Roll call vote -Ayes: Four. Nays: Three (Morrissey, Feuss, and Grieder). Motion carried. John Childs, 1474 Audubon Drive, shared an experience he had at the intersection of San Marnan and Flammang Drive. He stated that he was getting groceries and witnessed someone cross over the median between Flammang from Alexandra Drive, and on one occasion there was a pedestrian in the median at that time. He stated that, as a member of the Board of Adjustments, he would like to see a sidewalk added to the east side of the street to allow people to get to businesses like Chick-fil-A. Mr. Boesen commented that he believes the medians are very narrow and too dangerous for someone to be standing on. He stated that he supports the ordinance as written today. Mr. Grieder commented that he does not support the ordinance He commented that he does not believe the ordinance is about safety but is actually about panhandling. He explained that zero of the vehicle fatalities that have occurred since 2009 have occurred in this area. He further explained that there is an issue in the area but it could be better solved by sidewalks. He stated that he also has issue with the constitutionality of the ordinance as similar ordinances have been struck down in other states. He explained that the ordinance simply moves the poor out of site so that they are not seen in this location. Mrs. Klein commented that people who contacted her about the ordinance did not comment on the caliber of people standing at the intersection but rather on safety. Mr. Morrissey commented that the city has a solicitation of funds ordinance that outlines specifically how people may solicit funds. He explained that the proposed ordinance is not needed because the solicitation of funds ordinance is not enforced. Mrs. Juon questioned if the new ordinance is needed from a safety standpoint. Page 13 of 728 May 26, 2020 Page 6 Major Joe Leibold confirmed there is a need for a new ordinance and commented that the old ordinance had been reviewed a few times prior to Mr. Petersen joining the city, and the police department was always told the ordinance was unconstitutional and should not be enforced. Marty Petersen, City Attorney, explained that since 2015 many ordinances similar to the solicitation ordinance have been routinely struck down and that is why many cities, including Des Moines, are going to a safety oriented median ordinance Mrs. Juon questioned if the current ordinance should be voided. Marty Petersen confirmed. Mr. Feuss clarified that the ordinance would not prevent individuals from being along the sides of the streets. Mrs. Juon concurred that is her understanding. Mr. Feuss questioned what would prevent people from finding a new location to solicit funds and if the city will end up having a laundry list of locations where soliciting funds is prohibited. Marty Petersen read from a portion of the proposed ordinance addressing the question. Mr. Grieder commented that the second part of the ordinance does list several intersections where the median is six feet and does prevent people from moving there, and believes the city will need to continue to add locations in an effort to stop the behavior. He further commented he continues to have concerns whether this ordinance, if passed, will even hold up. Mrs. Juon questioned if some intersections listed in the ordinance are more than six feet. Marty Petersen commented that in part C, the six streets referenced, he knows that some of the medians are less than six feet, but cannot confirm if all of them are less than six feet. Mr. Grieder commented that the map that was provided to council on April20th, lists all medians at six feet. Mr. Amos questioned if the ordinance passes, will the ordinance prohibit people from panhandling in that area. Mrs. Juon shared her personal experience with pedestrians on the medians and finds it very distracting and dangerous. Captain Matt McGeough commented that a few of the locations listed may be six feet at one point, but narrow down to two feet and there has been an uptick recently in these area. He explained that he has been working on a safety component to this issue for several years. Mr. Morrissey listed several locations where the ordinance does not prohibit individuals from standing in the median.

As a result this digester has been out of service since. One of the first steps towards rehabilitation was to remove the digester #3 cover so an overall condition assessment could be performed. Digest #3 lid removal was performed August 15, 2019. On May 14th, 2020 the City of Waterloo received sealed proposals for the construction of the F.Y. 2020 Wastewater Treatment Plant Digester No. 3 Cover Modifications, City Contract No. 1021. Recommended Action It is recommended that the City Council award this Contract to WRH Inc. of Amana, Iowa for Base bid and Alternative #1 in the total amount of $867,500. This is the last step involved with the rehabilitation of Digester #3. The associated cost for the repair base bid of $819,000 will be funded by insurance coverage by the city's insurance carrier minus deductible cost and the cost for Alt 1 bid of $48,500 will be covered by Sewer Funds.

SAN MARNAN URBAN RENEWAL AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN (AMENDMENT NO. -6 - 20192020) Page 108 of 728 INTRODUCTION The City of Waterloo 2010 Strategic Development Plan states the need to diversify and increase the property tax base by encouraging the retention and expansion and attraction of business and industry. The Comprehensive Plan states that the City should continually explore incentives to encourage development and increase employment that will help the City achieve these goals. Under the present circumstances, there is the need to bring about economic development; i.e., the expansion of existing industry and the attraction of new industry, which will further diversify and increase the property tax base and which will increase employment opportunities. The San Marnan Urban Renewal and Redevelopment Plan presents a proposal for the location of business parks and developments on various lands generally located (a) between San Marnan Drive and U.S. Highway 20 between West 1th Street and Kimball Avenue, (b) between U.S. Highway 20 and Shaulis Road between Ansborough Avenue and just east of Iowa Highway 21, and (c) between San Marnan Drive and Brookeridge Drive between Pheasant Lane and Kimball Avcnucwithin the areas shown in Attachment A and described in Attachment B. The Plan also will allow tax increment revenue to be used as incentives for the development of the area. These incentives would be negotiated and approved on a project -by -project basis at future dates. To achieve the primary objectives of this Plan, the City of Waterloo shall undertake the urban renewal actions as specified in this tax increment plan, pursuant to the powers granted to it under Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, as amended.

Project Budget -8 Page 116 of 728 A. Narrative The San Marnan Urban Renewal and Redevelopment Plan includes the areas as described in Attachment `B". As each project is developed, the City Council may enter into a specific project agreement, which after public hearing will identify the specific financial incentives that may be used on each project. Therefore, a total value on the financial incentives cannot be identified at this time. The following projects will be developed, but specific project budgets cannot be identified as specific locations are not available. However, preliminary budgets for known projects are listed in Attachment "D". 1. Acquisition of property. 2. Tax rebate program. The property tax assessment base on the real estate where a new development and/or redevelopment is completed is frozen. While the frozen amount will be guaranteed to each taxing jurisdiction, the increased tax revenue resulting from the new development may be rebated annually to the developer for up to twenty (20) years. The developer may use these funds in two ways: (1) to pay off private debt incurred in financing the new construction and/or the rehabilitation/renovation of an existing commercial building, or (2) to pay off improvements (street and/or parking improvements, etc.) associated in enhancing the new development and/or the total rehabilitation/renovation project. A specific project agreement will be required for each project. The taxable value must be increased by a minimum of 10% and increase the annual tax by a minimum of $500.00. This program is not applicable to any Self Supported Municipal Improvement District levy, other special tax assessments, the debt service levy, or any other levy exempted from treatment as tax increment financing under applicable law. 3. Project loans and/or grants. 4. Infrastructure such as streets, sewers, parking, streetscape, bridge improvements, skywalks, sidewalks, etc. B. Loans or Grants. The making of loans or grants of public funds to private businesses within the Project Area may be deemed necessary or appropriate for economic development purposes (as defined in Chapter 15A of the Code) and to aid in the planning, undertaking, and carrying out of urban renewal project activities authorized under this San Marnan Urban Renewal and Redevelopment Plan and the Code. In furtherance of the objectives under this San Marnan Urban Renewal and Redevelopment Plan, the City may determine to issue general obligation bonds, -9 Page 117 of 728 tax increment revenue bonds or other such obligations, or to enter into loan agreements for the purpose of making loans or grant funds to private businesses located in the Project Area. Alternatively, the City may determine to use available funds for making such loans or grants. C. Tax Increment Financing. The City intends to utilize tax increment financing as a means to help pay for the costs associated with the development of the Project Area. General obligation bonds, tax increment revenue bonds or other such obligations or loan agreements may be issued by the City. Tax increment reimbursement may be sought for, among other things, the following costs (if and to the extent incurred by the City): 1. The construction of public improvements, such as streets, sanitary sewers, sewage treatment lagoons, storm sewers, parking facilities, water mains, bike trails or sidewalks; 2. The acquisition of land and preparation of same for sale to private developers or for public purposes or public improvements. 3. The making of loans or grants to private businesses under Chapter 15A or Chapter 403 of the Code, including debt service payments on any bonds or notes issued to finance such loans or grants; or 4. Providing the local matching share of CEBA, RISE, or other state, federal, or local grants and loan programs. Nothing herein shall be construed as a limitation on the power of the City to exercise any lawful power granted to the City under Chapter 15A, Chapter 260E, Chapter 384, Chapter 403, Chapter 404, Chapter 427B, or any other provision of the Code in furtherance of the objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan.

Company shall, at its own expense, prepare an updated abstract of title, or in lieu thereof Company may, at its own expense, obtain whatever form of title evidence it desires. If title is unmarketable or subject to matters not acceptable to Company, and if City does not remedy or remove such objectionable matters in timely fashion following written notice of such objections from Company, Company may terminate this Agreement. City shall provide any title documents it has in its possession, including any abstracts, to assist in title preparation. 2. Improvements.

Timeliness of Construction; Possibility of Reverter.

Company shall pay in full, so as to discharge or satisfy, all liens, claims, charges, and encumbrances on or against the Property. If Company fails to deliver such documents, including but not limited to a special warranty deed, to City within thirty (30) days of written demand by City, then City shall be authorized to execute, on Company's behalf and as its attorney -in -fact, the special warranty deed required by this Section, and for such limited purpose Company does hereby constitute and appoint City as its attorney -in -fact. Company and Affiliate further agree that they shall, jointly and severally, indemnify City and hold it harmless with respect to any demand, claim, cause of action, damage, or injury made, suffered, or incurred as a result of or in connection with the Project, their failure to carry on or complete same, or any lien, claim, charge, or encumbrance on or against the Property of any type or nature whatsoever that attaches to the Property by virtue of Company's ownership of same. If City files suit to enforce the terms of this Agreement and prevails in such suit, then Company and Affiliate shall be liable for all legal expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by City. The duties of indemnity pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration, termination or cancellation of this Agreement for any reason. 5. No Encumbrances; Limited Exception. Until completion of the Improvements, Company agrees that it shall not create, incur, or suffer to exist any lien, encumbrance, mortgage, security interest, or charge on the Property, other than such mortgage or mortgages as may be reasonably necessary to finance Company's completion of the Improvements and of which Company notifies City in advance of Company's execution of any such mortgage. Company may not mortgage the Property or any part thereof for any purpose except in connection with financing of the Improvements. 6. Regulatory Approvals.

Resolution adopting the Updated Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan for Black Hawk County, Iowa. Submitted By: Aric Schroeder, City Planner Approval Previously communities have had individual Hazard Mitigation Plans, but with the last update in May of 2015 it was changed to a county wide multi - jurisdiction plan, but it is now set to expire in July of 2020 so is again needing to be updated. Having a Hazard Mitigation Plan (updated at least every 5 years) is a state requirement for funding eligibility for many disaster assistance funds following a presidentially declared disaster. The state is now accepting and encouraging multi -jurisdiction plans, and the jurisdictions within Black Hawk County have been working to develop such a multi - jurisdiction plan, which is now ready for adoption. The plan has already been adopted by Black Hawk County and several other jurisdictions. None. The Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency coordinated the Plan update, and hired INRCOG to develop the update. N/A Hazard Mitigation Planning If we do not approve the Hazard Mitigation Plan, Waterloo's existing plan will expire in July, and Waterloo will not be eligible to receive certain disaster Page 163 of 728 assistance funds in the event of a presidentially declared disaster. Background Information: A full copy of the plan is attached and can also be downloaded from the Iowa Northland Regional Council of Government's (INRCOG's) website.

The following is a list of people who participated in the development of this multi -jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan: Black Hawk County City of Elk Run Heights City of Raymond Lorie Glover Kristi Lundy Nancy Miebach Linda Laylin Gary Wurtz Gary Vick Maureen Mehman Cathy Nicholas City of Evansdale City of Waterloo Rory Geving Troy Beatty Jerome Amos Tony Thompson Chad Deutsch Noel Anderson Kim Veeder Doug Faas Quentin Hart DeAnne Kobliska Jamie Knutson City of Cedar Falls Becky Walters Aric Schroeder John Bostwick Craig Berte City of Gilbertville University of Northern Iowa Rob Green Jane Walters Helen Haire Chase Schrage Teresa Adamson Mark Stephanie Sheetz Thome Cedar Falls Community School District Rick Gersema City of Dunkerton City of Hudson Janelle Darst Dennis Manahl ColleenDamon Michael Schares Chrissi Wiersma Waterloo Community School District Tim Schultz George Wessel Dan Huff Sheila Steffen Brenda Thompson City of La Porte City INRCOG David Neil Lisa Ahern Jane Whittlesey Dan Schlichtmann Brian Schoon 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 170 of 728 3 SECTION I — INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Natural hazards have the potential to cause property loss, loss of life, economic hardship, and threats to public health and safety. While an important aspect of emergency management deals with disaster recovery —those actions that a community must take to repair damages and make itself whole in the wake of a natural disaster — an equally important aspect of emergency management involves hazard mitigation. Hazard mitigation measures are efforts taken before a disaster happens to lessen the impact that future disasters of that type will have on people and property in the community. They are things you do today to be more protected in the future. Hazard mitigation actions taken in advance of a hazard event are essential to breaking the typical disaster cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. With careful selection, hazard mitigation actions can be long-term, cost-effective means of reducing the risk of loss and help create a more disaster -resistant and sustainable community. The Black Hawk County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (M-J HMP) was developed to serve as an updated document to assist in making the planning area (currently the cities of Cedar Falls, Dunkerton, Elk Run Heights, Evansdale, Gilbertville, Hudson, La Porte City, Raymond, Waterloo and the Black Hawk County unincorporated area) less susceptible to these hazards. All participating cities have previously participated in the multi -jurisdictional hazard mitigation plans. This M-J HMP is intended to update the prior plan which expires July 23, 2020. What is a Hazard Mitigation Plan? Generally, the first question asked when communities begin the process of preparing a Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) is very simply "What is a Hazard Mitigation Plan and what is it intended purpose?" First, it is imperative to define what precisely the term mitigation entails. One definition of the term is stated most effectively by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is as follows: "Mitigation is defined as any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property from a hazard event. Mitigation, also known as prevention (when done before a disaster), encourages long-term reduction of hazard vulnerability. The goal of mitigation is to decrease the need for response as opposed to simply increasing the response capability." (www.fema.gov). A hazard mitigation plan is developed by local government(s) before a disaster strikes. The plan identifies local community policies, actions, and tools for on- going, short-, mid-, and long-term implementation to reduce risk and potential future losses of property and lives. Page 171 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 4 Purposes of Hazard Mitigation Planning The following list identifies the importance of conducting hazard mitigation planning: • To facilitate the protection of the health, safety and economic security of residents, workers, visitors and property owners by mitigating the impacts of natural and manmade hazards. • Influence decision making in both the public and private sectors. • Fulfill statutory requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 — as of November 1, 2004 a community must have a FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible for FEMA project grant monies under programs such as the Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant program (FMA), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Pre -Disaster Mitigation Grant program (PDM), Severe Repetitive Loss Grant program (SRL), Repetitive Flood Claims Grant program (RFC), and certain categories of aid under the Public Assistance Grant program (PA). • Fulfill contractual obligations under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). • Receive credit under the Community Rating System (CRS). WHAT IS A MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN? A multi -jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan is a plan jointly prepared by more than one local government or jurisdiction. Local jurisdictions have the option to participate in a multi -jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan under the Disaster Mitigation Action of 2000 (DMA 2000). A local government is defined by Title 44 Part 201 Mitigation Planning in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as "any county, municipality, city, town, township, public authority, school district, special district, intrastate district, council of governments (regardless of whether the council of governments is incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under State law), regional or interstate government entity, or agency or instrumentality of a local government; any Indian tribe or authorized tribal organization, or Alaska Native village or organization; and any rural community, unincorporated town or village, or other public entity." The Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan planning area includes the following local governments that participated in the planning process: Black Hawk County unincorporated area; plus the cities of Cedar Falls, Dunkerton, Elk Run Heights, Evansdale, Gilbertville, Hudson, La Porte City, Raymond, and Waterloo. Requirement §201.6(b): In order to develop a more comprehensive approach to reducing the effects of natural disasters, the planning shall include: 1) An opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval; 2) An opportunity for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities, and agencies that have authority to regulate development, as well as businesses, academia and other private non-profit interests to be involved in the planning process; and 3) Review and incorporation, if appropriate, of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information. Requirement §201.6(c)(1): [The plan shall document) the planning process used to develop the plan, including how it was prepared, who was involved in the process, and how the public was involved. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 172 of 728 5 Benefits of Multi -Jurisdictional Mitigation Planning The following bulleted statements identify the many benefits for jurisdictions that participate in the multi - jurisdictional mitigation planning. • Enables comprehensive approaches to mitigation of hazards that affect multiple jurisdictions; • Allows economies of scale by leveraging individual capabilities and sharing costs and resources; • Avoids duplication of efforts; and • Imposes an external discipline on the process. PLANNING PROCESS With support of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors and participating City Councils, Black Hawk County applied for, and received, a FEMA HMGP Grant for the development of this updated Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (M-J HMP) to replace all the individual hazard mitigation plans. Implement the Plan & Monitor its Progress Hazard Mitigation Planning Process Establish Mitigation Goals & Actions Organize Resources Identify & Assess Hazards FIGURE 1: HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING PROCESS The planning process for this HMP involved a variety of local decision makers and stakeholders within the planning area. The planning leaders were able to customize the process to meeting the needs of the municipalities. The process was developed around the requirements laid out in FEMA's Local Mitigation Planning Handbook (March 2013), Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide (October 2011), and Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for Reducing Risk to Natural Hazards (January 2013). Figure 1 illustrates the key steps in the hazard mitigation planning process and the specifics of each planning step are provided below. Step One: Organize Resources The first step in developing the Multi -Jurisdictional HMP was to bring together a group of people with a variety of knowledge and backgrounds from all jurisdictions within the planning area, yet all having some connection to the goal of hazard mitigation. 1 Requirement §201.6(a)(3): Multi jurisdictional plans (e.g., watershed plans) may be accepted, as appropriate, as long as each jurisdiction has participated in the process...Statewide plans will not be accepted as multi jurisdictional plans. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 173 of 728 6 Multi -Jurisdictional Planning Participation The Planning Committee was formed with the cooperation of the BlackHawk County Emergency Management Commission. Working in conjunction with Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governments (INRCOG), Black Hawk County, Cedar Falls, Dunkerton, Elk Run Heights, Evansdale, Gilbertville, Hudson, La Porte City, Raymond, Waterloo, the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), and the Cedar Falls Community School District developed a list of departments and positions they determined would best represent the knowledge base required to begin the planning process. The idea was to first establish a base committee and then invite other organizations and/or individuals as necessary. This initial group of people encompassed individuals representing local government, law enforcement, fire and rescue, local emergency management, public utilities, UNI, Cedar Falls Community School District, local non -profits and service providers, area employers, railroads, insurance, real estate, and citizen volunteers. Once established, this assembly was considered the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee. Table 1 lists the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee members. This list also includes individuals who have provided additional support and updates on specific hazard mitigation actions after the committee meetings took place. The list does not include INRCOG staff. INRCOG organized meetings in conjunction with the County Emergency Management Coordinator. All sequential meetings were determined at committee meetings. Several additional conversations were made with individual jurisdictions as to the updates for their community. INRCOG was also responsible for compiling information and preparing the final document. Beyond this core group of individuals, public notices for all committee meetings were published in the local newspaper, within the planning area, to inform neighboring communities, agencies, businesses, academia, nonprofits, and other interested parties (including surrounding communities) and residents Black Hawk County City of Raymond City of Raymond Lorie Glover Nancy Miebach Nancy Miebach Linda Laylin Gary Vick Gary Vick Maureen Mehman District Cathy Nicholas Rick Gersema City of Waterloo Rory Geving Janelle Darst Jerome Amos Tony Thompson Noel Anderson Quentin Kim Veeder City of Evansdale Hart Troy Beatty Jamie Knutson City of Cedar Falls Chad Deutsch Aric Schroeder John Bostwick DeAnne Kobliska Craig Berte Becky Walters Rob Green University of Northern Chase Schrage City of Gilbertville Iowa Stephanie Sheetz Jane Walters Helen Haire Teresa Adamson City of Dunkerton Mark Thome Cedar Falls Dennis Manahl Community School Michael Schares City of Hudson District Tim Schultz Colleen Damon Rick Gersema Sheila Steffen George Wessel Janelle Darst Brenda Thompson Chrissi Wiersma Waterloo Community City of Elk Run Heights City of La Porte City School District Kristi Lundy David Neil Dan Huff Gary Wurtz Jane Whittlesey INRCOG City of Evansdale Lisa Ahern Troy Beatty Dan Schlichtmann Chad Deutsch Brian Schoon DeAnne Kobliska Becky Walters 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 174 of 728 7 of the planning process and to invite all interested parties to attend and contribute to the development of the plan. Prior to the adoption of the M-J HMP, each jurisdiction advertised and held public hearings. Public notices and public involvement materials can be found in Appendix M. At each committee meeting, each jurisdiction was tasked with reviewing their previous HMP information; updating, developing, and providing new community fact information; updating, identifying, and rescoring their hazards; reviewing, discussing, and updating their previous mitigation activities; and reprioritizing the activities. All activities that were completed from the previous plans were marked as such and were omitted from this Plan (see Appendix L for a complete list of previous mitigation activities and their identified status). If a jurisdiction wasn't present at a meeting, meeting materials were emailed and completed by said jurisdiction and returned to INRCOG for placement in the document. Committee Meetings rib Location Group Date Topic Black Hawk County Emergency Management Room Planning Committee 9/19/2019 Introductions, Purpose of HMP, Updating Community Profile, Updating Hazard Analysis/Risk Assessment, Updating Hazard Analysis/Risk Assessment Black Hawk County Emergency Management Room Planning Committee 10/17/2019 Review Hazard Analysis/Risk Assessment, Update Goals, Update Mitigation Action/Activities Various City Departments Various Review Mitigation Action/Activities, Reprioritize Action / Activities Black Hawk County Emergency Management Room Planning Committee 3/20/2020 Review Draft Plan Individual Jurisdictions Councils and Boards Various Adoptions Requirement 4201.6(c)(5): For multi jurisdictional plans, each jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan must document that it has been formally adopted. Three public meetings were held at the Black Hawk County Emergency Management building on various dates, during the HMP planning process. Each meeting was open to all residents and stakeholders in the planning area, as well as neighboring communities. These meetings were advertised in the local newspaper, the Waterloo -Cedar Falls Courier, to all jurisdictions in Black Hawk County. The newspaper's distribution also extends beyond Black Hawk County, so neighboring cities and counties also received notice of the meeting. Attendance for each meeting was documented and can be found in Appendix M. While public participation was minimal among individuals not employed or elected by the jurisdictions they represent, committee members are nonetheless members of the public intrinsically. Input from the meeting participant not employed or elected by any jurisdiction was incorporated into the plan just as input from any other committee member. Table 2 provides a list of the public meetings. All meetings, except for the Board of Supervisors and City Council meetings, started at 4:00 p.m. All public meetings were held in accordance with Open Meetings Laws as outlined in Chapter 21 of the State Code of Iowa. Multi -Jurisdictional Plan Adoption Once the Committee's feedback was addressed, a final draft MJ-HMP was prepared and sent to each jurisdiction's governing body along with a resolution for 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 175 of 728 8 adoption. Upon the first adoption, the final draft HMP was submitted to Iowa Homeland Security and FEMA for their review and feedback; at which time the draft was presented to the remaining governing bodies, including the School Board of the Cedar Falls Community School District and the University of Northern Iowa, for their adoption as well. Resolutions can be found in the Appendices. Current & Previous Planning Documents Used In addition to information obtained through the series of Committee Meetings, INRCOG also investigated other previously prepared documents in order to garner supplementary relevant information and contacted each jurisdiction for relevant information. These documents and data include: • Previous Hazard Mitigation Plans for Cedar Falls, Dunkerton, Elk Run Heights, Evansdale, Gilbertville, Hudson, La Porte City, Raymond, Waterloo and the Black Hawk County (Appendix L); • 2010 Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan and Comprehensive Emergency Plan; • 2015 Black Hawk County Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan; • Plans, studies, reports, maps and technical information that were not available five years ago, including updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps and data; • Documentation of communities' current status in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and Community Rating System (CRS); • Repetitive Loss Properties and /or Severe Repetitive Loss Properties information from FEMA; • Reports of disaster and other hazard events that occurred within the past 5 years from available sources; • Documentation of changes in the communities that impact vulnerability of structures and populations; and • Documentation of mitigation projects and activities undertaken over the past 5 years. Step Two: Identify & Assess Hazards Identify and Profile Hazards First, through the planning process the hazards that pose a risk to the entire planning area, as well as unique hazards for each jurisdiction, were reviewed, identified, and updated. Second, an updated assessment of the hazards was conducted that took into account historic occurrence, the number of people that would be or were impacted, the area of the planning area that was or would be affected, potential costs that the planning area, individuals, and organization have or may incur, the likelihood of future occurrence, and the amount of warning time before and event occurs. An updated composite score for each hazard was developed based on these factors. This process used information from previous and current hazard mitigation plans within the planning area, as well as the State of Iowa's hazard mitigation plan. Vulnerability Assessment An updated vulnerability assessment was conducted to identify: repetitive loss structures and repetitive loss properties and populations located in the identified Page 176 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 9 hazard areas; inventory of existing and proposed buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located within identified hazard area boundaries; estimating potential losses; and analysis of development trends. Step Three: Establish Mitigation Goals & Actions (Action Plan) Once Step Two was completed, an updated capability assessment was conducted on local municipalities' existing policies, practices, programs, regulations, and activities that either increase or decrease the planning area vulnerability to the identified hazards. Through this assessment, areas that can be improved upon were identified and developed into "action steps." Early in the planning process meeting attendees identified updated broad goals that briefly stated what the plan should attempt to accomplish. Every action step should, if implemented, work toward one or more of the goals of the plan. An action step may suggest continuing a current mitigation effort or propose a new project altogether. Many of the identified action steps were projects that the local jurisdictions could independently accomplish. Other identified projects included efforts that either require the cooperation of two or more entities, or would not include the local jurisdiction at all. The intention is that each action step is considered at least on an annual basis. In order to increase the likelihood each jurisdiction implements the plan, each action step identifies the parties that would most likely be responsible for completing an annual review of that step. During this step, the previous hazard mitigation plans for the planning area were consulted as a starting point in identifying goals and action steps. Step Four: Implement the Plan and Monitor Progress Finally, once the hazards have been assessed, mitigation steps identified, and the action steps have been prioritized, the updated MJ-HMP makes suggestions for implementation and makes estimates as to the costs of implementation. Some proposed projects are small in scope and thus relatively low cost. However, other projects are broad in nature and would require more funding than the local jurisdiction can reasonably provide. Therefore, the final piece of the plan suggests methods to implement the plan, how to keep the public involved, and what steps should be taken by local jurisdictions to ensure that the concept of hazard mitigation is always a priority. When implemented appropriately, mitigation projects can save lives, reduce property damage, is cost-effective, and environmentally sound. This, in turn, can reduce the enormous cost of disasters to property owners and all levels of government. In addition, mitigation can protect critical community facilities, reduce exposure to liability, and minimize disruption. Page 177 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 10 SECTION 2 — COMPOSITE COMMUNITY PROFILE PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES Location Black Hawk County is located in the Northeastern quadrant of the State of Iowa. The County includes a number of incorporated cities including, in alphabetical order, Cedar Falls, Dunkerton, Elk Run Heights, Evansdale, Gilbertville, Hudson, La Porte City, Raymond, and Waterloo. The Cities of Jesup and Janesville also have small portions of their incorporated limits that fall within the borders of Black Hawk County. Please refer to Map 1 in Appendix J for a location map of the county, which includes the locations of the aforementioned communities. The most visible geographic feature within the County is the Cedar River, which flows from the northwest corner to the southeast corner of the County; in essence dividing the community into two fairly equal halves. The river has been a major factor in the historical development of the area and either passes through or borders four of the aforementioned incorporated cities. Please refer to Map 2 in Appendix J for a topographic representation of the county. The County itself encompasses a total area of approximately 567 square miles. The population is the fourth largest in the state with 132,960 residents (2017 ACS). Most of this population falls within the Waterloo/Cedar Falls metropolitan area, with only 11,097 residents living in the unincorporated areas of the County. History It is believed the first non -Native American to visit Black Hawk County was a Frenchman named Gervais Paul Somaneaux. He came during the spring of 1837, left during the winter, and returned about ten years later to settle in Cedar Falls, where he lived until his death in 1850. Black Hawk County was created in 1843 by the Territorial Legislature of Iowa and attached to Delaware County for judicial, election, and revenue purposes, because there were few, if any, white settlers at that time. The Sauk and Fox (Meskwaki) Indians had lived here for many years, owning the area until 1837. The County was named after the renowned Sauk Chief Black Hawk, although he never lived here. Since there were no residents in the county at the time of its birth, it was attached to Delaware County for administration purposes. Settlers started arriving in 1844. In 1845, the administration of Black Hawk County was transferred from Delaware County to Benton County. The year 1845 brought with it the first settlers to what would eventually be the county seat, Waterloo. George and Mary Hanna, along with their family were the first to arrive in Waterloo, then known as "Prairie Rapids Crossing." In the summer of 1846 two more families arrived, the Virdens and the Mullans. Charles Page 178 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 11 Mullan was able to obtain seven signatures on a petition in order to get a post office designation for the community. Mr. Mullan felt that the name Prairie Rapids Crossing was too burdensome for a mailing address. As a result, the name of the settlement was changed to Waterloo. The census of 1850 found 26 families in Black Hawk County. The 135 people included 75 males and 60 females. Four children attended the county's first school. In the same year, Andrew Mullarky opened "The Black Hawk Store" in Cedar Falls, and the county's first post office opened. Following another administrative transfer in 1851, this time to Buchanan County, the legislature passed an act allowing the county to organize its own government and elect officers in 1853. At the same time, the counties of Bremer, Grundy and Butler were administratively attached to Black Hawk County. The act also formed a commission to fix the seat of justice for the county. Cedar Falls (then called Sturgis Falls), as the county's largest town, was selected. Waterloo eventually became the county seat after residents persuaded the legislature to permit a countywide election to decide between the two cities. The election favored Waterloo, 388-260. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT Black Hawk County's terrain is generally a flat to rolling slope topography that characterizes the agricultural areas of northeast Iowa. There are several areas of steeper than normal slope with these being dispersed throughout the county adjacent to watercourses. The highest point in the county lies at approximately 1,040 feet above sea level and is located near the unincorporated community of Voorhies. Another high point, approximately 1,008 feet above mean sea level is recorded three miles north of the City of Dunkerton. Conversely, the lowest point in the county is located in the extreme southeastern corner near the Cedar River. Soils About 72 percent of Black Hawk County is cropland; 20 percent is urban land; 5 percent is used for recreational activities; 2 percent is woodland; and 1 percent is permanent pasture. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service, there are seven soil type associations in the county: • Dinsmore-Klingmore-Maxmore (4%) — Level to gently sloping loess soils that are moderately well drained, somewhat poorly drained, and poorly drained • Dinsdale-Klinger-Maxfield (11%) — Level to moderately sloping loess soils that are moderately well drained, somewhat poorly drained, and poorly drained • Kenyon -Clyde -Floyd (34%) — Level to steep loamy soils that are moderately well drained, somewhat poorly drained, and poorly drained • Readlyn-Tripoli (6%)— Nearly level loamy soils that are somewhat poorly drained and poorly drained • Sparta-Finchford-Saude (23%) — Level to moderately sloping eolian sands and alluvium soils that are excessively drained and well drained • Coland-Spillville (11%) - Level to nearly level alluvium soils that are somewhat poorly drained and poorly drained • Marquis -Clyde -Floyd (11%) — Level to gently sloping loamy soils that are moderately well drained, somewhat poorly drained, and poorly drained Page 179 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 12 Climate The climate is characterized as having cold snowy winters with humid hot summers. The climate is located in the polar front zone, the battleground of polar and tropical air masses. Being far removed from moderating influences of a large body of water, seasonal contrasts are quite distinctive and weather highly variable. Ample precipitation throughout the year is increased in the summer by invading maritime tropical air masses from the Gulf of Mexico. Cold winters are dominated by continental polar masses from the arctic regions. The annual precipitation ranges from about 31.5 inches to 32.5 inches. Approximately 71 percent of a year's precipitation falls during the months of April to September. Precipitation can be expected to exceed one-half inch or more 20 days per year, or one -tenth inch or more 56 days a year. Precipitation can occur in amounts of multiple inches within one hour or less during intense rainstorms. These storms, usually associated with extreme humidity, are capable of causing extensive damage to infrastructure. Often times it is the intensity of these rainstorms that are as telling as the frequency or duration. An extremely intense rainfall can render detention basins and small streams useless due to the extreme speed of onset of surface flow. The annual temperature range is large, typical of a continental climate, with January, the coldest month, averaging 18.6 degrees Fahrenheit. July is the warmest month averaging 74.3 degrees Fahrenheit. Vegetation The vast majority of rural Black Hawk County is planted or sowed to corn and soybeans. Grass and brush are present in uncultivated and undeveloped areas of the county. Trees and grasses are often incorporated with otherwise urbanized areas in the county for aesthetics, shade, or erosion control. There are problems associated with cultivation methods used in the rural areas of the county. The high percentage of cultivated land and the relatively low percentage of conservation methods used in farming cause excessive runoff to occur during rain events. This can lead to problems that are discussed later in this plan, specifically erosion and silting in and around bridges and drainage ditches.

The Cedar River enters the county in the northeast near the City of Janesville. The river flows diagonally through the county from northwest to southeast and eventually exits the county in the extreme southeast corner. A list of streams in Black Hawk County is listed in Table 3. It should be noted however that this is not an all-inclusive list, as many smaller streams and tributaries, many of which have not been named, are not included below. INFRASTRUCTURE Transportation Black Hawk County has within its boundaries a variety of transportation systems. These systems include highways, multi -use trails, gravel roads, blacktop roads, and interstate highways. There is a total of approximately 139 miles of state and federal roadways in the county. These roadways include one Interstate system; I-380. Federal Highways that pass through the community include United States 20, 63, and 218. State Highways present in Black Hawk County include Iowa 21, 57, 58, 175, and 281. In addition to the State and Federal Highway systems, the County maintains 526 miles of gravel roads and 246 miles of hard surface roadways. The County also owns and maintains 311 bridges. Air travel is an important form of transportation and several airports are present throughout the county. Although there are several small private runways, the largest and only commercial airport is the Waterloo Municipal Airport. The airport provides service to private and commercial aircraft. Commercial airlines providing service at the Waterloo Regional Airport include Northwest Airlink, Northwest Airlines. The Waterloo Regional Airport has the fourth longest runway in the state at 8,401 feet. In addition to the commercial airport, there are also a number of small privately -owned airports located throughout rural Black Hawk County. The newest form of transportation being developed in Black Hawk County is the multi -use trails. The trail systems in the county (incorporated areas included) already run for approximately 75 miles. This total included 15 miles of the Cedar Valley Nature Trail, which extends approximately 52 miles and crosses three counties. The trail system is an ever -evolving system. Efforts are made on an annual basis to either extend the trails to new areas or to improve existing trails. Potable Water Systems Additional information for each city can be found in Appendices A -I. Page 181 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 14 Wastewater Treatment Facility and Collection System There are several wastewater treatment facilities in the planning area: the Easton Avenue Treatment Plant in Waterloo, the Satellite Treatment Plant in Waterloo, the Water Reclamation Facility in Cedar Falls, the Evansdale Waste Water Plant, the Gilbertville Waste Water Plant, the Hudson Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Elk Run Heights Wastewater Treatment Plant, and the La Porte City Wastewater Treatment Plant. Studies are underway to determine the feasibility of a regional waste water treatment system. General information on each community's wastewater treatment system can be found in the Appendix section. In rural, unincorporated areas, the primary means of disposing sewage is by individual, on -site septic systems. These on -site systems include tanks and septic fields for disposal of household sewage. The County Environmental Health Program regulates private on -site waste treatment system, provides new septic system inspections, and reviews waste treatment plans in connection with rezoning and subdivision requests in the County. Storm Water Systems The metropolitan area of Black Hawk County handles storm water largely through a system of storm drains. Each city has its own program for managing storm water pollution including fines for unlawful discharges into the system. Rural and unincorporated areas of the county rely on open ditches to handle storm water. Other Utilities The table on the next page lists the utility providers for the planning area.

As is evident in the table, the County has fewer people than it did at its peak in 1980. After its decline throughout the 1980s, the population of Black Hawk County has grown steadily since 1990. As of 2017 American Community Survey, the population was 132,960. Waterloo is the largest city and county seat of Black Hawk County, with a population of 68,416 in 2017. The second largest city is Cedar Falls with 41,167 residents in 2017. The remaining juristictions in Black Hawk County have much lower populations. Table 6 shows the change in population from the 2010 Census to the 2013-2017 ACS. There are slight changes by City, with the largest population growth occuring in Cedar Falls and a modest overall growth countywide.

While some projections use some of this data in order to estimate future population, they cannot plan for unknown events, such as drastic changes in employment opportunities or the perilous effects of natural disasters. The following projections are provided by the Washington D.0 based firm, Woods & Poole Economics, whose methodology for county projections is based upon several factors: population trends, income levels, employment by industry, earning by industry, inflation rates and net migration rates.

Given the planning area's population trends, it is projected the area will continue to experience an increase in population over the next twenty years. It is 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 184 of 728 17 important to note that these projections are just estimates based on past trends and other factors that could vary in the future. Many variables can affect an area's growth and/or decline in population. Nevertheless, projecting population can give some idea as to how to plan for the future. Housing and Development Trends According to 2017 ACS data, there are 57,300 total housing units in the County (Table 8). Of these units, 34,857 are owner -occupied, 17,954 are renter occupied, and 4,489 are vacant. During a flood or tornado event, certain housing types are more vulnerable to damage than others. In addition, residents of certain housing units also face a higher risk during these events. Some examples of these housing units include mobile homes, multi -unit apartment buildings, and group quarters (e.g. nursing homes, correctional facilities, dorm rooms). According to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2013-2017 American Community Survey, there are 13,162 housing units in multi -unit apartment buildings and 2009 mobile homes in Black Hawk County. In addition, there are 5,967 people living in group quarters. The average household size for Black Hawk County is 2.4 persons. Age of Housing Approximately 44.7 percent of the housing units in Black Hawk County were built in 1959 or earlier. In the decades following, the 1970s saw the largest number of houses being built. The 1980s witnessed a dramatic decline in the number of houses being built. Table 8 shows the number of structures built in each decade since 1939 as well as the number built before that time. The numbers represented in Table 8 encompass all houses within the county, including incorporated areas.

Figure 2 on the next page represents the distribution of housing values in Black Hawk County at the time of the 2013-2017 American Community Survey. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 185 of 728 18 Economy Income According to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey, there were a total of 52,811 households located within the planning area. Among these households, the median income was $50,916, meaning that half of the households earned more than $50,916 and half earned less than $50,916. Among the planning area's households, income was mostly derived from wages and salaries. A total of 78 percent of households received income in this form. Other forms of income include social security benefits, retirement income, and public assistance programs. 30 percent of households in Black Hawk County receive income from Social Security and 20 percent receive retirement income. The poverty level in Black Hawk County is 10.3 percent for families and 16.5 percent for individuals. At the time of the survey, 13.3 percent of households in Black Hawk County receive Food Stamp/SNAP benefits, 4.5 percent receive Supplemental Security Income, and 3.6 percent receive cash public assistance income. Figure 3 shows the income distribution for Black Hawk County. Employment Sectors At the time of the 2013-2018 American Community Survey, there were 67,444 persons, aged 16 years and over, in the labor force. The largest industry in Black Hawk County by number of workers is "education services, and health care and social assistance" with 24.2 percent of the employed civilian workforce, followed by manufacturing at 17.7 percent and retail trade at 13.0 percent. 10000 8000 6000 4000 2000 0 Number of Housing Units by Value in Black Hawk County ctiD'c a� ce age age �)c) (§ c) tia'o)(,) % gF) egg °°c yy a� e o°o°' o°° a°°°` o°°°` o°°°" 6i° FIGURE 2: VALUE OF HOUSING IN PLANNING AREA Number of Households by Annual Income in Black Hawk County 12000 - 10000 - 8000 - 6000 - 4000 2000 0- o ai 4,50, � 6i e oYo ��o ��° h�o °°°° h�o R°° °oo oo 4 " ' 4�' t3 ' `�, 41 ' 0p, ,�''`a°' Tar FIGURE 3: HOUSING VALUE 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 186 of 728 19 Black Hawk County's ten major employers are listed below on Table 10.

The goal of the risk assessment is to estimate the potential loss in Black Hawk County, including loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and economic loss, from a hazard event. The risk assessment process allows the community to better understand their potential risk to various hazards and provides a framework for developing and prioritizing mitigation actions to reduce risk from future hazard events. The risk assessment follows the methodology described in the FEMA publication 386-2, Understanding Your Risks: Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses (2002), which includes a four -step process: • Identify Hazards • Profile Hazard Events • Inventory Assets • Estimate Losses Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(i): [The risk assessment shall include a] description of the ...location and extent of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. The plan shall include information on previous occurrences of hazard events and the probability of future hazard events. Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(iii): For multi jurisdictional plans, the risk assessment must assess each jurisdiction's risks where they vary from the risks facing the entire planning area. Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(i): [The risk assessment shall include a] description of the type...of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. This section is divided into three parts: hazard identification, hazard profiles, and vulnerability assessment: • Hazard Identification identifies the hazards that threaten the planning area and describes why some hazards have been omitted from further consideration • Hazard Profiles discusses the threat to the planning area and describes previous occurrences of hazard events and the probability of future occurrence. • Vulnerability Assessment assesses the total exposure to natural hazards, considering critical facilities and other community assets at risk, and assessing growth and development trends. Hazards that vary geographically across the planning area are addressed in greater detail. Page 188 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 21 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION In order to properly identify mitigation strategies and projects, the hazards that may affect the planning area must be identified and/or updated. The following section lists the potential hazards to the planning area that were identified by the Planning Committee. This section also discusses previous occurrences of the hazards, the areas of the planning area most at risk from each hazard, and the populations most at risk. By identifying the hazards and quantifying the risks, the planning area can better assess current mitigation strategies, develop future mitigation strategies and identify needed mitigation projects. The hazard analysis identifies potential hazards that could affect the planning area for the purposes of mitigation planning. It is important to note that the focus of mitigation is on reducing long-term risks of damage or threats to public health and safety caused by hazards and their effects. Thus, in some cases the hazards identified for mitigation will not include all of or the same hazards identified for preparedness, response or recovery. The Committee reviewed the hazards identified in the current hazard mitigation plan, and the 2018 Iowa Hazard Mitigation Strategies. Hazards were considered for elimination if there was no historical occurrence and Committee members determined there was no chance of occurrence in the future. However, the Committee decided to retain all the hazards contained in the previous plan, although some hazards were combined due to their relatedness with other hazards and as an effort to streamline the plan document. To comply with requirements CFR 201.6(c)(2)(i), the risk assessment must include a description of the location and extent of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. Natural hazards include those that "are a source of harm or difficulty created by a meteorological, environmental, or geological phenomenon or combination of phenomena (U.D. Department of Homeland Security Risk Lexicon, 2010). "Natural" hazards do not include biological hazards, such as disease. However, additional hazards were also identified in this multi -jurisdictional plan based on their occurrence since the previously approved plans were adopted or that may occur in the next five years. The 2018 Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan identified the hazards as identified in Table 11. Hazards identified for Black Hawk County and its communities are listed in Table 12.

The discussion will include known historical occurrence, probability of future occurrence, magnitude/severity, warning time, and duration. The overall average results of the Committee's scoring efforts will be provided following this discussion, under Vulnerability Assessment. The individual community scores can be found in each respective appendix. Disaster Declaration History One method used by the HMPC to identify hazards was to examine events that triggered federal and/or state disaster declarations. Federal and/or state declarations may be granted when the severity and magnitude of an event surpasses the ability of the local government to respond and recover. Disaster assistance is supplemental and sequential. When the local government's capacity has been surpassed, a state disaster declaration may be issued, allowing for the provision of state assistance. Should the disaster be so severe that both the local and state governments' capacities are exceeded, a federal emergency or disaster declaration may be issued allowing for the provision of federal assistance. The federal government may issue a disaster declaration through FEMA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and/or the Small Business Administration (SBA). FEMA also issues emergency declarations, which are more limited in scope and without the long-term federal recovery programs of major disaster declarations. The quantity and types of damage are the determining factors.

The vulnerability assessment identifies how people, properties, and structures will be damaged by the event. If the hazard can harm people or damage their homes and other structures, they are vulnerable. Finding the weak points in the system, for example, identifying building types that are vulnerable to damage and anticipating the loss in high risk areas, will help the planning area decide what mitigation measure should be undertaken and how to implement the activities they select. Methodology Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(i): [The risk assessment shall include a] description of the type...of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. The plan shall include information on previous occurrences of hazard events and on the probability of future hazard events. The risk assessment identifies how people, properties, and structures will be damaged by the event. If the hazard can harm people or damage their homes and other structures, they are vulnerable. Finding the weak points in the system, for example, identifying building types that are vulnerable to damage and anticipating the loss in high risk areas, will help the community decide what mitigation measure should be undertaken and how to implement the activities they select. The Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee used the following updated factors in determining the hazard risk assessment (as used by the State of Iowa in their HMP Update). The Planning Committee considered the following for each identified hazard: • Probability • Magnitude / Severity • Warning Time • Duration (Probability x.45) + (Magnitude/Severity x .30) + (Warning Time x .15) + (Duration x .10) = Final Hazard Assessment Score Each hazard identified in this section is profiled individually. The level of information presented in the profiles varies by hazard based on the information available. With each update of this plan, new information will be incorporated to provide for better evaluation and prioritization of the hazards that affect the planning area. The sources used to collect information for these profiles included previous and current hazard mitigation plans, available data from the National Climatic Data Center, the State of Iowa updated HMP and other available data from the county and incorporated communities. Detailed profiles for each of the identified hazards include information categorized as follows. Page 191 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 24 Probability The probability score reflects the likelihood of the hazard occurring again in the future, considering both the hazard's historical occurrence and the projected likelihood of the hazard occurring in any given year. Many times the historical occurrence can be extrapolated into the future using best available data, but others, due to the nature of the hazard are more difficult to estimate the probability of future occurrence. If a hazard or its impacts have been mitigated Score Description 1 Unlikely Less than 10% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 10 chance of occurring), history of events is less than 10% likely or the event is unlikely but there is a possibility of its occurrence. 2 Occasional Between 10% and 20% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 5 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 10% but less than 20% or the event could possibly occur. 3 Likely Between 20% and 33% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 3 chance of occurring), history of events if greater than 20% but less than 33% or the event is likely to occur. 4 Highly Likely More than 33% probability in any given year (event has up to a 1 in 1 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 33% likely or the event is highly likely to occur. against, the probability of future occurrences decreases. Conversely, hazards that have not occurred in the past may present themselves to the community in the future. Magnitude / Severity The magnitude of the impact of a hazard event (past and perceived) is related directly to the extent that hazards affect the State and is measured using technical measures specific to the hazard. This is also a function of when the event occurs (year- round, seasonal), the location affected (both geographically and non - geographically determined), the resilience of the community, and the effectiveness of the emergency response and disaster recovery efforts. Rating Description 1 Negligible Less than 10% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for less than 24 hours, and/or injuries/illnesses treatable with first aid 2 Limited 10% to 25% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and service for more than a week, and/or injuries/illnesses that do not result in permanent disability. 3 Critical 25% to 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for at least two weeks, and/or injuries/illnesses that result in permanent disability. 4 Catastrophic More than 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for more than 30 days, and/or multiple deaths. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 192 of 728 25 Warning Time The speed of onset is the amount of warning time available before the hazard occurs. This should be taken as an average warning time. For many of the atmospheric natural hazards there is a considerable amount of warning time as opposed to the human caused accidental hazards that occur instantaneously or without any significant warning time. Duration This consists of the typical amount of time that the jurisdiction is impacted by the hazard. As an example, a snowstorm will likely last several hours, whereas a lightning strike would last less than a second. Hazard Analysis Summary TABLE 16: WARNING TIME Score Description 1 More than 24 hours warning time. 2 12 to 24 hours warning time. 3 6 to 12 hours warning time 4 Minimal or no warning time (up to 6 hours warning) Score Description 1 Less than 6 hours 2 Less than 1 day 3 Less than 1 week 4 More than 1 week Table 18 lists the composite (total) scores for all jurisdictions in the planning area. Individual assessment scores for each jurisdiction can be found in their respective appendix. Certain hazard rankings are different depending upon the jurisdiction affected, due to different topography, historical occurrences, vulnerability, severity of impact, and probability to that community. In a small number of instances, hazards were not scored in jurisdictions where that particular hazard is impossible. For example, there are no dams or levees in Elk Run Heights. As a result, the levee failure and dam failure hazards were not scored in that jurisdiction. The identified hazards are discussed at length on the following pages. The discussion will include known historical occurrence, probability, magnitude/severity, warning time, and duration. For each of these elements, not only discussion will take place, but the results of the Planning Committee's scoring efforts will be provided following the discussion, under Vulnerability Assessment. The hazards identified in Table 18, with in depth discussion, are as follows.

River floods are the most common and widespread of all -natural disasters, except fire. Most communities in the U.S. can experience some kind of flooding after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms, winter storm thaws, waterway obstructions, or levee or dam failures. Often it is a combination of these elements that causes damaging floods. Floodwaters can be extremely dangerous. The force of six inches of swiftly moving water can knock people off their feet and two feet of water can float of car. Floods can be slow-, or fast -rising but generally develop over a period of days. Flooding is a natural and expected phenomenon that occurs annually, usually restricted to specific streams, rivers or watershed areas. Historical Occurrences According to data from the National Climatic Data Center, there have been 104 reported flood events in Black Hawk County between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2019. These events caused $15.1 million in property damage and $25.8 million in crop damage. There were no injuries or deaths reported as a result of these flooding events. Table 20 outlines the details of these flood events. The table of historical occurrences appears on the next page.

The following is not intended to be a complete historical record of every flood event to have occurred within the county, but rather a brief summary of some of the more severe events that have taken place. Flood of April 1933 — This flood occurred as a result of heavy rain on the last three days in March. At the time, that March was the wettest ever recorded. The upper end of the Winnebago River drainage area had a monthly accumulation of more than six inches of rainfall. Furthermore, Black Hawk and Beaver Creek had significant rainfall amounts in their basin, therefore contributing to the local flooding situation. Flood of June 1947 — The spring of 1947 was a very wet spring, at the time one of the wettest on record. The most severe rainfall occurred from June 10-13th The highest rainfall amounts recorded above the metropolitan area occurred in Shell Rock on the Shell Rock River with 4.9 inches in a 19-hour time frame. Although more specific data was not available, damages for the Iowa -Cedar River Basin included damage of $2,500,000 and property damage of $1,500,000 of which about $1,000,000 was urban damage. Flood of April 1951 — This flood was caused by melting snow accompanied by moderate rains. Snow cover during the winter was unusually heavy. Sudden warm temperatures and light rainfall began in late March. In early April, two inches of rainfall occurred in a three-day time period. The Cedar River eventually flooded necessitating the evacuation of an estimated 400 families in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls metropolitan area. Flood of June 1954 — This flood was the result of extensive rainfall events. Although the month of May experience normal rainfall amounts, early rainfall events in June quickly saturated the soil. Then, before the soil moisture subsided additional heavy rains occurred from June 15-19th. The crests from the Shell Rock River and West Fork Shell Rock River coincided with the crest on the Cedar River producing a near record crest at the Waterloo gauging station. Page 199 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 32 Flood of March and April 1961—The flood was produced by rapid melting of a very heavy snow cover in conjunction with several warm rainfall events. As in the 1954 flood event crests from the Shell Rock, West Fork Shell Rock, and Cedar Rivers nearly coincided. According to published reports in the Waterloo Daily Courier the Fourth Street bridge was closed due to pressure buildup and cracks found in the structure. Sans Souci bridge was also closed, as the east end of the bridge appeared to be trembling. In the City of Evansdale approximately 50 families were forced to leave their homes. It is estimated that in Waterloo there were 400 acres under water. Approximately 300 families were evacuated in east Cedar Falls. Damage estimates concluded that about 3,000 homes in Waterloo were flooded as water covered 2,800 acres; Cedar Falls, some 700 homes flooded; Evansdale, 500 homes flooded, and another 500 with basement water. There were also several areas along West Conger and Sans Souci Island. Flood of March and April 1962 — Late March and early April flooding was the result of snowmelt of unusually heavy snow cover. Snow surveys made prior to the melt indicated 16 inches of snow on the ground at Waterloo with a water content of 4.8 inches. Crest stage at the Waterloo gauge was 2.6 feet lower than the 1961 flood event. Flood of April 1965 — Flooding resulted due to the release of an ice pack that had formed on the Cedar River just upstream from Cedar Falls. The ice pack, before letting loose had backed up for approximately three miles. A number of streets and bridges were closed in the metropolitan area including Highway 20 near the Waterloo -Cedar Falls city limits. This event was also the largest recorded event to have occurred along Black Hawk Creek. The gage at the peak registered in excess of 18 feet and the discharge for the stream was measured at 19,300 cubic feet/second (cfs). This particular flood was estimated at approximately an 85-year flood. Floods of 1993 — Many unincorporated areas of Black Hawk County were plagued with high water levels throughout the summer months, due to heavy rains falling repeatedly on already saturated soils with high ground water levels. Numerous secondary collector roads were under water in late June and early July, including Dysart Road south of Waterloo, Washburn Road west of Gilbertville and Brandon Road east of La Porte City. Some local roads, such as Big Woods Road north of Cedar Falls and Ordway Road northwest of Dunkerton were under water for several weeks. Ground water filled many residential basements in the Washburn area for two to three months that summer as well. Flood of 1999 — At the time, the flood of 1999 was the flood of record for portions of the Waterloo/Cedar Falls metropolitan area. This flooding was due to three days of extreme rainfall in both the Shell Rock and Upper Cedar watersheds north of the county in addition to a six to eight -inch rainfall in the northern portion of Black Hawk County. A gage on the Cedar River at Janesville registered record gage heights. The gage at Waterloo, conversely, recorded only a twenty-year flood. This situation would have been entirely different had the heavy rains also fallen in the West Fork Cedar, Beaver Creek and Black Hawk Creek watersheds that contribute to the Cedar between Janesville and Waterloo. In May of 1999 flash flooding on Crane Creek did great damage in the City of Dunkerton, in Black Hawk County. The town of Dunkerton was approximately 50% evacuated as waters rose. The city's sewage treatment plant was inundated by the high water. Some of the bridges over small creeks were declared unsafe. Nearly 1,000 feet of two paved secondary roads (C57 & C66) over the Wapsipinicon River east of Dunkerton were completely destroyed by floodwaters in July of 1999 as well. Officials estimated that repair costs in Black Hawk County were at least $1,700,000, including $560,000 for roads, culverts and bridges. Damage Page 200 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 33 estimates in the City of Dunkerton were placed at $500,000 to public infrastructure alone. The county also reported $183,000 in damage to parks. One area of the county, in particular, that has had reoccurring damage as a result of flooding and high-water tables is the area along Highway 218 north of Cedar Falls. This area is the focus of many of the planning efforts being made by the county and other organizations in an effort to mitigate future water damage. The area is hampered by floodwaters entering the area and then remaining there, as opposed to draining away. This problem is compounded by the fact that the soil in the area has a relatively high infiltration rate that allows much water to soak into the ground causing the water table to rise. This elevated water table results in many basements taking on water for extended periods of time. The City of Elk Run Heights and the Washburn subdivision also experienced tremendous flood damage as a result of flooding in 1999. Many areas that had never flooded before sustained damage due to overflow water, flooded basements, storm and sanitary sewer backups, to name a few. Flood of 2008 — Record flooding in 2008 devastated many areas in Black Hawk County. Primarily residential districts were negatively impacted. The river eventually crested at 27.01 ft, 5.15 ft above the previous record. This event was estimated to be a 500-year flood event. Floods of 2013 — As a result of heavy rain events throughout the months of May and June, there were several floods in 2013 which led to an estimated $3,200,000 in property damage. While presidential disaster declarations were established for the same events in several neighboring counties, there was no such declaration for Black Hawk County. This can likely be attributed to all of the flood mitigation actions implemented by the communities in Black Hawk County over the years. Floods of 2016 — In 2016, the Cedar River experienced near record -breaking flood levels. 17 Iowa counties were impacted by the 2016 floods and the National Guard was activated to assist with local responses. 2016 Floods accounted for $340,000 in property and crop damage in the planning area. Floods of 2018 — The Cedar River rose to moderate flood stage in September of 2018. Damages caused to property and crop land exceeded $3,600,000. While the financial impact was significant, it was mitigated by earlier efforts of removing structures form flood plain areas, along with preventative measures such as HESCO barriers, sandbags on hand, and construction of levees. Floods of 2019 — Flooding events occurring in the spring of 2019 caused damage to structures and area parks, including the Black Hawk Park. The high water coupled with large ice floats creating more damage than a normal high-water event (Black Hawk County Conservation Board). Finally, it should be noted that there have been several flood events that go unrecorded for several reasons. Either they do not cause substantial damage to houses or structures or they may occur around the same time of a larger, more publicized event. Nevertheless, these events do result in flood costs FIGURE 4: WATERLOO RIVER GAUGE LOCATION ©2014 MapQuest - Portions ©2014 NAVTEQ 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 201 of 728 34 that the county taxpayers and individual property owners must finance. The closest river gauge, for which historic stream flow information is available, is located on the Cedar River near downtown Waterloo. Jurisdiction Historical Occurrence of River Flooding by Jurisdiction Cedar Falls, UNI, and Cedar Falls Community School District The City of Cedar Falls was affected by all of the aforementioned flood events. Since the nearest gauge station to Cedar Falls is in downtown Waterloo, most statistics relating to Cedar Falls are broad in scope. At the time of the 1999 flood, a flood control levy that now protects much of the downtown area had been approximately 2/3 completed. If not for that scenario, the flood event would likely have caused much more extensive damage than it did. Since the flood of 2008, the city has undergone an extensive series of flood buyouts. Cedar Falls participated in federally -funded programs to remove properties damaged in the flood. According to available data, the city has facilitated the purchase and removal of structures from over 344 properties, at a total cost of nearly $21 Million. Map 6 and Map 7 show the areas in Cedar Falls situated within the floodplain, and Map 52 shows the location of critical facilities in the city. As shown, portions of the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) campus are within the floodplain, particularly along Dry Run Creek. The Cedar Falls Community School District has two facilities situated on parcels identified to be affected during a one -percent annual chance flood scenario: North Cedar Elementary School and Peet Junior High School. The Price Laboratory School, which had been situated along the floodplain, was demolished in 2013. Dunkerton In May of 1999 flash flooding on Crane Creek did great damage in the City of Dunkerton. The City of Dunkerton was approximately 50% evacuated as waters rose. The city's sewage treatment plant was inundated by the high water. Some of the bridges over small creeks were declared unsafe. Nearly 1,000 feet of two paved secondary roads (C57 & C66) over the Wapsipinicon River east of Dunkerton were completely destroyed by floodwaters in July of 1999 as well. Damage estimates in the City of Dunkerton were placed at $500,000 to public infrastructure alone. In 2013, evacuations began in downtown Dunkerton after heavy rains caused Crane Creek to rise by several feet. Elk Run Heights Elk Run Heights experienced its first flood event in 1969, which resulted in the sewer treatment plant being submerged and temporarily rendered ineffective. The 1969 flooding event occurred when water backed up into the community due to the high level of the Cedar River. With the 1990's the frequency and severity of flooding increased in Elk Run Heights, as was the case in much of the Midwest. The flooding of 1993 was arguably the most severe event on record until 2008. Many residences experienced flooding in their basements due to an extremely high-water table coupled with some surface water flow through the city. The floodwater came across Lafayette Road and passed through town en route to Elk Run Creek and the Cedar River. The greatest damage occurred along Sutton Avenue, where two houses experienced substantial damage due to flooding. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 202 of 728 35 Jurisdiction Historical Occurrence of River Flooding by Jurisdiction The flood of 1999 was serious, but not as far-reaching as the 1993 flooding. Houses were once again flooded along Sutton Avenue, but residences in other portions of the community were not as wet as they had been in the 1993 event. This was largely attributed to the construction of a large drainage ditch north of Dubuque Road, which routed most of the water north of the City west to Elk Run Creek. The record flooding in 2008 devastated many areas in Black Hawk County along the Cedar River and its tributaries. Fortunately, due to Elk Run Height's previous mitigation actions, there was little damage to the community. Evansdale From an aerial view, it appears that a portion of the city was built on an ox bow of the Cedar River. The community had major flooding in 1947, 1961, and 1965. The city worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and purchased the right-of-way for flood control. In 1980-1982, the Corps extended the Waterloo Flood Control Levee through Evansdale along the east side of the Cedar River and on the west side of Elk Run Creek which runs through the community from north to south. This project was completed on October 1, 1982. The southern portion of the levee is Interstate 380 as it runs through the community. During several flood events, a low arch concrete railroad bridge has contributed to an ice jam on the Cedar River backing up flood water for miles upstream. The bridge was no longer used for a railroad; however, it was later converted into a highly used bike and recreational trail link for the Cedar Valley Nature Trail which connects the Waterloo and Cedar Rapids metro areas together. This bridge was later destroyed in the 2008 flood. It has since been replaced in 2013. Evansdale suffered flooding in June 2008 and it was estimated that 250 to 300 residences took water. The levee on the south side of Evansdale protects the city from a 100-year flood event and the levee performed well in protecting the city. The wastewater treatment plant did suffer damage, however. The flooding that affected residential areas in Evansdale came from Elk Run Creek, which runs through the community to the Cedar River. The city is prone to flash flooding and has had several occurrences over the years. Due to the city's high-water table, low elevation, and proximity to the Cedar River and Elk Run Creek, many homes have sump pumps. These sump pumps expel water into the sanitary sewer or into the street, which exacerbates flooding during a heavy rainfall. The city continually works to improve the local storm sewer system to improve drainage and prevent flash flooding. Gilbertville The only river flowing through Gilbertville is the Cedar River which has a long history of flood events in Black Hawk County. However, there is no indication that any substantial flood damage has occurred in the city as a result of these events. This is because the majority of the city is situated on a hill approximately 30 feet above the river. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 203 of 728 36 Jurisdiction Historical Occurrence of River Flooding by Jurisdiction Hudson The primary flood hazard in the City of Hudson generally occurs as a result of overflow from Black Hawk Creek, the only stream of consequence in the community. Due to the location of Hudson, on the banks of Black Hawk Creek, the probability of flooding is high. Although the probability of flooding is high, because the City has been successful in prohibiting growth in the identified flood hazard areas, the majority of flood damage has been to crops, and otherwise unpopulated areas. Conversely, flooding has caused some damage to structures in the developed portion of the community on several occasions in the past decade. According to FEMA information, there are 10 residential units and several streets within the flood hazard area. La Porte City Wolf Creek is the only major creek that runs through La Porte City. Wolf Creek flows into the Cedar River which is exactly two miles away from the city center. La Porte City endured notable flood and high-water events in 1872, 1881, 1902, 1944, 1946, 1947, 1949, 1969, 1974, 1993, 1999, and 2008, 2016 and 2018. The magnitude of each flood varies, but considerable damage occurred during several of these events including damage or destruction to bridges, housing, railroad tracks, commercial buildings, and public utilities. Raymond Poyner Creek, a tributary of the Cedar River, is the only water body in Raymond. This creek located within the 100-year floodplain is in the south east corner of the city and has potential for concern during heavy downpours. Fortunately, there are no residential or commercial areas located within this floodplain. Conversely, the city has experienced several flash flooding events, as heavy rains have occurred. Waterloo The City of Waterloo was impacted in some way by all of the aforementioned flood events. In the summer of 2008, the City of Waterloo experienced a sustained period of river flooding that would become the worst natural disaster in the city's history. The river crested on June 11 and was 3.5 feet higher than any previous record. It was determined that the city had experienced a 500-year flood. Thankfully, the city's levee system and flood panels saved much of the downtown from flooding. The "west" side of downtown flooded when water overran the protection at Blower's Creek and sewers backed up with floodwater. Several bridges spanning the Cedar River were closed and the Union Pacific rail bridge was destroyed by the flooding. Damage estimates of the flood are in the millions: $18 million for the city and $15 million for private property. The city's investment in flood mitigation projects in the past and staff and volunteer efforts minimized the impact of this otherwise devastating flood. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 204 of 728 37 Probabilit Considering the historical occurrence of flood events and the number of streams and rivers located within Black Hawk County, the probability of future flooding remains highly likely (see Table 14 for definition of this probability) for portions of the planning area. The locations where flooding might occur can vary substantially. Jurisdiction Probability of River Flood Events by Jurisdiction Cedar Falls, UNI, and Cedar Falls Community School District Due to the location of Cedar Falls in relation to the Cedar River, Black Hawk Creek, Snag Creek, Beaver Creek, Dry Run Creek, and several smaller unnamed creeks, the City of Cedar Falls, UNI, and Cedar Falls Community School District can expect there to be additional flooding events at some time in the future. The probability is highly likely. Dunkerton The entire community of Dunkerton lies within the Crane Creek drainage area. In addition, the small, unnamed tributary located within the city also has a small floodplain. Considering the previous flood events in Dunkerton, the probability of future flooding remains highly likely. Elk Run Heights Due to the location of Elk Run Heights on the banks of Elk Run Creek and near the Cedar River the probability of flooding remains highly likely. However, the recent construction of a large drainage ditch on the north side of town has reduced the chance a flood event will occur. Evansdale Due to the location of Evansdale on the banks of the Cedar River and Elk Run Creek, the probability of flooding remains highly likely. Gilbertville Because Gilbertville is situated along the Cedar River, the probability of flooding is highly likely. However, the area affected by such flooding is relatively minimal compared to other cities in the planning area, as the city is situated on a hill next to the river. Hudson Due to the location of Hudson, on the banks of Black Hawk Creek, the probability of flooding is high. Although the probability of flooding is high, because the City has been successful in prohibiting growth in the identified flood hazard areas, the majority of flood damage has been to crops, and otherwise unpopulated areas. Conversely, flooding has caused some damage to structures in the developed portion of the community on several occasions in the past decade. Due to increased development in the community over the past couple of decades, it is likely that runoff from properties within city limits has increased, thereby increasing the risk of flash flooding in the community. La Porte City Due to the location of La Porte City in relation to the Cedar River and Wolf Creek, the community can expect there to be additional flooding events at some time in the future. The community identified the probability of flooding in La Porte City as occasional. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 205 of 728 38 Jurisdiction Probability of River Flood Events by Jurisdiction Raymond Given the limited historical occurrences of significant flooding in Raymond, the probability of future river flooding is unlikely. However, flash flood events are more likely. Waterloo Due to the location of Waterloo in relation to the Cedar River, Black Hawk Creek, Dry Run Creek, Virden Creek, Blower's Creek and several other previously identified streams, the City of Waterloo can expect there to be additional flooding events at some time in the future. The river gage readings below show 42 peak flows reaching flood stage (12 feet or above) on the Cedar River between March 16, 1929 and April 29, 2009. Based on this historical record, the probability of the Cedar River reaching flood stage is 52.5 percent in a given year. Magnitude / Severity Significant flooding would likely affect the entire planning area in some regard through road closures resulting in limited access to business or residential areas. Those who are at the greatest risk are those living in identified flood zones. Jurisdiction Magnitude / Severity of River Flood Events by Jurisdiction Critical facilities that could be impacted during a river flood event include Cedar Falls Utilities, which is situated in close proximity to the Cedar River. If a large enough flood occurred, it is possible that the power plant would not be able to operate, as was the case in the June 2008 floods when the CFU Streeter Station was knocked out of commission for 8 months. The water reclamation facility was at one time in an identified flood area, and still is officially, but since the construction of levees along the Cedar River, it would likely take a levee failure for the Cedar Falls, plant to be affected. A record flood which occurred in September of 2016 threatened to come close to topping the levee which at the time UNI, and was 102.9'. The City has since increased the levee height by an additional two feet, through a $6.7 million project. This project expanded Cedar Falls the City's existing levee system for increased capacity to protect critical structures and the downtown. Community School Approximately 2,274 parcels in the City of Cedar Falls are within the 100 and 500-year floodplain, representing 4,783.5 acres, as determined District by official Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS) for the community. This represents 25.1% of the City. Total value of properties in the 100-year floodplain is $344,598,470. Total value of properties within the 500-year floodplain is $32,793,580. There are two schools situated in the floodplain in the in City of Cedar Falls. Peet Junior High School, located near the interchange of University Avenue and Iowa Highway 58, and the North Cedar Elementary School, located near Center Street and W Lone Tree Road, are 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 206 of 728 39 Jurisdiction Magnitude / Severity of River Flood Events by Jurisdiction situated on parcels identified to be affected during a one -percent annual chance flood scenario. All other schools in the district are situated outside of areas identified as affected during a flood event. There are a number of facilities located on the UNI campus situated on parcels identified to be affected by a floodway and a one -percent annual chance flood scenario: the UNI-Dome, the Wellness and Recreation Center, the McLeod Center, the Center for Energy and Environmental Education, the Center of Business and Community Services, the Industrial Technology Center, the Biology Research Complex, Bender and Dancer Halls* (known locally as "the towers"), Hillside Courts*, Jennings Courts*, the ROTH Complex*, the campus's running track and tennis courts, and several parking lots. Facilities marked with an asterisk (*) are residence halls or apartments which present unique problems such as overnight flooding events which could pose a hazard to the residents inside. All other campus facilities not mentioned above are situated outside of areas identified as affected during a flood event. Dunkerton In a 100-year flood event, approximately 178 parcels would be impacted, representing 202.1 acres. In a 500-year flood event, a small tributary that flows into Crane Creek would also overflow causing flood damage to surrounding homes and impacting potentially 12.7 acres. Public structures situated within the floodplain include the main wastewater lift station, the City maintenance garage, the Public Library, and two City wells. The total estimated value of all property within the floodway, 100-year and 500-year floodplain is $11,282,680. Elk Run Heights According to analysis of 2018 parcel values and the 2011 floodplain designations in Black Hawk County, IA a 100-year flood event would impact an estimated 18 parcels, representing 68.7 acres, valued at $1,590,010. Evansdale Flooding would likely affect the entire city in some regard. Whether it is closed roads resulting in limited access to business or residential areas or simply the cost incurred by the community as a result to increased staff -hours, most of the city would be affected. A 100-Year flood would impact 158 parcels, representing 77.7% of all acres in the City, with a value of $6,897,860. Gilbertville There are 68 parcels of land, representing 27.4 acres, located within the 100-year floodplain. However, there are no persons currently living within the floodplain. The total value of all property in the floodplain is $6,815,810. The main concern regarding flooding in Gilbertville is damage to bridges and roadways. Hudson The City of Hudson has been successful in prohibiting growth in the identified flood hazard areas. However, there are 207 parcels, representing 1,535 acres, that would be impacted by a 100-year flood event, with buildings and dwellings valued at $20,910,980. The majority of flood damage to date has been to crops and otherwise unpopulated areas. However, due to increased development, the likelihood of flash flooding has increased as a result of increased runoff. La Porte City La Porte City has 387 parcels, representing 760.6 acres, that would be impacted by a 100-year flood event. This would damage an estimated 57.79% of the City, valued at approximately $31,382,520. Critical facilities that could stand to be impacted include the Wastewater 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 207 of 728 40 Jurisdiction Magnitude / Severity of River Flood Events by Jurisdiction Treatment Facility, two lift stations, the Municipal Power Plant, two bridges, City Hall, the Police Department, and the local Fire Department. Raymond The City of Raymond has 13 parcels, on approximately 74.1 acres, located within the 100-year floodplain with structures and land valued at $1,034,840. This represents 1.85% of the entire City. Significant flooding in nearby cities and counties could affect the residents of Raymond in some regard, such as closed roads resulting in limited access to nearby businesses or residential areas. Waterloo There are a total of 8,943 floodplain parcels across 11,948.9 acres within the City of Waterloo. 1096 parcels are in the floodway, 1,485 are in the 100-year floodplain, 6,127 are protected by levee and 235 are within the 500-year flood plain. Together, if impacted, this would damage 31.27% of the entire city. Critical facilities that could be impacted include the waste water treatment plant, which lies in close proximity to the Cedar River but is relatively well protected from large flood events. Warning Time Flood warnings are disseminated from the National Weather Service, IAWAS, and Tornado Spotters to the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department who, in turn, disseminate warnings to the affected areas of the city and county, using established procedures. People in the path of river floods may have time to take appropriate actions to limit harm to themselves and their property. Floods may occur in the form of flash flooding which can result in a matter of tens of minutes. Other floods can be forecasted to allow for several hours, perhaps even days notification. Duration The duration of river flooding is dependent on the severity of the flooding event. Page 208 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 41 Flash Flood Definition and Description A flash flood event occurs with little or no warning where water levels rise at an extremely fast rate. Flash flooding results from intense rainfall over a brief period, sometimes combined with rapid snowmelt, ice jam release, frozen ground, saturated soil, or impermeable surfaces. Most flash flooding occurs within the designated FEMA 1% annual chance flood zone. The flooding is caused by slow -moving thunderstorms or thunderstorms repeatedly moving over the same area. Flash flooding is an extremely dangerous form of flooding, which can reach full peak in only a few minutes and allows little or no time for protective measures to be taken by those in its path. Flash flood water move at very fast speeds and can roll boulders, tear out trees, scour channels, destroy buildings, and obliterate bridges. Flash flooding often results in higher loss of life, both human and animal, than slower developing river and stream flooding. Historical Occurrence According to data from the National Climatic Data Center, there have been 42 reported flash flood events in Black Hawk County between January 1, 1996 and November 30, 2019. These events have caused $5.56 Million in property damage and $570,000 in crop damage. Table 21 identifies the Historical Flash Flood Events in Black Hawk County. It should be noted that there have been several flood events that go unrecorded for several reasons. Either they do not cause substantial damage to houses or structures or they may occur around the same time of a larger, more publicized event. Nevertheless, these events do result in flood costs that the county taxpayers and individual property owners must finance.

The flood event on April 25, 2008 was reported as both a flood and a flash flood, illustrating the inherent similarities in the two event types. Since the flood of 2008, the city has undergone an extensive series of flood buyouts. Cedar Falls participated in federally -funded programs to remove properties damaged in the flood. According to available data, the city has facilitated the purchase and removal of structures from approximately 344 properties. Cedar Falls has also experienced flash flooding events in 2010 and 2018 . Dunkerton In May of 1999 flash flooding on Crane Creek caused great damage in the City of Dunkerton. The City of Dunkerton was approximately 50% evacuated as waters rose. The city's sewage treatment plant was inundated by the high water. Some of the bridges over small creeks were declared unsafe. Nearly 1,000 feet of two paved secondary roads (C57 & C66) over the Wapsipinicon River east of Dunkerton were completely destroyed by floodwaters in July of 1999 as well. Damage estimates in the City of Dunkerton were placed at $500,000 to public infrastructure alone. Elk Run Heights Elk Run Heights experienced its first flood event in 1969, which resulted in the sewer treatment plant being submerged and temporarily rendered ineffective. The 1969 flooding event occurred when water backed up into the community due to the high level of the Cedar River. With the 1990's the frequency and severity of flooding increased in Elk Run Heights, as was the case in much of the Midwest. The flooding of 1993 was arguably the most severe event on record until 2008. Many residences experienced flooding in their basements due to an extremely high water table coupled with some surface water flow through the city. The floodwater came across Lafayette Road and passed through town en route to Elk Run Creek and the Cedar River. The greatest damage occurred along Sutton Avenue, where two houses experienced substantial damage due to flooding. The flood of 1999 was serious, but not as far-reaching as the 1993 flooding. Houses were once again flooded along Sutton Avenue, but residences in other portions of the community were not as wet as they had been in the 1993 event. This was largely attributed to the construction of a large drainage ditch north of Dubuque Road, which routed most of the water north of the City west to Elk Run Creek. The record flooding in 2008 devastated many areas in Black Hawk County along the Cedar River and its tributaries. Fortunately, due to Elk Run Height's previous mitigation actions, there was little damage to the community. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 211 of 728 44 Jurisdiction Historical Occurrence of Flash Flood Events by Jurisdiction Evansdale From an aerial view, it appears that a portion of the city was built on an ox bow of the Cedar River. The community had major flooding in 1947, 1961, and 1965. The city worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and purchased the right-of-way for flood control. In 1980-1982, the Corps extended the Waterloo Flood Control Levee through Evansdale along the east side of the Cedar River and on the west side of Elk Run Creek which runs through the community from north to south. This project was completed on October 1, 1982. The southern portion of the levee is Interstate 380 as it runs through the community. During several flood events, a low arch concrete railroad bridge contributed to an ice jam on the Cedar River backing up flood water for miles upstream. The bridge is no longer used for a railroad and had been converted into a highly used bike and recreational trail linking to the Cedar Valley Nature Trail and connecting the Waterloo and Cedar Rapids metro areas together. However, this bridge was destroyed in the 2008 flood and has yet to be replaced. Evansdale suffered flooding in June 2008 and it was estimated that 250 to 300 residences took water. The levee on the south side of Evansdale protects the city from a 100-year flood event and the levee performed well in protecting the city. The wastewater treatment plant did suffer damage, however. The flooding that affected residential areas in Evansdale came from Elk Run Creek, which runs through the community to the Cedar River. There is currently no meaningful flood protection in place along the creek and when the Cedar River water levels rose, it backed up water into Elk Run Creek, causing it to flood. The city is prone to flash flooding and has had several occurrences over the years. Due to the city's high-water table, low elevation, and proximity to the Cedar River and Elk Run Creek, many homes have sump pumps. These sump pumps expel water into the sanitary sewer or into the street, which exacerbates flooding during a heavy rainfall. The city continually works to improve the local storm sewer system to improve drainage and prevent flash flooding. The city has also experienced two other recorded flash food events in 2010 and 2013, causing approximately $750,000. Gilbertville The only river flowing through Gilbertville is the Cedar River which has a long history of flood events in Black Hawk County. However, there is no indication that any substantial flood damage has occurred in the city as a result of these events. This is because the majority of the city is situated on a hill approximately 30 feet above the river. Hudson The primary flood hazard in the City of Hudson generally occurs as a result of overflow from Black Hawk Creek, the only stream of consequence in the community. Due to the location of Hudson, on the banks of Black Hawk Creek, the probability of flooding is high. Although the probability of flooding is high, because the City has been successful in prohibiting growth in the identified flood hazard areas, the majority of flood damage has been to crops, and otherwise unpopulated areas. Conversely, flooding has caused some damage to structures in the developed portion of the community on several occasions in the past decade. According to FEMA 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 212 of 728 45 Jurisdiction Historical Occurrence of Flash Flood Events by Jurisdiction information, there are 10 residential units and several streets within the flood hazard area. La Porte City Wolf Creek is the only waterway that runs through La Porte City. Wolf Creek flows into the Cedar River which is exactly two miles away from the city center. La Porte City endured notable flood and high-water events in 1872, 1881, 1902, 1944, 1946, 1947, 1949, 1969, 1974, 1993, 1999, 2008 and 2014. The magnitude of each flood varies, but considerable damage occurred during several of these events including damage or destruction to bridges, housing, railroad tracks, commercial buildings, and public utilities. Raymond Poyner Creek, a tributary of the Cedar River, is the only water body in Raymond. This creek located within the 100-year floodplain is in the south east corner of the city and has potential for concern during heavy downpours. Fortunately, there are no residential or commercial areas located within this floodplain. Conversely, the city has experienced several flash flooding events, as heavy rains have occurred. Waterloo In the summer of 2008, the City of Waterloo experienced a sustained period of river flooding that would become the worst natural disaster in the city's history. The river crested on June 11 and was 3.5 feet higher than any previous record. It was determined that the city had experienced a 500-year flood. Thankfully, the city's levee system and flood panels saved much of the downtown from flooding. The "east" side of downtown flooded when water overran the protection at Blower's Creek and sewers backed up with floodwater. The "west" side experienced flooding due to Dry Run Arch being overwhelmed. Several bridges spanning the Cedar River were closed and the Union Pacific rail bridge was destroyed by the flooding. Damage estimates of the flood are in the millions: $18 million for the city and $15 million for private property. The city's investment in flood mitigation projects in the past and staff and volunteer efforts minimized the impact of this otherwise devastating flood. The city also endured significant flooding in 1947, 1951, 1954, 1961, 1962, 1993, 2016 and 2018. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 213 of 728 46 Probabilit Considering the historical occurrence of flood events and the number of streams and rivers located within Black Hawk County, the probability of future flooding remains highly likely (see Table 14 for definition of this probability) for portions of the planning area. Jurisdiction Probability of Flash Flood Events by Jurisdiction Cedar Falls, UNI, and Cedar Falls Community School District Based on historical data of flash flooding in Cedar Falls, the probability of future flash flooding events was occasional (see Table 14 for definition of this probability). Between the years of 1996 and 2019, there have been only three years where flash flooding events in Cedar Falls have been reported, 2008, 2016 and 2018. Community members, however, identified the probability of future flash flooding events as highly likely, which likely accounts for flash flooding events that go unreported as well as similar storm events that aren't classified as flash floods, e.g. heavy rains, river flooding. Dunkerton Based on historical data of flash flooding in Dunkerton, it was determined the probability of future flash flooding events was occasional (see Table 14 for definition of this probability). Between the years of 1996 and 2019, there have been three years where flash flooding events in Dunkerton have been reported: 1999, 2007, and 2010. In 2007, three unique flood events were reported in Dunkerton on the same day, August 19th. In 2010, the flash flood event reported to have started in Dewar was reported to have ended in Dunkerton. Elk Run Heights Two flood events are known to have affected Elk Run Heights between 1996 and 2019. These events took place on April 26, 2009 and May 29, 2013. Accordingly, the probability of future flash flood events in the city is occasional. Evansdale Four flood events are known to have affected Evansdale between 1996 and 2019. These events took place on August 19, 2007, April 26, 2009, July 7, 2010, and May 29, 2013. Accordingly, the probability for future flash flood events remains likely. Gilbertville The topography of Gilbertville, as well as the absence of any recorded flash flood events from 1996-2019, suggests that the probability for future flash flood events remains unlikely. However, there have been two flash flood events in the nearby populated place of Washburn (3 mi W), one on July 7, 2010 and the other on June 29, 2014. In addition, there have been three flood events in the nearby City of Raymond (3 mi N) described below. Based on the context of these nearby flood events, the probability of flash flooding in Gilbertville could be considered to be occasional rather than unlikely. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 214 of 728 47 Jurisdiction Probability of Flash Flood Events by Jurisdiction Hudson Based on historical information from 1996-2019, there have been no flash flood events known to have occurred in Hudson, thereby suggesting that the probability for future flash flood events is unlikely. However, there have been multiple flash flood events in nearby populated places of Orange (5 mi ENE) and Cedar Falls Junction (3 mi NE) from the town center in Hudson. In Orange, flash flood events were recorded on June 18, 2010, July 7, 2010, and June 29, 2014. In Cedar Junction, flash flood events were recorded on June 12, 2008 and July 7, 2010. Based on the context of these nearby flood events, the probability of flash flooding in Hudson could be considered to be occasional rather than unlikely. La Porte City Based on historical information from 1996-2014, there have been two years with reported flash flood events in the city, 1999 and 2014. This suggests the probability of future flash flood events is occasional. There were two unique flash floods events in 1999, one on June 8th and the other on June 29th. Raymond Three flood events are known to have affected Raymond between 1996 and 2018. These events took place on August 19, 2007, April 26, 2009, and July 7, 2010. Accordingly, the probability for future flash flood events is occasional. Waterloo Based on historical information as well as community feedback, the probability of flash flooding in Waterloo is highly likely. Between 1996 and 2019, there have been eleven years in which flash flood events were reported in Waterloo: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2018. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 215 of 728 48 Magnitude / Severity Significant flooding would likely affect the entire planning area in some regard through road closures resulting in limited access to business or residential areas. Those who are at the greatest risk are those living in identified flood zones. Jurisdiction Magnitude / Severity of Flash Flood Events by Jurisdiction Critical facilities that could be impacted include Cedar Falls Utilities, which lies in close proximity to the Cedar River. If a large enough flood occurred, it is possible that the power plant would not be able to operate, as was the case in the June 2008 floods when the CFU Streeter Station was knocked out of commission for 8 months. The water reclamation facility was at one time in an identified flood area, and still is officially, but since the construction of levees along the Cedar River, it would likely take a levee failure for the plant to be affected. There are 2274 parcels in the City of Cedar Falls designated as being in the floodplain, representing 4,783 acres as determined by official Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for the community. That calculates to approximately 25 percent of the city being exposed to damages as a result of 100 and 500-year flooding, valued at $344,598,470. There are two schools situated in the floodplain the in City of Cedar Falls. Peet Junior High School, located near the interchange of Cedar Falls, UNI, and University Avenue and Iowa Highway 58, and the North Cedar Elementary School, located near Center Street and W Lone Tree Cedar Falls Community Road, are situated on parcels identified to be affected during a one -percent annual chance flood scenario. The Price Laboratory School District School located near the UNI Campus was situated adjacent to parcels identified to be affected during a one -percent annual chance flood scenario until its demolition in 2013. All other schools in the district are situated outside of areas identified as affected during a flood event. There are a number of facilities located on the UNI campus situated on parcels identified to be affected by a floodway and a one - percent annual chance flood scenario: the UNI-Dome, the Wellness and Recreation Center, the McLeod Center, the Center for Energy and Environmental Education, the Center of Business and Community Services, the Industrial Technology Center, the Biology Research Complex, Bender and Dancer Halls* (known locally as "the towers"), Hillside Courts*, Jennings Courts*, the ROTH Complex*, the campus's running track and tennis courts, and several parking lots. Facilities marked with an asterisk (*) are residence halls or apartments which present unique problems such as overnight flooding events which could pose a hazard to the residents inside. All other campus facilities not mentioned above are situated outside of areas identified as affected during a flood event. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 216 of 728 49 Jurisdiction Magnitude / Severity of Flash Flood Events by Jurisdiction Dunkerton In a 100-year flood event, approximately 105 parcels, representing 13.31% of the City valued at $7,416,150, would sustain some degree of flood damage. In a 500-year flood event, a small tributary that flows into Crane Creek would also overflow causing flood damage to surrounding homes. Public structures situated within the floodplain include the main wastewater lift station, the City maintenance garage, the Public Library, and two City wells. The total estimated value of all property within the 500-year floodplain is $1,673,510. Elk Run Heights A 100-year flood event would impact an estimated 18 properties on approximately 74 acres worth a total of $1,590,010. Evansdale Flooding has potential to impact 2,031 acres, representing 77.7% of the city in the 100-year and 500-year floodplain. Gilbertville There are 62 parcels of land, representing 27.4 acre, located within the 100-year floodplain. The total value of all property in the 100-year floodplain is $6,620,120 The main concern regarding flooding in Gilbertville is damage to bridges and roadways. Hudson There are 1619 acres in the floodplain within the city of Hudson, representing 29.8% of the city. The city has been successful in prohibiting growth in the identified flood hazard areas. The majority of flood damage has been to crops and otherwise unpopulated areas. However, due to increased development, the likelihood of flash flooding has increased as a result of increased runoff. La Porte City Approximately 1,095 acres or 65.3 percent of La Porte City is within the 100-year floodplain as determined by official Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the community. It is estimated that there are 809 residential, commercial, and accessory structures in the 100-year floodplain. Critical facilities that could stand to be impacted include the Wastewater Treatment Facility, two lift stations, the Municipal Power Plant, two bridges, City Hall, the Police Department, and the local Fire Department. Raymond Approximately 7.15% of the City's acreage is located within the floodplain. According to the city's existing land use plan, there is one residential property located within the 100-year floodplain. This property appears to be a vacant lot, however, so there are no existing structures that lie within the 100-year floodplain. Significant flooding in nearby cities and counties could affect the residents of Raymond in some regard, such as closed roads resulting in limited access to nearby businesses or residential areas. Waterloo Approximately 12,672 acres or 31.2 percent of Waterloo is within the 100-year and 500-year floodplain, as determined by the official Flood Insurance Rate maps for the community. While a good portion of this area is in undeveloped portions of the community, an estimated 2,852 structures are located within the floodplain. Critical facilities that could be impacted include the waste water treatment plant, which lies in close proximity to the Cedar River but is relatively well protected from large flood events. Warning Time 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 217 of 728 50 Flood warnings are disseminated from the National Weather Service, IAWAS, and Tornado Spotters to the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department who, in turn, disseminates warnings to the affected areas of the City and county, using established procedures. People in the path of river floods may have time to take appropriate actions to limit harm to themselves and their property. Floods may occur in the form of flash flooding which can result in a matter of tens of minutes. Other floods can be forecasted to allow for several hours, perhaps even days notification. Duration The duration of flash flooding is dependent on the severity of the flooding event. Page 218of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 51 Tornados Definition and Description A tornado is a violent, destructive, rotating column of air or wind characteristically accompanied by a funnel shaped cloud extending down from a cumulonimbus cloud. A tornado can be a few yards to about a mile wide where it touches the ground. An average tornado, however, is a few hundred yards wide. It can move over land for distances ranging from short hops to many miles, causing great damage wherever it descends. The funnel is made visible by the dust sucked up and by condensation of water droplets in the center of the funnel. The rating scale used to rate tornado intensity is the Fujita Scale. The Fajita Scale categorizes tornado severity based on observed damage. The six -step scales range from FO (light damage) to F5 (incredible damage). As of February 2007, the National Weather Service uses the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale). This new scale ranges from EFO-EF5 (see Table 22). Historical Occurrence Between 1950 and 2019, there have been 36 recorded occurrences of tornado events in Black Hawk County. These events caused $56.25 Million in property damage, $178,000 in crop damage, 2 deaths and 79 injuries.

On May 25, 2008, another tornado passed just north of Cedar Falls which ultimately led to $25,000,000 in property damage, $155,000 in crop damage, and 20 injuries. Both tornados continued along an east-northeast trajectory until finally exiting Black Hawk County near the northeast border. Three other tornados have been reported in Cedar Falls since 1950: one on June 1, 2001 which caused $3,000 in property damage, another on June 1, 2001 which didn't cause any reported damage, and one on June 21, 2007 which also didn't cause any reported damage. A number of high wind events have also affected Cedar Falls. Around 1983, a microburst event near Lincoln Street was reported resulting in a number of downed trees and power lines. Wind speeds as high as 107 miles per hour were recorded at the Waterloo Regional Airport during this event. On August 24, 1998, high wind and rain resulted in downed power lines and tree limbs which resulted in sporadic power outages across the city affecting 500 customers. The power outage caused some traffic lights to malfunction, resulting in an increased transportation risk. One downed tree branch stuck in a transformer caused a fire to occur. On May 28, 2002, a high wind event caused localized damage to a horse shed on the north edge of Cedar Falls. This same area had significant damage on the May 11, 2000 event. Dunkerton Considering its small size, the City of Dunkerton has an impressive history of tornados. Between 1950 and 2018, there were seven tornados in a three-mile radius of Dunkerton (specifically the intersection of State Highway 281 and E Dunkerton Rd), including three tornados within Dunkerton city limits. All of these tornados were rated at least F2 on the Fujita Scale. The largest tornado to go through Dunkerton city limits passed through on November 9, 1975. This was an F3 tornado which began in Tama County, IA and travelled north-northeast through Evansdale, Elk Run Heights, and Raymond before passing through Dunkerton and ultimately leaving Black Hawk County near the northeast corner. Elk Run Heights Two tornados have passed through Elk Run Heights since 1950, an F3 tornado in 1975 and an F2 tornado in 1976. The two tornados travelled along nearly identical paths moving north -northeastward through the county (see Map 28: Historic Tornado Map of the County). Evansdale The two tornados which passed through neighboring Elk Run Heights also passed through the southeast portion of Evansdale. Fortunately, this part of Evansdale has very little in terms of development, so it can be inferred that there has been little property damage, if any, caused by a tornado in Evansdale. Page 221 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 54 Gilbertville The closest tornado to the City of Gilbertville on record occurred on June 1, 2001 near the city's boundary. There have been a total of nine recorded tornados that have occurred within a five -mile radius of Gilbertville since 1950. Hudson Two tornados have impacted the City of Hudson, both of which were rated FO. Though the vast majority of Hudson's total area is farmland, the two tornados that impacted the city were formed in the most developed portion of the city near the Hudson High School. These tornados occurred on May 31, 1971 and May 7, 1973. In 1960, an F3 tornado passed through the county just one mile south of Hudson. La Porte City Since 1950, three tornados have affected La Porte City. The first was an F2 tornado that formed in 1965 near the south border of the city. The second tornado occurred just one month later on August 28, 1965. This tornado was an F4 tornado that also formed near the south border of the city before promptly turning southeast and exiting the county. LPC experienced a third tornado in 2001. Raymond Five tornados have impacted the City of Raymond: two F1 tornados, two F2 tornados, and one F3 tornado. Property damage data is only available for one of these tornados, an F1 tornado that occurred on April 11, 2001. This tornado caused a total of $125,000 in property damage. Waterloo There have been a total of 12 tornados that have occurred within or very close to (i.e. within one -mile of) Waterloo's city boundaries. Surprisingly, the vast majority of the development in Waterloo, including the downtown business district, was unaffected by these tornados. Historically, tornados have either passed through or been formed along the fringes of the city. Page 222 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 55 Probability There have been 36 recorded tornados in Black Hawk County since 1950. Because tornados are sporadic, there cannot be a reliable long-term prediction made as to when or if they may occur. However, if the tornado events hold to their average, it is likely that Black Hawk County will experience approximately five tornados within the next ten years. One risk assessment was found online at the website www.disastercenter.com. The Disaster Center based its risk assessment by dividing the square mileage of each state against the frequency of death, injury, number of tornados, and cost of damages for each state. Each state was ranked by these individual categories. They then added the total of each state's individual rankings and divided by the number of factors (four). The data used covers the period of 1950 to 1995. According to their findings, the State of Iowa ranked 14th out of the 50 states in the amount of risk of tornados. Magnitude / Severity Tornados consist of strong, often destructive, winds. The winds in the strongest tornados are the fastest winds experienced anywhere on Earth, with rotation velocities up to 300 miles per hour. Generally, the damage associated with a tornado is greatest within several hundred feet of the column. The maximum threat of a tornado occurs when a tornado stays on the ground for an extended period of time. The risk becomes even greater when the tornado event is accompanied by hail, heavy rain, and lighting. The severity of a tornado event would likely be determined by five primary components: (1) the size of the tornado (see Table 22), with an F5 posing the most severe risk to the community, (2) the time the tornado stayed in or around the vicinity, (3) the time of day the event takes place, (4) the density of the population at the point of impact, and (5) the area of the community that was directly impacted, e.g. a mobile home park or an undeveloped portion of the community. Since 1960, there have been 12 fatalities and 146 injuries as a result of tornados in Black Hawk County. These values include reported fatalities and injuries in neighboring counties where tornados have crossed county lines into or out of Black Hawk County. The tornado with the highest number of fatalities occurred in 2008 where most of the damage occurred in Butler County to the west. Table 24 through Table 32 show damage estimates if a tornado were to go directly through each city in Black Hawk County at intensities ranging from EFO to EFS. Parcel values were made available by the Black Hawk County MIS Department and are current as of September 25, 2018. The incorporated boundaries are current as of November 1, 2019. The damage estimates show a realistic damage level to buildings and land; these were calculated using the following percentages: • EFO, EF1: 25% damage to affected buildings and land • EF2, EF3: 50% damage to affected buildings and land Page 223 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 56 • EF4, EF5: 100% damage to affected buildings and land Cedar Falls, UNI, and Cedar Falls Community School District Using available data, a tornado scenario was developed (see Maps 29 and 30: Tornado Scenario Hypothetical Path and Affected Buildings).

They can however inform a community of when the conditions are right for an event to occur. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 95 percent of all tornados occur in areas where a tornado watch has been issued. Nevertheless, the five percent of the time that they do not accurately predict, or someone is simply uninformed can result in an almost immediate onset, with little or no warning time. Duration The duration of a tornado event is dependent up on the amount of damage it has on the planning area, which was hit. It would be just a few hours with down tree branches to more than a week for major structural damages. Page 228 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 61 Windstorms Definition and Description Extreme winds are often associated with severe winter storms, severe thunderstorms, downbursts, and very steep pressure gradients. Extreme winds other than tornados are experienced in all regions of Iowa. It is difficult to separate the various wind components that cause damage from other wind -related natural events that often occur with or generate windstorms. For this reason, windstorms and tornado were considered together in their hazard ranking. Historical Occurrence According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, there were 32 reported high wind events in Black Hawk County between January 1, 1996 and April 11, 2019. The magnitude of these storms reached upwards of 61 knots and caused $3,155,110 in property damage and $30,100 in crop damage altogether. No injuries or deaths resulted from any of these storms. The NCDC website lists high wind events by zone rather than by community, so the smallest scale data available is at the county level. Table 33 lists details of each reported windstorm event in Black Hawk County since 1996. The table does not include thunderstorm wind events which are more numerous and more destructive. The most powerful thunderstorm wind event was recorded in Cedar Falls on July 10, 2009 when wind gusts were estimated to be as high as 91 knots, or 104.7 miles per hour.

The planning area has a humid continental climate; therefore, there is generally enough moisture to form clouds and rain, relatively warm and unstable air that can rise quickly, and fluctuating weather fronts that work to cause uplift in air masses. Magnitude / Severity The maximum threat of a windstorm is usually several hundred or thousand feet wide, as they are often associated with large thunderstorm cells. Much of the damage incurred during a windstorm event is often due to the accompanying hail, lightning, and wind shear. Warning Time Tornado and thunderstorm watches can warn of likely conditions hours in advance of an upcoming storm. Although significant advances in meteorological technology has allowed for more effective forecasting, it is impossible to predict, in advance, when and where a windstorm will strike. A windstorm's rapid change in direction makes it difficult to say with certainty, the path the windstorm will continue on after it has been identified. Therefore, warning time is often very short or non-existent. Wind advisories are issued by the National Weather Service when there are sustained winds 25 to 39 mph and/or gusts to 57 mph. Issuance is normally site specific; however, winds of this magnitude often occur over an area that frequently experiences high winds. Duration The duration of the effects of a windstorm event would depend upon the amount of damage sustained. For instance, broken tree limbs would impact the affected area for only a few hours; whereas, more significant damage may take days to weeks to repair. Impacts can vary from broken tree limbs, broken corn stocks, to the total destruction of buildings and other structures depending upon the built environment and the speed of the winds. Page 231 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 64 Thunderstorm & Lightning Definition and Description Thunderstorms result from an atmospheric imbalance and turbulence resulting in heavy rains, winds reaching or exceeding 58 mph, tornados, or surface hail at least 0.75 inches in diameter. Lightning is the flashing of light produced by a discharge of atmospheric electricity. Thunderstorms are common in Iowa and can occur singly, in clusters, or in lines. They are formed from a combination of moisture, rapidly raising warm air, and lifting mechanism such clashing warm and cold air masses. It is possible for several thunderstorms to affect one location in the course of a few hours. Some of the most severe weather occurs when a single thunderstorm affects one location for an extended time. It is important to note that although hail and lightning are described and defined separately from thunderstorm they generally occur as a result of a thunderstorm. Therefore, when a thunderstorm occurs, the likelihood of hail and lightning dramatically increases. Furthermore, besides hail and lightning, thunderstorms are often responsible for other cascading events such as flash flooding, river flooding, tornados, and windstorm events. Lightning is an electrical discharge that results from the buildup of positive and negative charges within a thunderstorm. When the buildup becomes strong enough, lightning appears as a "bolt." This flash of light usually occurs within the clouds or between the clouds and the ground. A bolt of lightning reaches a temperature approaching 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit in a split second. The rapid heating and cooling of air near the lightning causes thunder. Historical Occurrences Thunderstorms are common events in Black Hawk County. Each spring and summer bring many thunderstorms, often accompanied by lightning, high winds, hail, funnel clouds, and tornados. Since this document discusses high wind, hail, tornado, and flood events individually, this section will focus only on thunderstorm related weather events not mentioned in other sections. Since 1996, Black Hawk County has experienced 12 reported lightning events causing a combined total of $1,154,000 in property damage. The county has also experienced 225 thunderstorm wind events causing $4,628,000 in property damage and $102,000 in crop damage, 61 heavy rain events causing $105,000 in property damage and no crop damage, and six funnel cloud events causing no damage. Probability The probability of a thunderstorm occurring in Black Hawk County is highly likely (see Table 14 for definition of this probability). This conclusion is based on the historical occurrences of thunderstorms in the area and the fact that the climate in the upper Midwest is very conducive to the development of thunderstorms. The climate in the area is of humid continental variety and therefore there is generally enough moisture to form clouds and rain, relatively warm and unstable air that can rise quickly, and fluctuating weather fronts that work to cause uplift in air masses. Page 232 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 65 Lightning strikes in Iowa an average of 8.1 flashes per square mile per year. As Black Hawk County is approximately 571.91 square miles in size, the county can anticipate approximately 4,632 flashes on an annual basis. Magnitude / Severity Thunderstorms affect relatively small areas when compared to winter storms. The typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 20 to 30 minutes. Of the estimated 100,000 thunderstorms that occur each year in the United States, only about 10 percent are classified as severe. Despite their relatively small size, thunderstorms are large enough to impact the entire community. The severity of the storm would likely determine the extent of any associated damage. Thunderstorms may occur singly, in clusters, or in lines. Some of the most severe weather occurs when a single thunderstorm affects one location for an extended time. Lightning is a major threat during a thunderstorm. It is the lightning that produces thunder in a thunderstorm. Lightning is very unpredictable, which increases the risk to individuals and property. Warning Time The National Weather Service has developed effective weather advisories, which are promptly and widely distributed. Radio, TV, and Weather Alert Radios provide the most immediate means to do this. Accurate information is made available to public officials and the public in advance of the storm. Again, weather prediction capabilities have made significant improvements in the past few years. There are several notifications made by the National Weather Service. These include severe thunderstorm watch, severe thunderstorm warning, tornado watch, tornado warning, flash flood watch, and flash flood warning. Despite these advancements in technology, the potential for a storm to form quickly and without warning still exists. Therefore, the committee staggered the score for the speed of onset. This allowed for the possibility of minimal or no warning time, but also acknowledged that there is generally some warning time before an event occurs. Duration This type of hazard stays in the area a relatively short amount of time, depending upon the wind speeds. Page 233 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 66 Hailstorms Definition and Description Hailstorms are an outgrowth of a severe thunderstorm in which balls or irregularly shaped lumps of ice greater than 0.75 inches in diameter fall with rain. Hail is produced by many strong thunderstorms. Strong rising currents of air within a storm carry water droplets to a height where freezing occurs. Ice particles grow in size until they are too heavy to be supported by the updraft. Hail can be smaller than a pea or as large as a softball and can be very destructive to plants and crops. The hail scale extends from H0 to H10 with incremental levels of intensity and damage potential. Table 34 outlines the different sizes of hail, and Table 35 describes the categories used to classify hailstorms.

The largest hail produced from these storms was on July 16, 2007 with baseball sized hail near Waterloo and softball sized hail in the Cedar Falls area. This hail was associated with a very unstable airmass that produced thunderstorms and winds as high as 80 miles per hour in the northwest of the state. Table 34 outlines the details of each hail event. This table is divided into six sections spanning three pages. Probability Since 1996, there has been an average of 7.63 hail events each year in Black Hawk County. Oftentimes, there are several reported hail events associated with the same storm on the same day, sometimes even in the same city. Based on the historical occurrence of reported hail events, it is highly likely a hailstorm will affect the planning area in the future (see Table 14 for a definition of this probability). Magnitude / Severity Hailstorms are typically associated with thunderstorms. Despite their relatively small size, thunderstorms are large enough to impact the entire planning area. The severity of the storm would likely determine the extent of any associated damage. The severity of a hailstorm depends on the size and amount of hail. Hail several inches in diameter can cause severe damage to an urbanized area (broken windows, down trees and power lines, and automobile damage). Hail as small as 0.5 inch diameter can cause damage to crops and other plants. Warning Time The National Weather Service has developed effective weather advisories which are promptly and widely distributed. Radio, TV, and Weather Alert Radios provide the most immediate means to do this. Accurate information is made available to public officials and the public in advance of the storm. Again, weather prediction capabilities have made significant improvements in the past few years. There are several notifications made by the National Weather Service. These include severe thunderstorm watch, severe thunderstorm warning, tornado watch, tornado warning, flash flood watch, and flash flood warning. Despite these advancements in technology, the potential for a storm to form quickly and without warning still exists. Duration The duration of a hailstorm is dependent upon the severity and intensity of the storm. A storm with pea -size hail will have less impact than a storm with ping- pong or larger hail. However, in general hailstorms are finished within an hour or two.

Winter Storms Definition and Description Severe winter storms are weather conditions that affect day-to-day activities. The various types of severe winter storms are described in Table 37. Winter storms are common during the winter months of October through April. The various types of extreme winter weather cause considerable damage. Heavy snows cause immobilized transportation systems, downed trees and power lines, collapsed buildings, and loss of livestock and wildlife. Loose snow begins to drift when the wind speed reaches 9 to 10 mph under freezing conditions. The potential for some drifting is substantially higher in open country than in urban areas where buildings, trees, and other features obstruct the wind. Frigid temperatures and wind chills are dangerous to people, particularly the elderly and the very young. Dangers include frostbite or hypothermia. Water pipes, livestock, fish and wildlife, and pets are also at risk from extreme cold and severe winter weather. Historical Occurrence Since 1996, Black Hawk County has experienced 85 different severe winter weather events. The National Centers for Environmental Information. The breakdown of these events in Black Hawk County goes as follows: 14 blizzard events, seven cold/wind chill events, eight frost/freeze events, 18 heavy snow events, 12 ice storm events, 25 winter storm events, and one winter weather event. These events have caused a combined total of $3,654,775 in property damage and $4,294,118 in crop damage. Table 38 outlines the details of these events. Heavy Snow Storm Four inches or more of snow in a six -hour period, or six inches or more in a 12-hour period causing hazardous conditions in the community that can slow or stop the flow of vital supplies as well as disrupting emergency and medical services. Sleet Storm Significant accumulation of solid ice pellets causing slippery surfaces. Ice Storm Significant accumulation of rain freezing on trees, power lines, causing slippery and hazard road surfaces and damage to communication and utilities. Blizzard Sustained 35-44 mph winds, 32-11 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures, blowing snow, frequent one -quarter -mile visibility, and white -out conditions over an extended period of time. Severe Blizzard 44+ mph winds, temperatures of 10 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, a high density of blowing snow with visibility generally measured in feet for an extended period of time. Wind Chill The felt air temperature on exposed skin due to wind. The colder the air temperature is on warmer objects the faster heat loss results on said warmer object, resulting in frostbite, hypothermia, and even death Frigid Very cold outside temperatures below freezing.

Magnitude / Severity Although the developments in technology have been very beneficial in reducing the long-term negative effects of winter storms, certain dangers still exist. The maximum threat of winter conditions would be realized if it was accompanied by power outages and elimination of travel due to hampered road conditions. This could result in the inability for some of the population to maintain temperatures necessary for the human body. In addition, long winter events that eliminate communication could result in the reduction of adequate medical response time. Depending on the type, duration, and the size of the event, the entire population could feel the effect of a winter storm. Generally, due to existing snow removal services and other community services, the effects of winter storms on Black Hawk County are short term. For most storms, travel and communication is usually an option in less than 24 hours after a given event. Warning Time TABLE 38 (CONT.)

Radio, TV, and Weather Alert Radios provide the most immediate means to do this. Accurate information is made available to public officials and the public up to days in advance. Again, weather prediction capabilities have made significant improvements in the past few years. There are several notifications made by the National Weather Service. These include winter storm watch, winter storm warning, blizzard warning, winter weather advisory, and a frost/freeze advisory. Duration Depending on the size of a severe winter storm, it can stay in the planning area for hours up to days. Recovery from large severe winter storms can last days or even weeks in very rural potions of the county. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 241 of 728 74 Extreme Heat Definition and Description Extreme Heat happens when summertime weather is substantially hotter and/or more humid than average for a given location at that time of the year. This includes temperatures (including heat index) in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or at least three successive days of 90+ degrees Fahrenheit. A heat advisory is issued when temperatures reach 105 degrees and a warning is issued at 115 degrees. When these extreme heat events occur, and even more so when they are prolonged, people, livestock, pets, wild animals and plant life are all affected to some degree. In humans, extreme heat events make individuals much more susceptible to such heat related illnesses as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat rash, and heat stroke. Several factors affect the body's ability to cool itself during extremely hot weather. When the humidity is high, sweat will not evaporate as quickly, preventing the body from releasing heat quickly. Other conditions related to risk include age (the elderly and young children), obesity, fever, dehydration, heart disease, mental illness, poor circulation, sunburn, and prescription drug use and alcohol use.

The susceptibility to heat varies on the type of animal and whether or not they have access to water to avoid dehydration. Plant life can also suffer substantially during prolonged heat waves, especially if they occur in conjunction with moderately dry conditions or even drought. This is of substantial concern to the community as the area is surrounded by primarily agricultural uses. Any negative effects on the surrounding farm economy would undoubtedly have some impact on the communities' well-being. Perhaps a more accurate measure of heat and how it can impact animal and plant life is the heat index. Sometimes referred to as the "apparent temperature" the heat index, given in degrees Fahrenheit, is an accurate measure of how hot it really feels when the relative humidity (RH) is added to the actual air temperature. For an example of how the heat index is determined a Heat Index Chart has been included for your review in Figure 6. Historical Occurrence According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, there have been two reported "excessive heat" events and one "heat" event in Black Hawk County since 1996. The excessive heat event took place on July 15, 2011 and caused $135,000 in property damage. The second event occurred on July 18, 2019 and caused no damage. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 242 of 728 75 Probability Based on historical occurrences of heat and excessive heat events, the probability of another heat or excessive heat event is unlikely for Black Hawk County (see Table 14 for a definition of this probability). Magnitude / Severity The impacts of extreme heat events have historically been known to cause death. This possibility remains today. The severity of a heat wave event would likely be multiplied if it occurred in conjunction with other events such as a drought or a power failure. If the air were extremely dry this would increase the rate of dehydration among plants and animals. If a power failure were to occur, air conditioners, fans, freezers, and refrigerators would cease to operate. As these are items used to alleviate the stresses of heat waves, their loss would contribute to the severity of the disaster. Within the planning area, it is anticipated that the actual impacts of a heat or excessive heat event would be less severe than what could potentially happen. More likely, a heat wave would likely result in increased energy consumption as a result of more air conditioning units operating. Increased numbers of people at public places such as malls, movie theaters, and swimming pools is also anticipated. Companies and organizations that rely on outdoor labor would likely see a reduction in productivity. Plant life would suffer severe stress possibly stunting growth, hurting crop yields, and thereby affecting the local economy. Costs to the planning area directly may occur if roads, sidewalks, and foundations expanded enough to cause structural damage. Warning Time Heat waves are generally well forecasted; therefore, the onset speed is at least 24 hours. When temperatures or heat indices rise to dangerous levels, the National Weather Service will initiate alert procedures. Duration Extreme heat conditions have been known to last days and even weeks with little to no relief. Page 243of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 76 Drought Definition and Description Drought is a period of prolonged lack of precipitation for weeks at a time producing severe dry conditions. There are three types of drought conditions that are relevant to Iowa: • Meteorlogic drought, which refers to precipitation deficiency; • Hydrological drought, which refers to declining surface water and groundwater supplies; and • Agricultural drought, which refers to soil moisture deficiencies. Droughts can be spotty or widespread and last from weeks to a period of years. A prolonged drought can have serious economic impact on a community. Increased demand for water and electricity may result in shortages of resources. Moreover, food shortages may occur if agricultural production is damaged or destroyed by a loss of crops or livestock. While droughts are generally associated with extreme heat, droughts can and do occur during cooler months. Table 39 lists the various intensities of droughts and the various means of measuring droughts. Historical Occurrences According to National Centers for Environmental Information, there have been four summers with drought events in Black Hawk County since January 1, 1996 causing an estimated total of $96,000,000 in crop damage. These occurred in 2001, 2003, 2012, and 2013. The longest of these drought events was during the summer of 2012 when drought conditions began in late June and continued into October. Using the existing crop prices at that time, the loss total was in excess of $2.6 billion statewide during that summer. There have been no injuries or fatalities associated with drought events in Black Hawk County. Probability Based on historical data, a drought event occurred on 22.2% of the years from 1996 to the current date. There have been no recorded drought events from 2013 to the current date. The likelihood of future drought events in Black Hawk County remains likely (see Table 14 for a definition of this probability). Magnitude / Severity A drought would likely affect the entire planning area. Due to the dependence of precipitation and water, the agricultural community of Black Hawk County would be impacted the most. Though agricultural areas would be the most adversely impacted, the entire planning area and State of Iowa would likely feel at least some level of impact.

Droughts generally affect a large region, as opposed to a small area. Because the planning area is located in a primarily agricultural region the maximum threat would come to those who work directly with agriculture who rely on rainfall for their livelihood. As a result of the negative effects of drought on the farmers in the area, those who supply goods and services to the agricultural community would also stand to suffer substantial financial losses. Services provided to the planning area could also be disrupted if the drought resulted in a lower water table, rendering wells inefficient or not allowing enough water for adequate firefighting purposes. Droughts rarely result in loss of human life. In addition, property damage is not a direct impact of droughts, but drought conditions that may increase the fire hazard could be an indirect impact. The committee considered the fire risk in their estimate of potential damages to crops. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page245of728 78 Warning Time Although many efforts are made to anticipate droughts it is nearly impossible to be accurate with these predictions due to unlimited variable that factor in to such a prediction. Warning time is not a concern with a drought as the onset of drought can take weeks, months, and sometimes even years to feel the effects. Duration The duration of a drought can affect the planning area for days and weeks, sometimes months. Expansive Soils Definition and Description Expansive soils are soils and soft rock that tend to swell or shrink excessively due to changes in moisture content. The effects of expansive soils are most prevalent in regions of moderate to high precipitation, where prolonged periods of drought are followed by long periods of rainfall. The hazard occurs in many parts of the Southern Central, and Western United States. Recent estimates put the annual damage from expansive soils as high as $7 billion. However, because the hazard develops gradually and seldom presents a threat to life, expansive soils have received limited attention, despite their costly effects. Historical Occurrences Historical records of damage due to expansive soils are not kept on a county -wide scale due to the timeframe of such events. Likewise, there are no historical records for the planning area for expansive soils. Probability Black Hawk County, along with most of the Cedar River watershed, is situated in an area underlain by soils with little to no clays with swelling potential. As such, the probability of future expansive soils events is unlikely (see Table 14 for a definition of this probability). Magnitude / Severity The availability of data on expansive soils varies greatly. Little information is reported other than field observations of the physical characteristics of clay. Thus, the maximum threat of expansive soils would be limited to a specific location. The most extensive damage from expansive soils occurs to highways and streets. Houses and one-story commercial buildings are more apt to be damaged by the expansion of swelling than are multi -story buildings, which usually are heavy Page 246of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 79 enough to counter swelling pressures. The most obvious manifestations of damage to buildings are sticking doors, uneven floors, and cracked foundations, floors, walls, ceilings, and windows. Warning Time The speed of onset is very slow, and is consistent with other geological hazards that occur over time. However, there are few warning signs of expansive soils until after structural damage becomes apparent, and that structural damage may occur slowly or extremely quickly. Duration The duration of an expansive soil event can be over within hours, days, or weeks depending up on the severity and location of the occurrence. Recovery is also depending upon the impact area. Sinkholes Definition and Description Sinkholes are naturally occurring, roughly circular depression in the land surface, formed most commonly in areas of limestone bedrock. There are two types of sinkhole: cover collapse sinkhole and cover subsidence sinkhole. A cover collapse sinkhole happens when the limestone bedrock is covered by a variable thickness of sand, silt, and clay. This overburden may bridge subsurface cavities for long periods of time. Eventually a catastrophic collapse of the overburden into the subsurface cavity may occur, and a sinkhole is formed. A cover subsidence sinkhole is formed where overburden is relatively thin (a few feet to tens of feet). In this setting, as subsurface solution occurs, the land surface gradually subsides into the void below, since it lacks the cohesiveness to form a significant "bridge" across the void. Cover -subsidence sinkholes are often mistaken for other land subsidence features, since they do not form in as spectacular a manner as the cover -collapse sinkhole. One common indicator of a cover subsidence sinkhole is the formation of cracks in nearby buildings or in roads. Under natural conditions, sinkholes usually form rather slowly, over the course of many years. However, some human activities can trigger abrupt sinkhole formation, or accelerate processes that have been going on for a long time. Activities such as dredging, diversion of surface drainage systems, or pumping of ground water can accelerate the natural growth of sinkholes. Sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface is limestone, carbonate rock, salt beds, or rocks that can naturally be dissolved by ground water circulating through them. As the rock dissolves, spaces and caverns develop underground. Sinkholes are dramatic because the land usually stays intact for a while until the underground spaces just get too big. If there is not enough support for the land above the spaces then a sudden collapse of the land surface can occur. New sinkholes have been correlated to land -use practices, especially from ground -water pumping and from construction and development practices. Sinkholes can also form when natural water -drainage patterns are changed and new water -diversion systems are developed. Some sinkholes form when the land surface is changed, such as when industrial and runoff -storage ponds are created. The substantial weight of the new material can trigger an underground Page 247of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 80 collapse of supporting material, thus causing a sinkhole. The overburden sediments that cover buried cavities in the aquifer systems are delicately balanced by ground -water fluid pressure. The water below ground is actually helping to keep the surface soil in place. Ground -water pumping for urban water supply and for irrigation can produce new sinkholes in sinkhole -prone areas. If pumping results in a lowering of ground -water levels, then underground structural failure, and thus, sinkholes, can occur. Historical Occurrences Sinkholes have occurred in Black Hawk County in the past. Most recently, the Waterloo -Cedar Falls Courier announced the existence of a sinkhole on Schrock Road in Waterloo on May 21, 2011. Also, after the flood of 2008, the Cedar Valley Nature Trail experienced major flood damage including trail washouts, damage to bridges, and sinkholes. Probability With many different soil types, a high prevalence of precipitation, and current agricultural practices which focus on re -directing natural water flow, the probability of sink holes is occasional (see Table 14 for a definition of this probability). The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) hosts the online Natural Resources Geographic Information Systems Library which features shapefiles for several geological occurrences including sinkholes. Notwithstanding hundreds of sinkholes in northeast Iowa identified by both the Iowa DNR and the National Resources Conservation Service (including several in neighboring Bremer and Butler Counties), no sinkholes have been identified by these organizations in Black Hawk County. It should be noted, however, that shallow carbonite bedrock does exist in numerous areas throughout the county and has been known to cause sinkholes. Therefore, while there is only one known historical occurrence of sinkholes in the county, described above, the risk of further sinkholes certainly remains. Magnitude / Severity The maximum threat of a sinkhole would be limited to the precise location of said event. Unknown sinkholes on property located near and around a structure could have a significant impact on the structure(s) in the immediate area. Personal property located near the sinkhole would also be consumed in the event of a collapse. Warning Time Sinkholes development tends to be a slow yet gradual process. Land use practices in the area, soil type in addition to a number of other factors will impact the speed of onset. By identifying these areas, property owners will be able to implement the necessary precautions to slow and potentially eliminate the development of a sinkhole. Page 248of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 81 Duration A sinkhole can affect the location in which it occurred for weeks. Landslide Definition and Description A landslide is a downward and outward movement of slope -forming materials reacting under the force of gravity. Landslides occur when masses of rock, earth, or debris move down a slope. Although gravity acting on an over -steepened slope is the primary reason for a landslide, there are other contributing factors: • Erosion by rivers, glaciers, or ocean waves create over -steepened slopes • Rock and soil slopes are weakened through saturation by snowmelt or heavy rains • Earthquakes create stresses that make weak slopes fail • Earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 and greater have been known to trigger landslides • Volcanic eruptions produce loose ash deposits, heavy rain, and debris flows • Excess weight from accumulation of rain or snow, stockpiling of rock or ore, from waste piles, or from man-made structures may stress weak slopes to failure and other structures Slope material that becomes saturated with water may develop a debris flow or mud flow. The resulting slurry of rock and mud may pick up trees, houses, and cars, thus blocking bridges and tributaries causing flooding along its path (USGS). Landslides commonly occur in connection with other major natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, wildfires, and floods. (USGS) Historical Occurrences According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, there have been no reported landslide events in Black Hawk County between 1996 and 2019. It is possible that landslides have occurred before 1996, however there is no data available to determine whether this is true. Probability Based on lack of reported landslides in the past, the probability of a landslide occurring in Black Hawk County is unlikely (see Table 14 for definition of this probability). If a landslide were to occur, it would most likely take place on a steep sloping area along one of the county's rivers. Probability is increased significantly in areas with sloping land cleared of timber and shrubbery. Page 249of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 82 Magnitude / Severity Maximum threat exists to those property owners located at the top or bottom of steep sloping areas without trees or shrubbery to absorb excessive amount of moisture. For structures located at the top or bottom of a landslide the severity of impact could be devastating. Earth giving way from underneath a structure could result in the structure giving way also. All ground that does give way will then topple onto the anything located below. Warning Time Great amounts of precipitation and moisture over time will greatly increase the warning time of a landslide event; however, there is no official warning system in place, thus the warning time would be short. Duration Landslides are typically over within hours of occurring. Earthquakes Definition and Description An earthquake is a shaking or trembling of the earth that is volcanic or tectonic in origin. Ground shaking from earthquakes can collapse buildings and bridges; disrupt gas, electric, and phone service; and sometimes trigger flash floods and fires. Buildings with foundations resting on unconsolidated landfill and other unstable soil, and trailers and homes not tied to their foundations are at risk because they can be shaken off their mountings during an earthquake. Earthquakes are generally associated with plate tectonics or volcanic activity, but a third type includes artificial earthquakes. In other words, a large explosion can cause the earth to quake resulting in substantial damage (see Table 40).

Historical Occurrences Iowa as a whole has experienced the effects of only a few earthquakes in the past 175 years. The epicenters of 12 earthquakes have been located in the state. The first known occurrence was in 1867 near Sidney in southwest Iowa; the most recent occurrence was in 1948 near Oxford in east -central Iowa. The largest Iowa earthquake (Mercalli magnitude VI) occurred near Davenport in southeast Iowa in 1934. None of these events were instrumentally recorded. On January 26, 1925 an earthquake occurred with a reported epicenter near Waterloo, Iowa. The event registered a magnitude of II (2) on the Mercalli Scale. Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is commonly used in the United States by seismologists seeking information on the severity of earthquake effects. Intensity ratings are expressed as Roman numerals between I, at the low end, and XII at the high end. According to FEMA a Mercalli magnitude II earthquake is described as follows: "II. A few people might notice movement if they are at rest and/or on the upper floors of tall buildings." 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 251 of 728 84 While no other earthquakes with epicenters in Iowa have noticeably impacted the community, epicenters far way can have minor effects on the region. For example, in 2002 an earthquake with an epicenter in Alaska caused temporary "black water" to occur in local wells. Probability Historic seismicity in the upper Midwest in relation to the regional structural geology from 1800 to present has been slight. Though Iowa has experienced a small number of minor earthquake events, only one of these was reported in Black Hawk County. Assuming historic trends remain unchanged, the probability of an earthquake occurring in the planning area is unlikely (see Table 14 for a definition of this probability). Magnitude / Severity Although the likelihood of occurrence is small, if an earthquake did occur it would affect the entire proximity of the planning area. The damages associated with an earthquake would likely be relatively low. However, when considering a worst -case scenario, a larger earthquake would have catastrophic effects on the planning area should it occur. Warning Time Highest hazard Colors on this map show tiro la vats of horiruntai shaking that have a 2-in-IOOchance of being exceeded in a 50-year period. Shaking is expressed as a percentage of g (g is the acceleration ofa failing object due to gravity). FIGURE 7: EARTHQUAKE PROBABILITY MAP Source: USGS Earthquake prediction is an inexact science. Even in areas that are well monitored with instruments, such as California's San Andreas Fault Zone, scientists only very rarely predict earthquakes. Duration The duration of an earthquake would be minutes; however, if the earthquake was large enough, the planning area would feel aftershocks for hours — even days later. Page 252 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 85 Infrastructure Failure Definition and Description This hazard includes communication failure, energy failure, structural failure, and structural fire. Energy Failure or disruption is the loss of power as a result of a natural, man-made, or technological disaster or failure. Energy, for purposes of this plan, can also be described as a loss of power. For example, electricity is lost because a power line was accidentally cut; there was a malfunction at the power plant, etc. Another scenario would include the loss of natural gas, a fuel used by most in the community for purposes of heating and occasionally cooking. Communication failure is the widespread breakdown or disruption of normal communication capabilities. This could include major telephone outages, loss of local government radio facilities, and long-term interruption of electronic broadcast services, language barriers, and unfamiliarity with common emergency response terminology. Emergency 911, law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, public works, and emergency warning systems are just a few of the vital services which rely on communication systems to effectively protect citizens. Businesses and industry also rely heavily on various communication media. Mechanical failure, traffic accidents, power failure, line severance, and weather can affect communication systems and disrupt service. Disruptions and failure can range from localized and temporary to widespread and long-term. If switching stations are affected, outage could be more widespread. Communications failure can also be realized when individuals who speak different languages try to communicate, or when people use unfamiliar terminology. These types of communications failure are exacerbated during times of disaster. Structural Failure is the collapse (part or all) of any public or private structure including roads, bridges, towers, and buildings. A road, bridge, or building may collapse due to the failure of the structural components or because the structure was overloaded. Natural events such as heavy snow may cause a roof of a building to collapse under the weight of the snow. Heavy rains and flooding can undercut and washout a road or bridge. The age of the structure is sometimes independent of the cause of the failure. Enforcement of building codes can better guarantee that structures are designed to hold up under normal conditions. Routine inspection of older structures may alert inspectors to "weak" points. The level of damage and severity of the failure is dependent on factors such as the size of the building or bridge, the number of occupants of the building, the time of day, day of week, amount of traffic on the road or bridge, and the type and amount of products stored in the structure. For this profile, fire is an uncontrolled fire in populated area that threatens life and property and is beyond normal day-to-day response capabilities. Structural fires present a far greater threat to life and property and the potential for much larger economic losses. Modern fire codes and fire suppression requirements in new construction and building renovations, coupled with improved firefighting equipment, training, and techniques, lessen the chance and impact of a major urban fire. Most structural fire occur in residential structures, but the occurrence of a fire in a commercial or industrial facility could affect more people and pose a greater threat to those near the fire or fighting the fire because the volume or type of the material involved. Page 253 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 86 According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), eighty-five percent of fire deaths occur in the home (one -or two-family dwellings, apartments or manufactured housing). 72% of all fire deaths result from fires in one- and two-family dwellings, including manufactured homes.Most fires occur as a result of natural causes (i.e. lightning), accidents (i.e. gas leaks), carelessness (i.e. smoking in close proximity to combustibles), or criminal (i.e. arson) reasons. Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It is also the leading cause of home fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from unattended cooking and human error, rather than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke alarms and smolder -resistant bedding and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents. Arson is both the second leading cause of residential fires and residential fire deaths. In commercial properties, arson is the major cause of deaths, injuries and dollar loss. Heating is the third leading cause of residential fires. Heating fires are a larger problem in single-family homes than in apartments. Unlike apartments, the heating systems in single-family homes are often not professionally maintained. Historical Occurrences On numerous occasions there has been localized loss of telephone service, generally due to some type of weather phenomenon (e.g. high winds, ice). There have also been short-term instances of power failure, most commonly occurring during thunderstorm and high wind events. In addition, winter ice events have caused power failures in the community in the past. There are no recorded instances of structural failure in Black Hawk County, nor are there any known instances of energy shortages. However, there have been a number of structural fire events in the county, typically house fires. Probability Every city in the planning area has rated the probability of an infrastructure failure either unlikely or occasional (see Table 14 for a definition of this probability). However, because infrastructure failure is such a broad category, it is likely the county will experience some kind of power outage, communication failure, or structural fire sometime in the future. Magnitude / Severity The magnitude and severity of an infrastructure failure ranges from trivial to catastrophic. Regarding events that are most likely to take place, such as a brief power outage caused by a thunderstorm, the effects would be relatively insignificant. However, if a major structural failure event occurred, such as a building or bridge collapse, the magnitude of such an event would be unprecedented considering the scope of the property damage, personal injury, and likely fatalities that would ensue. Warning Time Page 254 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 87 The warning time for the conditions that bring about infrastructure failures, such as a severe thunderstorm which could potentially cause a power outage, is relatively long and could be longer than a day. However, the warning time for the event itself, rather than the conditions that could cause an event, is very little to nonexistent. For example, structural engineers might know that a structure is in critical condition for months. However, it's impossible to predict at what time that structure would ultimately fail. Duration Just as the magnitude of an infrastructure failure can vary from trivial to catastrophic, the duration of such an event can also vary tremendously depending on the type of event. Hazardous Materials Definition and Description This hazard includes fixed hazardous materials, pipeline transportation, and transportation of hazardous materials. A HAZMAT or Radiological Transportation Incident is the accidental release of chemical substances or mixtures that presents danger to the public health or safety during transportation. A hazardous substance is one that may cause damage to persons, property, or the environment when released to soil, water, or air. Chemicals are manufactured and used in ever increasing types and quantities. As many as 500,000 products pose physical or health hazards and can be defined as "hazardous chemicals." Each year, over 1,000 new synthetic chemicals are introduced and transported across the county via semi -truck and train. Hazardous substances are categorized as toxic, corrosive, flammable, irritant, or explosive. Hazardous materials incidents generally affect a localized area, and the use of planning and zoning can minimize the area of impact. Historical Occurrences According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, there were 307 incidences of hazardous materials spills in Black Hawk County since January 1, 1995. Petroleum spills made up the greatest number of spill types. Inorganic chemicals used for agriculture, i.e. anhydrous ammonia, also made up a large number of spill events. There are no known occurrences of transportation incidents involving radiological material. Page 255 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 88 Probability Large quantities of hazardous materials are transported daily on neighboring U.S. Highway 218 and railways. Roadways are a common site for the release of hazardous materials. Railways are another source for hazardous materials releases. The Department of Transportation regulates routes and speed limits used by carriers and monitor the types of hazardous materials crossing state lines. Despite increasing safeguards, more and more potentially hazardous materials are being used in commercial, agricultural, and domestic uses and are being transported on neighboring roads, highway and railways. Based on this information, as well as historical data, the likelihood of future hazardous material spills is highly likely (see Table 14 for a definition of this probability). Magnitude / Severity Most of the hazardous materials incidents are localized and are quickly contained or stabilized by the highly trained fire departments and hazardous materials teams. Depending on the characteristic of the hazardous material or the volume of product involved, the affected area can be as small as a room in a building or as large as 5 square miles or more. Many times, additional regions outside the immediately affected area are evacuated for precautionary reasons. More widespread effects occur when the product contaminates the municipal water supply or water system such as a river, lake, or aquifer. Immediate dangers from hazardous materials include fires and explosions. The release of some toxic gases may cause immediate death, disablement, or sickness if absorbed through the skin, injected, ingested, or inhaled. Contaminated water resources may be unsafe and unusable, depending on the amount of contaminant. Some chemicals cause painful and damaging burns if they come in direct contact with skin. Contamination of air, ground, or water may result in harm to fish, wildlife, livestock, and crops. The release of hazardous materials into the environment may cause debilitation, disease, or birth defects over a long period of time. Loss of livestock and crops may lead to economic hardships within the community. The occurrence of a hazmat incident often shuts down transportation corridors for hours at a time while the scene is stabilized, the product is off-loaded, and reloaded on a replacement container. Warning Time When managed properly under current regulations, hazardous materials pose little risk. However, when handled improperly or in the event of an accident, hazardous materials can pose a significant risk to the population. Hazardous materials incidents usually occur very rapidly with little or no warning. Even if reported immediately, people in the area of the release have very little time to be warned and evacuated. During some events, sheltering in -place is the best alternative to evacuation because the material has already affected the area and there is no time to evacuate safely. Public address systems, television, radio, and the NOAA Weather Alert Radios are used to disseminate emergency messages about hazardous materials incidents. Page 256 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 89 Duration The duration of a hazardous materials event is dependent upon the amount of a hazardous materials released and location of the release. A small release of gasoline or agricultural chemical on a roadway would close the road for hours for cleanup. However, a large spill in an urban community or near a body of water would impact that area and possibly the area down streams for days or weeks — depending upon the type of release. Transportation Incident Definition and Description This hazard includes all forms of transportation. A hazard to the community resulting from an incident related to or caused by any vehicle used to transport persons or items, such as cars, trucks, airplanes, trains, boats, etc. Transportation hazards can occur in any community at any time and may result in injury, loss of life, property damage, and hazardous chemical spills. The number of major transportation routes near the community increases the possibility of such a hazard. There are several locations where transportation hazards exist in the planning area. Major thoroughfares include: • Interstate 380 • US Highway 20 • US Highway 63 • US Highway 218 • Iowa Highway 21 • Iowa Highway 57 • Iowa Highway 58 • Iowa Highway 175 • Iowa Highway 281 • University Avenue In addition to the State and Federal Highway systems, the County maintains 526 miles of gravel roads and 246 miles of hard surface roadways. The County also owns and maintains 311 bridges. Although there are several private runways, the largest and only commercial airport in Black Hawk County is the Waterloo Municipal Airport. The airport provides service to private and commercial aircraft. Page 257 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 90 Historical Occurrences Traffic accidents are common occurrences in the planning area. Rural and metropolitan areas bring different sets of driving conditions and hazards. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, thousands of vehicle crashes occur each year in the state. Between 2007 and 2011, there were 1,878 crashes in Black Hawk County resulting in 15 fatalities, 81 major injuries, and 349 minor injuries. Of these crashes, 804 were related to high speeds; 540 were related to icy, snowy, and slushy conditions; 428 were related to younger drivers; 375 were related to wild animals; 233 were related to older drivers; 124 were alcohol or drug related; and 70 were related to inattentive or distracted driving. According to the Airport Master Records and Reports website, a flight from Detroit to Los Angeles landed at the Waterloo Regional Airport on June 2, 2009 as a precaution after reporting a "smoky odor" in the cabin. The flight landed without incident and no injuries were reported. Aside from hazardous materials spills, there are no known railroad transportation incidences. Probability Given the amount of traffic that travels on the major thoroughfares in Black Hawk County (listed above), the probability of future traffic accidents is highly likely. Magnitude / Severity The maximum threat of these types of accidents is not likely to directly impact a large percentage of the area of the jurisdiction. The exact area that will be affected by a traffic event will likely be small and have a minimal impact on the residents as a whole, unless a large or extremely dangerous hazardous material spill should result from the event. The same can be said for a rail disaster. Warning Time Due to their nature, there is little or no way to predict when or where a traffic accident will occur. The same can be said for rail disasters and air disasters. However, during times of inclement weather, road conditions with driving and traffic updates are made available through an interactive online map. Duration The duration of time a transportation incident would impact the planning area is dependent upon type of incident. For instance, a multiple -car incident could impact the surrounding community for a few hours, whereas a derailment blocking numerous crossings could impact the immediate area for a few days. Page 258 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 91 Radiological Definition and Description Radiological incident results in a release of radiological material at a fixed facility to include power plants, hospitals, laboratories and the like. Although the term "nuclear accident" has no strict technical definition, it generally refers to events involving the release of significant levels of radiation. Most commercial nuclear facilities in the United States were developed in the mid-1960s and are designed to withstand aircraft attack. Therefore, they should withstand most hazards even though they may not have been designed for those forces. Historical Occurrences Emergency classifications are divided into four categories. Each calls for a certain level of response from plant and government personnel. From least to most severe, the classifications are: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. Since 1990, the Duane Arnold Energy Center, which is located in Palo, is closest nuclear site to the community, has had five Unusual Events, no Alerts, and no Site Area Emergencies or General Emergencies. Probability Operators of facilities that use radioactive materials and transporters of radioactive waste are circumspect in the packaging, handling, and shipment of the radioactive waste. Since they are closely regulated by a variety of federal, state, and local organizations, the probability of an incident is unlikely. No known radiological waste is transported in close proximity to the community; therefore, the probability of a radiological incident while in transport is unlikely. The Duane Arnold Energy Center in Palo is in relatively close proximity (about 20 miles from the border of Black Hawk County or 40 miles from downtown Waterloo), but it is still considered far enough away from the community to avoid dangerous levels of radiological fallout in the event of a disaster; it is slated to shut down in 2020. Magnitude / Severity Although the Committee determined that the probability of a nuclear accident event was limited, they recognized that if an event were to occur in, or in close proximity, to the community that the entire area would be vulnerable to radiation. Time, distance, and shielding minimize radiation exposure to the body. Nuclear radiation above normal levels could be a health and safety consideration because of its ability to damage human cells biologically as well as its long-lasting effect on the environment. Depending on the level of exposure, radiation can cause loss of life, long- and short-term health effects, and property damage from contamination, as well as disruption of business because of potential Page 259 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 92 evacuations. Therefore, multiple deaths could occur, thereby affecting the operation of essential facilities throughout the community and/or planning area, at least temporarily. Warning Time Ionizing radiation cannot be seen, smelled, heard, or detected with human senses. Detection instruments are needed to indicate the existence of dangerous radiation. Distance from the incident would dictate the amount of time needed to avoid exposure from damaging radiation. Protective actions directed by state and county officials, will depend upon weather conditions and developments at the power plant. In an actual emergency, the public can turn to their local Emergency Alert System Station or NOAA Weather Radio. Duration Depending upon the severity of a radiological event, the planning area would be impacted from a few hours to possibly a day or two. In a worst -case scenario event, the duration of the ensuing fallout could last decades. Dam Failure Definition and Description Dam failure is a break in, or imposed threat from, any water retention fixture which may endanger population downstream of the containment area. Dams are constructed for a variety of uses, including flood control, erosion control, water supply impoundment, hydroelectric power generation, and recreation. Flooding, operating error, poor construction, lack of maintenance, damage due to burrowing animals, vandalism, terrorism, and earthquakes can cause dam failure. Dams are classified in the National Inventory of Dams into three categories based on the potential risk to people and property should a failure occur: 1.) High Hazard - If the dam were to fail, lives would be lost and extensive property damage could result; 2.) Significant Hazard - Failure could result in loss of life and significant property damage; and 3.) Low Hazard - Failure results in minimal property damage only. The classification may change over time because of development downstream from the dam since its construction. Older dams may not have been built to the standards of its new classification. Dam hazard potential classifications have nothing to do with the material condition of a dam, only the potential for human fatalities and/or property damage due to the size of the dam, the size of the impoundment, and the characteristics of the area downstream of the dam. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources tracks all dams in the state of Iowa with a height of at least 25 feet or a total storage of at least 50-acre feet of water. The inventory excludes all dams less than six feet high regardless of storage capacity and dams less than 15-acre feet of storage regardless of height. Page 260 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 93 Historical Occurrences The National Performance of Dams Program (NPDP) maintained by Stanford University indicates an "Inflow Flood — Hydrological Event" incident on July 17, 1968 at the original Virden Creek Dam in Waterloo. That dam was later replaced in 1979. Probability Though there have been a number of flood and flash flood events in recent years, there have been no known dam failures in Black Hawk County in over 40 years. As such, the probability of a dam failure in future years remains unlikely. Magnitude / Severity The magnitude and severity of a dam failure in Black Hawk County would depend on the dam that fails. There are 10 dams in Black Hawk County identified in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) National Inventory of Dams (NID). The dam locations are shown in Figure 8 as well as Map 51. The magnitude/severity of a dam failure event is measured by each dam's hazard potential, outlined on the previous page. According to the USACE NID, there are a total of 3,927 dams in the state of Iowa. Of these, 91.5 percent are categorized as having a low hazard potential, 5.9 percent a significant hazard potential, and 2.6 percent a high hazard potential. Because significant and high hazard potential dams are relatively uncommon in the state, it is especially important to identify their locations and consider options to minimize the impact of a dam failure event. All of the dams in Black Hawk County are situated in or near Waterloo and Cedar Falls. The following pages provide additional information about each dam. On each map, the red triangle represents the dam location, the pink lines represent levee locations, and the arrows indicate the direction of the river or stream flow.

For the purposes of this plan, it can be concluded that such damage would be limited to the Cities of Cedar Falls and Waterloo. None of the seven dams with a significant or high hazard potential is situated directly on the Cedar River or Black Hawk Creek —the two largest rivers in Black Hawk County. Rather, these dams are all situated along tributaries to the Cedar River and Black Hawk Creek. Accordingly, the majority of the damage caused by a failure of any of these dams would likely occur immediately downstream of the dam, between the dam itself and the Cedar River or Black Hawk Creek. Regarding the Cedar Falls School District, the failure of the SW Dry Run Creek Stormwater Detention Dam or the Viking Road Detention Dam could potentially impact Peet Middle School which is situated near Dry Run Creek further downstream. However, the exact magnitude of such an event depends on the nature of the event. All of the other schools are situated outside of areas likely to be affected by a dam failure in the city. The University of Northern Iowa would almost certainly experience some damage if the SW Dry Run Creek Stormwater Detention Dam failed. The University is situated immediately downstream from this dam, as shown in Figure 9.07. Low-lying areas near Dry Run Creek, south of University Avenue, would almost certainly experience a greater magnitude of damage than areas of campus situated in higher elevation areas north of University Avenue. Buildings in said low- lying areas include the following: Hillside Courts, Jennings Courts, ROTH, the Center for Energy and Environmental Education, Business and Community Services, the Industrial Technology Center, and the Biology Research Complex. Warning Time The conditions that bring about dam failures, i.e. heavy rains and river flooding, can be forecasted days in advance. However, there is no real way to predict at which point a dam will fail until just before the event occurs. Duration The length of time that a dam would impact the surrounding area depends largely on the amount of water the specific dam held back. The duration of a dam failure's impact could feasibly range from hours to months. Page 267 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 100 Terrorism Definition and Description Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives (Federal Bureau of Investigation). The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) categorizes terrorism in the United States as one of two types --domestic terrorism or international terrorism. Domestic terrorism involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are directed at elements of our government or population without foreign direction. International terrorism involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are foreign -based and/or directed by countries or groups outside the United States or whose activities transcend national boundaries. A terrorist attack can take several forms, depending on the technological means available to the terrorist, the nature of the political issue motivating the attack, and the points of weakness of the terrorist's target. Bombings have been the most frequently used terrorist method in the United States. Other possibilities include an attack at transportation facilities, an attack against utilities or other public services or an incident involving chemical or biological agents. Historical Occurrences To date, there have been no known or reported instances of any terrorist attacks having been perpetrated in or near the planning area. Probability The probability of any type of terrorism occurring in the planning area is unlikely. Magnitude / Severity The maximum threat appears to be in the three categories listed in the previous section; danger to the water supply, bio-terrorism, and an attack on a nearby nuclear facility. The severity of impact would largely depend on how quickly the planning area became aware that an event had occurred. The worst -case scenario would occur if the public had no knowledge until all or most of the population had been contaminated or poisoned before a proper response could be made. This could result in widespread sickness and potentially death. Warning Time Depending on the type of event to occur the speed of onset could vary from immediate (no time) to days, weeks, even years (poisoned water, poisoned food, financial impacts). Page 268 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 101 Duration The duration of an incident on the planning area would be dependent upon the type and size of the event. A small, remote/isolated incident would have a smaller duration than a large, urban -centered incident which could last for days or even weeks. Human Disease / Pandemic Definition and Description Disease is any impairment of normal physiological function affecting all or part of an organism, esp. a specific pathological change caused by infection, stress, etc., producing characteristic symptoms; illness or sickness in general (Collins). Also it is any medical, health, or sanitation threat to humans, plants, wildlife, domestic animals. For purposes of this discussion the topic will be contained to only communicable diseases and will largely with generalities. Communicable diseases can have devastating effects on a health of the population of a community, the health of wild and domestic animals, and on the wide variety of plant life that is present in and around the community. Some of these diseases are considered to be a greater risk to the community than others. According to the Iowa Department of Public Health website there are fourteen "Emergency Reportable Diseases or Conditions" that are to be reported by telephone immediately should they be detected. These diseases include Anthrax, Botulism, Cholera, Diphtheria, Haemophilus influenza type b invasive disease, Measles, Meningococcal invasive disease, Plague, Polimyelitis, Rabies (human), Severe acute respiratory syndrome, Small Pox, Viral hemorrhagic fever and Yellow Fever. Other events that should be immediately reported by telephone include outbreaks of any kind, unusual syndromes, uncommon diseases, or agents of terrorism such as anthrax, mustard gas, sarin gas, ricin, tularemia, and smallpox. Other diseases of recent concern include Covid-19, Monkey pox, and West Nile Virus. Also, there are a variety of sexually transmitted diseases that are monitored and treated by the medical community. These diseases include chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV/AIDS. Historical Occurrences The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020 — with over 118,000 cases of the coronavirus illness documented in more than 110 countries and territories around the world at that time. As of March 28, 2020 there were 298 cases throughout the state of Iowa, with 6 reported in Black Hawk County. As a response to the Pandemic, BHC activated its Emergency Operations Center on March 17, 2020. The Black Hawk County Health Department also created a new website at blackhawkcovidl9.com to streamline data and information. Other relatively recent occurrences include the West Nile Virus has been known to occur within the county. Historically, Pseudorabies has been a concern in hog confinement operations in the state. Small Pox and Influenza have occurred in the past on relatively large scales. Influenza is the most commonly recognized Page 269 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 102 communicable disease and has been known to occur on a regular basis. Also known as influenza, the flu is spread, or transmitted, when a person who has the flu coughs, sneezes, or speaks and sends flu virus into the air, and other people inhale the virus. The virus enters the nose, throat, or lungs of a person and begins to multiply, causing symptoms of influenza. Influenza may, less often, be spread when a person touches a surface that has flu viruses on it — a door handle, for instance — and then touches his or her nose or mouth. Probability Black Hawk County is one of the largest, most diverse counties in the State of Iowa. Furthermore, the area is a crossroads for several transportation routes, including federal highways and a commercial airport. This scenario makes the probability of some type of human disease likely in the near future. The probability is compounded when considering that the severity of many viruses is increasing as they develop more resistance to the antibiotics and medications that are currently available. While many safeguards are in place to mollify the occurrence of these disease epidemics before they occur, the probability still remains likely that an event will occur within the next year. Magnitude / Severity The severity of a human disease outbreak depends entirely on the disease itself. There are numerous safeguards that have been put into place to help deter an event before it begins, respond to an event once it does occur, and recover from an event as quickly as possible. Examples of such precautions include measures by service agencies (i.e. American Red Cross), government agencies (i.e. Black Hawk County EMA, Black Hawk County Health Department, State Veterinarian, USDA, etc.), and private medical facilities (i.e. hospitals and clinics) to detect and respond to an event before it becomes an epidemic. Warning Time Warning time for a human disease event ranges from just a few days to no time at all. This is due to the nature of human diseases in our globalized society. Because of air travel, a disease that spawns in another part of the world could feasibly reach Black Hawk County in a matter of days. Duration The duration of a human disease incident in the planning area would be dependent on the type of disease, notification and containment of said disease, and treatment. Page 270 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 103 Grass or Wildland Fire Definition and Description A grass or wildlife is an uncontrolled fire that threatens life and property in either a rural or wooded area and is beyond normal day-to-day response capabilities. Grass and wild land fires can occur when conditions are favorable such as during periods of drought when natural vegetation would be drier and subject to combustibility. Historical Occurrences Grassfires and wild land fires have historically occurred in late fall and early spring when citizens have engaged in ditch burning. Cornfield fires have been more prevalent in the fall when corn saturation and precipitation is low. Two recent instances of grassfires in Black Hawk County include one in March 2011 in Cedar Falls and another in July 2012 in Janesville. Probability The probability of a grassfire or wild land fire is occasional. The vast amount of ditch burnings that occur, the abundance of cornfields, and the lack of precipitation in spring and fall increase chances greatly. Magnitude / Severity With modern training, equipment, fire detection devices, and building regulations and inspections, most fires can be quickly contained and limited to the immediate area involved. Certain circumstances, such as the involvement of highly combustible materials or high winds, can threaten a larger area. The age and density of a particular neighborhood can also make it more vulnerable to fire due to the spreading of fire from neighboring structures. The maximum threat of fire damage in the rural areas of Black Hawk County increases with distance from a fire station. This is simply a reflection of the increased time it takes for area fire departments to respond to an event. However, even if a fire of unprecedented magnitudes for this area were to occur, it would still not impact a very large percentage of the county. Warning Time Though fire crews may know of dry conditions well in advance, grass and wild land fires provide little warning before their onset. In addition, fire spreads very rapidly especially in dry, hot, and windy conditions. The planning area has volunteer fire departments that provide fire protection for the communities and they all have mutual aid agreements with surrounding communities to assist if the need arises. Page 271 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 104 Duration The area immediate impacted by a grass or wild land fire will be impacted during the duration of the fire — either hours or depending on the size it could be days. Levee Failure Definition and Description A levee failure is the loss of structural integrity of a wall, dike, berm, or elevated soil by erosion, piping, saturation, or under seepage causing water to inundate normally dry areas. Levees constructed of compacted clay with a high plasticity tend to crack during cycles of long dry spells. During heavy rainfalls that follow the dry spells, water fills the cracks and fissures. In addition to increasing the hydrostatics forces, the water is slowly absorbed by the clay. The effect of the absorbed water is an increase in the unit weight of the clay as well as a decrease in its shear strength. This results in a simultaneous increase of the slide (driving) forces and a decrease of the resisting (shear strength) forces. Furthermore, the cyclic shrink / swell behavior of the cracked clay zone results in a progressive reduction of the shear strength of the clay, perhaps approaching its residual strength. It also results in deepening of the cracked clay zone, which may eventually reach a depth of 9 ft. or more, especially for clays with a plasticity index greater than 40. The end result may be a sloughing failure following a heavy rainfall. It is believed that fast removal of the runoff water from the interconnected network of cracks could alleviate this surface instability problem. In Black Hawk County, there are 12 levee systems, 25 miles of levees, and 286 levee structures, identified in the National Inventory of Levees. Table 41 identifies the levee systems. The average age of the reported Levees is 37 years. There are two additional levees identified in the levee centerline data available from the Iowa DNR GIS Library: one in the unincorporated area of Black Hawk County and the other in La Porte City. These two levees are shown in Figure 10 on the next page.

However, during the floods of 2008, the newly constructed levee in Cedar Falls nearly failed but was reinforced with sandbags in several locations and fortunately held. Probability It is possible that a levee failure could occur in the future, based simply on the fact that levees exist. Chances increase significantly with long snow and ice filled winters followed by rainy springs. Earthen levees reaching a certain point of saturation during a flood event will eventually result in a breach or overtopping. Magnitude / Severity Any structures behind the levee are susceptible to property damage if the levee were to fail. The map on the left, Figure 10, shows the locations of all levees in Black Hawk County. The map on the next page, Figure 11, shows a 31-foot stage flood scenario for the Waterloo Cedar Falls area. This is based on the Downtown Waterloo river gauge as shown in Figure 4. A 0.2 percent annual chance flood would be an event where the river reaches a 30.7 foot stage at the same river gauge. Accordingly, the map on Figure 11 shows a flood event slightly worse than a 0.2 percent annual Page 274 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 107 chance (i.e. 500-year) flood. As shown in Figure 11, the RDB Cedar River / RDB Black Hawk Creek levee as well as the Waste Water Treatment Plant levee are both built to withstand a 0.2 percent annual chance flood event. All other levees included in this analysis would be overtopped during such a flood event. The levee near downtown Cedar Falls was raised by an additional two feet, making it high enough to withstand a 0.2 percent annual chance flood event. This additional height protects most structures in downtown Cedar Falls including the nearby water treatment plant (shown in Map 52). Even upon completion of the levee project, these areas would still remain vulnerable during a levee failure event. In 2014, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a levee breach analysis to support risk communication and evacuation planning for the City of Cedar Falls. This included the analysis of a possible breach at three locations along the levee.

This evaluation will be used by the City for emergency preparedness planning and public communications. A very substantial area along the Cedar River in Waterloo is also susceptible to property damage in the event of a levee failure, as shown in Figure 12.1. About three blocks inland from the river on the southwest side and several blocks on the northeast side of the Cedar River are currently protected by the levees in Waterloo. This includes all of downtown Waterloo. The Waterloo Sanitation Department and treatment facilities are protected by a separate levee which, if breached, could compromise those facilities as well. Furthermore, predominantly residential areas to the north of Black Hawk Creek in Waterloo and most of the City of Evansdale are also susceptible to property damage in the event of a levee failure. The magnitude of such an event could range from trivial to catastrophic, depending on the event itself. The total population residing in areas protected by all levees is easily in the thousands. Figure 12.1 shows the approximate leveed areas in Waterloo and Evansdale, as identified in the National Levee Database. The total number of acres protected by each levee is also shown. Figure 12.2 shows the area of Cedar Falls protected by levee. Though vulnerable by river flooding, facilities in the Cedar Falls School District and the University of Northern Iowa would not likely be affected by a levee failure. This is because all of these facilities are located outside of identified leveed areas. 41. r:- FIGURE 12.1: LEVEED AREAS OF WATERLOO AND EVANSDALE Source: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National Levee Database 1 g. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 276 of 728 109 Warning Time The county would have at least a few hours to respond to rising water levels along the Cedar River and take necessary actions, e.g. sandbagging, to minimize the chance of levee failure. However, it is impossible to pinpoint at exactly what point in time a levee would fail during a flood event. Duration A complete levee failure would impact the immediate area for several days or even weeks. Animal / Plant / Crop Disease Definition and Description Disease is any impairment of normal physiological function affecting all or part of an organism, esp. a specific pathological change caused by infection, stress, etc., producing characteristic symptoms; illness or sickness in general (Collins). Also it is any medical, health, or sanitation threat to plants, wildlife, domestic animals. For purposes of this discussion the topic will be contained to only communicable diseases. Communicable diseases can have devastating effects on a health of the population of a community, the health of wild and domestic animals, and on the wide variety of plant life that is present in and around the community. Some of these diseases are considered to be a greater risk to the community than others. Some diseases that affect livestock may include (but not limited to) West Nile Virus, Equine Infectious Anemia, Johne's Disease, Foot Rot, Coccidiosis, Pinkeye, Anaplasmosis, Anthrax, Bluetongue, Brucellosis, Trichomoniasis, Tuberculosis, Pseudorabies, Brucellosis, Porcine Reproductive Respiratory Syndrome, Brucella ovis, Ovine Progressive Pneumonia, Scrapie, Micoplasma, Newcastle, Vesicular Stomatitis, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), Exotic Newcastle Disease and Rabit calicivirus disease. Some common plant diseases include cedar -apple and related rusts, anthracnose, oak wilt, Verticillium wilt, ash decline, Sphaeropsis blight of pine, Rhizosphaera of spruce, Cytospora of spruce, black knot of plum, and environmental or abiotic disease, and Dutch Elm disease among others.

The Emerald Ash Borer was identified as a significant threat to ash trees throughout the County. The emerald ash borer is a highly destructive wood -boring inspect. The ash trees make up 6% of woodland trees and up to 70% of urban trees are ash species (Iowa State University Extension 1/2011). Ash trees are no longer recommended for planting in the Midwest. Probability Black Hawk County is a crossroads for several transportation routes, increasing the likelihood of a plant, animal, or crop disease being spread into the county. However, due to the lack of widespread diseases in the past, it is unlikely that a major animal, plant, or crop disease will develop in the future. That being the case, there is a much greater likelihood of complications, such as foodborne illness in humans, resulting from bacteria and viruses originating in livestock and crops. In addition, the presence of pests, weeds, and fungi poses another threat because organisms have the potential to develop resistances against chemical sprays (e.g. pesticides, herbicides, fungicides) which, in turn, could result in widespread crop damage. Lastly, though not technically a disease, the threat from the Emerald Ash Borer poses an ever-increasing threat to ash trees in the Black Hawk County. The damage caused by this invasive species is comparable to diseases such as Dutch elm disease. Magnitude / Severity The severity of a plant, crop, or animal disease depends largely on the disease itself. Effects from a widespread crop disease in Black Hawk County could result in unprecedented crop damage. The same is true for livestock. In a worst -case scenario, a widespread outbreak of a zoonosis or foodborne illness could result in widespread illness in humans with consequences ranging from mild health issues to widespread hospitalizations and even death. Warning Time It is unlikely that there would be any warning before a plant, crop, or animal disease develops. However, it is possible that a small, localized discovery of a new disease could prevent the spread of that disease if properly contained and managed. Duration The duration of a plant, crop, or animal disease is likely to last weeks, months, or even years. This is because of the time required to first discover the disease and then develop methods to treat the disease and prevent it from spreading. Page 278 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 111 VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT Vulnerability — Identifying Assets (Critical Facilities) This section will describe the vulnerability for existing and future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities in those areas that can be impacted by the prioritized hazards. Since the majority of the hazards have an undefined hazard area or risk areas (i.e., affecting an entire planning area) the following vulnerability assessment will only address those hazards that affect a specified area — flooding (river and flash). However, due to the planning area's historical occurrences of tornados, this hazard was added to the assessment. An assessment was conducted for each municipality, and can be found in their respective appendix. Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(ii)(A): The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of the types and numbers of existing and future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the identified hazard areas... Under the auspices of the County Emergency Management office, Black Hawk County has compiled a list of shelters within the county and planning area. More details (heating source, water source, overall capacity, sleeping capacity, and feeding capacity) can be found in the County's Emergency Management Plan. The list consists of those structures that meet the specific requirements of a shelter. In addition to the provided shelter list, a number of other areas in the planning area could be designated emergency shelters in the case of an emergency. This determination would be made, taking into account the type of disaster and the proximity of the shelter to that disaster. Also, while shelter locations have been identified for use if deemed necessary, there may be occasions, such as during a radiological or HAZMAT incident, where the situation dictates sheltering "in place." Therefore, any location could potentially become a makeshift shelter for purposes of disaster response. Identifying the location of critical facilities in the planning are is important in order to assess their vulnerability to hazards, in addition to, them being important to the operation of a community and the economic sector. For instance, high -density residential or commercial development, schools, police stations, government buildings, hospitals and care facilities, airports, gas stations, hardware stores, grocery stores, and water supply systems. It is important to know the threats each hazard poses to these facilities. Black Hawk County Critical Sites Maps illustrate the location of identified critical facilities. Page 279 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 112 Vulnerability — Social Assets Populations The social vulnerability assessment identified how the hazards affect the population of the planning area and it assumes that the identified populations are more likely to require assistance during times of disaster. Therefore, the identified ppulations are generally considered more "at -risk" than the remaining population. Table 42 shows the "at -risk" population for the entire planning area. According to 2010 Census data, Iowa has an aging population and the age group of those 80 and over is increasing more rapidly than any other age group. The Iowa Department of Elder Affairs, the Area Agencies on Aging, and Iowa State University recently studied the elderly in Iowa. According to their findings, most elderly Iowans own their own homes and few live-in group living facilities such as nursing homes, assisted living, or independent living facilities. The study found that over 50 percent of the elderly lived alone. There are housing alternatives available for the elderly and low-income households in Black Hawk County. Another age group that may be unaware of the proper response to a hazard event or may be physically unable to respond as needed, is youth. Black Hawk County has 28,764 residents under the age of 18, or 21.6% of the entire population. Total population, 2017 132,960 Elderly (65 yrs and older), 2017 20,128 Youth (18 yrs and under), 2017 28,764 Householder living alone, 2010 15,120 Population living in poverty, 2017 20,248 Population in multi -family structures*, 2017 (11,046 units) 26,620 Population in mobile homes, 2017 (units x avg household size) 4,248 Group quarters population, 2010 4,297 Persons with disabilities, 2017 15,024 SOURCE: 2010 U.S. Census, 2017American Community Survey * - Structures With 3 Housing Units Or More Persons living in multi -family units can also be considered an "at -risk" group. These persons are often living in apartment complexes without a tornado shelter available. In 2017 there were a total of 11,046 housing units in structures with at least 3 housing units altogether. An estimated 26,620 people in Black Hawk County may be living in multi -family units lacking a proper tornado shelter. Based on data from the 2017 American Community Survey, there are 2009 mobile homes located throughout Black Hawk County, housing an estimated 4,841 persons. This figure includes both incorporated and unincorporated areas of the county. This accounts for approximately 3.6% of the entire population. Finally, persons living in homes located in the 100-year and 500-year floodplains are also at risk from flash flooding and river flooding. An estimated 20,061 parcels or 30 percent of all parcels in the county, are either partly or entirely within the floodplain as determined by the official Flood Insurance Rate maps (FIRMs). Throughout previous years, the planning area has participated in buy-out programs in efforts to remove houses from the floodplain. This will continue to be a priority for the planning area as opportunities for purchasing homes in the flood zones comes forward in the future. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 280 of 728 113 Vulnerability — Estimating Potential Property Losses Property valuation is an important component of hazard mitigation planning as it provides measurable data that can be used to form some type of estimate as to the potential losses a community could face in the event of a disaster. Table 43 identifies the values of structures in the Black Hawk County unincorporated area, all of which could be impacted in a hazard event. This data was used in the Vulnerability discussion in each of the Hazard Profiles. Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(ii)(B):[The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of an] estimate of the potential dollar losses to vulnerability structures identified in paragraph (c)(2)(i)(A) of this section and a description of the methodology used to prepare the estimate.

Future Development Future development within identified hazard areas can change the threat level of an area by placing critical facilities, businesses, transportation networks, 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 282 of 728 115 utilities, and populations within vulnerable areas. While it can be difficult to curb development in the planning area, it is the jurisdiction's advantage to be aware of development trends in order to successfully mitigation future hazards as risks increase. However, continued conformity with the State Building Codes and local land use ordinances and regulations (zoning, subdivision, floodplain management, etc.) will help to mitigate the effects hazards have on new and future development. Fortunately, the planning area has not experienced a significant change in development since the area is rural and the amount of development — residential, commercial, and industrial — has not changed in the past five years. Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA defines a repetitive loss property as an insurable building that has experienced two losses in a 10-year period in which each loss is $1,000 or more. River flooding is the most common cause of repetitive loss in the planning area. This HMP attempts to reduce loss by identifying potential natural and manmade hazards. As a result of many natural and manmade hazards, repairs and reconstruction area often completed in a way that returns the structure to pre -disaster condition yet does little to prevent a reoccurrence of damage. Replication of the pre -disaster conditions allows for the repetitive cycle of property damage, reconstruction, and re -damage. Hazard mitigation is needed to ensure that such cycles are broken, that post -disaster repairs and reconstruction are analyzed, and sound, less vulnerable conditions are produced. Additionally, other mitigation strategies may be considered, such as voluntary property buy-outs. Table 45 identifies the communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program and the total number of Repetitive Loss properties in each community.

The updated multi -jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan goals for Black Hawk County are as follows. These goals were adopted by each community and jurisdiction. • PROTECT: Protect the health and safety of residents, visitors, staff and emergency personnel during and after hazard events. • PREVENT: Prevent avoidable disasters. • MINIMIZE: Minimize losses to existing and future structures in hazard areas, especially critical facilities. • MAINTAIN: Maintain local services and infrastructure in order to reduce community, economic and environmental disruption during and after hazard events. • RESTORE: Return the community to either pre -disaster or improved conditions in a timely manner in the wake of a disaster. • EDUCATE: Educate the public about hazards and resources available. • ACCOUNTABILITY: Use public funds in an efficient, cost effective and fair manner. • COLLABORATE: Incorporate each jurisdiction into the Black Hawk County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Protect Accountable i j il Collaborate Prevent Minimize HMI' GOALS Educate Maintain Restore FIGURE 13: BLACK HAWK COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION GOALS Page 284 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 117 CURRENT HAZARD MITIGATION ACTIONS There were no changes to the current mitigation actions, which are grouped under six broad categories: prevention, property protection, public education and awareness, natural resource protection, emergency services, and structural projects. Detailed information for each incorporated jurisdiction can be found in their respective appendix. Prevention Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County has a Comprehensive Land Use Plan, a Subdivision Ordinance, and an Agricultural Preservation Zoning Ordinance. The Agricultural Preservation Zoning Ordinance includes the Soil Survey of Black Hawk County (published by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service in December 1978), the Flood Insurance Study (dated November 17, 1982), and the current flood insurance rate maps. The county's initial flood insurance rate maps were identified in 1982, and the current effective maps are dated 2011. The administration of the zoning ordinance is vested in the following four offices of the Black Hawk County Government: County Board of Supervisors, Planning and Zoning Commission, Board of Adjustment, and the Zoning Administrator. Property Protection Mitigation Actions Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(ii): [The mitigation strategy shall include a] section that identifies and analyzes a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions and projects being considered to reduce the effects of each hazard, with particular emphasis on new and existing buildings and infrastructure. Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(i): [The hazard mitigation strategy shall include a] description of mitigation goals to reduce or avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards. Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(iv): For multi jurisdictional plans, there must be identifiable action items specific to the jurisdiction requesting FEMA approval or credit of the plan. Numerous flood studies have been conducted within the planning area, and each participating community is a member of the National Flood Insurance Program. Following the 1999 flood events in Black Hawk County and other portions of the state, Presidential Declarations 1282 and 1277 allocated funding for residential housing buyout projects. Houses are purchased from the floodplain are then either demolished or relocated in order to not only remove people and property from harm's way, but to allow for unrestricted flow of water in the floodplain. After the 2008 flood events, 14 houses and one barn in the floodplain were acquired and demolished. It is important to note that there are several structures throughout the county that have experienced, and likely will again experience damaging water levels. According to information provided by the National Flood Insurance Program, there are reported to be 136 repetitive loss properties in Black Hawk County (see Table 45). These properties remain high priorities for each jurisdiction to have removed from the floodplain, but accomplishing this would require willingness on the part of the property owners. Each jurisdiction affected by flood damage has been involved in working with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to purchase thousands of acres of land for preservation purposes. This has resulted in numerous public park areas and the preservation of belts along rivers and streams. Black Hawk County now 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 285 of 728 118 controls over 8,000 acres of green space. These efforts allow floodwaters to spread out, causing less damage. Furthermore, the development of these preservation areas provides necessary habitat for diverse wildlife in the region. From a hazard mitigation standpoint, this program has kept structures from encroaching on identified flood hazard areas throughout the county. This is an ongoing mitigation effort that also diversifies recreation activities in the county by providing additional recreational opportunities including running, bicycling, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, fishing, hunting, and environmental education. Public Education and Awareness Mitigation Actions Various public education and awareness activities occur within the planning area. Major communication devices are Alert Iowa, E911 and Black Hawk Alert. Other communications include the Emergency Alert System, the Commercial Mobile Alert System, radio and television stations, newspapers, warning sirens, internet, and NOAA Radio Services. Online resources including Facebook, city and county websites, and message board systems are also used to education and inform the public. Emergency Services Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County Emergency Management All jurisdictions within the planning area work with the Black Hawk County Emergency Management Coordinator, based out of Waterloo. The Emergency Management Coordinator works in conjunction with local fire, rescue, police, and government officials to draft and implement workable emergency actions in the community. The communities also work with the American Red Cross Hawkeye Chapter in order to set up and operate local shelters during and/or/following a disaster. There is one American Red Cross Hawkeye Chapter office in Waterloo and two additional offices outside the planning area, one in Cedar Rapids and one in Mason City. A past and continuing mitigation effort is the Black Hawk County Contingency (Emergency) Plan that is on file with the Emergency Management Office. This plan outlines steps to be taken in the case of a large-scale emergency in Black Hawk County. This plan identifies and gives standard operating procedures that are to be followed for any number of disasters, including those disasters not covered in depth in this plan. The plan is considered to be multi -hazard and multi - jurisdictional and encompasses 15 Emergency Support Functions (ESF's): • ESF 1—Transportation • ESF 6 — Mass Care, Housing, and Human Services • ESF 11—Agriculture and Natural Resources • ESF 2 — Communications • ESF 7 — Resource Support • ESF 12 — Energy and Utilities • ESF 3 — Public Works and Engineering • ESF 8 — Health and Medical • ESF 13 — Law Enforcement (Public Safety and Security) • ESF 4 — Firefighting • ESF 9 — Search and Rescue • ESF 14 — Community Recovery • ESF 5 — Emergency Management • ESF 10 — Hazardous Materials • ESF 15 — Public Information and External Communications A list of shelters for the county can be found in ESF 6 — Mass Care. Mutual Aid agreements between all Black Hawk County Fire Departments are present. ESF 10 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 286 of 728 119 — Hazardous Materials includes a list of companies within the county that store extremely hazardous chemicals including critical sites at major intersections of highways, railroads, and pipelines. This multi -hazard plan is considered a separate document that coordinates and enhances the multi -hazard plan for Black Hawk County. The Hazardous Materials Regional Training Center provides training to fire departments and companies from around the state and country. The Hazardous Material Team, also known as the Northeast Iowa Response Group, is a division of Waterloo Fire Rescue. The training center location services as a hazardous materials quick response unit to Black Hawk County, surrounding counties, and many municipalities in a ten country region. Law Enforcement The Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department is the primary law enforcement agency in rural Black Hawk County. The jurisdiction for this agency includes the entire county. According to the Black Hawk County Sherriff's Office website, they have approximately 140 employees working in administrative, special services, field services and jail. In addition to the unincorporated parts of the county, the department provides police service for Elk Run Heights and Raymond under contract. All jurisdictions in the planning areas share dispatch services through the Joint Communication Center. Furthermore, the unincorporated communities of Dewar, Finchford, Voorhies, and Washburn are included in the service area of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Office. Police protection is provided to the City of Waterloo by the Waterloo Police Department. According to the Department's website the Police Department employs 125 sworn officers and 9 civilians for a total of 134 employees. The Police Department also has the Waterloo Police Bomb Unit, the only Bomb Unit in Black Hawk County. It is responsible for handling explosive devices and hazardous materials within the City of Waterloo and, when necessary or requested, surrounding jurisdictions. Police protection is provided to the City of Cedar Falls by the Cedar Falls Public Safety Department. According to the City of Cedar Falls, there are a total of 52 Public Safety Officers, 7 Police Officers, 12 Reserve Police Officers and eight Community Service Officers. Other police departments operating in the planning area include the Dunkerton Police Department (2 Officers), the Hudson Police Department (4 Officers), the Evansdale Police Department (7 full time Officers, 8 part-time Officers, 7 reserve Officers) the La Porte City Police Department, the Gilbertville Police Department (5 Officers), and the Iowa State Patrol. In addition, the City of Jesup, which is situated on the border of Black Hawk County and neighboring Buchanan County, has its own Police Department which operates within city boundaries. Fire Protection There are ten independent fire departments in the county. Each department is responsible for fire protection services to a particular area within the county. Medical Facilities Page 287 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 120 Black Hawk County is presently a regional health care center. In addition to numerous private clinics and practicing physicians, Black Hawk County has four major medical facilities, all of which are located in either Waterloo or Cedar Falls. Three of these facilities are considered Regional Hospitals, otherwise referred to as Level II. Mercy One and Unity Point Hospital are located in Waterloo. Mercy One (formerly Sartori Memorial Hospital) is also located in Cedar Falls. In addition to the Regional Hospitals, there are several clinics throughout Black Hawk County. In addition to the medical health field, Black Hawk County has services available to deal with those who require mental health assistance. Black Hawk -Grundy Mental Health Center provides psychiatric and counseling services to citizens who are in need of support. Black Hawk County currently has eight (8) ambulance services providing coverage throughout the County. Of these eight services, one is an Emergency Medical Technician - Intermediate (EMT -I) or Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) level service, and the other seven services operate at Paramedic or above with one operating as an Air Ambulance. These services can be activated by dialing the E-911 Emergency Response System. There are approximately 17 medical hospitals located outside of, but within forty miles of Black Hawk County. HAZMAT The Hazardous Materials Regional Training Center provides training to fire departments and companies from around the state and country. The Hazardous Material Team, also known as the Northeast Iowa Response Group, is a division of Waterloo Fire Rescue. The training center location services as a hazardous materials quick response unit to Black Hawk County, surrounding counties, and many municipalities in a ten country region. The Waterloo Police Department has the only Bomb Unit in Black Hawk County. It is responsible for handling explosive devices and hazardous materials within the City of Waterloo and, when necessary or requested, surrounding jurisdictions. Warning Systems As of 2019, there are approximately 48 warning sirens throughout the planning area. Black Hawk County Emergency Management operates two sirens in unincorporated Black Hawk County. These sirens are located in Finchford and Washburn. The City of Waterloo currently has in place approximately 20 sirens; Cedar Falls, 13 sirens; Hudson, one siren; Evansdale, three sirens; Elk Run Heights, no sirens; Raymond, one siren; Gilbertville, one siren; Dunkerton, two sirens; and La Porte City, two sirens. Siren tests are conducted on the first Wednesday of every month throughout Black Hawk County unless the temperature is below the freezing point, the first Wednesday of the month falls on a national holiday, or unless the siren could be interpreted as a real warning due to inclement weather at the time. See Appendix J, Critical Sites Maps for siren locations. In addition to these traditional warning systems, river gages are located throughout the county that can provide early warning for citizens of Black Hawk County as well as communities downstream of the county. Three digital gages remain in operation in Black Hawk County. These gages are located along the Cedar River Page 288 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 121 in Cedar Falls, along the West Fork Cedar River near Finchford, and on the Cedar River in Waterloo. In addition to these real time gages there is also a more traditional sight gage in Gilbertville. Just to the north of the Black Hawk — Bremer County line, near Janesville is another gage on the Cedar River. Historically, there has been a gage near Hudson that monitored Black Hawk Creek. Currently, this gage is inactive. There has been discussion of reinitiating the operation of this gage as it can act as an effective warning device for those residents living near Black Hawk Creek downstream from Hudson. The City of Waterloo, in order to have some indication of the flow level along Black Hawk Creek operates its own gage along its southern border. NOAA Radio service is available in Black Hawk County that can provide warning if used. These radios are available to the public at large but are not provided by the public sector. Radio station KWLO is the designated Emergency Alert System contact for Black Hawk County Emergency Management. They provide weather alerts via broadcast to the public. Alert Iowa is a statewide mass notification and emergency messaging system. The system can be used by state and local authorities to quickly disseminate emergency information to residents in counties that utilize the system. Up until July 2012, Black Hawk County was served by the CodeRED Emergency Notification System — a high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. The Alert Iowa system be activated in the event of an emergency/hazard, essentially contacting each citizen residing within harm's way with an automated message warning them of potential danger. All citizens' home telephone numbers listed in the County's phone directory are automatically entered into the system. Citizens also have the ability to "opt in" to receive weather alerts and enter a cell phone, work phone, and other additional alternative phone numbers. Natural Resource Protection Mitigation Actions Section VIII of the Black Hawk County Agricultural Land Preservation and Zoning Ordinance addresses natural resource protection and preservation. It states that land identified as sensitive or significant shall be subject to regulations and provisions of the "E-S" Environmentally Sensitive Overly District. Structural Projects Mitigation Actions Hazard mitigation practices take shape in many forms. One of the most prevalent forms of hazard mitigation is practiced by Black Hawk County in the form of road improvement. Black Hawk County maintains approximately 791 miles of roadway (552 miles of gravel and 239 miles of paved roads), according to the Engineer Department. Ongoing and continuing efforts are being made toward hazard mitigation. These efforts first include an ongoing shouldering program. This program widens the shoulders of roads allowing for safer travel. The county is continuously involved in road improvement. Specifically, bridge improvements work toward the goal of hazard mitigation. The Iowa Department of Transportation has specific standards that must be adhered to when accepting funding for road improvement. Therefore, usually when a bridge is improved the flow capacity of the bridge is also increased. This goes directly toward the alleviation of flooding caused by water backed up behind bridges and roadways. Page 289 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 122 A very costly mitigation and recovery effort engaged by the county is the removal of silt from road ditches. When flooding or heavy rainfall occurs there is a substantial amount of sedimentation that settles in the drainage ditches. This sedimentation results in the plugging of culverts and the reduced water capacity of the drainage ditches. Reduced water capacity in these ditches allow for the water too more easily top roadways causing treacherous driving conditions and damage to roadways. Efforts to reduce the accumulation of silt and rubbish in culvert and bridge span areas are being made by encouraging the use of filter strips near these facilities. The idea of a filter strip is to develop a tall grass waterway that would essentially "filter" surface water flow during a heavy rainfall. This filtering process reduces the amount of such items as corn stalks from plugging culverts and helps to prevent massive quantities of topsoil being lost to erosion. This filter strip program is a cooperative effort between private landowners, Black Hawk County, and the NRCS. Damage to roadways is a recovery effort that Black Hawk County has had to deal with numerous times as a result of past flood events. The county has demonstrated continual efforts to curb these types of events from causing damage. They have done this with numerous repair, placement, and replacement of bridges and culverts throughout the county. As flooding events occur, problem areas are more easily identified. One area of the county that has had significant trouble is the North Cedar/Big Woods Drainage Area, located north of the Waterloo/Cedar Falls metropolitan area along Highway 218. Identification of these problems has led to several short-term steps to help control flooding in this area. Some alternative solutions that have been arrived at as a result of studies in the area are discussed in the Mitigation Alternatives section of this plan. Page 290 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 123 FUTURE HAZARD MITIGATION ACTIVITIES While the existing mitigation activities discussed above detail the comprehensive efforts to mitigate hazards when possible and to respond to hazards in a timely and efficient manner, the Committee also recognizes that there are many more mitigation activities and projects that would benefit community residents. Thus, the Committee developed an updated list (Action Plan) of future hazard mitigation activities that, if accomplished, would serve to further reduce the risk of hazards to the community. The action plan may include a combination of projects the Committee feels the community should try to accomplish and mitigation efforts that are ongoing that the Committee view as vital to the continued well-being of the public. Table 47 identifies the action plan for Black Hawk County Unincorporated area. Action Plans for each participating jurisdiction can be found in their respective appendix. S —Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do not adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A — Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P — Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L — Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E — Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. Action Plan — Black Hawk County Unincorporated The Committee analyzed the identified mitigation activities that are either new or carried over from previous/current plans. This analysis included a discussion of the potential benefits of implementing the activity, some hurdles that the community may face in implementing the action step, and the drawbacks of implementation. The analysis utilized the STAPLEE feasibility criteria. The STAPLEE technique is a FEMA suggested method of evaluation. The STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental (see Table 46 for definitions). The Committee was asked to discuss the STAPLEE elements and determine each element's ranking (i.e. high, medium, low) for each identified future mitigation activity. Afterward, the average priority for each mitigation activity was recorded as the overall priority ranking for that particular future mitigation activity. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 291 of 728 124 Timeline The Committee identified the time period each of the proposed mitigation activity will occur. For instance, if the activity happens regularly (either daily, weekly, monthly, or annually) it was identified as Active; if it will occur within the next 1-5 years it was identified as Short - Term; if the activity would take 5-10 years to occur it was labeled as Mid -Term; and all activities that would take 10 or more years to occur were identified as Long -Term. Funding Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(iii): [The mitigation strategy section shall include] an action plan describing how the actions identified in section (c)(3)(ii) will be prioritized, implemented, and administered by the local jurisdiction. Prioritization shall include a special emphasis on the extent to which benefits are maximized according to a cost benefit review of the proposed projects and their associated costs. Although in the long-term hazard mitigation actions will save money by avoiding the loss of lives or property damages, in the short-term each action will have an associated cost. The local community will rely heavily on local funding sources to fulfill most of the plan obligations; however, they will also seek funds from State and Federal agencies for both pre- and post -disaster mitigation activities. In addition, private property owner expenses will be necessary to implement some activities. The estimated cost(s) for each mitigation action, program, or project is identified as minimal, low, moderate, or high depending upon various factors. • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate : Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High : Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources.

After the public has had the opportunity to review the proposed amendments the City Council and/or Board of Supervisors may, by resolution, choose to accept any amendment to the plan. Once the City Council and/or Board of Supervisors has adopted the amendment, the remaining elected board of each participating municipality shall hold a public hearing to receive public input on the amendment prior to local adoption. Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(i): [The plan maintenance process shall include a] section describing the method and schedule of monitoring, evaluating, and updating the mitigation plan within a five-year cycle. Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(ii): [The plan shall include a] process by which local governments incorporate the requirements of the mitigation plan into other planning mechanisms such as comprehensive plans or capital improvement plans, when appropriate. Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(ii): [The plan maintenance process shall include a] discussion on how the community will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Any and all amendments made to this plan should be shared with each participating jurisdiction, the Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency and the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division. At a minimum, this Plan will be evaluated for consistency with FEMA and IHSEMD requirements and formally updated every five (5) years. However, it is strongly encouraged the mitigation strategies for each community be reviewed and revised (if necessary) following disasters to determine if the recommended actions are still appropriate given the impacts of an event. Phasing & Funding Phasing is a process by which the completion of a project occurs over several budget cycles. It is recommended that this updated hazard mitigation plan be incorporated into the city's or county's annual Capital Improvements Program update procedure. For projects that require a local match commitment, the Council or Board of Supervisors should begin setting aside appropriate resources to meet their match liability. In addition, the projects defined herein may be prioritized for funding through the jurisdictions' budgeting process. Finally, the information presented in the Plan may be used as documentation for grant and/or loan programs, including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). As evident in the planning process, numerous mitigation actions were delayed, but carried over from previous plans, due to lack of funds to complete them in the past five years (see Appendix L). Therefore, each jurisdiction needs to identify, earmark, and seek funding opportunities for these actions in a timely manner. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 301 of 728 134 Evaluation & Review Process Ultimately, the Black Hawk County Emergency Management Coordinator and City Councils from all jurisdictions are responsible for the Hazard Mitigation Plan and implementation of the goals and actions contained herein, and they may seek assistance from other city or county staff, Councils of Governments, and consultants in order to accomplish mitigation projects. To assist in the review process, the Hazard Mitigation Committee (as mentioned in Section 1) may reconvene annually upon the request of the Black Hawk County Emergency Management Coordinator. As referenced in Section 1, said Committee will be comprised of representatives from each participating jurisdiction as well as from neighboring communities, schools, businesses, nonprofits, agencies, academia, and other interested parties and together they will be charged with reviewing and evaluating implementation progress of the mitigation plan. In addition, a public notice will be posted at all city and county government buildings, on jurisdictional websites, and in the local newspapers inviting the general public to participate as members of the Committee and/or to review the Plan and provide comments. Copies of the Plan and the Committee's review will be available online and at all government offices (city halls and courthouse). Following the Committee's completion of the annual review process, the findings of the review and recommended changes, if applicable, will be presented during a City Council and Board of Supervisors meeting, which is a public meeting to assist in the review, evaluation, and updating process. Evaluation forms can be found in Appendix N. Appendix L details the progress each jurisdiction has made since the adoption of their previous plans. Since many activities fall under the normal duties of most city governments (e.g. funding and maintaining emergency services), not many activities were deleted. INCORPORATION INTO OTHER PLANNING MECHANISMS Each of the jurisdictions with previous and current hazard mitigation plans has incorporated their plans into their comprehensive land use plans where applicable. These plans are old and pre -date the Hazard Mitigation Act of 2000. The land use plans state the jurisdiction will protect the general health, safety and welfare of the community, avoid development in the floodplain, and work with neighboring jurisdictions on planning issues of common interest. INRCOG develops transportation plans for the entire planning region and many jurisdictions include projects in the plan that will make the roadways safer and reduce accidents. The County Emergency Management Office works on disaster response and preparedness plans and regularly holds meetings with the jurisdictions. Also, each jurisdiction will consider the findings from this document when updating other planning documents in the future. At least the following should be integrated into existing and new planning mechanisms: current mitigation strategies, goals and, future mitigation actions. Examples of planning documents that would benefit from information provided in this Plan include, but are not limited to: Comprehensive Land -Use Plans and Urban Renewal Plans, existing and future Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances as well as Building Codes should consider the goals, guidelines, and actions presented in this Plan. Page 302 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 135 CONTINUED PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Black Hawk County is fortunate to have a proactive emergency management coordinator. Because of this, the cities typically do not initiate meetings with the public to discuss hazard mitigation issues; the Emergency Management Office conducts meetings, whereby the cities and public are invited to cover disaster response and recovery issues. The coordinator attends city council meetings in every jurisdiction to discuss and inform on these issues. The most common issues discussed include, tornado sirens, safe rooms, generators, storm spotter training and other training issues. The coordinator also ensures each jurisdiction regularly refers to their HMP; participate in any HMP development meetings; and to monitor the plan expiration dates. In addition, the coordinator sends each jurisdiction updates in the mail and email, regularly updates the county website. In order to ensure that the public remains involved in the future implementation of this Plan, it shall remain on hand at all participating city halls and the county courthouse. This Plan shall be made available to any party who requests to see it. If a jurisdiction intends to make or discuss amendments to the plan, a meeting with corresponding agenda shall be developed and posted; a newspaper notice shall be submitted and if necessary a legal notice will be published; and the Hazard Mitigation Committee members will be notified of the meeting via email, telephone, or regular mail. Also, the amendments shall also be made available prior to a City Council or Board of Supervisors action so that the public may be made aware. Consistent with the Iowa Open Meeting and Records Laws (Iowa Code Chapters 21 and 22), said meetings will be open to the public and all records shall be available for inspection. The coordinator will continue to work with each participating jurisdiction in ensuring the plan goals are followed and that these jurisdictions are properly prepared for any disaster that may come.

The elevation of the community is approximately 880 feet above sea level. The Cedar River runs through the community from northwest to southeast. In addition to being located on the Cedar River, the City of Cedar Falls is located on U.S. Highway 20 and Iowa Highways 57 and 58. The city is bordered to the east by the City of Waterloo and George Wyth Memorial State Park, to the south by the City of Hudson, and to the north and west by the unincorporated area of Black Hawk County. Natural Environment The major river present in the City of Cedar Falls is the Cedar River. It is joined by Beaver Creek and Shell Rock River to the north. The Cedar River flows generally from northwest to southeast within the Cedar Falls city limits. The city is located in the Middle Cedar Watershed. The watershed is but a segment of the larger Cedar River Watershed, which eventually acts as a tributary to the Iowa River. The climate, vegetation, and soils for the City of Cedar Falls are consistent with the rest of Black Hawk County. Due to its location in the central portion of North America, the climate is of continental character, i.e. hot, humid summers and cold winters. Average temperatures throughout the year vary widely from 14 degrees Fahrenheit in January to 73 degrees Fahrenheit in July. Extreme temperatures range from about -35 to 112 degrees Fahrenheit. The distribution of precipitation throughout the year is very favorable for agriculture, with an average of 72 percent of the annual total precipitation falling in the April to September crop season. Cedar Falls averages approximately 194 sunny days. Precipitation in the area averages around 33 inches of rain and 33 inches of snowfall annually. Vegetation in the area is typically comprised of grass, pasture, row crop, trees, and shrubs. Today, much of the original tree cover has been eliminated for purposes of development and row crop farming. Nevertheless, some timber has been retained in parks and waterways, on the University of Northern Iowa campus, and in residential districts — particularly the older neighborhoods along the Cedar River. The soils in the community are typically productive and able to support development. The primary soils classifications include Dinsdale, Klinger, Maxfield, Kenyon, Clyde, Floyd, Loamy Alluvial Land, Channeled, Saude, and Flagler soil series. It should be noted that much of Black Hawk County, including Cedar Falls, contains valuable agricultural soils that are capable of sustaining development. Page 305 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 138 Transportation The city has defined four classifications of streets based on their traffic purpose or function. In addition, the unclassified streets are to be considered "local" streets. The following list provides descriptions and examples for each classification in descending order of their capacities: • Freeway/Expressway — Includes U.S. Highways 218, 58, and 20. • Major Arterials — U.S. Highway 57 (1st Street), Hudson Rd, 18th Street, University Ave, Greenhill Rd, Ridgeway Ave • Minor Arterials — Center St, Lone Tree Rd, Lincoln St, 12th St, Waterloo Rd, Union Rd, 27th St, Main St, and Viking Rd • Collector Streets — Leversee Rd, 4th St, 8th St, State St, Washington St, Franklin St, Seerley Blvd, Grand Blvd, Orchard Dr, Rownd St, and Chancellor Drive In total the city has approximately 451 lane miles of streets throughout the community. The majority of this street system is hard surfaced. The City Public Works Department is charged with the maintenance of all city owned roadways, snow removal efforts, seal coating efforts, and maintenance of ditches adjacent to the roadways. According to the City's website, Cedar Falls has over 80 miles of recreational trails for non -motorized and non -equestrian activities such as biking, hiking, cross-country skiing, and skating. The City's trail system is connected to the wider metropolitan area trail network as well as the American Discovery Trail. The City of Cedar Falls does not have a city -owned airport. Nevertheless, due to its relative location to the Waterloo Regional Airport, air service is in very close proximity. In fact, the City of Cedar Falls northeastern boundary directly abuts the Waterloo Regional Airport property line. There are three railroad lines known to currently operate within Cedar Falls. Three different companies operate these lines: The Canadian National Railroad, Illinois Central Railroad, and Northern Railroad. According to information obtained from the Federal Railroad Administration, there are approximately 39 known railroad -crossing sites in the City of Cedar Falls. As of January 2005, there have been a total of 72 railroad related accidents/incidents in Black Hawk County; this includes 17 train accidents, 31 highway -rail incidents, and 24 other accidents/incidents. Community specific data were not available. The major water body in the City of Cedar Falls is the Cedar River. While there is some limited recreational boating that does regularly occur at several points along the Cedar River, the river is not conducive to any commercial or industrial traffic. Community Services The water utility in the City of Cedar Falls is provided and operated by Cedar Falls Utilities (CFU). The supply of water to the community is one of four services provided to the community by CFU, the other three being electric, gas, and communications services. According to the CFU website (ww.cfunet.net) the City of Cedar Falls attains its water from a large underground aquifer known as the Cedar Valley Aquifer. The quality of the water is reported to be very high; therefore, chlorine and fluoride are the only two treatments required before public use. Page 306 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 139 The City of Cedar Falls owns and operates a municipal water reclamation system. The vast majority of residential, commercial, and industrial developments are connected to this system. There are approximately 11,000 accounts that are billed for service. It is estimated that there are also in excess of 300 private septic tank systems located throughout the City of Cedar Falls. The Cedar Falls Water Reclamation Facility handles an average daily load of about 4.5 million gallons. The design capacity of the facility is intended to handle up to 7.68 million gallons per day in dry conditions and 8.8 million gallons per day during wet conditions. For short times, known as peaks, the facility is able to handle flows at a rate of 21.6 million gallons per day. There have been substantial improvements to the treatment facility over the last thirty years. In 1985 the city spent $5.5 million on two settling tanks, a five -million -gallon detention basin, a new operations building, and parking lot. Enhancements to some existing structures were added in the mid -nineties. In 1999, a third stage filter, referred to as a bio-tower, was added to the system to remove ammonia from the wastewater. That particular project was funded at a cost of nearly $2 million. Additional, less expensive enhancements were added in the decade following. Following the 2008 flood, $7.2 million in improvements were made to the 17th Street lift station in an effort to move water away from homes, businesses and other public areas during times of flooding. The Park Drive lift station was updated in 2014 to keep up with high water inflows in the Lookout Park area for a cost of $1.1 million. In 2013, an ultraviolet disinfection system, biosolids handling facility, and other improvements to enhance performance were added at a cost of approximately $19 million. This treatment facility is one of the most valuable pieces of critical infrastructure in the community. It is estimated that its replacement value would exceed $50 million. Utility Provider Electric Cedar Falls Utilities Gas Cedar Falls Utilities Water/Sewer Cedar Falls Utilities (water), City (sewer) Telephone/Internet Cedar Falls Utilities, Century Link, Mediacom Cable TV Cedar Falls Utilities, Mediacom Sanitation City After completing a needs assessment and response time study in 2015, the City constructed a new Public Safety building. The building is located at 4600 South Main Street and houses both fire and police service operations. The building features advanced safety technology and offers improved training space. The co - located police/fire services also enhance coordination and response times. Between 1998 and 2000, the city cooperated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the construction of a flood control levee under the Corps of Engineers Continuing Authorities Program. The levee is approximately one mile long and protects 63 acres of the city. Prior to the project, no structural flood protection existed between the river and the downtown business district or municipal water treatment plant. The City completed additional levee improvements in 2018, adding another two -feet to the existing levee. This action is further described in the Current Mitigation Actions section of this community profile.

However, each community analyzed their own vulnerability to those hazards applicable to their jurisdiction. Using the methodology outlined in Section 3 (Vulnerability Assessment), the City of Cedar Falls along with the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) and the Cedar Falls Community School District evaluated the risk associated with a specific hazard, defined by probability and frequency of occurrence, magnitude, severity, exposures, and consequences. The vulnerability assessment provides in-depth knowledge of the hazards and vulnerabilities that affect the community, including the school district and the university. This analysis provides an all -hazard approach when evaluating the hazards of that affect the city, and the associated risks and impacts each hazard presents. As mentioned previously in Section 3, the vulnerability assessment requires a five-year review with periodic updates, as needed. Potential future hazards and impacts may result from changing technology, new critical facilities, infrastructures, and development patterns, as well as demographic and socioeconomic changes that occur within or outside the area. Disaster frequency and its effects or severity are important as a basis for planning emergency response and mitigation. Natural hazards tend to reoccur on a predictable seasonal basis, whereas human -made or technological events tend to change over time with advancement in technology and methods of operation. Five criteria were used by the Committee to assure a systematic and comprehensive approach to hazard analysis for their individual jurisdictions including: Historical Occurrence, Probability, Magnitude/Severity, Warning Time, and Duration. Due to recent disasters and events that have impacted the planning area, Cedar Falls determined that even though the historical occurrences were low for certain hazards, the probability ranking for future occurrences should be higher. Table A3 identifies the analysis scores for the City of Cedar Falls, UNI, and the Cedar Falls Community School District. As seen in Table A3, the top three hazards for Cedar Falls are Severe Winter Storms, River Flooding and Thunderstorm/Lightning/Hail. The Animal/Plant/Crop disease hazard was scored at a higher risk as compared to prior years, due to the presence of the emerald ash borer (EAB). The EAB is considered a caused serious damage to most ash trees in the city. The City is removing all ash trees in public areas and has notified private property owners of hazardous trees that must be removed. In 2017, it was estimated that the cities of Cedar Falls and Waterloo had lost more than 3,500 trees due to the EAB, with another 4,100 targeted for removal. The tables below identify the scoring criteria utilized by the Committee to evaluate each hazard. Further descriptions are provided in Section 3.

Since the majority of the hazards have an undefined hazard area (i.e., affecting an entire community or larger area) the following vulnerability assessment will only address those hazards that affect a specified area — flooding (river and flash). However, due to the community's historical occurrences of tornados this hazard was added to the assessment. The following discussion only considers the assets in the community of Cedar Falls. Critical Facilities The UNI-Dome Cedar Falls High School Cedar Falls Recreation Center Holmes Junior High School Nazareth Lutheran Church Peet Junior High School St. John Lutheran Church Cedar Falls City Hall Source: Community Identifying the location of critical facilities is important in order to assess their vulnerability to hazards, since these facilities are important to the community's operations, quality of life, and economic sector. These include but are not limited to schools, hospitals, libraries, police and fire stations, water towers, sirens, and lift stations. Map 52 shows the locations of these critical facilities throughout Cedar Falls. Table A4 shows the locations identified as shelters in Cedar Falls. While these locations have been identified for use if deemed necessary, there may also be hazard events which require residents to shelter themselves "in place". Therefore, any location could potentially become a makeshift shelter for purposes of disaster response. In 2013, the Cedar Falls School District constructed a safe room at the Robinson -Dresser Sports Complex which has a capacity of 260 persons. The cost of the project was split between FEMA, the state Homeland Security Emergency Management Division, and the school district, with FEMA paying the largest portion. In addition to the school district, the Black Hawk County Conservation Board has constructed two safe rooms in the county: one at Hickory Hills Park in 2012, and the other at McFarlane Park in 2013. Homes In Hazardous Areas The City of Cedar Falls has approximately 4,783 acres of identified floodplain within its city limits. To date, the city has facilitated the purchase and removal of structures from approximately 344 properties at a cost of $21 million. Twelve commercial properties were included; the remaining properties were residences. Over 95% of the costs was covered by state and federal governments. The total number of insurable structures remaining in the floodplain is approximately 412. A summary of floodplain parcels located within the City appears on Table A5: Page 312of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 145 # of Parcels Total Land Value Total Building Value Total Dwelling Value Multi- Residential Land Total Value Percent of City Damaged City Floodway Property Values 792 $32,944,498 $92,433,792 $49,528,908 $1,575,822 $176,483,020 5.24% City 1% Annual Chance Floodplain Property Values 1224 $33,918,533 $35,428,840 $97,918,890 $849,187 $168,115,450 4.99% City 0.2% Annual Chance Floodplain Property Values 258 $7,254,250 $6,751,670 $18,787,660 $0 $32,793,580 0.97% Source: Flood overlay shows the 2011 floodplain designations in Black Hawk County, Iowa. The digital flood layer was obtained from FEMA's current Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map. The incorporated boundaries were current as of 5/5/19. In addition, persons living in mobile homes (also known as manufactured housing) may also be at risk from tornadoes or high winds. According to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, there are an estimated 614 mobile homes in Cedar Falls. Using the average persons per households of 2.37, there are approximately 1,455 persons living in mobile homes in Cedar Falls. Finally, persons living in some multi -family units may also be at risk due to the lack of a proper tornado shelter. According to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, there were an estimated 4143 housing units in buildings with at least three units. Therefore, there are approximately 9,819 persons living in multi -family housing units at risk during a tornado event. Vulnerability — Identifying Social Asset Populations The social vulnerability assessment also identified how the hazards affect the population of Cedar Falls, and it is assumed that the identified populations are more likely to require assistance during times of disaster and are therefore, generally speaking, more at -risk than the remaining population. The at -risk population must be identified and targeted in successful mitigation efforts. According to 2013-2017 ACS data, 13.1% of Cedar Falls residents, or approximately 5,401 persons, are 65 years or older. Persons under the age of 18 are also at higher risk during some disasters. This is mostly due to the fact that young people often are not aware of the proper actions to take in the event of a disaster. In addition, very young children would be more susceptible to a disaster such as a disease epidemic simply due to their age. 17.9% of Cedar Falls residents, or 7,384 persons, are under the age of 18 (2013-2017 ACS). As mentioned previously, persons living in mobile homes and persons living in multi -family housing units are also considered at risk. There are approximately 1,455 persons living in mobile homes and 9,819 persons living in multi -family housing units in Cedar Falls. This represents 128 fewer persons living in mobile homes, as compared to the prior HMP. Page 313of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 146 Map 29 and Map 30 illustrate the impact of a hypothetical tornado event in Cedar Falls. According to data from the Black Hawk County Assessor's Office, there are approximately 14,886 parcels in the community with a total value of $3,365,865,060.

Table A6 lists all of the structure valuations for the City of Cedar Falls. Since 100% of the city is at risk of some kind of hazard event, the entire city is considered to be in the hazard area. This data was used in the Vulnerability discussion in each of the Hazard Profiles in Section 3. This information was made available from the Black Hawk County Assessor's office.

Accordingly, the values listed above should not be regarded as accurate for any purpose. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 315 of 728 148 Future Development Future development within identified hazard areas can change the threat level of an area by placing critical facilities, businesses, transportation networks, utilities, and populations within vulnerable areas. While it can be difficult to curb development in the planning area, it is the jurisdiction's advantage to be aware of development trends in order to successfully mitigate future hazards as risks increase. However, continued conformity with the State Building Codes and local land use ordinances and regulations (zoning, subdivision, floodplain management, etc.) will help to mitigate the effects hazards have on new and future development. Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA defines a repetitive loss property as an insurable building that has experienced multiple losses in a 10-year period in which each loss is $1,000 or more. According to available FEMA data (as of 5/31/09), the City of Cedar Falls participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and has 62 repetitive loss properties. Table 45 in Section 3 lists data from each city regarding the National Flood Insurance Program.

The committee set as a priority the development of broad -based goals that would address a multitude of hazards and encompass a variety of mitigation activities. The updated hazard mitigation plan goals for the City of Cedar Falls are listed below. 1. PROTECT: Protect the health and safety of residents, visitors, staff and emergency personnel during and after hazard events. 2. PREVENT: Prevent avoidable disasters. 3. MINIMIZE: Minimize losses to existing and future structures in hazard areas, especially critical facilities. 4. MAINTAIN: Maintain local services and infrastructure in order to reduce community, economic and environmental disruption during and after hazard events. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 316 of 728 149 5. RESTORE: Return the community to either pre -disaster or improved conditions in a timely manner in the wake of a disaster. 6. EDUCATE: Educate the public about hazards and resources available. 7. ACCOUNTABILITY: Use public funds in an efficient, cost effective and fair manner. 8. COLLABORATE: Incorporate each jurisdiction into the Black Hawk County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Current Mitigation Actions Prevention Mitigation Actions The City of Cedar Falls has and enforces a Floodplain Ordinance. Staff of the Community Development Department for the City of Cedar Falls enforces the ordinance. In accordance with NFIP guidelines, the ordinance does not allow for new construction within the floodway without approval from the Department of Natural Resources and the Cedar Falls Board of Adjustment. In addition, it requires those structures within the floodway fringe to be adequately anchored, use construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage, and use construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage. The City's floodplain ordinance was strengthened in 2011 to impose restrictions on building and development in the 100-year and 500-year floodplains. This ordinance is one of the most restrictive in the State. Cedar Falls has a CRS of 5. The City of Cedar Falls also has a Comprehensive Land Use Plan, a Zoning Ordinance, a Subdivision Ordinance and Stormwater Ordinance. In addition, the City of Cedar Falls has adopted and enforces the following building codes: the International Building Code, the National Electrical Code, the Uniform Plumbing Code, the Uniform Mechanical Code, the Iowa Energy Code - Cedar Falls Utilities, ADA Standards, and the International Fire Code. Property Protection Mitigation Actions As a result of flooding from the Cedar River and its tributaries during the floods of 1993, 1999, 2008 and 2016, the city has cooperated with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Iowa Emergency Management Division, the Iowa Economic Development Agency, and local property owners in order to identify, purchase, and remove people and structures from identified flood hazard areas. To date, the city has facilitated the purchase and removal of structures from approximately 344 properties at a total cost of nearly $21 million. Twelve commercial properties were included; the remaining properties were residences. Over 95 percent of this cost was covered by the state and federal governments. Currently, the City of Cedar Falls is the only jurisdiction in the county participating in the Community Rating System (CRS). The CRS recognizes and encourages floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP standards. The City cooperated with the Army Corps of Engineers in the design, construction, and funding for an initial flood control levee that was completed in 1999. The levee protects the downtown business district, surrounding residential areas, and the City's wastewater treatment plant to the approximate level of a 250-year flood event. The levee was nearly overtopped during the 2008 flood. After the flood of 2008, increasing the flood protection level was a top City priority. From Page 317of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 150 late 2011 to 2014, the city worked closely with a design consultant and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to complete a design and obtain permits from the Corps. The final design to increase the levee protection was determined to have a "no rise" condition for properties upstream, downstream or across the river. Approval was issued on June 28, 2017 to increase the levee height to 104.9'. The levee project was completed in 2019. Local funding and funding through Iowa's Flood Mitigation Program supported the effort. In addition to these major projects, the city has historically made efforts to alleviate the risk of flooding by constructing new storm sewers, improving old or undersized storm sewers, constructing water detention basins, and requiring new large development in the community to mitigate storm water runoff with both quantity and quality controls. The Price Laboratory School, which was situated along the Dry Run Creek floodplain, was demolished in 2013. The University of Northern Iowa has not removed any of its structures for the purposes of flood hazard mitigation. Prior to the 2008 flood, the City had purchased 165 properties in the 100-year floodplain to be held in publicly owned greenspace. Those properties were purchased with a combination of Federal, State, and local funds. Following the 2008 flood, the City has removed 181 structures from the floodplain. These properties are now held as greenspace. In 2016, more buyouts occurred with an additional thirteen properties acquired. The City intends on continuing property acquisitions in the floodplain as property owners become interested and funding becomes available. In August 1984, a Flood Insurance Study conducted by FEMA pertaining to the flood hazards in the City of Cedar Falls became official. The resulting Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) became effective on February 1, 1985. In addition to the Flood Insurance Study, there have been a number of other documents published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers which studied the Cedar River and/or other tributaries in Black Hawk County which pose potential flood risks to the City of Cedar Falls. In addition to these completed studies, Black & Veatch Special Project Corporation, Kansas City Division and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District have completed studies in Black Hawk County for the purposes of updating existing Flood Hazard Boundary Maps and FIRMs throughout the county. Substantial changes resulted from the completion of the downtown levee project, the removal of numerous structures from the flood hazard area, and other lesser mitigation project. New floodplain maps were approved on July 18, 2011 and have been adopted by the city. Revised FIRMS will be available in late 2020. The University of Northern Iowa has been designated as a qualifying MS4, which requires the University to comply with Phase II storm water regulations. UNI has storm sewer facilities that serve the buildings and property of the University for storm water drainage and runoff management. The stormwater management team meets annually to discuss up-to-date projects, e.g. the construction of parking lots, and how they can be implemented with storm water as a consideration, e.g. permeable surfaces. UNI also has a designated facilities management department, led by the assistant vice president of facilities planning / campus architect. The facilities planning department is situated under the Administration and Financial Services department, which is situated under the President's Office. From FY 2019 to FY 2023, the Board of Regents of the State of Iowa is scheduled to allocate funds in its Five -Year State -Funded Capital Plan for Fire and Environmental Safety, Deferred Maintenance, Campus Security, and Regulatory Compliance each year. The amount programmed for this category is $100 million Page 318of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 151 over the five years. While these values represent the entire State university system, including University of Iowa and Iowa State University which are outside Black Hawk County, some of these funds will be allocated to UNI as well. The University of Northern Iowa has its own power plant which provides energy to the entire campus community. All of the power supplied by the power plant is transmitted by underground systems. This eliminates the hazard of property damage incurred by downed power lines during severe weather events. The University also cooperates with Cedar Falls Utilities, and can help supply the City's power grid as needed. UNI has a Red Cross shelter on campus. During the 2008 tornado event in the City of Parkersburg in neighboring Butler County, as well as the flood events that occurred throughout the county the same year, UNI became a central point for contact for FEMA and the Red Cross for assisting local residents affected by these disasters. Public Education and Awareness Mitigation Actions Residents of the City of Cedar Falls could previously opt to receive emergency notifications in the event of an impending hazard event. This service was available through CodeRED until July 2012, and then through Everbridge Alerts until May 2014. Alert Iowa now serves as the statewide mass notification and emergency messaging system and is operated by Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Radio, television, cellular telephones, landline telephones, newspapers, warning sirens, NOAA Radio Service and the internet are available to the public at large. The City has developed a website in order to keep its citizens, and other interested parties, aware of local and government affairs. The website address is www.cedarfalls.com. The University of Northern Iowa has several public education and awareness resources available on the UNI website. These include: maps of each building on campus showing fire evacuation routes and shelter locations (http://www.vpaf.uni.edu/ehso/evac-diagrams.shtml), shelter locations and instructions for responding to high wind and tornado events (http://www.vpaf.uni.edu/ehso/shelters.shtml), the UNI Hazard Communication Program which outlines procedures for handling hazardous materials (http://www.vpaf.uni.edu/ehso/documents/Hazard Communications.pdf), the Radiation Safety Manual with instructions for the use and handling of radioactive materials (http://www.vpaf.uni.edu/ehso/documents/Radiation Safety Manual.pdf), forms for departments to complete a Continuity of Operations Plan to describe how each department will operate during an influenza pandemic or other emergency (http://www.vpaf.uni.edu/pubsaf/documents/coop.doc), and the Community Response Checklist in the event of an active shooting, i.e. terrorism, event (http://www.vpaf.uni.edu/pubsaf/documents/ActiveShooterChecklist.pdf). All of these resources are available to faculty, staff, and students at UNI, and help provide the education and resources necessary to minimize and mitigate potential harm as a result of such hazards. In addition, on March 26, 2015, UNI along with FEMA held a Ready Campus event aimed to get students thinking about disasters before they happen and "create a culture of preparedness" early on in their lives. UNI is the first Iowa college campus to hold such an event. The Cedar Falls Community School District has a Safety Committee which researches options for best practices in emergency situations and has recommended adopting a plan that gives teachers and students options to increase survivability. The School District conducts regular drills to practice how to stay safe during a fire, tornado, evacuation, or other hazard event. Students participate in discussions and drills designed to practice options in a dangerous intruder, i.e. terrorism, Page 319of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 152 situation. A parent guide and a crisis response brochure are both available on the School District's website. School bus safety is also taught to students at the District level to help mitigate transportation incident hazard events such as a rollover. In addition, Iowa State law requires every student have a completed immunization record on file, and all records in the Cedar Falls School District are audited by the Black Hawk County Health Department to ensure that all school age children meet specific immunization requirements in order to mitigate the negative effects of a human disease hazard event. Emergency Services Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency The Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency is governed by a board of eleven commissioners comprised of the Mayors from each incorporated jurisdiction in the County or their designated delegate, a representative of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Chairperson of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors. The Emergency Management Agency works in conjunction with local fire, rescue, police, and government officials to draft and implement workable emergency action plans in the community. Furthermore, the agency is responsible for the monthly testing of all outdoor warning sirens in Black Hawk County. Public Safety Department Fire Operations: Cedar Falls Fire Operations provides fire and rescue services to 29.7 square miles inside the city limits. Additionally, Fire Operations provides protection services for approximately 36 square miles for the Union and Washington Townships. Fire protection services are also provided for the University of Northern Iowa, which as a student population of approximately 11,000 students. The total population served is over 42,000. The main department, is housed at the new Public Safety building, located at 4600 South Main Street. The station formerly serving as the main station, located at 18th and Main Street, will now serve as a substation. The following is a general list of available equipment: seven firefighting apparatus vehicles, one rescue unit, three rescue boats, two ice rescue sleds, John Deere gator. Fire Operations also provides various fire prevention and educational services to the community throughout the year, such as commercial and housing inspections, hazardous material awareness, facility preplanning, and many fire safety education programs. Fire Operations personnel are trained to function safely and effectively in many specialized areas including fire suppression and rescue, confined space rescue, emergency medical, hazardous material response, and disaster situations. The City of Cedar Falls holds a Class-3 ISO rating. Police Operations: Police protection is provided by the Cedar Falls Police Operations, the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Iowa State Patrol. Currently, there are a total of 52 Public Safety Officers, 7 Police Officers, 12 Reserve Police Officers and 8 Community Service Officers. The Police Operations has three main divisions which include patrol, investigations, and training/support services. The division is assigned the following functions: Page 320 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 153 • The protection of persons and property • The enforcement of all state and local laws • The prevention and deterrence of criminal activity • The timely and effective response to unusual occurrences • The maintenance of public order • The recovery and return of property • The detection of criminal activity • The education of the public • The apprehension of offenders • Providing other services to the citizens of the community that are deemed to be proper functions of the Police The approach of Police Operations is intended to be proactive rather than reactive, with police managers anticipating events through planning, using personnel and resources effectively, and delivering a range of police services to the community. Medical Services Cedar Falls is served primarily by Cedar Falls Medical Center, operated by Mercy One (formerly Sartori), which is located in Cedar Falls. The Medical Center is a a 100-bed, full -service hospital providing acute, subacute, and outpatient care to the people living in and near the community of Cedar Falls. Hospital services include 24-hour emergency room and ambulance transportation, intensive care, general medical care, surgery, ambulatory care, and skilled nursing. Support services include X-ray, mammography, ultrasound, laboratory, pharmacy, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, spiritual care, social services, and nutrition education. In addition to the standard hospital service, Mercy One also provides ambulance service to the community. The ambulance service provided is classified as a paramedic service. The hospital maintains two fully staffed ambulance crews. There are two other hospitals available in the larger metropolitan area, Unity Point Hospital and Mercy One Medical Center, are both located in Waterloo. In addition to the three major hospitals in the metropolitan area, there are numerous clinics in the area that provide a variety of medical specialties and general family practice. The Cedar Falls School District has on staff five nurses: one for the four preschools in the District, one for Southdale, Hansen, and Holmes Schools; one for Peet, Cedar Heights, and Orchard Hill Schools, one for North Cedar, Lincoln, and the Senior High School; and one registered nurse who serves as the program manager. In addition, each school has its own Health Assistant on staff. UNI Department of Public Safety The UNI Department of Public Safety has two divisions, Police and Parking Services. The department has 18 sworn police officers. Officers are on duty 24-hours a day seven days a week. These officers are supplemented by a Student Patrol comprised of students who assist in providing various non -law enforcement services to the campus community. The Department provides preventative education to students, faculty, and staff including ALICE training; works with the Governor's traffic safety bureau; has a bicycle patrol and foot patrol; assists with athletic events on campus; and works closely with other area law enforcement agencies. Page 321 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 154 Hazardous Materials A regional Hazard Materials Team is on hand to assist the community with a Hazard Materials event or catastrophe. The Team is located within a short distance and is operated by Waterloo Fire Rescue Department. The city is also a partner in the Tri-County Drug Task Force. The group works with the City in the event of the discovery of a methamphetamine lab within the community. In addition, the City of Cedar Falls has and enforces a mechanical code that requires mechanical inspectors to work with Cedar Falls Utilities for purposes of gas detection. Snow Removal Snow removal and ice prevention techniques are practiced by city and state employees on the corresponding local and state roadways within city limits. In addition to the clearing of over 400 lane miles of roads, sidewalks are required by ordinance to be cleared of snow and ice within a reasonable amount of time. The clearing of sidewalks is considered the responsibility of the property owner. The reasonable length of time is considered to be 24 hours after the ending of a snowfall. If this is not done, the Community Development Department may have the sidewalk(s) cleaned and the property owner or resident billed for this service. Warning Systems The City of Cedar Falls is reported to have 13 outdoor warning sirens strategically located throughout the community as of 2020. Eleven of the sirens within City limits are maintained by the Cedar Falls Public Works Department. All sirens are designed to function in the event of a power outage. The Cedar Falls Public Safety Department has the ability to communicate the need to activate the warning sirens via Central Dispatch and/or the Emergency Management Agency. UNI has its own alert system, UNI Alert, to notify the campus community of emergencies and threats to physical safety in emergency situations. Notification is by cellphone, landline phone, e-mail, and text message. The University also has an outdoor warning system and an indoor warning system in residence halls. The UNI Department of Public Safety works with University Relations to communicate with the campus community and outside entities regarding hazard events. Page 322 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 155 Future Mitigation Actions While the existing mitigation activities discussed above detail the comprehensive efforts to mitigate hazards when possible and to respond to hazards in a timely and efficient manner, the Committee also recognizes that there are many more mitigation activities and projects that would benefit community residents. Thus, the Committee developed a list of future hazard mitigation activities that, if accomplished, would serve to further reduce the risk of hazards to the community. The list may include a combination of projects the Committee S — Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do not adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A — Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P — Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L — Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E — Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E - Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. feels the community should try to accomplish and mitigation efforts that are ongoing that the Committee view as vital to the continued well-being of the public. The Committee analyzed the potential mitigation activities. This analysis included a discussion of the potential benefits of implementing the activity, some hurdles that the community may face in implementing the action step, and the drawbacks of implementation. The analysis utilized the STAPLEE feasibility criteria. The STAPLEE technique is a FEMA suggested method of evaluation. The STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental. The Committee was asked to discuss the STAPLEE elements (Table A7) and determine each element's ranking (High -H, Medium -M, Low-L) for each identified future mitigation activity. Afterwards, the average priority for each mitigation activity was recorded as the overall priority ranking for that particular future mitigation activity. Timeline The Committee identified the time period each of the proposed mitigation activity will occur. For instance, if the activity happens regularly (either daily, weekly, monthly, or annually) it was identified as On -Going activity; if it will occur within the next 1-5 years it was identified as Short -Term; if the activity would take 5-10 years to occur it was labeled as Mid -Term; and all activities that would take 10 or more years to occur were identified as Long -Term. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 323 of 728 156 Funding Although in the long-term hazard mitigation actions will save money by avoiding the loss of lives or property damages, in the short-term each action will have an associated cost. The city will rely heavily on local funding sources to fulfill most of the plan obligations; however, they will also seek funds from State and Federal agencies for both pre- and post -disaster mitigation activities. The estimated cost(s) for each mitigation action, program, or project is either: Minimal, Low, Moderate, or High depending upon various factors. • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate : Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High : Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. Implementation Strategy Once the Committee identified and ranked the future hazard mitigation activities, the activities were then analyzed. In addition, the Committee identified a time line for each activity, identified the responsible party or parties for each activity, and finally related each activity to at least one of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals listed above. Table A8 below is the City of Cedar Falls' Implementation Strategy.

The elevation of the community is approximately 950 feet above sea level. Crane Creek flows from west to east across the northernmost portion of the city. The City of Dunkerton is centered at the intersection of Iowa State Highway 281/County Road 54 and County Road C66/Dunkerton Road. The city is surrounded on all sides by the unincorporated area of Black Hawk County. To the west, north, and east, the city is surrounded by Lester Township; to the south, the city shares a border with Barclay Township. Natural Environment The city is bordered on all sides by farmland. The land within the city slopes slightly from south to north, with the land sloping down toward the creek bed. There are two waterways located within the City of Dunkerton. The Crane Creek flows from west to east, and serves as part of the northern city limits. The entire incorporated area of Dunkerton lies in the Crane Creek drainage basin. In addition, a small -unnamed tributary, which flows in a northerly direction to Crane Creek, is located in the southeastern portion of the Dunkerton corporate area. As a result of the waterways located in the Dunkerton, the City has an identified 100-year floodplain and has used information regarding the floodplain when making development decisions. The climate of Dunkerton is of the continental type, which is marked by a great variation in both temperature and precipitation. Temperatures average 70.22 F during the summer months and approximately 19.42 F during the winter months. The average annual rainfall for the City of Dunkerton is 32.9 inches. Average snowfall for the community is approximately 35.5 inches annually. The soils in the community are typically productive and able to support development. The primary soils classifications include Colo-Zook-Nodaway Association soils in the floodplain and Kenyon-Floyd-Readlyn-Clyde Association soils in the areas of the city that lie outside the floodplain. It should be noted that much of Black Hawk County, including Dunkerton, contains valuable agricultural soils that are capable of sustaining development. Further, if the city is to experience development, it is anticipated that some of these valuable soils will be lost. The original land cover vegetation of the Dunkerton area was deciduous timber. This land cover is considered the primary motivation for the original settlement of the area. The first settlers were said to have arrived for the abundance of natural resources in the area. Today, much of the original tree cover has been eliminated for row crop farming and the construction of homes and businesses. Much of the remaining tree cover can be found in the low-lying areas of the Page 336 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 169 community along the river and the channel overflow. Tree cover can also be found throughout the community in residential areas, parks, and cemeteries. These remaining trees contribute to the aesthetics of the community and are viewed as an asset. Transportation One major highway passes through the City of Dunkerton, Iowa Highway 281. This transportation route passes through the center of the city in a north/south route. This road connects the city with Interstate 380, just 8 miles south of Dunkerton. In addition, County Road C66 also passes through the city on an east/west route. County Road C66 connects Dunkerton to U.S. Highway 63, 8 miles to the west. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, an average of 2,040 cars and trucks travel on Highway 281 into the city each day. An additional 1,020 cars and trucks travel on County Road C66. Finally, an average of 3,650 vehicles travels on city streets each day. Dunkerton is served by the Union Pacific Railroad Company. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, the Union Pacific Railroad is a Class I railroad that operates 1,891 miles of track within Iowa. Products carried in Union Pacific rail cars include chemicals, coal, food and food products, forest products, grain and grain products, intermodal, metals and minerals, automobiles, and automobile parts. The third major transportation route is the airspace above the city. The closest major airport is the Waterloo Municipal Airport, located 15 miles west of Dunkerton. There are no major commercial watercraft routes in Dunkerton. Crane Creek does offer a location for recreational watercraft use by the public. Community Services Water service in the City of Dunkerton is provided by two wells and serviced through one water tower which has the capacity of 125,000 gallons, and was installed in 2010. The average daily water usage was 44,000 and maximum usage was 85,000 gallons (as recorded during the month of April 2019). The water and sewer system is mapped and regularly updated. A water filtration project is scheduled to start in 2020.

However, each community analyzed their own vulnerability to those hazards applicable to their jurisdiction. Using the methodology outlined in Section 3 (Vulnerability Assessment), the City of Dunkerton's evaluated the risk associated with a specific hazard, defined by probability and frequency of occurrence, magnitude, severity, exposures, and consequences. Dunkerton's vulnerability assessment provides in-depth knowledge of the hazards and vulnerabilities that affect the community. This analysis provides an all -hazard approach when evaluating the hazards of that affect the city, and the associated risks and impacts each hazard presents. As mentioned previously in Section 3, the vulnerability assessment requires a five-year review with periodic updates, as needed. Potential future hazards and impacts may result from changing technology, new critical facilities, infrastructures, and development patterns, as well as demographic and socioeconomic changes that occur within or outside the area. Disaster frequency and its effects or severity are important as a basis for planning emergency response and mitigation. Natural hazards tend to reoccur on a predictable seasonal basis, whereas manmade or technological events tend to change over time with advancement in technology and methods of operation. Five criteria were used by the Committee to assure a systematic and comprehensive approach to hazard analysis for their individual jurisdictions included: Historical Occurrence, Probability, Magnitude/Severity, Warning Time, and Duration. Due to recent disasters and events that have impacted the planning area, Dunkerton determined that even though the historical occurrences were low for certain hazards, the probability ranking for future occurrences should be higher. Table B3 is the analysis scores for the City of Dunkerton. As seen in Table B3, the top three hazards for Dunkerton are Tornado/Windstorm, River Flooding and Drought. The tables below identify the scoring criteria utilized by the Committee to evaluate each hazard. Further descriptions are provided in Section 3. Page 339 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 172 PRO:±; ■ - Score Description 1 Unlikely Less than 10% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 10 chance of occurring), history of events is less than 10% likely or the event is unlikely but there is a possibility of its occurrence. 2 Occasional Between 10% and 20% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 5 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 10% but less than 20% or the event could possibly occur. 3 Likely Between 20% and 33% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 3 chance of occurring), history of events if greater than 20% but less than 33% or the event is likely to occur. 4 Highly Likely More than 33% probability in any given year (event has up to a 1 in 1 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 33% likely or the event is highly likely to occur. Rating Description 1 Negligible Less than 10% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for less than 24 hours, and/or injuries/illnesses treatable with first aid 2 Limited 10% to 25% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and service for more than a week, and/or injuries/illnesses that do not result in permanent disability. 3 Critical 25% to 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for at least two weeks, and/or injuries/illnesses that result in permanent disability. 4 Catastrophic More than 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for more than 30 days, and/or multiple deaths.

Since the majority of the hazards have an undefined hazard area (i.e., affecting an entire community or larger area) the following vulnerability assessment will only address those hazards that affect a specified area — flooding (river and flash). However, due to the community's historical occurrences of tornados this hazard was added to the assessment. The following discussion only considers the assets in the community of Dunkerton. Critical Facilities TABLE B4: SHELTERS IN DUNKERTON United Methodist Church Fire Station Dunkerton Community School Dunkerton Public Library Dunkerton Community Hall First Baptist Church Gospel Hall Source: Community Identifying the location of critical facilities is important in order to assess their vulnerability to hazards, since these facilities are important to the community's operations, quality of life, and economic sector. These include but are not limited to schools, hospitals, libraries, police and fire stations, water towers, sirens, and lift stations. Map 53 shows the locations of these critical facilities throughout Dunkerton. Table B4 shows the locations identified as shelters in Dunkerton. While these locations have been identified for use if deemed necessary, there may also be hazard events which require residents to shelter themselves "in place". Therefore, any location could potentially become a makeshift shelter for purposes of disaster response. Homes In Hazardous Areas The majority of the City of Dunkerton north of Dunkerton Road is in the 100-year floodplain (approximately 202 acres and 14 city blocks). This accounts for roughly half of the city's total population. Table 65 identifies the value of floodplain parcels within the City.

However, according to the 2017 American Community Survey, there are no mobile homes in Dunkerton. Finally, persons living in some multi -family units may also be at risk due to the lack of a proper tornado shelter. According to the 2017 American Community Survey, there were an estimated 47 housing units in buildings with at least three units. Using the average persons per household value of 2.61 from the 2010 U.S. Census, there are approximately 123 persons living in multi -family housing units at risk during a tornado event. Table B6 identifies damage scenarios in the event of tornados at intensities from EFO to EF5. Page 343 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 176 Vulnerability — Identifying Social Asset Populations The social vulnerability assessment also identified how the hazards affect the population of Dunkerton, and it is assumed that the identified populations are more likely to require assistance during times of disaster and are therefore, generally speaking, more at -risk than the remaining population. The at -risk population must be identified and targeted in successful mitigation efforts. According to 2017 ACS data, approximately 111 residents in Dunkerton area 65 years of age or older. Persons under the age of 18 are also at higher risk during some disasters. This is mostly due to the fact that young people often are not aware of the proper actions to take in the event of a disaster. In addition, very young children would be more susceptible to a disaster such as a disease epidemic simply due to their age. In 2017, approximately 263 residents in Dunkerton were under the age of 18. As mentioned previously, persons living in mobile homes and persons living in multi -family housing units are also considered at risk. There are no persons living in mobile homes and 123 persons living in multi -family housing units in Dunkerton. Map 31 and Map 32 illustrate the impact of a hypothetical tornado event in Dunkerton. According to data from the Black Hawk County Assessor's Office, there are a total of 507 parcels in the community with a total value of $55,708,140.

Table B6 lists all of the structure valuations for the City of Dunkerton. Since 100% of the city is at risk of some kind of hazard event, the entire city is considered to be in the hazard area. This data was used in the Vulnerability discussion in each of the Hazard Profiles in Section 3. This information was made available from the Black Hawk County Assessor's office. It should be noted however that these dollar amounts do not include gas and electric utility valuations. These results should be considered preliminary, as a full accounting of assets has not been completed.

Accordingly, the values listed above should not be regarded as accurate for any purpose. Future Development Future development within identified hazard areas can change the threat level of an area by placing critical facilities, businesses, transportation networks, utilities, and populations within vulnerable areas. While it can be difficult to curb development in the planning area, it is the jurisdiction's advantage to be aware of development trends in order to successfully mitigation future hazards as risks increase. However, continued conformity with the State Building Codes and local land use ordinances and regulations (zoning, subdivision, floodplain management, etc.) will help to mitigate the effects hazards have on new and future development. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 345 of 728 178 Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA defines a repetitive loss property as an insurable building that has experienced no losses in a 10-year period in which each loss is $1,000 or more. According to available FEMA data (as of 5/31/09), the City of Dunkerton participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and has six repetitive loss properties. Table 45 in Section 3 lists data from each city regarding the National Flood Insurance Program.

The committee set as a priority the development of broad -based goals that would address a multitude of hazards and encompass a variety of mitigation activities. The updated hazard mitigation plan goals for the City of Dunkerton are: 1. PROTECT: Protect the health and safety of residents, visitors, staff and emergency personnel during and after hazard events. 2. PREVENT: Prevent avoidable disasters. 3. MINIMIZE: Minimize losses to existing and future structures in hazard areas, especially critical facilities. 4. MAINTAIN: Maintain local services and infrastructure in order to reduce community, economic and environmental disruption during and after hazard events. 5. RESTORE: Return the community to either pre -disaster or improved conditions in a timely manner in the wake of a disaster. 6. EDUCATE: Educate the public about hazards and resources available. 7. ACCOUNTABILITY: Use public funds in an efficient, cost effective and fair manner. 8. COLLABORATE: Incorporate each jurisdiction into the Black Hawk County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Page 346 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 179 Current Mitigation Actions Prevention Mitigation Actions The City has adopted a Floodplain Ordinance, which is a portion of the City's Code of Ordinances, and was last updated in 2012. The City's Building Code Enforcement Officer is in charge of enforcing the floodplain ordinance in addition to other duties. In accordance with NFIP guidelines, the ordinance does not allow for new construction within the floodway. In addition, it requires those structures within the floodway fringe to: (a.) "be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure"; (b.) "use construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage" and; (c) "use construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage." The Federal Insurance Administration manages the insurance component of the NFIP, and works closely with FEMA's Mitigation Directorate, which oversees the floodplain management aspect of the program. Residents of Dunkerton are eligible for the insurance benefits provided by this program. The City has a variety of planning and zoning ordinances that support the floodplain ordinance, including a Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and Building Ordinance. The City is also active in Creek Right -of -Way Clearance and Management activities. The City of Dunkerton has adopted the 2018 Uniform Building Code. The City has a Building Inspector with Bremer County Building and Zoning. Many studies have been conducted over the years in attempts to define the flood problem in Dunkerton and to arrive at strategies to alleviate the problem. The studies conducted include the following: • Army Corps of Engineers - Study dates: January 1991 & February 1992 • Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) — N/A • U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) — Map As noted above, Dunkerton was included in the 1991 Corps of Engineers study of the Wapsipinicon River and Tributaries, Black Hawk County and vicinity. The study looked at Crane Creek and its watershed and floodplain areas. The report describes a levee system and provided a 1991 cost estimate. The City decided not to proceed with the project due to the local share cost estimate that was presented. Since that date, the community has been looking for supplemental funding to provide local share. In addition, a Flood Insurance Study conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Flood Insurance Study was a preliminary requirement necessary for initial participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. The scope of the study was the entire incorporated area of the City of Dunkerton, Black Hawk County, IA. The study identified through the use of hydrologic analyses the peak discharge -frequency relationships for each of the 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year flood event. The City joined the National Flood Insurance Program February 21, 1979. The current floodplain map was effective July 18, 2011. Page 347 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 180 Property Protection Mitigation Actions In response to the damage caused by the 1999 flood, the City of Dunkerton received funding from FEMA and IEMD to acquire residential and commercial properties located in the floodplain. A total of twenty-four residences, one commercial property, and two public properties have been purchased and demolished as of December 2003. Through this process the City will retain ownership of the vacant lots remaining after the demolition of the properties. Restrictions have been placed on the deeds to these lots that will serve to restrict future development. As of 2010, a total of eighty-eight structures remain in the floodplain. City properties that remain in the floodplain include the City Maintenance Garage. It is a goal of the City to build new facilities in the future, as funding becomes available. At the time of the 1999 flood, City Hall was located in the floodplain and received substantial damage, including the destruction of many city documents. After the flood the City constructed a temporary City Hall on South Canfield Road, out of the floodplain. In May 2000 this temporary structure was damaged by a tornado that went through the community. Construction was recently completed in 2003 for a new city hall located on Tower Street. A new public library was completed in October 2010. The City has discussed the possibility of elevating structures currently in the floodplain. The current floodplain ordinance places restrictions on the type of construction that can occur on an existing structure located in the floodplain. Building permits are required before construction or re -construction of any housing unit in the floodplain. Homes must be built above a determined elevation. Existing homes must be rehabilitated to provide adequate flood proofing where possible. While the City would prefer to have all structures removed from the floodplain, it also realizes that some residents prefer the location of their homes near the waterway. For some home and business owners, elevation is the only available solution to the problem of damage from floodwaters. There is also one levee located in the community. This levee is site specific and was built to protect the lift station, which is located in the floodplain, from floodwaters. The City has explored the possibility of constructing a flood levee and gates to reduce the amount of floodwater entering the residential and commercial areas of the city. This remains a goal that the City will continue to explore as funding becomes available. In an effort to affect the flow of floodwaters, berms and ditches were constructed to divert water flowing directly through certain southerly areas of the community and to protect the Senior Center residential facility. The diverted water still passes through the community but by a different route. There are currently no detention or retention reservoirs within Dunkerton nor are there any other flood control alternatives currently in place. The City does have goals for future projects that will result in flood control activities. The City is planning to pursue projects related to watershed draining improvements in the southwest corner of the city. Public Education and Awareness Mitigation Actions A new statewide reverse 911 system known as Alert Iowa was implemented by implemented by Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management in 2014. Citizens have the ability to "opt in" to receive weather alerts and enter a cell phone, work phone, and other additional alternative phone numbers. The City has Page 348 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 181 developed a website and also uses social media to keep its citizens, and other interested parties, aware of local and government affairs. The website address is www.cityofdunkerton.org. The Public Works employee is contacted via cell phone when on the job or as needed in the case of an emergency. The City operates a number of vehicles and equipment including dump trucks and pick-up trucks. As part of the emergency plan, the City has a list of companies with additional equipment that may be needed in the case of an emergency or hazard situation. Emergency Services Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency The Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency is governed by a board of eleven commissioners comprised of the Mayors from each incorporated jurisdiction in the County or their designated delegate, a representative of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Chairperson of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors. The Emergency Management Agency works in conjunction with local fire, rescue, police, and government officials to draft and implement workable emergency action plans in the community. Furthermore, the agency is responsible for the monthly testing of all outdoor warning sirens in Black Hawk County. Fire Department The Dunkerton Fire Department is a volunteer department that provides fire and rescue services for the City of Dunkerton, in addition to Barclay, Bennington, Lester and Poyner Townships. As of 2019, the Dunkerton Volunteer Fire Department consists of 27 volunteers. In 2010, a tornado safe room was added to the fire station. Equipment owned and operated by the local fire department includes: • 2006 Brush/Rescue vehicle with 250 gallon capacity and a pony • 14 extra bottles as back-up tanks pump • One Cascade system with a compressor • 2000 Tanker truck with 1,500 gallon capacity • 2008 Ranger 12 ft.

As of 2020, the service consists of 12 volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians and serves a response area covering 90 square miles. The Ambulance Service has major equipment consisting of an ambulance, defibrillator, and an inverter. The Ambulance Service replaced the ambulance in 2019. The Dunkerton Ambulance Service also has mutual aid agreements in place with the following cities: Waterloo, Jesup, Fairbank, and Denver. Dunkerton is served primarily by the two hospitals located in the larger metropolitan area, Unity Point Hospital and Mercy One Medical Center, located in Waterloo. In addition to these major hospitals in the metropolitan area, there are numerous clinics in the area that provide a variety of medical specialties and general family practice. There are two other hospitals available in a 27-mile radius of the City of Dunkerton. Of these hospitals, one is in Cedar Falls and one is in Waverly. Police Police protection is provided by the Dunkerton Police Department, Black Hawk County Law Enforcement, and the Iowa State Patrol. The Police Department currently employs one full-time and two part-time patrolmen. As of 2010, the Dunkerton Police Department has major equipment consisting of one 2016 Dodge Charger, one MPH Series II Python Radar, one Remington 870 12-gauge, one GIETAC s400 Laptop, one Digital Ally DVM 750 Camera system. Hazardous Materials A regional Hazard Materials Team is on hand to assist the community with a Hazard Materials event or catastrophe. The Team is located within a short distance and is operated by Waterloo Fire Rescue Department. The city is also a partner in the Tri-County Drug Task Force. The group works with the City in the event of the discovery of a methamphetamine lab within the community. Snow Removal The City of Dunkerton Public Works Department is responsible for clearing the City's roads after a winter storm event. According to City staff in 2020, there are two full-time and three part-time staff in charge of snow removal. The City maintains one dump truck with a plow, two pickup trucks with a plow, and one tractor with a 14-foot snow pusher in front. Warning Systems The City of Dunkerton is reported to have two outdoor warning sirens as of 2020. The outdoor warning system is maintained by Black Hawk County which contracts the work to a private company. The company checks the sirens at least once a year. Page 350 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 183 Future Mitigation Actions While the existing mitigation activities discussed above detail the comprehensive efforts to mitigate hazards when possible and to respond to hazards in a timely and efficient manner, the Committee also recognizes that there are many more mitigation activities and projects that would benefit community residents. Thus, the Committee developed a list of future hazard mitigation activities that, if accomplished, would serve to further reduce the risk of hazards to the community. The list may include a combination of projects the Committee feels the community should try to accomplish and mitigation efforts that are ongoing that the Committee view as vital to the continued well-being of the public. S — Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do not adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A— Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P — Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L — Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E — Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E - Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. The Committee analyzed the potential mitigation activities. This analysis included a discussion of the potential benefits of implementing the activity, some hurdles that the community may face in implementing the action step, and the drawbacks of implementation. The analysis utilized the STAPLEE feasibility criteria. The STAPLEE technique is a FEMA suggested method of evaluation. The STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental. The Committee was asked to discuss the STAPLEE elements (Table B8) and determine each element's ranking (High -H, Medium -M, Low-L) for each identified future mitigation activity. Afterwards, the average priority for each mitigation activity was recorded as the overall priority ranking for that particular future mitigation activity. Timeline The Committee identified the time period each of the proposed mitigation activity will occur. For instance, if the activity happens regularly (either daily, weekly, monthly, or annually) it was identified as On -Going activity; if it will occur within the next 1-5 years it was identified as Short -Term; if the activity would take 5-10 years to occur it was labeled as Mid -Term; and all activities that would take 10 or more years to occur were identified as Long -Term. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 351 of 728 184 Funding Although in the long-term hazard mitigation actions will save money by avoiding the loss of lives or property damages, in the short-term each action will have an associated cost. The city will rely heavily on local funding sources to fulfill most of the plan obligations; however, they will also seek funds from State and Federal agencies for both pre- and post -disaster mitigation activities. The estimated cost(s) for each mitigation action, program, or project is either: Minimal, Low, Moderate, or High depending upon various factors. • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate : Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High : Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. Implementation Strategy Once the Committee identified and ranked the future hazard mitigation activities, the activities were then analyzed. In addition, the Committee identified a time line for each activity, identified the responsible party or parties for each activity, and finally related each activity to at least one of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals listed above. Table B8 below is the City of Dunkerton's Implementation Strategy.

The elevation of the community is approximately 850 feet above sea level. The main roads within the city are all local: Dubuque Road, Gilbertville Road, Lafayette Road, and Plaza Drive. Interstate 380/US Highway 20 runs east -west just south of the city; Exit 68 in Evansdale is the closest access point to Elk Run Heights. The city is bordered to the west and south by Evansdale, to the southeast by the Black Hawk County unincorporated area, to the east by Raymond, and to the north by the Black Hawk County unincorporated area. Natural Environment Elk Run Creek is the only body of water present in Elk Run Heights. The creek meanders in a northeast -southwest direction, cutting through the northwest corner of the city. As shown in Map 10, there is very little development in the Elk Run Creek floodplain. However, due to its close proximity to the Cedar River southwest of the city, approximately two city blocks are in the river's 500-year floodplain. The climate of Elk Run Heights is of the continental type, which is characterized by a great variation in both temperature and precipitation. Average temperatures range from 73.42 F in July to 15.92 F in January. The average amount of monthly precipitation also varies greatly, with most falling between April and September. Average annual precipitation for the city is 32.9 inches. According to the Black Hawk County Soil Survey conducted in 1977 by the United State Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service, the majority of soils in Elk Run Heights are of the Finchford Series. The Finchford Series "consists of nearly level to moderately sloping, excessively drained soils on high alluvial terraces and adjacent escarpments. These soils have very low available water capacity and very rapid permeability". Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent. Due to their location in and near the Elk Run Creek floodplain, some of the soils in Elk Run Heights may be subject to flooding. Transportation The major transportation route affecting the City of Elk Run Heights is U.S. Interstate 380/US Highway 20. This route actually lies just to the south of Elk Run Heights, and is the primary exit/entry location for travel in and out of the community. Other significant routes include Gilbertville Road, Dubuque Road, Plaza Drive, South Elk Run Road (County V43), and Lafayette Road (County D22). Car and truck traffic in the city are highest on Interstate 380/US Highway 20. Page 362 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 195 According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, an average of 24,300 cars and trucks travel on that stretch of highway south of Elk Run Heights each day. An additional 4,250 vehicles travel each day on County Highway V43 north of Elk Run Heights, while 2,890 vehicles per day travel D22 east of Elk Run Heights. These amounts do not include the number of cars using city streets each day. In addition to the roadways that serve the City of Elk Run Heights, there is also a rail line that runs through the community. This line is owned and operated by the Chicago Central and Pacific Railroad Company; and it runs along the north side of Dubuque Road. The nearest airport is the Waterloo Municipal Airport. The City of Elk Run Heights is connected to an extensive trail system that serves pedestrian and bicycle users. The Cedar Valley Nature Trail, which runs west of town along Elk Run Creek, connects Elk Run Heights to the Cedar Falls and Waterloo metro trail systems. In addition, the Cedar Valley Nature Trail runs south to the City of Cedar Rapids. There are no major commercial watercraft routes in Elk Run Heights. The Cedar River does offer a location for recreational watercraft use by the public. Community Services The City of Elk Run Heights owns and operates, including billing and repair, all of the water lines in the community. The city's water is purchased from Waterloo Waterworks and enters the city by way of a water main; therefore, Elk Run Heights does not have nor maintain a water tower. Waterloo Works is municipally owned and maintains an elevated storage capacity of approximately 3,000,000 gallons. The capacity of the water supply system is 50 MGD, while the average consumption is 12.2 MGD. The current Wastewater Treatment Facility consists of an activated sludge system. The facility is located in the extreme northwest corner of the city. The wastewater is transported to the facility with the assistance of three wastewater lift stations. The primary wastewater lift station is located near the northern extent of Sutton Avenue, south of the railroad tracks and Dubuque Road. The second wastewater lift station is located near the intersection of James Street and Gilbert Drive. The third and final lift station is situated near the intersection of Gilbertville Road and Plaza Drive. Table C1 lists the primary utility providers in Elk Run Heights.

However, each community analyzed their own vulnerability to those hazards applicable to their jurisdiction. Using the methodology outlined in Section 3 (Vulnerability Assessment), the City of Elk Run Heights's evaluated the risk associated with a specific hazard, defined by probability and frequency of occurrence, magnitude, severity, exposures, and consequences. Elk Run Heights's vulnerability assessment provides in-depth knowledge of the hazards and vulnerabilities that affect the community. This analysis provides an all -hazard approach when evaluating the hazards of that affect the city, and the associated risks and impacts each hazard presents. As mentioned previously in Section 3, the vulnerability assessment requires a five-year review with periodic updates, as needed. Potential future hazards and impacts may result from changing technology, new critical facilities, infrastructures, and development patterns, as well as demographic and socioeconomic changes that occur within or outside the area. Disaster frequency and its effects or severity are important as a basis for planning emergency response and mitigation. Natural hazards tend to reoccur on a predictable seasonal basis, whereas manmade or technological events tend to change over time with advancement in technology and methods of operation. Five criteria were used by the Committee to assure a systematic and comprehensive approach to hazard analysis for their individual jurisdictions included: Historical Occurrence, Probability, Magnitude/Severity, Warning Time, and Duration. Due to recent disasters and events that have impacted the planning area, Elk Run Heights determined that even though the historical occurrences were low for certain hazards, the probability ranking for future occurrences should be higher. Table C3 is the analysis scores for the City of Elk Run Heights. As seen in Table C3, the top three hazards are River Flooding, Flash Floods, and Tornado/Windstorms. The tables below identify the scoring criteria utilized by the Committee to evaluate each hazard. Further descriptions are provided in Section 3. Page 365 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 198 PRO:±: Y ■ - Score Description 1 Unlikely Less than 10% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 10 chance of occurring), history of events is less than 10% likely or the event is unlikely but there is a possibility of its occurrence. 2 Occasional Between 10% and 20% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 5 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 10% but less than 20% or the event could possibly occur. 3 Likely Between 20% and 33% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 3 chance of occurring), history of events if greater than 20% but less than 33% or the event is likely to occur. 4 Highly Likely More than 33% probability in any given year (event has up to a 1 in 1 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 33% likely or the event is highly likely to occur. Rating Description 1 Negligible Less than 10% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for less than 24 hours, and/or injuries/illnesses treatable with first aid 2 Limited 10% to 25% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and service for more than a week, and/or injuries/illnesses that do not result in permanent disability. 3 Critical 25% to 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for at least two weeks, and/or injuries/illnesses that result in permanent disability. 4 Catastrophic More than 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for more than 30 days, and/or multiple deaths.

Since the majority of the hazards have an undefined hazard area (i.e., affecting an entire community or larger area) the following vulnerability assessment will only address those hazards that affect a specified area — flooding (river and flash). However, due to the community's historical occurrences of tornados this hazard was added to the assessment. The following discussion only considers the assets in the community of Elk Run Heights. Critical Facilities TABLE C4: SHELTERS IN ELK RUN HEIGHTS J. Elk Run Heights Elementary School (316 McCoy Road) Faith Assembly Church (5112 Lafayette Road) City Hall (5042 Lafayette Road) Source: Community Identifying the location of critical facilities is important in order to assess their vulnerability to hazards, since these facilities are important to the community's operations, quality of life, and economic sector. These include but are not limited to schools, hospitals, libraries, police and fire stations, water towers, sirens, and lift stations. Map 54 shows the locations of these critical facilities throughout Elk Run Heights. Table C4 shows the locations identified as shelters in Elk Run Heights. While these locations have been identified for use if deemed necessary, there may also be hazard events which require residents to shelter themselves "in place". Therefore, any location could potentially become a makeshift shelter for purposes of disaster response. Homes In Hazardous Areas Map 10 and Map 11 shows the areas in Elk Run Heights within the 100-year and 500-year floodplains. According to data made available by the Black Hawk County Assessor's office, there are only 10 parcels of land with a total value of $1,283,080 in the 100-year floodplain, and 8 parcels with a total value of $306,960 in the 500-year floodplain. = ErbTFLOODPLAIN PARCELS WITHIN ELK RUN I -EIGHTS # of Parcels Total Land Value Total Building Value Total Dwelling Value Multi- Residential Land Total Value Percent of City Damaged City Floodway Property Values 10 $355,970 $34,750 $892,360 $0 $1,283,080 4.00% City 1% Annual Chance Floodplain Property Values 8 $145,760 $20,580 $140,590 $0 $306,930 0.96% City 0.2% Annual Chance Floodplain Property Values 0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 0.00% Source: Flood overlay shows the 2011 floodplain designations in Black Hawk County, Iowa.

According to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey, there are 3 mobile homes and 0 housing units in multi -unit buildings in Elk Run Heights. Persons living in mobile homes and multi -unit buildings are considered at higher risk during a tornado event. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 368 of 728 201 Vulnerability — Identifying Social Asset Populations The social vulnerability assessment also identified how the hazards affect the population of Elk Run Heights, and it is assumed that the identified populations are more likely to require assistance during times of disaster and are therefore, generally speaking, more at -risk than the remaining population. The at -risk population must be identified and targeted in successful mitigation efforts. According to 2017 ACS data, 22.6% of 1,014 residents, or approximately 229 persons, are 65 years or older. Persons under the age of 18 are also at higher risk during some disasters. This is mostly due to the fact that young people often are not aware of the proper actions to take in the event of a disaster. In addition, very young children would be more susceptible to a disaster such as a disease epidemic simply due to their age. In 2017, 107 persons were under the age of 18. As mentioned previously, persons living in mobile homes and persons living in multi -family housing units are also considered at risk. The City of Elk Run Heights has 3 mobile homes and as of the 2017 ACS and no multi -family housing with 3 or more units.

Table C6 lists Building / Dwelling values by class for the City of Elk Run Heights. Since 100% of the city is at risk of some kind of hazard event, the entire city is considered to be in the hazard area. This data was used in the Vulnerability discussion in each of the Hazard Profiles in Section 3. This information was made available from the Black Hawk County Assessor's office. It should be noted however that these dollar amounts do not include gas and electric utility valuations. These results should be considered preliminary, as a full accounting of assets has not been completed.

Accordingly, the values listed above should not be regarded as accurate for any purpose. Future Development Future development within identified hazard areas can change the threat level of an area by placing critical facilities, businesses, transportation networks, utilities, and populations within vulnerable areas. While it can be difficult to curb development in the planning area, it is the jurisdiction's advantage to be aware of development trends in order to successfully mitigation future hazards as risks increase. However, continued conformity with the State Building Codes and local land use ordinances and regulations (zoning, subdivision, floodplain management, etc.) will help to mitigate the effects hazards have on new and future development. Page 370 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 203 Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA defines a repetitive loss property as an insurable building that has experienced no losses in a 10-year period in which each loss is $1,000 or more. According to available FEMA data (as of 5/31/09), the City of Elk Run Heights participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and has no repetitive loss properties. Table 45 in Section 3 lists data from each city regarding the National Flood Insurance Program. MITIGATION STRATEGY Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals The hazard mitigation plan goals were reviewed by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee at their second committee meeting. The committee set as a priority the development of broad -based goals that would address a multitude of hazards and encompass a variety of mitigation activities. The updated (non - revised) hazard mitigation plan goals for the City of Elk Run Heights are: 1. PROTECT: Protect the health and safety of residents, visitors, staff and emergency personnel during and after hazard events. 2. PREVENT: Prevent avoidable disasters. 3. MINIMIZE: Minimize losses to existing and future structures in hazard areas, especially critical facilities. 4. MAINTAIN: Maintain local services and infrastructure in order to reduce community, economic and environmental disruption during and after hazard events. 5. RESTORE: Return the community to either pre -disaster or improved conditions in a timely manner in the wake of a disaster. 6. EDUCATE: Educate the public about hazards and resources available. 7. ACCOUNTABILITY: Use public funds in an efficient, cost effective and fair manner. 8. COLLABORATE: Incorporate each jurisdiction into the Black Hawk County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Current Mitigation Actions Prevention Mitigation Actions The Zoning Ordinance was last updated during March of 1999. The Zoning Ordinance recognizes eight differing districts. These districts include an Agricultural District, two Residential Districts, two Commercial Districts, and an Industrial District. Included within the Zoning Ordinance are the various articles. Page 371 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 204 The City of Elk Run Heights became an active member in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) on September 1, 1983 by adopting its initial floodplain ordinance. The City updated the Floodplain Ordinance most recently in 1989. The Floodplain Management Ordinance identifies and defines the permitted and restricted uses that fall within four distinguishable areas as identified on the corresponding flood insurance rate map. These four areas include the floodway, the floodway fringe, the general floodplain, and the shallow flooding district. The City Clerk is charged with the administration and enforcement of the Floodplain Ordinance. In accordance with NFIP guidelines, the ordinance does not allow for new construction within the floodway. In February 1983 a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) was prepared for the City of Elk Run Heights. The study was conducted under the auspices of FEMA, who cooperated with members of the community and the Iowa Natural Resources Council to gather relevant data. The 1983 Elk Run Heights FIS cited other studies as well that pertained to the flooding situation in and around the City. The first was a document titled Interim Review of Reports for Flood Control, Iowa and Cedar Rivers, Iowa and Minnesota at Evansdale Iowa, 1973, which was produced by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The second was an additional Flood Insurance Study produced by FEMA for all of the unincorporated areas of Black Hawk County. Finally, in conjunction with the Elk Run Heights FIS, a Flood Insurance Rate Map was published. This map identifies the 100-year and 500-year floodplains within the city limits. At the time of the study no flood protection measures were identified with the exception of the note that vegetation was mitigating the erosion of the creek banks. The City of Elk Run Heights has adopted and enforces the following codes: • 2012 Uniform Building Code of the International Conference of Building Officials • IAPMO Installation Standards of the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials • 1991 Uniform Plumbing Code • 1991 Uniform Mechanical Code of the International Conference of Building Officials • 1990 Electric Code and all provisions of National Electric Code standards referred to therein published by the National Fire Protection Association However, the City has and enforces a building code, which is a significant earthquake mitigation activity. It is expected that if an earthquake were to occur, the damage would be limited to the shifting of buildings off of their foundations, cracked plaster on walls and ceilings, and perhaps some bowed walls. Underground utilities would be at greater risk of damage during the winter season if the ground were frozen to depths of four feet or greater. Property Protection Mitigation Actions The City participated in the 1999 Flood Recovery Program by using money made available through FEMA and the Iowa Department of Economic Development (IDED). The City identified two structures that they felt would be excellent candidates for buyouts. Both of these structures have been acquired and demolished. The total assessed value for these properties was $62,180. Damages suffered by these properties during the 1999 flood were estimated at $11,000. Page 372 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 205 Due to the location of Elk Run Heights on the banks of Elk Run Creek and near the Cedar River the probability of flooding remains a possibility. However, the probability of flooding was greatly reduced with the construction of a large drainage ditch on the north of Dubuque Road (north of town). The ditch rerouted water west to Elk Run Creek that previously flowed through residential housing and the heart of the community. The benefits of the drainage ditch were obvious during the flood of 1999. Additionally, the construction of Interstate 380 is viewed as being effective at preventing water from entering the community from the south. Public Education and Awareness Mitigation Actions A new statewide reverse 911 system known as Alert Iowa was implemented by implemented by Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management in 2014. Citizens have the ability to "opt in" to receive weather alerts and enter a cell phone, work phone, and other additional alternative phone numbers. Radio, television, cellular telephones, landline telephones, newspapers, warning sirens, NOAA Radio Service and the internet are available to the public at large. The City has developed a website in order to keep its citizens, and other interested parties, aware of local and government affairs. The website address is www.elkrunheightsia.com. Emergency Services Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency The Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency is governed by a board of eleven commissioners comprised of the Mayors from each incorporated jurisdiction in the County or their designated delegate, a representative of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Chairperson of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors. The Emergency Management Agency works in conjunction with local fire, rescue, police, and government officials to draft and implement workable emergency action plans in the community. Furthermore, the agency is responsible for the monthly testing of all outdoor warning sirens in Black Hawk County. Fire Department The City of Elk Run Heights currently contracts its fire service from Waterloo Fire and Rescue. Some of the services provided include fire suppression, extrication, carbon monoxide detection, water rescue, ice rescue, confined space rescue, trench rescue, and rope rescue. These services are accomplished with 21 front line units ranging from airport crash fire rescue to aerial ladders, to ambulances and rescue boats staffed by an average of 34 firefighters per shift at seven different fire stations. The current fire rating for the City of Elk Run Heights is six (6). No decrease in the rating is expected as it would require a full-time fire department to lower rates. A larger water supply is also required. Medical Services In addition to numerous private clinics and practicing physicians, Black Hawk County has four major medical facilities, all of which are located in either Waterloo Page 373 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 206 or Cedar Falls. Three of these facilities are considered Regional Hospitals, otherwise referred to as Level II. Mercy One Medical Center and Unity Point Hospital are located in Waterloo. Mercy One Medical Center has a second location in Cedar Falls. Another smaller facility, Peoples Community Health Clinic (Level IV) is affiliated with Covenant Medical Center, and located in downtown Waterloo. Police The City of Elk Run Heights currently contracts with the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department for police protection. The City contracts on an annual basis with the Sheriff's Department for their service. Hazardous Materials A regional Hazard Materials Team is prepared to assist the community during a Hazard Materials event or catastrophe. The Team is located within a short distance of the city and is operated by Waterloo Fire Rescue Department. The city is also a partner in the Tri-County Drug Task Force. The group works with the City in the event of the discovery of a methamphetamine lab within the community. Snow Removal Snow removal and ice prevention techniques are practiced by City and County employees on the corresponding local and county roadways within the city limits. The City currently employs one full and two part time drivers for snow removal efforts. Equipment used for snow and ice removal includes a Ford F700 Truck, Snow Plow (for truck), and Small John Deere Loader Tractor. In an ideal winter storm scenario, it is estimated that all of the City roads can be adequately cleared within five hours. Warning Systems There are no tornado warning sirens in the City of Elk Run Heights. However, the neighboring cities of Evansdale and Raymond have three sirens and one siren, respectively. Two of the sirens in Evansdale are within 2,000 feet of the City's border with Elk Run Heights. Considering that Elk Run Heights is only 1.06 square miles in total area, the surrounding cities' sirens are considered to provide adequate warning to those living and working in Elk Run Heights. Page 374 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 207 Future Mitigation Actions While the existing mitigation activities discussed above detail the comprehensive efforts to mitigate hazards when possible and to respond to hazards in a timely and efficient manner, the Committee also recognizes that there are many more mitigation activities and projects that would benefit community residents. Thus, the Committee developed a list of future hazard mitigation activities that, if accomplished, would serve to further reduce the risk of hazards to the community. The list may include a combination of projects the Committee feels the community should try to accomplish and mitigation efforts that are ongoing that the Committee view as vital to the continued well-being of the public. The Committee analyzed the potential mitigation activities. This analysis included a discussion of the potential benefits of implementing the activity, some hurdles that the community may face in implementing the action step, and the drawbacks of implementation. The analysis utilized the STAPLEE feasibility criteria. The STAPLEE technique is a FEMA suggested method of evaluation. The S —Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do not adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A — Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P —Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L — Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E —Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental. The Committee was asked to discuss the STAPLEE elements (Table C8) and determine each element's ranking (High -H, Medium -M, Low-L) for each identified future mitigation activity. Afterwards, the average priority for each mitigation activity was recorded as the overall priority ranking for that particular future mitigation activity. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 375 of 728 208 Timeline The Committee identified the time period each of the proposed mitigation activity will occur. For instance, if the activity happens regularly (either daily, weekly, monthly, or annually) it was identified as On -Going activity; if it will occur within the next 1-5 years it was identified as Short -Term; if the activity would take 5-10 years to occur it was labeled as Mid -Term; and all activities that would take 10 or more years to occur were identified as Long -Term. Funding Although in the long-term hazard mitigation actions will save money by avoiding the loss of lives or property damages, in the short-term each action will have an associated cost. The city will rely heavily on local funding sources to fulfill most of the plan obligations; however, they will also seek funds from State and Federal agencies for both pre- and post -disaster mitigation activities. The estimated cost(s) for each mitigation action, program, or project is either: Minimal, Low, Moderate, or High depending upon various factors. • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate : Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High : Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. Implementation Strategy Once the Committee identified and ranked the future hazard mitigation activities, the activities were then analyzed. In addition, the Committee identified a time line for each activity, identified the responsible party or parties for each activity, and finally related each activity to at least one of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals listed above. Table C8 below is the City of Elk Run Heights' Implementation Strategy.

The elevation of the community is approximately 840 feet above sea level. Three major thoroughfares run east -west through the city: Interstate 380/US Highway 20, Dubuque Road, and Lafayette Road. Two local roads, Evansdale Drive and River Forest Road, also accommodate thru-traffic and serve as the only two access routes to I-380/US 20 (Exits 68 and 70 respectively) in Evansdale. The city is bordered by the Cedar River to the west and south, the Black Hawk County unincorporated area to the southeast, Elk Run Heights to the east, and Waterloo to the north and northwest. The City of Waterloo is situated across the Cedar River from Evansdale to the west. Natural Environment There are two waterways located within the City of Evansdale. The Cedar River flows from northwest to southeast, and serves as the western and southern city limits. The Cedar River is served by several tributaries and eventually flows into the Iowa River. The Cedar River drainage area is 5,146 square miles, with a total of 3,197.5 river and streams miles. Elk Run Creek flows through the city and runs from northeast to southwest and is one of the tributaries flowing into the Cedar River. Elk Run Creek empties into the Cedar River at the southern edge of the Evansdale city limits. The drainage area of Elk Run Creek is 32 square miles. As a result of the two waterways located in the city, the city has an identified 100-year floodplain and has used information regarding the floodplain when making development decisions. According to the Black Hawk County Soil Survey conducted in 1977 by the United State Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service, the soil in Evansdale is "Loamy alluvial land, channeled ... nearly level and gently sloping, excessively drained to poorly drained loamy soils formed in loamy alluvial sediments; on bottom lands and terraces". These soils tend to act as drainage ways for more elevated surrounding areas. Drainage can be a problem if there is no suitable outlet for the waters. In addition, due to their location in and near the Cedar and Elk Run Creek floodplains, some of the soils in Evansdale may be subject to flooding. Transportation Two major highways pass through the City of Evansdale, Interstate 380/US Highway 20 and Dubuque Road (Old US Highway 20). Where these highways pass through the city, they are four -lane divided highways. Interstate 380 passes through the southern portion of the city and Dubuque Road passes through the northern portion of the city. Vehicular traffic in the city is highest on Interstate. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT), as of 2017, an Page 383 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 216 average of 38,000 cars and trucks travel on that stretch of highway each day. As of 2017, an additional 4,420 vehicles travel each day on Dubuque Road, according to the IDOT. These amounts do not include the number of cars using city streets each day. The major rail transportation route located near the city is the Canadian National Railway Company rail line that runs just north of the city's northern city limits. This railroad operates 6,400 miles of track in the United States, with 558 miles located in Iowa. Trains running on the track north of Evansdale occasionally carry chemicals and other farm products that could cause a hazard if spilled or leaked into the environment. The nearest airport is the Waterloo Municipal Airport, located north of Waterloo, approximately eight miles from Evansdale. Bus service is available within the city for some populations. The city is served by the Iowa Northland Regional Transit Commission and the Waterloo Metropolitan Transit Authority Paratransit service, both of which offers transportation services to special populations. In addition, the City of Evansdale is connected to an extensive trail system that serves pedestrian and bicycle users. The Cedar Valley Lakes Trail connects Evansdale to Waterloo, and the Cedar Valley Nature Trail runs south out of the City to Cedar Rapids. The two Cedar Valley trails are connected by the Gilbertville Drive Trail. The Cedar Valley Nature trail bridge south of Evansdale was destroyed by flooding in June 2008 and has since been replaced. There are no major commercial watercraft routes in Evansdale. The Cedar River does offer a location for recreational watercraft use by the public. Community Services The city has a municipal water supply and is connected to the cities of Waterloo and Elk Run Heights for emergency needs. The city has adequate water supply and quality water, and has recently constructed of a 750,000-gallon storage facility. The water system has a design capacity of 1,400,000 gallons per day. Average daily use is currently 350,000 gallons per day with peak usage of 650,000 gallons per day. The capacity of the city's wastewater facility is currently more than adequate. Design capacity is currently 1,000,000 gallons per day. Currently the average usage is 410,000 gallons per day, with peak usage at 675,000 gallons per day. In addition, the wastewater system is televised by quadrant periodically and infiltration and inflow are kept in check. The plant has undergone major renovation about every ten years and with continuous maintenance and modification the facility is adequate to meet increasing environmental standards. The City is exploring options to make updates to its wastewater treatment facility in order to comply with Iowa Department of Natural Resources guidelines. Utility Provider Electric Mid -American Energy Gas Mid -American Energy Water/Sewer City Telephone/Internet CenturyLink, Mediacom Cable TV Mediacom Finally, the facility is entirely within the floodplain; however, it is well protected by a levee and has never been damaged by floodwaters. The city's lift station is protected by a levee system as well. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 384 of 728 217 Demographics The community demographics appear in Table D2.

However, each community analyzed their own vulnerability to those hazards applicable to their jurisdiction. Using the methodology outlined in Section 3 (Vulnerability Assessment), the City of Evansdale evaluated the risk associated with a specific hazard, defined by probability and frequency of occurrence, magnitude, severity, exposures, and consequences. Evansdale's vulnerability assessment provides in-depth knowledge of the hazards and vulnerabilities that affect the community. This analysis provides an all -hazard approach when evaluating the hazards of that affect the city, and the associated risks and impacts each hazard presents. As mentioned previously in Section 3, the vulnerability assessment requires a five-year review with periodic updates, as needed. Potential future hazards and impacts may result from changing technology, new critical facilities, infrastructures, and development patterns, as well as demographic and socioeconomic changes that occur within or outside the area. Disaster frequency and its effects or severity are important as a basis for planning emergency response and mitigation. Natural hazards tend to reoccur on a predictable seasonal basis, whereas manmade or technological events tend to change over time with advancement in technology and methods of operation. Five criteria were used by the Committee to assure a systematic and comprehensive approach to hazard analysis for their individual jurisdictions included: Historical Occurrence, Probability, Magnitude/Severity, Warning Time, and Duration. Due to recent disasters and events that have impacted the planning area, Evansdale determined that even though the historical occurrences were low for certain hazards, the probability ranking for future occurrences should be higher. Table D3 identifies the analysis scores for the City of Evansdale. As seen in Table D3, the top hazards are Flash Flood, River Flooding and Severe Winter Storm. The tables below identify the scoring criteria utilized by the Committee to evaluate each hazard. Further descriptions are provided in Section 3. Page 386 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 219 PRO:±; ■ - Score Description 1 Unlikely Less than 10% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 10 chance of occurring), history of events is less than 10% likely or the event is unlikely but there is a possibility of its occurrence. 2 Occasional Between 10% and 20% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 5 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 10% but less than 20% or the event could possibly occur. 3 Likely Between 20% and 33% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 3 chance of occurring), history of events if greater than 20% but less than 33% or the event is likely to occur. 4 Highly Likely More than 33% probability in any given year (event has up to a 1 in 1 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 33% likely or the event is highly likely to occur. Rating Description 1 Negligible Less than 10% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for less than 24 hours, and/or injuries/illnesses treatable with first aid 2 Limited 10% to 25% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and service for more than a week, and/or injuries/illnesses that do not result in permanent disability. 3 Critical 25% to 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for at least two weeks, and/or injuries/illnesses that result in permanent disability. 4 Catastrophic More than 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for more than 30 days, and/or multiple deaths.

Since the majority of the hazards have an undefined hazard area (i.e., affecting an entire community or larger area) the following vulnerability assessment will only address those hazards that affect a specified area — flooding (river and flash). However, due to the community's historical occurrences of tornados this hazard was added to the assessment. The following discussion only considers the assets in the community of Evansdale. Critical Facilities City Hall Bunger Middle School Poyner Elementary School Community Response Center Source: Community Identifying the location of critical facilities is important in order to assess their vulnerability to hazards, since these facilities are important to the community's operations, quality of life, and economic sector. These include but are not limited to schools, hospitals, libraries, police and fire stations, water towers, sirens, and lift stations. Map 55 shows the locations of these critical facilities throughout Evansdale. Table D4 shows the locations identified as shelters in Evansdale. While these locations have been identified for use if deemed necessary, there may also be hazard events which require residents to shelter themselves "in place". Therefore, any location could potentially become a makeshift shelter for purposes of disaster response. Homes In Hazardous Areas As shown in Map 12 & Map 13, the majority of Evansdale's area is within the 500-year floodplain. Fortunately, the same does not hold true for the 100-year floodplain. In the southeast portion of the city, Interstate 380/US Highway 20 acts as a flood barrier protecting the city just north of the highway and keeping it out of the 100-year floodplain. There are also levee improvements along the Cedar River and Elk Run Creek, keeping the majority of the nearby development outside the 100-year floodplain. Table D5 identifies the value of floodplain parcels within Evansdale.

According to rep 2008-2012 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, there are an estimated 85 mobile homes in Evansdale. However, the local community reports fewer mobile homes, at 31. Using the average household size of 2.39 persons/housing units, there are an estimated 74 persons living in mobile homes in the city. Finally, persons living in some multi -family units may also be at risk due to the lack of a proper tornado shelter. According to the 2008-2012 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, there are an estimated 175 housing units in multi -family buildings of 3 or more units in Evansdale. Therefore, there are an estimated 418 persons living in multi -family buildings of 3 or more units in the city. Page 390 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 223 Vulnerability — Identifying Social Asset Populations The social vulnerability assessment also identified how the hazards affect the population of Evansdale, and it is assumed that the identified populations are more likely to require assistance during times of disaster and are therefore, generally speaking, more at -risk than the remaining population. The at -risk population must be identified and targeted in successful mitigation efforts. According to 2013-2017 ACS data, 14.4% of 4,780 residents, or approximately 687 persons, are 65 years or older. Persons under the age of 18 are also at higher risk during some disasters. This is mostly due to the fact that young people often are not aware of the proper actions to take in the event of a disaster. In addition, very young children would be more susceptible to a disaster such as a disease epidemic simply due to their age. In 2017, 23.1% of 4,780 residents, or 1,105 persons, were under the age of 18, according to the ACS. As mentioned previously, persons living in mobile homes and persons living in multi -family housing units are also considered at risk. There are approximately 74 persons living in mobile homes and 418 persons living in multi -family housing units in Evansdale. Map 35 & Map 36 illustrate the impact of a hypothetical tornado event in Evansdale. According to data from the Black Hawk County Assessor's Office, there are a total of 2,199 structures in the community with a total value of $270,859,379.

Table D6 lists all of the structure valuations for the City of Evansdale. Since 100% of the city is at risk of some kind of hazard event, the entire city is considered to be in the hazard area. This data was used in the Vulnerability discussion in each of the Hazard Profiles in Section 3. The information in Table D7 was made available from the Black Hawk County Assessor's office. It should be noted however that these dollar amounts do not include gas and electric utility valuations. These results should be considered preliminary, as a full accounting of assets has not been completed.

While it can be difficult to curb development in the planning area, it is the jurisdiction's advantage to be aware of development trends in order to successfully mitigation future hazards as risks increase. However, continued conformity with the State Building Codes and local land use ordinances and regulations (zoning, subdivision, floodplain management, etc.) will help to mitigate the effects hazards have on new and future development. Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA defines a repetitive loss property as an insurable building that has experienced no losses in a 10-year period in which each loss is $1,000 or more. According to available FEMA data (as of 9/30/2019), the City of Evansdale participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and has three repetitive loss properties. Table 45 in Section 3 lists data from each city regarding the National Flood Insurance Program. MITIGATION STRATEGY Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals The hazard mitigation plan goals were reviewed by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee at their second committee meeting. The committee set as a priority the development of broad -based goals that would address a multitude of hazards and encompass a variety of mitigation activities. The updated (non - revised) hazard mitigation plan goals for the City of Evansdale are: 1. PROTECT: Protect the health and safety of residents, visitors, staff and emergency personnel during and after hazard events. 2. PREVENT: Prevent avoidable disasters. 3. MINIMIZE: Minimize losses to existing and future structures in hazard areas, especially critical facilities. 4. MAINTAIN: Maintain local services and infrastructure in order to reduce community, economic and environmental disruption during and after hazard events. 5. RESTORE: Return the community to either pre -disaster or improved conditions in a timely manner in the wake of a disaster. 6. EDUCATE: Educate the public about hazards and resources available. 7. ACCOUNTABILITY: Use public funds in an efficient, cost effective and fair manner. 8. COLLABORATE: Incorporate each jurisdiction into the Black Hawk County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Page 393 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 226 Current Mitigation Actions Prevention Mitigation Actions The community adopted a land use plan prior to establishing a Zoning Ordinance in 1968-69. The plan was updated in 1989 after the completion of flood control measures and the opening of the Interstate 380 that passes through the community. The Zoning Ordinance was introduced to the community in 1960. Floodplain control has been a key element that the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Zoning Administrator has had to manage over the past 49 years. The Zoning Code recognizes Residential, Multi -Unit Residential, Commercial, Manufacturing, Agricultural and Unclassified areas. Unclassified areas are predominately no -build floodplain areas. The City of Evansdale has adopted the Uniform, Building, Plumbing, Electrical and Mechanical Codes. The City has a Code and Zoning Administrator with an office in City Hall. The enforcement of the various codes since 1960 has dramatically reduced the number of household fire calls, caused by improper electrical and heating installations. Property Protection Mitigation Actions In an effort to protect Evansdale properties from flooding, the city has initiated many programs. Through a combined Urban Renewal and Iowa Department of Transportation program, the city operated a housing removal and demolition program. These houses were purchased to make way for the new interstate highway. However, some of these homes were in the 100-year floodplain and were at risk of flooding. The program ran from 1970 through 1982, and a total of 51 houses were purchased and demolished and/or moved to a new location. As a result of the 1993 flood, the city also undertook a flood buy-out program. This program was funded in part by the City of Evansdale, Iowa Emergency Management Division, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Community Development Block Grant Funds. The buy-out program ran from 1994 to 1997 and a total of 7 houses were purchased and demolished and/or moved to a new location. In 1995, the city approved an elevation project that was undertaken by a local citizen wishing to raise a house to an elevation out of the 100-year floodplain. This is allowed by the City Code of Ordinance. There is a limited number of residential housing in the floodplain that has a cost to benefit ratio to provide financial assistance to elevate, rather than acquire and demolish. After Evansdale was flooded in June 2008, the city submitted an application for buyout program funding from FEMA. An application to buyout eight properties was approved by FEMA in May 2009. This included five residential properties and three vacant lots. The city received buyout funding from FEMA totaling $661,143. The buyout program resulted in the purchase of seven houses that were demolished and the acquisition of two vacant lots. Page 394 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 227 Public Education and Awareness Mitigation Actions A new statewide reverse 911 system known as Alert Iowa was implemented by implemented by Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management in 2014. Citizens have the ability to "opt in" to receive weather alerts and enter a cell phone, work phone, and other additional alternative phone numbers. Radio, television, cellular telephones, landline telephones, newspapers, warning sirens, NOAA Radio Service and the internet are available to the public at large. The City has developed a website in order to keep its citizens, and other interested parties, aware of local and government affairs. The website address is www.evansdale.govoffice.com. Emergency Services Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency The Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency is governed by a board of eleven commissioners comprised of the Mayors from each incorporated jurisdiction in the County or their designated delegate, a representative of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Chairperson of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors. The Emergency Management Agency works in conjunction with local fire, rescue, police, and government officials to draft and implement workable emergency action plans in the community. Furthermore, the agency is responsible for the monthly testing of all outdoor warning sirens in Black Hawk County. Fire Department The City of Evansdale provides fire and rescue services through its on -call volunteer department. The Evansdale Fire Rescue provides fire, rescue and advanced care EMS services to the residents of the City of Evansdale Rescue and Advanced Care EMS services to the cities of Raymond and Gilbertville in Black Hawk County along with a portion of rural Black Hawk County. The fire department has in place 28E agreements with surrounding communities to provide and receive assistance as needed on a mutual aid basis. The communities that the Evansdale Fire Rescue maintains 28E agreements with include Raymond, Gilbertville, Dunkerton, Cedar Falls, La Porte City, Hudson, and Waterloo. The Evansdale Fire Rescue is rated by the ISO as a Class 4 department. The Evansdale Fire Rescue also operates two ambulances licensed to operate at a "Provisional Paramedic" level. As of 2020, the fire department is staffed by one full-time medic, two on -call paramedics, one advanced EMTs, and thirteen on -call EMTs. Medical Services There is no hospital located in Evansdale. However, Black Hawk County has four major medical facilities, all of which are located in either Waterloo or Cedar Falls. Three of these facilities are considered Regional Hospitals, otherwise referred to as Level II. Mercy One Medical Center and Unity Point Hospital are located in Waterloo. Mercy One Medical Center has a second location in Cedar Falls. Another smaller facility, Peoples Community Health Clinic (Level IV), Page 395 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 228 affiliated with Covenant Medical Center, is located in downtown Waterloo. Police The Evansdale Police Department, Black Hawk County Sheriff's Office, and the Iowa State Patrol provide police protection. The Evansdale Police Department is staffed with full-time, part-time and reserve officers. The Department serves the city of Evansdale and Elk Run Heights. Equipment used by the Police Department includes five patrol cars, two bicycles, five mobile radios, 15 portable radios, camera and video equipment, and emergency medical equipment. Hazardous Materials The City of Evansdale contracts with the Northeast Iowa Response Group (affiliated with Waterloo Fire Rescue) to assist with any hazardous materials incidents that may occur within the city. The team is based within a short distance from Evansdale and staffed with specialized technicians from the Waterloo Fire Rescue. Evansdale is also an active member of the Tri-County Drug Task Force who is available to assist in the clean-up of clandestine laboratories that may be discovered in the community. Snow Removal The NOAA estimates that approximately 70 percent of all deaths attributed to winter storms occur in an automobile. Therefore, the City of Evansdale views proper snow and ice removal from roadways to be essential in mitigating negative effects of these events. Snow removal and ice prevention techniques are practiced by city and state employees on the corresponding local and state roadways within the city limits. The city employs full-time and part-time drivers for snow removal efforts. One driver is used for each piece of equipment. In the event that a driver cannot perform his or her duties, drivers are pulled from other city departments as necessary. Equipment used for snow and ice removal includes: • Two double axel trucks with snow blades • Two single axel dump trucks with snow blades • One end -loader with a snow plow • One skid -loader with a snow plow, and • One skid -loader with a snow blower Page 396 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 229 Warning Systems In the event of a tornado the City of Evansdale has a system of outdoor warning sirens that, given enough time, allow people to search for suitable shelter. In addition to siren alerts in the community there are also a wide variety of early warning messages provided through local radio and television stations as well as the Weather Channel. Future Mitigation Actions While the existing mitigation activities discussed above detail the comprehensive efforts to mitigate hazards when possible and to respond to hazards in a timely and efficient manner, the Committee also recognizes that there are many more mitigation activities and projects that would benefit community residents. Thus, the Committee developed a list of future hazard mitigation activities that, if accomplished, would serve to further reduce the risk of hazards to the community. The list may include a combination of projects the Committee feels the community should try to accomplish and mitigation efforts that are ongoing that the Committee view as vital to the continued well-being of the public. The Committee analyzed the potential mitigation activities. This analysis included a discussion of the potential benefits of implementing the activity, some hurdles that the community may face in S — Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do not adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A — Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P — Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L— Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E — Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E - Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. implementing the action step, and the drawbacks of implementation. The analysis utilized the STAPLEE feasibility criteria. The STAPLEE technique is a FEMA suggested method of evaluation. The STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental. The Committee was asked to discuss the STAPLEE elements (Table D8) and determine each element's ranking (High -H, Medium -M, Low-L) for each identified future mitigation activity. Afterwards, the average priority for each mitigation activity was recorded as the overall priority ranking for that particular future mitigation activity. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 397 of 728 230 Timeline The Committee identified the time period each of the proposed mitigation activity will occur. For instance, if the activity happens regularly (either daily, weekly, monthly, or annually) it was identified as On -Going activity; if it will occur within the next 1-5 years it was identified as Short -Term; if the activity would take 5-10 years to occur it was labeled as Mid -Term; and all activities that would take 10 or more years to occur were identified as Long -Term. Funding Although in the long-term hazard mitigation actions will save money by avoiding the loss of lives or property damages, in the short-term each action will have an associated cost. The city will rely heavily on local funding sources to fulfill most of the plan obligations; however, they will also seek funds from State and Federal agencies for both pre- and post -disaster mitigation activities. The estimated cost(s) for each mitigation action, program, or project is either: Minimal, Low, Moderate, or High depending upon various factors. • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate: Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High: Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. Implementation Strategy Once the Committee identified and ranked the future hazard mitigation activities, the activities were then analyzed. In addition, the Committee identified a time line for each activity, identified the responsible party or parties for each activity, and finally related each activity to at least one of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals listed above. Table D9 below is the City of Evansdale's Implementation Strategy.

Its elevation is approximately 846 feet above sea level. The city is bordered on the north, east, and south by farmland, and on the west by the Cedar River. The land within the city is generally flat with a few areas of steeper grade near the Cedar River and the creek that runs through the community. Natural Environment There is one major waterway, Cedar River, located near the City of Gilbertville. The Cedar River flows from northwest to southeast, and borders the western city limits. The Cedar River is served by several tributaries and eventually flows into the Iowa River. The Cedar River drainage area is 5,146 square miles, with a total of 3,197.5 river and streams miles. According to the Black Hawk County Soil Survey conducted in 1977 by the United State Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service, the soil in Gilbertville is "Loamy alluvial land, channeled ... nearly level and gently sloping, excessively drained to poorly drained loamy soils formed in loamy alluvial sediments; on bottom lands and terraces". These soils tend to act as drainage ways for more elevated surrounding areas. Drainage can be a problem if there is no suitable outlet for the waters. In addition, due to their location in and near the Cedar River floodplain, some of the soils in Gilbertville may be subject to flooding. Transportation Iowa State Highway 297 and Black Hawk County Highway D38, as well as multiple local roads, provide access to Gilbertville. 5th Street is Gilbertville's main thoroughfare, which the city's modest business district is situated along. Interstate 380 runs north -south approximately two miles east of Gilbertville. 10th Avenue provides access to the Interstate at Exit 62. US Highway 218, which also runs north -south, is approximately 2 % miles west of Gilbertville. East Washburn Road provides the most direct access to the highway. The Cedar Valley Nature Trail bypasses Gilbertville less than a half -mile west of the city, on the other side of the Cedar River. Residents can take the trail north straight to Evansdale and Elk Run Heights or south straight to La Porte City. Page 404 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 237 There is neither a railroad nor airport in Gilbertville. The nearest airport is the Waterloo Regional Airport, approximately 15 miles northwest of Gilbertville. Community Services The City has a municipal water supply that is derived from two wells. A third emergency well exists, but has not been used for some time. The City has an elevated storage capacity of 25,000 gallons. Average daily use is approximately 50,000 gallons per day with 70 gallons per capita per day. The capacity of the City's Wastewater Facility is currently more than adequate. Design capacity is currently 200,000 gallons per day. Currently the average usage is 7,000 gallons per day, with peak usage at 311,000 gallons per day. The system is considered to be a mechanical type system, as opposed to a primary, secondary, lagoon, or trickling system. Demographics The community's demographics appear in table E2.

However, each community analyzed their own vulnerability to those hazards applicable to their jurisdiction. Using the methodology outlined in Section 3 (Vulnerability Assessment), the City of Gilbertville evaluated the risk associated with a specific hazard, defined by probability and frequency of occurrence, magnitude, severity, exposures, and consequences. Gilbertville's vulnerability assessment provides in-depth knowledge of the hazards and vulnerabilities that affect the community. This analysis provides an all -hazard approach when evaluating the hazards of that affect the city, and the associated risks and impacts each hazard presents. As mentioned previously in Section 3, the vulnerability assessment requires a five-year review with periodic updates, as needed. Potential future hazards and impacts may result from changing technology, new critical facilities, infrastructures, and development patterns, as well as demographic and socioeconomic changes that occur within or outside the area. Disaster frequency and its effects or severity are important as a basis for planning emergency response and mitigation. Natural hazards tend to reoccur on a predictable seasonal basis, whereas manmade or technological events tend to change over time with advancement in technology and methods of operation. Five criteria were used by the Committee to assure a systematic and comprehensive approach to hazard analysis for their individual jurisdictions included: Historical Occurrence, Probability, Magnitude/Severity, Warning Time, and Duration. Due to recent disasters and events that have impacted the planning area, Gilbertville determined that even though the historical occurrences were low for certain hazards, the probability ranking for future occurrences should be higher. Table E3 identifies the analysis scores for the City of Gilbertville. As seen in Table E3, the top hazards are Transportation Incident, Thunderstorm/Lightning/Hail and Severe Winter Storm. The tables below identify the scoring criteria utilized by the Committee to evaluate each hazard. Further descriptions are provided in Section 3.

Since the majority of the hazards have an undefined hazard area (i.e., affecting an entire community or larger area) the following vulnerability assessment will only address those hazards that affect a specified area — flooding (river and flash). However, due to the community's historical occurrences of tornados this hazard was added to the assessment. The following discussion only considers the assets in the community of Gilbertville. Critical Facilities TABLE E4: SHELTERS IN GILBERTVILLE Don Bosco School Source: Community Identifying the location of critical facilities is important in order to assess their vulnerability to hazards, since these facilities are important to the community's operations, quality of life, and economic sector. These include but are not limited to schools, hospitals, libraries, police and fire stations, water towers, sirens, and lift stations. Map 56 shows the locations of these critical facilities throughout Gilbertville. Table E4 shows the location identified as a shelter in Gilbertville, the Don Bosco School, which has a capacity of 3,200 persons. While this location has been identified for use if deemed necessary, there may also be hazard events which require residents to shelter themselves "in place". Therefore, any location could potentially become a makeshift shelter for purposes of disaster response. Homes In Hazardous Areas As shown in Map 14 & Map 15, the vast majority of the city is outside the 100-year floodplain. Only a small portion of the city's southwest corner is within the floodplain, and that area is mostly preservation or park space. Fortunately, there are no structures of any kind identified within the floodplain. However, there are 68 parcels in the floodplain. The value of all property within the city's floodplain was $6,815,810 in 2019. _- __ LE # of Parcels Total Land Value Total Building Value Total Dwelling Value Multi- Residential Land Total Value Percent of City Damaged City Floodway Property Values 6 $165,240 $30,450 $0 $0 $195,690 0.35% City 1% Annual Chance Floodplain Property Values 62 $793,190 $4,200,950 $1,625,980 $0 $6,620,120 11.72% City 0.2% Annual Chance Floodplain Property Values 0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 0.00% Source: Flood overlay shows the 2011 floodplain designations in Black Hawk County, Iowa.

The incorporated boundaries were current as of 5/5/19. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 410 of 728 243 Persons residing in mobile homes and multi -unit apartments are considered at a higher risk of tornados. There are no mobile homes in Gilbertville; however, there are 25 housing units in multi -unit buildings consisting of 3 or more units. Using the average household size for Gilbertville according to the 2010 U.S Census, there are approximately 59 persons residing in multi -unit buildings consisting of 3 or more units. Vulnerability — Identifying Social Asset Populations The social vulnerability assessment also identified how the hazards affect the population of Gilbertville, and it is assumed that the identified populations are more likely to require assistance during times of disaster and are therefore, generally speaking, more at -risk than the remaining population. The at -risk population must be identified and targeted in successful mitigation efforts. According to 2013-2017 ACS data, approximately 187 persons are 65 years or older, representing 24.9 percent of the population. Persons under the age of 18 are also at higher risk during some disasters. This is mostly due to the fact that young people often are not aware of the proper actions to take in the event of a disaster. In addition, very young children would be more susceptible to a disaster such as a disease epidemic simply due to their age. In 2017, 82 persons were under the age of 18, representing 10.9% of the population. As mentioned previously, persons living in mobile homes and persons living in multi -family housing units are also considered at risk. There are no persons living in mobile homes and an estimated 59 persons living in multi -family housing units in Gilbertville. Map 37 and Map 38 illustrate the impact of a hypothetical tornado event in Gilbertville. According to data from the Black Hawk County Assessor's Office, there are a total of 497 parcels of land in the community with a total value of $56,509,680. Table E6 illustrates the degree of impact that hypothetical tornado scenarios of various strengths would have on Gilbertville.

This scenario shows a realistic damage level to buildings and land calculated at the following percentages: EFO-EF1 = 25%; EF2-EF3 = 50%; EF4-EF5 = 100% Vulnerability — Estimating Potential Property Losses Valuations are an important component of hazard mitigation planning in so much as it provides measurable data that can be used to form some type of estimate as to the potential losses a community could face in the event of a disaster. Table E6 lists all of the structure valuations for the City of Gilbertville. Since 100% of the city is at risk of some kind of hazard event, the entire city is considered to be in the hazard area. This data was used in the Vulnerability discussion in each of the Hazard Profiles in Section 3. This information was made available from the Black Hawk County Assessor's office. It should be noted however that these dollar amounts do not include gas and electric utility valuations. These results should be considered preliminary, as a full accounting of assets has not been completed.

Accordingly, the values listed above should not be regarded as accurate for any purpose. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 412 of 728 245 Future Development Future development within identified hazard areas can change the threat level of an area by placing critical facilities, businesses, transportation networks, utilities, and populations within vulnerable areas. While it can be difficult to curb development in the planning area, it is the jurisdiction's advantage to be aware of development trends in order to successfully mitigation future hazards as risks increase. However, continued conformity with the State Building Codes and local land use ordinances and regulations (zoning, subdivision, floodplain management, etc.) will help to mitigate the effects hazards have on new and future development. Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA defines a repetitive loss property as an insurable building that has experienced no losses in a 10-year period in which each loss is $1,000 or more. According to available FEMA data (as of 9/30/19), the City of Gilbertville participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and has no repetitive loss properties. Table 45 in Section 3 lists data from each city regarding the National Flood Insurance Program. MITIGATION STRATEGY Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals The hazard mitigation plan goals were reviewed by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee at their second committee meeting. The committee set as a priority the development of broad -based goals that would address a multitude of hazards and encompass a variety of mitigation activities. The updated (non - revised) hazard mitigation plan goals for the City of Gilbertville are: 1. PROTECT: Protect the health and safety of residents, visitors, staff and emergency personnel during and after hazard events. 2. PREVENT: Prevent avoidable disasters. 3. MINIMIZE: Minimize losses to existing and future structures in hazard areas, especially critical facilities. 4. MAINTAIN: Maintain local services and infrastructure in order to reduce community, economic and environmental disruption during and after hazard events. 5. RESTORE: Return the community to either pre -disaster or improved conditions in a timely manner in the wake of a disaster. 6. EDUCATE: Educate the public about hazards and resources available. 7. ACCOUNTABILITY: Use public funds in an efficient, cost effective and fair manner. 8. COLLABORATE: Incorporate each jurisdiction into the Black Hawk County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Page 413 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 246 Current Mitigation Actions Prevention Mitigation Actions The City of Gilbertville has adopted a Floodplain Regulation Ordinance, which is included in the City's Code of Ordinance. The Mayor is responsible for administering the floodplain ordinance in addition to other duties. In accordance with NFIP guidelines, the ordinance does not allow for new construction within the floodway. In addition, it requires those structures within the floodway fringe to be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure; use construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage and; use construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage. The Federal Insurance Administration manages the insurance component of the NFIP, and works closely with FEMA's Mitigation Directorate, which oversees the floodplain management aspect of the program. Gilbertville, because of its membership, is eligible for the insurance benefits provided by this program. Property Protection Mitigation Actions According to City officials, Gilbertville has not participated in any housing buyout or property protection programs. Public Education and Awareness Mitigation Actions A new statewide reverse 911 system known as Alert Iowa was implemented by implemented by Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management in 2014. Citizens have the ability to "opt in" to receive weather alerts and enter a cell phone, work phone, and other additional alternative phone numbers. Radio, television, cellular telephones, landline telephones, newspapers, warning sirens, NOAA Radio Service and the Internet are available to the public at large. The City has developed a website in order to keep its citizens, and other interested parties, aware of local and government affairs. The website address is www.gilbertvilleia.com. Emergency Services Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency The Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency is governed by a board of eleven commissioners comprised of the Mayors from each incorporated jurisdiction in the County or their designated delegate, a representative of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Chairperson of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors. The Emergency Management Agency works in conjunction with local fire, rescue, police, and government officials to draft and Page 414 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 247 implement workable emergency action plans in the community. Furthermore, the agency is responsible for the monthly testing of all outdoor warning sirens in Black Hawk County. Fire Department The City of Gilbertville operates a volunteer Fire Department. As of 2010, the City of Gilbertville has approximately 19 volunteer firemen. The fire department has in place 28E agreements with surrounding communities to provide and receive assistance as needed on a mutual aid basis. The communities that the Gilbertville Volunteer Fire Department maintains 28E agreements include: Dunkerton, Evansdale, Hudson, Jesup, La Porte City, Raymond, and Waterloo. The Gilbertville Volunteer Fire Department operates the following equipment: 1988 Ford Pumper, 2005 Kenworth Pumper, 1983 Chevy Tanker, 1991 Chevy Crew Cab Pickup, 2004 Ford F350 Grass Truck, 2010 Tanker, and 2009 Honda MUV. Medical Services There is no hospital located in Gilbertville; however, Black Hawk County is presently a regional health care center. In addition to numerous private clinics and practicing physicians, Black Hawk County has four major medical facilities, all of which are located in either Waterloo or Cedar Falls. Three of these facilities are considered Regional Hospitals, otherwise referred to as Level II. Mercy One Medical Center and Unity Point Hospital are located in Waterloo. Mercy One Medical Center has a second location in Cedar Falls. Another smaller facility, Peoples Community Health Clinic (Level IV), affiliated with Covenant Medical Center, is located in downtown Waterloo. Police The Gilbertville Police Department, Black Hawk County Law Enforcement, and the Iowa State Patrol provide police protection. The Gilbertville Police Department currently consists of a full-time Police Chief, Assistant Police Chief, and three officers. Hazardous Materials A regional Hazard Materials Team is on hand to assist the community with a Hazard Materials event or catastrophe. The Team is located within a short distance and is operated by Waterloo Fire Rescue Department. The city is also a partner in the Tri-County Drug Task Force. The group works with the City in the event of the discovery of a methamphetamine lab within the community. Snow Removal City of Gilbertville views proper snow and ice removal from roadways to be essential in mitigating negative effects of these events. Snow removal and ice prevention techniques are practiced by city and county employees on the corresponding local and county roadways within the city limits. Equipment used for Page 415of728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 248 snow and ice removal include: 1992 John Deere Backhoe, 1997 Ford F450 Truck, 1993 International Dump Truck, 2009 Ford 4x4 pickup truck, 1965 Pelican Street Sweeper, and 1991 Ford Truck with Snowplow. In the event that a driver cannot perform his or her duties, drivers can be pulled from other city departments as necessary. Warning Systems There is currently one tornado warning siren in the center of the city. Future Mitigation Actions While the existing mitigation activities discussed above detail the comprehensive efforts to mitigate hazards when possible and to respond to hazards in a timely and S — Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do not adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A — Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P — Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L — Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E — Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E - Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. efficient manner, the Committee also recognizes that there are many more mitigation activities and projects that would benefit community residents. Thus, the Committee developed a list of future hazard mitigation activities that, if accomplished, would serve to further reduce the risk of hazards to the community. The list may include a combination of projects the Committee feels the community should try to accomplish and mitigation efforts that are ongoing that the Committee view as vital to the continued well-being of the public. The Committee analyzed the potential mitigation activities. This analysis included a discussion of the potential benefits of implementing the activity, some hurdles that the community may face in implementing the action step, and the drawbacks of implementation. The analysis utilized the STAPLEE feasibility criteria. The STAPLEE technique is a FEMA suggested method of evaluation. The STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental. The Committee was asked to discuss the STAPLEE elements (Table E8) and determine each element's ranking (High -H, Medium -M, Low-L) for each identified 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 416 of 728 249 future mitigation activity. Afterwards, the average priority for each mitigation activity was recorded as the overall priority ranking for that particular future mitigation activity. Timeline The Committee identified the time period each of the proposed mitigation activity will occur. For instance, if the activity happens regularly (either daily, weekly, monthly, or annually) it was identified as On -Going activity; if it will occur within the next 1-5 years it was identified as Short -Term; if the activity would take 5-10 years to occur it was labeled as Mid -Term; and all activities that would take 10 or more years to occur were identified as Long -Term. Funding Although in the long-term hazard mitigation actions will save money by avoiding the loss of lives or property damages, in the short-term each action will have an associated cost. The city will rely heavily on local funding sources to fulfill most of the plan obligations; however, they will also seek funds from State and Federal agencies for both pre- and post -disaster mitigation activities. The estimated cost(s) for each mitigation action, program, or project is either: Minimal, Low, Moderate, or High depending upon various factors. • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate: Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High: Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. Implementation Strategy Once the Committee identified and ranked the future hazard mitigation activities, the activities were then analyzed. In addition, the Committee identified a time line for each activity, identified the responsible party or parties for each activity, and finally related each activity to at least one of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals listed above. Table E9 below is the City of Gilbertville's Implementation Strategy.

The elevation of the community is approximately 902 feet above sea level. Black Hawk Creek bisects the community from northeast to southwest with the majority of the development in the southernmost part of the incorporated area. US Highway 63 is the most prominent highway in the city. Other major roads include Iowa State Highway 58, Eldora Rd/5th Street, and West Schrock Road. The city is bordered by farmland to the west, south, and east; Waterloo to the northeast; and US Highway 20 (Cedar Falls) to the north. Natural Environment The Black Hawk Creek largely defines the topography of Hudson. The terrain fluctuates from relatively flat expanses of land, generally located in or along the floodplain, to the undulating topography that characterizes the agricultural areas of northeast Iowa. The geographic area of Hudson and its surroundings are comprised of excellent soils for agriculture. Much of the land within Hudson is still in active production. The soils in Hudson, as have been excerpted from the Black Hawk County Soil Survey, are generally comprised of buildable soil types that will support development. Transportation As mentioned, the major roadways in Hudson are US Highway 63, US Highway 20, and Iowa State Highway 58. There are no airports or railroads in the city. The Waterloo Regional Airport is the closest airport, about 13 miles north-northeast of the city. The Sergeant Road Trail, which parallels US Highway 63 on its western side, connects the city directly to downtown Waterloo and the wider metropolitan trail network. Hudson is the southern terminus of the Sergeant Road Trail. Community Services Hudson purchases its water from Waterloo Water Works at an average of 65 million gallons per year. The water towner was built in 1969 and has an elevated storage capacity of 250,000 gallons. The average water consumption in the city is approximately 173,905 gallons per day. The demand for water fluctuates with industry demand and time of year. The peak consumption is reported to be approximately 418,880 gallons per day. The most recent annual usage figure was Page 425 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 258 63,475,380 gallons. In addition to the 250,000-gallon storage capacity of the water tower, the system has a back-up capacity of 750 gallons per minute. A long- term goal for the water supply system includes the construction of a new 350,000-gallon water tower. The City of Hudson currently bills for 850 active water meters in the community. Of these 850 water meters, 775 are for service provided to residential properties. The remaining meters are comprised of commercial, industrial, and government properties. The wastewater treatment facility and collection system, otherwise known as the sanitary sewer system, in owned and operated by the City. The facility includes a lagoon which holds 24 million gallons. The sewage treatment plant is considered a secondary system, more specifically, a two -cell aerated lagoon system. 100 percent of the city is served by this system. The average load on the system is approximately 199,000 gallons per day. The reported peak load is 740,000 gallons per day. The systems designed capacity is 500,000 gallons per day.

However, each community analyzed their own vulnerability to those hazards applicable to their jurisdiction. Using the methodology outlined in Section 3 (Vulnerability Assessment), the City of Hudson evaluated the risk associated with a specific hazard, defined by probability and frequency of occurrence, magnitude, severity, exposures, and consequences. Hudson's vulnerability assessment provides in-depth knowledge of the hazards and vulnerabilities that affect the community. This analysis provides an all -hazard approach when evaluating the hazards of that affect the city, and the associated risks and impacts each hazard presents. As mentioned previously in Section 3, the vulnerability assessment requires a five-year review with periodic updates, as needed. Potential future hazards and impacts may result from changing technology, new critical facilities, infrastructures, and development patterns, as well as demographic and socioeconomic changes that occur within or outside the area. Disaster frequency and its effects or severity are important as a basis for planning emergency response and mitigation. Natural hazards tend to reoccur on a predictable seasonal basis, whereas manmade or technological events tend to change over time with advancement in technology and methods of operation. Five criteria were used by the Committee to assure a systematic and comprehensive approach to hazard analysis for their individual jurisdictions included: Historical Occurrence, Probability, Magnitude/Severity, Warning Time, and Duration. Due to recent disasters and events that have impacted the planning area, Hudson determined that even though the historical occurrences were low for certain hazards, the probability ranking for future occurrences should be higher. Table F3 is the analysis scores for the City of Hudson. As seen in Table F3, the top three hazards are Tornado/Windstorm, Thunderstorm/Lightning/Hail and Flash Flood. The tables below identify the scoring criteria utilized by the Committee to evaluate each hazard. Further descriptions are provided in Section 3.

Since the majority of the hazards have an undefined hazard area (i.e., affecting an entire community or larger area) the following vulnerability assessment will only address those hazards that affect a specified area — flooding (river and flash). However, due to the community's historical occurrences of tornados this hazard was added to the assessment. The following discussion only considers the assets in the community of Hudson. Critical Facilities TABLE F4: SHELTERS IN HUDSON ilIM Hudson Community School Community Center Hall Saint Timothy Lutheran Church Community Church Source: Community Identifying the location of critical facilities is important in order to assess their vulnerability to hazards, since these facilities are important to the community's operations, quality of life, and economic sector. These include but are not limited to schools, hospitals, libraries, police and fire stations, water towers, sirens, and lift stations. Map 57 illustrates the locations of these critical facilities throughout Hudson. Table F4 shows the locations identified as shelters in Hudson. While these locations have been identified for use if deemed necessary, there may also be hazard events which require residents to shelter themselves "in place". Therefore, any location could potentially become a makeshift shelter for purposes of disaster response. Homes In Hazardous Areas There are 223 parcels within the floodplain area which include approximately 10 residential units and several streets. Streets include IA Highway 58, Butterfield Road, West Shaulis Road, Watters Road, Hickory Lane, Fifth Street, Dale Road, Waterloo Road (a.k.a. Eldora Road), U.S. Highway 63, and "Private Road" (located approximately midway between Strayer Road and Waters Road, west of Highway 58). See Table F5 and Maps 16 & 17 for specific floodplain information.

According to the 2017 American Community Survey (ACS), there are no mobile homes in Hudson. Finally, persons living in some multi -family units may also be at risk due to the lack of a proper tornado shelter. According to the 2017 American Community Survey, there were an estimated 44 housing units in buildings with at least three units. Therefore, using the 2017 average household size value of 2.94, there are approximately 129 persons living in housing units in buildings with at least three units. Vulnerability — Identifying Social Asset Populations The social vulnerability assessment also identified how the hazards affect the population of Hudson, and it is assumed that the identified populations are more likely to require assistance during times of disaster and are therefore, generally speaking, more at -risk than the remaining population. The at -risk population must be identified and targeted in successful mitigation efforts. According to 2017 ACS Census data, approximately 338 persons are 65 years or older, representing 13.6% of the population. Persons under the age of 18 are also at higher risk during some disasters. This is mostly due to the fact that young people often are not aware of the proper actions to take in the event of a disaster. In addition, very young children would be more susceptible to a disaster such as a disease epidemic simply due to their age. In 2017, approximately 574 persons were under the age of 18, representing 23.2% of the population. As mentioned previously, persons living in mobile homes and persons living in multi -family housing units are also considered at risk. There are no mobile homes in Hudson, and there are approximately 234 persons living in multi -family housing units. Map 39 and Map 40 illustrate the impact of a hypothetical tornado event in Hudson. According to data from the Black Hawk County Assessor's Office, there are a total of 1095 structures in the community with an estimated total value of $225,594,140.

Table F6 lists all of the structure valuations for the City of Hudson. Since 100% of the city is at risk of some kind of hazard event, the entire city is considered to be in the hazard area. This data was used in the Vulnerability discussion in each of the Hazard Profiles in Section 3. This information was made available from the Black Hawk County Assessor's office. It should be noted however that these dollar amounts do not include gas and electric utility valuations. These results should be considered preliminary, as a full accounting of assets has not been completed.

Accordingly, the values listed above should not be regarded as accurate for any purpose. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 433 of 728 266 Future Development Future development within identified hazard areas can change the threat level of an area by placing critical facilities, businesses, transportation networks, utilities, and populations within vulnerable areas. While it can be difficult to curb development in the planning area, it is the jurisdiction's advantage to be aware of development trends in order to successfully mitigation future hazards as risks increase. However, continued conformity with the State Building Codes and local land use ordinances and regulations (zoning, subdivision, floodplain management, etc.) will help to mitigate the effects hazards have on new and future development. Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA defines a repetitive loss property as an insurable building that has experienced no losses in a 10-year period in which each loss is $1,000 or more. According to available FEMA data (as of 09/30/19), the City of Hudson participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and has no repetitive loss properties. Table 45 in Section 3 lists data from each city regarding the National Flood Insurance Program. MITIGATION STRATEGY Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals The hazard mitigation plan goals were reviewed by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee at their second committee meeting. The committee set as a priority the development of broad -based goals that would address a multitude of hazards and encompass a variety of mitigation activities. The updated (non - revised) hazard mitigation plan goals for the City of Hudson are: 1. PROTECT: Protect the health and safety of residents, visitors, staff and emergency personnel during and after hazard events. 2. PREVENT: Prevent avoidable disasters. 3. MINIMIZE: Minimize losses to existing and future structures in hazard areas, especially critical facilities. 4. MAINTAIN: Maintain local services and infrastructure in order to reduce community, economic and environmental disruption during and after hazard events. 5. RESTORE: Return the community to either pre -disaster or improved conditions in a timely manner in the wake of a disaster. 6. EDUCATE: Educate the public about hazards and resources available. 7. ACCOUNTABILITY: Use public funds in an efficient, cost effective and fair manner. 8. COLLABORATE: Incorporate each jurisdiction into the Black Hawk County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Page 434 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 267 Current Mitigation Actions Prevention Mitigation Actions The City of Hudson adopted a new Comprehensive Plan in August 2013. Hudson adopted an official Development Ordinance on December 9t", 1996. The ordinance became effective on January 2"d, 1997. The Development Ordinance (Ordinance Number 512) is an ordinance creating zoning, subdivision and platting, and flood plain management regulations for the purpose of protecting health, welfare, and public safety within the City of Hudson. The zoning portion of this ordinance created ten separate zoning districts for purposes of implementing the Comprehensive Plan, promoting public health and welfare, helping to achieve greater efficiency, and economize land development, among other goals. Although the Development Ordinance defined ten districts, not all ten have been implemented on the landscape of Hudson. The last HMP for Hudson was adopted by City Council on December 13, 2010. At this time the City of Hudson has adopted and enforces the 2006 International Building Code (UBC) for construction projects within city limits. The primary flood research document prepared for the City of Hudson was the July 1979 Flood Insurance Study. This document was prepared under the auspices of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, who, at the time was charged with the oversight of the Federal Insurance Administration. This responsibility has since been transferred to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Flood Insurance Study focused on the one major stream to have a substantial presence in the City of Hudson; Black Hawk Creek. Dewild Grant Reckert and Associates Company was contracted to conduct the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for the study area. Other organizations that had a hand in the development of the study include: the Flood Insurance Administration, the Iowa Natural Resources Council, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, officials of the City of Hudson, and members of the general public. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has also conducted substantive research studies and/or documents relative to Hudson and Black Hawk Creeks in 1968, 1982, and 1992. In addition, several areas of Black Hawk County have recently been studied and/or are currently being restudied in order to provide more detailed and accurate floodplain information. One of these areas includes Black Hawk Creek, within the Hudson city limits. On January 16t", 1980 the City of Hudson became a regular member in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by adopting its initial floodplain ordinance. The Federal Insurance Administration manages the insurance component of the NFIP, and works closely with FEMA's Mitigation Directorate, which oversees the floodplain management aspect of the program. The Floodplain Ordinance is a portion of the City's Development Ordinance (#512, Adopted 1/2/97, Section 3.16). The Zoning Administrator, who is duly appointed by the Mayor and City Council, is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of the floodplain ordinance in addition to his/her other duties. The ordinance also identifies the City Council, the Board of Adjustment, and the Planning and Zoning Commission as bodies to which appeals and variance requests are submitted. In accordance with NFIP guidelines, the ordinance does not allow for new construction within the floodway without first obtaining a development permit. In addition, if a floodplain permit is issued for development in a special flood hazard area the ordinance requires those structures to "be designed or anchored to prevent the flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effect of buoyancy." The areas to which these regulations apply are determined by referencing maps developed in conjunction with the Flood Insurance Study for the City of Hudson. Page 435 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 268 Property Protection Mitigation Actions The City of Hudson has implemented a number of tools that are useful in protecting property in the community. In addition, there have also been some protection measures that have occurred as a result of private development. These measures include the adoption of a floodplain ordinance, the implementation of the zoning ordinance, the elevation of the city's sanitary sewer treatment facility, and the construction of the railroad line. The construction of the railroad is, as previously referenced, the result of private development. When the railroad was constructed, the tracks were elevated in order to ensure that the tracks remained operational during high water events. Therefore, the elevated railroad land acts as a man-made levy, located between the developed portion of Hudson and Black Hawk Creek. Although the railroad no longer sustains an active line through Hudson, the flood protection benefits of the original construction remain. There have been no known property acquisitions or demolitions in the City of Hudson for the purpose of flood hazard mitigation. Public Education and Awareness Mitigation Actions A new statewide reverse 911 system known as Alert Iowa was implemented by implemented by Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management in 2014. Citizens have the ability to "opt in" to receive weather alerts and enter a cell phone, work phone, and other additional alternative phone numbers. Radio, television, cellular telephones, landline telephones, newspapers, warning sirens, NOAA Radio Service and the internet are available to the public at large. The City has developed a website in order to keep its citizens, and other interested parties, aware of local and government affairs. The website address is www.cityofhudsonia.com. Emergency Services Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency The Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency is governed by a board of eleven commissioners comprised of the Mayors from each incorporated jurisdiction in the County or their designated delegate, a representative of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Chairperson of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors. The Emergency Management Agency works in conjunction with local fire, rescue, police, and government officials to draft and implement workable emergency action plans in the community. Furthermore, the agency is responsible for the monthly testing of all outdoor warning sirens in Black Hawk County. Fire Department The Hudson Fire Department takes pride in having a well-equipped station. As of 2018, the City of Hudson had 33 volunteer firefighters. In addition to the Page 436 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 269 standard firefighting responsibilities, the Hudson Fire Department is also a Certified Provisional Paramedic Service. Therefore, volunteers of the department often are called to act in various roles. This increased responsibility is evident in the variety of training a number of the volunteers have taken part in. As of 2018, there were 25 Firefighter-1 certificates, seven Firefighter-2 certificates, nine EMT-B certificates, four EMT-P certificates, one EMT -PS certificates, and one EMT-PS-CCB. The current building which houses the fire department was built in 1998. As of 2018, equipment owned and operated by the fire department includes two engines, three tankers, two ambulances, one command car, one grass rig, and one rescue truck. The information was garnered from the 2001 Hudson Fire Department Annual Report, which was presented to the City of Hudson in late December, 2001. The City of Hudson maintains mutual aid agreements, some by 28E agreement with Dike, Reinbeck, Traer, and all of the departments in Black Hawk County. Of the departments in Black Hawk County, those most likely to provide or be provided mutual aid by the Hudson Fire Department are La Porte City, Gilbertville, Waterloo, and Cedar Falls. Medical Services Although there are no hospitals located within the City of Hudson, Black Hawk County is presently a regional health care center. In addition to numerous private clinics and practicing physicians, Black Hawk County has four major medical facilities, all of which are located in either Waterloo or Cedar Falls. Three of these facilities are considered Regional Hospitals, otherwise referred to as Level II. Mercy One Medical Center and Unity Point Hospital are located in Waterloo. Mercy One Medical Center has a second location in Cedar Falls. Another smaller facility, Peoples Community Health Clinic (Level IV), affiliated with Covenant Medical Center, is located in downtown Waterloo. Distance from Hudson to these facilities ranges from 6.8 miles to 10.2 miles. Police The Hudson Police Department, Black County Sheriff's Department, and the Iowa State Patrol provide police protection in the City of Hudson. As of 2018, the Hudson Police Department (same building as City Hall) employed four full-time officers and two part-time officers. The Police Department has maintained two marked patrol vehicles. One is a 2017 Ford Explorer; the other is a 2017 Ford F150. The Department maintains mutual aid agreements with surrounding local law enforcement agencies and the Iowa State Patrol. Of the local law enforcement agencies, the Hudson Police Department cooperates most regularly with the Black Hawk County Sheriff's department. Hazardous Materials A regional Hazard Materials Team is on hand to assist the community with a Hazard Materials event or catastrophe. The Team is located within a short distance and is operated by Waterloo Fire Rescue Department. The city is also a partner in the Tri-County Drug Task Force. The group works with the City in the event of the discovery of a methamphetamine lab within the community. Page 437 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 270 Snow Removal The NOAA estimates that approximately 70 percent of all deaths attributed to winter storms occur in an automobile. Therefore, the City of Hudson views proper snow and ice removal from roadways to be essential in mitigating negative effects of these events. Snow removal and ice prevention techniques are practiced by city and state employees on the corresponding local and state roadways within the city limits. As of 2018, the city currently employs four full time drivers for snow removal efforts. Equipment used by City personnel for snow and ice removal includes the following: 1995 dump truck, 2002 dump truck, motor grader, end loader, a pickup with blade, and a tractor with attached snow blower. In the event that a driver cannot perform his or her duties, drivers are pulled from other city departments as necessary. In an ideal winter storm scenario it is estimated that all of the city roads can be passable within three hours. Barring extreme winds or mechanical failure it is estimated that roads can be completely cleared in 6-10 hours, depending on the amount and rate of snowfall. The city also assists in the trimming of trees. They will trim trees when they exceed encroach within 15 feet of the roadway and eight feet above the sidewalk. Furthermore, all trees are to be kept trimmed to a distance of ten feet from overhead power lines. This greatly decreases the likelihood of branches falling on pedestrians, power lines, or vehicles during heavy snowfall, ice, or high wind events. Furthermore, the city does clean up fallen branches in the city right of way following any storms. Warning Systems There is one early warning siren in the community. It is a rotating siren with a rechargeable DC backup which was purchased and installed by the City in 2000. The siren is in the Hudson City Park, which is located on Washington Street between First and Second Streets. The siren can be activated locally at the Hudson Fire Department station, while the Consolidated Dispatch Center or the Black Hawk County Emergency Management office can activate it remotely. Remote activation is the most commonly employed method of activation for tornadoes. The siren currently provides adequate warning to the majority of the developed portion of the city, though outlying areas need upgrading. Page 438 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 271 Future Mitigation Actions While the existing mitigation activities discussed above detail the comprehensive efforts to mitigate hazards when possible and to respond to hazards in a timely and efficient manner, the Committee also recognizes that there are many more mitigation activities and projects that would benefit community residents. Thus, the Committee developed a list of future hazard mitigation activities that, if accomplished, would serve to further reduce the risk of hazards to the community. The list may include a combination of projects the Committee feels the community should try to accomplish and mitigation efforts that are ongoing that the Committee view as vital to the continued well-being of the public. S — Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do riot adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A — Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P — Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L — Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E — Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E - Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. The Committee analyzed the potential mitigation activities. This analysis included a discussion of the potential benefits of implementing the activity, some hurdles that the community may face in implementing the action step, and the drawbacks of implementation. The analysis utilized the STAPLEE feasibility criteria. The STAPLEE technique is a FEMA suggested method of evaluation. The STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental. The Committee was asked to discuss the STAPLEE elements (Table F8) and determine each element's ranking (High -H, Medium -M, Low-L) for each identified future mitigation activity. Afterwards, the average priority for each mitigation activity was recorded as the overall priority ranking for that particular future mitigation activity. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 439 of 728 272 Timeline The Committee identified the time period each of the proposed mitigation activity will occur. For instance, if the activity happens regularly (either daily, weekly, monthly, or annually) it was identified as On -Going activity; if it will occur within the next 1-5 years it was identified as Short -Term; if the activity would take 5-10 years to occur it was labeled as Mid -Term; and all activities that would take 10 or more years to occur were identified as Long -Term. Funding Although in the long-term hazard mitigation actions will save money by avoiding the loss of lives or property damages, in the short-term each action will have an associated cost. The city will rely heavily on local funding sources to fulfill most of the plan obligations; however, they will also seek funds from State and Federal agencies for both pre- and post -disaster mitigation activities. The estimated cost(s) for each mitigation action, program, or project is either: Minimal, Low, Moderate, or High depending upon various factors. • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate : Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High : Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. Implementation Strategy Once the Committee identified and ranked the future hazard mitigation activities, the activities were then analyzed. In addition, the Committee identified a time line for each activity, identified the responsible party or parties for each activity, and finally related each activity to at least one of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals listed above. Table F9 below is the City of Hudson's Implementation Strategy.

The elevation of the community is approximately 830 feet above sea level. Wolf Creek, a tributary of the Cedar River, bisects the community from northeast to southwest. In addition to being located on Wolf Creek, La Porte City is located on US Highway 218. The city is bordered in all directions by farmland. Benton County, Iowa is located immediately south of La Porte City. Natural Environment The entire incorporated area of La Porte City lies within the Wolf Creek drainage basin. This drainage basin is a small part of the Middle Cedar Watershed. Trees, shrubs, weeds, and grass are prevalent in the undeveloped portions of the community. In some areas, where development has not occurred there are row crops that are planted in the spring and harvested in the fall. The primary row crops in the city are usually either corn or soybeans. Soils in the La Porte City area are typical of those found in central Iowa. These soils are not known to have any unusual characteristics that would have a substantial impact on flooding in the community. Transportation La Porte City maintains 34 lane miles of paved roadway. Standard maintenance on the streets is the responsibility of the local Public Works Department. Along with US Highway 218, other major roads in La Porte City include Main Street and 8th Street. The Iowa Northern Railroad Company owns the rail line that passes through the northeast portion of the community. Although owned by the Iowa Northern Railroad Company, the tracking rights have been granted to the Union Pacific Railroad Company. The rail line operates between the communities of Cedar Rapids and Manly, Iowa — approximately 120 miles apart. The nearest airport to La Porte City is the Waterloo Regional Airport, 21 miles north-northeast of the city. Of all the incorporated cities in Black Hawk County, La Porte City also happens to be the closest to the Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids, 52 miles southeast of the city. Page 448 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 281 Community Services The water utility in La Porte City is municipally owned. La Porte City residents are currently supplied water through two wells, namely Well #4 and Well #5. Well #4 was drilled in 1972 at 1,400 feet deep with an approximate capacity of 500 gallons per minute (gpm). Well #5 was drilled in 2011 at a depth of 1,400 feet with an approximate capacity of 475 gpm. Wells #1, #2, and #3 are no longer in use and have been abandoned. Well #1 was constructed in 1941 at 257 feet deep and had a capacity of 90 gpm. Well #2 was constructed in 1948 at 250 feet deep and had a capacity of 225 gpm. Well #3 was drilled in 1961 at 280 feet deep and had a capacity of 150 gpm. Water from both Wells #4 and #5 are treated at La Porte City's zeolite softening water treatment plant, which was upgraded in 2013. Water is stored in a 400,000 gallon elevated water storage tank, constructed in 2011. The City's average daily water use is approximately 200,000 gallons per day. The city has 922 water user accounts on the system (825 residential, 90 commercial, 6 municipal, and 1 utility). The sewage treatment facility in La Porte City is engineered to have a design capacity of 554,000 gallons/day. The average daily load is approximated to be 250,000 gallons. While there are a few septic tanks located in the community, it is estimated that 98 percent of the community is served by the municipal sanitary sewer system. The city estimates that there are 962 active sanitary sewer hookups in the community. The City of La Porte City has a power plant that was originally built in 1935 and has had numerous updates since that time. The most recent update included a $1.2 million expenditure. The city purchases electricity from Resale Power Group of Iowa, a group formed of municipalities who purchase their electricity together in order to garner a more competitive rate. Resale Power Group of Iowa is a Mid -American Company Holdings Company. Utility Provider Electric / Water La Porte City Utilities Gas Black Hills Energy Sewer City Telephone/Internet LPC Connect, Mediacom Cable TV LPC Connect, Mediacom, LPC Telephone In addition to providing backup generation services to the City of La Porte City, the municipal power plant is required to provide some energy to the grid, especially during times of peak use.

However, each community analyzed their own vulnerability to those hazards applicable to their jurisdiction. Using the methodology outlined in Section 3 (Vulnerability Assessment), the City of La Porte City evaluated the risk associated with a specific hazard, defined by probability and frequency of occurrence, magnitude, severity, exposures, and consequences. La Porte City's vulnerability assessment provides in-depth knowledge of the hazards and vulnerabilities that affect the community. This analysis provides an all -hazard approach when evaluating the hazards of that affect the city, and the associated risks and impacts each hazard presents. As mentioned previously in Section 3, the vulnerability assessment requires a five-year review with periodic updates, as needed. Potential future hazards and impacts may result from changing technology, new critical facilities, infrastructures, and development patterns, as well as demographic and socioeconomic changes that occur within or outside the area. Disaster frequency and its effects or severity are important as a basis for planning emergency response and mitigation. Natural hazards tend to reoccur on a predictable seasonal basis, whereas manmade or technological events tend to change over time with advancement in technology and methods of operation. Five criteria were used by the Committee to assure a systematic and comprehensive approach to hazard analysis for their individual jurisdictions included: Historical Occurrence, Probability, Magnitude/Severity, Warning Time, and Duration. Due to recent disasters and events that have impacted the planning area, La Porte City determined that even though the historical occurrences were low for certain hazards, the probability ranking for future occurrences should be higher. Table G3 is the analysis scores for the City of La Porte City. As seen in Table G3, the top three hazards are Tornado/Windstorm, Thunderstorm/Lightning/Hail and Flash Flood. The tables below identify the scoring criteria utilized by the Committee to evaluate each hazard. Further descriptions are provided in Section 3.

Since the majority of the hazards have an undefined hazard area (i.e., affecting an entire community or larger area) the following vulnerability assessment will only address those hazards that affect a specified area — flooding (river and flash). However, due to the community's historical occurrences of tornados this hazard was added to the assessment. The following discussion only considers the assets in the community of La Porte City. Critical Facilities TABLE G4: SHELTERS IN LA PORTE CI La Porte City Community Center (50 person capacity) Union School (500 person capacity) (Not officially identified as a shelter) Source: Community Identifying the location of critical facilities is important in order to assess their vulnerability to hazards, since these facilities are important to the community's operations, quality of life, and economic sector. These include but are not limited to schools, hospitals, libraries, police and fire stations, water towers, sirens, and lift stations. Map 60 shows the locations of these critical facilities throughout La Porte City. Table G4 identifies the locations identified as shelters in La Porte City. While these locations have been identified for use if deemed necessary, there may also be hazard events which require residents to shelter themselves "in place". Therefore, any location could potentially become a makeshift shelter for purposes of disaster response. Homes In Hazardous Areas As of 2019 La Porte City had approximately 917 parcels, representing 1,128 acres of identified floodplain within its city limits. This accounts for approximately 67.3 percent of the city's total area. The total value (combined land, building, and dwelling value) of the 940 properties located within the floodplain in La Porte City is $74,439,210. Maps 22 & 23 identify flood plains and flood plain scenarios. See Table G5 for parcels within the floodplain.

According to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, there are an estimated 13 mobile homes in La Porte City. Using the average persons per households of 2.45, there are approximately 32 persons living in mobile homes in La Porte City. Finally, persons living in some multi -family units may also be at risk due to the lack of a proper tornado shelter. According to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, there were an estimated 136 housing units in buildings with at least three units. Therefore, there are approximately 333 persons living in multi -family housing units at risk during a tornado event. Vulnerability — Identifying Social Asset Populations The social vulnerability assessment also identified how the hazards affect the population of La Porte City, and it is assumed that the identified populations are more likely to require assistance during times of disaster and are therefore, generally speaking, more at -risk than the remaining population. The at -risk population must be identified and targeted in successful mitigation efforts. According to 2017 U.S. Census data, approximately 436 residents of La Porte City are 65 years or older, representing 17.4% of the population. Persons under the age of 18 are also at higher risk during some disasters. This is mostly due to the fact that young people often are not aware of the proper actions to take in the event of a disaster. In addition, very young children would be more susceptible to a disaster such as a disease epidemic simply due to their age. In 2017, approximately 675 residents of La Porte City were under the age of 18, representing 27.0% of the population. As mentioned previously, persons living in mobile homes and persons living in multi -family housing units are also considered at risk. There are approximately 32 persons living in mobile homes and 333 persons living in multi -family housing units in La Porte City. Map 45 and Map 46 illustrate the impact of a hypothetical tornado event in La Porte City. According to data from the Black Hawk County Assessor's Office, there are a total of 1,065 structures in the community with a total value of $132,014,900.

Table G7 lists all of the structure valuations for the City of La Porte City. Since 100% of the city is at risk of some kind of hazard event, the entire city is considered to be in the hazard area. This data was used in the Vulnerability discussion in each of the Hazard Profiles in Section 3. This information was made available from the Black Hawk County Assessor's office. These results should be considered preliminary, as a full accounting of assets has not been completed. : ASSET INVENTOR — BUILDING /D • - • - Class Land Value Building Value Dwelling Value MR Land Building Count Agricultural 1,230,500 184,570 745,320 0 7 Cities 628,860 2,251,690 70,780 0 19 Commercial/Dual Class 1,400,582 10,794,056 371,124 53,498 131 County 86,890 163,940 0 0 2 Multi -residential 0 0 719,860 50,710 8 Religious/Non-Profit 294,330 2,774,620 624,930 0 13 Residential 16,102,290 0 89,024,580 0 878 Schools 543,450 3,721,990 0 0 4 State 37,890 0 0 0 0 Utilities 48,120 90,320 0 0 3 Totals $20,372,912 $19,981,186 $91,556,594 $104,208 1,065 Source: Black Hawk County Assessor 2019 Values *- Please note that the assessed value for tax-exempt structures may not adequately reflect their fair market rate value, which may be significantly higher than the assessed value. Accordingly, the values listed above should not be regarded as accurate for any purpose. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 456 of 728 289 Future Development Future development within identified hazard areas can change the threat level of an area by placing critical facilities, businesses, transportation networks, utilities, and populations within vulnerable areas. While it can be difficult to curb development in the planning area, it is the jurisdiction's advantage to be aware of development trends in order to successfully mitigation future hazards as risks increase. However, continued conformity with the State Building Codes and local land use ordinances and regulations (zoning, subdivision, floodplain management, etc.) will help to mitigate the effects hazards have on new and future development. Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA defines a repetitive loss property as an insurable building that has experienced no losses in a 10-year period in which each loss is $1,000 or more. According to available FEMA data (as of 5/31/09), La Porte City participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and has 15 repetitive loss properties. Table 45 in Section 3 lists data from each city regarding the National Flood Insurance Program. MITIGATION STRATEGY Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals The hazard mitigation plan goals were reviewed by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee at their second committee meeting. The committee set as a priority the development of broad -based goals that would address a multitude of hazards and encompass a variety of mitigation activities. The updated (non - revised) hazard mitigation plan goals for the City of La Porte City are: 1. PROTECT: Protect the health and safety of residents, visitors, staff and emergency personnel during and after hazard events. 2. PREVENT: Prevent avoidable disasters. 3. MINIMIZE: Minimize losses to existing and future structures in hazard areas, especially critical facilities. 4. MAINTAIN: Maintain local services and infrastructure in order to reduce community, economic and environmental disruption during and after hazard events. 5. RESTORE: Return the community to either pre -disaster or improved conditions in a timely manner in the wake of a disaster. 6. EDUCATE: Educate the public about hazards and resources available. 7. ACCOUNTABILITY: Use public funds in an efficient, cost effective and fair manner. 8. COLLABORATE: Incorporate each jurisdiction into the Black Hawk County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Page 457 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 290 Current Mitigation Actions Prevention Mitigation Actions The community adopted a land use plan update in 1993 prior to establishing a Zoning Ordinance. The original plan was drafted in the late 1960's and an update was completed in 1975. In the plan, it stresses the importance of not developing in the identified floodplain and includes a floodplain map. The Zoning Ordinance was introduced to the community in the 1980's and was updated in 1996. Floodplain control has been a key element that the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Zoning Administrator have had to deal with over the past decade. The Zoning Code recognizes Residential, Multi -Unit Residential, Commercial, Manufacturing, Agricultural and Unclassified areas. Unclassified areas are predominately no -build floodplain areas. The City of La Porte City currently has a Code of Ordinances that includes a Development Ordinance. The Development Ordinance incorporates both zoning and sub -division regulations for the community. Building codes are considered to be a very beneficial mitigating effort for a number of the hazards identified in this plan. By having and enforcing building codes, the community reduces the risk of fire, damage from high wind events, damage from earthquake, damage from heavy snow loads, and reduces the amount of energy necessary to heat and cool a structure in addition to many other examples. The City of La Porte City has adopted and enforces the following building codes: the 2017 National Electric Code, the 2015 International Building Code, and the 2015 International Residential Code. Property Protection Mitigation Actions The City of La Porte City has implemented a variety of property protection projects. Elevations of critical facilities, such as the wastewater treatment facility have been undertaken. Flash flooding has on occasion caused damage in the community; therefore, the City has installed a substantial amount of storm sewer infrastructure throughout the community. After La Porte City was flooded again in May -June 2008, the city submitted an application for buyout program funding from FEMA. An application to buyout 13 properties was approved by FEMA in May 2009. The city received buyout funding from FEMA totaling $1,165,326.00. The city has since completed the buyout mitigation program by acquiring 11 properties altogether. One of the most important documents pertaining to the flood hazards in the City La Porte City became official in July 1980. It was a Flood Insurance Study conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Flood Insurance Study was a preliminary requirement necessary for initial participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. As a result of the completion of the flood study an official FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) was issued to the city. In addition to the Flood Insurance Study, there have been a number of documents that have been prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as well as Brice, Petrides, & Associates which studied either the Cedar River and/or Wolf Creek. Page 458 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 291 Public Education and Awareness Mitigation Actions A new statewide reverse 911 system known as Alert Iowa was implemented by implemented by Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management in 2014. Citizens have the ability to "opt in" to receive weather alerts and enter a cell phone, work phone, and other additional alternative phone numbers. Radio, television, cellular telephones, landline telephones, newspapers, warning sirens, NOAA Radio Service and the Internet are available to the public at large. The City has developed a website in order to keep its citizens, and other interested parties, aware of local and government affairs. The website address is www.Ipcia.com. Emergency Services Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency The Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency is governed by a board of eleven commissioners comprised of the Mayors from each incorporated jurisdiction in the County or their designated delegate, a representative of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Chairperson of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors. The Emergency Management Agency works in conjunction with local fire, rescue, police, and government officials to draft and implement workable emergency action plans in the community. Furthermore, the agency is responsible for the monthly testing of all outdoor warning sirens in Black Hawk County. Fire Department La Porte City currently maintains a volunteer fire department, comprised of firefighters, EMTs and paramedics. As of 2019, the Department was comprised of 29 volunteers. The primary services provided by the department include fire protection, EMS transport, and rescue services. The primary response area of the department is approximately 110 square miles, an area which has a population of about 5,500 people. The department currently holds mutual aid agreements with all departments in Black Hawk County and Jesup, Mt. Auburn, Garrison, Dysart, Gilbertville, and Brandon. Major equipment currently owned by the department includes the following: two pumpers, two tankers, one grass/brush truck, two ambulances, one rescue truck, gator, grain bin rescue equipment, one boat and dry suits for water rescue. Also, the department maintains 30 sets of bunker gear, a Jaws of Life rescue extrication tool, and other miscellaneous rescue equipment. Ideas for improved service and identified needs of the department include installing dry hydrants in the outlying primary response area to mitigate a potential loss of City water supply, consider having paid personnel sometime in the future, and acquiring additional technical rescue equipment. In order to implement these ideas the department will require funding for training, equipment, and volunteer incentives. Medical Services Although there are no hospitals located within La Porte City, Black Hawk County is presently home to a regional health care center. In addition to numerous Page 459 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 292 private clinics and practicing physicians, Black Hawk County has four major medical facilities, all of which are located in either Waterloo or Cedar Falls. Three of these facilities are considered Regional Hospitals, otherwise referred to as Level II. Mercy One Medical Center and Unity Point Hospital are located in Waterloo. Mercy One Medical Center has a second location in Cedar Falls. Another smaller facility, Peoples Community Health Clinic (Level IV), affiliated with Covenant Medical Center, is located in downtown Waterloo. La Porte City has a full volunteer ambulance service which serves the city and surrounding townships, as part of the city's Fire Rescue Department. The department has two ambulance vehicles. Police 24-hour police protection is provided by the La Porte City Police Department which employs 4 Police Officers. In addition, back up is provided by the Black Hawk County Sherriff's Department and the Iowa State Patrol. Hazardous Materials A regional Hazard Materials Team is on hand to assist the community with a Hazard Materials event or catastrophe. The Team is located within a short distance and is operated by Waterloo Fire Rescue Department. The city is also a partner in the Tri-County Drug Task Force. The group works with the City in the event of the discovery of a methamphetamine lab within the community. Snow Removal The NOAA estimates that approximately 70 percent of all deaths attributed to severe winter storms occur in an automobile. Therefore, the City of La Porte City views proper snow and ice removal from roadways to be essential in mitigating negative effects of these events. Snow removal and ice prevention techniques are practiced by city and state employees on the corresponding local and state roadways within the city limits. Warning Systems In the event of a tornado, there are three warning sirens strategically located throughout the community. Two of these sirens are administered by Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency, which are tested on a monthly basis. The third siren, administered locally by the La Porte City Fire Rescue Department, is manually operated and does not have a battery backup. Page 460 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 293 Future Mitigation Actions While the existing mitigation activities discussed above detail the comprehensive efforts to mitigate hazards when possible and to respond to hazards in a timely and efficient manner, the Committee also recognizes that there are many more mitigation activities and projects that would benefit community residents. Thus, the Committee developed a list of future hazard mitigation activities that, if accomplished, would serve to further reduce the risk of hazards to the community. The list may include a combination of projects the Committee feels the community should try to accomplish and mitigation efforts that are ongoing that the Committee view as vital to the continued well-being of the public. S — Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do not adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A — Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P — Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L — Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E — Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E - Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. The Committee analyzed the potential mitigation activities. This analysis included a discussion of the potential benefits of implementing the activity, some hurdles that the community may face in implementing the action step, and the drawbacks of implementation. The analysis utilized the STAPLEE feasibility criteria. The STAPLEE technique is a FEMA suggested method of evaluation. The STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental. The Committee was asked to discuss the STAPLEE elements (Table G8) and determine each element's ranking (High -H, Medium -M, Low-L) for each identified future mitigation activity. Afterwards, the average priority for each mitigation activity was recorded as the overall priority ranking for that particular future mitigation activity. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 461 of 728 294 Timeline The Committee identified the time period each of the proposed mitigation activity will occur. For instance, if the activity happens regularly (either daily, weekly, monthly, or annually) it was identified as On -Going activity; if it will occur within the next 1-5 years it was identified as Short -Term; if the activity would take 5-10 years to occur it was labeled as Mid -Term; and all activities that would take 10 or more years to occur were identified as Long -Term. Funding Although in the long-term hazard mitigation actions will save money by avoiding the loss of lives or property damages, in the short-term each action will have an associated cost. The city will rely heavily on local funding sources to fulfill most of the plan obligations; however, they will also seek funds from State and Federal agencies for both pre- and post -disaster mitigation activities. The estimated cost(s) for each mitigation action, program, or project is either: Minimal, Low, Moderate, or High depending upon various factors. • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate : Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High : Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. Implementation Strategy Once the Committee identified and ranked the future hazard mitigation activities, the activities were then analyzed. In addition, the Committee identified a time line for each activity, identified the responsible party or parties for each activity, and finally related each activity to at least one of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals listed above. Table G8 below is La Porte City's Implementation Strategy.

The elevation of the community is approximately 909 feet above sea level. Poyner Creek, a tributary of the Cedar River, cuts through the southeastern corner of the city and runs from northeast to southwest. The main roads in Raymond are State Highway 297/S 3rd Street, Plaza Drive/Lafayette Road, and Dubuque Road. Interstate 380/US Highway 20 is also very accessible to the city. The interchange at Exit 68 in Evansdale is less than one mile southwest of the Raymond city boundary. Motorists must pass through Elk Run Heights for a half - mile on Plaza Drive before continuing into Evansdale and onto Interstate 380/US Highway 20. The City of Raymond is bordered to the West by Elk Run Heights and in all other directions by farmland. BMC Aggregates LC operates a quarry approximately one mile east-southeast from the city. Natural Environment Originally, the land surrounding and including Raymond was covered with deciduous forest; this vegetation is now predominant only along the banks and flood plains of watercourses. The original cover has been reduced to make room for additional cropland and construction of houses and businesses in suitable areas. Tree cover can also be found throughout the community in residential areas, and parks. These remaining trees contribute to the aesthetics of the community and are viewed as an asset. According to the Black Hawk County Soil Survey conducted in 1995 by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service, the majority of soils in Raymond are of the Finchford Series. The Finchford Series "consists of nearly level to moderately sloping, excessively drained soils on high alluvial terraces and adjacent escarpments. These soils have very low available water capacity and very rapid permeability". Slopes range from 0-2 percent. Some of the soils in Raymond may be subject to flooding. It should be noted that much of Black Hawk County, including Raymond, contains valuable agricultural soils that are capable of sustaining development. Further, if the city is to experience development, it is anticipated that some of these valuable soils will be lost. Transportation As mentioned, the major transportation route affecting the City of Raymond is Interstate 380/US Highway 20. The major rail line in Raymond is the Canadian National Railway Company rail line that runs just south of the city. This railroad operates 6,400 miles of track in the United States, with 558 miles located in Iowa. Trains running on the track occasionally carry chemicals and other farm products that could cause a hazard if spilled or leaked into the environment. The Waterloo Regional Airport, located approximately 15 miles from Raymond, is the closest airport to the city. Bus service is available for some populations through the Waterloo Metropolitan Transit Authority Paratransit service. Page 469 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 302 The City of Raymond is not currently connected to the metropolitan area's trail network. Only roads connect Raymond to the trail network. The closest access point to the trail network is in Evansdale, approximately three miles west. Community Services Raymond does not have its own water system. Instead, the City relies on the City of Waterloo, i.e. Waterloo Waterworks, for water service and the City of Elk Run Heights for wastewater treatment. Wastewater is transported to the facility with the assistance of three waste water lift stations. Table H1 lists the utility providers in the city. Demographics Table H2 provides a summary of Raymond's demographics.

However, each community analyzed their own vulnerability to those hazards applicable to their jurisdiction. Using the methodology outlined in Section 3 (Vulnerability Assessment), the City of Raymond evaluated the risk associated with a specific hazard, defined by probability and frequency of occurrence, magnitude, severity, exposures, and consequences. The City of Raymond's vulnerability assessment provides in-depth knowledge of the hazards and vulnerabilities that affect the community. This analysis provides an all -hazard approach when evaluating the hazards of that affect the city, and the associated risks and impacts each hazard presents. As mentioned previously in Section 3, the vulnerability assessment requires a five-year review with periodic updates, as needed. Potential future hazards and impacts may result from changing technology, new critical facilities, infrastructures, and development patterns, as well as demographic and socioeconomic changes that occur within or outside the area. Disaster frequency and its effects or severity are important as a basis for planning emergency response and mitigation. Natural hazards tend to reoccur on a predictable seasonal basis, whereas manmade or technological events tend to change over time with advancement in technology and methods of operation. Five criteria were used by the Committee to assure a systematic and comprehensive approach to hazard analysis for their individual jurisdictions included: Historical Occurrence, Probability, Magnitude/Severity, Warning Time, and Duration. Due to recent disasters and events that have impacted the planning area, the City determined that even though the historical occurrences were low for certain hazards, the probability ranking for future occurrences should be higher. Table H3 is the analysis scores for the City of Raymond. As seen in Table H3, the top three natural hazards are Severe Winter Storms, Tornado/Windstorms, and Transportation Incidents. The tables below identify the scoring criteria utilized by the Committee to evaluate each hazard. Further descriptions are provided in Section 3. Page 472 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 305 PRO:±: Y ■ ■ - Score Description 1 Unlikely Less than 10% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 10 chance of occurring), history of events is less than 10% likely or the event is unlikely but there is a possibility of its occurrence. 2 Occasional Between 10% and 20% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 5 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 10% but less than 20% or the event could possibly occur. 3 Likely Between 20% and 33% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 3 chance of occurring), history of events if greater than 20% but less than 33% or the event is likely to occur. 4 Highly Likely More than 33% probability in any given year (event has up to a 1 in 1 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 33% likely or the event is highly likely to occur. Rating Description 1 Negligible Less than 10% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for less than 24 hours, and/or injuries/illnesses treatable with first aid 2 Limited 10% to 25% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and service for more than a week, and/or injuries/illnesses that do not result in permanent disability. 3 Critical 25% to 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for at least two weeks, and/or injuries/illnesses that result in permanent disability. 4 Catastrophic More than 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for more than 30 days, and/or multiple deaths.

Since the majority of the hazards have an undefined hazard area (i.e., affecting an entire community or larger area) the following vulnerability assessment will only address those hazards that affect a specified area — flooding (river and flash). However, due to the community's historical occurrences of tornados this hazard was added to the assessment. The following discussion only considers the assets in the community of Raymond. Critical Facilities TABLE H4: SHELTERS IN RAYMOND None identified Source: Community Identifying the location of critical facilities is important in order to assess their vulnerability to hazards, since these facilities are important to the community's operations, quality of life, and economic sector. These include but are not limited to schools, hospitals, libraries, police and fire stations, water towers, sirens, and lift stations. Map 61 shows the locations of these critical facilities throughout Raymond. Currently, there are no structures identified for use as a shelter in Raymond. During a tornado event, residents are advised to seek shelter in a pre -designated shelter, such as a basement, or the lowest floor of a sturdy nearby building as soon as possible. Homes In Hazardous Areas The City of Raymond is not affected by flooding. According to FEMA's flood insurance rate map, there are no houses in the 100-year floodplain in Raymond. According to the National Flood Insurance Program's flood loss statistics, the City of Raymond had only two flood loss claims between 1978 and 2009.

According to the 2013-2017 ACS, there are no mobile homes in Raymond. Persons living in some multi -family housing units may be at risk, due to the lack of a proper tornado shelter. In 2017, there were an estimated 12 housing units in buildings with three or more units. Using the average household size of 2.52, there are approximately 30 persons living in multi -family housing units who may be at a greater risk during a tornado event. Vulnerability — Identifying Social Asset Populations The social vulnerability assessment identified how the hazards affect the population of Raymond, and it is assumed that the identified populations are more likely to require assistance during times of disaster and are therefore, more at -risk than the remaining population. The at -risk population must be identified and targeted in successful mitigation efforts. According to 2017 ACS Census data, approximately 106 persons in the City of Raymond are 65 years or older, representing approximately 13.9% of the population. Persons under the age of 18 are also at higher risk during some disasters. This is mostly due to the fact that young people often are not aware of the proper actions to take in the event of a disaster. In addition, very young children would be more susceptible to a disaster such as a disease epidemic simply due to their age. In 2017, approximately 214 persons in the City of Raymond were under 18 years of age, representing approximately 28.1% of the population. As mentioned previously, persons living in mobile homes and persons living in multi -family housing units are also considered at risk. There are approximately zero persons living in mobile homes and 30 persons living in multi -family housing units in Raymond. Map 47 and Map 48 illustrate the impact of a hypothetical tornado event in Raymond. According to data from the Black Hawk County Assessor's Office, there are a total of 343 structures in the community with a total value of $58,520,320 Table H6 illustrates the degree of impact that hypothetical tornado scenarios of various strengths would have on Raymond.

Table H7 lists all of the structure valuations for the City of Raymond. Since 100% of the city is at risk of some kind of hazard event, the entire city is considered to be in the hazard area. This data was used in the Vulnerability discussion in each of the Hazard Profiles in Section 3. This information was made available from the Black Hawk County Assessor's office. It should be noted however that these dollar amounts do not include gas and electric utility valuations. These results should be considered preliminary, as a full accounting of assets has not been completed. - - H7: ASSET INVENTORY — BUILDING /DWE ING VALUES IN RAYMOND Class Land Value Building Value Dwelling Value MR Land Building Count Agricultural 858,960 6,720 760,310 0 8 Cities 309,410 125,330 0 0 5 Commercial/Dual Class 306,763 1,149,263 38,637 18,647 20 County 32,700 0 0 0 0 Multi -residential 0 0 67,710 14,210 2 Religious/Non-Profit 154,930 324,780 0 0 2 Residential 7,727,520 0 46,624,430 0 306 Total $9,390,283 $1,606,093 $47,491,087 $32,857 343 Source: Black Hawk County Assessor 2019 Values *- Please note that the assessed value for tax-exempt structures may not adequately reflect their fair market rate value, which may be significantly higher than the assessed value. Accordingly, the values listed above should not be regarded as accurate for any purpose. Future Development Future development within identified hazard areas can change the threat level of an area by placing critical facilities, businesses, transportation networks, utilities, and populations within vulnerable areas. While it can be difficult to curb development in the planning area, it is the jurisdiction's advantage to be aware of development trends in order to successfully mitigation future hazards as risks increase. However, continued conformity with the State Building Codes and 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 477 of 728 310 local land use ordinances and regulations (zoning, subdivision, floodplain management, etc.) will help to mitigate the effects hazards have on new and future development. Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA defines a repetitive loss property as an insurable building that has experienced no losses in a 10-year period in which each loss is $1,000 or more. According to available FEMA data (as of 09/30/19), the City of Raymond participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and has no repetitive loss properties. Table 45 in Section 3 lists data from each city regarding the National Flood Insurance Program. MITIGATION STRATEGY Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals The hazard mitigation plan goals were reviewed by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee at their second committee meeting. The committee set as a priority the development of broad -based goals that would address a multitude of hazards and encompass a variety of mitigation activities. The updated (non - revised) hazard mitigation plan goals for the City of Raymond are: 1. PROTECT: Protect the health and safety of residents, visitors, staff and emergency personnel during and after hazard events. 2. PREVENT: Prevent avoidable disasters. 3. MINIMIZE: Minimize losses to existing and future structures in hazard areas, especially critical facilities. 4. MAINTAIN: Maintain local services and infrastructure in order to reduce community, economic and environmental disruption during and after hazard events. 5. RESTORE: Return the community to either pre -disaster or improved conditions in a timely manner in the wake of a disaster. 6. EDUCATE: Educate the public about hazards and resources available. 7. ACCOUNTABILITY: Use public funds in an efficient, cost effective and fair manner. 8. COLLABORATE: Incorporate each jurisdiction into the Black Hawk County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Current Mitigation Actions Prevention Mitigation Actions On July 11, 1978 the City of Raymond became active members in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by adopting its initial floodplain ordinance. The Federal Insurance Administration manages the insurance component of the NFIP, and works closely with FEMA's Mitigation Directorate, which oversees the floodplain management aspect of the program. Page 478 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 311 The Floodplain Ordinance is a portion of the city's Zoning Ordinance. The ordinance requires that all development within the special flood hazard areas outlined in the National Flood Insurance Rate Map shall: (a.) "be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage."; (b.) "use construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage"; (c) "Use construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage"; and (d.) " Obtain all necessary permits from Federal, State and local governmental agencies including approval when required from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources". There have been no known property acquisitions or demolitions in the City of Raymond for the purpose of flood hazard mitigation. The City also has a building permit process. Any new structure or remodel/repair work completed over a $1,000 value, requires a permit. This includes electrical, building, plumbing, and heating. Property Protection Mitigation Actions As stated in the last section, the city has a zoning ordinance as well as a building permit process. Public Education and Awareness Mitigation Actions A new statewide reverse 911 system known as Alert Iowa was implemented by implemented by Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management in 2014. Citizens have the ability to "opt in" to receive weather alerts and enter a cell phone, work phone, and other additional alternative phone numbers. Radio, television, cellular telephones, landline telephones, newspapers, warning sirens, NOAA Radio Service and the internet are available to the public at large. The City has developed a website in order to keep its citizens, and other interested parties, aware of local and government affairs. The website address is www.raymondia.us. Page 479 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 312 Emergency Services Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency The Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency is governed by a board of eleven commissioners comprised of the Mayors from each incorporated jurisdiction in the County or their designated delegate, a representative of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Chairperson of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors. The Emergency Management Agency works in conjunction with local fire, rescue, police, and government officials to draft and implement workable emergency action plans in the community. Furthermore, the agency is responsible for the monthly testing of all outdoor warning sirens in Black Hawk County. Fire Department Fire and rescue services are provided by volunteers including firefighters, EMTs and paramedics. As of 2014, the Raymond Volunteer Fire Department had 25 members who provide fire protection to the residents of Raymond and the surrounding area. Members meet once per month for training and business matters. As of 2009, the department had three trucks, one trailer, and two pick-up trucks. Medical Services There are no hospitals located in Raymond. The City is served by the four major medical facilities in Black Hawk County. Three of these facilities are considered Regional Hospitals, otherwise referred to as Level II. Mercy One Medical Center and Unity Point Health are located in Waterloo. Mercy One Hospital is located in Cedar Falls. Another smaller facility, Peoples Community Health Clinic (Level IV), is located in downtown Waterloo. Police The City of Raymond has one full time officer. The City is within the jurisdiction of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Office as well as the Iowa State Patrol. Hazardous Materials A regional Hazard Materials Team is on hand to assist the community with a Hazard Materials event or catastrophe. The Team is located within a short distance and is operated by Waterloo Fire Rescue Department. The city is also a partner in the Tri-County Drug Task Force. Page 480 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 313 Snow Removal The NOAA estimates that approximately 70 percent of all deaths attributed to winter storms occur in an automobile. Therefore, the City of Raymond views proper snow and ice removal from roadways to be essential in mitigating negative effects of these events. The City of Raymond has approximately 11 miles of roads within the city limits. The City contracts for snow removal services for all 11 miles in the winter and the streets are cleaned once a year during the spring. Other maintenance is performed as needed. Warning Systems The City of Raymond has an outdoor warning siren. The Fire Department and City Council are currently looking at various funding sources to replace the existing siren. Page 481 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 314 Future Mitigation Actions While the existing mitigation activities discussed above detail the comprehensive efforts to mitigate hazards when possible and to respond to hazards in a timely and efficient manner, the Committee also recognizes that there are many more mitigation activities and projects that would benefit community residents. Thus, the Committee developed a list of future hazard mitigation activities that, if accomplished, would serve to further reduce the risk of hazards to the community. The list may include a combination of projects the Committee feels the community should try to accomplish and mitigation efforts that are ongoing that the Committee view as vital to the continued well-being of the public. S — Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do not adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A — Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P — Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L — Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E — Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E - Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. The Committee analyzed the potential mitigation activities. This analysis included a discussion of the potential benefits of implementing the activity, some hurdles that the community may face in implementing the action step, and the drawbacks of implementation. The analysis utilized the STAPLEE feasibility criteria. The STAPLEE technique is a FEMA suggested method of evaluation. The STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental. The Committee was asked to discuss the STAPLEE elements (Table H8) and determine each element's ranking (High -H, Medium -M, Low-L) for each identified future mitigation activity. Afterwards, the average priority for each mitigation activity was recorded as the overall priority ranking for that particular future mitigation activity. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 482 of 728 315 Timeline The Committee identified the time period each of the proposed mitigation activity will occur. For instance, if the activity happens regularly (either daily, weekly, monthly, or annually) it was identified as On -Going activity; if it will occur within the next 1-5 years it was identified as Short -Term; if the activity would take 5-10 years to occur it was labeled as Mid -Term; and all activities that would take 10 or more years to occur were identified as Long -Term. Funding Although in the long-term hazard mitigation actions will save money by avoiding the loss of lives or property damages, in the short-term each action will have an associated cost. The city will rely heavily on local funding sources to fulfill most of the plan obligations; however, they will also seek funds from State and Federal agencies for both pre- and post -disaster mitigation activities. The estimated cost(s) for each mitigation action, program, or project is either: Minimal, Low, Moderate, or High depending upon various factors. • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate : Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High : Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. Implementation Strategy Once the Committee identified and ranked the future hazard mitigation activities, the activities were then analyzed. In addition, the Committee identified a time line for each activity, identified the responsible party or parties for each activity, and finally related each activity to at least one of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals listed above. Table H8 below is the City of Raymond's Implementation Strategy.

The exact center point of Black Hawk County is near the Waste Management facility (3505 Easton Ave) where solid waste, recycling, and storm water is processed. The elevation of the community is approximately 883 feet above sea level. The Cedar River runs northwest to southeast and splits the city into two segments, commonly referred to as East Waterloo and West Waterloo. In addition to being located on the Cedar River, the City of Waterloo is located on Interstate 380, US Highway 20 (Iowa State Highway 27), US Highway 63, US Highway 218, Iowa State Highway 21 (Hawkeye Road), and University Avenue. The city is bordered to the north and northeast by unincorporated farmland, to the east mostly by farmland but also the City of Evansdale, to the southeast and south by more unincorporated farmland, to the southwest by the City of Hudson, and to the west by the City of Cedar Falls. Natural Environment The Cedar River is the main body of water in the City of Waterloo. In addition to the Cedar River, there are a number of creeks, small streams, and drainage ways throughout the community that have historically had flood occurrences. Several of these drain primarily rural areas. According to the 1985 Waterloo Flood Insurance Study these streams include Crossroads Creek, Prescotts Creek, Sink Creek, and unnamed streams referred to as 13, 36, 37, and 39. Other streams, including Dry Run Creek Blowers Creek, Maywood Branch, City View Branch, Black Hawk Creek, and Virden Creek have mostly urban drainage basins. The drainage areas for these streams are smaller than for the Cedar River, thus making them more susceptible to flash flooding caused by localized heavy rainfall events. The City of Waterloo is located in the Middle Cedar Watershed. This watershed is but a segment of the larger Cedar River Watershed, which eventually acts as a tributary to the Iowa River. At the Waterloo river gauge, it is estimated that the drainage area for the watershed is 5,146 square miles. Also measuring from this gauge, the distance from the mouth of the Cedar River is approximately 200 miles. The soil types that exist within the city of Waterloo are primarily classified as the Kenyon -Clyde -Floyd, Sparta -Olin -Dickinson, and Loamy Alluvial Land Associations. One soil factor that is used as a standardized measure of agricultural value is Corn Suitability Rating (CSR). Incidentally, CSR is an evaluative scoring system where ratings range between 5 and 100 that classify soils by their ability to support corn production. After reviewing the county soil survey, the CSR of the primary soils within the city range from 63 to 95, which are valuable for agricultural purposes. Page 488 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 321 Transportation Over the past couple decades, much of the city's street transportation system has been improved, thanks in large part to the Interstate Substitution program and the local option sales tax. The Avenue of the Saints, which includes parts of Interstate 380 along with Highways 218 and 58, was developed northward through the Waterloo -Cedar Falls metropolitan area to the City of Waverly and beyond. Together, with the direct access to Interstate 380 and U.S. Highways 20, 63, and 218, the City of Waterloo enjoys access to several multi -lane highway facilities that form the backbone of the metropolitan area's transportation network. In addition, the city has made major investments to automate and synchronize traffic signalization throughout the community. The Waterloo Municipal Airport is located on Airport Boulevard, near the northern edge of the Waterloo -Cedar Falls metropolitan area. The Waterloo Regional Airport (ALO) is a non -hub, primary commercial service airport serving Waterloo -Cedar Falls and a ten -county market area and has a Metropolitan Service Area (MSA) population of 162,435. American Airlines provides daily round-trip service to Chicago for connecting flights to over 700 cities worldwide. Waterloo Regional Airport has an Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and General Aviation (GA) facilities, including hangar rentals and a full -service Fixed Base Operator (FBO), Livingston Aviation. In addition, the Army National Guard has assigned helicopter and fixed -wing aircraft using the Airport to support its flight operations. An Airport Advisory Board consisting of seven members who are appointed by the Mayor of Waterloo and approved by the Waterloo City Council oversees the Waterloo Regional Airport. The Airport Board works closely with Airport Administration and recommends policies and actions to the City Council. The Airport has approximately 110 based aircraft and 25,000 annual aircraft operations. There are currently three railroads operating in the Waterloo -Cedar Falls metropolitan area: The Union Pacific, Canadian National, and Iowa Northern. The Rail Division of the U.S. Department of Transportation, formerly the Interstate Commerce Commission, has classified the three carriers in the following ways. Note that the carriers are classified by the annual amount of operating revenues they generate. The Union Pacific is a Class I railroad that operates over 32,012 miles of rail nationwide. The Canadian National Railroad is a Class I railroad that operates 641 miles of track in Iowa. The Iowa Northern Railway Company is a Class III railroad operating 147 miles of rail in Iowa. As may be the case with many rail operators in Iowa, the above carriers depend on the transport of bulk commodities such as grain, coal, chemicals, fertilizer, stone, and some food products for their well-being. However, we note that these rail carriers also transport intermediate and finished manufactured products, such as those for John Deere and Company. The Cedar River bisects the city from northwest to southeast. Currently, the river is shallow and is subdivided by dams and spillways throughout the region. As a result of the intensive upstream agricultural practices and damming, the river has experienced silting that threatens the ecological life and navigability of river. The river is not capable of supporting any commercial or industrial barge traffic; therefore the vast majority of transportation to occur on the river is recreational. Efforts have recently made by the city, in cooperation with the Army Corps of Engineers to determine what options the city has, and how feasible it would be to improve the navigability of the river. Collectively, along with the Cities of Cedar Falls, Evansdale, and Hudson, the Waterloo metropolitan area has over 100 miles of paved trails. Page 489 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 322 Community Services The Waterloo Water Works is located at 325 Sycamore Street in downtown Waterloo. Water is provided to residents through a series of wells and three water towers, which are located on Linden Avenue, Kimball Avenue, and University Avenue. Statistically, the city's water system has the ability to provide 50,400,000 gallons per day to its residents. In comparison to the city's capacity, the latest available figure on average daily water consumption is 13,000,000 gallons and a peak daily use of 28,800,000 gallons, which indicates that the city has a significant level of unused capacity to meet future demand. The Water Works serviced 24,997 meters and pumped 4,671,723,000 total gallons of water during the 2009 calendar year. The City of Waterloo manages wastewater though the Easton Avenue Water Pollution Control Facility and a Satellite Treatment Facility. The city renovated and updated the sewer treatment plant extensively over the past decade, spending several million dollars on improvements. The plant was originally constructed in 1939. Under normal operations and conditions, the facility treats an average daily load of 14.0 million gallons per day (MGD). Under these same conditions, the design capacity of the service is 36.5 MGD. Utility Provider Electric Mid -American Energy Gas Mid -American Energy Water/Sewer Waterloo Waterworks (City) Telephone/Internet CenturyLink, Mediacom Cable TV Mediacom The sanitary sewer collection system includes over 800 miles of sanitary and storm sewers including force mains, 7,000 manholes, 25 sanitary lift stations and 21 storm sewer lift stations. The City of Waterloo sanitary sewer system provides service to an estimated population of 70,000 residents.

However, each community analyzed their own vulnerability to those hazards applicable to their jurisdiction. Using the methodology outlined in Section 3 (Vulnerability Assessment), the City of Waterloo evaluated the risk associated with a specific hazard, defined by probability and frequency of occurrence, magnitude, severity, exposures, and consequences. The City of Waterloo's vulnerability assessment provides in-depth knowledge of the hazards and vulnerabilities that affect the community. This analysis provides an all -hazard approach when evaluating the hazards of that affect the city, and the associated risks and impacts each hazard presents. As mentioned previously in Section 3, the vulnerability assessment requires a five-year review with periodic updates, as needed. Potential future hazards and impacts may result from changing technology, new critical facilities, infrastructures, and development patterns, as well as demographic and socioeconomic changes that occur within or outside the area. Disaster frequency and its effects or severity are important as a basis for planning emergency response and mitigation. Natural hazards tend to reoccur on a predictable seasonal basis, whereas manmade or technological events tend to change over time with advancement in technology and methods of operation. Five criteria were used by the Committee to assure a systematic and comprehensive approach to hazard analysis for their individual jurisdictions included: Historical Occurrence, Probability, Magnitude/Severity, Warning Time, and Duration. Due to recent disasters and events that have impacted the planning area, the City determined that even though the historical occurrences were low for certain hazards, the probability ranking for future occurrences should be higher. Table 13 is the analysis scores for the City of Waterloo. As seen in Table 13, the top two hazards are Flash Floods, Tornados/Windstorms, and Thunderstorms/Lightning/Hail. The City of Waterloo had additional hazards identified earlier in the 2015 Plan (Watershed Health and Violent/Riot Demonstrations) which were found to still be relevant for the 2020 Plan. The tables below identify the scoring criteria utilized by the Committee to evaluate each hazard. Further descriptions are provided in Section 3. Page 492 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 325 PRO:±: Y Score Description 1 Unlikely Less than 10% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 10 chance of occurring), history of events is less than 10% likely or the event is unlikely but there is a possibility of its occurrence. 2 Occasional Between 10% and 20% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 5 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 10% but less than 20% or the event could possibly occur. 3 Likely Between 20% and 33% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 3 chance of occurring), history of events if greater than 20% but less than 33% or the event is likely to occur. 4 Highly Likely More than 33% probability in any given year (event has up to a 1 in 1 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 33% likely or the event is highly likely to occur.

Since the majority of the hazards have an undefined hazard area (i.e., affecting an entire community or larger area) the following vulnerability assessment will only address those hazards that affect a specified area — flooding (river and flash). However, due to the community's historical occurrences of tornados this hazard was added to the assessment. The following discussion only considers the assets in the community of Waterloo. Critical Facilities Identifying the location of critical facilities is important in order to assess their vulnerability to hazards, since these facilities are important to the community's operations, quality of life, and economic sector. These include but are not limited to schools, hospitals, libraries, police and fire stations, water towers, sirens, and lift stations. Map 62 illustrates the locations of critical sites throughout Waterloo.

While these locations have been identified for use if deemed necessary, there may also be hazard events which require residents to shelter themselves "in place". Therefore, any location could potentially become a makeshift shelter for purposes of disaster response. Homes In Hazardous Areas The City of Waterloo has 8,943 parcels, representing 12,606 acres of land, located in the floodplain (100 and 500 year). This accounts for approximately 31 percent of the total area encompassed by the city, with property valued at $1,102,395,110. Table 15, below identifies the number, type, and value of floodplain parcels within the city limits. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 495 of 728 328 TABLE 15: FLOODPLAIN PARCELS THIN WATERLOO # of Parcels Total Land Value Total Building Value Total Dwelling Value Multi- Residential Land Total Value Percent of City Damaged City Floodway Property Values 1096 $47,159,480 $187,793,740 $17,948,430 $2,226,280 $255,127,930 6.35% City 1% Annual Chance Floodplain Property Values 1485 $53,632,704 $86,475,972 $60,357,278 $799,246 $201,265,200 5.01% City 1% Annual Chance Protected by Levee 6127 $83,523,314 $292,483,538 $190,270,262 $749,186 $567,026,300 14.11% City 0.2% Annual Chance Floodplain Property Values 235 $21,126,440 $48,525,330 $9,323,910 $0 $78,975,680 1.97% Source: Flood overlay shows the 2011 floodplain designations in Black Hawk County, Iowa. The dig'tal flood layer was obtained from FEMA's current Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map. The incorporated boundaries were current as of 5/5/19. According to 2010 Census data, the average household size in Waterloo is 2.35 people. An estimated 2,221 of the 2,852 structures in the floodplain are residential. This means an estimated 5,219 people currently reside within the floodplain in Waterloo. People living in mobile homes are at greater risk of a variety of hazard events. According to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey, there are an estimated 1,172 mobile homes in Waterloo. Using the average household size of 2.35, it can be assumed that there are approximately 2,754 persons living in mobile homes. People living in multi -family buildings may also be at a greater risk during a tornado event. According to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey, there are an estimated 6,384 housing units in multi -family buildings with three or more units. Using the average household size of 2.35, it can be assumed that there are approximately 15,002 people living in multi -family buildings with three or more units in Waterloo. Vulnerability — Identifying Social Asset Populations The social vulnerability assessment also identified how the hazards affect the population of Waterloo, and it is assumed that the identified populations are more likely to require assistance during times of disaster and are therefore, generally speaking, more at -risk than the remaining population. The at -risk population must be identified and targeted in successful mitigation efforts. According to 2017 ACS data, 15.3% of 68,146 residents, or approximately 10,437 persons, are 65 years or older. Persons under the age of 18 are also at higher risk during some disasters. This is mostly due to the fact that young people often are not aware of the proper actions to take in the event of a disaster. In addition, very young children would be more susceptible to a disaster such as a disease epidemic simply due to their age. In 2017, 23.6% of 68,146 residents, or Page 496 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 329 16,083 persons, were under the age of 18. As mentioned previously, persons living in mobile homes and persons living in multi -family housing units are also considered at risk. There are approximately 2,164 persons living in mobile homes and 15,000 persons living in multi -family housing units in Waterloo. Map 49 and Map 50 illustrate the impact of a hypothetical tornado event in Waterloo. According to data from the Black Hawk County Assessor's Office, there are a total of 29,352 structures in the community with a total value of $4,582,828,350 (including land value).

Table 16 lists all of the structure valuations for the City of Waterloo. Since 100% of the city is at risk of some kind of hazard event, the entire city is considered to be in the hazard area. This data was used in the Vulnerability discussion in each of the Hazard Profiles in Section 3. This information was made available from the Black Hawk County Assessor's office. It should be noted however that these dollar amounts do not include gas and electric utility valuations. These results should be considered preliminary, as a full accounting of assets has not been completed. afe1:]1sA_E•'i•9�1I�V/��Ii.]: Land Value 'a=il111']I�[HI�1�J1�111�[H%1�u1 Building Value Dwelling Value •'1I�IWfu1�:1(sIs MR Land Building Count Class Agricultural 17,620,560 1,147,050 7,835,300 0 69 Cities 37,223,960 49,400,310 666,770 40,150 154 Commercial/Dual Class 198,259,186 740,049,191 8,311,789 668,544 1,921 County 1,698,190 22,200,230 500,330 0 15 Federal 205,550 825,000 0 0 2 Industrial 20,532,420 173,085,690 0 0 193 Multi -residential 0 0 66,064,930 13,263,610 349 Religious/Non-Profit 29,765,102 295,953,801 38,728,759 1,034,248 376 Residential 399,086,270 0 2,293,081,610 0 26,213 Schools 7,318,550 92,217,690 0 0 27 State 11,449,340 50,511,260 0 0 30 U N I 0 1,179,440 0 0 1 Utilities 2,784,090 119,430 0 0 2 Total $725,943,218 $1,426,689,092 $2,415,189,488 $15,006,552 29,352 Source: Black Hawk County Assessor 2019 Values *- Please note that the assessed value for tax-exempt structures may not adequately reflect their fair market rate value, which may be significantly higher than the assessed value. Accordingly, the values listed above should not be regarded as accurate for any purpose. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 498 of 728 331 Future Development Future development within identified hazard areas can change the threat level of an area by placing critical facilities, businesses, transportation networks, utilities, and populations within vulnerable areas. While it can be difficult to curb development in the planning area, it is the jurisdiction's advantage to be aware of development trends in order to successfully mitigation future hazards as risks increase. However, continued conformity with the State Building Codes and local land use ordinances and regulations (zoning, subdivision, floodplain management, etc.) will help to mitigate the effects hazards have on new and future development. Repetitive Loss Properties FEMA defines a repetitive loss property as an insurable building that has experienced no losses in a 10-year period in which each loss is $1,000 or more. According to available FEMA data (as of 5/31/09), the City of Waterloo participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and has 14 repetitive loss properties. Table 45 in Section 3 lists data from each city regarding the National Flood Insurance Program. MITIGATION STRATEGY Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals The hazard mitigation plan goals were reviewed by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee at their second committee meeting. The committee set as a priority the development of broad -based goals that would address a multitude of hazards and encompass a variety of mitigation activities. The updated (non - revised) hazard mitigation plan goals for the City of Waterloo are: 1. PROTECT: Protect the health and safety of residents, visitors, staff and emergency personnel during and after hazard events. 2. PREVENT: Prevent avoidable disasters. 3. MINIMIZE: Minimize losses to existing and future structures in hazard areas, especially critical facilities. 4. MAINTAIN: Maintain local services and infrastructure in order to reduce community, economic and environmental disruption during and after hazard events. 5. RESTORE: Return the community to either pre -disaster or improved conditions in a timely manner in the wake of a disaster. 6. EDUCATE: Educate the public about hazards and resources available. 7. ACCOUNTABILITY: Use public funds in an efficient, cost effective and fair manner. 8. COLLABORATE: Incorporate each jurisdiction into the Black Hawk County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Page 499 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 332 Current Mitigation Actions Prevention Mitigation Actions The City of Waterloo currently has and enforces a Zoning Ordinance, a Subdivision Ordinance, and a Floodplain Ordinance. These three ordinances in particular are tools that are integral to hazard mitigation and the city continually monitors these ordinances for possible updating and consistency with other city plans and governmental regulations. Building codes are considered to be a very beneficial mitigating effort for a number of the hazards identified in this plan. By having and enforcing building codes, the community reduces the risk of fire, damage from high wind events, damage from earthquake, damage from heavy snow loads, and reduces the amount of energy necessary to heat and cool a structure in addition to many other examples. The City of Waterloo has adopted and enforces the following building codes: 2017 National Electric Code, 2015 International Building Code, 2015 International Fire Code, 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code, 2015 Uniform Mechanical Code, 2015 International Existing Building Code, and 2012 Energy Code. Property Protection Mitigation Actions The City of Waterloo constructed seven new storm water lift stations, and rebuilt one as result of the 2008 flood recovery efforts. The Iowa Department of Transportation recently added one new, and rehabilitated another storm water lift station for the Highway 63 corridor as part of that corridor redevelopment. The City of Waterloo has a long history of making efforts to protect the community from hazards. One of the most recognizable efforts is the Waterloo Flood Protection System, which was constructed as a direct result of the Flood Control Act of 1965. The system protects Waterloo against flooding from the Cedar River, Black Hawk Creek, Virden Creek, and Blowers Creek. The flood control system consists of 18.2 miles of earthen levees and 1.9 miles of concrete floodwalls along the Cedar River and Black Hawk Creek. Within the levees and floodwalls are 103 sewer gatewells and 53 closure structures. The system also includes an earthen levee on Virden Creek and 25 lift stations at various locations in the city. The system is designed to withstand a flood that has a one percent probability of occurring in any given year. A flood of this magnitude is commonly called a 100-year flood. In April 1993, Waterloo experienced a flood with a 20.5-foot crest. Then in June 2008 the river crested at 25.39 feet, at 500-year flood levels. This flood was the highest since the levees were constructed and proved the system's effectiveness in preventing flood damage. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the city have a large investment in this system. To date, the Corps has contributed $43 million and the city has invested $22 million to build the system. Construction on the system began in August 1972, and the last work was completed along Blowers Creek in December 1991. Maintenance of the levee system is a cooperative effort between various city departments. The Engineering Department works with Water Pollution/ Flood Control, Park, Street and Traffic Operations Departments to keep the levee system in good condition. Maintenance is an extensive and continual job, which involves mowing levees, controlling tree growth, repairing pumps and structures and many other operations. In addition to maintenance, the city periodically holds training sessions to ensure that the system will function properly during flood events (Source: Waterloo Engineering Department). Page 500 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 333 The city filed a buyout application with FEMA after the extensive June 2008 flooding. The west side of downtown was flooded, but no commercial or industrial properties were acquired with buyout funds. The City did acquire some flooded buildings for redevelopment with local funds. The aforementioned stormwater lift stations should work to protect the redeveloped areas. One of the most important documents pertaining to the flood hazards in the City Waterloo became official in January 1985. It was a Flood Insurance Study conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Flood Insurance Study was a preliminary requirement necessary for initial participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. The scope of the study was the entire incorporated area of the City of Waterloo, Black Hawk County, IA. The study identified through the use of hydrologic analyses the peak discharge -frequency relationships for each of the 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year flood event. As a result of the completion of the flood study an official FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) was issued to the city. It is this map, which is actually a series of maps that the City uses to administer and regulate their local Flood Plain Ordinance. In addition to the Flood Insurance Study there have been a number of documents that have been prepared by a variety of agencies which studied either the Cedar River and/or other tributaries in Black Hawk County that pose a potential flood risk to the City of Waterloo. In addition, other flood studies completed by Black & Veatch Special Project Corporation, Kansas City Division and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District have been conducted in Black Hawk County for purposes of updating existing Flood Hazard Boundary Maps and Flood Insurance Rate Maps throughout the County. In 2011, the City adopted the new FIRMs issued by FEMA. In the wake of the June 2008 floods, researchers at the University of Iowa who had collected and analyzed data during the flooding, were assembled to form the Iowa Flood Center (IFC) in April 2009 when the state legislature approved funding for their continuing research. Based in Iowa City, IA on the University of Iowa campus, the central issue for the researchers of the IFC that led to their eventual formation was that there was no formal research center dedicated to advanced flood analysis and studies in the entire country. The IFC is now actively engaged in research studies for several Iowa communities, producing hydrologic flood models and flood forecasting. The purpose and responsibilities of the IFC are defined in Iowa Code Section 466C.1. The City of Waterloo has and enforces a Floodplain Ordinance. Staff of Waterloo Community Planning and Development Office enforces the ordinance. In accordance with NFIP guidelines, the ordinance does not allow for new construction within the floodway. In addition, it requires those structures within the floodway fringe to: (a.) "be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure"; (b.) "use construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage" and; (c) "use construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage." The Federal Insurance Administration manages the insurance component of the NFIP, and works closely with FEMA's Mitigation Directorate, which oversees the floodplain management aspect of the program. Waterloo remains in good standing with the National Flood Insurance Program. Page 501 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 334 Public Education and Awareness Mitigation Actions Until just recently, residents of the City of Waterloo could opt to receive emergency notifications in the event of an impending hazard event. This service was available through CodeRED until July 2012, and then through Everbridge Alerts until May 2014. A new statewide reverse 911 system, Alert Iowa, is currently operating. Radio, television, cellular telephones, landline telephones, newspapers, warning sirens, NOAA Radio Service and the Internet are available to the public at large. The City has developed a website in order to keep its citizens, and other interested parties, aware of local and government affairs. The website address is www.cityofwaterlooiowa.com. Emergency Services Mitigation Actions Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency The Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency is governed by a board of eleven commissioners comprised of the Mayors from each incorporated jurisdiction in the County or their designated delegate, a representative of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Chairperson of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors. The Emergency Management Agency works in conjunction with local fire, rescue, police, and government officials to draft and implement workable emergency action plans in the community. Furthermore, the agency is responsible for the monthly testing of all outdoor warning sirens in Black Hawk County. Fire Department Waterloo Fire Rescue provides professional emergency response to the citizens of Waterloo. Some of the services provided include fire suppression, extrication, carbon monoxide detection, water rescue, ice rescue, confined space rescue, trench rescue, and rope rescue. These services are accomplished with 21 front line units ranging from airport crash fire rescue to aerial ladders, to ambulances and rescue boats staffed by an average of 34 firefighters per shift at six different fire stations. The Housing Inspection Division, a division of Code Enforcement, is responsible for Housing Code enforcement on Waterloo's residential properties. The purpose of this code is to protect the health, safety and welfare of the occupants. Systematic inspections are made on all rental properties and on a complaint basis for all residential properties. Vacant, dilapidated housing is inspected and ordered to be repaired or demolished depending on the condition of the dwelling. Waterloo Fire Rescue personnel board up properties that are standing open and present a nuisance or hazard. The inspections made by the Housing Inspection Division of Waterloo Fire Rescue require the maintenance and improvement of the City's existing housing to protect values and maintain the appearance and stability of the Community and neighborhoods within the Community. Page 502 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 335 The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) division of department maintains a fleet of ACLS ambulances and AED's on all pumper trucks to provide the citizens of Waterloo and surrounding areas advanced emergency care. Waterloo Fire Rescue ambulances make over 5,000 EMS calls per year as well as responding to over 4,000 fire calls. In addition to emergency response, Waterloo Fire Rescue Community Services Division plays an important role in implementing education programs throughout the community. Examples of these efforts include the following: • Fire P.A.L.S. - A school -based injury prevention program. • A Bicycle Safety Education and Injury Prevention Program • Falls, Fire & Pharmacy — A Senior home safety program. • Child Safety Seat Fitting Stations • Youth Firesetter Intervention Program • Safe Haven Program Medical Services The City of Waterloo is fortunate to have two Regional Hospitals, as categorized by the level of trauma care that they are capable of providing. Only nine hospitals in the State of Iowa are assigned that designation. Unity Point Hospital is a 200+ bed hospital located on the north side of Waterloo. Well known for their proficiency at heart care, Unity Point surgeons perform close to 300 open-heart surgeries each year. Mercy One Medical Center is a 366 bed, full -service, multi -specialty hospital that provides acute, subacute, and outpatient health care. A full complement of facilities and services are available to support the community's health care needs, including intensive care, operating and recovery rooms for both inpatient and ambulatory surgery, emergency helicopter transportation, a Hospice unit to provide acute care to the terminally ill, skilled nursing, diagnostic radiology services such as X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, CT scanning, and mammography, laboratory, respiratory therapy, electrocardiology, and pharmacy. AirCare Emergency Transport, a service of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, is an emergency air medical program in Iowa, that provides emergency medical care to the people of Iowa and surrounding states. It recently relocated to the Waterloo Regional Airport for continued emergency air services to serve the City of Waterloo and surrounding communities. Page 503 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 336 Police Police protection is provided by the Waterloo Police Department. The Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, and the Iowa State Patrol provide additional law enforcement for the City of Waterloo. Currently, there are approximately 116 sworn police officers and ten full-time civilian employees serving throughout the Police Department. The police department also maintains an additional force of approximately 17 Reserve Police Officers. The Police Department was created as an executive branch of the City Government by way of City Ordinance. The department is organized into the following departments: administration, patrol division, and investigations division. The Chief of Police oversees these divisions and answers to the Mayor, City Council and the Citizens of Waterloo. The police headquarters is located in Waterloo City Hall. Hazardous Materials A regional Hazard Materials Team is on hand to assist the community with a Hazard Materials event or catastrophe. The Team is located within a short distance and is operated by Waterloo Fire Rescue Department. The city is also a partner in the Tri-County Drug Task Force. The group works with the City in the event of the discovery of a methamphetamine lab within the community. Snow Removal The NOAA estimates that approximately 70 percent of all deaths attributed to winter storms occur in an automobile. Therefore, the City of Waterloo views proper snow and ice removal from roadways to be essential in mitigating negative effects of these events. Snow removal and ice prevention techniques are practiced by city and state employees on the corresponding local and state roadways within the city limits. Warning Systems In the event of a tornado the City of Waterloo has an extensive network of outdoor warning sirens that, given enough time, allow people to search for suitable shelter. Currently, there are twenty outdoor warning sirens strategically located throughout the community. On duty police officers and a network of volunteer storm spotters are activated when conditions are favorable for severe weather. In the event that a tornado is spotted, a designated official of the Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency is then responsible for sounding all of the sirens in the County. Needed improvements, additions, and upgrades have been identified for the system. Many of the sirens do not have battery backup and would fail to operate if there were a power outage. Black Hawk County Emergency Management Agency tests the sirens on a monthly basis. Page 504 of 728 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 337 Future Mitigation Actions While the existing mitigation activities discussed above detail the comprehensive efforts to mitigate hazards when possible and to respond to hazards in a timely and efficient manner, the Committee also recognizes that there are many more mitigation activities and projects that would benefit community residents. Thus, the Committee developed a list of future hazard mitigation activities that, if accomplished, would serve to further reduce the risk of hazards to the community. The list may include a combination of projects the Committee feels the community should try to accomplish and mitigation efforts that are ongoing that the Committee view as vital to the continued well-being of the public. S —Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do not adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A - Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L - Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. The Committee analyzed the potential mitigation activities. This analysis included a discussion of the potential benefits of implementing the activity, some hurdles that the community may face in implementing the action step, and the drawbacks of implementation. The analysis utilized the STAPLEE feasibility criteria. The STAPLEE technique is a FEMA suggested method of evaluation. The STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental. The Committee was asked to discuss the STAPLEE elements (Table 18) and determine each element's ranking (High -H, Medium -M, Low-L) for each identified future mitigation activity. Afterwards, the average priority for each mitigation activity was recorded as the overall priority ranking for that particular future mitigation activity. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Page 505 of 728 338 Timeline The Committee identified the time period each of the proposed mitigation activity will occur. For instance, if the activity happens regularly (either daily, weekly, monthly, or annually) it was identified as On -Going activity; if it will occur within the next 1-5 years it was identified as Short -Term; if the activity would take 5-10 years to occur it was labeled as Mid -Term; and all activities that would take 10 or more years to occur were identified as Long -Term. Funding Although in the long-term hazard mitigation actions will save money by avoiding the loss of lives or property damages, in the short-term each action will have an associated cost. The city will rely heavily on local funding sources to fulfill most of the plan obligations; however, they will also seek funds from State and Federal agencies for both pre- and post -disaster mitigation activities. The estimated cost(s) for each mitigation action, program, or project is either: Minimal, Low, Moderate, or High depending upon various factors. • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate : Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High : Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. Implementation Strategy Once the Committee identified and ranked the future hazard mitigation activities, the activities were then analyzed. In addition, the Committee identified a time line for each activity, identified the responsible party or parties for each activity, and finally related each activity to at least one of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals listed above. Table 19 below is the City of Waterloo's Implementation Strategy.

The plan must describe the status of hazard mitigation actions in the previous plan by identifying those that have been completed or not completed. For actions that have not been completed, the updated plan needs to indicate the current status. Uncompleted action steps must either describe whether the action is no longer relevant or be included as part of the updating action plan. This evaluation demonstrates the progress made in the past five years in achieving goals and implementing action outlined in mitigation strategies. Below is some sample language to describe existing action steps. As necessary, include a few brief sentences for action step updates. ■ Active (When / How often) ■ Active, Repetitive (how often) Example Status Updates ■ To be implemented as needed (under what circumstances) ■ Not completed (actions taken, % done, holdup) ■ Last updated (Date) ■ Last maintenance (Date) ■ Completed (Date) ■ Completed, will be continued ■ Dropped (Why) STATUS UPDATES MUST A BRIEF DESCRIPTION (1-2 SENTENCES) OF WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED OR WHY THE ACTION WAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 48 49 of 728 From: mmehmen bhciaema.com To: Lisa Ahern Subject: Attendance List for BHC Commission mtg Date: Monday, October 7, 2019 2:27:31 PM Attachments: image001.pnq image003.pnq image004.pnq Hello Lisa, the following is the attendance record for the Commission Mtg of 9/19/2019 Vick, Gary City of Raymond Checked in 1iersma, Chrissi City of Hudson Checked in Dolt Jason Raymond FD Off Sene Bostwick, John Cedar Falls Fire Rescue Off Sene Sci-r000n, Brian rNRCOG Off Sene Ahern, Lisa INRCOG Off Sene Neil, David.

The scoring criterion has also changed. The new list of hazards is in the table below. The Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan identified twenty hazards in three categories. This includes fourteen natural hazards, five technological hazards, and one human caused hazard. 2015 Iowa Hazard List Natural Technological Animal/Plant/Crop Disease HAZMAT Incident Drought Infrastructure Failure Earthquake Levee/Dam Failure Expansive Soils Radiological Incident Extreme Heat Transportation Incident Flash Flood Grass/Wild land Fire Human Caused Human Disease Terrorism Landslide River Flooding Severe Winter Storm Sinkholes Thunderstorm/Lighting/Hail Tornado/Windstorm In order to properly assess current mitigation strategies, develop new future mitigation strategies, and identify needed mitigation projects, the Committee needs to determine the hazards that impact their community. It is important to note that the focus of mitigation is on reducing long-term risks of damage or threats to public health and safety caused by hazards and their effects. Thus, in some cases the hazards identified for mitigation will not include all of, or the same hazards, identified for preparedness, response or recovery. Also, not all hazards will impact all the participating communities or will in different magnitude. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 4 $55 of 728 Hazard Risk Assessment Summary for: Hazards Probability Magnitude/Severity Warning Time Duration Natural Hazards -- -- -- -- Animal/Plant/Crop Disease Drought Earthquake Expansive Soils Extreme Heat Flash Flood Grass/Wild land Fire Human Disease Landslide River Flooding Severe Winter Storm Sinkholes Thunderstorm/Lighting/Hail Tornado/Windstorm Technological Hazards -- -- -- -- HAZMAT Incident Infrastructure Failure Levee/Dam Failure Radiological Incident Transportation Incident Human Caused Hazards -- -- -- -- Terrorism Completed by: Please complete the scores for Probability, Magnitude/Severity, Warning Time, and Duration based on the numeric criteria provided above. The weights in the assessment formula will be factored in later to generate the final risk assessment score. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 4 956 of 728 HAZARD RISK ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY The risk assessment identifies how people, properties, and structures would be damaged by one of the listed hazard events. If the hazard can harm people or damage their homes and other structures, they are vulnerable. Finding the weak points in the system, for example, identifying building types that are vulnerable to damage and anticipating the loss in high risk areas, will help the community decide what mitigation measure should be undertaken and how to implement the activities they select. The Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee will use the following factors in determining the hazard risk assessment. The Planning Committee needs to consider the following each identified hazard: • Probability • Magnitude / Severity • Warning Time • Duration The scores for each of the factors will be weighted using the formula below to develop the final hazard assessment score. (Probability x.45) + (Magnitude/Severity x .30) + (Warning Time x .15) + (Duration x .10) = Final Hazard Assessment Score Probability The probability score reflects the likelihood of the hazard occurring again in the future, considering both the hazard's historical occurrence and the projected likelihood of the hazard occurring in any given year. Many times the historical occurrence can be extrapolated into the future using best available data, but others, due to the nature of the hazard are more difficult to estimate the probability of future occurrence. If a hazard or its impacts have been mitigated against, the probability of future occurrences decreases. Conversely, hazards that have not occurred in the past may present themselves to the community in the future. PROBABILITY Score Description 1 Unlikely Less than 10% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 10 chance of occurring), history of events is less than 10% likely or the event is unlikely but there is a possibility of its occurrence. 2 Occasional Between 10% and 20% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 5 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 10% but less than 20% or the event could possibly occur. 3 Likely Between 20% and 33% probability in any given year (up to 1 in 3 chance of occurring), history of events if greater than 20% but less than 33% or the event is likely to occur. 4 Highly Likely More than 33% probability in any given year (event has up to a 1 in 1 chance of occurring), history of events is greater than 33% likely or the event is highly likely to occur. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 4 057 of 728 Magnitude / Severity The magnitude of the impact of a hazard event (past and perceived) is related directly to the extent that hazards affect the State and is measured using technical measures specific to the hazard. This is also a function of when the event occurs (year-round, seasonal), the location affected (both geographically and non - geographically determined), the resilience of the community, and the effectiveness of the emergency response and disaster recovery efforts. MAGNITUDE / SEVERITY Score Description 1 Negligible Less than 10% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for less than 24 hours, and/or injuries/illnesses treatable with first aid 2 Limited 10% to 25% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and service for more than a week, and/or injuries/illnesses that do not result in permanent disability. 3 Critical 25% to 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for at least two weeks, and/or injuries/illnesses that result in permanent disability. 4 Catastrophic More than 50% of property severely damaged, shutdown of facilities and services for more than 30 days, and/or multiple deaths. Warning Time The speed of onset is the amount of warning time available before the hazard occurs. This should be taken as an average warning time. For many of the atmospheric natural hazards there is a considerable amount of warning time as opposed to the human caused accidental hazards that occur instantaneously or without any significant warning time. WARNING TIME Score Description 1 More than 24 hours warning time. 2 12 to 24 hours warning time. 3 6 to 12 hours warning time 4 Minimal or no warning time (up to 6 hours warning) Duration This consists of the typical amount of time that the jurisdiction is impacted by the hazard. As an example, a snowstorm will likely last several hours, whereas a lightning strike would last less than a second. DURATION Score Description 1 Less than 6 hours 2 Less than 1 day 3 Less than 1 week 4 More than 1 week 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 49 58 of 728 REVIEW & UPDATE FUTURE MITIGATION ACTIVITIES During our prior meeting, each community updated the status of their mitigation activities from the 2015 Plan. Please review your future mitigation activities. Identify if you will "keep or drop" the activity. Add new activities as needed. Estimated Cost • Minimal: Cost estimate is $10,000 or less based on using current staff, time commitment, continuous of current duties, proposed action/program/ project, and funding sources. • Low: Cost estimate for project range from $10,001 - $99,999 based on existing proposed treatment, time commitment, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.). • Moderate: Cost estimate for project range from $100,000 - $299,999 based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, and project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. • High: Cost estimate for project range is $300,000 or higher based on existing conditions, time commitment, proposed action/ program/project, any further study that is needed, and level of engineering, project components (permits, acquisition, coordination, etc.), and funding sources. Timeline Under this column indicate the time period the proposed mitigation activity will occur. • On -Going • Short -Term — within the next 1-5 Years • Mid -Term — within the next 5-10 years • Long -Term — within the next 10+Years Priority Rank the communities priority of the proposed mitigation activity. This can be based off a variety of factors • High • Medium • Low Agencies Responsible: Identify the agencies responsible for implementation. With the potential benefits of implementing the activity there will be some hurdles that the community may face in implementing the action step, and the drawbacks that make effect the priority. Below, is a copy of the STAPLEE criteria, a suggested FEMA suggested method to consider in evaluation. This tool can be used to help assess the priority, if needed. The STAPLEE approach assesses both positive and negative impacts on the following aspects: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental (see definitions below). 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 49 59 of 728 STAPLEE ELEMENTS S—Social • • • Mitigation actions are acceptable to the community if they do not adversely affect a particular segment of the populations, Actions do not cause relocation of lower income people, Actions are compatible with the community's social and cultural values. T- Technical • Mitigation actions are technically most effective if they provide long-term reduction of losses and have minimal secondary adverse impacts. A — Administrative • Mitigation actions are easier to implement if the jurisdiction has the necessary staffing and funding. P — Political • Mitigation actions can truly be successful if all stakeholders have been offered an opportunity to participate in the planning process and if there is public support for the action. L— Legal • It is critical that the jurisdiction or implementing agency have the legal authority to implement and enforce a mitigation action. E — Economic • Budget constraints can significantly deter the implementation of mitigation actions. Hence, it is important to evaluate whether an action is cost-effective, as determined by a cost benefit review, and possible to fund. E Environmental • • Sustainable mitigation actions that do not have an adverse effect on the environment, that comply with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations, Are consistent with the community's environmental goals, have mitigation benefits while being environmentally sound. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 49 60 of 728 Hazard Definitions The following hazards are those identified in the statewide 2015 Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan. The hazards are divided into three types: Natural, Technological, and Human Caused. The specific hazards for each type are listed alphabetically. Natural Hazards Animal/Plant/Crop Disease Disease is any impairment of normal physiological function affecting all or part of an organism, esp. a specific pathological change caused by infection, stress, etc., producing characteristic symptoms; illness or sickness in general (Collins). Also it is any medical, health, or sanitation threat to plants, wildlife, domestic animals. For purposes of this discussion the topic will be contained to only communicable diseases and will largely with generalities. Communicable diseases can have devastating effects on a health of the population of a community, the health of wild and domestic animals, and on the wide variety of plant life that is present in and around the community. Some of these diseases are considered to be a greater risk to the community than others. Some diseases that affect livestock may include (but not limited to) West Nile Virus, Equine Infectious Anemia, Johne's Disease, Foot Rot, Coccidiosis, Pinkeye, Anaplasmosis, Anthrax, Bluetongue, Brucellosis, Trichomoniasis, Tuberculosis, Pseudorabies, Brucellosis, Porcine Reproductive Respiratory Syndrome, Brucella ovis, Ovine Progressive Pneumonia, Scrapie, Micoplasma, Newcastle, Vesicular Stomatitis, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), Exotic Newcastle Disease and Rabit calicivirus disease. Some common plant diseases include Emerald Ash Borer, cedar -apple and related rusts, anthracnose, oak wilt, Verticillium wilt, ash decline, Sphaeropsis blight of pine, Rhizosphaera of spruce, Cytospora of spruce, black knot of plum, and environmental or abiotic disease, and Dutch Elm disease among others. Drought Drought is defined as a period of prolonged abnormally low precipitation producing severe dry conditions. There are four (4) types of drought conditions relevant to Iowa: Meteorological drought, which refers to precipitation deficiency; Hydrological drought, which refers to declining surface and groundwater supplies; Agricultural drought, which refers to soil moisture deficiencies; and socioeconomic drought, which refers to when physical water shortages begin to affect people. The highest occurrences of drought conditions with recorded events in Iowa are associated with agricultural and meteorological drought as a result of either low soil moisture or a decline in recorded precipitation. Droughts can be spotty or widespread and last from a few weeks to a period of years. A prolonged drought can have a serious impact on a community's water supply and economy. Increased demand for water and electricity may result in shortages of resources. Moreover, food shortages may occur if agricultural production is damaged or destroyed by a loss of crops or livestock. While droughts are generally associated with extreme heat, droughts can and do occur during cooler months. According the National Climatic Data Center, there have been three recorded drought events with impact on areas within Black Hawk County from August 2001 to August 2015. Recorded drought dates include: August 2001, August 2003, and July -October 2012. Earthquake An earthquake is any shaking or vibration of the earth caused by the sudden release of energy that may impose a direct threat on life and property. It is a sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the earth's surface. This shaking can cause buildings and bridges to collapse; disrupt gas, electric, and phone service; it sometimes triggers landslides, flash floods, and fires. The three (3) general classes of earthquakes are, tectonic, volcanic, and artificially produced. Iowa as a whole has experienced the effects of only a few earthquakes in the past 175 years. The epicenters of 12 earthquakes have been located in the state. The first known occurrence was in 1867 near Sidney in southwest Iowa; the most recent occurrence was in 2004 near Shenandoah in southwest Iowa. The largest Iowa earthquake (Mercalli magnitude VI) occurred near Davenport in southeast Iowa in 1934. None of these events were instrumentally recorded. Expansive Soils Expansive soils are soils and soft rock that tend to swell or shrink excessively due to changes in moisture content. The effects of expansive soils are most prevalent in regions of moderate to high precipitation, where prolonged periods of drought are followed by long periods of rainfall. The hazard occurs in many parts of the Southern Central, and Western United States. However, because the 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 4 461 of 728 hazard develops gradually and seldom presents a threat to life, expansive soils have received limited attention, despite their costly effects. Similar to every other community in Iowa, the roadways in this planning area are affected by expansive soils. This hazard is most evident by potholes that cause damage to local roadways and vehicles. Extreme Heat Conditions for extreme heat are defined by summertime weather that is substantially hotter and/or more humid than average for a location at that time of year. This includes temperatures (including heat index) in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit for at least three (3) successive days of 90+ degrees Fahrenheit. The heat index is a number in degrees Fahrenheit that tells how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored into actual air temperature. Exposure to full sunshine can increase the heat index by at least 15 degrees. The National Weather Service can issue a Heat Advisory or Excessive Heat Warning. Between 1995 and 2010 Iowa experienced 30 extreme heat events. Flash Flood A flash flood is an event that occurs with little or no warning where water levels rise at an extremely fast rate. Flash flooding results from intense rainfall over a brief period, sometimes combined with rapid snowmelt, ice jam release, frozen ground, saturated soil, or impermeable surfaces. Most flash flooding is caused by slow -moving thunderstorms or thunderstorms repeatedly moving over the same area. The table to the right is data from the National Climatic Data Center. No deaths or injuries have been recorded with these events. Grass/Wild land Fire A grass or wild -land fire is an uncontrolled fire that threatens life and property in a rural or a wooded area. Grass and wild -land fires are more likely to occur when conditions are favorable, such as during periods of drought when natural vegetation is drier and more combustible. According to the National Climatic Data Center, no wildfires have been recorded in Iowa since record keeping began in 1950. Human Disease An incident related to human disease is defined as a medical, health, or sanitation threat to the general public including contamination, epidemics, plagues, or infestations. Public health action to control infectious diseases in the 21st century is based on the 19th century discovery of microorganisms as the cause of many serious diseases (e.g., cholera and TB). Disease control resulted from improvements in sanitation and hygiene, the discovery of antibiotics, and the implementation of universal childhood vaccination programs. Scientific and technologic advances played a major role in each of these areas and are the foundation for today's disease surveillance and control systems. The historical occurrence of the outbreak of communicable diseases in the planning area is difficult to determine. There were no known historical occurrences of the outbreak of communicable diseases in Black Hawk County. However, there are the typical seasonal episodes of influenza, also known as the flu, within the county. Landslide Landslides occur when susceptible rock, earth, or debris moves down a slope under the force of gravity and water. Landslides may be very small or very large, and can move at slow to very high speeds. A natural phenomenon, landslides have been occurring in slide -prone areas of Iowa since long before the state was created. Landslides can occur due to rainstorms, fires, or human activities that modify slope and drainage. There have been no occurrences of landslides in the planning area. River Flooding River flooding is a rising or overflowing of a tributary or body of water that covers adjacent land not usually covered by water when the volume of water in a stream exceeds the channel's capacity. River floods are the most common and widespread of all natural disasters, except fire. Most communities in the U.S. can experience some kind of flooding after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms, winter storm thaws, waterway obstructions, or levee or dam failures. Often it is a combination of these elements that causes damaging floods. Floods can be slow-, or fast -rising but generally develop over a period of days. Flooding is a natural and expected phenomenon that occurs annually, usually restricted to specific streams, rivers or watershed areas. There have been 13 flooding events in Black Hawk County since 2001 causing $926.57 thousand in property damage and $20.453 million in crop damage. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 49 62 of 728 Severe Winter Storm Severe winter weather conditions that can affect day-to-day activities include blizzard conditions, heavy snow, blowing snow, freezing rain, heavy sleet, and extreme cold. Winter storms are common during the months of October through April in Iowa. Black Hawk County has experienced winter storms of some type every winter on record. According to the National Climatic Data Center, there have been 21 heavy snow and ice events reported in Black Hawk County since 2001. Over that same time, there have been three reported "extreme" low temperature and wind-chill events reported in the county. Sinkholes A sinkhole is the loss of surface elevation due to the removal of subsurface support. Sinkholes range from broad, regional lowering of the land surface to abrupt localized collapse. The primary causes of most subsidence are human activities such as underground mining of coal, groundwater/petroleum withdraw, or drainage of organic soils. Sinkholes can aggravate flooding potential, collapse of an abandoned mine may destroy buildings, roads and utilities. It was determined that the probability of sinkholes in the planning area is unlikely. The area does not have the soil classifications for sinkholes. Thunderstorm/Lighting/Hail Thunderstorms are common in Iowa and can occur singly, in clusters, or in lines. Thunderstorms can result in heavy rains, high winds (reaching or exceeding 58 mph), tornados, or hail. Thunderstorms are created from a combination of moisture, rapidly raising warm air, and the lifting mechanism such as that caused when warm and cold air masses collide. From 2001 to 2015, the NCDC lists 25 hail events, 1 lightning event, and 9 heavy rain events that have caused property or crop damage in Black Hawk County. Thunderstorms occur in the community on an annual basis. According to the National Climatic Data Center, since 2001, there have been 51 recorded Thunderstorm and High Wind events in Black Hawk County. During these events there was there was approximately $1.783 million worth of property damage and $263,000 dollars of crop damage. Tornado/Windstorm A tornado is a violent whirling wind characteristically accompanied by a funnel shaped cloud extending down from a cumulonimbus cloud that progress in a narrow, erratic path. Rotating wind speeds can exceed 300 mph and travel across the ground at average speeds of 25-30 mph. A tornado can be a few yards to around a mile wide where it touches the ground. An average tornado is a few hundred yards wide Windstorms, other than tornados, are experienced in all regions of the United States. It is difficult to separate the various wind components that cause damage from other wind -related natural events that often occur with or generate windstorms. Unlike tornadoes, windstorms may have a destructive path that is miles wide and duration of the event could range from hours to days. These events can produce straight line winds in excess of 64 knots (73 mph) causing power outages, property damage, impaired visibility, and crop damage. It is often difficult to separate windstorms and tornado damage when winds get above 64 knots. Windstorms occur in the planning area on an annual basis. High winds are often associated with thunderstorms, but can be produced during severe snow storms or tornados. According to the National Climatic Data Center, the County has had 19 high wind events reported since 2001. These events caused $650,110 in property damage and $25 thousand in crop damage. Since 2001 there have been 8 recorded occurrences of tornado events in the planning area. The estimated total of property damage from these tornadoes is $804,000 while crop damage totaled $68,000. The most notable of these events occurred in 2008 when a tornado passed over Fern resulting in $300,000 in property damage and $2,000 in crop damage. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 4 663 of 728 Technological Hazards HAZMAT Incident This hazard encompasses fixed hazardous materials, pipeline transportation, and transportation hazardous materials. This can include the accidental release of flammable or combustible, explosive, toxic, noxious, corrosive, oxidizable, irritant, or radioactive substances or mixtures that can pose a risk to life, health, or property possibly requiring evacuation. A fixed hazardous materials incident is the accidental release of chemical substances or mixtures which presents a danger to the public health or safety during production or handling at a fixed facility. Fixed hazardous material incidents usually affect a localized area, and the use of planning and zoning can minimize the area of impact. During the period 2000-2010, fixed facilities experienced 4,972 incidents according to the Iowa Department Natural Resources (DNR). Fixed facility releases accounted for 57.6% of total releases. (Note: the number of trips to drug related operations has risen sharply in the state.) There are 4,057 sites in Iowa that because of the volume or toxicity of the materials on site are designated as Tier Two facilities under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. Despite increasing safeguards, more and more potentially hazardous materials are being used in commercial, agricultural, and domestic activities. This situation is further complicated by the density of people and hazardous materials in Iowa. A pipeline transportation incident occurs when a break in a pipeline creates the potential for an explosion or leak of a dangerous substance (oil, gas, etc.) possibly requiring evacuation. A pipeline incident can be caused by environmental disruption, accidental damage, or sabotage. Incidents can range from a small slow leak to a large rupture where an explosion is possible. Inspection and maintenance of the pipeline system along with marked gas line locations and an early warning and response procedure can lessen the risk to those near to the pipelines. According to the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) and the United State Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, 56 pipeline accidents, incidents, or service outages were reported between 2002 and 2015, resulting in a total of 9 injuries and no fatalities. Infrastructure Failure This hazard encompasses a variety of occurrences including communication failure, energy failure, structural failure, and structural fire. This includes an extended interruption, widespread breakdown, or collapse (part or all) of any public or private infrastructure that threatens life and property. One potential cause of infrastructure failure is space weather/solar flare. Communication failure is the widespread breakdown or disruption of normal communication capabilities. Major telephone outages, loss of local government radio facilities, long-term interruption of electronic broadcast services, emergency 911, law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, public works, and emergency warning systems are just a few of the vital services which rely on communication systems to effectively protect citizens. Business and industry rely heavily on various communication media as well. Mechanical failure, traffic accidents, power failure, line severance, solar flares, and severe weather can affect communication systems and disrupt service. Disruptions and failures can range from localized and temporary to widespread and long-term. If switching stations are affected, the outage could be more widespread. The collapse (partial or total) of any structure including roads, bridges, towers, and buildings is considered a structural failure. A road, bridge, or building may collapse due to the failure of the structural components or because the structure was overloaded. Natural events such as heavy snow may also cause the roof of a building to collapse (under the weight of snow). The age of the structure is sometimes independent of the cause of the failure. Enforcement of building codes can better guarantee that structures are designed to hold-up under normal conditions. Routine inspection of older structures may alert inspectors to weak points. The level of damage and severity of the failure is dependent on factors such as the size of the building or bridge, the number of occupants of the building, the time of day, day of week, amount of traffic on the road or bridge, and the type, and amount of products stored in the structure. There have been structural failures across the state in the past as mentioned above. They have included homes, commercial structures, and communications towers. There is no central collection point for this information, but news articles document infrastructure failure. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag496164 of 728 Civil structures may fail for a variety of reasons. These include fire, excessive vibrations, explosion, high-energy piping failures, missiles, and earthquakes. With some possible exceptions (misuse, accidental or environmental loads), the causes of failure may be found in deficiencies of design, detailing, material, workmanship, or inspection. With the aging structures in the country and problems with new materials discussed above, structural failures will continue to occur. Efforts to inspect and maintain these structures will lessen the probability of failure, but not guarantee that it will not occur. A structural fire is an uncontrolled fire in a populated area that threatens life and property and is beyond normal day-to-day response capability. Structural fires present a far greater threat to life and property and the potential for much larger economic losses. Modern fire codes and fire suppression requirements in new construction and building renovations, coupled with improved fire -fighting equipment, training, and techniques lessen the chance and impact of a major urban fire. Most structural fires occur in residential structures, but the occurrence of a fire in a commercial or industrial facility could affect more people and pose a greater threat to those near the fire or fighting the fire because of the volume or type of the material involved. Less severe structural fires are almost a common occurrence in some communities. Nearly all are extinguished by on -site personnel or local fire departments. There have been 284 deaths in Iowa from fires from 2006 to March of 2015 according to the State Fire Marshall Division. Levee/Dam Failure Dam/Levee failure is the uncontrolled release of water resulting from a structural failure in a dam, wall, dike, berm, or area of elevated soil that causes flooding. Possible causes of the breach could include flooding, earthquakes, blockages, landslides, lack of maintenance, improper operation, poor construction, vandalism, terrorism, erosion, piping, saturation, or under seepage. According to the National Inventory of Dams, there is one dam in Black Hawk County: Holland Marsh Dam to the west of Holland. Radiological Incident A radiological incident is an occurrence resulting in a release of radiological material at a fixed facility or in transit. An incident resulting in a release of radiological material at a fixed facility includes, but is not limited to, power plants, hospitals, and laboratories. Although the term "nuclear accident" has no strict technical definition, it generally refers to events involving the release of significant levels of radiation. Emergency classifications are divided into four categories. Each calls for a certain level of response from plant and government personnel. From least to most severe, the classifications are: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. From 1990 to 2010, the Duane Arnold Energy Center which is located in the closest proximity to the community in Palo, has had 5 Unusual Events, no Alerts, and no Site Area Emergencies or General Emergencies. Transportation Incident This hazard encompasses air transportation, highway transportation, railway transportation, and waterway incidents. A transportation incident is described as an accident involving any mode of transportation that directly threatens life, property damage, injury, or adversely impacts a community's capabilities to provide emergency services. According to the Iowa DOT, rural Black Hawk County saw 1043 various types of vehicular crashes from 2007 to 2011 resulting in 488 injuries and 13 fatalities. Of these accidents, 330 were related to icy, snowy or slushy surface conditions resulting in 149 injuries and 3 fatalities. Human Caused Hazards Terrorism This hazard encompasses a wide variety of human caused threats including enemy attack, biological terrorism, agro-terrorism, chemical terrorism, conventional terrorism, cyber terrorism, radiological terrorism, and public disorder. This includes the use of multiple outlets to demonstrate unlawful force, violence, and/or threat against persons or property causing intentional harm for purposes of intimidation, coercion or ransom in violation of the criminal laws of the United States. These actions may cause massive destruction and/or extensive casualties. 2020 BHC Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Pag 4 $65 of 728 TO: The Courier FROM: Lori Glover Black Hawk County EMA Coordinator (319) 291-4373 (Note: Please publish this press release in the next edition of your newspaper.

BLACK HAWK COUNTY MULTI -JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN SECOND PLANNING SESSION MEETING Black Hawk County is continuing its process of updating its 2015 Hazard Mitigation Plan by conducting a second planning meeting. As was stated in prior notices and the first meeting, the purpose of the plan is two -fold. The plan is a federal requisite to remain eligible for other mitigation grant programs offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA mandates the plan be updated every five (5) years. Second, the plan is designed to create hazard mitigation strategies which can reduce negative impacts caused by natural and man-made hazards within the county and the incorporated jurisdictions. This second meeting will include assessing hazard risks, updating information from the existing plan, including goals and action steps, and the dates and locations of future meetings. The meeting will take place on Thursday, October 17, 2019 at 4:30 PM at the Black Hawk County Emergency Office, Emergency Operation Center, Waterloo, Iowa 50707.

CONDITIONS, UNDERSTANDINGS AND ASSUMPTIONS: The scope of services and estimated effort is based on the following assumptions concerning the project's situation and associated design elements: • Utilities There are known utilities involved in this project at this time, as noted below: - A fiber optic line was observed about 7' from the north edge of the existing bridge with a fiber optic vault on each end of the bridge. A gas line is located 4' from the north edge of the bridge as well. The survey identified a water line 7' from south edge of the bridge. - A sanitary sewer main is located 80' from the western edge of the existing bridge slab. The scope of services, and estimated effort, assumes only minor utility coordination to relocate the utilities to avoid the bridge construction. It is assumed that no utilities will be incorporated into the final bridge construction.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF WATERLOO, IOWA, BY ENACTING A NEW SECTION 5-2-14, PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, USE OF MEDIANS. BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Waterloo, Iowa, that: Section 1. That the Municipal Code of the City of Waterloo, Iowa, 2020, as heretofore amended, is hereby amended by adding and enacting new Section 5-2-14, relating to pedestrian safety and use of medians, as follows: Sec. 5-2-14. Pedestrian Safety, Use of Medians. A. The City Council makes the following findings and adopts the following statement of purposes of this section: 1. Pedestrian fatalities increased in the United States by 46% from 2009 to 2016, with the largest increases in urban arterial streets, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. 2. Fifty percent of pedestrians who are struck by a vehicle travelling at 30 miles per hour are killed; as speed increases, a higher percentage of people struck are killed, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Literature Review on Vehicle Travel Speeds and Pedestrian Injuries (2000). 3. The National Association of City Transportation Officials Urban Street Design Guide (2011) states that a median or island should be at least six feet wide where pedestrians are present. This is consistent with the Public Rights of Way Accessibility Guidelines promulgated by the United States Access Board which specify that a pedestrian refuge in a street must have a top surface width of six feet, excluding curbs. 4. Section 240 of the City of Waterloo Traffic Code provides that pedestrians crossing a street in the business district shall cross in crosswalks only. In the ten years preceding, ten pedestrian fatalities have occurred in Waterloo. There have been 341 pedestrian injuries. 5. The City Engineer has determined based on City GIS maps and/or, where appropriate, site visits that the intersections listed in subsection (b) of this Ordinance do not have medians or islands of adequate width for pedestrian refuge; therefore, pedestrians should be prohibited from standing, sitting or staying in the medians at these intersections for any purpose other than to cross the street, if crossing is lawful. Page 720 of 728 B. Pedestrians are prohibited from standing, sitting or staying on a median or ramp nose for any purpose other than to cross the street, if lawful, unless the width of the top surface of the median, excluding the curbs is at least 6 feet wide. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, medians and ramp noses on or near legs feeding the following intersections in the city: E. San Marnan Drive and 218/380 Ramps E.
