Shutesbury Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan i December 2014 Shutesbury Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan ii December 2014 1 - INTRODUCTION HAZARD MITIGATION The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) define Hazard Mitigation as any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards such as flooding, storms, high winds, hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes and other disasters, and man-made hazards such as hazardous material spills. Mitigation efforts undertaken by communities will help to minimize damages to buildings and infrastructure, such as water supplies, sewers, and utility transmission lines, as well as natural, cultural and historic resources. Planning efforts, like the one undertaken by the Town of Shutesbury’s Emergency Management Team (EMT) and the Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG), make mitigation a proactive process. Pre-disaster planning emphasizes actions that can be taken before a natural or man-made disaster occurs. Future property damage and loss of life can be reduced or prevented by a mitigation program that addresses the unique geography, demography, economy, and land use of a community within the context of each of the specific potential natural hazards that may threaten a community. Preparing a Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan before a disaster occurs can save the community money and will facilitate post-disaster funding. Costly repairs or replacement of buildings and infrastructure, as well as the high cost of providing emergency services and rescue/recovery operations, can be avoided or significantly lessened if a community implements the mitigation measures detailed in the Plan. Many disaster assistance agencies and programs, including FEMA, require that a community adopt a pre-disaster mitigation plan as a condition for both mitigation funding and for disaster relief funding. For example, the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), the Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMA) and the Community Rating System (CRS), are programs with this requirement. This plan was developed with an open public involvement process. Through this process, the town’s risk and vulnerabilities to its hazards have been identified and, with the adoption of the plan, the Town will be implementing a mitigation strategy and commits to making progress towards reducing its risk for the long term. PLANNING PROCESS This plan represents the first effort by the Town of Shutesbury to plan for the mitigation of multiple hazards, natural and man-made, that pose a risk to Town and to its inhabitants. The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning process for the Town of Shutesbury included the following tasks: Identifying the natural and man-made hazards that may impact the community, and past occurrences of hazards at the local or regional level. Shutesbury Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan 1 December 2014 Conducting a Vulnerability/Risk Assessment to identify the infrastructure (i.e., critical facilities, public buildings, roads, homes, businesses, etc.) at the highest risk for being damaged by the identified natural hazards, particularly flooding. Identifying and assessing the policies, programs, and regulations a community is currently implementing to protect against future disaster damages. Examples of such strategies include: . Preventing or limiting development in natural and man-made hazard areas like floodplains, wetlands, drinking water recharge areas, and conservation land; . Implementing recommendations in planning documents including Stormwater Management Plans, Master Plans, Open Space and Recreation Plans, Emergency/Evacuation Plans that address the impacts of natural and man-made hazards; . Requiring or encouraging the use of specific structural requirements for new buildings such as buried utilities, flood-proofed structures, and lightening grounding systems; Identifying deficiencies in the current strategies and establish goals for updating, revising or adopting new strategies; and Identification of specific projects that will mitigate the risk to public safety and damages to infrastructure from hazards. Adopting and implementing the final Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan. The planning process for the Town of Shutesbury also incorporated the following procedures: Providing an opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting and prior to the approval of the plan. Publicity was done with a press release in the Shutesbury Community Newsletter in [fill in date], as well as through flyers posted in town throughout the planning process. A copy of the draft plan was available to the public at the Town Hall, at the M. N. Spear Memorial Library, and on the Town website at www.shutesbury.org.

  • Massdot Is Committed to Improving the Quality of Stormwater Runoff from Its Highways
    MassDOT is committed to improving the quality of stormwater runoff from its highways. Through the “Impaired Waters Program,” MassDOT addresses stormwater runoff from its roadways draining to impaired water bodies as part of compliance with the NPDES Phase II Small MS4 General Permit. Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to the maximum extent practicable through two methods: retrofit projects and programmed projects. Retrofit projects are tracked within the MassDOT Impaired Waters Program Database, while programmed projects are tracked through this Water Quality Data Form (WQDF). The goal of the WQDF is to raise awareness of the necessity to implement stormwater BMPs during programmed projects and to capture information about stormwater BMPs that are implemented. There are two WQDFs required as part of each programmed project. One is specific to the 25% design stage, and the other is specific to the 75% design stage. Please download the latest version of the WQDF from the MassDOT website. Please fill out the tab titled “75% Design Form,” and check the box at the bottom of the form to ensure that all questions have been answered adequately. Please submit this form in Excel format only and name your file with the convention WQDF25_projectnumber.xlsm. Submit the form to your MassDOT project manager as part of the project's electronic submittal. An interactive web map is available to aid in filling out the WQDF. It is available at http://mass.gov/massdot/map/wqdf. If MassDOT has requested that the form be revised and resubmitted, resubmit the form using the naming convention WQDF75_projectnumber_rev.xlsm.
