Page vi Executive Summary This Hazard Mitigation Action Plan covers Rains County and the Cities of Emory, East Tawakoni, and Point, for the five-year period of 2012-2017 Natural hazard events have occurred and will continue to occur in Rains County Flooding, tornados, wildfires, and other hazardous events are inevitable Disasters occur when human activity such as buildings, infrastructure, agriculture, and other land uses take place in the path of the forces of nature The occurrence of a natural hazard can result in damages and hardships that impact the physical environment and the economy for several years following the event The governments of Rains County and the Cities of Emory, East Tawakoni, and Point, not have the power to control the inevitable hazard events, but these governments have the power to identify and implement mitigation measures to reduce damage and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the jurisdiction's residents This Hazard Mitigation Action Plan is the result of extensive data collection, discussion, and strategy development It reflects the work of many people Public meetings were held, and additional input from the public, neighboring communities, agencies, businesses, academia, nonprofits, and any interested parties was collected via surveys posted on websites Every documented storm incident for more than 50 years was considered The Hazard Mitigation Planning Team, with members representing Rains County and the Cities of Emory, East Tawakoni, and Point then analyzed the risks faced by the participating jurisdictions, reviewed the provisions of the previous plan, and developed a list of mitigation goals, objectives, and actions, which were presented to the governing bodies of each participating jurisdiction, for consideration and future action This document presents an overview of the natural hazards faced by Rains County and the participating cities; a summary of the risk assessment performed; a list of the participating jurisdictions' goals and objectives, and a description of the mitigation actions that will be taken by the participating jurisdictions to mitigate the anticipated damage from the following natural hazards: Severe Thunder Storms, Winter Storms/Ice Storms, Tornados, Drought, Flooding, Wildfire The Plan also describes how it will be maintained and updated at regular intervals Once an “Approved Pending Adoption” letter has been issued by FEMA, the plan will be adopted by each participating jurisdiction, and supporting documentation such as a signed adoption resolution will be provided by EACH participating jurisdiction and will be attached to the final copy of the plan This completed Plan and any updates will be found on the Rains County website: http://www.countyofRains.com/ 2012 RAINS COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION ACTION PLAN Page RAINS COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION ACTION PLAN INTRODUCTION Natural and man-made hazard events have occurred and will continue to occur in Rains County Flooding, wildfires, tornados, storms, and other hazardous events are inevitable When buildings, infrastructure, agriculture, and other human activities lie in the path of a hazard event, disaster occurs The resulting damage may impact the environment and the local economy for several years Rains County cannot prevent all hazard events, but does have the power to identify and implement mitigation measures to reduce damage and risk to human lives; to better protect the health, safety, and welfare of its residents; and to become a more readily sustainable community PURPOSE FOR THE PLAN AND LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY The increasing public cost of disaster response requires emergency management professionals, elected officials, and the general public to seek ways to reduce the risk associated with all hazards affecting the jurisdictions where they live and work The Hazard Mitigation Planning process resulted from a series of federal and state mandates designed to significantly reduce the impact of various hazards at local levels Authority comes from the Robert T Stafford Disaster Relief and Assistance Act (Public Law 93-288), as amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 The requirements and procedures for State, Tribal and Local Mitigation Plans are found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at Title 44, Chapter 1, Part 201 (44 CFR Part 201) Additional guidance and updated regulations are provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Interim Final Rule dated October 31, 2007 (http://www.fema.gov) Additionally, Texas Executive Order RP-12, signed by Governor Rick Perry on April 3, 2002, established the Emergency Management Council, and designated the Division of Emergency Management to administer and supervise the provisions of the Act, including distribution of HMGP funds This State directive was later modified by Texas Executive Order RP-32, issued on January 28, 2004 By these Executive Orders, the Governor has designated the Mayor of each municipality and the County Judge of each county as Emergency Management Directors for their respective political subdivisions, and authorized each political subdivision to establish inter-jurisdictional agencies by intergovernmental agreement as needed This updated Rains County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan covers Rains County and the Cities of East Tawakoni, Emory and Point (the same participants as in the original plan) Once an “Approved Pending Adoption” letter has been issued by FEMA, the plan will be adopted by each participating jurisdiction, and supporting documentation such as a signed adoption resolution will be provided by EACH participating jurisdiction and will be attached to the final copy of the plan in place of the sample resolution placeholders Copies of the Plan will be available for public review and comment at the Rains County Office of Emergency Management, and on the Rains County website at www.countyofRains.com, as well as at the administration office of each participating municipal jurisdiction, and on the East Texas Council of Governments 2012 RAINS COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION ACTION
