Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of Waveland Local Hazard Mitigation Plan March 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of hazard mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards. The City of Waveland developed this Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) update to make the City and its residents less vulnerable to future hazard events. This plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 so that Waveland would be eligible for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Grant programs. The City followed a planning process prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a hazard mitigation planning committee (HMPC) comprised of key City representatives, and other regional stakeholders. The HMPC conducted a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to the City, assessed the City’s vulnerability to these hazards, and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The City is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Floods, hurricanes, and sea level rise are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the City. Based on the risk assessment, the HMPC identified goals and objectives for reducing the City’s vulnerability to hazards. The goals and objectives of this multi-hazard mitigation plan are: Goal 1 Minimize risk and vulnerability of the community to hazards and reduce damages and protect lives, properties, and public health and safety in the City of Waveland Prevent and reduce flood damage and related losses Minimize impact to both existing and future development Minimize economic and resource impact Goal 2 Provide protection for critical facilities, infrastructure, and services from hazard impacts. -

More than 19 million acres of forestland cover almost 65 percent of the state, of which almost 80 percent is privately owned . -
Post-Katrina Inventory and Assessment of Public Access Sites: Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson Counties, Mississippi
Post-Katrina Inventory and Assessment of Public Access Sites: Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson Counties, Mississippi Revised & Updated, September 2011 Volume 1, Hancock County This inventory of coastal resources in the three coastal counties of Mississippi was prepared for the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, Coastal Zone Management Program, by Southern Mississippi Planning and Development District. Information contained in the inventory and companion map will form the basis for the development of a Public Access Strategic Management Plan. The project is funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Coastal Resource Management. The statements, findings, conclusions, and recommendations are those of the author/s and do not necessarily reflect the views of DMR, OCRM or NOAA. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview of Public Access Rights Public access rights were founded over a thousand years ago in Rome and ultimately brought to America under a law now known as the Public Trust Doctrine. The Doctrine stipulates that the public has the legal right to full enjoyment and use of certain coastal resources. Originally, the law was applied specifically to navigable waters, their water bottoms and living resources. Through a subsequent legal decision those protected rights were extended to include “swimming, recreation, fishing, and mineral development”. Now, protected access is no longer restricted to navigable waters; additionally, access rights apply whether the waters and shore are publicly or privately owned. Mississippi’s responsibilities to preserve and protect the right to use and enjoy coastal resources are broadly defined in state code and several legislative decisions, including a 1994 Mississippi court case that led to the establishment of what is now commonly known as the Tidelands Trust Fund, which is regularly used to provide funding for public access facilities in coastal Mississippi. -

It Has Been Twenty Year Since Sthere Has Been Any Attrempt To
Introduction It has been over twenty-five years since the publication of Birds and Birding on the Mississippi Coast by Toups and Jackson, 1987. Much of the information it presents is still valid (if you have a copy hang on to it, as it is very unlikely that it will ever be duplicated). But much has changed. Birding Coastal Mississippi, by Toups, Bird and Peterson 2004, did contain a bar graph representation of monthly occurrences that is still basically valid and was the source of some of the information in this current list. But that work is essentially a site guide with very limited species information. The first on-line source was begun by Stacy Peterson in the late 1990’s. It attempted, through a monumental amount of research, to show the arrival and departure dates of every migratory species every year. Much of the data gathered by Stacy, and many of his cogent comments, are, with his permission, incorporated here. The goal of this checklist is to present detailed accounts of the status of the birds of the six coastal counties of Mississippi in a form that can be periodically monitored and updated Hopefully this current version represents a distinct improvement in form and content over the first attempt. If so, it is due in large part to the guidance and comment of Erik Johnson, Gene Knight, Paul Lehman, Van Remsen, Nick Winstead, Mark Woodrey, and most particularly, Paul Buckley CONTENTS [CTRL +click to follow link] FORMAT WATERFOWL Anatidae NEW WORLD QUAIL, TURKEYS Odontophoridae, Phasianidae LOONS, GREBES Gaviidae, Podicipedidae -

Photo sources: Non-Sourced Pictures purchased at istockphoto.com Cover Page Corrin Wendell The Plan for Opportunity The Plan for Opportunity is a collaborative planning project intended to guide the economic growth and development of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and to improve housing, employment and transportation opportunities throughout the region. The three year planning process will be guided by the Constituency for a Sustainable Coast (CSC), a stakeholder working committee including city and county leadership, key community and public partners, and residents of the region. The water subcommittee is charged with examining how the region’s water resources can be used to support increasing economic competitiveness, support existing communities, leverage federal investment and value communities and neighborhoods. To support the work of the water subcommittee, this stakeholder analysis has been undertaken to provide important perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the water resources.
