RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council adopt the Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan for Washington County and the City of Fayetteville (July 2015) in order to remain eligible for Federal Disaster Grants and Loans. BACKGROUND: In the past, federal legislation has provided funding for disaster relief funding, recovery, and some hazard mitigation planning. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (OMA 2000) amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act by repealing the previous Mitigation Planning section (409) and replacing it with new Mitigation Planning section (322). This new section emphasizes the need for State, Tribal, and Local entities to 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 a FEMA approved hazard mitigation plan in order to receive assistance through the Stafford Act, excluding assistance provided pursuant to emergency provisions. DISCUSSION: The Washington County Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan (WCHMP) was created to protect the health, safety, and economic interests of all Washington County residents by reducing the risk of natural hazards. 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 pl an provides a foundation for hazard mitigation adiviti es withi n the muni d pal ities of Washington County. This WCHM P i s al so establ i shed to fulfill federal , state, and I ocal hazad mitigation planning requirements. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), Section 322 (a -d) in accordance with 44 CFR 201.6 requi res I ocal governments to have an approved I ocal mitigation plan as a condition of receiving futurefederal disaster mitigation funds, The Washington County Hazard Mitigation Ran has been updated in its entirety as of 12/15/2014. In the past, federal I egi sl ati on has provided funding for disaster relief, recovery, and some hazard mitigation planning. The Disaster MitigationAct of 2000 (DMA 2000) isthe latest Iegislation to improve this planning process. DMA 2000 amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Rel i of and Emergency Assi stanceAct by repealing the previous Mitigation R anni ng section (409) and reel as ng it with anew Mitigation Raining section (322). This new section emphasizes the need for State, Tribal, and Local entities to d osel y coordinate mitigation planning and implementation Efforts. The new legislation reinforces the i mportance of mitigation planning and emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur. As such, this Act establishes a pre•di salter 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 in order to receive assistance through the StaffordAct, excluding assistance provided pursuant to emergency provisions Development and implementation of the Ran has been aid will be directed by the WCHM P Steering Committee, composed of the Executive Boad of the VVashi ngton County Emergency Services Local Emergency R anni ng Committee (LEPC). The Steering Committee has pointed a Raining Committee, composed of representatives of the municipalities and other stakeholders, to oversee formulation and maintenance of the WCH M P, and to coordinate action items between the involved municipalities. hington County Offi ce of Emergency Management (WCOEM ) i s the agency tasked with supporting the R anni ng Committee in devel opi ng and maintaining the WCHM P I mpl ernenti ng this pl an provi des several benefits to Washi ngton County, its resi dents, and communities, including: Saving lives and protecting property Reducing vul nerabi l i ty to future hazardous events Faci I itati ng post -disaster funding for mitigation assi star Speeding the recovery process after a disaster Improving long-term community health Involving the publ i c i n decisi on -making, and Demonstrating community support for emergency management and hazard mitigation. Washington County, Arkansas Pre.Hazad Mitigation Plan 1 Section 1 I NTRODUCTI ON The Washi ngton County Hazard Mitigation Ran is bei ng developed to assess the ongoing ai (- hazard mitigation activities in Washi ngton County, to evaluate additional mitigation me cures 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 ,rings Farmington, Fayetteville, Goshen, Greenland, Johnson, Lincoln, Prairie Grove, Springdale, Tontitown, West Fork and Winslow, Washington County School Districts —Elkins, Farmington, FayettevilIe, Greenland, Lincoln, Prai riie Grove, Springdale, West Fork, and the University of Arkansas. A map showing the locations of each of these j uri sdicti ons within Washi ngton County isin n the Maps section of this report. Formal adoption and implementation of ahazard mitigation plan presents many benefits to Washington County and its residents. By identifying problems and posy ble sol utions i n advance of a disaster, Washington County and parti a pati ng communities and school districts will be in a better position to obtain pre- and post -disaster funding. Spedfic l l y, the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 establishesa pre -disaster hazard mitigation program and new requirements for the national post -disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMG. It requires that states and communities have a FEMA approved hazard mitigation plan in place prior to reeeivi ng post disaster HMGPfunds. Adoption of this hazard mitigation strategy will also increaseWashington County's eligibility for ass stance from FEMA's Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program. Washington County and participating communitieswill wi l l also gain additional credit points under FEMA's Community Rating System (CRS) program, which provides discounts on National Flood Insurance Program (NFI P) flood insurance premiums for rest dents of communities that voluntarily participate in this program. Most importantly, \N hington County will be able to recover faster and more wi sely from a disaster. Through planning and acting on I ocal mitigation strategies, the city will reduce vulnerability to disasters and identify opportunities for mitigation. In addition, the communities may meet comprehensive pl anni ng and other planning requirements and achieve community goals.

This meeting will provide the publ i c a forum for which the general public can express concerns, opinions, or ideas about the pl an. 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 pl ai, as appropri ate. 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 Ran occurs annually and a five year re-eral uati on meeting occurs every 5 yeas. The County will form a Hazad Mitigation Ran Evai uati on Committee of the existing Washington County Local Emergency R anni ng Committee (LEPC). The L EPC consists of members from fire service, health officals, emergency management, law enforcement, community groups, transportation, hospital personnel, and emergency medi cal personnel, elected off d al s, and owners and operators of covered facilities The Di rector of the Washington County Office of Emergency Management will be the i ni ti al Chair of the commi ttee or R anni ng Team Leader. The R anni ng Team Leader will be responsi bi e for leading these efforts by contacti ng the pi anni ng team committee, setti ng meeting dates, and ensuring that each jurisdiction will sustain a representative on the team. Annual Review Meeting During the annual Hazard Mitigation Ran review meeti ng, commi ttee wi I I 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 Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 17 Section 2 PLANNI NG PROCESS - Mitigation actions will be evaluated to determine the effectiveness of each implemented strategy - Mitigation strategy tables will be updated accordingly The Washi ngton County Office of Emergency M anagement 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 Washington County Department of Emergency Management. 5-yeer Re-evaluation Ming During the 5 year re-evaluation meeting, the committee wi l l meet to ensure that 4l topics in the annual meeting are covered, as wel I as thefollowing: I owi ng: - 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. Al I meeti ng minutes, press ref eases, and other documentation of revi si ons should be kept on record by Washington County Department of Emergency Management. After any revisions necessary Washington County will submit,the Hazard mitigation plan toADEM and FEMA for review and approval.

Risk assessment provi des the foundation for the rest of the ml ti gati on pi anni ng process. The risk assessment process focuses attenti on on areas most in need by evaluating which populations and fad I iti es are most vul nerabi a to al l hazards and to what extent injuries and damages may occur. I t ten I s 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 al so al I ows 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 fi rst step in the risk assessment process. Washington County identified several hazards that, because they pose a si gni f i cant 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 uti Ii zed input from pl anni ng team members, research of newspapers and other hi stori cal records, review of existing plans and reports, discussions with hazard experts, Internet research, the State Mitigation Ran, NOAA severe storm database, and information provided by FEMA and ADEM. The fol I awi ng hazards are assessed in the fol I owi ng parts of this plan: - Severe Storms - High Winds - Tornado - Flood - Dam Failure - Winter Storms - Extreme Temperatures - Wildfire - Drought - Earthquake - Pandemic Previ ous hazards that were omi tied from this p1 an update because, deci ded by the pl anni ng team, they are not natural hazards or no I onger pose as a threat to Washington County i nd ude: soil expansion, cyber, terrorism, HazM at, and utility fan I ure. Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 20 Section 3 Definitions for Classifications RISK ASSESSMENT The fol i owi ng definitions describe how the hazards were d assifi ed throughout the risk assessment in terms of extent.and magnitude. Maximum Probable Extent (Magnitude/ Strength based on historic events or future probability) ❑ Weak: Limited classification on scientific scale, slow speed of onset or short duration of event, resulting in little to no damage Moderate: Moderate classification on scientific scale, moderate speed of onset or moderate duration of event, resulting in some damage and loss of services for days U Severe: Severe classification on scientific scale, fast speed of onset or long duration of event, resulting in devastating damage and loss of services for weeks or months I Extreme: Extreme classification on scientific scale, immediate onset or extended duration of event, resulting in catastrophic damage and uninhabitable conditions The fol I owi ng chart depicts how the extent of select hazards can be d assifi ed as weak, moderate, severe, or extreme.

Severe Storm Vulnerability Analysis The bui I di ngs of the El ki ns school di strict do not have lightning rods. The El ki ns school district, West Fork school district, Prairie Grove school district, Greenland school district, and Lincoln school district have no capability to back-up servers and network equipment. Also, the equi pment they do have does not have surge protection. The lack of battery back-ups and surge protection will increase the probabi I ity of incurring information loss and high fi nand al loss. Some bui Idi ngs in the Springdale school district are struck by I i ghtni ng due to being located in an open area The movement of students outsi de during transi ti onal periods subject them to danger during thunderstorm and I i ghtni ng events. Critical fa i I i ti es in the city of Prairie Grove, Springdale, Goshen, Farmington, West Fork, Tonti town, and the uni ncorporated districts of Washington County lack back-up systems and surge protection. The city of Greenland's City Heil still contains outdated electrical infrastructure and is a building with a leveled roof.

The U nivers ty of Arkansas lacks i mmedi ate response capabi I i ti es for debris removal. The radio tower on campus has been struck by l i ghtni ng during thunderstorm events and remains vul nerabl e. This i ncrmses the potential of communication loss and power outages. Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 52 Section 3 Tornado Hazard Profile RISK ASSESSMENT According to the National Oceanic and AtmosphereAdministration (NOAA), "a tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground." Tornados are usual I y produced by a thunderstorm and formed when cool ai r supersedes a layer of warm air, causing the warm ai r to rise rapidly. At times, vortices remain suspended in the atmosphere as funnel d ouds; however, when the vortex makes contact with the ground, it becomes a tornado. The Enhanced Fuji to Tornado Sc l e measures the wind speed and damage that a tornado produces aid categorizes it by giving it a numeri cal val ue rangi ng from EF0 to EF5, as shown in the table below. This scale demonstrates the possible range of tornado damage for the j uri sdi cti ons within the municipalities of Washington County. Enhanced Fui ita Scale Scale Wind Speed: 3- Description of Damage Range second gust (mph) EF0 65-85 M i nor Damage: Chi mneys are damaged; Some damage to gutters, siding, and roofs; Some tree branches broken; Shal I ow -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 be destroyed. EF2 111-13 Considerable Damage: Roof structures are damaged; foundation of frame houses shifted; mobile homes destroyed; I arge trees snapped or uprooted; debris becomes airborne; I i ght 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 foundati ons bl own away some di stance; most trees in forest are uprooted. EF4 166-200 Extreme Damage to Near -Total Destruction: Well - constructed houses are destroyed; I arge debris becomes ai rborne; some structures are lifted from foundations and bl own some di stance. EF5 Over 200 M assive Damage: Strong frame houses are leveled off foundati ons; steel -reinforced concrete structures critically damaged; high-rise bui 1 di ngs have severe structural deformation; automobile -sized missiles become air borne. Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 53 Section 3 RISK ASSESSMENT Extent AI I participating jurisdictions can experience a tornado range of EF0-EF5, but have general l y experienced a tornado range of EF0-EF3. Past Tornado Occurrences The entire Washington County has experienced 12 tornadoes over the last 10 years. On average, the tornadoes that affected Washington County were between an EF0 and an EF2. In the past 10 years there has only been one tornado with a magnitude of EF3. Over the past 10 years tornadoes have caused 2.4 M i I I i on dolt as' worth of damage throughout the county. The EF3 that occurred took the life of 4 individuals and injured 7 people. However, the other 11 tornado events only resulted in one injury. See Appendix B for past occurrences tables. Future Probability [(Current Year) 2014] subtracted by [(Historical Year) 2004] = 10 Years on Record [(Years on Record) 10] divided by [(Number of Historical Events) 12] =0.833 [ (Number of Hi stori cal Events) 12] divided by [ (Years on Record) 10] =1.2 The historic frequency cal cur ates that there is over 100% chance of a tornado occurring in Washi ngton County every 0.83 years.

Tornado Vulnerability Analysis The Elkins school district, the West Fork school district, the Springdale school district, and the Farmington school district currently do not have an emergency shell ter or safe room for protection during any hazardous weather events The Prairie Grove school district and the Lincoln school district need more safe rooms to adequately protect the growl ng student population and staff during extreme weather. The lack of these structures increases the chance of injuriesandtheIossof life. The Greenl and school district is in an area that has frequent tornado warni ngs and damage. There have been 12 occurrencesin n the lest ten years The a ty of Fermi ngton and the unincorporated districts of Washi ngton County lack safe rooms in county bui I di ngs to protect staff during hazardous weather events The University of Arkansas al so lacks ks safe rooms in the academic buildings, to protect students and staff. The a ty of Prairie Grove possesses only one parti al I y constructed shel ter for the public's use which needs to protect a population of 5000. The a ty of Springdale, Greenland, Goshen, Farmington, and Tonti town currently do not have the c apabiIity to shelter the public during extreme weather. Furthermore, the city of Greenl and, Tonti town, Goshen, and the L i ncol n school district do not have public notification capabilities; they al so lack the capability to educate the public on warning si rens The I ength of time to restore electri d ty and dear roads i n the aty of West Fork creates cascadi ng hazards for the public: i nd udi ng prohibiting functi onal needs populations to properl y store medication and utilizing critic equipment for dally activities and life support. The University of Arkansas does not have emergency response capabilities such sea Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). The lack of these resources hampers priority efforts in response and recovery. Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 82 Section 3 Wind Hazard Profile RISK ASSESSMENT Damaging wi nds that are not associated with rotation are known as straight-line winds. Stra ght-line winds are reported as high winds when they have sustained speeds of *35 knots or greater for at least one hour, or any gust of at least 50 knots (which is defined as a severe wind). These high wind speeds are associated with strong thunderstorms, where they originate in the ran cooled a r downdraft. High wind reports account for half of the severewind nd reports in the U.S. yearly. These damaging winds are also capable of reaching and exceeding 87 knots (100 mph).

Extent Al I participating j uri sdi cti ons can experiencewi nds ranging from 0-12 on the Beaufort scale, but typically experience high winds ranging from 10-12 on the scale. Past High Wind Occurrences In the last 10 years Washington County has experienced three events of high winds that were not part of a thunderstorm. These events did not result in any monetary damage, nor take the life of anyone. Due to the fact that high wind occurrences are reported at the county level, only information reported the county will be used. See Appendix B for past occurrences tables.

Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 86 Section 3 Flood Hazard Profile RISK ASSESSMENT NOAA defines a fl ood as overflow of water onto ordinarily dry land. 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 considered to be flooding. Floods are unpredictable; they can come on fast or take a whi le to bui Id up. They can last days, weeks, or longer. They are the most common and pevasive of any weather -related natural disasters. Also, flooding can occur anywhere wi thi n thej uri sdi cti on that receives ran. The effects of flooding last for longer periods of ti me than flash flooding. A flash flood isa a flood resulting from heavy or excessive rainfall in a short period of time. Flash floods are usually characterized by powerful torrents after substantial ra ns that tear through river beds, urban streets, or mountain canyons sweepi ng away anything i n thei r path. They are capabl a of occurring within minutes or a few hours of heavy rai of al I _ They can even occur if no ran has fa len, for example after the fa l i ng of a I evee or dam. Riveri ne fl ood refers to theflooding ng of a river when a river exceeds its fl ood stage and water spi I Is over the banks of the river. Thi s fl oodi ng can occur during any time of the year and is caused by excessive rain, persistent thunderstorms in the same aea, i ce j am, or combined rai nfal I and snowmelt. A fl oodpl ai n is lowl and. It is a rel ati vely flat to a gently sloping area of land that adjoi ns the channel of a stream, watercourse, or other body of water I i ke a reservoir or a lake that has a possi bi I ity of bei ng covered by fl cod water.

The drainage system within the Spri ngdai a school district needs improvement due to the high rates of fl ash flood incidents it causes. This poses extreme risk for busestransporting ng chi I dren. The Li ncol n school district needs a dry sheltering location out of flood zones and does not have alternate transportation routes during flooding events. Education is not on the safety plan in event of a flood. The Prairie Grove school district ai so needs alternate routes and protective measures for Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 115 Section 3 RISK ASSESSMENT transporting students outs de of thecity ty of Prairie Grove. The EI ki ns school district has a 1 ow area between the middle school and new gymnasi um that floods and becomes hazardous for students. There needs to be a bridge on thelow ow I yi ng area with a surrounding fence to prevent students from accessing the hazardous area The West Fork school di stri c t al so has low elevations that make it suscepti ble to flash flooding. The west side of the maintenance shop of the Fayettevi I I e school district has fl ash flooding during severe weather and heavy rain. The Green) and school district i s I ocated within a I ow lying valley formed by the West Fork of the White River and is highly suscepti bl e to fl ash floods becoming hazardous to students. Flooding in the city of Farmington is problematic. The public library in the city is in a 100 year flood plain but has an elevation certificate. Other public bui I di ngs lack k the same measure. The city of Tontitown does not have the capabi I ity for swift water rescue due to the lack of swift water rescue equipment and swift water training for the search and rescue teams. The city of West Fork, Prai rie Grove, and W4 nsl ow have roads that are I orated in areas that have constant flooding events.

These vibrations that travel through Earth's surface are known as seismic waves. An earthquake originates as a result of a rupture, slippage, or movement of rocks al ong a fault l i ne. When thi s movement occurs al ong the faul t it causes seismic waves to radiate i n al l di recti ons. Seismic waves are recorded on an i nstrument referred to as a sei smograph. Sei smographs record a zig-zag Ii ne that demonstrates the varyi ng ampi itudes of the vi brati ons in Earth's surface beneath the i nstrument. The severi ty of an earthquake i s expressed in magnitude and intensity. Magnitude is related to the amount of the seismic energy at the epi center of the earthquake: The effect the earthquake has on Earth's surface is referred to as the intensity. Currently the Modified M erc al I i (M M) intensity scale i s used to express how the earthquake was observed by peopi e; bui I di ngss 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 i s used to determine the ampl itude of the earthquake at the epi center. Thi s scale is used to categorize the earthquake for reporting processes. The MM scal e is used to see how far the earthquakes intenty was felt and how it affected people in al l directions. Although earthquakes have only one magnitude, they have vai abi e i ntensities that general I y decrease with increasing di stance from the epi center. This fol I owi ng scale demonstrates the poss bl a range of earthquake intensity for the j uri sdi cti ons withi n the muni ci pal i ties 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 persons indoors, especially on upper floors of buildings.

Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 130 Section RISK ASSESSMENT Drought Hazard Profile Drought is "a persistent and abnormal moisture def i ci ency having adverse i mpacts on vegetation, animals, and people" Droughts can be categorized by one of four types: 1) meteorol ogi cal drought, 2) hydrol ogi cal drought, 3) agricultural drought, and 4) sod oeconomi c drought. Meteorological drought occurs when dry weather patterns dominate an area M eteorol ogi cal drought can occur suddenly and end quickly, while hydrol ogi cal drought requi res more time to develop and then recover. Hydrol ogical drought occurs when water supplies are l ow, especially in streams, reservoirs, and groundwater levels, primarily after several months of meteorologi cal drought. Agricultural drought occurs when crops are effected. Sod oeconomi c drought deals with the supply and demand of different commodities to drought. The Drought Monitor summary'map d assifies drought areas by categorizing droughts by the I eve[ of intensity. DO represents areas that are abnormal I y dry that will potenti al I y result in a drought or are drought areas recovering from previous drought conditions. Dl is the least intense category of drought, whereas D4 is the most severe: This scal a demonstrates the possible range of drought for the j uri sdi cti ons wi thi n the municipalities of Washington County.

Drought has the potential to i mpact crops, I ivestock, health, and can create possi bi I iti es 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 i nabi I ity to penetrate the dry and compacted soi I 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 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 10 year period, Washington County has experienced no valued loss, but has the potential to experience a great loss in the future Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 133 Section 3 RISK ASSESSMENT Drought Vulnerability Analysis Farmington school district does not currently have education about grazing and crop rotation. The Farmington school district, Springdale school district, the Fayettevi I I e school district, the Greenl and school district, and Elkins school district does 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 I andscapi ng, i nd udi ng athl eti c fi el ds, of the Springdale school district, Lincoln school district, and Prairie Grove school district would suffer if water had to be rationed. The\A st Fork school district would suffer from critical water shortages, Ieading 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 wild fires 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 a dependent of 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 of 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 Fayettevi l le' s water supply, with only one water linethat ne that enters the ci ty of Elkins. An extended drought in the city of Prairie Grove can lead to diminished water supplies and create water demand in excess of treatment capabilities. The city 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.

When a dam fa Is it send uncontrol I ed amounts of impounded water or waste downstream, causing flooding. A dam fa I ure occurs from a catastrophi c col I apse, overtopping of the dam, or breach. Most dam fa I ures occur when a spi I Iways capacity i s exceeded and the water overtops the dam, or when a dam is poorly constructed and cannot support the excessive flowi ng 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.

Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 137 Section 3 Wildfire Hazard Profile RISK ASSESSMENT A wi I dfi re is any unwanted, unpl armed, damagi ng fire burning in the forest, shrub, or grass and results from I i ghtni ng and humans. Wi Idfi res, often begin unnoticed, spread quickly, and are usual Iy signaled by dense smoke that fi I I s the area for miles around. A wi I dl and fire is a wi l dfi re in an area in which development i s essenti ai Iy nonexistent, except for roads, railroads, power I i nes and si mi I ar fad I i ties. A Wi I dl and -Urban I nterfaoe (WUI) fi re is a wi I dfi re i n a geographi cal area where structures and other human de✓el opment meet or i ntermi ngl a wi th wi ldl and or vegetable fuels. Large amounts of wooded, brush and grassy areas are at highest risk of wi Idfi re. Additionally, areas that have experi enced prolonged droughts or are excessively dry aeaiso at risk of wildfires. Wildland Urban Interface According to the Southern Wi I dfi re Risk Assessment (SWRA) report for the Washington County project area, it is estimated that 88 percent of the total project area population I ive within the WU 1. The Wi ldl and Urban Interface (WUI) layer reflects hour ng density depicting where humans and their structures meet or intermix with wiIdland fuels. The Characteristic Fire Intensity Scale (Fl S) spedfi cal I y identifies areas where significant fuel hazards and associated dangerous fi re behavi or potential exist based on weighted average of four pereenti l e weather categories. Si mi I a to the Richter scale for earthquakes, Fl S provi des a standard scat a to measure potenti ai wi I dfi re intensity. Fire !ntenity Scale Classification Description Class 1. Very Very small, discontinuous flames, usually less than I 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 2, Low 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 protectiva equipment and specialized tools.. Class 3, 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 4, 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, Very Very large flames up to 150 feet in length; profuse short-range High spotting, frequent long-range spotting; strong fire -induced winds. Indirect stack marginally effective at the head of the fire. Great potential for harm or damage to life and property.

Wildfire has the potential to impact crops, I ivestock, forested I and, 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 has the ability to 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. Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 144 Section 3 RISK ASSESSMENT Burns>also have 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 one occurrence of wildfire reported by Washington County, 2014, caused damage to homes in the town of Johnson and resulted in $50,000 in property damage. 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 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, Washington County has experienced low value loss, but has the potential to experience a greater loss in the future. Wildfire Vulnerability Analysis The school districts of Springdale, Farmington, Fayetteville, Lincoln, Greenland, Prairie Grove, West Fork, and Elkins currently does not have fire protection to prevent fires from spreading towards school campuses. Thisieavestheschoolssporting fa litiesaswell as other structural assets at risk of being damaged or destroy. 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 get 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 thesefires res could potentially obsc.,rethe bus driver's vision and put the chi l dren 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 Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 145 Section 3 RISK ASSESSMENT The cities of Fayetteville, Springdale, Prairie Grove, and Lincoln do not have fire breaks arounn • , , ., �t _ _c _.__,_ T+1 -t._:._1:. x..;1..4:... -....:4i.::.. ---✓ '-- 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 wild fires and grass fires. Therefore, they may be forced to request additional resources from neighboring jurisdictions. The cities of Johnson, Winslow, Elkins, and Goshen hasdense 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 damages 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. Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 146 Section 3 Pandemic Hazard Profile RISK ASSESSMENT An epidemic, or an unexpected outbreak, that becomes extremely widespread and affects a whole region, a continent, or the world due to a vulnerable population. Pandemics have the potential to cause a high degree of mortality. Previous Pandemic Occurrences Over the last 10 years Washington County has not experienced pandemic events. Due to the fact that pandemic occurrences are reported at the county Ievel, only information reported the county will be used. Future Probability [(Current Year) 2014] subtracted by [(Historic Year) 20041= 10 Years on Record [(Years on Record) 10] divided by [(Number of Historical Events) 0] = 0.0 [(Number of Historical Events) 0] divided by [(Years on Record) 10] = 0.0 The historic frequency cal culates that the chance of a pandemi c event occurring in Washington County is unlikely, being that no pandemic events have occurred in the past and that there is lees than 1% probability of occurrence in the next year or reoccurring interval greeter than every 100 years.

These tools are val uabl e i nstruments in pre and post disaster mitigation as they faci I itate the implementation of mitigation activities through the current I egal and regulatory framework. These policies, programs, and capabi I i ti es are descri bed in greater detail for Washi ngton County and the parti a pati ng j uri sdi cti ons, as wail as the State and Federal levels. Building Code Building codes regulate construction standards and are deve aped for specific geographic areas of the country. They consider the type, frequency, and intensity of hazards present in the region. Structures bui It to applicable building codes are inherently resistant to many hazards such as strong winds, fl cods, and earthquakes, up to certain I evel s of seven ty. Due to the I ocati on specific nature of thebuilding I di ng codes, these are very valuable tools for mitigation. Zoning Ordinance Zoning is a useful tool to consider when devil opi ng a mitigation strategy. It can be used to restrict new development, require I ow -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 potenti d I y eliminate damages from future hazard events. According to the State Multi -Hazard Mitigation Fl an, all local communi ti es i n the State of Arkansas are encouraged to incorporate mi ti gati on standards in zoning and laid use ordinances. Subdivision Ordinance Subdivision ordinances offer an opportunity to account for natural hazards prior to the development of I and as they formul ate regul ati ons when the I and is subdivided. Subdivision design that incorporates mitigation pri nc pl es can reduce the exposure of future development to hazard events. Special Purpose Ordinance A special purpose ordinance i s a form of zoning in which sped fi c standards dependent upon the special purpose or use must be met. For example, many special purpose ordi nances i nd ude basic devil opmeit requi rements such as setbacks and el evati ens. The community' sfl oodpl ai n management ordinance may be a sped al purpose ordinance. The sped al purpose ordinance i s a useful mitigation technique particularly when implemented to reduce damages associated with flooding. Growth Management Ordinance Growth management ordinances are enacted as a means to control the l ocati on, amount, and type of development in accordance with the larger pl anni ng goals of the j uri sdi cti on. These ordinances often designate the areas i n which certain types of development is limited and Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 153 Section 4 MITIGATION STRATEGY encourage the protection of open space for reasons such as environmental protection and I i mitati on of sprawl. Site PI an Review Requirements Site pi an revi ow requirements are used to eval uate proposed development prior to construction. An i I I ustrati on of the proposed work, including i is I ocati on, si to el evati ons, exact dimensions, existing and proposed bui I di ngs, 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 de✓el opment is not in an identified hazard area and that appropri ate setbacks are included. Comprehensive Ran A comprehensive pl an i s a document which i I I ustratesthe overall vision and goals of a community. It serves as a guide for the community's future and often includes anticipated demographics, I and use, transportation, and actions to achi eve desi red 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 Flan Capital Improvement Plans schedul e the capital spending and investments necessary f or public improvements such as schools, roads, l i brari es, and fi re servi ces. These plans can serve as an important mechanism to manage development in identified hazard areas through limited publ i c spending. Economic Development Ran Economic devel opment plans offer a comprehensive overview of the local or regional economic state, establish policies to guide economic growth, and include strategi es, projects, and initiatives to improve the economy in the future. Economic devei opment plans, si mi I ar to capital improvement plans, offer an opportunity to reduce development in hazard prone areas by encouraging economic growth in areas less suscepti bl e to hazard events. Emergency Response Ran Emergency response plans provide an opportunity for local governments to anti ci pate an emergency and plan the response accordingly. In the event of an emergency, a previ oust y establ i shed emergency response plan can reduce negative effects as the responsi bi I i ti es and means by which resources are deployed has been previously determined. Post -Disaster Recovery Ran A post disaster recovery plan gui des the physi cal , social, environmental, and economi c 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 Washington County. Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 154 Section 4 MITIGATION STRATEGY post disaster recovery plan Is i nd uded as a chapter of the comprehensive pl an. Real Estate Disclosure Ordinance A red estate disclosure ordinance requires individuals sel I i ng real estate to i nform 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 i s determined by eval uati ng whether there are an adequate number of personnel to compl ate mitigation activities, Si mi I arl y, technical capability can be eva uated by assessing the level of knowl edge and technical experti se of local government employees, such as personnel ski I I ed in surveying and Geographic Information Systems. The table below provides a summary of the administrative and technical capabilities currently in place in each participating jurisdiction. The checkma'k (4) indicates that the local government reported ma ntai ni ng a staff member for the given function.

Fl oodpl ain Management By employing fl oodpi ai n management, thejurisdiction uri sdi cti on can protect its citizens against much of the devastating financial loss resulting from flood disasters. Careful local management of devel opment in the fl oodpl ai as results in construction practices that can reduce flood losses and the high costs associated with flood di sasters to all I eves s of government. Surveyors Surveyors gather information that is needed by the city engineers or city projects that involve development or rederel opment. A surveyor records geographic conditions and man-made features as they currently exist. Other noted information might i ad ude: terrai n, drainage, property boundaries and ownership, soil condition, and other physical features. GI S'HAZUS GI S (Geographi cal Information Systems) and HAZU S are powerful resources that the j uri sdi cti ons can be used to identify important facts about the community. GI S technology can be used to improve transparency about sped fi c risks to the community, in community planning and resource management. HAZUS is methodology for estimating potential losses from earthquakes, hurri cane winds and floods. HAZUS uses GI S technology to esti mate physi cal, 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 rel ated duties as assi gned.

All of thejurisdictions uri sdi cti ons but Winslow have the I egal capabi I i ti es or ordinances and codesin n pl ace that might help reduce loss due to a disaster. The j uri sJi cti ons i nd udi ng school districts have a range of staff ₹ra ned or have knowl edge about hazards and thei r impacts. Whi I e some j urisdi cti ons lack an emergency manager in their community, there is the Washington County Emergency M anagement Department that can provide assistance. All parti d pati ng j uri sdi cti ons have f i nand aI resources that can be used towards mitigation. Most of those resources are capital improvement funds or tax bonds Whi I e the city of Johnson and city of Winslow do not have coital improvement funds, they take advantage of uti I i ty fees and state funding programs. All communities in Washington County have local a tizen groups that arewi I I i ng 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 FireWiise community. Some participating j uri sdi cti ons such as Spri ngdal e have incorporated a community wildfire plan, while others such as Lincoln and Pra rie Grove solely utilize burn bans. These j uri sdi cti ons can expand their capabilities by implementing wi I dfi re pl ans. Very few participating j uri sdi cti ons have Emergency Operati ons Fl ans in pl ace. Juri sdi cti ons such as Farmington can further address hazards by generating EOPs and Continuity of Operations PI arms for the city. National Flood Insurance Program National Flood Insurance: In Washington County, 14 j uri sdi cti ons parti ci pate in the Nati oval Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Flood insurance is requi red as a condition of certain types of federal aid and most bank I oans and mortgages for buildings located in the 100 year fI oodpl a n identified on the FEM A Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The table below shows each j uri sdictions' date of entry into the N Fl P their current effective map, the number of policies, and the total amount of coverage.

Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 162 Section 4 MITIGATION STRATEGY 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 11 hazard types posing a risk for the area The actions were sel ected based upon thei r potential effects on the overall risk to I i fe and property (particularly new and existing buildings and infrastructure), ease of implementation, community and agency support, consistency with local j uri sdi cti ons plans and capabi I i ties, and availability of funding. Completed Mitigation Strategies Mitigation actions from the previ ous plan that were compl eted can be found in Appendix C. I ncompl ete miti gati on actions from the previous plan were incorporated into this plan update. Mitigation Action Prioritization. Al I j uri sdi cti ons of Washi ngton County were tasked with prioritizing thei r own mitigation strategies based on several criteria, such as overall benefit to the community, total cost and availability of funding, practicality, community support, and desireof community stakeholders. Each jurisdiction was encouraged to take ownership of this process. The j uri sdi cti onal stakehol dens met with members of the planning team and were instructed about the importance of prioritizing their mitigation strategies based on the factors in the aforementioned paragraph. The planning team recommended the] uri sdi cti onal stakeholders implement a numeri cal ranking system to prioritizetheir mitigation strategies. Under thissystem, a ranking of " 1" was the most important mitigation strategy and then descended in importance thereafter.

Washi ngton County currently gui des and controls devei opment i n 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 capita i mprovement, infrastructureenhancement , training projects, prevention campaigns, and land use and development plans. Thefollowing I owi ng is a I i st of mechanisms potenti a ly avai l abl a to each jurisdiction for incorporating the mitigation requi repents: Washi ngton County Mechanisms Comprehensive Plan Emergency Operations Ran Continuity of Operations Ran Building Codes and Ordinances Departmental Budgets Jurisdictional Mechanisms Transportation Plans City Budgets Zoning Maps Building Codes and Ordinances Site Master Plans School Districts' Criss Plans Hospital District Mechanisms Emergency Operations Plan Annual Budget Operati onal Protocols Agencies and other Organization Mechanisms State of Arkansas Hazard M itigation Plan Annual Budget Prevention Programs Training Programs Long Term Land Use Plans Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 175 Section 4 MITIGATION STRATEGY Participants incorporating the Washi ngton County Hazard Mitigation Ran into their existing plans wi I I set up meetings to discuss which areas in the Washi ngton County Hazard Mitigation Ran pertain to them. After these di scussi ons, each incorporating mechanism will be presented before d ty counci I s or the quorum court, both of which are open to the general public. There, d ected off i ci al s will vote on whether or not to adopt the proposed topic to be incorporated. Each incorporating party wi I I monitor the progress of any incorporated mitigation strategies and report the success or failure to the Emergency Operati ons Cound I for inclusion in its annual report. After each update of the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan, each incorporating parti d pant will be informed of the changes so they can refl ect these changes in their plans also. M ore sped fi cal I y, the Washington County Hazard Mitigation Plan will be incorporated into the State of Arkansas Hazard Mitigation Ran. Therisk sk assessment and mitigation strategi es wi l l be incorporated into the State Hazard Mitigation Han during their updating process every three years Washington County will be incorporating the Washington County Hazard Mitigation PI an into the Washi ngton County Emergency Operati ons Ran and county I and use ordinances and/or plans. This process takes pl ace monthly during regular quorum court meeti ngs where quorum court offi d a] s vote on county i slues. County will encourage local muni ci pat i ti es to address hazards in thei r comprehensive plans and I and use regul ati ons. The Washington County P! anni ng Department will conduct peri odi c revi ews of the j uri sdi cti on' s comprehensi ve plans and land use pol i d es, analyze any plan amendments, and provide technical assistance to other local muni d pa i ti es in implementing these requi rements. Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan ITh In this section: Plan Revisions Reflected Changes Washington County, Arkansas Pre -Hazard Mitigation Plan 177 Section 5 REVIEW, EVALUATION, & IMPLEMENTATION Plan Revisions 2014 Update Since the pl an was l ast in place, there has been neJve development or conditions that have changed or affected the participating jurisdictions' risk and vulnerability. Growth in population have increased in all participating j uri sdi ctions, but Winslow. New development has not expanded to into sped al flood hazard areas as those areas are currently restricted from expansion. Wi nsl ow's population decrease has lessened their risk and vul nerabi I i ty to hazards. The dosing of the school has caused their residents to rel ocate and find employment. The soil expand on hazard was removed from thi spl an update because through I engthy discussion, the planning team decided that there has never been any risks in Washington County due to soil expansion. Other hazards that were not natural hazards such as H azM at, uti I i ty f d I ure, cyber, and terrorism were al so taken out of theplan an as it was di scussed by the planning team that FEM A, as of now, only requi res that natural hazards be i nd uded in the mitigation plan. The University of Arkansas, Fayettevi I I e was also added as a j uri sdi cti on in this pi an update. Risk and capability assessmetswerecompleted for the university and that relevant i nformati on was incorporated into the pl an. Completed mitigation actions can be found in Appendix C. Any incomplete mitigation actions were incorporated into the mitigation strategies of this updated plan. In the previ ous plan, the mitigation acti ons were ranked using a four category system of very high, high, medium, and low priority. In this plan update the method of prioritizing the mitigation strategies has been changed to a numerical ranking system due to the lack of clarity of the previ ous prioritizing system. In the previ ous plan mitigation actions for tornado, wildfire, and flood all ranked in the very high category. Juri sdi cti ons continued to rank safe rooms among their top priorities. Jurisdictions such as Lincoln, Greenl and, Greed and School District, and Winslow prioritized flood actions higher than tornado in their mitigation acti ons, due to a high volume of flood occurrences. Pra ri e Grove ranked wildfire acti ons as number 1 and 2, putting safe rooms at priority 3. The school districts of Farmi ngton, Lincoln, Prig ri e Grove, Spri ngda e, and West Fork continued to make safe rooms the number 1 priority. However, the El ki ns School District ranked generators as their number 1 priority and the Fayettevi I I e School District ranked Pandemi c as number 1. Among all j uri sdi cti ons the same hazards that ranked in the very high category of the previ ous plan continued to rank in the top priorities of thi s updated plan.
