BACKGROUND: Historically, the City of Fayetteville has participated in the development and has adopted the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). The intent of the plan is to protect the health, safety and economic interests of Washington County residents by reducing the risk of natural hazards. The plan provides a foundation for hazard mitigation activities within the municipalities of Washington County. DISCUSSION: The most recent update to the Washington County HMP has been reviewed and approved by FEMA. It is now ready for adoption by the participating communities in order to be officially recognized. This will allow municipalities to both prepare for hazards and be eligible for many of the federal funding mechanisms to implement the strategies defined in the plan as well as recover from disasters should they occur. The stated goals of the plan include: • Saving lives and protecting property • Reducing vulnerability to future hazardous events • Facilitating post -disaster funding for mitigation assistance • Speeding the recovery process after a disaster • Improving long-term community health • Involving the public in decision -making, and • Demonstrating community support for emergency management and hazard mitigation The HMP includes topics such as dam failure, drought, earthquake, extreme temperatures, flood, pandemic, severe storms, tornadoes, wildfires and winter storms as well as mitigation strategies to deal with these events. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: No impact to the budget is anticipated. Mailing address: 113 W.

The plan provides a path toward continuous, proactive identification, and reduction of vulnerability to the most frequent hazards that result in repetitive and often severe social, economic, and physical damage. This plan provides a foundation for hazard mitigation activities within the municipalities of Washington County. This WCHMP is also established to fulfill federal, state, and local hazard mitigation planning requirements. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), Section 322 (a-d) in accordance with 44 CFR 201.6 requires local governments to have an approved local mitigation plan as a condition of receiving future federal disaster mitigation funds. The Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan has been updated in its entirety as of 11/05/2023. In the past, federal legislation has provided funding for disaster relief, recovery, and some hazard mitigation planning. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) is the latest legislation to improve this planning process. DMA 2000 amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act by repealing the previous Mitigation Planning section (409) and replacing it with a new Mitigation Planning section (322). This new section emphasizes the need for State, Tribal, and Local entities to closely coordinate mitigation planning and implementation efforts. The new legislation reinforces the importance of mitigation planning and emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur. As such, this Act establishes a pre -disaster hazard mitigation program and new requirements for the national post -disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). It also requires that communities must have an approved hazard mitigation plan to receive assistance through the Stafford Act, excluding assistance provided pursuant to emergency provisions. Development and implementation of the Plan has been and will be directed by the WCHMP Steering Committee, composed of the Executive Board of the Washington County Emergency Services Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). The Steering Committee has appointed a Planning Committee, composed of representatives of the municipalities and other stakeholders, to oversee formulation and maintenance of the WCHMP, and to coordinate action items between the involved municipalities. Washington County Office of Emergency Management (WCOEM) is the agency tasked with supporting the Planning Committee in developing and maintaining the WCHMP. Implementing this plan provides several benefits to Washington County, its residents, and communities, including: • Saving lives and protecting property • Reducing vulnerability to future hazardous events • Facilitating post -disaster funding for mitigation assistance • Speeding the recovery process after a disaster • Improving long-term community health • Involving the public in decision -making, and • Demonstrating community support for emergency management and hazard mitigation. Page 13 The Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan is being developed to assess the ongoing all- hazard mitigation activities in Washington County, to evaluate additional mitigation measures that should be undertaken, and to outline a strategy for implementation of mitigation projects. This plan is multi jurisdictional; the planning area comprises all of unincorporated Washington County, Cities of Elkins, Elm Springs, Farmington, Fayetteville, Goshen, Greenland, Johnson, Lincoln, Prairie Grove, Springdale, Tontitown, West Fork and Winslow, Washington County School Districts — Elkins, Farmington, Fayetteville, Greenland, Lincoln, Prairie Grove, Springdale, West Fork, and the University of Arkansas. A map showing the locations of each of these jurisdictions within Washington County is in the Maps section of this report. Formal adoption and implementation of a hazard mitigation plan presents many benefits to Washington County and its residents. By identifying problems and possible solutions in advance of a disaster, Washington County and participating communities and school districts will be in a better position to obtain pre- and post -disaster funding. Specifically, the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 establishes a pre -disaster hazard mitigation program and new requirements for the national post -disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). It requires that states and communities have a FEMA approved hazard mitigation plan in place prior to receiving post disaster HMGP funds. Adoption of this hazard mitigation strategy will also increase Washington County's eligibility for assistance from FEMA's Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program. Washington County and participating communities will also gain additional credit points under FEMA's Community Rating System (CRS) program, which provides discounts on National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood insurance premiums for residents of communities that voluntarily participate in this program. Most importantly, Washington County will be able to recover faster and more wisely from a disaster. Through planning and acting on local mitigation strategies, the city will reduce vulnerability to disasters and identify opportunities for mitigation. In addition, the communities may meet comprehensive planning and other planning requirements and achieve community goals. Page 14 Purpose and Authority The purpose of the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan is to provide guidance for hazard mitigation activities in Washington County. The Washington County Office of Emergency Management has the responsibility to coordinate all local activities relating to hazard evaluation and mitigation and to prepare and submit to FEMA a Local Mitigation Plan following the criteria established in 44 CFR 201.4 and Section 322 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390). The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 became law on October 30, 2000, and amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (the "Stafford Act") (Public Law 93- 288, as amended). Regulations for this activity can be found in Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 206, Subpart M. This plan meets requirements for a local mitigation plan under Interim Final Rule 44 CFR 201.4, published in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on February 28, 2002. Meeting the requirements of the regulations cited above keeps Washington County qualified to obtain all disaster assistance including hazard mitigation grants available through the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, P.L. 93-288, as amended.

Census of Population documented 245,866 persons. The county is part of the economically healthy and expanding Fayetteville, Rogers, and Springdale metropolitan areas, which consists of the three counties of Benton, Washington, and Madison counties in Arkansas. For 2020, the metro area's population was 574,301 residents. Between 2010 and 2020, Washington County added 42,801 new residents, a 21% increase. Growth at this rate translates to approximately 4,280 new residents annually, which is expected to continue. Most of the increase in population is occurring in and near the cities in the north central part of the county. The most dramatic percentage changes are found in some of the small communities which include Elm Springs, Goshen, and Prairie Grove; with Goshen reporting the greatest population increase of over 97 percent. The following is a table showing 2010 and 2020 population figures and percent of change from 2010-2020 for the entire county and for each of the thirteen incorporated places in the county.

The "Business of Doing Business" is a positive force on this economy. Bentonville is the home office of Wal-Mart, one of the country's largest retailers. The U.S. 540 corridor of Benton and Washington Counties serve as the home of the Tyson's Foods Corporation, George's Inc., and Simmons Foods Corporation which all represent major players in the poultry industry. In addition, J.B. Hunt Trucking, Cannon Express, and Willis Shaw all call Northwest Arkansas their home. The agriculture industry is growing in Northwest Arkansas, especially in the area of poultry production and processing. The nation's largest producer of processed poultry, Tyson Foods, has its corporate headquarters in Washington County. Tyson foods acquired the sixth largest processor of poultry Hudson Foods. Peterson Industries and Cobb-Vantress, the nation's leaders in the production of breeder stock for the poultry industry, are headquartered in Benton County. During the past year, these firms have contributed significantly to the creation of new economic and job opportunities in Benton, Boone, Carroll, Madison, and most importantly, Washington County. Page 111 Future Development The region has the potential for the creation of economic growth through the implementation of value-added manufacturing which utilizes the district's natural resources of agriculture land and forest products. A good example is the further processing of poultry, which creates new job opportunities for our citizens, as the region has become a leading supplier of poultry to the fast-food industry. Universities are key components of the most comprehensive and successful economic development strategies. Studies nationwide reveal that research firms desiring to develop relationships with universities often want to be located at or near the campus to create synergies, improve collaboration and provide direct access to facilities and faculty. The University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, the land-grant institution of higher education in the state, is in Washington County. The physics department at the university is recognized for its leadership in numerous research endeavors. The utilization of the resources of this institution has great potential for the economic development of the region around implementing the industrial production of products generated from the research laboratories of the university. John Brown University is located only 26 miles from Fayetteville in the Benton County community of Siloam Springs. A smaller liberal arts college, best known for their masters' degree program in business. This program has been well received by the businesses in the Fayetteville -Springdale- Rogers Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). This program makes it possible for working individuals to attain a master's degree in business by attending night classes.

The updating process began with confirming that the jurisdictions in the plan were remaining in the updated plan. Each mayor and superintendent were sent an email about the updating process and the initial kick-off meeting that was held via Zoom on January 24th, 2023. From the planning meeting, an updating committee was selected to approve the changes made to the mitigation plan. The mitigation update process followed the following timeline: 1/16/2022 Email to LEPC Committee and jurisdictions requesting distribution of survey for community feedback (email follows) 1/24/2023 Zoom LEPC meeting (documents follow) Started online survey -link on Washington County website 4/18/2023 Planning Meeting in Fayetteville Continue with online survey (documents follow) 8/30/2023 Phone calls to all jurisdictions 10/04/2023 Emailed all jurisdictions confirming mitigation strategies *The following documents from our planning meetings show that we have included agencies that provide services to our underserved community members as well as our youth and senior citizen population. The feedback and participation of these agencies were fundamental in developing the update for the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Once this plan is in place and adopted it makes your community eligible for additional federal funding to help mitigate drainage and/or flooding problems, build community saferooms and other mitigation projects This funding is typically a 75% federal grant with a 2S% community match Now that the funding is in place to develop the plan, I am and will be reaching out to each community to acquire specific data about each individual community in Washington County. As the plan is being developed there will be information and some activities that will need to be completed to incorporate into the plan One of the critical components of the plan is to acquire community input regarding the harards that effect each jurisdiction and any concerns that they as citizens may have. I am attaching a copy of a survey form that can be copied 1 cut in halt it is a half page document) and distributed in any way that works for your community. I am also including a link to an online survey (same as the attached onel for you to place on your communities website_ https://forms-ofice.com/r/SKZmmAp6gQ 1 am also attaching the link to an online survey for the Mayor to complete regarding the assets that your community has m place h_ ttpsj/f irm%,office.com`r/mG6fgHGuSp please fill this survey out for me so that 1 can get this information incorporated into the draft of the plan At some point in the hopefully near future I would like to have an in person meeting in Washington County for planning purposes. Also if there is someone in your community that you would like to have involved in this plan development, i please send me their contact information so that I may add them to this list, Thank you and I look forward to meeting everyone and reconnecting with the folks that t have worked with in the past to begin developing an effective and beneficial hazard mitigation plan for Washington County Tina M Cole Community and Economv- Development Coordinator NWAEDD P O Box 190 Page 116 1-24-2023 ZOOM LEPC Meeting Invitation plennSn rn et+ing w1 LE I?

Surveys were posted on NWAEDD social media outlets, Washington County Emergency Management website. Surveys online were critical components of getting feedback due to still being in the COVID guidelines for in person meetings. Public Feedback Survey results and feedback from the public at meetings were used to identify what hazards should remain in the plan or be taken out. Feedback from the public was also used to determine each jurisdiction's problem statements and potential mitigation actions.

The Arkansas State Hazard Mitigation Plan was reviewed to identify hazards that pose a threat to the state. Local comprehensive plans and emergency response plans were reviewed to identify if and how they addressed hazards. Each jurisdictions' website was used to gather information about community assets. Reports from the National Climate Data Center and U.S. Geological Survey were used to identify past occurrences for the hazards. Each jurisdiction's website was used to gather information about community assets. Information from FEMA's Community Status Book Report was used to identify jurisdictions' participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. Reports were also obtained from the State National Flood Insurance Program Coordinator regarding community policies and total coverage. Continuing Public Participation Washington County is dedicated to involving the public directly in the continual reshaping and updating of the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan. The public will be able to directly comment on and provide feedback about the plan. Copies of the plan will be catalogued and kept on hand at Cities of Elkins, Elm Springs, Farmington, Fayetteville, Goshen, Greenland, Johnson, Lincoln, Prairie Grove, Springdale, Tontitown, West Fork and Winslow, Washington County School Districts — Elkins, Farmington, Fayetteville, Greenland, Lincoln, Prairie Grove, Springdale, and West Fork, and all of the public libraries in Washington County. Contained in the plan are the address, phone number, and email of the Director of the Washington County Office of Emergency Management, the primary point of contact for the plan. Copies of the plan will be kept at the Washington County Courthouse and University of Arkansas. A public announcement inviting all interested parties will be made prior to each LEPC meeting during which the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee reviews and evaluates the plan in its entirety. This meeting will provide the public with a forum for which the general public can express concerns, opinions, or ideas about the plan. The Washington County Office of Emergency Management and the Washington County LEPC will publicize and host this meeting. Following the meeting, the Washington County Office of Emergency Management will review the comments and make changes to the plan, as appropriate. Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating the Plan Washington County has developed a method to ensure that monitoring, evaluation, and as needed updating of the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan occurs annually and a five year re-evaluation meeting occurs every 5 years. The County will form a Hazard Mitigation Plan Evaluation Committee of the existing Washington County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). The LEPC consists of members from fire service, health officials, emergency management, law enforcement, community groups, transportation, hospital personnel, and emergency medical personnel, elected officials, and owners and operators of covered facilities. The Director of the Washington County Office of Emergency Management will be the initial Chair of the committee or Planning Team Leader. The Planning Team Leader will be responsible for leading these efforts by contacting the planning team committee, setting meeting dates, and ensuring that each jurisdiction will sustain a representative on the team. Page137 Annual Review Meeting During the annual Hazard Mitigation Plan review meeting, committee will meet to ensure the following: • Update the plan of any events that occurred in the past year • Review hazard profiles and discuss major changes that have altered vulnerability of each jurisdiction • A representative for each participating jurisdiction will report any change/status of any mitigation actions • Mitigation actions will be evaluated to determine the effectiveness of each implemented strategy • Mitigation strategy tables will be updated accordingly The Washington County Office of Emergency Management will then have three months to update and make changes to the plan before submitting it to the committee members and the State Hazard Mitigation Officer. All meeting minutes, press releases, and other documentation of revisions should be kept on record by the Washington County Department of Emergency Management. 5 year Re-evaluation Meeting During the 5-year re-evaluation meeting, the committee will meet to ensure that all topics in the annual meeting are covered, as well as the following: • Update demographic data • Address new planning documents, ordinances, and codes that were put in place • Update risk analysis and incorporate new development • Add new mitigation strategies • Discuss and include any priority changes in mitigation strategies • Add conditions that may affect the risks and vulnerabilities of populations such as increase of population or climate variability. The Washington County Office of Emergency Management will then update and make changes to the plan before submitting it to the committee members and the State Hazard Mitigation Officer. All meeting minutes, press releases, and other documentation of revisions should be kept on record by the Washington County Department of Emergency Management. After any revisions necessary Washington County will submit the Hazard mitigation plan to ADEM and FEMA for review and approval. If no changes are necessary, the State Hazard Mitigation Officer will be given justification for this determination. Page138 In this section: Section 3 RISK ASSESSMENT Risk Assessment and Hazard Identification Description Community Assets and Critical Infrastructure Definitions for Classifications Hazard Profiles & Vulnerability Assessments • Dam Failure • Drought • Earthquake • Extreme Temperatures • Flood • Pandemic • Severe Storms to include thunderstorms, lightening and hail • Tornado; high winds • Wildfire • Winter Storms Page139 Risk Assessment Risk Assessment, as defined by FEMA, is the process of measuring the potential loss of life, personal injury, economic injury, and property damage resulting from hazards by assessing the vulnerability of people, buildings, and infrastructure to natural hazards. Risk assessment provides the foundation for the rest of the mitigation planning process. The risk assessment process focuses attention on areas most in need by evaluating which populations and facilities are most vulnerable to all hazards and to what extent injuries and damage may occur. It tells you: • The hazards to which your state or community is susceptible; • What these hazards can do to physical, social, and economic assets; • Which areas are most vulnerable to damage from these hazards; and • The cost of damages or costs avoided which results from future mitigation projects. In addition to mitigation planning, risk assessment information also allows emergency management personnel to establish early response priorities by identifying potential hazards and vulnerable assets. Hazard Identification Hazard Identification, the process of identifying hazards that threaten a given area, is the first step in the risk assessment process. Washington County identified several hazards that, because they pose a significant risk to Washington County and its residents, warranted a complete profile in this hazard mitigation plan. These hazards were identified through an extensive process that utilized input from planning team members, research of newspapers and other historical records, review of existing plans and reports, discussions with hazard experts, Internet research, the State Mitigation Plan, NOAA severe storm database, and information provided by FEMA and ADEM. The following hazards are assessed in the following parts of this plan: • Dam Failure • Drought • Earthquake • Extreme Temperatures • Floods • Pandemic • Severe Storms (to include thunderstorms, lightening and hail) • Tornado; High Winds • Wildfire • Winter Storms Previous hazards that were omitted from this plan update because, as decided by the planning team, they are not natural hazards or no longer pose a threat to Washington County include: soil expansion, cyber, terrorism, HazMat, and utility failure.

Maximum Probable Extent (Magnitude/ Strength based on historic events or future probability) • Weak: Limited classification on scientific scale resulting in little to no damage • Moderate: Moderate classification on scientific scale resulting in some damage and loss of services for days • Severe: Severe classification on scientific scale resulting in devastating damage and loss of services for weeks or months • Extreme: Extreme classification on scientific scale resulting in catastrophic damage and uninhabitable conditions The following chart depicts how the extent of select hazards can be classified as weak, moderate, severe, or extreme. Hazard Scale/ Index Weak Moderate Severe Extreme Hail Hail Conservation 0.25 to 1.00 to 2.00 to 4.00 and Chart 0.88 1.75 3.00 reater Thunderstorm Wind & Beaufort Wind 1-10 11 12 12 High Wind Scale Tornado Enhanced Fujita EFO EF1, EF2 EF3 EF4, EF5 Scale Drought Palmer Drought -1.0 to - -2.0 to -2.9 -3.0 to - -4.0 and ndex 1.9 3.9 below Modified Mercalli I to IV V to VII Vill IX to XII Earthquake Scale Richter Scale 12,3 4,5 6 7,8 Profiling Hazards The following is a detailed assessment of the risks associated with each of the hazards which could potentially affect the planning area. Included in each of the hazards' profiles is information on the extent and magnitude of the hazards, previous occurrences of hazard events, and the probability of future events. Risk and vulnerability assessments for each identified hazard can also be found in this section. Hazards that were found to be reported by jurisdiction have been analyzed by their past occurrences, vulnerabilities, and risk specific to that jurisdiction. Other hazards reported only county -wide are given a general analysis using county data. Page151 Climate change in Washington County, Arkansas: B1-e: Probability: According to available data for climate change indicators, Washington County and all its jurisdictions indicate that there is a low to moderate risk of additional or increased impacts to these areas in this plan. The hazards with indicators are Drought, Extreme Temperatures, Flood and Wildfires. The dam failure, severe storms, tornados, and winter storm hazards do not have current data for Washington County to be able to determine if there is a probability of an increase in impact for Washington County and its jurisdictions. The earthquake and pandemic hazards are not affected by climate change. B2-b: People: Although northwest Arkansas has seen a tremendous population growth in the last ten years, Washington County has shown only a 21% increase in population growth. The cities of Goshen (97% growth), Elm Springs (90% growth) and Prairie Grove (61 % growth) show the largest population growth, but these communities and the rest of Washington County have implemented better planning and zoning controls that will benefit from any risks of future climate change levels. Land Use Development: Along with population growth comes land use development to accommodate this growth and it is no different in Washington County. Washington County and its jurisdictions are working with their planning and zoning commissions to adapt and plan to reduce or eliminate any potential increased impacts from climate change. Even though the risk is low to moderate for Washington County and all of its jurisdictions, there is no indication that there will be any additional or any increased impacts to the probability, population growth or land use development in Washington County at this time, this will be addressed again in the next 5 year plan update. Page152 Dam Failure Hazard Profile A dam is typically constructed of earth, rock, and/or concrete and is used for the purpose of storage, diversion, and control and water within a waterway. These man-made barriers that make up the dam work to impound water in the upstream area of a water way, referred to a reservoir. When a dam fails it sends uncontrolled amounts of impounded water or waste downstream, causing flooding. A dam failure occurs from a catastrophic collapse, overtopping of the dam, or breach. Most dam failures occur when a spillways capacity is exceeded and the water overtops the dam, or when a dam is poorly constructed and cannot support the excessive flowing water in the reservoir. When a dam is breached it causes a high velocity of water to rush downstream which will damage or destroy everything in its path. Extent To appropriately define the spatial extent of probable flood inundation areas for the entire planning area would entail a comprehensive engineering study. Therefore, attempts at obtaining said information were unsuccessful, due to issues of information being classified. Solutions to this dilemma will be addressed in the mitigation section of this document. Past Dam Failure Occurrences Since 2000, Washington County has not experienced any dam failures. Because dam failure occurrences are reported at the county level, only information reported to the county will be used. Future Probability The historic frequency calculates that the chance of a dam failure occurring in Washington County is unlikely, being that no dam failures have occurred in the past and that there is less than 1% probability of occurrence in the next year or reoccurring interval greater than every 100 years. Locations The jurisdictions of Unincorporated Washington County, Elm Springs, Fayetteville, Johnson, Lincoln, Prairie Grove, and Springdale have an equal susceptibility to dam failure due to the 23 dams located in Washington County. We are unable to address the inundation areas for Washington County at this time due to a data deficiency of inundation mapping for the dam failure risk but will be incorporating this deficiency into our mitigation strategy for these locations. The school districts of Lincoln, Fayetteville, Prairie Grove, and Springdale stated that they are not susceptible to dam failure due to their proximity and dam size. Elkins, the Elkins School District, Farmington, the Farmington School District, Goshen, Greenland, the Greenland School District, Tontitown, West Fork, the West Fork School District, Winslow, and the University of Arkansas are not susceptible to dam failure. The following section will describe how all susceptible jurisdictions can be affected.

Dam failure can result in the damaging or destruction of crops, livestock, structures, infrastructure, bodily harm, and death. Health and Safety: When dam failure occurs other flooding also occurs. This brings the potential of disease, injury, and death. There have been no dam failure related deaths reported in all of Washington County. Building and Infrastructure: Dam failure has the potential to impact the community and its critical assets. Damage or destruction to structures and infrastructure is a potential effect of dam failure. The sudden displacement of water has the potential to damage or destroy anything in its path. Additional Impact: Dam failures have the potential to impact the economic wellbeing of businesses, first responding resources, and utility personnel. First responders have the possibility of responding to flooded roadways and structures that may produce the need for rescue and may require long hours and overtime pay. They may also contend with evacuations of special populations such as the elderly, nursing homes, and people with disabilities. Schools have the risk of being damaged or destroyed, causing children and employees to stay home from school resulting in a loss of income and revenue. With the children being forced to stay home parents would have to take off themselves or seek additional childcare. Homes may be damaged or destroyed, forcing search and rescue teams to work overtime. These families may be forced to pay for hotels or to stay with family and friends, which can affect incomes for both parties. Historical sites may be damaged or destroyed. Businesses may be without power and other utilities which can interrupt economic flow. Utility personnel may be called out to contend with power outages, downed utility poles, and be forced to pay personnel for overtime hours. Jurisdictions may need to utilize resources from neighboring jurisdictions, depending on their capabilities. Over a 10-year period, Unincorporated Washington County and the participating jurisdiction have not experienced a high value loss but are not immune to the possibility of a dam failure event having a great impact in the future. Dam Failure Vulnerabilitv Analvsis The school districts of Farmington, Lincoln, Prairie Grove, Elkins, West Fork, Fayetteville, and Greenland are not located in areas near dams and are not susceptible to dam breach hazards. The Springdale school district would have a deficiency of water in the event of a dam failure because their source of water is received from Beaver Lake. They would not be susceptible to property or infrastructure damage. The cities of Farmington, Tontitown, West Fork, Elkins, Greenland, Goshen, Winslow, and the University of Arkansas are not susceptible to dam failure due to their proximity to a dam. The city of Lincoln has earthen dams. The failure of these dams would flood significant areas of Rhea's Mill. In the event of the Lake Fayetteville dam failure, drainage system congestion, flooding, transportation restrictions, and life safety dangers would occur in the city of Johnson. The Prairie Grove Lake Dam needs to meet the high hazard classification and needs extensive improvement to meet the standard. The city of Springdale, Elm Springs, and the unincorporated areas of Washington County rely on Beaver Lake for water supply. Failure of the Beaver Lake dam could impose a water deficiency and effect over 50,000 people. There are several homes that could be flooded and destroyed, including loss of life in the event of a Fayetteville dam failure in the city of Fayetteville. There are 22 dams in the unincorporated areas of Washington County that could cause severe flooding and interfere with transportation routes. Dam Failure Probabilitv Analvsis Based on the current data available for dams in Washington County, 5 are classified as high hazard, 7 are classified as a significant hazard and 11 are classified as low hazard. The projected climate change data for precipitation that would affect the dams indicates a low to moderate probability of increased risk from flooding, drought indicators also show as low to moderate probability of increased risk from hazards that would affect the dams in Washington County. Page154 * The following information for dams is part of revision request. The following spreadsheets show the location with mapped pictures and latitude and longitude coordinates along with risk indicators, there were no inundation maps for individual dams available. Some of the dams are included in the Washington County flood maps showing potential flood zones.

Droughts can be categorized by one of four types: 1) meteorological drought, 2) hydrological drought, 3) agricultural drought, and 4) socioeconomic drought. Meteorological drought occurs when dry weather patterns dominate an area. Meteorological drought can occur suddenly and end quickly, while hydrological drought requires more time to develop and then recover. Hydrological drought occurs when water supplies are low, especially in streams, reservoirs, and groundwater levels, primarily after several months of meteorological drought. Agricultural drought occurs when crops are affected. Socioeconomic drought deals with the supply and demand of different commodities to drought. The Drought Monitor summary map classifies drought areas by categorizing droughts by the level of intensity. DO represents areas that are abnormally dry that will potentially result in a drought or are drought areas recovering from previous drought conditions. D1 is the least intense category of drought, whereas D4 is the most severe. This scale demonstrates the possible range of drought for the jurisdictions within the municipalities of Washington County.

Page 162 Past Drought Occurrences Since 2000, Washington County has had 33 drought occurrences. These events have not resulted in any crop or property damage, nor taken the life of anyone. Because drought occurrences are reported at the county level, only information reported by the county will be used. Storm Events Database Search Results for Washington County, Arkansas Event Types: Drought Washington county contains the following zones: Washington 33 events were reported between 01 /01 /2000 and 06/30/2023 (8582 days) Summary Info: Number of County/Zone areas affected: 1 Number of Days with Event: 33 Number of Days with Event and Death: 0 Number of Days with Event and Death or Injury: 0 Number of Days with Event and Property Damage: 0 Number of Days with Event and Crop Damage: 0 Number of Event Types reported: 1 Future Probability The historic frequency calculates that there is over 100% chance of a drought occurring in Washington County every 0.7 years. Based on the current data available for droughts in Washington County, the projected climate change data for droughts indicates a low to moderate probability of increased risk from drought. The included climate change data graphic on shows a low to moderate probability of increased risk from a drought hazard that would affect the jurisdictions in Washington County. Locations Each jurisdiction in Washington County has an equal susceptibility to drought conditions. Therefore, drought conditions are reported county wide and not at the individual jurisdictional level. The following section will describe how all jurisdictions can be affected.

Drought has the potential to impact crops, livestock, health, and can create possibilities for wildfire. Health and Safety: Drought has the potential of bodily harm and death. Viruses, protozoa, and bacteria can contaminate both groundwater and surface water when rainfall decreases. People who obtain their drinking water from private wells may be at higher risk for infectious disease that can be linked to drought. E. coli and Salmonella are bacteria that can contaminate food and cause infectious disease during a drought. Food is a method for disease transmission when drought occurs because water shortages can force farmers to use recycled water to irrigate their fields and process the food they grow. It is possible that surface runoff can cause the inadvertent contamination of crops, due to the rain water's inability to penetrate the dry and compacted soil that occurs with drought. Additional Impact: Droughts have the potential to impact the economic wellbeing of businesses, first responding resources, and utility personnel. First responders have the possibility of responding to wildfires that may result from dry drought conditions and can produce a need for rescue which may require long hours and overtime pay. They may also contend with evacuations of special populations such as elderly, nursing homes, and people with disabilities. Businesses may be without power and other utilities which can interrupt economic flow. Businesses may suffer from the loss of inventory due to the impact on agriculture. Utility personnel may be called out to contend with power outages and be forced to pay personnel for overtime hours. Jurisdictions may need to utilize resources from neighboring jurisdictions, depending on their capabilities. Over a 23-year period, Washington County has experienced no valued loss, but has the potential to experience a great loss in the future Drought Vulnerability Analysis Farmington school district does not currently have education about grazing and crop rotation. The Farmington school district, Springdale school district, the Fayetteville school district, the Greenland school district, and Elkins school district do not have an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for drought. The Springdale school district has a sizable agriculture department that would suffer from the event of a drought. The landscaping, including athletic fields, of the Springdale school district, Lincoln school district, and Prairie Grove school district would suffer if water had to be rationed. The West Fork school district would suffer from critical water shortages, leading to the need for water conservation training. The city of Lincoln, Winslow, Johnson, Greenland, West Fork, and the unincorporated areas of Washington County face a high potential for a decline in water supply for combating events of woodland wildfires and structural fires. The city of Johnson and the unincorporated areas of Washington County have the potential to suffer from vegetation loss and destruction. The city of Goshen is dependent on Fayetteville's city water, causing an increased risk of water supply deficiency. Extreme drought could lead to water shortages in the city of Fayetteville. There is a potential for a diminishing supply of potable water in the city of Greenland and the city of Tontitown, in the event of a drought. The city of Elkins has an insufficient water reserve; they depend solely on Fayetteville's water supply, with only one water line that enters the city of Elkins. An extended drought in the city of Prairie Grove can lead to diminished water supplies and create water demand more than treatment capabilities. The cities of Springdale, Tontitown, Farmington, and Elm Springs lack understanding and awareness of the impact of a drought on the city. In the city of Elm Springs, there is currently no protocols in place for water restrictions, in the event of a drought. The city of Farmington has water limitations, because they get their supply from the city of Fayetteville and the Washington County water authority. The research and educational activities will be affected during the event of drought at the University of Arkansas. The university is susceptible to loss of animals and vegetation. All participating jurisdictions are susceptible to damage or destruction to crops and livestock. With crops and grass dying, famers will be forced to provide livestock that rely on grazing with other means of food. Lakes, ponds, and streams may also dry up or water levels could potentially become contaminated adding additional risk to livestock. Farmers residing within the planning area may also suffer economic loss due to drought conditions.

These vibrations that travel through Earth's surface are known as seismic waves. An earthquake originates because of a rupture, slippage, or movement of rocks along a fault line. When this movement occurs along the fault it causes seismic waves to radiate in all directions. Seismic waves are recorded on an instrument referred to as a seismograph. Seismographs record a zig-zag line that demonstrates the varying amplitudes of the vibrations in Earth's surface beneath the instrument. The severity of an earthquake is expressed in magnitude and intensity. Magnitude is related to the amount of seismic energy at the epicenter of the earthquake. The effect the earthquake has on Earth's surface is referred to as the intensity. Currently the Modified Mercalli (MM) intensity scale is used to express how the earthquake was observed by people, buildings, and natural features. The intensity varies from place to place depending on the location of the observer in respect to the epicenter. The Richter Magnitude Scale is used to determine the amplitude of the earthquake at the epicenter. This scale is used to categorize earthquakes for reporting processes. The MM scale is used to see how far the earthquake's intensity was felt and how it affected people in all directions. Although earthquakes have only one magnitude, they have variable intensities that generally decrease with increasing distance from the epicenter. This following scale demonstrates the possible range of earthquake intensity for the jurisdictions within the municipalities of Washington County. Modified Damage Description Mercalli Intensity I Not felt except by a very few under especially favorable conditions II Felt only by a few persons at rest, especially on upper floors of buildings III Felt quite noticeably by people indoors, especially on upper floors of buildings. Many people do not recognize it as an earthquake. Standing motor cars may rock slightly. Vibrations similar to the passing of a truck. Duration estimated.

Page 166 Extent All participating jurisdictions within Washington County can experience any category within the Mercalli scale above. Past Earthquake Occurrences Since 1931, Washington County has not experienced any earthquake events. Because earthquake occurrences are reported at the county level, only information reported the county will be used. Future Probability The historic frequency calculates that the chance of an earthquake occurring in Washington County is unlikely, being that no earthquakes have occurred in the past and that there is less than 1% probability of occurrence in the next year or reoccurring interval greater than every 100 years. The USGS database shows that there is a 0.37% chance of a major earthquake within 50km of Washington County, AR within the next 50 years. Risk Level: Very Low Total Number of Earthquakes in Washington County since 1931- 0 Probability of A 5.0 Earthquake within next 50 years- 0.37% Locations Each jurisdiction in Washington County has an equal susceptibility to seismic activity. Therefore, earthquake data is reported county wide and not at the individual jurisdictional level. The following section will describe how all jurisdictions could be affected.

Earthquakes have the potential to impact structure, infrastructure, health, and safety. Earthquakes also can result in cascading effects. Health and Safety: An earthquake has the potential to cause injury or death. Most deaths associated with earthquakes are caused by falling debris or entire structures collapsing on top of them. Earthquakes have the potential to cause landslides which could also result in injury or death. Building and Infrastructure: Earthquakes have the potential to impact a community and its critical assets. Earthquakes have the potential to damage structures and infrastructure. Earthquakes have the potential to cause landslides and liquefaction of soil which could result in damage or destruction to structures and infrastructure. Additional Impact: Earthquakes have the potential to impact the economic wellbeing of businesses, first responding resources, and utility personnel. First responders have the possibility of responding to damaged structures and roadways that may produce the need for search and rescue and may also require long hours and overtime pay. They may also contend with evacuations of special populations such as elderly, nursing homes, and people with disabilities. Schools have the risk of being damaged or destroyed, causing children and employees to stay home from school resulting in a loss of income and revenue. With the children being forced to stay home parents would have to take off themselves or seek additional childcare. Homes may be damaged or destroyed, forcing search and rescue teams to work overtime. These families may be forced to pay for hotels or to stay with family and friends, which can affect incomes for both parties. Historical sites may be damaged or destroyed. Businesses may be without power and other utilities which can interrupt economic flow. Utility personnel may be called out to contend with power outages, downed utility poles, and be forced to pay personnel for overtime hours. Jurisdictions may need to utilize resources from neighboring jurisdictions, depending on their capabilities. Since 1931, Washington County has experienced no value loss as a result of an earthquake but has the potential to experience a great loss in the future. Earthquake Vulnerabilitv Analvsis A major earthquake could cause disruption of utilities, gas leaks and explosions, major structural damage, and transportation issues in all the school districts of Farmington, Springdale, Lincoln, Prairie Grove, Elkins, West Fork, Fayetteville, and Greenland. There is also a lack of education and training on earthquake preparedness in these school districts. There is also a sufficient need to increase the capacity for an influx of refugees. There is a high potential for loss of all or most utilities. All participating jurisdictions have the potential for damage to city infrastructure, which includes bridges and roads. This could result in rescue and cleanup crews working extra hours causing all participating jurisdictions to rely on outside assistance. In addition, resulting economic issues could arise for the entire planning area. Communication will be problematic with responders and citizens. No building at the University of Arkansas is rated to withstand a 3-magnitude earthquake on the rector scale. The University of Arkansas is also home to several buildings that are on the National Historic Registry. Several cities including Farmington, Fayetteville, Prairie Grove, Springdale, and Tontitown, also have buildings on the National Historic Registry. There is a lack of self - preparedness and earthquake insurance availability in all the districts of Washington County, including the unincorporated districts. In all participating jurisdictions, elderly and disabled populations are at risk of injury or death. Several of these individuals live on their own and may not have the necessary capabilities to care for themselves. Debris covering the roadways could potentially hinder rescue efforts for these individuals. Dams and bridges have not been retrofitted to withstand any magnitude of an earthquake. There is a lack of shelter availability due to the increased potential of displaced citizens. Page 168 Extreme Temperature Profile Extreme heat is characterized by a combination of very high temperatures and exceptionally humid conditions. A heat wave results from persistent conditions over a period. Exposure to extreme heat can result in heatstroke. This scale demonstrates the possible range of high temperatures for the jurisdictions within the municipalities of Washington County. 80 82 84 40 80 81 83 45 80 82 84 50 81 83 85 55 81 84 86 60 82 84 88 65 82 85 89 70 83 86 90 75 84 88 92 80 84 89 94 85 85 90 96 90 86 91 98 95 86 93 100 100 87 95 103 �[•7J_l��Fi�t•1'f1l►.�I:�ili�'>>�Y�►�1[� Heat Index Temperature (F) 86 88 90 92 85 88 91 94 87 89 93 96 88 91 95 99 89 93 97 101 91 95 100 105 93 98 103 108 95 100 105 112 97 103 109 116 100 106 113 121 102 110 105 113 108 117 Id 112 121 94 96 98 100 97 101 105 109 100 104 109 114 103 108 113 118 106 112 117 124 110 116 123 114 121 119 124 102 104 106 108 110 114 119 124 119 124 124 Likelihood of Heat Disorders with Prolonged Exposure or Strenuous Activity ❑ Caution ❑ Extreme CaiAion ® C,a � 0 Extreme Danger Category Classification Heat Index/Apparent Temperature ('F) General Affect on People EExttemely 130°For Higher Heat/Sunstroke HIGHLY LIKELY with continued exposure Ho Sunstroke, heat cramps, or heat exhaustion LIKELY, and II Very Hot 105°F - 1:30°F heatstrokePOSSIBLE with prolonged exposure and/or physical activity Sunstroke, heat cramps, or heat exhaustion POSSIBLE with III Hot 90°F - 105°F prolonged exposure and/or physical activity Fatigue POSSIBLE with prolonged exposure and/or physical IV Very Warm 80°F - 90°F activity Page 169 Extreme Cold can accompany winter storms and be left in their aftermath. Special populations such as infants and the elderly are most vulnerable to extended exposure to the cold, which can cause potentially life -threatening conditions such as hypothermia and frostbite. Below freezing temperatures can damage vegetation and cause damage to pipes inside homes and businesses. Wind Chill is defined as how the wind and cold feels on the exposed skin. It is not the actual temperature. During colder weather, as the wind increases, body heat is pulled away from the body at a faster rate, this causes the body temperature to drop. This scale demonstrates the possible range of cold temperatures for the jurisdictions within the municipalities of Washington County. Extent All participating jurisdictions within Washington County can experience any category within the above scales but for extreme heat they have generally experienced Category II. Past Extreme Temperature Occurrences Over the past 10 years Washington County has experienced three days with extreme heat. None of these extreme heat days have resulted in any crop or property damage. Even though none of these events caused monetary damage to Washington County, the excessive heat did take the life of one person. Over the last 10 years Washington County has not experienced any extreme cold events. Due to the fact that extreme temperature occurrences are reported at the county level, only information reported the county will be used. Event Types: Excessive Heat Washington County contains the following zones: Washington County 3 events were reported between 01/01/2000 and 06/30/2023 (8582 days) Summary Info: Number of County/Zone areas affected: 1 Number of Days with Event: 3 Number of Days with Event and Death: 1 Number of Days with Event and Death or Injury: 1 Number of Days with Event and Property Damage: 0 Number of Days with Event and Crop Damage: 0 Number of Event Types reported: 1 *8-1-2012-The two deaths associated with this report were two children that had been left in a vehicle over an extended period. ******************************* Page 170 Event Types: Heat Washington County contains the following zones: Washington County 6 events were reported between 01/01/2000 and 06/30/2023 (8582 days) Summary Info: Number of County/Zone areas affected: Number of Days with Event: Number of Days with Event and Death: Number of Days with Event and Death or Injury: 4 Number of Days with Event and Property Damage: 0 Number of Days with Event and Crop Damage: 0 Number of Event Types reported: *There were 775 heat related injuries during two high heat events where attendees of an Arkansas Razorbacks game had to be treated for heat related health issues. * The two deaths were during two separate heat events; 6-22-2010-one death was a female that was found in her attic and the 2nd 6-24-2012 was a construction worker. Future Probability The historic frequency calculates that there is a 40% chance of extreme temperature occurring in Washington County every 2.56 years. Based on the current data available for extreme temperatures in Washington County, the projected climate change data for droughts indicates a relatively high probability of increased risk from extreme temperatures. The included climate change data graphic on page 70 shows a relatively high probability of increased risk from extreme temperatures that could cause increased losses to the jurisdictions in Washington County. Locations Each jurisdiction in Washington County has an equal susceptibility to extreme temperature activity. Therefore, extreme temperatures are reported county wide and not at the individual jurisdictional level. The following section will describe how all jurisdictions can be affected.

Washington County has had no occurrences of extreme cold. Extreme temperatures bring the potential risk of bodily harm or death. Health and Safety: Extreme temperatures have the potential of bodily harm and death. Since 2000, there have been 4 deaths and 775 injuries related to extreme heat. Extreme heat can cause heat rash, cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and death. Extreme cold can result in frost bite and hypothermia. Additional Impact: Extreme temperatures have the potential to impact the economic wellbeing of businesses, first responding resources, and utility personnel. First responders have the possibility of responding to medical emergencies related to extreme heat and cold that may require long hours and overtime pay. They may also contend with evacuations of special populations such as elderly, nursing homes, and people with disabilities due to the possibility of the loss of power. Businesses may also experience the loss of power and other utilities which can interrupt economic flow. Excessive heat or cold temperatures can result in the loss of inventory and can influence customer turnout. Utility personnel may be called out to contend with power outages, downed utility poles, and be forced to pay personnel for overtime hours. Resources working out in the field are at risk for heat and cold related medical conditions. Jurisdictions may need to utilize resources from neighboring jurisdictions, depending on their capabilities. Since 2000, Washington County has experienced no valued property loss, but has the potential to experience a greater loss in the future. Extreme Temperature Vulnerability Analysis The Farmington school district, Lincoln school district, and the Fayetteville school district do not have an alternate power source, such as generators, to heat or cool the buildings during power outages. There is a high risk of heat exhaustion, especially during outdoor sport practices, during the hot months in the Lincoln school district, Farmington school district, Prairie Grove school district, and Greenland school district. There are heat hazards to the grounds workers performing tasks outside, during hot months. The West Fork school district has concerns of extreme heating and cooling that will cause heat exhaustion, heat strokes, frost bite, and hypothermia to students and staff. The buses of the Springdale school district do not have air -conditioners. The Springdale school district, Lincoln school district, and the Elkins school district have reoccurring structural issues with pipes freezing and bursting. This creates an uninhabitable environment for students and staff. There are concerns with transportation capabilities during freezing conditions in the Lincoln school district. The cities of Farmington, Tontitown, Springdale, Elkins, Greenland, Goshen, Lincoln, Winslow, Johnson, Elm Springs, and the University of Arkansas lack the capability to provide shelter during extreme hot and cold temperatures. This could lead to the loss of life of vulnerable populations, which include elderly, children, and lower income populations. The city of Johnson and the unincorporated areas of Washington County lack education for public awareness about extreme temperatures. The city of Johnson lacks community involvement and volunteerism to run the city's shelters. Johnson and Unincorporated Washington County could experience extreme heat that could result in vegetation being dried out, which could then lead to wildfires that would force first responders to be exposed to the extreme temperatures and putting them at risk. Each of the participating jurisdictions have populations of elderly and disabled that may require additional assistance and care. They are also more susceptible to injury and illness associated with extreme temperatures. Several members of the participating jurisdictions communities may not have the means to escape extreme temperatures due to their financial situations and may require government assistance. The cities of Elm Springs, Farmington, Fayetteville, Johnson, Lincoln, and West Fork have critical facilities that lack the proper insulation to protect against extreme temperatures. Critical infrastructure within these locations is at risk of pipes busting during colder temperatures. Busted pipes due to extreme cold could result in secondary problems such as water damage and electrical shortages. The busted pipes could potentially risk employees and visitors to the locations. First responders from all participating jurisdictions are at risk to the temperature related illnesses, such as hypothermia and heat exhaustion, which can arise from exposure to extreme temperatures. During hot months, there is a limitation for workers completing outside tasks for the cities of Farmington and Springdale. Springdale and Farmington's Street Department's personnel are at risk of illnesses and injuries related to over exposure to extreme temperatures. Page 172 *University of Arkansas had 600 patients identified with heat exhaustion during the first football game of 2014. The University of Arkansas could potentially lose revenue from sporting events due to extreme heat and cold. The city of Tontitown has a need for heating and cooling units to disperse and loan to households with elderly and other functional needs populations. Elderly populations residing in Tontitown are at risk of serious illness and/or death related to exposure of extreme temperatures. The city of Elm Springs, Winslow, and Elkins lacks back-up generators for public buildings. Public buildings within these jurisdictions have the potential to be shut down for days due to the risk of illness and death to their employees. Governmental offices within these jurisdictions could be forced to close, resulting in essential operations of the cities being disrupted. The city of West Fork has reoccurring events of frozen water lines during freezing temperatures. The city of Prairie Grove has both a childcare facility and a senior facility. Both the senior and children that are present within these two locations are at risk of serious injury or illness. Without the proper heating and cooling capabilities these facilities could be forced to shut down until temperatures are back to safe levels. This could also result in families losing income due to the need to take time off of work and care for their children or family members.

Flooding can occur during heavy rain, when snow melts too fast, or even with just a few inches of water. Any amount of water in an area that is normally dry, no matter how much or little, is flooding. Floods are unpredictable; they can come fast or take a while to build up. They can last days, weeks, or longer. They are the most common and pervasive of any weather -related natural disasters. Also, flooding can occur anywhere within the jurisdiction that receives rain. The effects of flooding last for longer periods of time than flash flooding. A flash flood is a flood resulting from heavy or excessive rainfall in a short period of time. Flash floods are usually characterized by powerful torrents after substantial rains that tear through riverbeds, urban streets, or mountain canyons sweeping away anything in their path. They can occur within minutes or a few hours of heavy rainfall. They can even occur if no rain has fallen, for example after the failing of a levee or dam. Riverine flood refers to the flooding of a river when a river exceeds its flood stage and water spills over the banks of the river. This flooding can occur during any time of the year and is caused by excessive rain, persistent thunderstorms in the same area, ice jams, or combined rainfall and snowmelt. A floodplain is lowland. It is a relatively flat to a gently sloping area of land that adjoins the channel of a stream, watercourse, or other body of water like a reservoir or a lake that has a possibility of being covered by flood water. A floodplain is normally a dry area of land. Extent The National Weather Service classifies floods as minor flooding, moderate flooding, major flooding, and record flooding. All jurisdictions within Washington County are susceptible to any stage of flooding but have generally experienced minor to moderate flooding in past occurrences with flood depths ranging from Oft to 4ft, whereas the maximum flood depth that any jurisdiction in the planning area can experience is 25ft. Severity of Damage Description Flooding Minor ",finimal or no proper,- damage. but possibly some publ:c Flooding threat or inconven_ence Moderate Some inundation of structures and roads near stream.

Future Probability The historic frequency calculates that there is over 100% chance of flash flood conditions occurring in Washington County every 0.39 years. Based on the current data available for flooding in Washington County, the projected climate change data for flooding indicates a relatively moderate probability of increased risk from flooding conditions. The included climate change data graphic on shows a relatively moderate probability of increased risk from flooding that could cause increased losses to the jurisdictions in Washington County.

Maps depicting each participating jurisdictions' critical infrastructure located in floodplains can be found in Appendix B. Page 180 Washington Countv Analvsis Since 2000, Washington County has had 60 flash flood occurrences throughout the entire county, resulting in $8,425,000 in property damage. The occurrences of flash floods resulted in roadways being covered, disrupting traffic flow, and homes and other structures being damaged. During a flood, potential risk could include, but is not limited to damage to crops, structures, infrastructure, illness, bodily harm, and death. Health and Safety: Since 2000, there have been 5 reported deaths for Washington County out of the entire county. Flood waters pose multiple risks that include the spread of infectious diseases, chemical hazards, injuries, and death. Damage to Building Infrastructure: Flood waters have the potential to impact the community and its critical assets. Damage or destruction to structures is a potential effect of floods. Floods also have the potential to destroy or damage infrastructure. Additional Impact: Floods have the potential to impact the economic wellbeing of businesses, first responding resources, and utility personnel. First responders have the possibility of responding to flooded roadways that may produce the need for rescue and may require long hours and overtime pay. They may also contend with evacuations of special populations such as elderly, nursing homes, and people with disabilities. Homes may be damaged or destroyed, forcing search and rescue teams to work overtime. These families may be forced to pay for hotels or to stay with family and friends, which can affect incomes for both parties. Businesses may be without power and other utilities which can interrupt economic flow. Utility personnel may be called out to contend with power outages, downed utility poles, and be forced to pay personnel for overtime hours. Jurisdictions may need to utilize resources from neighboring jurisdictions, depending on their capabilities. Since 2000, Washington County has experienced a high value loss, but still has the potential of a greater future loss. Page 181 City of Elkins and Elkins School District Analysis Since 2000, the city of Elkins and the Elkins School District have had 2 flash flood occurrences out of the 60 reports for Washington County, resulting in no property damage. During a flood, potential risk could include, but is not limited to damage to crops, structures, infrastructure, illness, bodily harm, and death. Health and Safety: There were no reported deaths in the city of Elkins, however Washington County has experienced 5 flood related deaths since 2000. Flood waters pose multiple risks that include the spread infectious diseases, chemical hazards, injuries, and death. Elkins has a water and wastewater treatment facility. Flood water could potentially damage containers housing hazardous chemicals and could also carry the chemicals to streams and other waterways. Rising waters also bring the risk of electrical shock. There are no warning systems in Elkins to address flooding. Children play in flooded areas at the Elkins School which has the potential of injury or death. Damage to Building Infrastructure: Flood waters have the potential to impact the community and its critical assets. Damage or destruction to structures is a potential effect of floods. Floods also have the potential to destroy or damage infrastructure. There are 7 located within a flood plain area. Additional Impact: Floods have the potential to impact the economic wellbeing of businesses, first responding resources, and utility personnel. First responders have the possibility of responding to flooded roadways that may produce the need for rescue and may require long hours and overtime pay. They may also contend with evacuations of special populations such as elderly, nursing homes, and people with disabilities. Schools have the risk of being damaged or destroyed, causing children and employees to stay home from school resulting in a loss of income and revenue. With the children being forced to stay home parents would have to take off themselves or seek additional childcare. Homes may be damaged or destroyed, forcing search and rescue teams to work overtime. These families may be forced to pay for hotels or to stay with family and friends, which can affect incomes for both parties. Historical sites may be damaged or destroyed. Animal control may be forced to rescue pets and livestock from flood waters. Businesses may be without power and other utilities which can interrupt economic flow. Utility personnel may be called out to contend with power outages, downed utility poles, and be forced to pay personnel for overtime hours. Elkins may need to utilize resources from neighboring jurisdictions, depending on their capabilities. Since 2000, Elkins has experienced no value loss, but still has the potential of a greater future loss. Page 182 Elm Springs Analysis Since 2000, the City of Elm Springs has had 3 flash flood occurrences out of the 60 reports for Washington County, resulting in no property damage. Past occurrences resulted in damage to roadways and bridges. During a flood, potential risk could include, but is not limited to damage to crops, structures, infrastructure, illness, bodily harm, and death. Health and Safety: There have been no reported deaths in the City of Elm Springs, however Washington County has experienced 5 flood related deaths since 2000. Flood waters pose multiple risks that include the spread infectious diseases, chemical hazards, injuries, and death. Elm Springs has a water and wastewater treatment facility that uses chemicals to treat the water. If flood waters damage the containers for the chemicals, then the chemicals can be carried into waterways contaminating wildlife and vegetation. The Brush Creek and tributary system flood often and would be a way for the chemicals to cover a larger area. Damage to Building Infrastructure: Flood waters have the potential to impact the community and its critical assets. Damage or destruction to structures is a potential effect of floods. Floods also have the potential to destroy or damage infrastructure. Additional Impact: Floods have the potential to impact the economic wellbeing of businesses, first responding resources, and utility personnel.

Page 197 Severe Storm Hazard Profile to include thunderstorms, lightening and hail Thunderstorm A thunderstorm can be defined as any storm that produces lightning and thunder. Most of the time, blustery winds, substantial rain, and hail are involved. A single cumulonimbus cloud map produces a thunderstorm, and therefore, only impacts a small area; however, it may be accompanying groups of cumulonimbus clouds which may affect a large area. If a thunderstorm has winds gusting more than 58 mph (50 knots), hail one inch or larger, or a tornado, it is classified as "severe." Thunderstorm events are created by atmospheric imbalance and turbulence due to the combined conditions of unstable warm air rising rapidly into the atmosphere, adequate moisture producing clouds, rain and upward lifts of air currents resulting from colliding weather fronts (cold and warm), sea breezes, or mountains.

The discharge of lightning can travel in three different ways: cloud to ground, cloud to cloud, or ground to cloud. The electrical discharge occurs when the separation of positively and negatively charged ions are strong enough. Lightning is created to try and balance out the opposing charges of these ions.

This type of lightning has the potential LAL 6 for extreme fire acthity and is normally highlighted in fire weather forecasts with a Red Flag W arning Page 198 Hail Hail is a form of precipitation that grows in the updraft of a thunderstorm. Within updrafts, some nuclei come in contact with supercooled water and freeze on contact. Stronger updrafts lift hailstones into more supercooled water allowing the hailstone to continue to grow. As the updraft strengthens the hailstones are capable of growing larger. Once the updraft of the thunderstorm weakens or can no longer support the weight of the hailstone gravity pulls it down. How hail falls to the ground is dependent upon what is occurring within the thunderstorm. Hailstones can continue to grow as they fall and encounter raindrops and other hailstones. This also slows down the speed at which the hailstones fall out of the thunderstorm. This chart represents common items that can be associated with hailstone sizes.

Page1117 Tornado and High Winds Hazard Profile According to the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA), "a tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground." Tornados are usually produced by a thunderstorm and formed when cool air supersedes a layer of warm air, causing the warm air to rise rapidly. At times, vortices remain suspended in the atmosphere as funnel clouds; however, when the vortex contacts the ground, it becomes a tornado. The Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale measures the wind speed and damage that a tornado produces and categorizes it by giving it a numerical value ranging from EFO to EF5, as shown in the table below. This scale demonstrates the possible range of tornado damage for the jurisdictions within the municipalities of Washington County. Enhanced Fujita Scale Scale Range Wind Speed: 3- Description of Damage second gust (mph) EFO 65-85 Minor Damage: Chimneys are damaged; Some damage to gutters, siding, and roofs; Some tree branches broken; Shallow -rooted trees pushed over. EF1 86-110 Moderate Damage: Roof severely stripped; Unanchored mobile homes are overturned; loss of exterior doors; windows and other glass broken; smaller tree trunks are snapped; attached garages may e destroyed. EF2 111-13 Considerable Damage: Roof structures are damaged; foundation of frame houses shifted; mobile homes destroyed; large trees snapped r uprooted; debris becomes airborne; light object missiles generated. EF3 136-165 Severe Damage: Roofs and some walls are torn from structures; severe damage to large buildings such as shopping malls; trains overturned; structures with weak foundations blown away some distance; most trees in forest are uprooted. EF4 166-200 Extreme Damage to Near -Total Destruction: Well- constructed houses are destroyed; large debris becomes airborne; some structures are lifted from foundations and blown some distance. EF5 Over 200 Massive Damage: Strong frame houses are leveled off foundations; steel -reinforced concrete structures critically damaged; high-rise buildings have severe structural deformation; automobile -sized missiles become air borne. Extent All participating jurisdictions can experience a tornado range of EFO-EF5 but have generally experienced a tornado range of EFO-EF3. Page1118 Past Tornado Occurrences The entire Washington County has experienced 19 tornadoes since 2000. There have been 4-EFO with $6,000 in property damage; 8-EF1 with $704,000 in property damage; 5-EF2 with 3 injured and $600,000 in property damage and 2-EF3 with 4 deaths, 14 injured and $25.5 million in property damages in Washington County.

Businesses may be without power and other utilities which can interrupt economic flow. Utility personnel may be called out to contend with power outages, downed utility poles, and be forced to pay personnel for overtime hours. Jurisdictions may need to utilize resources from neighboring jurisdictions, depending on their capabilities. Since 2000, Washington County has not experienced high value loss, but is not immune to the possibility of a high wind event having a greater impact than past occurrences. Page 1 137 High Wind Vulnerability Analysis Some buildings in the school districts of Elkins, Prairie Grove, Greenland, Springdale, and Lincoln may be severely damaged by high winds due to old and faulty roofing materials. Other property of the Elkins school district, such as bleachers and field signs are worn and not sturdy. Utility poles of the Greenland school district are not capable of withstanding high winds. The West Fork school district's secondary roads and landscape are vulnerable to fallen trees and limbs causing the bus transportation to be problematic, at times. The Farmington school district and Fayetteville school district do not have protective film on windows in many buildings, increasing the probability of broken glass causing injury or death. The West Fork school district has many trees that could become broken or uprooted and take out power lines causing power outages. The city of Prairie Grove, Springdale, Greenland, Tontitown, Farmington, Goshen, West Fork, and the unincorporated districts of Washington County lack safe rooms in public buildings and community shelters during extreme weather events. Due to lack of equipment and vehicles for tree trimming, debris from broken limbs causes power outages, road blockage, and damage to buildings. Lincoln's public buildings, specifically the library, have large amounts of glass, and the municipal court and other community buildings have asphalt roofs. Page 1 138 Wildfire Hazard Profile A wildfire is any unwanted, unplanned, damaging fire burning in the forest, shrub, or grass and results from lightning and humans. Wildfires often begin unnoticed, spread quickly, and are usually signaled by dense smoke that fills the area for miles around. A wildland fire is a wildfire in an area in which development is essentially nonexistent, except for roads, railroads, power lines and similar facilities. A Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fire is a wildfire in a geographical area where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with wildland or vegetable fuels. Large amounts of wooded, brush and grassy areas are at the highest risk of wildfire. Additionally, areas that have experienced prolonged droughts or are excessively dry are also at risk of wildfires. Wildland Urban Interface According to the Southern Wildfire Risk Assessment (SWRA) report for the Washington County project area, it is estimated that 88 percent of the total project area population live within the WUI. The Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) layer reflects housing density depicting where humans and their structures meet or intermix with wildland fuels. The Characteristic Fire Intensity Scale (FIS) specifically identifies areas where significant fuel hazards and associated dangerous fire behavior potential exist based on weighted average of four percentile weather categories. Like the Richter scale for earthquakes, FIS provides a standard scale to measure potential wildfire intensity. Fire hate ity Scale Classification Description Class 1, Very Very small, discontinuous flames, usually less than 1 foot in length; Low- very low rate of spread; no spotting. Fires are typically easy to suppress by firefighters with basic training and non -specialized equipment. Class _', Lon Small flames, usually less than two feet long; small amount of very short range spotting possible. Fires are easy to suppress by trained firefighters with protective equipment and specialized tools. Class �, Flames up to S feet in length; short-range spotting is possible. Trained Moderate firefighters will find these fires difficult to suppress without support from aircraft or engines, but dozer and plows are generally effective. Increasing potential for harm or damage to life and property. Class •t, High Large flames up to 30 feet in length; short-range spotting common; medium range spotting possible. Direct attack by trained firefighters, engines, and dozers is generally ineffective, indirect attack may be effective. Significant potential for harm or damage to life and property. Class 5, Ven- Very large flames up to 150 feet in length; profuse short-range High spotting, frequent long-range spotting; strong fire -induced winds. Indirect atack marginally effective at the head of the fire_ Great potential for harm or damage to life and property Extent All participating jurisdictions can experience wildfire with fire intensity ranging from a class 1 to a class 5, but Washington County generally experiences a class 1 to a class 3 on the fire intensity scale, where flames can reach 8 feet in length. Page 1 139 Past Wildfire Occurrences Washington County reported 1 wildfire that was responsible for $50,000 worth of damage in the town of Johnson, where it damaged 3 homes. Because wildfire occurrences are reported at the county level, only information reported the county will be used. Future Probability The historic frequency calculates that there is a 10% chance of a wildfire occurring in Washington County every 10 years. Based on the current data available for wildfires in Washington County, the projected climate change data for wildfires indicates a relatively moderate risk. The included climate change data graphic on shows a relatively moderate probability of increased risk from wildfires that could cause increased losses to the jurisdictions in Washington County. i a _ a e o Y ■ - � 6 Page 1 140 The map below shows each participating jurisdictions' location.

Characteristic Fire Intensity Scale (FIS) specifically identifies areas where significant fuel hazards and associated dangerous fire behavior potential exist based on weighted average of four percentile weather categories. Like the Richter scale for earthquakes, FIS provides a standard scale to measure potential wildfire intensity. FIS consists of 5 values where the order of magnitude between values is ten -fold. The minimum value, Value 1, represents very low wildfire intensities and the maximum class, Value 5, represents very high wildfire intensities, as depicted below and in jurisdictional fire intensity maps located in Appendix C.

URI NAD 19H Date 12,W14 Characteristic Flame Length is the typical or representative flame length of a potential fire based on a weighted average of four percentile weather categories. Flame length is defined as the distance between the flame tip and the midpoint of the flame depth at the base of the flame, which is generally the ground surface. It is an indicator of fire intensity and is often used to estimate how much heat the fire is generating. Flame length is typically measured in feet (ft). Flame length is the measure of fire intensity used to generate the response index outputs for the SWRA. The map below depicts the characteristic flame length for the entire planning area.

Wildfire has the potential to impact crops, livestock, forested land, structures, infrastructure, health, and safety. Health and Safety: Extreme temperature have the potential to cause bodily harm or death. Inhaling smoke for a short amount of time can cause instantaneous effects. Smoke irritates the eyes, nose, and throat, and its odor has the potential to cause nausea. Smoke inhalation can temporarily change lung functions, resulting in breathing difficulties. Exposure to smoke may also have other chronic health effects. Wildfire also carries the potential for burns ranging from first degree to third degree. Burns also has the potential for infection, shock, hypothermia, hypovolemia, and can have chronic effects on the nervous system. Infections in the body, such as Sepsis, have the potential to cause shock or death. Building and Infrastructure: Wildfire has the potential to impact the community and its critical assets. The two occurrences of wildfire reported by Washington County, caused damage to homes in the town of Johnson and resulted in $50,000 in property damage and the second was a brushfire that got out of control and trapped a victim who succumbed to her injuries with two injuries to people trying to help her. Wildfires have the potential to affect infrastructure by burning down power poles and cell towers. Homes and other structures are also at risk of damage or destruction. Additional Impact: Wildfires have the potential to impact the economic wellbeing of businesses, first responding resources, and utility personnel. First responders have the possibility of responding to structural fires that are the result of wildfires that may produce the need for rescue and may require long hours and overtime pay. They may also contend with evacuations of special populations such as elderly, nursing homes, and people with disabilities. Schools have the risk of being damaged or destroyed, causing children and employees to stay home from school resulting in a loss of income and revenue. With the children being forced to stay home parents would have to take off themselves or seek additional childcare. Homes may be damaged or destroyed, forcing search and rescue teams to work overtime. These families may be forced to pay for hotels or to stay with family and friends, which can affect incomes for both parties. Historical sites may be damaged or destroyed. Businesses may be without power and other utilities which can interrupt economic flow. Utility personnel may be called out to contend with power outages, downed utility poles, and be forced to pay personnel for overtime hours. Jurisdictions may need to utilize resources from neighboring jurisdictions, depending on their capabilities. Since 2000, Washington County has experienced low value loss, but has the potential to experience a greater loss in the future. Page 1 146 Wildfire Vulnerability Analysis The school districts of Springdale, Farmington, Fayetteville, Lincoln, Greenland, Prairie Grove, West Fork, and Elkins currently do not have fire protection to prevent fires from spreading towards school campuses. This leaves the schools' sporting facilities as well as other structural assets at risk of being damaged or destroyed. If the schools are damaged due to wildfire students will be forced to stay home resulting in parents having to take off from work. Faculty and staff will also potentially lose income and fall behind in their work due to their time off. If the sporting venues are damaged the school could potentially lose revenue from fan attendance and also be forced to pay repair expenses. Elkins School District does not have a fire buffer zone around the schools where flammable vegetation is present. The bus routes of the West Fork school district, Greenland school district, Springdale school district, and Lincoln school district have to travel through heavy wild land areas to transport students that could be hazardous. Smoke from these fires could potentially obscure the bus driver's vision and put the children at risk of bodily harm or death. The driver and students are also at risk of smoke inhalation from the fires. There is a lack of student education on wildfire prevention in the Farmington school district. The city of Fayetteville, Springdale, Lincoln, Greenland, West Fork, and Winslow have a large amount of wild land — urban interfaces. The city of Elm Springs, Elkins, Tontitown, and Greenland do not have sufficient resources, such as fire apparatuses and fire suits to respond to small or large wildfires, which may require them to reach out to neighboring jurisdictions for assistance and the compensation of those responding. Structures such as senior and childcare facilities in Elkins, Greenland, and Farmington, could potentially be further damaged due to these jurisdictions not having the adequate resources to combat the wildfires. People residing in the senior and childcare facilities would have to be evacuated in the event of a wildfire. If there was an inadequate number of staff and personnel to help remove these vulnerable populations, then lives could potentially be lost. Communication towers in Elkins and Elm Springs could be damaged or destroyed, causing communications between first responders to be hindered. If Tontitown were to experience a wildfire occurrence, it could potentially lose artifacts from the local museum. Parks and structures listed on the National Historic Registry such as the Tontitown School Building, are at risk of destruction due to the lack of sufficient resources. The cities of Fayetteville, Springdale, Prairie Grove, and Lincoln do not have fire breaks around structures and residences, putting them at risk. Elderly populations within these jurisdictions could potentially be in harm's way if they are not able to leave their homes. Those who can leave their homes may require medical equipment and medications that may not be readily available. These cities would like to provide their citizens with knowledge of safety procedures and ordinances pertaining to wildfire and burning. The city of Elm Springs has not adopted the WUI code. The fire department of the city of Prairie Grove and Farmington lack adequate manpower to deal with large scale wildfires and grass fires. Therefore, they may be forced to request additional resources from neighboring jurisdictions. The cities of Johnson, Winslow, Elkins, and Goshen have dense vegetation in areas of the town that would allow fires to spread, putting elderly populations and people with special needs that do not have the capability to seek shelter at risk. If wildfires spread beyond the abilities of the first responders, they may be required to request assistance from neighboring jurisdictions, which could result in long work hours and overtime pay. The cities of Springdale, Fayetteville, Tontitown, Farmington, Prairie Grove and the University of Arkansas have buildings listed on the National Historic Registry that are at risk of damage due to wildfires. The University of Arkansas would face susceptibility of loss of agriculture, research, and buildings. The unincorporated areas of Washington County have the potential to lose many homes that are being built in the woodland areas. All participating jurisdictions are susceptible to damage or destruction to crops and livestock. With crops and grass dying, famers will be forced to provide livestock that rely on grazing with alternative means of food. Farmers within the planning area could potentially be at a great economic loss due to the destruction of crops and livestock. Page 1 147 Winter Storm Hazard Profile Winter storms, which include heavy snowfall, ice storms, and strong winds, affect every state in the continental United States. Areas where such weather is uncommon, such as Arkansas, are typically disrupted more severely by winter storms than those regions that experience this weather more frequently. The National Weather Service (NWS) defines snow as a steady fall for several hours or more. Heavy snow is defined as either a snowfall accumulating to a depth of 4 inches within 12 hours or less, or snowfall depth accumulation to 6 inches or more within 24 hours or less. A blizzard occurs when circumstances continue for a period of 3 hours or more 1) constant wind or recurrent gusts to 35 miles an hour or greater, 2) substantial falling and/or blowing snow which decreases visibility to less than '/4 mile. Dodson Snowstorm Rating Scale Category 1 Accumulation: Snowfall accumulations of 14" are forecast_ A fairly common event.

Sleet is defined as pellets of ice composed of frozen or mostly frozen raindrops or refrozen partially melted snowflakes. These pellets of ice typically bounce after striking the ground or other hard surfaces. Freezing Rain or freezing drizzle refers to when rain freezes on surfaces such as the ground, power lines, vehicles, roadways, etc. Small accumulations of ice can result in driving and walking complications while substantial accumulations produce tremendously dangerous and damaging conditions. Ice storms are described as periods when accumulations of ice are expected during freezing rain. Significant accumulations of ice have the potential to cause damage to trees and utility lines. Substantial ice accumulations are generally accumulations of .25 inches or greater.

Extent All participating jurisdictions can experience any category of snow on the Dodson Snowstorm Rating Scale and can also experience any index on the Ice Index Parameter scale, but all participating jurisdictions generally experience categories 1-2 on the Dodson Snowstorm Rating Scale and an index ranging from 1-3 on the Ice Index Parameter. Past Winter Weather Occurrences Washington County experiences many winter weather related events. Over the last 10 years, they have had 16 winter storm events with a report of an injury. These events have not resulted in any crop or property damage for the county. Over the last 10 years, Washington County has had one ice storm. This ice storm did not take any lives, but it did result in approximately 45 million dollars' worth of damage. Because winter storm occurrences are reported at the county level, only information reported the county will be used. See Appendix B for past occurrences tables. Event Type: Winter Storm Washington county contains the following zones: Washington 29 events were reported between 01/01/2000 and 06/30/2023 (8582 days) Summary Info: Number of County/Zone areas affected: Number of Days with Event: Number of Days with Event and Death: Number of Days with Event and Death or Injury: Number of Days with Event and Property Damage: Number of Days with Event and Crop Damage: Number of Event Types reported: 29 Page 1 149 Event Types: Ice Storm Washington county contains the following zones: Washington 5 events were reported between 01/01/2000 and 06/30/2023 (8582 days) Summary Info: Number of County/Zone areas affected: Number of Days with Event: Number of Days with Event and Death: Number of Days with Event and Death or Injury: Number of Days with Event and Property Damage: Number of Days with Event and Crop Damage: Number of Event Types reported: Future Probability The historic frequency calculates that there is over 100% chance of a winter storm/ice storm occurring in Washington County every 0.625 years. Locations Each jurisdiction in Washington County has an equal susceptibility to winter weather activity. Therefore, winter weather is reported county wide and not at the individual jurisdictional level. The following section will describe how all jurisdictions can be affected. Page 1 150 Winter Storm Analysis Since 2000, Washington County has had 29 winter storm occurrences, resulting in $50,000 in property damage, 1 occurrence of heavy snow, resulting in no property damage, and 1 occurrence of an ice storm, resulting in $46 million in property damage. These storms resulted in many motor vehicle accidents and power outages. Winter storms can result in the damaging of infrastructure, structures, bodily harm, and death. Health and Safety: Winter storms have the potential of bodily harm and death. Since 200, there has been one winter storm related injury reported in Washington County. Building and Infrastructure: Winter storms have the potential to impact the community and its critical assets. Damage to structures and infrastructure is a potential effect of winter storms. Communication also has the potential to be affected by winter storms. Additional Impact: Winter storms have the potential to impact the economic wellbeing of businesses, first responding resources, and utility personnel. First responders have the possibility of responding to motor vehicle accidents that may produce the need for rescue and may require long hours and overtime pay. They may also contend with evacuations of special populations such as elderly, nursing homes, and people with disabilities. Businesses may be without power and other utilities which can interrupt economic flow. Utility personnel may be called out to contend with power outages, downed utility poles, and be forced to pay personnel for overtime hours. Highway departments have the possibility of working long hours salting roadways and contending with road closures. Jurisdictions may need to utilize resources from neighboring jurisdictions, depending on their capabilities. Schools may be closed due to inclement weather, resulting in loss of income for employees as well as loss of revenue from students being out of school. With the children being forced to stay home parents would have to take off themselves or seek additional childcare. Since 2000, Washington County has experienced a high value loss, and has the potential to experience greater loss in the future. Winter Storm Vulnerability Analysis The school districts of Greenland, Springdale, and Lincoln have an elevated risk of structural failure due to weight on the roofs of buildings. Power poles and lines are subject to damage due to excessive weight creating cascading effects of power loss and information loss. The Fayetteville school district, The Lincoln school district, and the Elkins school district lack essential equipment to clear parking lots and sidewalks during heavy snow, creating hazardous situations for pedestrians and drivers. The West Fork school district is made up of 133 square miles of mountainous terrain, creating problematic issues transporting students to and from school. The Springdale school district also has problematic issues concerning transporting students to and from school on icy roadways; there are currently no alternate routes or plans. The Prairie Grove school district has reoccurring structural issues with pipes freezing in the buildings at school. The Farmington school district currently faces problems of losing power during freezing conditions and starting buses during freezing conditions. This creates an impossible environment for daily routines for students and staff. The city of Winslow, Goshen, Greenland, Farmington, Elm Springs, Elkins, Prairie Grove, West Fork, Tontitown, Farmington, the University of Arkansas campus, and the unincorporated areas of Washington County, lack an effectiveness for clearing roads. The city of Winslow, Elm Springs, Greenland, and the city of Springdale face structural failures that includes buildings, power poles, and power lines due to excessive weight creating cascading effects of power loss and information loss. The city of West Fork and the University of Arkansas campus has a need for an alternate power source during downed power lines and power outages. Damage to trees creates road blockage and other transportation issues. The city of Lincoln has limited resources for stockpiling food and transporting residents to shelters, including limited space in community shelters. The city of Elm Springs has public buildings, specifically the City Hall, which is uninsulated. The city of Elkins does have the capability to provide emergency shelters for residents.

Existing programs and policies were reviewed in order to identify those that may weaken or enhance the hazard mitigation objectives outlined in this document. This list does not necessarily reflect every plan, ordinance, or other guidance document within each jurisdiction; however, this is a summary of the guidance documents known to and recommended for review by members of the planning committee. The checkmark (�) indicates that the jurisdiction reported having the authority to implement the specified regulatory tool and that the tool is currently in place.

These tools are valuable instruments in pre and post disaster mitigation as they facilitate the implementation of mitigation activities through the current legal and regulatory framework. These policies, programs, and capabilities are described in greater detail for Washington County and the participating jurisdictions, as well as the State and Federal levels. Building Code Building codes regulate construction standards and are developed for specific geographic areas of the country. They consider the type, frequency, and intensity of hazards present in the region. Structures built to applicable building codes are inherently resistant to many hazards such as strong winds, floods, and earthquakes, up to certain levels of severity. Due to the location specific nature of the building codes, these are very valuable tools for mitigation. Zoning Ordinance Zoning is a useful tool to consider when developing a mitigation strategy. It can be used to restrict new development, require low -density development, and designate specific uses (e.g. recreational) in the hazard prone areas. Private property rights must be considered, but enacting a zoning ordinance can reduce or potentially eliminate damages from future hazard events. According to the State Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan, all local communities in the State of Arkansas are encouraged to incorporate mitigation standards in zoning and land use ordinances. Subdivision Ordinance Subdivision ordinances offer an opportunity to account for natural hazards prior to the development of land as they formulate regulations when the land is subdivided. Subdivision design that incorporates mitigation principles can reduce the exposure of future development to hazard events. Special Purpose Ordinance A special purpose ordinance is a form of zoning in which specific standards dependent upon the special purpose or use must be met. For example, many special purpose ordinances include basic development requirements such as setbacks and elevations. The community's floodplain management ordinance may be a special purpose ordinance. The special purpose ordinance is a useful mitigation technique particularly when implemented to reduce damages associated with flooding. Growth Management Ordinance Growth management ordinances are enacted to control the location, amount, and type of development in accordance with the larger planning goals of the jurisdiction. These ordinances often designate the areas in which certain types of development is limited and encourage the protection of open space for reasons such as environmental protection and limitation of sprawl. Site Plan Review Requirements Site plan review requirements are used to evaluate proposed development prior to construction. An illustration of the proposed work, including its location, site elevations, exact dimensions, existing and proposed buildings, and many other elements are often included in the site plan review requirements. The site plan reviews offer an opportunity to incorporate mitigation principles, such as ensuring that the proposed development is not in an identified hazard area and that appropriate setbacks are included. Page 1 154 Comprehensive Plan A comprehensive plan is a document which illustrates the overall vision and goals of a community. It serves as a guide for the community's future and often includes anticipated demographics, land use, transportation, and actions to achieve desired goals. Integrating mitigation concepts and policies into a comprehensive plan provides a means for implementing initiatives through legal frameworks and enhances the opportunity to reduce the risk posed by hazard events. Capital Improvement Plan Capital Improvement Plans schedule the capital spending and investments necessary for public improvements such as schools, roads, libraries, and fire services. These plans can serve as an important mechanism to manage development in identified hazard areas through limited public spending. Economic Development Plan Economic development plans offer a comprehensive overview of the local or regional economic state, establish policies to guide economic growth, and include strategies, projects, and initiatives to improve the economy in the future. Economic development plans, like capital improvement plans, offer an opportunity to reduce development in hazard prone areas by encouraging economic growth in areas less susceptible to hazard events. Emergency Response Plan Emergency response plans provide an opportunity for local governments to anticipate an emergency and plan the response accordingly. In the event of an emergency, a previously established emergency response plan can reduce negative effects as the responsibilities and means by which resources are deployed have been previously determined. Post -Disaster Recovery Plan A post disaster recovery plan guides the physical, social, environmental, and economic recovery and reconstruction procedures after a disaster. Hazard mitigation principles are often incorporated into post disaster recovery plans in order to reduce repetitive disaster losses. The post disaster recovery plan is included as a chapter of the comprehensive plan. Real Estate Disclosure Ordinance A real estate disclosure ordinance requires individuals selling real estate to inform potential buyers of the hazards to which the property and/or structure is vulnerable prior to the sale. Such a requirement ensures that the new property owner is aware of the hazards to which the property is at risk of damage. Administrative and Technical Capability The ability of a local government to develop and implement mitigation projects, policies, and programs is contingent upon its staff and resources. Administrative capability is determined by evaluating whether there are an adequate number of personnel to complete mitigation activities. Similarly, technical capability can be evaluated by assessing the level of knowledge and technical expertise of local government employees, such as personnel skilled in surveying and Geographic Information Systems. Page 1 155 The table below provides a summary of the administrative and technical capabilities currently in place in each participating jurisdiction. The checkmark (�) indicates that the local government reported maintaining a staff member for the given function. Administrati,-e and Tedmical Capabihth- O $ u w d ru 'a.

Having their level of knowledge and expertise will help in the process of assessing and mitigating risks while limiting risk to new development or redevelopment. Floodplain Management By employing floodplain management, the jurisdiction can protect its citizens against much of the devastating financial loss resulting from flood disasters. Careful local management of development in the floodplains results in construction practices that can reduce flood losses and the high costs associated with flood disasters to all levels of government. Surveyors Surveyors gather information that is needed by the city engineers or city projects that involve development or redevelopment. A surveyor records geographic conditions and man-made features as they currently exist. Other noted information might include terrain, drainage, property boundaries and ownership, soil condition, and other physical features. GIS/HAZUS GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and HAZUS are powerful resources that the jurisdictions can be used to identify important facts about the community. GIS technology can be used to improve transparency about specific risks to the community, in community planning, and resource management. HAZUS is methodology for estimating potential losses from earthquakes, hurricane winds and floods. HAZUS uses GIS technology to estimate physical, economic, and social impacts of disasters. Emergency Manager An emergency manager performs administrative and technical work in the development, implementation, and coordination of the community's emergency management program. This position also acts as the authority in disaster recovery efforts, oversees the disaster training, exercises, and public awareness programs, and performs related duties as assigned.

The program encourages communities to take a new pro -active approach. Firewise Firewise communities are those that have taken appropriate measures to become more resistant to wildfire structural damage. Firewise techniques include minimizing the risk of home ignition by carefully landscaping around residential structures such as thinning trees and brush and choosing fire-resistant plants, selecting ignition -resistant building materials and positioning structures away from slopes. Capability Assessment Conclusion Mitigation requires capabilities necessary to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impacts of disasters. Each jurisdiction has demonstrated a set of capabilities unique to their community. The capability assessment finds that Washington County and the participating jurisdictions collectively have a significant level of legal, technical, and fiscal tools and resources necessary to implement hazard mitigation strategies. All the jurisdictions but Winslow have the legal capabilities or ordinances and codes in place that might help reduce loss due to a disaster. The jurisdictions, including school districts, have a range of staff trained or have knowledge about hazards and their impacts. While some jurisdictions lack an emergency manager in their community, there is the Washington County Emergency Management Department that can help. All participating jurisdictions have financial resources that can be used towards mitigation. Most of those resources are capital improvement funds or tax bonds. While the city of Johnson and city of Winslow do not have capital improvement funds, they take advantage of utility fees and state funding programs. All communities in Washington County have local citizen groups that are willing to assist in emergency management efforts. While most jurisdictions participate in the safety related school programs, very few jurisdictions are StormReady certified and only the city of Fayetteville is a Fire Wise community. Some participating jurisdictions such as Springdale have incorporated a community wildfire plan, while others such as Lincoln and Prairie Grove solely utilize burn bans. These jurisdictions can expand their capabilities by implementing wildfire plans. Very few participating jurisdictions have Emergency Operations Plans in place. Jurisdictions such as Farmington can further address hazards by generating EOPs and Continuity of Operations Plans for the city. Page1160 National Flood Insurance Program National Flood Insurance: In Washington County, 14 jurisdictions participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Flood insurance is required as a condition of certain types of federal aid and most bank loans and mortgages for buildings located in the 100-year floodplain identified on the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The table below shows each jurisdictions' date of entry into the NFIP, their current effective map, the number of policies, and the total amount of coverage.

The participating communities also engage in public education and outreach in public schools and EAST programs, while also sending letters and notices out to city officials, city water/utilities, local realtors, insurance agents, and mortgage lenders. By continuing their involvement, participating communities will gain additional credit points under FEMA's Community Rating System (CRS) program, which provides discounts on National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood insurance premiums for residents of communities that voluntarily participate in this program. Washington County and all its jurisdictions that participates in the NFIP Page1161 Jurisdictional Continued Participation in NFIP Unincorporated Washington County Elkins -Continue to enforce adopted floodplain management ordinance requirements Elm Springs -Floodplain mapping Farmington -Maintains floodplain development records Goshen -Promote flood insurance for all properties Greenland - Community Rating System outreach programs Johnson -Permit reviews and inspections based on ordinance requirements Prairie Grove Tontitown West Fork Winslow Fayetteville -Continue to enforce adopted floodplain management ordinance requirements Lincoln -Floodplain mapping Springdale -Maintains floodplain development records -Promote flood insurance for all properties - Community Rating System outreach programs -Permit reviews and inspections based on ordinance requirements -Post NFIP resources and flood safety information to the city websites Substantial damage and improvement policies: This policy is carried out by the participating jurisdictions in Washington County per NFIP guidelines as follows: While FEMA may provide assistance in conducting damage assessments, NFIP guidance documents state that community floodplain management officials are responsible for estimating the cost to repair and the market value of the structure, determining which properties are substantially damaged, and notifying property owners of their determination. NFIP requires property owners to bring any substantially damaged buildings located in a special flood hazard area into compliance with minimum NFIP requirements, if they choose to rebuild. This could mean elevating their structure to reduce the risk of future flood damage or losses. Commercial and residential property owners with NFIP flood insurance who wish to rebuild a property that has been declared substantially damaged must work with the insurance company through which they purchased their NFIP policy to process their NFIP claim, and then must obtain permits from their community for repair work.

Page 1 163 Mitigation Strategies Mitigation Actions Considerations The County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team identified a comprehensive range of possible mitigation actions intended to reduce the effects of the 10 hazard types posing a risk for the area. The actions were selected based upon their potential effects on the overall risk to life and property (particularly new and existing buildings and infrastructure), ease of implementation, community and agency support, consistency with local jurisdictions' plans and capabilities, and availability of funding. Comuleted Mitigation Strategies Mitigation actions from the previous plan that were completed can be found in Appendix C. Incomplete mitigation actions from the previous plan were incorporated into this plan update. Mitigation Action Prioritization All jurisdictions of Washington County were tasked with prioritizing their own mitigation strategies based on several criteria, such as overall benefit to the community, total cost and availability of funding, practicality, community support, and desire of community stakeholders. Each jurisdiction was encouraged to take ownership of this process. The jurisdictional stakeholders met with members of the planning team and were instructed about the importance of prioritizing their mitigation strategies based on the factors in the paragraph. The planning team recommended the jurisdictional stakeholders implement a numerical ranking system to prioritize their mitigation strategies. Under this system, a ranking of "1" was the most important mitigation strategy and then descended in importance thereafter.

Washington County currently guides and controls development in the County. It will be responsible for ensuring that mitigation goals, objectives, and strategies are incorporated in all future county planning activities. There are several planning processes and mechanisms in Washington County that will either use the risk assessment information presented in this document to inform decisions or will integrate the mitigation strategy directly into capital improvement, infrastructure enhancement, training projects, prevention campaigns, and land use and development plans. The following is a list of mechanisms potentially available to each jurisdiction for incorporating the mitigation requirements: Washington County Mechanisms Comprehensive Plan Emergency Operations Plan Continuity of Operations Plan Building Codes and Ordinances Departmental Budgets Jurisdictional Mechanisms Transportation Plans City Budgets Zoning Maps Building Codes and Ordinances Site Master Plans School Districts' Crisis Plans Hospital District Mechanisms Emergency Operations Plan Annual Budget Operational Protocols ADH Medical Countermeasure Plan Acencies and other Organization Mechanisms State of Arkansas Hazard Mitigation Plan Annual Budget Prevention Programs Training Programs Long Term Land Use Plans There has been no incorporation of the hazard mitigation into the above listed plans during this 5-year cycle of mitigation planning but as the above listed plans are updated, jurisdictions will be incorporating mitigation planning into these documents where they will be to the advantage of reducing or eliminating the severity of hazards in Washington County. Page 1213 Participants incorporating the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan into their existing plans will set up meetings to discuss which areas in the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan pertain to them. After these discussions, each incorporating mechanism will be presented before city councils or the quorum court, both of which are open to the public. There, elected officials will vote on whether to adopt the proposed topic to be incorporated. Each incorporating party will monitor the progress of any incorporated mitigation strategies and report the success or failure to the Emergency Operations Council for inclusion in its annual report. After each update of the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan, each incorporating participant will be informed of the changes so they can reflect these changes in their plans also. More specifically, the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan will be incorporated into the State of Arkansas Hazard Mitigation Plan. The risk assessment and mitigation strategies will be incorporated into the State Hazard Mitigation Plan during their updating process every three years. Washington County will be incorporating the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan into the Washington County Emergency Operations Plan and county land use ordinances and/or plans. This process takes place monthly during regular quorum court meetings where quorum court officials vote on county issues. Washington County will encourage local municipalities to address hazards in their comprehensive plans and land use regulations. The Washington County Planning Department will conduct periodic reviews of the jurisdiction's comprehensive plans and land use policies, analyze any plan amendments, and provide technical assistance to other local municipalities in implementing these requirements. Page 1214 In this section: Section 5 PLAN REVIEW, EVALUATION, & IMPLEMENTATION Plan Revisions Reflected Changes Page 1215 Plan Revisions 2020 Update Since the plan was last in place, there has been new development or conditions that have changed or affected the participating jurisdictions' risk and vulnerability. Growth in populationhas increased in all participating jurisdictions except Greenland and Winslow. New development has not expanded into special flood hazard areas as those areas are currently restricted from expansion. Greenland and Winslow's population decrease has lessened their risk and vulnerability to hazards. The closing of the Winslow school has caused their residents to relocate and find employment. The status of completed mitigation actions has been noted in the updated document for each jurisdiction. Any incomplete mitigation actionswere incorporated into the mitigation strategies of this updated plan. The mitigation actions were ranked using a four -category system of very high, high, medium, and low priority. Jurisdictions continued to rank safe rooms among their top priorities. Among all jurisdictions the same hazards that ranked in the very high category of the previous plan continued to rank in the top priorities of this updated plan.
