Glossary of Natural Hazard and Mitigation Terms iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Tallahassee-Leon County Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) is a plan intended to identify and reduce the community’s long-term vulnerability to natural and technological hazards through various forms of mitigation.1 The Plan is organized into four chapters: • Chapter 1 describes the role of the LMS Steering Committee and the Working Group in developing the overall mitigation strategy and its component initiatives. • Chapter 2 is the Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment. This section provides an overview of the types of natural and technological hazards the County is vulnerable to, and a history of these hazards and their effects. Natural hazards identified and assessed by the working group include hurricanes and tropical storms, thunderstorms, tornados, lightning, drought, floods, wildfires, sinkholes, storm surge/tsunami, dam failure, exotic pest infestations, and diseases and pandemics. Technological hazards include hazardous materials storage and transportation, terrorism, aviation incidents, and energy failures/disruptions. • Chapter 3 describes ongoing and proposed mitigation programs, policies, and projects identified by the Committee and the Working Group. These include program and policy initiatives such as ordinances or updates to existing codes and plans, and capital improvements such as infrastructure upgrades or replacements. Each mitigation initiative identified in this Chapter includes potential funding sources where available. • Chapter 4 describes the process to monitor, evaluate, and update the plan over the next five years. This section also describes procedures intended to keep the public actively involved in local hazard mitigation planning, and how the LMS will be consistent and incorporated into other local planning mechanisms where appropriate. Within the LMS, the Steering Committee has developed a series of mitigation initiatives intended to protect the public by addressing those natural and other hazards that may affect various areas and constituencies of Leon County. This plan may also change as current projects are completed, new needs and problems are identified, and local priorities change with development, population shifts and increases. The Steering Committee meets annually to review and update this strategy. These procedures are detailed in Chapter 4, while the LMS Steering Committee bylaws are included in Appendix B. The Florida Division of Emergency Management requires local mitigation strategy plans be adopted by resolution by local government(s). To fulfill this requirement, the Tallahassee-Leon County Local Mitigation Strategy 2020 Update has been adopted by resolution by both the Leon County Board of Commissioners and the Tallahassee City Commission. Adoption of the LMS allows Leon County and the City of Tallahassee to apply for hazard mitigation and disaster recovery funds from state and federal sources, as well as provide a plan for applying these funds. 1 Hazard mitigation is any program, initiative, or action taken to permanently reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and their property from the effects of hazards. Hazards can be natural, such as hurricanes and floods, or technological, such as hazardous materials incidents or a large-scale loss of power. v This page is intentionally blank. vi Tallahassee – Leon County Local Mitigation Strategy 2020 Update Chapter 1 – Planning Process This Chapter covers the planning process that the Local Mitigation Strategy Steering Committee utilized to develop the LMS. 1.1 History of the Tallahassee-Leon County Local Mitigation Strategy In the summer of 1998, the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) provided funding to all Florida counties and municipalities to assist them in preparing a comprehensive Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS). The original goals of the LMS, which remains valid, was to help local officials identify and assess the various natural and technological disasters the county faced and to identify locally developed strategies to reduce the impact of future disasters. Utilizing this funding, the City of Tallahassee and Leon County at that time entered into an interlocal agreement to prepare an LMS that would benefit both local governments. The original LMS stakeholder committee was assembled by the Apalachee Regional Planning Council to create the first edition of the LMS in 1999. All local government departments and divisions with a role in hazard mitigation, disaster response, or public safety were invited to participate. Major employers, including the area hospitals, the universities and schools, were also included, as well as the Tallahassee Builder’s Association, the Chamber of Commerce, the Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA), representing homeowner interests, and the State of Florida’s Division of Emergency Management (DEM). Following an advertised public workshop on September 19, 2000, the first edition of the LMS was adopted by the Leon County Board of County Commissioner at a regular meeting on September 26, 2000, and by the Tallahassee City Commission at a regular meeting on October 11, 2000. Building upon the 1998 interlocal agreement between the City of Tallahassee and Leon County, at set of bylaws for the Tallahassee-Leon

We must take more measures to curb the spread of coronavirus and masks are one the more effective, and simple, means, or doing so. See this research study: https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2009637117 Thank you. Page 1 of 641 Board of County Commissioners, June 23, 2020 Citizen Comments Special Meeting Name: Abra Kinch Address: 1216 Hawthorne Street, Tallahassee, FL 32308 Date Submitted: 6/22/2020 10:31:31 AM I would explore the committee, for the safety of those of us living in Tallahassee, to mandate masks/coverings when in enclosed, public settings, and not while seated and eating. Madison Social has an excellent model. This will normalize masks before kids go back to school and students return to the universities. I would also ask that we set guidelines so that enforcement of this issue is equitable. Certain people should not be policed more than others, and a face mask made as excuse to further put law enforcement pressures on certain citizens more than others. With the climate we’re experiencing now, I’m sure you understand my meaning.

Waste Rock and Water Management at the Tio Mine. Summary of the Project Description. Report produced for Rio Tinto Fer et Titane. 25 p. SUMMARY 1 GENERAL INFORMATION Rio Tinto Fer et Titane inc. (hereinafter “RTFT”) has operated, since 1989, the Havre-Saint-Pierre mine, consisting of a hemo-ilmenite deposit, at its Lake Tio mining property, located 43 km north of Havre-Saint-Pierre (see Figure 1). However, the mine has been in operation since 1950. The most recent data from the mining plan provides for the site to be in operation beyond 2050. According to this plan, the total amount of waste rock which will be generated exceeds the storage capacity available under the current mining leases, which will be reached by the end of 2017. RTFT would therefore like to obtain new land lease agreements for the disposal of waste rock to be generated until the end of the mine’s life.

The French settlers’ relocation to Frenchtown was driven in large measure by the 1825 Lafayette Land Grant which gave Gilbert du Motier (Marquis de Lafayette), a major-general in the Continental Army under George Washington during the American Revolutionary War, a township in the U.S. of his choice for his help in the war. After the Civil War, Frenchtown became a residential area mainly inhabited by newly emancipated slaves. Throughout the years of segregation, Frenchtown evolved into a self-contained neighborhood that housed flourishing grocery stores, retail facilities, professional service providers, and schools. It engendered a cohesive community and quickly became the focal point of African- American culture in North Florida. In its heyday from 1940 through 1960, Frenchtown became the economic, social and commercial “hub” for blacks in the region.
