Harvey County and participating jurisdictions developed this multi-hazard mitigation plan to reduce future losses to the County and its communities resulting from natural hazards. The plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and to achieve eligibility for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Mitigation Assistance, Pre-Disaster Mitigation, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs. The County’s planning process followed a methodology prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) comprised of key stakeholders from Harvey County, participating jurisdictions, and state and federal agencies. The HMPC conducted a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to Harvey County, assessed the County’s vulnerability to these hazards, and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The County is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Tornadoes, floods, winter storm, and drought are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the County. Based upon the risk assessment, the HMPC identified goals and objectives for reducing risk from hazards. The goals and objectives of this multi-hazard mitigation plan are to: Goal #1: Increase capabilities and develop strategies to assure that vulnerable populations, buildings, and critical facilities within Harvey County are protected from hazards and reduce the damaging effects of those hazards. 1. Reduce property losses due to flood, wildfire, winter storms, and other hazards. 2. Increase the level of protection for critical facilities, infrastructure, and utility systems. 3. Assure that vulnerable populations such as the elderly, homeless, low income or those with Limited English Proficiency are included in mitigation and response planning. Goal #2: Improve the level of responder, government, business, and citizen awareness and preparedness for disaster. 1. Strengthen outreach and partnerships with the private sector, non-profit organizations and the public. 2. Improve public understanding of hazards and risk by providing public awareness, preparedness, and mitigation information through various channels of communication. 3. Educate property and business owners on affordable mitigation and preparedness measures that can be taken to reduce property loss. Harvey County, Kansas FINAL Page iii Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan July, 2009 Goal #3: Promote a policy framework that assures effective hazard mitigation programs are implemented and promoted. 1. Assure continued participation in the National Flood Insurance Program, including the Community Rating System (CRS) Program. 2. Promote the adoption of ordinances that reduce damages from natural hazards. To meet identified goals and objectives, the plan recommends the mitigation actions summarized in the table on the following page. The HMPC also developed an implementation plan for each action, which identifies priority level, background information, and ideas for implementation, responsible agency, timeline, cost estimate, potential funding sources, and more. These additional details are provided in Chapter 4. The multi-hazard mitigation plan has been formally adopted by the Harvey County Commissioners and the governing bodies of each participating jurisdiction and will be updated within a five-year timeframe. Harvey County, Kansas FINAL Page iv Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan July, 2009 PPREREQUISITES 44 CFR requirement 201.6(c)(5): The local hazard mitigation plan shall include documentation that the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan. For multi-jurisdictional plans, each jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan must document that it has been formally adopted. Note to Reviewers: When this plan has been reviewed and approved pending adoption by FEMA Region VII the adoption resolutions will be signed by the participating jurisdictions and added to Appendix C. The Harvey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is a multi-jurisdictional plan that geographically covers everything within Harvey County’s jurisdictional boundaries (hereinafter referred to as the planning area). The following 29 jurisdictions participated in the planning process: Harvey County Lake Township City of Burrton Lakin Township City of Halstead Macon Township City of Hesston Newton Township City of Newton Pleasant Township City of North Newton Richland Township City of Sedgwick Sedgwick Township City of Walton Walton Township USD 373 Newton Fire District #1 (Walton) USD 439 Sedgwick Fire District #5 (Burrton) USD 440 Halstead Drainage District #2 USD 460 Hesston Drainage District #3 Alta Township Little Arkansas River Drainage #2 Darlington Township Emma Township Garden Township Harvey County, Kansas FINAL Page v Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan July, 2009 In addition to the local governments, several private non-profit entities participated in this effort providing support and contributing to the mitigation strategy: Butler Rural Electric Cooperative Harvey County Public Health Harvey County Extension Office Harvey County Parks Department Harvey County, Kansas FINAL Page vi Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan July, 2009 Table of Contents Executive Summary....................................................................................................................iii Prerequisites ............................................................................................................................... v CHAPTER 1 Introduction and Planning Process .................................................................1.1 1.1 Purpose .......................................................................................................................1.1 1.2 Background and Scope ...............................................................................................1.1 1.3 Plan Organization ........................................................................................................1.3 1.4 Planning Process.........................................................................................................1.3 1.4.1 Multi-Jurisdictional Participation ................................................................................1.4 1.4.2 The 12-Step Planning Process ..................................................................................1.6 CHAPTER 2 Planning Area Profile and Capabilities..........................................................2.15 2.1.1 Geography and Topography....................................................................................2.15 2.1.2 Climate.....................................................................................................................2.16 2.1.3 Population/Demographics........................................................................................2.17 2.1.4 History......................................................................................................................2.18 2.1.5 Economy/Industry ....................................................................................................2.19 2.1.6 Agriculture................................................................................................................2.22 2.2 Jurisdictional Descriptions and Capabilities ..............................................................2.24 2.2.1 Burrton .....................................................................................................................2.24

    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.
