLETC can continue to thrive in its current location. Likewise, Glynn County should cooperate with the Georgia Ports Authority to promote the effectiveness of the Port of Brunswick and provide adequate infrastructure to support the port and its surrounding industrial land uses. With regard to tourism, the County should strive to protect the unique natural and cultural resources that currently make the Golden Isles a world-class tourist destination. It should be noted that particularly in the area of cultural resources, Glynn County has many interesting resources that are not currently protected and that also lack interpretive facilities to promote tourist activity. Improved Drainage and Flood Prevention Glynn County's low topography and ample water bodies have a drawback - much of Glynn County is prone to flooding. Certain areas of the County have already experienced destructive flooding in recent years. As development moves to increasingly marginal lands, including known floodplains, flooding issues can be expected to worsen unless proactive steps are taken to improve drainage and manage the location of development relative to the floodplain. Note that land disturbance in floodplains, increased impervious surfaces, and loss of wetlands are all demonstrated to exacerbate flooding problems in downstream areas. Flooding constitutes a threat to human life and property and it is in the interest of Glynn County to take actions to prevent the exacerbation of flooding problems and to mitigate the potential destructive impacts of floods. Community stakeholders are concerned with increased flooding on the mainland, and there is broad community support for taking proactive measures to mitigate existing flooding and to prevent future flooding through improved drainage methods. The County should seek both to improved drainage infrastructure and to employ land use planning to discourage intensive floodplain development or disturbance. Glynn County engineers and other stakeholders recommend that the County develop a County-wide master plan for drainage infrastructure. The new stormwater ordinance helps to mitigate stormwater impacts of new development, but it does not comprehensively address stormwater and flooding issues County-wide. It will be more economical for the County to obtain rights-of-way for drainage if they are planned in advance of ongoing development. If the County pursues a County-wide master plan for drainage, a source of funding will be necessary to finance stormwater projects. Many types of financing are possible, including the use of general revenues; however some communities have employed a stormwater utility fee in order to finance stormwater facilities. At the same time, Glynn County should seek to regulate the amount and type of development occurring in floodplain areas. Development in floodplain areas disturbs existing drainage patterns and increases the speed and volume of floodwater downstream. Floodplains are also generally environmentally sensitive in other aspects, such as stream buffers or wetlands. Some development can be accommodated in floodplain areas, but on the whole Glynn County should seek to minimize development within its floodplains.

Unified Wetlands and River Corridors Policy Development of wetland areas and in river corridors in Glynn County is currently governed by Federal and State regulations, but the County does not currently have any County-level regulation of wetlands or river corridors. A major concern among stakeholders was the rapid loss of public access to and public views of wetlands and river areas. Glynn County is unusually rich in both wetlands and river corridors, and scenic views of these resources are among the defining characteristics of the community. As development occurs and as existing marinas change to become private facilities, the general community is losing an opportunity to preserve views and access to these valued public resources. Glynn County needs a long term strategy for protecting these amenities and securing public access to wetlands, rivers, and streams. Part of this strategy is in the Development Suitability map currently under development. This map can be used to steer development away from the most sensitive resources. A County-wide Greenprint Plan could also serve to identify the most valuable environmental resources and plan for recreational access to these resources. Public protection and access to open space would be greatly facilitated by adequate financing. Specific ordinances protecting wetlands and/or river corridors are commonly applied in coastal communities like Glynn County and should be considered. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has created model ordinances and procedures for the protection of these resources and the department can help Glynn craft an ordinance that meets its unique needs and concerns. Buffers around sensitive wetlands and river corridors could also serve to enhance environmental protection as well as preserve opportunities for public access.

Transportation Infrastructure and Transportation Alternatives Traffic congestion is another growing concern for Glynn County. Traffic congestion is exacerbated as the County's population grows and as development becomes more dispersed throughout the County. Glynn County's transportation system is constrained By rivers, marshes, active rail lines, and isolated islands which create "choke points" for transportation flow. For example, St. Simons Island is connected to the mainland by a single causeway, and transportation along the island is limited to a few major roadways With a narrow right of way. Glynn County completed a Long Range Transportation Plan in 2005 which addressed many of the County's future transportation needs and their financial feasibility. However, transportation plans and land use plans interact and are most effective when coordinated together. It is recommended that when possible transportation and land use plans be developed together in an integrated fashion New or expanded roadways can influence the pattern of future development. Land use can be balanced within distinct areas of the County in order to minimize the demand for long range travel. When new residences, shopping opportunities, and employment locations are balanced within an area, the demand for lengthy automobile trips is reduced and transportation capacity is reserved. Since the southern and western areas of Glynn County are fast growing, and since they have limited connections with the older, more developed parts of the County, the County should strive for greater land use balance within these areas. This means encouraging a proportionate amount of commercial, employment, and institutional land uses in areas that are expected to undergo rapid residential development. One way to accomplish this is to make a balance of land uses one of the criteria which are used in evaluating planned unit developments over a certain threshold size. Another way is to plan for future concentrations of commercial and employment growth within these fast growth areas. One particular area of concern for traffic congestion is travel to and along St. Simons Island. As mentioned above, traffic to St. Simons Island is constrained to a single causeway and traffic on the island is limited to a few major corridors with narrow rights of way. An additional causeway has been proposed to connect to the north end of the island, but there are considerable financial and environmental obstacles to creating a new causeway to the island; however, this idea merits further study and analysis. Another factor that exacerbates traffic on the island is the lack of workforce housing on the island. Since most workers on St. Simons Island and Sea Island commute from the mainland, this adds to the traffic on the causeway and on the island. Transportation Demand Management is the name for a series of related tools that are used to reduce congestion in areas that have limited roadway capacity and limited ability to expand capacity Transportation Demand Management involves a host of related strategies, including promoting carpooling, vanpools, park and ride lots, commuter education, and other fees and incentives for managing transportation In high-employment areas, Transportation Demand Management programs are often run by organizations called Transportation Management Associations Since the current character of St. Simons Island would be severely altered by widening its current roadway corridors, it is recommended that the County develop a Transportation Demand Management strategy for traffic to and along St. Simons Island.

Another mechanism to address growing traffic congestion is the addition of regular service transit in Glynn County. Like other forms of transportation planning, transit is most effective when land use policies support it. For transit, supportive land use policies are known as "transit-oriented development. "These policies generally promote increased density along transit corridors, as well as increased commercial activity and services in the vicinity of major transit stops. With Glynn County proposing to add a regular transit service, it is recommended that supportive land use policies also be established on transit corridors to make most efficient use of this service.

Capital Improvement Planning & Finance Glynn County faces both aging infrastructure and the demand for new infrastructure to service new growth and development. In recent years, infrastructure has been financed by SPLOST monies. An annual capital improvement planning process would assist the County in coordinating and managing infrastructure improvement projects."As the County has limited capacity in its water and sewer systems to serve new development, expansions of the system should be planned systematically and support the growth management policies developed in this plan. The extension of public facilities such as water and sewer should happen in a phased and coordinated fashion and should be coordinated with the Brunswick-Glynn County Joint Water and Sewer Commission The Future Development Map and Development Suitability Map for Glynn County should be used to guide the process. Infrastructure should not be extended to areas that are not planned for urbanized development. For those areas which are planned for urbanized development, adequate public facilities and infrastructure should be in place before urbanized development is approved. The new Brunswick-Glynn County Joint Water and Sewer Commission presents an opportunity to share infrastructure for increased efficiency and effectiveness. The City and County must coordinate policies in a variety of areas in order to capitalize on this newly shared infrastructure resource .A Capital Improvement Plan is an annually updated plan that forecasts available revenues, lists prioritized projects, and estimates programmed capital expenditures for each year. The time horizon is typically between five to seven years. Capital Improvement Planning can help the County to set and coordinate amongst its various infrastructure priorities. Capital improvements can be focused on areas where the County wishes to promote development or redevelopment. Another, related policy that Glynn County can consider is a 'repair first" policy for infrastructure. A repair first policy ensures that existing County residents benefit from the taxes they pay to maintain the quality and adequacy of their infrastructure. If current sources of funding for capital projects should prove inadequate, Glynn County may wish to consider other sources of funds. Other sources of infrastructure finance that have been commonly used in fast growing areas and/or redeveloping include impact fees and tax increment financing.

Land Use Guided by Development Suitability The central principle of growth management is to funnel growth to the areas that have the highest level of public facilities and the lowest level of environmental constraints. The County's Development Suitability map will reflect multiple infrastructure and environmental criteria to show the areas which are most suitable for development. Limited infrastructure funds and the need for major repairs to the existing water and sewer systems suggest that infrastructure should be extended to the most suitable land for development first . Land use policy can also follow the development suitability map by permitting higher densities and intensities on the most suitable lands and lower densities and intensities on the least suitable lands. Some lands, such as federal wetlands, may not be suitable for development at all. Glynn County has already started to pursue a differential density policy with regards to provisions for wetlands area development. In these ways, the Development Suitability map provides guidance for the long term growth and development of the County.

Mainland Redevelopment Although Glynn County is seeing substantial new development, it has few policies in place to channel new real estate demand into redevelopment. Redevelopment has many benefits for the County and its residents. Redevelopment and infill minimize the cost of new infrastructure, red uce traffic congestion and preserve environmentally sensitive lands. Redevelopment also has the potential to reinvigorate areas that have suffered from chronic underinvestment such as some parts of the City of Brunswick. Revitalizing existing neighborhoods improves the quality of life of the residents of those neighborhoods, while providing new residential opportunities which are close and convenient to employment, cultural, and shopping options The County should consider a number of policies to promote redevelopment. The County may wish to create a redevelopment plan for particular districts that are in decline or where the time for new redevelopment opportunities is ripe. Glynn County can cooperate with the City of Brunswick on promoting its redevelopment efforts. The County may also consider upzoning properties for denser and/or mixed use development in areas that are appropriate for these types of development.

Affordable Housing The lack of affordable housing is of growing concern for Glynn County stakeholders. The cost of housing cannot be looked at in isolation but should be considered in combination with transportation costs. Most Americans spend more than 40% of their income on housing and transportation costs combined. Often times when workers move to fringe areas to reduce housing costs, they meet rising transportation costs and therefore do not actually save money in net. The other effect of workers moving to fringe areas is that traffic congestion increases, the County faces increased transportation infrastructure costs, and air pollution is increased. Therefore for workforce housing to be truly affordable, it must have a reasonable proximity to employment locations in the County. While public funds are useful in facilitating the construction of affordable housing, federal and state funds for housing subsidies are limited and are not likely to increase in the current planning horizon. Therefore one of the best tools Glynn County has to promote the creation of affordable housing is to reduce the burden of regulation on new housing production. In particular, the County can act where reasonable to permit increased residential density and a greater variety of residential options. Development incentives such as density bonuses and property tax abatements can also be used to encourage the production of additional affordable housing units .Glynn County should make sure there is adequate land to meet the expected demand for all types of multifamily housing, including duplexes, townhomes, apartments, and condominiums. Part of ensuring adequate land supply is to determine the most suitable locations for multifamily housing - generally locations serviced by existing infrastructure and close to existing employment locations. It should be noted that Glynn County is part of a national demographic trend towards more single person households and more two person households without children. Many of these growing household types will desire attached housing, multifamily housing, or small lot single family housing choices, and the County should seek to facilitate the availability of these choices in appropriate locations. In some areas suitable for workforce housing, the County may even wish to consider minimum residential densities to promote the efficient use of land.

Preserve and Enhance Quality of Life One of the most important functions of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and enhance the quality of life for existing residents as the County continues to grow and develop. As mentioned in other parts of this plan, quality of life is a multifaceted concept, but many of the most important aspects of quality of life in Glynn County correspond to the quality of its natural environment, including clean air and water, scenic views, and the many natural amenities of coastal living. Glynn County residents also prize the affordability and convenience of living in Glynn County, including affordable housing choices \(See Affordable Housing issue) New growth and development should occur in such a way that these current values of the Glynn County community are preserved. New development should be compatible with surrounding development in terms of scale and character, and important environmental features should be preserved. Compact development and mixed use development will help to ensure minimal impact to the County 's air by transportation patterns. Encouraging development to connect with the County's sewer system or concentrating development into clusters using shared wastewater facilities will help to protect the quality of the County's water resources. Other environmental protections of the County 's wetlands, river corridors, and groundwater recharge areas should also be considered.

Ensure Public Safety One of the most important functions of County government is to ensure public safety. An essential element of public safety is providing an adequate police and fire protection forces with the necessary equipment and facilities; however this is just the beginning of ensuring public safety. Glynn County must also prepare for emergencies and engage citizens in emergency preparedness, especially with regard to the potential threat of a hurricane or tropical storm which could cause major coastal flooding. The County must also protect citizens from environmental and public health threats by ensuring the quality of its drinking and recreational waters. In terms of transportation, Glynn County must continually strive to improve the safety of its public roadways bikeways, and pedestrian paths and reduce traffic hazards. The challenge of providing for and improving public safety is an ongoing effort that will require the efforts and attention of multiple County departments.

Implementation Program - Policies Universal Quality Education Policy H.1: Glynn County will strive to provide educational opportunities for all youth in the County that lead to increased high school graduation rates and improved employment opportunities. Policy H.2: Glynn County will partner with the Glynn County School system and other public and private sector parties to improve educational and workforce training opportunities.

Unified Wetlands and River Corridors Policy Policy K.1 : The County shall develop a County-wide Greenprint Plan to make the best use of existing and planned green space areas by creating linkages and using greenspace areas for aesthetic, economic, recreational, and environmental functions. Policy K.2: Glynn County will seek to preserve its wetlands and river corridors in their natural state because of their many important environmental and economic functions and their contributions to quality of life. Policy K.3: Glynn County will promote public views and access to its waterways, wetlands, marshes, and river corridors. Policy K.4: The County will investigate developing a Wetlands Protection Ordinance to enhance federal and state protections of wetland resources. Policy K.5: The County will investigate developing a Groundwater Recharge Area protection ordinance in order to protect the groundwater resources which are the source of potable water for Glynn County and the City of Brunswick. This effort would occur in coordination with the Brunswick-Glynn County Joint Water and Sewer Commission. Policy K.6: The County will investigate a Countywide inland water-way maintenance plan. Policy K.7: Glynn County will participate in the development of a Long-Term Water Supply Plan for future use of water resources in the County.

Transportation Infrastructure and Transportation Alternatives Policy L.1 : Glynn County will promote land use patterns with housing developments concentrated close to employment centers and employment located close to residential concentrations in order to reduce the demand for long distance vehicular travel. Policy L.2: The County will promote land use patterns with housing concentrated close to existing or planned public and private sector services in order to reduce the demand for long distance vehicular travel. Policy L.3: Glynn County will seek to limit direct access to major arterials that are used for commuting and regional travel patterns in order to preserve their effective capacity and increase vehicular safety. Policy L.4: Due to limited roadway capacity and the special scenic nature of roadways on St. Simons and Sea Islands, Glynn County shall seek to promote transportation alternatives to and around the islands, including public transit, carpooling, bicycling, walking, and will seek to employ other methods to manage transportation demand without widening existing roadways. Policy L.5: Glynn County will work with the Georgia Ports Authority to ensure that transportation infrastructure supports the growth of the port and related economic activity. Policy L.6: Transit oriented development will be promoted along planned transit corridors and at major transit stops in order to promote the effectiveness of planned transit service.

Capital Improvement Planning & Finance Where appropriate the following policies should be coordinated through the Brunswick- Glynn County Joint Water and Sewer Commission. APPENDIX C Coastal Georgia Comprehensive Plan - March 2008

4 Introduction The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K) requires state, local, and tribal governments to develop and maintain a mitigation plan to be eligible for certain federal disaster assistance and hazard mitigation funding programs. Mitigation seeks to reduce a hazard’s impacts, which may include loss of life, property damage, disruption to local and regional economies, and the expenditure of public and private funds for recovery. Sound mitigation must be based on a sound risk assessment that quantifies the potential losses of a disaster by assessing the vulnerability of buildings, infrastructure, and people. In recognition of the importance of planning in mitigation activities, FEMA Hazus-MH, a powerful disaster risk assessment tool based on geographic information systems (GIS). This tool enables communities of all sizes to predict estimated losses from floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other related phenomena and to measure the impact of various mitigation practices that might help reduce those losses. In 2015, the Georgia Department of Emergency Management partnered with The Polis Center (Polis) at Indiana University Purdue University-Indianapolis (IUPUI) to develop a detailed risk assessment focused on defining hurricane, riverine flood, coastal flood risks and tornado in Glynn County, Georgia. This assessment identifies the characteristics and potential consequences of the disaster, how much of the community could be affected by the disaster, and the impact on community assets. Risk Assessment Process Overview Hazus-MH Version 2.2 SP1 was used to perform the analyses for Glynn County. The Hazus-MH application includes default data for every county in the US. This Hazus-MH data was derived from a variety of national sources and in some cases the data are also several years old. Whenever possible, using local provided data is preferred. Glynn County provided building inventory information from the county’s property tax assessment system. This section describes the changes made to the default Hazus-MH inventory and the modeling parameters used for each scenario. County Inventory Changes The default Hazus-MH site-specific point inventory was updated using data compiled from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA). The default Hazus-MH aggregate inventory (General Building Stock) was also updated prior to running the scenarios. Reported losses reflect the updated data sets.

General Building Stock Updates

General Building Stock (GBS) is an The GBS records for Glynn County were replaced with data inventory category that consists of derived from parcel and property assessment data obtained aggregated data (grouped by census from Glynn County. The county provided property geography — tract or block). Hazus- assessment data was current as of June 2014 and the parcel MH generates a combination of site- data current as of February 2015. Records without specific and aggregated loss estimates improvements were deleted. The parcel boundaries were based on the given analysis and user converted to parcel points located in the centroids of each input. 5 parcel boundary; then, each parcel point was linked to an assessor record based upon matching parcel numbers. The parcel assessor match-rate for Glynn County is 80.4%. The generated building inventory represents the approximate locations (within a parcel) of structures. The building inventory was aggregated by census block. Both the tract and block tables were updated. Table 1 shows the results of the changes to the GBS tables by occupancy class.

*The exposure values represent the total number and replacement cost for all Glynn County Buildings

For Glynn County, the updated GBS was used to calculate hurricane wind losses. The flood losses and tornado losses were calculated from building inventory modeled in Hazus-MH as User-Defined Facility (UDF)1, or site-specific points. Figure 1 shows the distribution of buildings as points based on the county provided data.

1 The UDF inventory category in Hazus-MH allows the user to enter site-specific data in place of GBS data.

Assumptions and Exceptions Hazus-MH loss estimates may be impacted by certain assumptions and process variances made in this risk assessment. • The Glynn County analysis used Hazus-MH Version 2.2 SP1, which was released by FEMA in May 2015. • County provided parcel and property assessment data may not fully reflect all buildings in the county. For example, some counties do not report not-for-profit buildings such as government buildings, schools and churches in their property assessment data. This data was used to update the General Building Stock as well as the User Defined Facilities applied in this risk assessment. • GBS updates from assessor data will skew loss calculations. The following attributes were defaulted or calculated: Foundation Type was set from Occupancy Class First Floor Height was set from Foundation Type Content Cost was calculated from Replacement Cost • It is assumed that the buildings are located at the centroid of the parcel. • The essential facilities extracted from the GMIS were only used in the portion of the analysis designated as essential facility damage. They were not used in the update of the General Building Stock or the User Defined Facility inventory.

The hazard models included in this risk assessment included: • Hurricane assessment, which was comprised of a wind only damage assessment and a storm surge assessment. • Flood assessments based on the 1% annual chance event that includes both coastal and riverine assessments. • Tornado assessment based on GIS modeling.

9 Hurricane Risk Assessment Hazard Definition The National Hurricane Center describes a hurricane as a tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained wind is, at minimum, 74 miles per hour (mph)2. The term hurricane is used for Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclones east of the International Dateline to the Greenwich Meridian. The term typhoon is used for Pacific tropical cyclones north of the Equator west of the International Dateline. Hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean form between June and November with the peak of hurricane season occurring in the middle of September. Figure 2 shows that many hurricanes have impacted the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States.

10 Hurricane intensities are measured using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (Table 3). This scale is a 1 to 5 categorization based on the hurricane's intensity at the indicated time. Table 3: Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale Category Wind Speed (mph) Damage 1 74 - 95 Very dangerous winds will produce some damage 2 96 - 110 Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage 3 111 - 130 Devastating damage will occur 4 131 -155 Catastrophic damage will occur 5 > 155 Catastrophic damage will occur

Hurricanes bring a complex set of impacts. The winds from a hurricane produce a rise in the water level at landfall called storm surge. Storm surges produce coastal flooding effects that can be as damaging as the hurricane’s winds. Hurricanes bring very intense inland riverine flooding. Hurricanes can also produce tornadoes that can add to the wind damages inland. In this risk assessment, only hurricane winds, and coastal storm surge are considered. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Hurricane Center created the HURDAT database, which contains all of the tracks of tropical systems since the mid-1800s. This database was used to document the number of tropical systems that have affected Glynn County by creating a 20-mile buffer around the county to include storms that didn’t make direct landfall in Glynn County but impacted the county. Since 1851 Glynn County has had 51 tropical systems within 20 miles of its county borders (Table 4).

12 Probabilistic Hurricane Scenario Storm surge in this risk assessment is modeled using outputs from the SLOSH (Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) Maximum of Maximums (MOMs) data that is calculated for each hurricane wind category. This analysis modeled a Category 2 hurricane. This data has been revised to flood depths using the flood water elevations and elevation data from the National Elevation Dataset (NED). Each depth grid was put into Hazus-MH and damages and losses were calculated. Although the amount of rainfall from each storm can vary greatly, riverine flooding from hurricanes can have an impact inland. For this risk assessment, the damages and losses from the storm surge provide a flood risk due to hurricane landfalls. The following probabilistic risk assessment is categorized into two sections: 1. Wind damage assessment 2. Flood (storm surge) damage assessment

Wind Damage Assessment Separate analyses were performed to determine wind and hurricane storm surge related flood losses. This section describes the wind-based losses to Glynn County. Wind losses were determined from probabilistic models run for the Category 2 storm which equates to the 1% chance storm event. Figure 3 shows wind speeds for the modeled Tropical Storm.

Figure 3: Wind Speeds by Storm Category Wind-Related Building Damages Buildings in Glynn County are vulnerable to storm events, and the cost to rebuild may have significant consequences to the community. The following table shows a summary of the results of wind-related building damage in Glynn County for the Category 2 (100 Year Event) storm. The loss ratio expresses building losses as a percentage of total building replacement cost in the county. Figure 4 illustrates the building loss ratios of the modeled Category 2 storm. Note that wind damaged buildings are not reported by jurisdiction. This is due to the fact that census tract boundaries – upon which hurricane building losses are based – do not closely coincide with jurisdiction boundaries.

Figure 4: Hurricane Wind GBS Loss Ratios Table 5 shows the Hurricane Wind Building Damage results including the number of buildings damaged, total building damage, and economic loss.

Shelter Requirements Hazus-MH estimates the number of households evacuated from buildings with severe damage from high velocity winds as well as the number of people who will require short-term sheltering. The results are listed in Table 7 and mapped in Figure 5.

Table 7: Displaced Households and People # of People Needing Short-Term Classification # of Displaced Households Shelter Category 2 88 22

Figure 5 shows a distribution of shelter needs within each census tract. The number of dots in each census tract reflects the number of persons who are anticipated to need short term shelter supplied by the government. Dots are randomly distributed within each census tract. While the figure may be used to understand regional patterns of need, it does not specify the exact location of either the persons needing shelter or the recommended locations of shelters within a census tract.

Figure 5: Hurricane Wind Shelter Requirements

Debris Generated from Hurricane Wind Hazus-MH estimates the amount of debris that will be generated by high velocity hurricane winds and quantifies it into three broad categories to determine the material handling equipment needed: • Reinforced Concrete and Steel Debris • Brick and Wood and Other Building Debris • Tree Debris Different material handling equipment is required for each category of debris. The estimates of debris for this scenario are listed in Table 8. The amount of hurricane wind related tree debris that is estimated to require pick up at the public’s expense is listed in the eligible tree debris column.

17 Figure 6 shows the distribution of all wind related debris resulting from a Category 2 hurricane. Each dot represents 20 tons of debris within the census tract in which it is located. The dots are randomly distributed within each census tract and therefore do not represent the specific location of debris sites.

Figure 6: Wind-Related Debris Weight (Tons) Storm Surge Damage Assessment This section describes the storm surge-based losses that Glynn County could sustain in the event of a Category 2 hurricane. The coastal losses were determined for Category 2 water depth grids derived from the National Hurricane Center’s (NHC) Sea Lake and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model Maximum of Maximums (MOMs) data. MOMs represent the worst-case scenario for a given category of storm – as opposed to a specific storm. The coastal surge depth grids were derived by subtracting digital elevation model (DEM) features at 30-meter resolution from a water surface elevation (WSE) raster created from the SLOSH MOMs. Figure 7 illustrates the resulting potential storm surge boundaries for a Category 2 storm event.

Storm Surge Related Building Damages Buildings in Glynn County are vulnerable to storm surge flooding and the cost to rebuild may have significant consequences to the community. Table 9 shows a summary of the results of flood-related building damage in Glynn County for the Category 2 (1% probability) storm.

Shelter Requirements Floods can cause loss of function or habitability of buildings that contain housing units, resulting in approximately predictable numbers of displaced households. These households may need alternative short-term shelter, provided by family, friends, renting apartments or houses, or public shelters provided by relief organizations such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and others. For units where repair takes longer than a few weeks, long-term alternative housing can be accommodated by importing

23 mobile homes, occupancy of vacant units, net emigration from the impacted area, and, eventually, by the repair or reconstruction of new public and private housing. While the number of people seeking short-term public shelter is of great concern to emergency response organizations, the longer-term impacts on the housing stock are of great concern to local governments, such as cities and counties.

Hazus estimates the number of people evacuated from buildings with severe damage from storm surge as well as the number of people who will require short-term sheltering in public shelters. The results are listed in Table 11 and mapped in Figure 10. The points on the map reflect the number of people estimated to require public shelter in a given census tract as opposed to either the location of those people or the locations of shelters that might serve those individuals.

24 Storm Surge Generated Debris Hazus estimates the amount of debris that will be generated by flooding and quantifies it into three general debris categories: 1) finishes (dry wall, insulation, etc.), 2) structural (wood, brick, etc.), and 3) foundations (concrete slab, concrete block, rebar, etc.). Different types of material handling equipment will be required for each category. The results are listed in Table 12 and mapped in Figure 11. Debris definitions applied in Hazus are unique to the Hazus model and so do not necessarily conform to other definitions that may be employed in other models or guidelines.

26 Flood Risk Assessment Hazard Definition Flooding is a significant natural hazard throughout the United States. The type, magnitude, and severity of flooding are functions of the amount and distribution of precipitation over a given area, the rate at which precipitation infiltrates the ground, the geometry and hydrology of the catchment, and flow dynamics and conditions in and along the river channel. Floods can be classified as one of three types: upstream floods, downstream floods, or coastal floods. Upstream floods, also called flash floods, occur in the upper parts of drainage basins and are generally characterized by periods of intense rainfall over a short duration. These floods arise with very little warning and often result in locally intense damage, and sometimes loss of life, due to the high energy of the flowing water. Flood waters can snap trees, topple buildings, and easily move large boulders or other structures. Six inches of rushing water can upend a person; another 18 inches might carry off a car. Generally, upstream floods cause damage over relatively localized areas, but they can be quite severe in the local areas in which they occur. Urban flooding is a type of upstream flood. Urban flooding involves the overflow of storm drain systems and can be the result of inadequate drainage combined with heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt. Upstream or flash floods can occur at any time of the year in Georgia, but they are most common in the spring and summer months. Downstream floods, also called riverine floods, refer to floods on large rivers at locations with large upstream catchments. Downstream floods are typically associated with precipitation events that are of relatively long duration and occur over large areas. Flooding on small tributary streams may be limited, but the contribution of increased runoff may result in a large flood downstream. The lag time between precipitation and time of the flood peak is much longer for downstream floods than for upstream floods, generally providing ample warning for people to move to safe locations and, to some extent, secure some property against damage. Coastal floods occurring on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts may be related to hurricanes or other combined offshore, nearshore, and shoreline processes. The The SFHA is the area where the National effects of these complex interrelationships vary Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) floodplain significantly across coastal settings, leading to management regulations must be enforced challenges in the determination of the base (1- and the area where the mandatory purchase percent-annual-chance) flood for hazard mapping of flood insurance applies.

The Glynn County flood risk from a federally regulated or insured lender assessment analyzed at risk structures in the SFHA. or servicer The following probabilistic risk assessment involves an analysis of a 1% annual chance riverine flood event (100-Year Flood) and a 1% annual chance coastal flood.

Riverine 1% Flood Scenario Riverine losses were determined from the 1% flood boundaries downloaded from the FEMA Flood Map Service Center in October 2015. The flood boundaries were overlaid with the USGS 10 meter DEM using the Hazus-MH Enhanced Quick Look tool to generate riverine depth grids. The riverine flood

27 depth grid was then imported into Hazus-MH to calculate the riverine flood loss estimates. Figure 12 illustrates the riverine inundation boundary associated with the 1% annual chance.

Figure 12: Riverine 1% Flood Inundation

Riverine 1% Flood Building Damages Buildings in Glynn County are vulnerable to flooding from events equivalent to the 1% riverine flood. The economic and social impacts from a flood of this magnitude can be significant. Table 13 provides a summary of the potential flood-related building damage in Glynn County by jurisdiction that might be experienced from the 1% flood. Figure 13 maps the potential loss ratios of total building exposure to losses sustained to buildings from the 1% flood by 2010 census block and Figure 14 illustrates the relationship of building locations to the 1% flood inundation boundary.

32 Riverine 1% Flood Shelter Requirements Hazus-MH estimates that the number of households that are expected to be displaced from their homes due to riverine flooding and the associated potential evacuation. The model estimates 13,618 households might be displaced due to the flood. Displacement includes households evacuated within or very near to the inundated area. Displaced households represent 40,855 individuals, of which 35,679 may require short term publicly provided shelter. The results are mapped in Figure 15.

33 Riverine 1% Flood Debris Hazus-MH estimates the amount of debris that will be generated by the flood. The model breaks debris into three general categories: • Finishes (dry wall, insulation, etc.) • Structural (wood, brick, etc.) • Foundations (concrete slab, concrete block, rebar, etc.) Different types of material handling equipment will be required for each category. Debris definitions applied in Hazus-MH are unique to the Hazus-MH model and so do not necessarily conform to other definitions that may be employed in other models or guidelines. The analysis estimates that an approximate total of 25,732 tons of debris might be generated: 1) Finishes- 21,042 tons; 2) Structural – 2,631 tons; and 3) Foundations- 2,060 tons. The results are mapped in Figure 16.

Coastal 1% Flood Shelter Requirements Hazus estimates that the number of households that are expected to be displaced from their homes due to the coastal flooding and the associated potential evacuation. The model estimates 1,129 households

38 will be displaced due to the flood. Displacement includes households evacuated within or very near to the inundated area. Displaced households represent 3,387 individuals, of which 3,039 will require short- term publicly provided shelter. The results are mapped in Figure 20.

39 Coastal 1% Flood Debris 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.). Different types of material handling equipment will be required for each category. Debris definitions applied in Hazus are unique to the Hazus model and so not necessarily conform to other definitions that may be employed in other models or guidelines. The analysis estimates that an approximate total of 7,716 tons of debris will be generated: 1) Finishes- 3,409 tons; 2) Structures- 2,421 tons; and 3) Foundations- 1,886 tons. The results are mapped in Figure 21.

40 Tornado Risk Assessment Hazard Definition Tornadoes pose a great risk to the state of Georgia and its citizens. Tornadoes can occur at any time during the day or night. They can also happen during any month of the year. The unpredictability of tornadoes makes them one of Georgia’s most dangerous hazards. Their extreme winds are violently destructive when they touch down in the region’s developed and populated areas. Current estimates place the maximum velocity at about 300 miles per hour, but higher and lower values can occur. A wind velocity of 200 miles per hour will result in a wind pressure of 102.4 pounds per square foot of surface area—a load that exceeds the tolerance limits of most buildings. Considering these factors, it is easy to understand why tornadoes can be so devastating for the communities they hit. Tornadoes are defined as violently-rotating columns of air extending from thunderstorms and cyclonic events. Funnel clouds are rotating columns of air not in contact with the ground; however, the violently- rotating column of air can reach the ground very quickly and become a tornado. If the funnel cloud picks up and blows debris, it has reached the ground and is a tornado. Tornadoes are classified according to the Fujita tornado intensity scale. Originally introduced in 1971, the scale was modified in 2006 to better define the damage and estimated wind scale. The Enhanced Fujita Scale ranges from low intensity EF0 with effective wind speeds of 65 to 85 miles per hour, to EF5 tornadoes with effective wind speeds of over 200 miles per hour. The Enhanced Fujita intensity scale is included in Table 17.

Table 17: Enhanced Fujita Tornado Rating Estimated Path Path Fujita Number Description of Destruction Wind Speed Width Length Light damage, some damage to chimneys, branches 6-17 0.3-0.9 EF0 Gale 65-85 mph broken, sign boards damaged, shallow-rooted trees yards miles blown over.

41 Hypothetical Tornado Scenario For this report, an EF3 tornado was modeled to illustrate the potential impacts of tornadoes of this magnitude in the county. The analysis used a hypothetical path based upon an EF3 tornado event running along the predominant direction of historical tornados (southeast to northwest). The tornado path was placed to travel through St. Simons, Brunswick and Dock Junction. The selected widths were modeled after a re-creation of the Fujita-Scale guidelines based on conceptual wind speeds, path widths, and path lengths. There is no guarantee that every tornado will fit exactly into one of these categories. Table 18 depicts tornado path widths and expected damage.

Table 18: Tornado Path Widths and Damage Curves Fujita Scale Path Width (feet) Maximum Expected Damage EF-5 2,400 100% EF-4 1,800 100% EF-3 1,200 80% EF-2 600 50% EF-1 300 10% EF-0 300 0%

Within any given tornado path there are degrees of damage. The most intense damage occurs within the center of the damage path, with decreasing amounts of damage away from the center. After the hypothetical path is digitized on a map, the process is modeled in GIS by adding buffers (damage zones) around the tornado path. Figure 22 describes the zone analysis.

Figure 22: EF Scale Tornado Zones

An EF3 tornado has four damage zones, depicted in Table 19. Major damage is estimated within 150 feet of the tornado path. The outer buffer is 900 feet from the tornado path, within which buildings will not experience any damage. The selected hypothetical tornado path is depicted in Figure 23 and the damage curve buffer zones are shown in Figure 24.

EF3 Tornado Building Damages The analysis estimated that approximately 1,449 buildings could be damaged, with estimated building losses of $81 million. The building losses are an estimate of building replacement costs multiplied by the percentages of damage. The overlay was performed against parcels provided by Glynn County that were joined with Assessor records showing estimated property replacement costs. The Assessor records often do not distinguish parcels by occupancy class if the parcels are not taxable and thus the number of buildings and replacement costs may be underestimated. The results of the analysis are depicted in Table 20.

EF3 Tornado Essential Facility Damage There were six essential facilities located in the tornado path – two schools and four care facilities. Table 21 outlines the specific facilities and the amount of damage under the scenario.

Table 21: Estimated Essential Facilities Damaged

Facility Amount of Damage SEGRMC Hospital Major Damage Goodyear Elementary School Major Damage Outpatient Care Center Major Damage Coastal Academy Major Damage Glynn Immediate Care Clinic Minor Damage Senior Care Center Minor Damage

According to the Georgia Department of Education, Goodyear Elementary School’s enrollment was approximately 609 students as of March 2015. Depending on the time of day, a tornado strike as depicted in this scenario could result in significant injury and loss of life. In addition, arrangements would have to be made for the continued education of the students in another location. The Coastal Academy provides special education and therapeutic services to children with emotional or behavioral disorders. The special needs of the students of the facility would compound any situation involving a tornado strike on the facility. There are eleven care facilities in the county, of which four are located in the tornado path. According to the Georgia Department of Public Health OASIS website, the southeast Georgia Health System – Brunswick Campus (SEGRMC) has 200 beds. The medical requirements of those patients already in the system, combined with injuries suffered during the storm event, could potentially overtax the medical structure of the county. The location of the damaged Essential Facilities is mapped in Figure 25.

46 Exceptions Report

Hazus Version 2.2 SP1 was used to perform the loss estimates for Glynn County, Georgia. Changes made to the default Hazus-MH inventory and the modeling parameters used to setup the hazard scenarios are described within this document. Reported losses reflect the updated data sets. Steps, algorithms and assumptions used during the data update process are documented in the project workflow named PDM_GA_Workflow.doc. Statewide Inventory Changes The default Hazus-MH Essential Facility inventory was updated for the entire state prior to running the hazard scenarios for Glynn County. Statewide facility data were supplied by GEMA through the GMIS in August 2012. These updates were applied by The Polis Center. Table 22 summarizes the difference between the original Hazus-MH default data and the updated data for Glynn County. Table 22: Essential Facility Updates Occupancy Default Updated Default Count Updated Count Classification Replacement Cost Replacement Cost Care $76,538,000 2 $203,181,000 11 EOC $0 0 $880,000 1 Fire N/A 3 $13,512,000 14 Police $9,856,000 8 $21,197,000 7 School $256,681,000 30 $287,224,000 32

County Inventory Changes The GBS records for Glynn County were replaced with data derived from parcel and property assessment data obtained from Glynn County. The county provided property assessment data was current as of June 2014 and the parcel data current as of February 2015.

General Building Stock Updates The parcel boundaries and assessor records were provided to The Polis Center by the University of Georgia, Carl Vinson Institute of Government who obtained them from Glynn County. Records without improvements were deleted. The parcel boundaries were converted to parcel points located in the centroids of each parcel boundary. Each parcel point was linked to an assessor record based upon matching parcel numbers. The generated Building Inventory represents the approximate locations (within a parcel) of building exposure. The Building Inventory was aggregated by Census Block and imported into Hazus-MH using the Hazus-MH Comprehensive Data Management System (CDMS). Both the 2010 Census Tract and Census Block tables were updated.

47 The match between parcel records and assessor records was based upon a common Parcel ID. Typically, for this type of project, unless the hit rate is better than 85%, the records are not used to update the default aggregate inventory in Hazus-MH. The Parcel-Assessor hit rate for Glynn County was 80.4%. Upon further analysis, it was determined that the mismatch between the parcel records and assessor records could be due to several condominiums belonging to one parcel but each having a unique PIN which was not used in the join between the parcel and assessor records and therefore was deemed acceptable. Adjustments were made to records when primary fields did not have a value. In these cases, default values were applied to the fields. Table 23 outlines the adjustments made to Glynn County records.

Table 23: Building Inventory Default Adjustment Rates Type of Adjustment Building Count Percentage Area Unknown 2,978 10% Construction Unknown 2,990 10% Condition Unknown 1,845 6% Foundation Unknown 27,936 95% Year Built Unknown 1,282 4%

Portions of the CAMA values were either missing ( or ‘0’), did not match CAMA domains or were unusable (‘Unknown’, ‘Other’, ‘Pending’). These were replaced with ‘best available’ values. Missing YearBuilt values were populated from average values per Census Block. Missing Condition, Construction and Foundation values were populated with the highest-frequency CAMA values per Occupancy Class. Missing Area values were populated with the average CAMA values per Occupancy Class. The resulting Building Inventory was used to populate the Hazus-MH General Building Stock and User Defined Facility tables. The updated General Building Stock was used to calculate flood and tornado losses. Changes to the building counts and exposure that were modeled in Glynn County are sorted by General Occupancy in Table 1 at the beginning of this report. If replacements cost or building value were not present for a given record in the Assessor data, replacement costs were calculated from the Building Area (sqft) multiplied by the Hazus-MH RS Means ($/sqft) values for each Occupancy Class. Differences between the default and updated data are due to various factors. The Assessor records often do not distinguish parcels by occupancy class when the parcels are not taxable; therefore, the total number of buildings and the building replacement costs for government, religious/non-profit, and education may be underestimated.

User Defined Facilities Local parcel and CAMA data were used to develop points representing the locations of buildings in the county, referred to as User Defined Facilities (UDF) in the Hazus model. Each model requires a unique UDF layer be created, for example in the flood model, this includes only buildings located in the 1% Annual Chance Riverine Flood Area. Table 24 identifies the total building count & exposure for the county and the total building count, and exposure for buildings located in the 1% Annual Chance Riverine Flood Area, 1% Annual Chance Costal Flood Area, and Hurricane Surge zone.

48 Building Inventory was used to create Hazus-MH User Defined Facility (UDF) inventory for flood, coastal and hurricane surge modeling. Hazus-MH flood loss estimates are based upon the UDF point data. Buildings within the flood boundary were imported into Hazus-MH as User Defined Facilities and modeled as points. Table 24: User Defined Facility Exposure Class Hazus-MH Feature Counts Exposure BI Building Exposure 29,451 $5,524,042,798 Riverine UDF Structures Inside 1% Annual Chance 15,444 $3,111,670,607 Riverine Flood Area Coastal UDF Structures Inside 1% Annual Chance 314 $82,548,259 Riverine Flood Area Hurricane Surge UDF Structures Inside Storm Surge Flood 22,017 $4,267,366,467 Area

Assumptions • Flood analysis was performed on Building Inventory. Building Inventory within the flood boundary was imported as User Defined Facilities. The point locations are parcel centroid accuracy. • The analysis is restricted to the county boundary. Events that occur near the county boundary do not contain loss estimates from adjacent counties. • The following attributes were defaulted or calculated: First Floor Height was set from Foundation Type Content Cost was calculated from Building Cost

Glynn County Wildfire Pre-suppression Plan

NFPA 1141 Standard for Fire Protection Infrastructure for Land Development in Suburban and Rural Areas.

Preface

The extreme weather conditions that are conducive to wildfire disasters (usually a combination of extended drought, low relative humidity and high winds) can occur in this area of Georgia as infrequently as every 10-15 years. This is not a regular event, but as the number of homes that have been built in or adjacent to forested or wildland areas increases, it can turn a wildfire under these weather conditions into a major disaster. Wildfires move fast and can quickly overwhelm the resources of even the best equipped fire department. Advance planning can save lives, homes and businesses.

This Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) includes a locally assessed evaluation of the wildland urban interface areas of the county, looking at the critical issues regarding access to these areas, risk to properties from general issues such as building characteristics and “fire wise” practices and response from local fire fighting resources. It further incorporates a locally devised action plan to mitigate these risks and hazards though planning, education and other avenues that may become available to address the increasing threat of wildland fire. The CWPP does not obligate the county financially in any way, but instead lays a foundation for improved emergency response if and when grant funding is available to the county.

The Plan is provided at no cost to the county and can be very important for county applications for hazard mitigation grant funds through the National Fire Plan, FEMA mitigation grants and Homeland Security. Under the Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA) of 2003, communities (counties) that seek grants form the federal government for hazardous fuels reduction work are required to prepare a Community Wildfire Protection Plan.

This plan will:

• Enhance public safety • Raise public awareness of wildfire hazards and risks • Educate homeowners on how to reduce home ignitability • Build and improve collaboration at multiple levels

The public does not have to fall victim to this type of disaster. Homes (and communities) can be designed, built and maintained to withstand a wildfire even in the absence of fire equipment and firefighters on the scene. It takes planning and commitment at the local level before the wildfire disaster occurs and that is what the Community Wildfire Protection Plan is all about. WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN: AN ACTION PLAN FOR WILDFIRE MITIGATION

I. OBJECTIVES

The mission of the following report is to set clear priorities for the implementation of wildfire mitigation in Glynn County. The plan includes prioritized recommendations for the appropriate types and methods of fuel reduction and structure ignitability reduction that will protect this community and its essential infrastructure. It also includes a plan for wildfire suppression. Specifically, the plan includes community-centered actions that will:

• Educate citizens on wildfire, its risks, and ways to protect lives and properties, • Support fire rescue and suppression entities, • Focus on collaborative decision-making and citizen participation, • Develop and implement effective mitigation strategies, and • Develop and implement effective community ordinances and codes.

II. COMMUNITY COLLABORATION

The core team convened on Oct 6th, 2010 to assess risks and develop the Community Wildfire Protection Plan. The group is comprised of representatives from local government, local fire authorities, and the state agency responsible for forest management. Below are the groups included in the task force:

Glynn County Fire Department Jekyll Island Dept of Public Safety Georgia Forestry Commission

It was decided to conduct community assessments on the basis of select high risk communities within the individual fire districts in the county. Personnel from the Glynn County Fire Department assessed the selected areas and reconvened on December 22nd, 2010 for the purpose of completing the following: Risk Assessment Assessed wildfire hazard risks and prioritized mitigation actions. Fuels Reduction Identified strategies for coordinating fuels treatment projects. Structure Ignitability Identified strategies for reducing the ignitability of structures within the Wildland interface. Emergency Management Forged relationships among local government and fire districts and developed/refined a pre-suppression plan. Education and Outreach Developed strategies for increasing citizen awareness and action and to conduct homeowner and community leader workshops.

III. COMMUNITY BACKGROUND AND EXISTING SITUATION

Background Glynn County, on Georgia's southeastern coast, was created on February 5, 1777, as the state's seventh county. It now comprises Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island, and Sea Island, as well as the mainland between the Little Satilla River to the south and the Altamaha River to the north. The county's largest communities are the town of Brunswick, along with Jekyll, St. Simons, and Sea islands. Of these, only Brunswick, the county seat, is incorporated. Glynn County borders Brantley, Camden, McIntosh, and Wayne counties. Before European colonization, Indians of the Lower Creek Nation inhabited the area. In 1741 the Trustees of Georgia envisioned just two counties, Frederica and Savannah, but after the Trustees' charter ended in 1752, the colony was divided in 1758 into eight parishes. Georgia's first constitution of 1777 combined two of these parishes, St. David and St. Patrick, into Glynn County. Jekyll and St. Simons islands were annexed by the county in 1789, but in 1805 some of its inland area was lost when land from Glynn County's western region was added to neighboring Wayne County. The 422-square-mile county was named for John Glynn, an English lawyer and member of Parliament who was friendly to the colonies. Sparsely settled before the American Revolution (1775-83), the area saw most of its few inhabitants flee to Florida and inland Georgia during the war. After the war, however, veterans established homesteads in a number of Glynn communities. Mark Carr, an English planter, lived in the area that became Brunswick. Carr, who arrived in the colony with General James Oglethorpe's regiment in 1738, set up a tobacco plantation, named Plug Point, on which he built a number of tabby houses. He agreed to exchange his plantation land for holding elsewhere when, in 1771, the Royal Colonial Provincial Council chose the area as ideal for their planned city of Brunswick, naming it after the ancestral home of the German House of Hanover (the family of the king of England at the time). Brunswick is now a thriving deep-water seaport, crucial to the economy not only of Glynn County but also of the state and region beyond it. Jekyll Island, now owned by the state of Georgia and managed by the Jekyll Island Authority, passed through the hands of several nations before coming to American hands. After the Creeks ceded it, French and then Spanish claimants gave it a variety of names before Oglethorpe named the island in honor of the English statesman Sir Joseph Jekyll. In the late 1800s the island became the Jekyll Island Club, originally a hunting club that quickly grew into a resort for wealthy northeastern businessmen, including some of the most prominent industrial leaders in America, and their families. The club finally closed during World War II (1941-45), and the island was sold to the state of Georgia in 1947, when it became the Jekyll Island State Park. St. Simons Island was the site of Spanish missions in the seventeenth century. Seventy years later Oglethorpe chose the island for one of his first military settlements, establishing Fort Frederica in 1736 as a buffer against Spanish incursion from Florida. After Spanish invaders were defeated in 1742 at the Battle of Bloody Marsh, Oglethorpe's regiment left the island and the fortress-town went into decline. Although St. Simons saw little action during the American Revolution, timbers for the U.S.S. Constitution (known as "Old Ironsides"), part of the new

P a g e 6 WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN: AN ACTION PLAN FOR WILDFIRE MITIGATION country's first naval fleet in the 1790s, came from the island. Beginning in the 1780s St. Simons planters produced high-quality cotton, but for multiple reasons the cotton era ended there in the 1830s. The island's economic decline was finally reversed in the 1870s when the Georgia Land and Lumber Company chose St. Simons as the center of its operations. Stores, schools, and churches followed, and people from the inland began to vacation there. A thriving tourist industry has allowed the island to prosper economically, even in the face of such crises as the Great Depression of the 1930s. Sea Island is another of Glynn County's island communities. The businessman Howard Coffin purchased the island in the 1920s and built the Cloister, a luxury resort hotel. Owned by the Sea Island Company since 1928, the island has been the retreat of celebrities and leaders from around the world. In 2004 it was the site of the G8 Summit of world leaders. The Georgia Sea Island Singers are perhaps Sea Island's best-known residents. The singers keep the traditions of their ancestors, who were local slaves, alive by performing their songs and stories all over the world. The largest employment sector is the service industry, followed by retail trade and manufacturing. Additionally, the College of Coastal Georgia is located in Brunswick. Elizabeth B.

Existing Situation

Glynn County located in southeast Georgia, widely known as a recreational destination with the Golden Isles and its noted industrial presence, is still is largely forested in the western half of the county. Perhaps with the exception of the large blocks of woodlands along the Altamaha River and the Paulk’s Pasture WMA, there are homes and communities scattered throughout the county. There are also sizable blocks of heavily fueled woodlands remaining on St Simons and Jekyll Islands of The risks and hazards from the wildland urban interface are fairly general and substantial throughout the county even on the edge of the city of Brunswick.

Glynn County is protected by an organized county fire department with eight stations staffed full time with career firefighters. The Georgia Forestry Commission maintains a county protection unit located in the western part of the county on Hwy 32 to respond to wildfires throughout the county. Most areas in the county east of Hwy 99 are serviced by pressurized water systems with hydrants available. Jekyll Island being state owned operates a full time career staffed fire department to respond to fires on the island.

Over the past fifty years, Glynn County has averaged 75 reported wildland fires per year, burning an average of 355 acres per year. Using more recent figures over the past 20 years, this number has decreased to an average of 45 fires per year burning on average 217 acres annually. The occurrence of these fires during this later period shows a slight peak during the months of January though May accounting for 60% of the annual fires and 59% of the average acreage burned. The numbers of fires over the remainder of the year show a decrease during the fall months.

Over the past 20 years, the leading cause of these fires was arson causing 29% of the fires and debris burning causing 24% of the fires. Over the past six years records show that over 70% of the debris fires originated from residential burning.

Georgia Forestry Commission Wildfire Records show that in the past seven years, 39 homes have been lost or damaged by wildfire in Glynn County resulting in estimated losses of $272,563 along with 32 outbuildings valued at $6,021. According to reports during this period 206 homes have been directly or indirectly threatened by these fires. Additionally 41 vehicles valued at $85,050 and seven other pieces of mechanized equipment valued at $170,028 were lost. This is a substantial loss of non timber property attributed to wildfires in Glynn County.

V. COMMUNITY WILDFIRE RISK ASSESSMENT

The Wildland-Urban Interface

There are many definitions of the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), however from a fire management perspective it is commonly defined as an area where structures and other human development meet or intermingles with undeveloped wildland or vegetative fuels. As fire is dependent on a certain set of conditions, the National Wildfire Coordinating Group has defined the wildland-urban interface as a set of conditions that exists in or near areas of wildland fuels, regardless of ownership. This set of conditions includes type of vegetation, building construction, accessibility, lot size, topography and other factors such as weather and humidity. When these conditions are present in certain combinations, they make some communities more vulnerable to wildfire damage than others. This “set of conditions” method is perhaps the best way to define wildland-urban interface areas when planning for wildfire prevention, mitigation, and protection activities.

There are three major categories of wildland-urban interface. Depending on the set of conditions present, any of these areas may be at risk from wildfire. A wildfire risk assessment can determine the level of risk.

1. “Boundary” wildland-urban interface is characterized by areas of development where homes, especially new subdivisions, press against public and private wildlands, such as private or commercial forest land or public forests or parks. This is the classic type of wildland-urban interface, with a clearly defined boundary between the suburban fringe and the rural countryside.

2. “Intermix” wildland-urban interface areas are places where improved property and/or structures are scattered and interspersed in wildland areas. These may be isolated rural homes or an area that is just beginning to go through the transition from rural to urban land use.

3. “Island” wildland-urban interface, also called occluded interface, are areas of wildland within predominately urban or suburban areas. As cities or subdivisions grow, islands of undeveloped land may remain, creating remnant forests. Sometimes these remnants exist as parks, or as land that cannot be developed due to site limitations, such as wetlands. (courtesy Fire Ecology and Wildfire Mitigation in Florida 2004)

Wildland Urban Interface Hazards

Firefighters in the wildland urban interface may encounter hazards other than the fire itself, such as hazardous materials, utility lines and poor access.

Hazardous Materials

• Common chemicals used around the home may be a direct hazard to firefighters from a flammability, explosion potential and/or vapors or off gassing. Such chemicals include paint, varnish and other flammable liquids, fertilizer, pesticides, cleansers, aerosol cans, fireworks, batteries and ammunition. In addition, some common household products such as plastics may give off very toxic fumes when they burn. Stay out of smoke form burning structures and any unknown sources such as trash piles.

Illicit Activities

• Marijuana plantations or drug production labs may be found in the wildland urban interface areas. Extremely hazardous materials such as propane tanks and flammable/toxic chemicals may be encountered.

Propane Tanks

• Both large (household size) and small (gas grill size) liquefied propane gas (LPG) tanks can present hazards to firefighters, including explosion. See the “LPG Tank Hazards” discussion for details

Utility Lines

• Utility Lines may be located above and below ground and may be cut or damaged by tools or equipment. Don’t spray water on utility lines or boxes.

Septic Tanks and Fields

• Below ground structures may not be readily apparent and may not support the weight of engines or other equipment.

New Construction Materials

• Many new construction materials have comparatively low melting points and may “off- gas” extremely hazardous vapors. Plastic decking materials that resemble wood are becoming more common and may begin softening and losing structural strength at 180 degrees F, though they normally do not sustain combustion once direct flame is removed. However if the continue to burn they exhibit the characteristics of flammable liquids.

P a g e 1 1 WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN: AN ACTION PLAN FOR WILDFIRE MITIGATION

Pets and Livestock

• Pets and livestock may be left when residents evacuate and will likely be highly stressed making them more inclined to bite and kick. Firefighters should not put themselves at risk to rescue pets or livestock.

Evacuation Occurring

• Firefighters may be taking structural protect actions while evacuations of residents are occurring. Be very cautious of people driving erratically. Distraught residents may refuse to leave their property and firefighters may need to disengage from fighting fire to contact law enforcement officers for assistance. In most jurisdictions firefighters do not have the authority to force evacuations. Firefighters should not put themselves at risk trying to protect someone who will not evacuate!

Limited Access

• Narrow one-lane roads with no turn around room, inadequate or poorly maintained bridges and culverts are frequently found in wildland urban interface areas. Access should be sized up and an evacuation plan for all emergency personnel should be developed.

The wildland fire risk assessments conducted in 2010 by the Glynn County Fire Department returned a number of communities in the very high to extreme range. The risk assessment instrument used to evaluate wildfire hazards to Glynn County’s WUI was the Hazard and Wildfire Risk Assessment Checklist. The instrument takes into consideration accessibility, vegetation (based on fuel models), roofing assembly, building construction, and availability of fire protection resources, placement of gas and electric utilities, and additional rating factors. The following factors contributed to the wildfire hazard scores for Glynn County: • Unpaved roads and private driveways • Narrow roads without drivable shoulders • Dead end roads lacking turnarounds • Minimal defensible space around structures • LP Tanks close to homes and buildings • Unmarked septic tanks in yards • Lack of pressurized or non-pressurized water systems available in rural areas • Large, adjacent areas of forest or wildlands • Heavy fuel buildup in adjacent wildlands • Undeveloped lots comprising half the total lots in many rural communities. • High occurrence of wildfires in the several locations

Southern Fire Risk Assessment System Maps.

The attached maps were generated from a computerized Geographical Information System (GIS) program developed by the Sanborn Company under contract from the Southern Group of State Foresters to model the various risks to life and property within the southeastern US. The program is known as the Southern Fire Risk Assessment System ( SFRAS). It utilizes multiple layers of data developed cooperatively from the various states and the US Forest Service under the Southern Wildfire Risk Assessment (SWRA)

Wildland Urban Interface maps are developed using data from the SILVIS Lab at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. WUI is composed of both interface and intermix communities. In both interface and intermix communities, housing must meet or exceed a minimum density of one structure per 40 acres. Intermix communities are places where housing and vegetation intermingle. In intermix, wildland vegetation is continuous, more than 50 percent vegetation, in areas with more than one house per 40 acres. Interface communities are areas with housing in the vicinity of continuous vegetation. Interface areas have more than one house per 40 acres, have less than 50 percent vegetation, and are within 1.5 miles of an area (made up of one or more contiguous Census blocks) over 1,325 acres that is more than 75 percent vegetated. The minimum size limit ensures that areas surrounding small urban parks are not classified as interface WUI.

Fire Response Accessibility Index is a relative measure of how long it would take initial attack resources to drive from their station to various areas of the county. This index is derived from assigning average speeds to the various road classes in the county. For the purpose of this analysis the following speeds were assigned: 55 mph for level 1 roads, primarily interstates and four lane open highways, 50 mph for level 2 roads, primarily state and federal highways, 40 mph for level 3 roads, primarily paved two lanes collector roads and 25 mph for level 4 roads, mainly city streets and rural roads, paved and unpaved. For areas away from roads a travel speed of 3 mph is assigned as it is assumed travel will be by foot or extremely slow moving equipment.

Fire Occurrence Areas maps use data from wildfire reports over the period from 1997-2002. The fire occurrence rates mapped are the probability of the number of fires occurring per 1000 acres per year base on this historic information.

Wildland Fire Susceptibility maps show an index value between 0 and 1 and are developed by a mathematical calculation process for determining the probability of an acre burning and the expected final fire size. Many layers of data are used in developing this calculation including historic fire data, wildland fuels and rate of spread, canopy attributes (closure, height and density), weather influences, topography, soils and fire suppression effectiveness.

Level of Concern maps are a complex calculation using the Wildland Fire Susceptibility Index (previously described) and the Fire Effects Index which is calculated using data layers of transportation and infrastructure, urban interface and timber values along with suppression difficulty ratings. This provides an output categorizing the expected levels of concern from low to high.

VII. PRIORITIZED MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Executive Summary As Southeast Georgia continues to see increased growth from other areas seeking less crowded and warmer climes, new development will occur more frequently on forest and wildland areas. Glynn County will have an opportunity to significantly influence the wildland fire safety of new developments. It is important that new development be planned and constructed to provide for public safety in the event of a wildland fire emergency.

Over the past 20 years, much has been learned about how and why homes burn during wildland fire emergencies. Perhaps most importantly, case histories and research have shown that even in the most severe circumstances, wildland fire disasters can be avoided. Homes can be designed, built and maintained to withstand a wildfire even in the absence of fire services on the scene. The national Firewise Communities program is a national awareness initiative to help people understand that they don’t have to be victims in a wildfire emergency. The National Fire Protection Association has produced two standards for reference: NFPA 1144 Standard for Reducing Structure Ignition Hazards from Wildland Fire. 2008 Edition and NFPA 1141 Standard for Fire Protection Infrastructure for Land Development in Suburban and Rural Areas.

When new developments are built in the Wildland/Urban Interface, a number of public safety challenges may be created for the local fire services: (1) the water supply in the immediate areas may be inadequate for fire suppression; (2) if the Development is in an outlying area, there may be a longer response time for emergency services; (3) in a wildfire emergency, the access road(s) may need to simultaneously support evacuation of residents and the arrival of emergency vehicles; and (4) when wildland fire disasters strike, many structures may be involved simultaneously, quickly exceeding the capability of even the best equipped fire departments.

The following recommendations were developed by the Glynn County CWPP Core team as a result of surveying and assessing fuels and structures and by conducting meetings and interviews with county and city officials. A priority order was determined based on which mitigation projects would best reduce the hazard of wildfire in the assessment area.

Proposed Education and Outreach Priorities

1. Conduct “How to Have a Firewise Home” Workshop for Glynn County Residents

Set up and conduct a workshop for homeowners that teach the principles of making homes and properties safe from wildfire. Topics for discussion include defensible space, landscaping, building construction, etc. Workshop will be scheduled for evenings or weekends when most homeowners are available and advertised through local media outlets. Target local schools, community groups and local senior centers. Distribute materials promoting firewise practices and planning through local community and governmental meetings.

2. Conduct “Firewise” Workshop for Community Leaders

Arrange for GFC Firewise program to work with local community leaders and governmental officials on the importance of “Firewise Planning” in developing ordinances and codes as the county as the need arises. Identify “Communities at Risk” within the county for possible firewise community recognition.

3. Spring Clean-up Event

Conduct clean-up event every spring involving the Georgia Forestry Commission, Glynn County Fire Departments and community residents. Set up information table with educational materials and refreshments. Initiate the event with a morning briefing by GFC Firewise coordinator and local fire officials detailing plans for the day and safety precautions. Activities to include the following: • Clean flammable vegetative material from roofs and gutters • Trim shrubs and vines to 30 feet away from structures • Trim overhanging limbs • Clean hazardous or flammable debris from adjacent properties Celebrate the work with a community cookout, with Community officials, GFC and Glynn County Fire Departments discussing and commending the work accomplished.

4. Informational Packets

Develop and distribute informational packets to be distributed by permitting authorities, realtors and insurance agents. Included in the packets are the following: • Be Firewise Around Your Home • Firewise Guide to Landscape and Construction • Firewise Communities USA Bookmarks

POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES: As funding is questionable in these times of tight government budgets and economic uncertainty, unconventional means should be identified whereby the need for funding can be reduced or eliminated. Publications / Brochures – • FIREWISE materials are available for cost of shipping only at www.firewise.org.

• Another source of mitigation information can be found at www.nfpa.org.

• Access to reduced cost or free of charge copy services should be sought whereby publications can be reproduced.

• Free of charge public meeting areas should be identified where communities could gather to be educated regarding prevention and firewise principles.

Mitigation – • Community Protection Grant:

o USFS sponsored prescribed burn program. Communities with at risk properties that lie within 3 miles of the USFS border may apply with the GFC to have their forest land prescribed burned free of charge.

• FEMA Mitigation Policy MRR-2-08-01: through GEMA - Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and Pre Disaster Mitigation (PDM)

o To provide technical and financial assistance to local governments to assist in the implementation of long term cost effective hazard mitigation measures.

o This policy addresses wildfire mitigation for the purpose of reducing the threat to all-risk structures through creating defensible space, structural protection through the application of ignition resistant construction, and limited hazardous fuels reduction to protect life and property.

o With a complete and registered plan (addendum to the State plan) counties can apply for pre- mitigation funding. They will also be eligible for HMGP if the county is declared under a wildfire disaster.

• GFC - Plowing and burning assistance can be provided through the Georgia Forestry Commission as a low cost option for mitigation efforts.

• Individual Homeowners –

• In most cases of structural protection ultimately falls on the responsibility of the community and the homeowner. They will bear the cost; yet they will reap the benefit from properly implemented mitigation efforts.

• GEMA Grant - PDM (See above)

Ultimately it is our goal to help the communities by identifying the communities threatened with a high risk to wildfire and educate those communities on methods to implement on reducing those risks.

P a g e 2 4 WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN: AN ACTION PLAN FOR WILDFIRE MITIGATION

Assessment Strategy To accurately assess progress and effectiveness for the action plan, the Glynn County WUI Fire Council will implement the following: • Annual wildfire risk assessment will be conducted to re-assess wildfire hazards and prioritize needed actions. • Mitigation efforts that are recurring (such as mowing, burning, and clearing of defensible space) will be incorporated into an annual renewal of the original action plan. • Mitigation efforts that could not be funded in the requested year will be incorporated into the annual renewal of the original action plan. • Continuing educational and outreach programs will be conducted and assessed for effectiveness. Workshops will be evaluated based on attendance and post surveys that are distributed by mail 1 month and 6 months following workshop date. • The Glynn County WUI Council will publish an annual report detailing mitigation projects initiated and completed, progress for ongoing actions, funds received, funds spent, and in-kind services utilized. The report will include a “state of the community” section that critically evaluates mitigation progress and identifies areas for improvement. Recommendations will be incorporated into the annual renewal of the action plan. • An annual survey will be distributed to residents soliciting information on individual mitigation efforts on their own property (e.g., defensible space). Responses will be tallied and reviewed at the next Glynn County WUI Council meeting. Needed actions will be discussed and delegated.

This plan should become a working document that is shared by local, state, and federal agencies that will use it to accomplish common goals. An agreed-upon schedule for meeting to review accomplishments, solve problems, and plan for the future should extend beyond the scope of this plan. Without this follow up this plan will have limited value

TO: Glynn County Board of Commissioners

FROM: David Hainley, Director

SUBJECT: Annual Flood Mitigation Report August 28, 2013 - September 1, 2014

DATE: September 2, 2014

BACKGROUND : This is a report on the progress made during the past twelve months on enforcing the provisions of the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance and any new initiatives that were undertaken. This report is required as a part of the annual Community Rating System review which determines the flood insurance rating. This report was prepared based upon the 2010 Flood Mitigation Plan. This annual report is submitted to the Board of Commissioners in electronic format as well as to the local media and made available in downloadable form by the public from the county website. Printed copies of this report were provided to both libraries and will also be made for any member of the public who does not have internet access. The availability and location of the report was made as a part of the “commercials” on the local public access channel before and after planning commission and board of commissioners meetings.

PARTICIPATION IN FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM Currently there are approximately 15,111 Flood Insurance policies issued in the county. This year the County obtained a CRS rating of 7 with a 15% savings.

FLOOD PLAIN INQUIRIES AND ELEVATION CERTIFICATES: During the last year staff provided approximately a thousand responses to inquiries regarding whether a property was located in a flood zone or providing a copy of an existing flood elevation certificate.

BUILDING PERMITS: Additionally one hundred and thirty-eight building permits were issued for new or substantial improvements for structures in a flood zone. All new construction excluding accessory structures were required to submit a Flood Elevation Certificate prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. A building was discovered that was built without a permit and it was required to be removed.

APPEALS: There were no appeals filed during the last year to elevation/construction decisions made by the Building Official regarding flood damage prevention issues.

2010 FLOOD MITIGATION PLAN: FLOOD MITIGATION PROJECT STATUS:

The Flood Mitigation Committee analyzed the proposed flood mitigation projects in the 2002 study and presents the following status report that indicates that all projects except for the Altamaha Park Road project were successfully completed.

The Glynn County Flood Mitigation Plan 2010 was adopted by the Board of Commissioners on September 1, 2011 and was approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency on April 4, 2012. During the time from the adoption of the plan by the board until the approval of the plan by FEMA, staff was providing minor edits and clarifications to the plan. Because there was no approved Flood mitigation Plan in place for all but one month of the reporting period there were no active projects underway. The activities in the plan that will be undertaken in the next twelve months are included at the end of this report. The plan calls for the Flood Mitigation Committee to meet quarterly or after a major flooding event. Staff is working to establish a meeting time for this committee. Staff is also exploring means of obtaining grants to assist in the implementation of the recommended projects. The Flood Mitigation Committee that prepared the plan update proposed the following projects that are recommended in the mitigation plan currently being reviewed by GEMA:

Project A Analyze the nine basins shown on the following map that have all existing drainage structures under US 17. The study will use LIDAR generated drainage basins to analyze the performance of the storm drainage structures during a 100 yr. storm event. The study which is currently underway will determine the extent of flooding caused by existing conditions and recommend outlet structure sizing and analyze resultant improvement of conditions utilizing HAZUS. The outcome is to utilize this data as a basis for grant requests to increase structure sizes as indicated for the best cost benefit basis. A detailed drainage study was completed this year for this basin.

Project B Seek a grant from the EPA for Green Infrastructure as a part of the Clean Water Act to implement drainage demonstration project on St. Simons Island in the Harrington area to deal with inadequate drainage in a developing area. This project will be pre-emptive in nature to address an area that will develop flooding problems if actions are not taken.

Project C Develop a LIDAR drainage basin map showing the repetitive and most recent single loss locations and determine the amount of storm flow required to produce the flooding effects for the indicated locations. Determine the limiting outlet structure. Utilize HAZUS to analyze the most effective option to address flooding i.e. elevation of structures, demolition of structures, creation of retention ponds, elimination of the outlet structure, enlargement of the outlet structure etc. This project will specifically include at least one of the following basins/sub-basins where there is visually observed issues:

• Analyze the basin that contains Community and Old Cypress Mill Roads from Habersham to Altama including Key Circle, Cypress Run, and all other developed areas. • Analyze the College Park basin • Analyze the sub-basin that contains Glynn Haven on St. Simons Island • Analyze the basin that contains all the neighborhoods on St. Simons Island along the east side of Frederica Road between Demere and Sea Island Roads. • Analyze the basin that is bounded by US Highway 341, Golden Isles Parkway Ext., Ga. Highway 99, and Crispen Blvd./Cate Road • Analyze the basin(s) along Old Jesup Rd. from Community Rd. to Crispen Blvd.

UPCOMING YEAR WORK ELEMENTS:

The adopted 2010 Flood Mitigation Plan has specific work elements with a specific party assigned to that task. Some of the tasks are a onetime event and others are ongoing efforts and are so noted. The Flood Mitigation Committee will review progress on these work elements and include an update in next year’s report. Due to the time delay in having the plan receive final approval some of the dates have need to be revised.

ORDINANCE REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A. The “Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance of Glynn County, Georgia” has a stated purpose of promoting the public health, safety and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas of Glynn County. The ordinance is in substantial compliance with the minimum requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program. Areas not addressed by the Ordinance, but required by the NFIP are listed below. Also listed are recommended changes to the ordinance for consideration by Glynn County. These recommendations exceed the minimum requirements of the NFIP and offer a higher level of protection to the community.

1. There are Areas of Special Flood Hazard designated as Zone A on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Glynn County. These zones are approximate zones of flooding where no base flood elevations have been established.

The Ordinance requires developments of 5 acres or 50 lots, whichever is greater; to establish a base flood elevation and that this data shall govern the minimum finished floor elevation. However, structures are being constructed in areas not subject to this rule and are not required by ordinance to elevate to a given elevation. They are required to construct the base floor two (2) feet above the highest adjacent ground.

In such instances, elevation requirements are typically based on a given height above the highest adjacent natural grade, similar to the requirements of AO zones. It is recommended that the Ordinance be revised to provide elevation guidance for individuals building in approximate A zones, where they are not required to establish a base flood elevation and data is not available from other sources

Responsible Entity Funding Source County Engineer & Building Official Existing Budget Planning Duration Objective Status Delayed until new study published 2015 To be scheduled

2. All new and substantial alterations require the structure to meet the minimum of the base flood elevation. No freeboard requirement has been established for new construction in Glynn County Special Flood Hazard Areas. Freeboard (elevation of the structure above the required elevation) requirements provide an additional level of protection. The Flood Insurance Rate Maps are based on current conditions and are supposed to consider built-out conditions. In essence, structures protected only to the Base Flood Elevation continue to be at risk of flooding.

The Community Rating System provides points for communities having a freeboard requirement in their flood damage prevention ordinance. Flood insurance rates are based on coverage and risk. Elevating a structure can decrease the annual flood insurance premium. It is recommended that Glynn County consider establishing a freeboard requirement of at least one (1) foot, with consideration of establishing a two (2) foot freeboard.

3. Recreation vehicles located in Special Flood Hazard Areas are not addressed in the flood damage prevention ordinance. Several recreation vehicle parks are located in zones A, AE, and VE. Glynn County needs to require that recreation vehicles in Special Flood Hazard Areas be on-site fewer than 180 days, be fully licensed and be road ready.

Comprehensive Plan Review and Recommendations Page 25 26 of the Community Agenda, Comprehensive Plan, Update 2008, addresses Improved Drainage and Flood Prevention. “Glynn County’s low topography and ample water bodies have a drawback - much of Glynn County is prone to flooding. Certain areas of the County have already experienced destructive flooding in recent years. As development moves to increasingly marginal lands, including known floodplains, flooding issues can be expected to worsen unless proactive steps are taken to improve drainage and manage the location of development relative to the floodplain. Note that land disturbance in floodplains, increased impervious surfaces, and loss of wetlands are all demonstrated to exacerbate flooding problems in downstream areas. Flooding constitutes a threat to human life and property and it is in the interest of Glynn County to take actions to prevent the exacerbation of flooding problems and to mitigate the potential destructive impacts of floods. Community stakeholders are concerned with increased flooding on the mainland, and there is broad community support for taking proactive measures to mitigate existing flooding and to prevent future flooding through improved drainage methods.

The County should seek both to improved drainage infrastructure and to employ land use planning to discourage intensive floodplain development or disturbance. Glynn County engineers and other stakeholders recommend that the County develop a County-wide master plan for drainage infrastructure. The new stormwater ordinance helps to mitigate stormwater impacts of new development, but it does not comprehensively address stormwater and flooding issues County-wide. It may be more economical for the County to obtain rights-of-way for drainage if they are planned in advance of ongoing development. If the County pursues a County-wide master plan for drainage, a source of funding will be necessary to finance stormwater projects. Many types of financing are possible, including the use of general revenues; however some communities have employed a stormwater utility fee in order to finance stormwater facilities. At the same time, Glynn County should seek to regulate the amount and type of development occurring in floodplain areas. Development in floodplain areas disturbs existing drainage patterns and increases the speed and volume of floodwater downstream. Floodplains are also generally environmentally sensitive in other aspects, such as stream buffers or wetlands. Some development can be accommodated in floodplain areas, but on the whole Glynn County should seek to minimize development within its floodplains.” Responsible Entity Funding Source Community Development, GIS Existing Budget Planning Duration Objective Status Ongoing To be scheduled

Page 30 of the Community Agenda, Comprehensive Plan, Update 2008, addresses recommended policies; “Improved Drainage and Flood Prevention Policy J.1: The County shall design and fund a County-wide Master Stormwater Plan.

Stormwater Management Program Review and Recommendations Glynn County’s stormwater management requirements are in the subdivision regulations and the Water Resource Ordinance that recognizes the impact of increased runoff on downstream properties and drainage ways. The standards apply to developments where:

(a) new development that involves a 1.0 cubic foot per second (cfs), or greater, increase in the peak rate of runoff for the 25-year return frequency storm or one that disturbs 1 acre or more of land;

(b) redevelopment that involves a 1.0 cfs, or greater, increase in the peak rate of runoff for the 25-year return frequency storm or one that involves other land disturbing activity of one acre or more;

(c) any new development or redevelopment, regardless of size, that is defined by the County Engineer to be a hotspot land use.

The developer may elect to retain the pre and post runoff rates or increase the capacity of downstream drainage facilities to adequately handle the increased rate of runoff where adverse impacts are expected. The design storm frequency identified in the ordinance is the 25-year event peak discharge for drainage structures and the 50-year event, 24-hour storm for detention facilities.

These design requirements provide protection for larger less frequent storms; however, damage can also occur during the smaller more frequent events. In the 1999 Flood Mitigation Study it was recommended that Glynn County consider revising the WRPO to include design standards for smaller, more frequent events. In particular, the two (2) year and ten (10) year twenty-four (24) hour storm events should be given consideration. It is also recommended that the effects of the 100-year event be demonstrated in the analysis of detention facilities and drainage structures. The subdivision regulations are under current review and these recommendations will be considered for incorporation into the new standards.

The Brunswick Altamaha Canal has been abandoned as a diversion canal. It does, however, continue to function as an important hydrologic drainage feature. Floodwaters from the Altamaha River are carried through the canal to the Turtle River. It has been noted that under certain conditions, flows within the canal can reverse and floodwaters will flow in the direction of the Altamaha River. The Flood Insurance Rate Maps indicate that there is a special flood hazard area in and around the canal. Flood damages in this area have the potential to be reduced by restoring and maintaining the full carrying and storage capacity of the canal. It is recommended that all required permitting be secured to allow conducting routine maintenance of the canal. Inspections should be conducted on a bi-yearly basis, at a minimum, and after storms exceeding the 25-year event.

Other Mitigation Strategies and Recommendations

1. Provide more publicity to Glynn County’s emergency broadcast system to provide critical data on coastal storms, riverine flooding, localized flooding and other emergencies. This radio broadcast system disseminates important information on approaching storms, evacuation procedures, safe routes of travel, reentry procedures, etc. Responsible Entity Funding Source EMA, PIO Existing Budget Planning Duration Objective Status Onging To be scheduled

3. Create public school program regarding flood hazards: Public school programs have been very successful in teaching fire safety techniques to elementary school children. Flood hazard education can follow this example through lessons targeted at the public school curriculum. Glynn County should work with the school board and teachers to implement flood hazard education into the public school curriculum.
