Department of Public Safety Emergency Management Division Interoffice Memorandum DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIVISION INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Board of County Commissioners VIA: Terry Shannon, County Administrator 11-5 VIA: Jacqueline K. Vaughan, Director.-11 FROM: Alfred B. Jeffery, Division Chief DATE: July 10, 2018 SUBJECT: 2017 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Adoption Background: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires that all jurisdictions develop and maintain a current Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) in order to be eligible for hazard mitigation projects and reimbursements from presidentially declared disasters. This plan identifies hazards and the potential risks the County has for each. It also identifies repetitive problem areas and recommends mitigation projects to alleviate future damage. Discussion: The HMP Update process was comprised of the following four main phases: Phase 1 — Organize Steering Committee and Process; Phase 2 — Assess Hazards, Risks, Vulnerability, and Mitigation Capability; Phase 3 — Develop a Mitigation Plan; and Phase 4 — Implement the Plan. Each phase was performed to obtain maximum participation from steering committee members, municipalities, and residents. Once the first three phases were completed, the contractor, Visions LLC, produced a DRAFT plan for the steering committee's review and approval. Once that was approved the plan was submitted to both the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and FEMA for review and approval. FEMA approved pending adoption on December 18, 2017, and forwarded that approval in January 2018. In order to gain final approval and implement the updated plan the County, as well as the Municipalities of North Beach and Chesapeake Beach, must adopt the plan through resolution. The North Beach Mayor and Town Council adopted by resolution on July 12, 2018, and Chesapeake Beach Mayor and Town Council adopted by resolution on July 19, 2018. Fiscal Impact: The County received a Hazard Mitigation Plan Grant for contractor expenses and the local match was budgeted in the Emergency Management budget. Conclusion/Recommendation: The Updated HMP is presented to the Board of County Commissioners for approval, along with the attached Resolution. Staff recommends the Board approve and sign the Resolution. Once recorded, we will forward to MEMA,. FEMA for final approval and implementation.

  • The Weakest Link: the Consistent Refusal to Consider Far-Removed Indirect Effects of the Expansion of Lng Terminals
    RHODES FINAL 11/16/17 THE WEAKEST LINK: THE CONSISTENT REFUSAL TO CONSIDER FAR-REMOVED INDIRECT EFFECTS OF THE EXPANSION OF LNG TERMINALS Synopsis: The D.C. Circuit has recently ruled on numerous cases challenging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) approval of the expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals to allow both export and import activity. Much of its analysis has focused on the delegation of authority between the De- partment of Energy (DOE) and FERC under the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Envi- ronmental groups raised challenges to the Environmental Assessment (EA) com- pleted by FERC in each case, arguing that FERC failed to adequately consider direct and indirect effects of the expansion. The indirect effects would arise via a chain of events ultimately depending on the increased production and consump- tion of LNG. In each case, the Court has pointed out that FERC only has authority to regulate the expansion of the facilities themselves. Without approval by the DOE to allow the additional import or export at the individual terminal at issue, FERC’s approval can cause no indirect effects. Moreover, the Court has reiterated multiple times that since FERC’s approval does not cause these indirect effects, but the DOE’s approval does, these suits should have been brought against the DOE. In this note, I discuss one of these cases, EarthReports v. FERC, at length, as well as incorporate portions of other similar cases to come to an understanding regarding what steps potential challengers to similar approvals should take. If challengers hope to convince a court, particularly the D.C.
