INTRODUCTION The City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan (MAP) is intended to protect citizens, property, and local economies from natural hazards. The mitigation action plan's sole purpose is to recommend actions based on a solid understanding of the community's vulnerabilities and reduce the impacts of those hazards that are most likely to strike. In addition to developing an outline for proactive actions, this MAP enables the City of Wichita Falls to apply for pre- and post- disaster mitigation funding that would otherwise be unavailable. This funding would assist the City of Wichita Falls to implement their desired goals and objectives summarized in this plan. The primary reason for updating and revising the Wichita Falls Mitigation Action plan is that the original approved plan centered on a regional approach and was modified to fit the City of Wichita Falls only after the 2007 flooding event. The first Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan was approved in 2008. That version was derived from data collected by the NORTEX Regional Planning Commission and the Planning Department of the City of Wichita Falls. The only existing copies of the plan were in typed format. There are no saved electronic word documents for this revision of the 2008 approved mitigation action plan. The current plan was written utilizing some information from the last approved plan, however, most of the plan was developed through extensive data collection from numerous departments both within the City of Wichita Falls and from various state and federal agencies. The mitigation actions from the 2008 plan were either removed or revised to reflect the strategies and planning processes that are tailored toward the City of Wichita Falls. A regional approach was not utilized in the revision of the mitigation action plan. The City of Wichita Falls mitigation actions contained in this plan were derived from other City planning tools and with input from other departments. All of this will help garner a comprehensive mitigation strategic plan that can guide the City's mitigation projects into the future. The City of Wichita Falls' new mitigation action plan is a more robust, flowing document that encompasses the natural hazards that routinely affect this area. With this new plan, the City's focus will be to mitigate natural hazards in a unified and comprehensive planned approach, well into the future. 1 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 1.1 Purpose of Hazard Mitigation The City of Wichita Fall's MAP was created in order to: • Save lives and reduce injuries • Prevent or reduce property losses • Reduce economic loss • Minimize social dislocation • Minimize agricultural losses • Maintain critical facilities in functional order • Protect mental health • Lessen legal liability of government and public officials • Provide positive political consequences for governmental action 1.2 Authority This MAP will be adopted by the City of Wichita Falls prior to implementation and after FEMA Region VI indicates that the plan is approvable. The City of Wichita Falls MAP has been developed to be in accordance with current State and Federal rules and regulations governing local Mitigation Action Plans and shall be routinely monitored to maintain compliance with the following provisions, rules, and regulations. Federal and State Level Authority: • Section 322, Mitigation Planning, of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Assistance Act, enacted by Section 104 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (P.L 106-390) • Title 44 of the Code or Federal Regulations(CFR) Section 201.6. • Texas Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management; the State of Texas Hazard Analysis document & Annex P. 1.3 The Planning Area The City of Wichita Falls is located in the north central part of the State of Texas. Wichita Falls is the county seat in Wichita County. According to the 2010 census, the City of Wichita Falls had a population of 104,553, making it the 29`h most populous city in the State of Texas. Wichita Falls is home to Sheppard Air Force Base, Midwestern State University, Vernon College and is a major regional medical center. A map of the planning area is located in Tab A. 2 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Over the past several years, the City has endured numerous natural disaster events. In 2009, 2011 and 2012, the City of Wichita Falls experienced several severe winter storms that crippled the area. In 2009 and 2010, wildfires ravaged the area, destroying numerous homes in Wichita Falls and the surrounding area. In 2011, over 100 days of 100 degree temperatures were recorded. Since 2011, the City of Wichita Falls has been in severe or extreme drought condition. The City of Wichita Falls is currently in a Stage 5 Drought Disaster with combined lake capacity below 25%. 1.4 Organization of the Plan The City of Wichita Falls' MAP has eight major sections: • Section 1 which deals with the introduction, authority and planning area. • Section 2 summarizes and provides details about the process implemented to develop this plan. This information will facilitate the next time the City of Wichita Falls MAP is updated. • Section 3 identifies the natural hazards that can occur in the planning area and profiles or describes the characteristics of each hazard as a first step in analyzing risk. • Section 4 summarizes the City of Wichita Falls capabilities and resources that may that may be used to implement hazard mitigation actions. This information helps identify the most beneficial and cost effective mitigation actions. • Section 5 describes the risk assessment with a description of potential hazards associated with those risks. This information is important for developing mitigation actions that target certain threats in the Wichita Falls area. • Section 6 includes recommendations for solving identified problems through various mitigation strategies. Some of the recommendations also include strategies for maintaining this MAP so it will remain complete, accurate and relevant to the City of Wichita Falls. After this MAP is formally adopted by the City of Wichita Falls City Council, the responsible City Departments will implement the mitigation actions. • Section 7 is a summary of sources utilized to develop and update the City of Wichita Falls MAP. 3 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 • Section 8 includes copies of all documents used to prepare and update the City of Wichita Falls MAP. This section also will include copies of the City of Wichita Falls ordinance that formally adopts the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan. 2. THE PLANNING PROCESS This section provides details of the City of Wichita Falls planning process. Overall, long-term strategies and short-term tactics are identified which led to the development of specific mitigation actions. These actions will be taken to lessen the impact of identified natural hazards. 2.1 2014 Planning Process Summary The 2014 MAP process began with the establishment of the Wichita Falls Area Mitigation Action Planning Team. Letters and emails were sent to neighboring jurisdictions, Midwestern State University, Sheppard Air Force Base and numerous area agencies that have a stake in natural disasters. 2.1.1 2014 Planning Team The City of Wichita Falls Office of Emergency Preparedness scheduled a Stakeholder Kick-off Meeting on April 23, 2014. Lists of the participants of the Planning Team with the member's title and organization and the sign in sheets of Stakeholders and guests as well as related press releases for the public meeting are attached. See Tab B. 2.1.2 2014 Stakeholder and Public Involvement Besides receiving input from neighboring jurisdictions and stakeholders, the City of Wichita Falls received input from local schools, nursing homes, churches, ambulance services, amateur radio groups, local businesses and non-profit organizations. From the start, open dialogue was established between the City of Wichita Falls' governing bodies and all sectors of the public to create this MAP. This open forum: 1) allowed an exchange of ideas and concerns regarding hazard mitigation between public officials and the community at large to occur; and, 2) helped establish community and official support for the mitigation actions that are outlined in the plan. This open forum consisted of four separate components: public meetings, community surveys, posting of the MAP online with a comment section for the general public and placing a copy of the MAP at the Wichita Falls Public Library for public review and comment. 4 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 April 23, 2014 — Stakeholder Kick-off Meeting and Planning Team Meeting On April 23, 2014, a meeting with stakeholders, partners and City of Wichita Falls staff met to discuss planning and procedures used to collect data and develop the Wichita Falls Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. Almost 50 people attended this planning meeting to discuss the planning process. See Tab C. Representation from the following jurisdictions and agencies were present: City of Wichita Falls -Assistant City Manager - Building and Code Enforcement - Emergency Management -Engineering - Fire - GIS Applications -Health Department -Metropolitan Planning Organization -Municipal Airport -Planning -Police -Property Management -Public Information -Public Works City of Burkburnett City of Electra City of Iowa Park Department of Aging and Disability Services, Area Agency on Aging, NORTEX Regional Planning Commission Midwestern State University North Central Chapter American Red Cross Sheppard Air Force Base Texas Division of Emergency Management Texas State Guard United Regional Health Care System Wichita County Emergency Management Wichita Falls Area Food Bank Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce Wichita Falls Independent School District 5 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 April 23, 2014—Public Meeting On April 23, 2014, the City of Wichita Falls held its first public hearing to gain input from citizens regarding the development and concerns related to natural hazards and mitigation actions. During the course of the meeting, City of Wichita Falls' citizens expressed concerns about safety in light of threats posed by tornadoes. City officials attempted to address these concerns by outlining a sundry of possible mitigation actions the City of Wichita Falls could implement in the near future. For example, City officials spoke of the desire to install safe rooms as a means to protect the public from tornadoes. Citizens also expressed concern about flooding. Again, City officials outlined a series of projects aimed at reducing or eliminating the risks from flooding. For example, drainage improvement projects were discussed. These drainage improvement actions would serve to mitigate the effects from floods on current and future City infrastructure within the 100-year floodplain. Citizens also expressed a great concern for the drought disaster occurring in Wichita Falls and surrounding areas. City officials discussed several possible actions that the City of Wichita Falls staff and engineers were developing to help respond to the drought and to mitigate future drought issues. For example, the Direct Potable Reuse Program would be a possible mitigation action. The possible construction of Lake Ringgold as another water supply was also discussed at great length. Ultimately, City representatives assured the citizens present, that the issues and actions discussed would be addressed in the City of Wichita Falls MAP. See Tab D. April 24, 2014—Public Outreach On April 24, 2014, the Wichita Falls MAP Public Outreach subcommittee produced and rolled out a survey that was sent to Wichita Falls citizens. The Public Outreach subcommittee used Survey Monkey as its platform and questions were attained from the FEMA mitigation guidebook. The survey link was sent to thousands of residents and we received back over 400 responses. These responses were utilized in the development of the Wichita Falls MAP. The Planning Team was pleased with citizen response to the survey and utilized the data to formalize the MAP. See Tab E. 6 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 May 14, 2014—Public Meeting#2 On May 14, 2014, during a regularly scheduled meeting of the Wichita County Local Emergency Planning Committee, a public meeting was held at Holly Energy Partners. Several communities, industrial partners and City of Wichita Falls staff joined together to discuss the development and basis of the Wichita Falls MAP. All involved parties at this meeting agreed with the hazards and mitigation actions that were presented. Once again, a major portion of this meeting was spent on discussing drought and drought response. The input gained from this public meeting was used to strengthen the Wichita Falls MAP and make the City of Wichita Falls a more disaster resistant community and meet the mitigation planning requirements mandated by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. See Tab F. June 20, 2014—Public Review of Draft Mitigation Action Plan A draft copy was placed on display at the Wichita Falls Public Library to allow citizens the opportunity to comment on the MAP. June 26, 2014—Public Review Forum On June 26, 2014, a public forum was held to allow citizens the opportunity to comment on the City of Wichita Falls MAP. This public forum was held at the Wichita Falls Public Library. The Wichita Falls Planning Committee received very little comment from this public meeting and the draft of the MAP on the City Website. Due to very little comment during the review period, which lasted about 2 weeks, no major revisions or changes were made to the draft of the Mitigation Action Plan. See Tab G. Other Methods of Outreach Another method the City of Wichita Falls utilized to allow citizens the opportunity to respond to the mitigation action planning process was through social media. The City of Wichita Falls Public Information office created a link available through the City's Facebook page, encouraging citizens to be a part of the planning process. The social media platform is a powerful tool and the City of Wichita Falls is just beginning to realize the potential of social media. The City received a few responses via social media, but is still learning the system in hopes of using social media, in the future, to allow citizens the opportunity to continually give feedback on mitigation actions within the City of Wichita Falls. 7 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 2.1.3 2014 Outside Assistance The City of Wichita Falls used data from previous Mitigation Action Plans and the Wichita County Mitigation Action Plan in the planning process for the Wichita Falls MAP. Some of the Wichita County Data was obtained from the NORTEX Regional Planning Commission and a mitigation planning contractor, Halff and Associates. 2.1.4 2014 Participation of Neighboring Jurisdictions The City of Wichita Falls MAP encompasses background data that was previously collected for the recently approved Wichita County Mitigation Plan. The City of Wichita Falls used some of this information, since it contained other surrounding jurisdictions, to incorporate the data and information into the City MAP. All surrounding jurisdictions, including Wichita County, realize that natural disasters are not confined to a certain area, city limit or territorial boundary. Natural disasters affect all parts of Wichita County, including Wichita Falls and our threats are predominately the same for all hazards identified in the MAP. Stakeholders from various businesses, local jurisdictions and residents from Wichita Falls and Wichita County were invited and participated with the Mitigation Planning Team. The meetings were open to the public and all stakeholders were given the opportunity to help develop the plan by the sharing of information regarding known hazards in this area. 2.1.5 2014 Existing Information In developing the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan, the City of Wichita Falls referenced several documents and derived data from documents which laid out the foundation of the Plan. Below are the documents that were referenced and utilized in the compilation of the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan. • City of Wichita Falls, Flood Insurance Study, February 3, 2010 • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, Flood Control, Survey Report on Lake Wichita, Holliday Creek, Wichita Falls, Texas, May 1976 • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, Design Memorandum No. 1, General Design, Lake Wichita, Holliday creek, Wichita Falls, Texas, June 1985 8 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, Feasibility Report, Flood Control on McGrath Creek, Wichita Falls, Texas, July 1985 • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, Wichita River Basin Project Reevaluation: Red River Chloride Control Project, April 2003 • Albert H. Halff Associates, Inc for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Red River Watershed, Lake Wichita/Holliday Creek, Wichita Falls, Texas, Plans for Phase I Channel Improvement, June 1988 • Water for Texas 2002, (Texas Water Plan) prepared by the Texas Water Development Board provided information regarding water supply and demand, water conservation measures, proposed water system improvements, long range plans and recommendations to increase public awareness regarding water conservation and evaporation. Water for Texas 2002 identified water issues that pose both current and long range impacts for Wichita County. • The Red River Authority LYw-%v.rra,,qM., the Texas Water Development Board w�,, v.tvvdb,stEttetx,u-%/Iionie/index,.asr) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality !y�y�tqe websites were utilized in development of the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan. The City of Wichita Falls also incorporated and reviewed numerous other plans, studies and reports that have an impact on Hazard Mitigation planning in the City of Wichita Falls. The City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan will correlate and help update and track several of the following plans, reports and studies. These include, but are not limited to, the following: • The City of Wichita Falls Emergency Operations Plan, Annex P — Hazard Mitigation, revised January 25, 2012 • City of Wichita Falls Emergency Operations Plan, Annex H — Health &Medical Response Plan, Revised 2010 • City of Wichita Falls Emergency Operations Plan, Annex H — Health & Medical Response Plan App 11: COOP Plan, Revised 2010 • Downtown Development Incentives Report, Revised 2010 9 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 • 2005 Thoroughfare Plan • Wichita River Development Master Plan 1979 • Lake Wichita Alive! Report 1994 • Lake Wichita Improvements Study 1991 • City of Wichita Falls Storm Drainage Master Plan, April 2011 2.1.6 2014 Public Participation in Future Plan Maintenance The City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Planning Committee will meet each May, to review the overall status of active mitigation action projects inside the City of Wichita Falls. The Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Planning Committee will review the overall status of the Wichita Falls MAP and the status of each specific mitigation action. This will include: • Developing an objective standard by which the progress of each mitigation action can be determined. • Determine that efforts to accomplish specific mitigation actions have been both timely and effective. • If not, make recommendations on what actions should be implemented to ensure the successful accomplishment of the mitigation action. • Determine if specific mitigation actions are still relevant or whether the action should be removed from the plan. The Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Planning committee will prepare an annual report that consolidates the overall current and forecasted status of all Wichita Falls mitigation actions. Each specific mitigation action will be addressed. A report will be forwarded to the City Manager and Mayor. At the discretion of the City Manager, the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator will provide an annual staff report to City Council on the current progress being attained to achieve the goals of the Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan. The City Council meetings are normally televised and reported on by both 10 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 electronic and print media. This will provide an official annual update to both public and elected officials. The City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Planning Committee will begin the process of updating and revising the MAP at least two years from the 5 year expiration of the approved City of Wichita Falls MAP. 2.1.7 2014 Plan Monitoring and Oversight The ongoing review of the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan will evaluate the overall progress of the City's mitigation actions during the next five (5) year revision cycle. This ongoing review is an important part of the mitigation action planning process and is conducted by the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Planning Committee. Another aspect of this process will be to keep both the public and elected officials informed on the status of the City's Mitigation Action Plan. Each adopted mitigation action will be assigned to a specific Wichita Falls Dept or staff position for monitoring. This specific office within the City of Wichita Falls will normally be the office primarily responsible for implementing the mitigation action. The responsible office or position will submit a Mitigation Action Progress Report by April 15 and October 15 of each year to the City of Wichita Falls emergency Preparedness Office. A sample Mitigation Action Progress Report is behind Tab H. The City of Wichita Falls Emergency Preparedness Office will then compile all the data from the Mitigation Action Progress reports and submit an annual report to the City Manager. A detailed description of the process used to maintain and monitor the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan is located in Section 6.7 of this Plan. 2.1.8 2014 Plan Adoption When FEMA Region VI and the Hazard Mitigation Officer for the State of Texas indicate to the City of Wichita Falls that the plan meets all Federal planning regulations and is approvable, the plan will be submitted to the Wichita Falls Mayor and City Council for adoption. The Wichita Falls Mayor and City Council will adopted the Wichita Falls MAP within 30 days from notification from FEMA Region VI and the State of Texas that the MAP is approved. A copy of the adopting ordinance will be placed in Section 8 of the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan. City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 2.1.9 MAP Incorporated into the existing Planning Process The approved 2008 City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action plan was derived from a regional plan that encompassed the 11 counties of the NORTEX regional planning area. The original approved 2008 plan was centered on a regional approach, with the City of Wichita Falls being brought into the plan after the floods of 2007. By doing this, the plan did not fit into the City of Wichita Falls plans and avenues for a long term local hazard mitigation program. This new mitigation action plan prioritizes the strategies and efforts of Wichita Falls and is more robust in prioritizing the strategies and goals of other plans within the City's comprehensive plan system which includes the Comprehensive Storm Water Drainage Plan and the Emergency Operations Plan. The revised City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan will strengthen the overall planning system and guide the Drainage Plan, Hazard Mitigation Annex, THIRA and building code ordinances. This area intentionally left blank. 12 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION This section of the City of Wichita Falls MAP discusses the natural hazards that can occur and do occur within the City of Wichita Falls. A description and history will also be discussed. For each hazard discussed, a hazard analysis worksheet outlines the potential severity, previous occurrences and probability of an occurrence of the hazard any given year. The MAP also describes possible impacts to critical infrastructure of each hazard and how mitigation actions may have changed the impact of the hazard. A brief statement at the end of each hazard will describe possible future considerations with future development and the impact this will have on the City of Wichita Falls hazard mitigation. 3.1 Hazards The citizens of Wichita Falls, as well as Wichita County, are exposed to many hazards, all of which have the potential to disrupt business, cause casualties, damage or destroy property. The City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Planning Committee compiled a list of natural and technological hazards and ranked each according to location, maximum Probable Extent, Probability of Future Events and Overall Significance. Through public input, stakeholders meetings and public comment, a City of Wichita Falls Hazard Summary was developed and is the basis for mitigation actions within the City of Wichita Falls. After the Hazard Summary was developed, the hazards were ranked and the following are what the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Planning Committee ranked as the highest likelihood of occurring with the greatest potential impact to Wichita Falls. See Tab J. • Drought • Flood • Tornado ® Severe Wind • Hail • Wildfire • Severe Winter Storm (snow, ice) While transportation accidents could have a major impact to the City of Wichita Falls, the FEMA guidelines for Mitigation Action Plans address natural hazards and not technological or man made disasters at this time. Other natural hazards discussed were dam failure, earthquakes, extreme heat and extreme cold. In regard to extreme heat and extreme cold, there has been no documentation of losses from extreme heat or extreme cold, although this area is prone to extended periods of time of extremely high or extremely low temperatures. For this reason, the City will not mitigate these hazards. The potential of a damaging earthquake 13 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 has a probability of .001 percent chance of occurring inside the City of Wichita Falls. The potential of any of these hazards damaging critical infrastructure in the City of Wichita Falls is unlikely. This conclusion was based on historical data from the National Weather Service and the United States Geological Society. 3.2 Hazard Profiles Several sources of data were consulted to profile the City of Wichita Falls natural hazards. The sources used are listed below: ■ The Wichita County approved Mitigation Action Plan. ■ The WF Mitigation Action Planning Team meetings in April 2014. ■ The FEMA Disaster Declarations database. ■ The NORTEX Regional Planning Commission THIRA. ■ The National Weather Service out of Norman, Oklahoma. ■ The City of Wichita Falls Hazard Summary in Annex P. ■ US Drought Monitor. ■ Past Hazard Analysis worksheets. ■ NOAA website ■ City of Wichita Falls Floodplain Engineer ■ The Texas Almanac The Mitigation Action Plan touches on six characteristics of the seven identified hazards listed in 3.1 of this plan. The characteristics discussed for the seven identified hazards are: ■ The Potential Severity of Impact ■ The Probability of Occurrence ■ The Possible Impact to Critical Infrastructure ■ Locations Impacted within the City of Wichita Falls ® Previous Occurrences 14 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 ® Future Occurrences. 3.2.1 Drought A drought is a prolonged period of below average precipitation which creates a natural shortage of available water as defined by the National Weather Service. }it z1 4�ii�rs j}{},zS}�Ig�t}t;i��{{ztr�f��,}$if�t'ttr{t'r4'sit�i)#'t�4`zrjS�o$i `Jitlt Substantial .

Please see Tab I for a map illustrating the locations of critical infrastructures identified in this table. 16 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 The Wichita Falls Mitigation Planning Committee classified drought hazard as minor(severity) and highly likely (frequency). The reason drought is listed as minor (severity) and highly likely (frequency) is because the damages that would occur are likely to not be to the infrastructure or residential structures, but the increased likelihood of economic loss and a loss of population. The Texas Almanac 2010-2011 describes droughts that have impacted the Low Rolling Plains that includes Wichita Falls. The duration and extent of droughts in the Texas Low Rolling Plains for the period from 1892 to 2002 are as follows: Year Duration (days) 1901 71 1910 59 1916 73 1917 50 1952 66 1953 71 1956 57 1970 63 1998 69 2003 71 Droughts are defined by the Texas Almanac as events when the Low Rolling Plains received less than 75 percent of the 1931-1960 average precipitation. The Texas Low Rolling Plains normal average rainfall for the period from 1931 to 1960 was 22.99 inches. The Texas Low Rolling Plains had nine (9) drought event during the period from 1892 to 2002, eight (8) one-year droughts and one (1) two-year drought, for a total of ten (10) drought years. During the current drought, which has affected a majority of the state for over 3 years, the City of Wichita Falls has remained at the center of a concentrated area hit by extreme conditions which have caused depletion of the City's water source lakes. These conditions resulted from high temperatures resulting in increased evaporation and greatly diminished rainfall. 17 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Drought Monitor from 2010—2013 (The star marks the City of Wichita Falls) SA.. Intensity: • DO-Abnormally Dry • ;,''(C31 -Moderate Drought • NED2-Severe Drought • D3-Extreme Drought • D4-Exceptional Drought 2011 marked the beginning of a now historic drought in Texas, and Wichita Falls in particular. That year was the "summer to remember" as the City of Wichita Falls saw 100 days over 100 degrees, compared to a normal yearly average of 28 days of 100+ degrees. This caused the Weather Channel to declare Wichita Falls as having "the worst summer anywhere in the US!" t In addition, the City measured only 13 inches of rain for the entire year. This is less than half of the average annual rainfall of 28.5 inches per year. There has been only modest improvement, as 19 inches of rain was recorded in 2012, and 23 inches of rain recorded for 2013. 2011 and 2012 were also the first two consecutive years below 20 inches of recorded rainfall in 114 years. To date, the area is still receiving below average amounts of rainfall. As of September of 2014, Wichita Falls has received 17.07 inches of rain which is 3.77 inches below normal. 2014 has shown little change for this drought disaster. The impact of this disaster continues to affect not only the citizens but livestock and wildlife. 18 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 US Drought monitor for 2014.

The current drought in the Wichita Falls area is now the drought of record. For this reason, drought has been classified as minor (severity) and highly likely (frequency). 19 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Due to the lack of substantial rainfall and dry conditions, the Wichita Falls area will remain in extreme to exceptional drought for the foreseeable future. A history of drought for the Wichita Falls area can be seen in Tab S. Again, the major damage from the current drought is not to the infrastructure, but the increased likelihood of economic loss and the loss of population. Damage could occur to homes and businesses as watering of foundations ceases due to City restrictions, the structures could suffer significant impact to foundations. This figure would be extremely hard to estimate due to water wells, water hauling and rain collection procedures. Also, there is already a likelihood of foundations already damaged through the years, plus foundations that are built or poured at levels that will not experience foundation failure. Below, Figures 1 through 3 - Lake Arrowhead; Figures 4 through 6 - Lake Kemp; and Figures 7 through 9 - Lake Kickapoo; displays the dramatic loss of water that the City of Wichita Falls' water supply has experienced since 1990. These lakes were shown because their capacity is 100,000 acre feet or more and are the main water supply for Wichita Falls and the surrounding area.

Also, please see the City of Wichita Falls' flood map in Tab K. The red dashed line indicates the City of Wichita Falls'jurisdictional boundaries. *FIRMettes—is a Flood Insurance Rate Map divided into smaller map quadrants. Building standards have been in place since 2007 prevent building critical facilities within direct flood hazard areas. The City of Wichita Falls has a history of localized flooding. Local mitigation flood control projects by the City of Wichita Falls eliminated much of the neighborhood flooding caused by significant rainfall. Currently, the City has developed a multi-year, mitigation action program that is designed to eliminate the majority of areas that have a history of neighborhood flooding. A current project is occurring on McNeil Street. This project entails reworking the storm drainage system in that area to eliminate neighborhood flooding. The cost of this project is approximately six million dollars and is scheduled to be completed in 2014. A map depicting flooding areas within the City of Wichita Falls can be seen in Tab K. 26 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Major flooding occurred in Wichita Falls in 1982 and 2007. In 1982, the City experienced a major flood as a result of heavy rain that fell in the McGrath Creek and Holliday Creek watersheds. Approximately 10 inches of rainfall fell within 24 hours on the McGrath Creek watershed. The resulting flood is thought to be at least a 50 year flood event but could possibly be a 100 year flood event. Since this event, mitigation actions within Wichita Falls have been taken to develop flood control measures that are designed to prevent a repetition of these flood events. Another major flood event occurred in 2007 with a record breaking rise of the Wichita River which runs through the City of Wichita Falls. This event was the result of a storm system that stalled over the Wichita Falls area for over a week. This event resulted in residential flooding in the Tanglewood Sub- division and as the Wichita Falls River crested in this record breaking event, portions of the east side of the community also flooded. See Tab L. Flash flooding in Wichita Falls is a major concern. Many mitigation projects have occurred in the past to address these concerns. From 2 to 10 inches of rain, the City of Wichita Falls could have localized flash flooding in most areas of the City. For major flooding along the river that are depicted in the map in Tab L, large amounts of rain would have to occur in Baylor County, Wilbarger County and Wichita County. In 2007, over 15 inches of rain occurred, causing flooding in the area. But, flooding occurred due to the Red River being swollen and no where for runoff. The actual amount of rain needed to flood the area again is not measured in inches or feet, but numerous factors have to be addressed. We do know that over 2 feet of rain would flood most of the area that was previously flooded in 2007, but the run off and storage reservoirs are so low that this figure may be raised as engineering studies are reworked. The history of flooding in Wichita Falls can be seen in Tab T. Wichita Falls will continue to experience flash flooding in certain areas of the City. However, with numerous mitigation projects ongoing, the areas affected are being eliminated by these projects. Major flooding is always a possibility with a river that runs through Wichita Falls. But once again, with ongoing mitigation projects and the possibility of future projects, flooding along the river that affects critical infrastructure, homes and businesses is decreasing. 27 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 3.2.2.1 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Policy and Claims Data as of Aug 2013 Policies Coverage ($) Claims (#) Claims ($) 971 $190,223,000.00 933 $14,286,152.90 Wichita Falls has participated in the NFIP since October 1979 and the current floodplain map was issued on February 3, 2010. The City of Wichita Falls continues to participate in the NFIP. See Tab M. There have been 101 substantial damage claims within the City of Wichita Falls since the City became a part of NFIP in 1979. A substantial damage claim occurs when an insurance claim is filed claiming 50% or more damage to the property. A high of 137 Repetitive Loss Properties were previously identified within Wichita Falls. The City of Wichita Falls, through various engineering projects and mitigation actions, has removed structures from the flood plain thus reducing the number of properties designated as Repetitive Loss Properties. At this time, the City of Wichita Falls has 22 Repetitive Loss Properties. A Repetitive Loss Property is a property that has received two or more paid claims equal to or exceeding $1,000.00. The 22 Repetitive Loss Properties in Wichita Falls are frame structure homes within the floodplain. The City of Wichita Falls is categorized as a Class C Repetitive Loss Community. 3.2.2.2 Community Rating System Credit for the City of Wichita Falls Below is information from the cover letter of the 2011 CRS Re-Validation Summary / NIFP#480662 prepared by Leo Bethge, Planner II of the City of Wichita Falls.

Activity 360 Flood Protection Assistance: The Engineering staff of the City of Wichita Falls will continue to conduct site visits to provide assistance to various locations throughout the City. This assistance includes actions that can be taken by the property owner to mitigate property loss from flooding. Activity 410 Additional Flood Data: The City does not require a flood study at the time of development for properties that are located within Zone A SFHA. The City does require finish floor elevations to be one foot above Base Flood Elevation. The Base Flood Elevation can be determined according to FEMA's "Managing Floodplain Development in Approximate Zone A Areas" publication. Activity 420 Open Spaces: The updated Open Space Plan includes all open space within the SFHA's, to include parks, detention areas, and HMGP buyouts. Activity 430 Higher Regulatory Requirements: A copy of the City's Floodplain Ordinance is attached. The City has also adopted the 2009 International Building Code (IBC). The City is also part of the Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS) program. 29 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Activity 440 Additional Flood Data: The FIRM Data Sample map indicates all flood data criteria per the CRS Coordinator's manual. See Tab R. Activity 450 Storm water Management: The City has adopted a Storm water quality ordinance, a Storm water Design manual to manage storm water and the City Engineer's website addresses Best Management Practices for Contractors and Citizens and Erosion Control Standards, a Site and Drainage Plan, and a Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan. Activity 501 Repetitive Loss Requirements: The City manages repetitive loss primarily through mitigation projects. Currently the City has 22 Repetitive Loss Properties that have not been mitigated and still remain in the floodplain. This is a reduction of 116 properties out of a total of the original 138 properties that were in the floodplain. Activity 520 Acquisition and Relocation: The City has 19 properties located within the SFHA. None of these properties are on the mitigated or unmitigated repetitive loss list. The structures on these properties have been purchased and the structures removed. Activity 540 Drainage System Maintenance: The City of Wichita Falls has a No Dumping Ordinance that prohibits dumping within the City limits. Activity 610 Warning The City of Wichita Falls has a multi-layered warning system which is used to provide warning of floods and other hazards. The City utilizes Code Red, a telephonic warning system, to provide various warnings to the public. This warning system allows for the selection of specific geographic areas such as areas within the flood plain to receive warning. In addition Police and Fire personnel will be utilized to go door to door to alert the public to potential hazards. Emergency vehicles equipped with bull horns and loud speaker systems will also provide warning to neighborhoods at risk. 30 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 3.2.3 Tornado Tornado is defined by the National Weather Service as a violently rotating column of air extending between, and in contact with, a cloud and the surface of the earth. t Ittl7tt j}tf Sits{} }Jt}f i[[Y 17 '!

Please see the map illustrating the locations of critical infrastructure identified in this table in Tab I. While there has not been significant tornado activity within the City of Wichita Falls since 1979, tornadoes have occurred within Wichita County. Since 1980, the probability or rate of occurrences of tornadoes in Wichita County has been estimated at 67% chance per year. This estimate is calculated by the National Weather Service and Severe Weather Climatologists.

In 1963, an EF5 tornado touched down in the northern part of the City and moved toward and through Sheppard .Air Force Base, destroying the base hospital. This tornado resulted in 7 fatalities and almost 600 injured. Property damage was estimated to be about 15 million dollars. (1963 dollars) The total dollar amount of damages in 2014 dollars would be almost$117 million dollars. In 1979, one of the most destructive tornados in the history of Texas occurred in Wichita Falls. This EF4 / 5 tornado struck the southwest part of the City of Wichita Falls with a path of destruction that covered almost 20% of the geographic area of the City. Terrible Tuesday, as it is referred, resulted in 46 fatalities (estimates vary) and approximately 1,740 injuries. 33 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 The National Weather Service narrative below sums up the property damage from Terrible Tuesday: "Total property damage in Wichita Falls was estimated at $400,000,000 (in 1979 dollars). Over 3,000 homes were destroyed and another 1,000 were damaged and over 1,000 apartment units / condominiums were destroyed and another 130 damaged. In addition, approximately 140 mobile homes were destroyed, two schools were demolished and 11 others sustained serious damage. Over 100 commercial businesses, some of them large manufacturing concerns, were destroyed. It is estimated that 5,000 families, containing 20,000 residents, were left homeless in Wichita Falls. Such a total would mean that between 10 to 20% of the population of the City of Wichita Falls was displaced by the tornado." In today's dollars, the total property damage estimate would be 1.3 billion dollars in damage. See the map in Tab O. Even though the recent impact of tornadoes within Wichita Falls or Wichita County, for that matter, has not been significant, the citizens of Wichita Falls are very aware of the dangers that tornadoes pose to this community and county. For this reason, a major tornado outbreak is a real concern of citizens, regardless of recent history. A history of tornados in the Wichita County/Wichita Falls area can be seen in Tab U. With this data, the City of Wichita Falls can expect tornado activity in the future, with most occurrences being EFO to EF1 in nature. However, the City of Wichita Falls does have history of an EF 4 and EF5 rated tornado, and prepares and mitigates for the possibility of a future massive tornado. As a result of Terrible Tuesday, many families that reside in Wichita Falls have taken advantage of the Storm Shelter Rebate program managed by the Office of Emergency Management of Wichita County. Even with this program, many residents still do not have reinforced tornado shelters. The concern of citizens and the potential for intensive damage, injuries and fatalities resulting from an EF4 or EF5 tornado has prompted the City of Wichita Falls to rate tornadoes as a substantial hazard threat to this community. 34 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 3.2.4 Severe Wind Severe Wind is defined as sustained winds greater than or equal to 40 mph or gusts greater than or equal to 58 mph. q*Of 1f • Multiple deaths.

The City of Wichita Falls experiences severe winds on a regular basis. A history of Severe Wind is in Tab V. Most of these damaging winds are caused by thunderstorms. High winds also occur with severe winter storms such as blizzards and snow storms in the Wichita Falls area. These high wind occurrences during snow and ice cause numerous shutdowns and impact business in a variety of ways. Damaging severe winds can produce life-threatening elements. In 1995, approximately 38 people were killed nationally and another 473 injured because of destructive severe winds. During a period between 1991 and 2003, a total of one hundred thirty-nine (139) severe wind events were reported in Wichita County, resulting in $ 1.2 M in property damage. Normally, straight-line winds flowing out from a thunderstorm downdraft do not exceed 30 miles per hour. When outflow winds reach 58 MPH (50 knots) or higher, the winds are usually classified as severe. The Beaufort scale below classifies wind description and wind speeds. 36 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Flan 2014 Beaufort Wind Strength Scale Beaufort Description When You See or Feel This Wind Wind Force Effect (mph) (km/h) 0 Calm Smoke goes straight up less less than than 1 2 Wind direction is shown by 1 Light air smoke drift but not by wind 1-3 2-5 vane 2 Light breeze Wind is felt on the face; leaves 4-7 6-11 rustle; wind vanes move Gentle Leaves and small twigs move 3 breeze steadily; wind extends small 8-12 12-19 flags straight out 4 Moderate Wind raises dust and loose 13-18 20-29 breeze paper; small branches move 5 Fresh breeze Small trees sway; waves form 19-24 30-39 on lakes Strong Large branches move; wires 6 breeze whistle; umbrellas are difficult 25-31 40-50 to use Moderate Whole trees are in motion; 7 gale walking against the wind is 32-38 51-61 difficult 8 Fresh gale Twigs break from trees; walking 39-46 62-74 against the wind is very difficult Buildings suffer minimal 9 Strong gale damage; roof shingles are 47-54 75-87 removed 10 Whole gale Trees are uprooted 55-63 88-101 11 Violent Widespread damage 64-72 102-116 storm 12 Hurricane Widespread destruction 73+ 117+ Severe winds produced by thunderstorms have been termed downbursts by renowned severe storm researcher Dr. Ted Fujita. He further classifies these events as macro-bursts when the damage area is larger than 2.5 square miles, or microburst's when the damage area is less then 2.5 square miles. Downbursts can cause damage equivalent to a `strong' tornado and are extremely dangerous to aviation, especially aircraft taking off or landing. 37 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Many severe wind survivors often feel consolation in saying they were in a tornado, when in fact, downburst winds were in effect. Downbursts are characterized by divergent, broad, and diffuse damage tracks, and a lack of rotation about a vertical axis. Aerial surveys after the fact best reveal these facts. The figure below depicts that Wichita Falls and Wichita County have a 40% probability of a significant wind event occurring.

This would cause widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure and could cause casualties in the areas most impacted by severe winds. 38 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 3.2.5 Hail By definition, hail is the formation of solid precipitation. It consists of balls, conical shaped or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone. Hail is possible within most thunderstorms and within 2 miles of the main storm. Hail formation requires environments of strong, upward motion of air with the main thunderstorm and lowered heights of the freezing level. Hail generally falls at higher speeds as they grow in size, though complicating factors such as melting, friction with air, wind, and interaction with rain and other hailstones can slow their descent through earth's atmosphere. Severe weather warnings are issued for hail when the stones reach a damaging size, as it can cause serious damage to critical infrastructure and injury to citizens.

Severe thunderstorms with hail are a highly likely occurrence in Wichita Falls and the North Central Texas area. Hail events occur year round; however, the peak season is in the spring of each year. A severe thunderstorm producing hail is expected to occur at least once a year, and can occur anywhere in Wichita Falls 40 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 and Wichita County. Hail storms occur most often between the hours of noon and 10:00 PM. Besides hail events associated with severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, floods, and severe winds are possible, but each of these events are profiled separately. Since 2008, the City of Wichita Falls and Wichita County have experienced some 70 thunderstorms which produced around 193 hail events. This information is from Rick Smith, Meteorologist from the NWS Norman. Damage from these storms have been minimal, with most being damage to roofs and cars from hail. Hail ranges in size from vanishing small particles to grapefruit size dimensions. Hailstones may be spherical, conical or irregular in shape. The size and shape is governed by the violence of the storm cell; the lifting and falling of the freezing moisture pellet within the storm cell increases the size of the hailstone until it is ejected from the cloud. Below is the TORRO Hailstone Intensity Scale. Wichita Falls and Wichita County has experienced severe to destructive hail in the past and is highly likely in the probability of future events.

A map of the high wildfire potential areas in Wichita Falls is in Tab P. 1. 14,000 Acre Area-Southern-most tip of wildfire area is located at the intersection of highways 82 and 369. Northern most tip of wildfire area is located at the intersection of Peterson Rd. North and Highway 287. 2.4,300 Acre Area-Southern-mast tip of wildfire area is located at the intersection of City View Drive and Kiel Lane. Northern-most tip wildfire area is located at the intersection of Howmet Road and Highway 3492. 3. 1,950 Acre-Area-Southern-most tip of wildfire area is located at the intersection of Deer Creek Road and Rathgeber Road. Northern-most tip of the wildfire area is located at the intersection of Hammon Road and Production Blvd. Although the City of Wichita Falls is prone to drought-induced wildfires, much of the threat is mitigated through agriculture and farming. The current Northern Fuel Fire Laboratory Fuel Model for Wichita Falls consists of tall grass interspersed with mesquite hard wood. The City of Wichita Falls has experienced several wildfires since 2008. The largest occurred in 2011 on the north side of Wichita Falls. The Wichita Complex Fire, as it was named, destroyed/damaged 9 homes in Wichita Falls. The City of Wichita Falls also experienced two other wildfires in that year that damaged 3 more homes and several storage sheds. The map in Tab P depicts areas of the City of Wichita Falls that are vulnerable to wildfire, including the areas that have experienced damaging wildfires. A Fire Intensity Map in Tab X helps ascertain that Wichita Falls has the potential of wildfires and shows the most susceptible areas in Wichita Falls for Wildfire Urban Interface. The legend in Tab X shows that Wichita Falls has the characteristics of being moderate to a high level of susceptibility of wildfire in the urban areas. A history of reported wildfires since 2011 in the Wichita Falls area is in Tab Y. There have been no other reported wildfires in Wichita Falls previous to 2011. With the last few years of wildfire data and the changing climate, the City of Wichita Falls has the potential for urban area wildfires to continue in the future. 44 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 3.2.7 Severe Winter Storms Severe Winter Storms develop when moisture in the air is lifted up into the atmosphere into cold air(subfreezing temperatures)that form clouds and cause precipitation. The precipitation falls in the form of snow, ice, or sleet(raindrops that are super cooled in the air before falling to the ground). Severe winter storms typically involve strong winds, extreme cold, ice storms, snow storms, sleet, and/or freezing rain.

This area intentionally left blank. 50 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 4. CAPABILITIES AND RESOURCES A review of capabilities and resources is an essential part of the planning process so that recommended mitigation actions are appropriate for the City of Wichita Falls. This section of the plan identifies the existing capabilities and resources of the City of Wichita Falls that can be activated or leveraged to support actions that will mitigate the negative effects of the identified natural hazards. For this plan,two categories of local government capabilities were reviewed: • Planning and Regulatory Mechanisms • Technical and Financial Resources Information is based on data provided by local government officials and City Staff members as part of an April 2014 meetings, as well as a review of other local plans,policies and regulations. 4.1 Planning and Regulatory Mechanisms Planning and regulatory mechanisms include policies, regulations, ordinances, programs and local law that provide the legal authority for the City of Wichita Falls to manage development and growth. The City of Wichita Falls has a Master Plan which outlines growth and economic development. The City of Wichita Falls also has the following planning, regulatory guidelines and capabilities: • Comprehensive Land Use Plan Wichita Falls has developed a comprehensive land use plan that identifies locations with types of development and natural resources within the City boundaries. • Emergency Operations Plan The City of Wichita Falls has a plan for managing community resources to prepare for all hazards, for responding to the needs of residents following the event and for beginning the recovery process from the effects of natural hazards. The City of Wichita Falls is at the Advanced level of planning for the current Emergency Operations Plan. 51 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 • Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment(THIRA) The City of Wichita Falls received a copy of the Regional THIRA which includes eleven counties as well as the City of Wichita Falls. This plan was developed the North Texas Council of Government (VORTEX COG) without much input from the individual jurisdictions or the City of Wichita Falls. The City of Wichita Falls, in conjunction with Wichita County, anticipates developing a local THIRA that is limited to Wichita County in the next 24 months. • Zoning Code The City of Wichita Falls has adopted a zoning ordinance to regulate the development and land use within the City Limits. • Building Code The City of Wichita Falls enforces the 2009 International Code Council series of Building Codes, which is a set of rules specifying minimum acceptable levels of safety for construction. The City of Wichita Falls is planning to adopt the 2015 version of the International Code in the coming year. The main purpose of the building code is to protect the public's safety, health and general welfare. • Building Permit Process The City of Wichita Falls requires building permits to ensure that new construction, remodeling, reconstruction and demolition are in compliance with all City of Wichita Falls adopted zoning and building codes. • Flood Damage Prevention The City of Wichita Falls participates in the NFIP and has adopted a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. This ordinance specifies standards for development in the identified Special Floods Hazard Areas (SFAS). The City has adopted and enforces the floodplain management requirements, including regulating development in the SFAS. All development in the floodplain must receive a Floodplain Development permit and most require elevation certificates to be completed prior to final acceptance. Elevation Certificates (EC) are maintained in both hard copy and electronic formats. The EC's are available for review upon request. 52 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 The City of Wichita Falls maintains electronic floodplain mapping information that can be printed for residents and developers upon request, indicating the impact of the 100 and 500 year floodplains on property located within the City. This information is kept current by the City of Wichita Falls Floodplain Manager and GIS technician. Flood maps and flood protection references are available at the Wichita Falls Public Library and the City Engineering division on the fourth floor of Memorial Auditorium located at 1300 7 th Street, to see if they are in a mapped floodplain. City Staff at these locations can provide answers to questions residents and developers may have and help interpret the floodplain information. The City of Wichita Falls Floodplain Manager ensures compliance with the City Floodplain ordinance through development and permit review. The Floodplain Manager will also make periodic on site visits to ensure that compliance is adhered throughout the building process. Several of the planning mechanisms above are not updated regularly or frequently by City of Wichita Falls staff. Codes and plans can be updated at any time by vote of the City Council, after receiving advice from the City legal department and through a process of public hearings. Emergency Management staff annually review several of the plans and documents along with anticipated expenditures for development of these plans along with mitigation actions. The reviewed plans and anticipated budget hearings provide City decision makers the opportunity to also recommend modifications to established plans and building codes. 4.2 Technical Financial Resources Existing resources include the technical expertise and knowledge of local government staff as well as financial resources and opportunities to obtain grants that will support mitigation actions. Technical resources include the administrative abilities and knowledge that will be necessary for the implementation of mitigation actions. Technical resources are also provided through the State of Texas and municipal government agencies. The following summarizes the City of Wichita Falls staffing resource available to support hazard mitigation actions: • Building and Code Administrator • City Engineer • City Planner 11 • Director of Public Works • Emergency Preparedness Coordinator • Floodplain Manager 53 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 • GIS Application Coordinator • Public Health Preparedness Coordinator • Storm water Drainage Engineer All of these positions are filled within the City of Wichita Falls organization and are called upon to support and discuss hazards that could impact the City of Wichita Falls. Technical expertise and resources can also be provided by two schools of higher education. Midwestern State University and Vernon College supply experts to present current information about hazards, life safety and property preservation. The City of Wichita Falls has a population of 104, 553 (2010 census); however, because of workers that commute and Sheppard Air Force Base, the population may be greater. The 2010 United States Census data shows that the median income for a household in the city was $32,554, and the median income for a family was $39,911. Males had a median income of $27,609 versus $21,877 for females. The per capita income for the city was $16,761. About 10.8% of families and 13.9% of the population were below the poverty line, including 17.7% of those under age 18 and 10.3% of those ages 65 or over. Thus, the City of Wichita Falls can support only a limited number of mitigation actions. Financial resources are necessary for implementing mitigation actions and projects. In addition to fiscal year budgets, the City of Wichita Falls has the opportunity to fund hazard mitigation actions through several grant funded activities: • Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Disaster Recovery Assist. In response to disasters, Congress may appropriate additional funding as CDBG Disaster Recover grants to aide in rebuilding the affected areas and provide money to begin the recovery process. • Hazard Mitigation Assistant Grant Program The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMPG) is authorized under Section 404 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. It provides grant funding to the State of Texas and local governments to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures after a major disaster declaration. For example, after the 2007 flooding event in Wichita Falls, a buyout program to purchase properties in the floodway was funded through the HMGP. 54 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Wichita County utilizes HMPG to fund the Storm Shelter Rebate program. This program has been very effective in helping citizens, not only in Wichita County, but in the City of Wichita Falls, build storm shelters to protect their families from natural hazards that affect our area. This area intentionally left blank. 55 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 5. RISK ASSESSMENT The Risk Assessment builds on findings related to the nature of hazards and their potential impacts to Wichita Falls. The purpose of conducting a systematic Risk Assessment is to objectively compare the hazards that can occur in the City of Wichita Falls and identify those for which taking action to reduce or eliminate exposure to damage is a top priority. This section first describes the City of Wichita Falls' critical infrastructure that is at risk of damage or loss due to natural hazards. This section also compares losses experienced in previous or historical occurrences of hazards to develop an understanding of the potential for losses in the future. This section includes a presentation of specific problems faced by the community that can be addressed through hazard mitigation actions and concludes by identifying mitigation priorities. For the remainder of this plan, hazards will be presented in alphabetical order to make it easier to track the various mitigation actions that are proposed, evaluated and implemented in the City of Wichita Falls MAP. 5.1 Community Assets Community assets include people, components of the economy, the build environment including structures and infrastructure and natural resources. • People People are our most important asset. With a total population of 104,553 and an area of 71 square miles, the City of Wichita Falls has dense areas of population as well as large areas of undeveloped land. The population density of people per square mile is 1,474 persons. There are 41,916 housing units at an average density of 593 per square mile • Built Environment The built environment includes housing, infrastructure, critical facilities, commercial facilities, industrial facilities and cultural resources. All components of the built environment are important for the economic growth and stability of Wichita Falls. 56 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 A significant component to the economic growth and stability for the City of Wichita Falls is the critical infrastructure. The City of Wichita Falls has identified their critical infrastructure with an estimated value of $143,401,426.00. The City of Wichita Falls would be severely hampered in its ability to function if more than two of the facilities listed in Tab Q were destroyed or significantly damaged during any natural hazard. 5.2 Potential Losses • People To estimate the number of people vulnerable to injury or loss of life by each hazard in the future, the total number of injured or killed by each hazard is used. The data shows that tornadoes are the biggest historical hazard with 46 deaths and over a thousand injuries resulting from the tornado of 1979. The tornado of 1963 had 7 deaths and almost 600 injuries. These two events were the most costly and damaging natural hazards in Wichita Falls history. No other natural hazard that has occurred inside the City of Wichita Falls has caused loss of life or large numbers of injury. • Economy The City of Wichita Falls is dependent upon major employers. In the event of a natural hazard, Wichita Falls would suffer major economic loss if businesses and governmental agencies closed due to the disaster. The total number of persons engaged in non-farm employment in Wichita Falls is 57,500. • Built Environment This plan does not provide a prediction of future losses. Rather, the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan compares losses due to identified natural hazards in the past as one step in the planning process of determining how best to utilize valuable City resources to mitigate the potential for future damages. Estimates of the greatest previous losses have been identified from single occurrences of natural hazards that have or could occur in Wichita Falls. All amounts have been converted to 2014 dollars using the inflation calculator provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Data used to develop this MAP are considered to be the best available but has not been thoroughly verified as part of the planning process. 57 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 • Natural Resources As natural hazards are normal environmental conditions, no long-term negative effects are expected for natural resources. Natural resources will recover from damage caused by a natural hazard, even if with slightly altered characteristics such as with immature plants or different geological sites. 5.3 Summary Statements As a result of the Risk Assessment, natural hazards were grouped into two categories; 1) Hazards that have a high probability of occurrence and/or the potential to result in costly damage, and 2) hazards for which there is no history of extensive damage in the planning area or the probability of occurrence in any given year is less than thirty percent. The first category should be addressed as soon as possible, and the second category should be addressed when opportunities arise or funding is available. The hazards that should be addressed as soon as resources permit are: • Drought • Flood • Tornado • Hail • Wildfire • Severe Wind • Severe Winter Storm These next hazards should be addressed when opportunity arises or the threat and risk for damage increases: • Dam Failure • Extreme Heat • Extreme Cold • Transportation Accident The City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan will consider actions that reduce risk to existing and future development. The identified actions in Section 6 of this plan have been analyzed for technical feasibility, political acceptance, funding issues and estimated benefit cost review, including qualitative and quantitative benefits. Evaluation criteria include analysis of life safety, property preservation along with technical and political alternatives. 58 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 6.0 MITIGATION STRATEGIES The City of Wichita Fall went through an extensive review of past mitigation activities. Planners felt that the only way to plan for the future was to understand what mitigation actions had been pursued in the past. A mitigation action worksheet was filled out by City of Wichita Falls planners during the creation of this plan. The data collected from this worksheet helped city planners better understand the action items that had worked in the past. In this section, the City of Wichita Falls sets out a strategy for mitigating the potential effects of natural hazards that have been presented. The process begins with identifying the goals and objectives. This section will discuss various mitigation actions that are proposed. Once the City of Wichita Falls MAP is adopted, the City will make a commitment to implement the proposed mitigation action plan as funding and resources permit. 61 Goals & Objectives The mitigation actions were developed through mitigation goals and objectives that were formulated by the City of Wichita Falls to reduce or eliminate the long term risk to human life and property from each significant hazard. The following is a list of these goals and objectives: 6.1.1 Goal 1: Protect public health and Safety • Objective 1.1: Advise the public about health and safety precautions to guard against injury and loss of life from hazards. • Objective 1.2: Maximize the utilization of the latest technology to provide adequate warning, communication, and mitigation of hazard events. • Objective 1.3: Reduce the danger to, and enhance protection of, dangerous areas during hazard events. • Objective 1.4: Protect critical facilities and services. 6.1.2 Goal 2: Protect existing and new properties • Objective 2.1: Reduce repetitive losses to the National Flood Insurance Program. • Objective 2.2: Use the most cost-effective approaches to protect existing and new building and public infrastructure from hazards. • Objective 2.3: Enact and enforce regulatory measures to ensure that development will not put people in harm's way or increase threats to existing and new properties. 59 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 6.1.3 Goal 3: Increase public understanding, support, and demand for hazard mitigation. • Objective 3.1: Increase public awareness of the full range of natural and man-made hazards they face. • Objective 3.2: Educate the public on actions they can take to prevent or reduce the loss of life or property from all hazards. • Objective 3.3: Publicize and encourage the adoption of appropriate hazard mitigation measures. • Objective 3.4: Encourage public policy to promote mitigation activities among the local jurisdictions. 6.1.4 Goal 4: Promote growth in a sustainable manner. • Objective 4.1: Incorporate hazard mitigation into the long-range planning and development activities. • Objective 4.2: Promote beneficial uses of hazardous areas while expanding open space and recreational opportunities. • Objective 4.3: Utilize regulatory approaches to prevent creation of future hazards to life and property. 6.1.5 Goal 5: Maximize the use of outside sources of funding. • Objective 5.1: Maximize the use of outside sources of funding. • Objective 5.2: Maximize participation of property owners in protecting their properties. • Objective 5.3: Maximize insurance coverage to provide financial protection against hazard events. • Objective 5.4: Prioritize mitigation projects, based on cost effectiveness and starting with those sites facing the greatest threat to life, health and property. The goals and objectives of the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan reflect similar goals to those found in the State of Texas Mitigation Plan and those of the National Flood Insurance program. This similarity is not intentional. It is, however, understandable that the goals established through these three separate efforts are similar because of the similar purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program, the State of Texas Mitigation Action Plan and the City of Wichita Falls' Mitigation Action Plan. 6.2 Coordination of Mitigation Actions Once the goals and objectives were identified, the City of Wichita Falls went through an extensive review of past mitigation activities. Planners felt that the only way to plan for the future was to understand what mitigation actions had been pursued in the past. A hazard mitigation planning worksheet was filled out by City of Wichita Falls planners and staff during the creation of this MAP. The data collected from the worksheets; helped the City of Wichita Falls better understand the action items that had worked in the past. 60 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 When the mitigation action planning committee and City planners choose what mitigation actions they would support, they took the following into account: • Past Hazard Mitigation Activities • Cost Benefit review (would be performed at future date) • Comments and concerns of the Mitigation Action Planning Committee • City wide public meetings • City wide surveys • Comments left by citizens on the draft MAP • HazardNulnerabilities Analysis • Loss Estimates Each mitigation action was developed by identifying several possible actions, conducting a benefit-cost analysis for each action, identifying organizations responsible for each action, creating objectives relevant to actions, creating an implementation schedule, and prioritizing potential funding sources for each action. Prioritizing potential funding sources involved identifying the name, authority, and funding source of each program. City staff, in coordination with the Mitigation Action Planning Conu-nittee and members of the public, chose what mitigation actions would go into this MAP. Three criterions were used to prioritize mitigation actions: • Local Politics • Local Budgeting Constraints • Understanding of City of Wichita Falls Objectives Through all of this, mitigation actions for the City of Wichita Falls were developed or expanded upon to complete this comprehensive Mitigation Action Plan. 6.3 Action Plan The City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Planning Committee developed and submitted several mitigation activities that are currently being undertaken or are being considered in the next few years. These mitigation action items were added to the Wichita County Mitigation actions, as those actions will benefit and fall within the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation planning goals and objectives. A cost benefit analysis is done utilizing available funds, and the needs of the City of Wichita Falls. Currently, drought mitigation actions and flooding mitigation actions are foremost in the minds of the public and the planning committee, so drought and flooding are priority actions that are receiving funding from various sources. The City of Wichita Falls identifies mitigation actions through various plans and strategic planning sessions. 61 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 The City utilizes the following plans to help identify the hazards that most need to be addressed: ■ Downtown Development Incentives Report ■ 2005 Thoroughfare Plan ■ Storm Water Drainage Plan ■ City of Wichita Falls Strategic Plan 2014 ■ 2009IBC ■ 2009IFC ■ Appendix A of the Code of Ordinances (Subdivision& Development Regulations) ■ Appendix B of the Code of Ordinances (Zoning Ordinances) 6.4 Mitigation Actions EME I NN Res)Addressed from Section 6.1: R1.3, ,4.1,4.3, 5.1,5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Drought Overall Significance Ranking (High, Med, Low): High Estimated Cost: $350,000,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Grant Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Public Works/Engineering Implementation Schedule: 30 year implementation Effect on New Buildings: This action will not directly affect new buildings although without an adequate potable water supply, construction of new buildings will be significantly curtailed. Effect on Existing Buildings: This action will not directly affect existing buildings although without an adequate potable water supply, families and businesses in the Wichita Falls area will begin to relocate to areas that have an ample supply of potable water. This would cause existing structures to be vacated and become dilapidated and invariably lose tax revenue. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is high but the potential benefits will reduce the property damage due to economic impact due to drought. Discussion: This action would decrease property damage in Wichita Falls and surrounding areas and would have a definite impact on the future economic development and property preservation of the City of Wichita Falls. Water is needed for basic life sustainment. Without an ample supply of potable water, businesses and citizens will be at risk for disease,fire and economic loss. 62 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Objective(s)Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.3, 2.2,4.1,4.3, 5.1, 5.4 Hazard(s) Addressed: Drought Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): High Estimated Cost: $29Y000,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: Bond, General Fund, FEMA Grant, Private Funds Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Public Works/Engineering Implementation Schedule: Possible 5 year schedule Effect on New Buildings: Without additional potable water supplies, substantial growth in Wichita Falls will diminish and it may be that in the future no new buildings will be required. Effect on Existing Buildings: Without adequate potable water supply, businesses and residents will migrate to other locations with better water source. This will cause business locations,warehouses and family dwellings to become vacant and then possibly become dilapidated and a potential loss of revenue to Wichita Falls. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is high but without this and similar projects,the City of Wichita Falls,as it is known today, may not exist. Discussion: This project will be under the supervision of the Public Works/Utilities Department. It is thought that this project can be implemented during the 2016—2018 timeframe. This single project may result in returning to the daily water supply of the City of Wichita Falls of approximately ten (10) million gallons of water to the water supply on a daily basis. While this will not fully correct the current and future water supply issues of Wichita Falls,the project will allow for additional time in which to develop efficient long term solutions. 63 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Objectivejs)Addressed from Section 6.1 1.1,3.1,3.2,3.3, 3.4,5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Drought Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): High Estimated Cost: $25,000.00. Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Grant Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Public Utilities/Planning/Emergency Mgmt Implementation Schedule: Possible 3 year implementation. Effect on New Buildings: This action will not reduce the effects of drought on existing buildings directly but could have an effect on new construction, new development and the economic stability of Wichita Falls. Effect on Existing Buildings: The effect to existing buildings will be minimal; however, the economic impact from drought on businesses and families in this area could be extreme. As citizens migrate out of the area due to drought, many buildings and structures will be vacated and become unusable over time. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing the effects of drought. Discussion: During time of drought, the demand for potable water may exceed the City of Wichita Falls capacity to produce sufficient potable water for domestic, sanitation and fire protection. The drought contingency plan provides the ability to regulate the use of potable water for non-essential uses. Businesses and families do not want to live where there is no water source or no plan to obtain emergency water sources. 64 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 EMIMEMEEiIIINNEEM Objective(s)Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.1,3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 5.4 Hazard(s) Addressed: Drought Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): High Estimated Cost: $50,000.00. Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Grant Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Planning/Emergency Preparedness Office/Public Utilities Implementation Schedule: Possible 5 year implementation. Effect on New Buildings: While this action will not have a direct impact on new buildings,without conservation efforts,there will be no new development if no one moves to the area due to no water source. Effect on Existing Buildings: This action will reduce the effects of drought on existing buildings through increased awareness on water conservation. This action will not have a direct impact on existing buildings in Wichita Falls, but it will have an impact on the businesses and citizens that reside or operate in the buildings. Empty rundown buildings are not good for the economy and unoccupied buildings can become health and safety hazards. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing the effects of drought. Discussion: Water is a staple of survivability. Without water, people will leave, buildings will become empty as businesses and citizens vacate to other regions that have ample supply of water. Conservation brochures can help extend the water supply for now and into the future. Brochures would be developed from information from state agencies by the Emergency Management Office with the assistance of the Planning Office, printed by local printing shops, and distributed to citizens through a mass mailing,they would also be available at public buildings, i.e., Library,fire stations,etc. 65 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Areas Prone to Flooding: East Plum Creek. Objective(s)Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.4, 2.1, 2.2, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Flood Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): Medium Estimated Cost: $3,600,000.00. Potential Funding Sources: General Fund,Storm Water Fund, FEMA Grant Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Public Works/Engineering Implementation Schedule: 2014-2018 Effect on New Buildings: This action will reduce the flooding area in a high traffic area where new buildings and construction are being developed. When this project is completed, more properties will be available for development,without the potential of flooding. Effect on Existing Buildings: This area has numerous businesses and residential properties that are affected by localized flooding in the Plum Creek area. This project will reduce the flooding damage to existing buildings and structures in this area. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is high but the potential benefits will reduce the property damage due to flooding. Discussion: This action would decrease property damage in a high traffic area of the city. The location has businesses as well as residential property. 66 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 ISIMME.E, 51 IM"Objective(s)Addressed from Section 6.1: M 1.4, 2.1, 22 , 5.2, 5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Flood Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): Medium Estimated Cost: $50,000.00. Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Grant Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Public Works/Engineering Implementation Schedule: 2014—2016 implementation time frame Effect on New Buildings: This action will encourage new development of buildings and residential dwellings along the Wichita River. Not only development along the Wichita River, but other areas that could be affected by the blockage by vegetation in the Wichita River area. Effect on Existing Buildings: This action dramatically reduces the effects of flooding on existing structures in the Wichita River area by reducing vegetation and over- growth that could and does cause blockage and backup of flowing river water. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is relatively low compared to the benefits of reducing property damage due to flooding. Discussion: Recent floods(2007-2008)on the Wichita River have reached higher stages compared to historical floods of similar magnitude discharges. A study was undertaken by the USGS in cooperation with the City of Wichita Falls to investigate the causes of reduced channel conveyance in the Wichita River,from Loop 11 downstream to River Road. The study found that increased vegetation was the main cause of the increased flooding. The City of Wichita Falls is currently in the process of testing several methods to remove vegetation in order to implement an on-going removal program. 67 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 ENEEMENMEMEMEEM Objective(s) Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.2,4.2,5.2, 5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Flood Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): Medium Estimated Cost: $1,000,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Grant Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Code Enforcement/Engineering Dept Implementation Schedule: Possibly 5 year implementation. Effect on New Buildings: This mitigation action will not have a direct impact on new construction on new developments, but will have an affect on properties adjacent to construction sites that may be near a flood-prone area. Effect on Existing Buildings: This mitigation action affects existing structures that are currently in the floodplain or possible flooding areas. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this program is high but can save extensive costs associated with recovery of the flooded areas to the City,State and Federal government after a flooding event. Discussion: The removal of structures from flood-prone areas to minimize future flood losses by acquiring and demolishing or relocating structures is a mitigation action the City of Wichita Falls has accomplished in the past. It will continue to be an action as the City continues to demolish and/or relocate structures from voluntary property owners and preserving lands subject to repetitive flooding. 68 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Objectives) Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.2,2.2, 5.1, 5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Tornado, Hail, Severe Wind Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): High Estimated Cost: $3,000,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: FEMA Grant Fund Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Building Inspection Implementation Schedules Possible 5 year implementation Effect on New Buildings: This action will allow developers and builders the opportunity to construct safe rooms at a reduced cost which will afford residents and workers a safe place to go during a tornado. Effect on Existing Buildings: This action will allow existing buildings and dwellings the opportunity to install safe rooms or approved tornado shelters that will save lives due to a tornado. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is relatively high but the benefits would be to potentially reduce the risk of lives lost due to tornados. Discussion: This would be a reimbursement program providing up to$3,000.00 per household to an individual who installs an approved safe room. 60 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Objective(s)Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.1, 1.2, 2.2, 3.2, 5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Tornado Overall Significance Ranking (High, Med, Low): High Estimated Cost: $3,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Fund Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Public Information Office Implementation Schedule: Possible within 5 years. Effect on New Buildings: While this action does not have a direct impact on new construction, it has the potential of keeping developers and contractors aware of building in a tornado prone area. Effect on Existing Buildings: This action will not directly affect the impact of tornados on existing buildings, but on a limited basis, it will increase the awareness of tornados for individuals within the existing buildings. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project would be to reduce the cost of damage and loss of lives and injuries resulting from tornados. Discussion: This program would serve as a reminder to the population on ways in which they can protect their lives and property from tornados. This program will be especially valuable to those members of the community who have recently arrived in Wichita Falls. 70 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 on412, 1.M, 2 4 1M Objective(s)ive(S)MAddressed Mfrom Section 6.1- .2, 5.1,15.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Severe Wind Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): Medium Estimated Cost: $500,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Funds, FEMA Grant, Private Funds Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Public Utilities/Public Works Implementation Schedule: Possible 5 year implementation Effect on New Buildings: This action will reduce the effects of severe wind on new development and on new construction by strengthening power poles that supply electricity to critical locations, businesses and subdivisions. Effect on Existing Buildings: This action will reduce the effects of severe winds on existing buildings by eliminating one of the major causes of power outages. (Downed power lines.) Cost Effectiveness: Cost effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing the effects of severe wind. Discussion: This project would be for the installation of power wraps on power poles servicing critical facilities to decrease the potential power loss from poles breaking during severe wind events. 71 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 MONERNMI Objective(s)Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.1,2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Severe Wind Overall Significance Ranking (High, Med, Low): Medium Estimated Cost: 5,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Grant Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Public Information Office/Emergency Preparedness Office Implementation Schedule: Possible 3 year implementation Effect on New Buildings: The action will reduce the effects of severe windstorms on existing buildings by educating design professionals and architects to include severe wind mitigation actions in building design. Effect on Existing Buildings: This mitigation action will also reduce the effects of severe windstorms on existing buildings by educating homeowners and business owners on the benefits of protecting their properties with wind retrofits such as shutters and high wind straps. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing the effects of severe windstorms Discussion: The program can be developed by the Public Information Office with the assistance of the Emergency Preparedness Office. Besides educating homeowners of severe wind mitigation actions, the City of Wichita Falls will ensure that school officials are aware of the best areas of refuge in school buildings during severe windstorms. The outreach program would include local design professionals to include mitigation ideas during the design of new structures and critical infrastructures. 72 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Objectives)Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.3, 1.4, 2.2, 5.1, 5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Severe Wind Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): Medium Estimated Cost: $500,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Grant Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Emergency Preparedness Implementation Schedule: Possible 5 years. Effect on New Buildings: Building codes and funding could make critical facilities and businesses in the Wichita Falls area place power generation units in new development to ensure the continuity of operations. This would protect not only lives, but would help in new property preservation and stabilize a severe wind event. Effect on Existing Buildings: This action will reduce the effects of power outages on existing buildings and infrastructure by eliminating damage to circuits and equipment from loss of power. Critical infrastructure can be maintained in a working order,even if severe winds cause a power outage. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing the effects of a severe thunderstorm. Discussion: The installation of generators at critical infrastructures would allow for continued operations during power outages which might occur from severe thunderstorms and other related disasters. 73 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 EMEENEMINNINEEM Objective(s)Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.1, 3.1,3.2,3.3, 3.4,5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Hail Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): Medium Estimated Cost: $25,000.00. Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Fund Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Public Works/Building Maintenance Implementation Schedule: Possible next 5 years. Effect on New Buildings: This action will reduce the effects of large, damaging hail on new buildings and critical infrastructure locations by strengthening the roof,which could prevent future damage. Effect on Existing Buildings: This action will reduce the effects of hail on existing buildings through less damage to the structure by large hail and would defray the costs to repair damage to the existing building and content. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing the effects of hail. Discussion: Damage from hail can be underestimated, although not preventable,damage and life safety risks can be addressed with this project. 74 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 ON"Objectives)Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.2,2.2,5.1, 5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Hail Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): Medium Estimated Cost: $10,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Fund Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Emergency Preparedness/Public Information Implementation Schedule: Possible 3 year implementation. Effect on New Buildings: This mitigation action does not have much affect on new buildings, but does have an affect on visitors and developers looking to build in the Wichita Falls area. Effect on Existing Buildings: This action will have some effect on existing buildings by showing school children, business owners,event coordinators the dangers of hail and how to take safety precautions against damaging hail. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing the effects of hail. Discussion:This mitigation action by the City of Wichita Falls will be to conduct outreach activities to increase public awareness of hail dangers. A campaign to advise the public of the dangers of hail and how to take precautions can be sent on monthly water bills. Pamphlets and brochures can be made to teach school children the dangers and precautions of hail in our area. The City is developing warning brochures/posters to show travelers and event promoters to tell patrons of large events in our area of the dangers of hail and the precautions that can be taken to remain safe during hail storms. 75 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Objectives)Addressed from ESection=6.1: 1 M3, 1.4, 2=2, 2-3, 3 3,=42,4.3, 504 Hazard(s)Addressed.- Wildfires Overall Significance Ranking (High, Med, Low): Medium Estimated Cost: $300,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Grant Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Parks/Fire Department/Emergency Management Implementation Schedule: Possible 5 year implementation Effect on New Buildings: Building codes and ordinances would be enacted to provide a framework for builders and contractors to follow when building and developing new areas in and around City grasslands and overgrown areas. This would help protect new buildings by reducing the fuel levels in and around the developed areas, along with utilizing fire resistant landscaping. Effect on Existing Buildings: As like the action for new buildings or structures,this will reduce the effects of wildfire on existing buildings by ensuring the fuel for a wildfire is not near a building. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing affecting the effects of wildfire. Discussion: Wildfire mitigation measures are not widely known in urban areas such as Wichita Falls. Community buy in on this program will make it work. With all the wildfire conditions, citizens are becoming better stewards of their properties and trying to protect their assets from devastating wildfires. 76 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Objective(s)Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.1, 3.1,3.2, 3.3, 3.4,5.4 Hazard(s) Addressed: Wildfires Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): Medium Estimated Cost: $30,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Fund, FEMA Grant.Texas A&M Forest Service Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Fire Department/Emergency Management Implementation Schedule: Possible 5 year implementation Effect on New Buildings: By making developers,contractors and landowners aware of mitigation measures to reduce the effects of wildfire in our community, new constructed businesses, homes and infrastructure can be protected from the dangers of wildfires. Effect on Existing Buildings: The action will reduce the effects wildfire has on existing buildings. This is accomplished through the education of citizens, landowners and businesses on how to protect existing buildings from wildfire through mitigation measures and awareness of the potential of wildfires. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing the effects of wildfire. Discussion: Wildfire mitigation measures are not widely known in urban areas such as Wichita Falls. The annexation of undeveloped land has increased the potential for wildfires for Wichita Falls. Developing a plan of action through working relationships with other agencies to include the Texas A& M Forest Service would decrease the impact wildfires would have on the city through a more aggressive approach to combating wildfires. 77 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 pObjectivoe(s)Addressed from MSection 6 MIR1.3, 1.04, 22, 23,M3.3,14,4.1,4."3, 5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Severe Winter Storm,Severe Wind,Tornado Overall Significance Ranking (High, Med, Low): High Estimated Cost: $125,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Fund Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Planning/Utilities Implementation Schedule: 5 year implementation Effect on New Buildings: By requiring developers and contractors to bury power lines before new construction, buildings and structures would not be affected by downed power lines and poles due to snow and ice accumulation from a severe winter storm. Effect on Existing Buildings: Existing building owners will be encouraged to bury power lines to reduce the chance of losing power due to downed power lines caused by severe winter storms. Cost Effectiveness: Cost Effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing the effects of a severe winter storm. Discussion: This project is to implement city policy/ordinance to require power lines to be buried in new and existing subdivisions. This would alleviate the event of downed power lines due to ice formation during severe winter storms. 78 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 MEM0311111M Objective(s)Addressed from Section 6.1: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3,3.1, 3.2, 5.1, 5.4 Hazard(s)Addressed: Severe Winter Storm Overall Significance Ranking(High, Med, Low): High Estimated Cost: $300,000.00 Potential Funding Sources: General Fund Lead Agency/Responsible Agency: Central Services Implementation Schedule: Possible 5 year implementation Effect on New Buildings: This mitigation action will not have an impact on new construction of new development, but is a life safety measure and could be deployed in new development areas for quick information about severe winter storms. Effect on Existing Buildings: This mitigation action will not have an impact on existing buildings with Wichita Falls, but could give life saving information to travelers in the Wichita Falls area and direct motorists and citizens to existing warming shelters and medical facilities during severe winter storms. Cost Effectiveness: Cost effective. The cost of this project is low compared to the benefits of reducing the effects of a severe winter storm. Discussion: The program will be used to purchase and install permanent information signs to inform travelers of road conditions in other locations so they can make contingency plans. This will prevent travelers from becoming stranded between towns away from shelters. 6.5 Action to Integrate with Other Plans The Mitigation Action Planning Committee reviewed numerous other plans, studies and reports that would have an impact on Hazard Mitigation planning within the City of Wichita Falls. The City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan will correlate and help update and track several of the following plans, reports and studies. These include, but not limited to, the following: • The City of Wichita Falls Emergency Operations Plan, Annex P Hazard Mitigation, revised January 25, 2012 • City of Wichita Falls Emergency Operations Plan, Annex H— Health & Medical Response Plan, Revised 2010 • City of Wichita Falls Emergency Operations Plan, Annex H—Health & Medical Response Plan App 11: COOP Plan, Revised 2010 • Downtown Development Incentives Report, Revised 2010 79 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 • 2005 Thoroughfare Plan • Wichita River Development Master Plan 1979 • Lake Wichita Alive! Report 1994 • Lake Wichita Improvements Study 1991 • City of Wichita Falls Storm Drainage Master Plan, April 2011 The City of Wichita Falls will use the MAP's data, information, goals, objectives and mitigation actions in emergency preparedness plans, training and/or exercises. The responsibility for ensuring that the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan is incorporated into other plans is the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator. This is an ongoing process that is achieved through planned meetings, public hearings and Council workshops. 6.6 Action to Continue Public Involvement Public involvement is the City of Wichita Falls MAP Goal 6.2.3. It is very important to keep the public involved in the mitigation planning process. Therefore, included in the mitigation strategy are actions to continue public participation. Public involvement with the mitigation actions and strategies will be the responsibility of the Public Information Office, with help from the Emergency Preparedness Office. This is an ongoing process to provide citizens and adjacent jurisdictions an opportunity to give feedback and opinion to the City of Wichita Falls mitigation actions and strategies. The methods that will be used to keep the public involved are: ■ Post the Approved Mitigation Action Plan on the City of Wichita Falls Website and invite the public to ask questions about the plan or suggest changes to future revisions of the plan. ■ Post an online Mitigation Survey to allow more citizens the opportunity to give their thoughts and opinions on mitigation strategies and actions. ■ Hold Public Hearings and Town Hall meetings that give citizens the opportunity to discuss mitigation strategies that affect the City of Wichita Falls. ■ Use social media outlets such as FaceBook and Twitter to allow citizens to comment on mitigation projects and actions. 80 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 ■ Emergency Preparedness Staff will discuss mitigation actions with citizens when working at tradeshows, conferences and seminars held within the City of Wichita Falls. Paper surveys will be distributed to allow attending citizens the opportunity to participate in the ongoing mitigation planning process. 6.7 Maintaining the Plan The ongoing review of the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan will evaluate the overall progress of the City's mitigation actions. This review is an important part of the mitigation action planning process and is conducted by the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Planning Committee. To efficiently update and review the MAP, the City of Wichita Falls will monitor the progress, evaluate the progress, and then update the Mitigation Action Plan. These three points are discussed below. • Monitoring Within the course of every five years, City of Wichita Fall's Mitigation Action Planning Committee will undertake formal review and evaluation of the hazard analysis and this MAP to ensure the documents remain current. New mitigation measures will be developed and included in the revised document as necessary. A full, formal review, evaluation, and update process will be initiated in 2018 with any changes needed issued by or before September, 2019. As changes are made to the MAP, the changes will be incorporated into other existing plans and reports. For example, the City of Wichita Falls Emergency Preparedness Coordinator will ensure that any changes made to this MAP are reflected in the City's Emergency Operations Plan. The background information contained in the plan will be updated annually by the City of Wichita Falls in coordination with the Mitigation Action Planning Committee. Any major substantive changes to the MAP will be brought back to the City Council for consideration and formal adoption. A record of changes will be maintained during this process. Again, the City of Wichita Falls is committed to involving the public directly in the implementation and monitoring of this MAP. This MAP, including the Hazard Analysis, will be posted on the City of Wichita Falls website and the public will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the plan on a continuing basis. 81 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 The Mitigation Action Planning Committee developed a procedure for review and updating the plan. Each City Department which has an action item in the plan or is responsible for mitigating disasters will be required to attend meetings for monitoring the plan. The following City Departments will be in attendance: • Emergency Preparedness • Transportation • Planning • Health • Public Works • Building& Code • Fire • Public Information • Police • Engineering/GIS • City Manager's Office This MAP will be reviewed on an annual basis by the above planning committee. The meetings will be held in February of each year and will be scheduled by the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for the City of Wichita Falls. Prior to the meetings, each department within the City of Wichita Falls will obtain reports from the persons who are responsible for the implementation of each action item. Each goal will be reviewed to determine if the action items have been completed or need to be revised. The departments will then review the reports and, if necessary, suggest revisions and justifications for the revisions to the plan. • Evaluating The mitigation actions will be evaluated by each City department at the first of each year. After notification from the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, each City department will determine if any of their actions are still viable or need to be revised. Actions could be removed if they have been accomplished or are no longer viable for inclusion in the MAP. If actions are accomplished by other means other than those noted in the plan, this will also need to be documented in the plan. After the evaluation of the MAP, the City of Wichita Falls Planning Department will meet at the direction of the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator to update the MAP. • Updating The Mitigation Action Plan will be reviewed and evaluated annually and updated if revisions are needed. The MAP will be formally updated every five years to include new hazards and new mitigation actions. The plan will be updated on the disposition of existing mitigation actions to see if they are still viable and if they need to stay in the plan or be removed. 82 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 Revisions will then be forwarded to the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator to update the plan. The plan revisions will be completed within two months and the updated plan will be returned to each City Department for their review. Once all City Departments have a chance to review the updated plan, the updated MAP will be sent to the Texas Division of Emergency Management Mitigation Office for review. A formal revision of the City of Wichita Falls Mitigation Action Plan will be done at the five year mark if no updates have been made before that time. The City Manager and Wichita Falls elected officials will be responsible for coordinating the implementation of actions identified in the" and undertaking other activities to reduce vulnerability and risks within the City of Wichita Falls. 83 City of Wichita Falls,Texas Mitigation Action Plan 2014 7.0 SOURCES OF INFORMATION FOR THE CITY OF WICMTA FALLS TIGATION ACTION PLAN 2014 Accuweather.com, 2011 www.accuweather.com Albert H.
