SECTION 6 VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

MEMA District 2 Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan FINAL

6:1

This section identifies and quantifies the vulnerability of the MEMA District 2 Region to the significant hazards identified in the previous sections (Hazard Identification and Profiles). It consists of the following subsections:

6.1 Overview

6.2 Methodology

6.3 Explanation of Data Sources

6.4 Asset Inventory

6.5 Vulnerability Assessment Results

6.6 Conclusions on Hazard Vulnerability

44 CFR Requirement

44 CFR Part 201.6(c)(2)(ii): The risk assessment shall include a description of the jurisdiction's vulnerability to the hazards described in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section. The description shall include an overall summary of each hazard and its impact on the community. The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of: (A) The types and numbers of existing and future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the identified hazard areas; (B) An estimate of the potential losses to vulnerable structures identified in paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(A) of this section and a description of the methodology used to prepare the estimate; (C) Providing a general description of land uses and development trends within the community so that mitigation options can be considered in future land use decisions.

6.1 OVERVIEW This section builds upon the information provided in Section 4: Hazard Identification and Section 5: Hazard Profiles by identifying and characterizing an inventory of assets in the MEMA District 2 Region. In addition, the potential impact and expected amount of damages caused to these assets by each identified hazard event is assessed. The primary objective of the vulnerability assessment is to quantify exposure and the potential loss estimates for each hazard. In doing so, the MEMA District 2 counties and their participating jurisdictions may better understand their unique risks to identified hazards and be better prepared to evaluate and prioritize specific hazard mitigation actions. This section begins with an explanation of the methodology applied to complete the vulnerability assessment, followed by a summary description of the asset inventory as compiled for the MEMA District 2 Region. The remainder of this section focuses on the results of the assessment conducted.

6.2 METHODOLOGY This vulnerability assessment was conducted using three distinct methodologies: (1) A stochastic risk assessment; (2) a geographic information system (GIS)-based analysis; and (3) a risk modeling software analysis. Each approach provides estimates for the potential impact of hazards by using a common, systematic framework for evaluation, including historical occurrence information provided in the Hazard

SECTION 6: VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT


6:2

Identification and Analysis sections. A brief description of the three different approaches is provided on the following pages.

6.2.1 Stochastic Risk Assessment The stochastic risk assessment methodology was applied to analyze hazards of concern that were outside the scope of hazard risk models and the GIS-based risk assessment. This includes hazards that do not have geographically-definable boundaries and are therefore excluded from spatial analysis through GIS. A stochastic risk methodology was used for the following hazards:

Erosion Dam and Levee Failure

Winter Storm and Freeze Drought / Heat Wave Expansive Soils Landslide

Land Subsidence / Sinkhole Thunderstorm (wind, hail, lightning) Tornado Pipelines

Water Supply / System Failure Active Shooter

Civil Unrest Cyberterrorism Human Trafficking

Pandemic Terror Threat

Many of the hazards listed above are considered atmospheric and have the potential to affect all buildings and all populations. For many of these hazards listed above, no additional analysis was performed. When possible, annualized loss estimates were determined using the best available data on historical losses from sources including NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center records, MEMA District 2 Region county hazard mitigation plans, and local knowledge. Annualized loss is the estimated long-term weighted average value of losses to property in any single year in a specified geographic area (i.e., municipal jurisdiction or county). Annualized loss estimates were generated by totaling the amount of property damage over the period of time for which records were available, and calculating the average annual loss. Given the standard weighting analysis, losses can be readily compared across hazards providing an objective approach for evaluating mitigation alternatives. For the erosion, dam and levee failure1, expansive soils, landslide, land subsidence / sinkhole, pipelines, water supply / system failure, active shooter, civil unrest, cyberterrorism, human trafficking, pandemic, and terror threat hazards no data with historical property damages was available. Therefore, annualized potential losses for these hazards are presumed to be negligible. Winter storm and freeze, drought /

data, no additional analysis was performed. Further, local MEMA District 2 officials indicate that separate dam failure plans have

been completed for their counties to identify risk and response measures. There was no local knowledge of critical facilities being

at risk to dam failure. As additional data becomes available, more in-depth analysis will be conducted.

heat wave, thunderstorm (wind, hail, lightning), and tornado have the potential to impact the entire MEMA District 2 Region. The results for these hazards are found near the end of this section in Table 6.13.

6.2.2 GIS-Based Analysis

Other hazards have specified geographic boundaries that permit additional using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). These hazards include:

Flood Wildfire Hazardous Material Incident

The objective of the GIS-based analysis was to determine the estimated vulnerability of critical facilities and populations for the identified hazards in the MEMA District 2 Region using best available geospatial data. Digital data was collected from local, regional, state, and national sources for hazards and buildings. Jurisdictions in the MEMA District 2 Region generally did not have readily available geospatial parcel or building footprint data. Despite this lack of data, the HMC wanted to have some estimate of potential building and dollar losses, so Census block data was extracted from Hazus MH 2.2 that included building counts and potential exposure of property in the region. Additionally, geo-referenced point locations for identified assets (critical facilities and infrastructure, special populations, etc.) were identified via Hazus MH 2.2 and used in this vulnerability analysis. ESRI® ArcGIS™ 10.2.2 was used to assess hazard vulnerability utilizing digital hazard data, as well as local building and exposure data described above. Using these data layers, hazard vulnerability can be quantified by estimating the number and dollar value of Census blocks determined to be located in identified hazard areas. To estimate vulnerable populations in hazard areas, digital Census 2010 data by census tract was obtained. This was intersected with hazard areas to determine exposed population counts. The results of the analysis provided an estimate of the number of people and critical facilities, as well as the value of buildings determined to be potentially at risk to those hazards with delineable geographic hazard boundaries.

6.2.3 Risk Modeling Software Analysis A risk modeling software was used for the following hazards:

Earthquake Hurricane and Tropical Storm

There are several models that exist to model hazards. Hazus-MH was used in this vulnerability assessment to address the aforementioned hazards.

HAZUS-MH Hazus-MH (“Hazus”) is a standardized loss estimation software program developed by FEMA. It is built upon an integrated GIS platform to conduct analysis at a regional



6:4

level (i.e., not on a structure-by-structure basis). The Hazus risk assessment methodology is parametric, in that distinct hazard and inventory parameters (e.g., wind speed and building types) can be modeled using the software to determine the impact (i.e., damages and losses) on the built environment. The MEMA District 2 Regional Risk Assessment utilized Hazus-MH to produce hazard damage loss estimations for hazards for the planning area. At the time this analysis was completed, Hazus-MH 2.2 was used to estimate potential damages from hurricane winds earthquake hazards using Hazus-MH methodology. Although the program can also model losses for flood and storm surge, it was not used in this Risk Assessment. Figure 6.1 illustrates the conceptual model of the Hazus-MH methodology.

FIGURE 6.1: CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF HAZUS-MH METHODOLOGY

Hazus-MH is capable of providing a variety of loss estimation results. In order to be consistent with other hazard assessments, annualized losses are presented when possible. Some additional results based on location-specific scenarios may also be presented to provide a complete picture of hazard vulnerability. Loss estimates provided in this vulnerability assessment are based on best available data and methodologies. The results are an approximation of risk. These estimates should be used to understand



6:5

relative risk from hazards and potential losses. Uncertainties are inherent in any loss estimation methodology, arising in part from incomplete scientific knowledge concerning natural hazards and their effects on the built environment. Uncertainties also result from approximations and simplifications that are necessary for a comprehensive analysis (e.g., incomplete inventories, non-specific locations, demographics, or economic parameters). All conclusions are presented in “Conclusions on Hazard Vulnerability” at the end of this section.

6.3 EXPLANATION OF DATA SOURCES

FLOOD FEMA Digital Flood Rate Insurance Maps (DFIRM) flood data was used to determine flood vulnerability. DFIRM data can be used in ArcGIS for mapping purposes, and they identify several features including floodplain boundaries and base flood elevations. Identified areas on the DFIRM represent some features of a Flood Insurance Rate Maps including the 100-year flood areas (1.0-percent annual chance flood), and the 500-year flood areas (0.2-percent annual chance flood). For the vulnerability assessment, local improved property data and critical facilities were overlaid on the 1.0-percent annual chance floodplains (ACF) and 0.2-percent annual chance floodplain areas for counties that had digital parcel data available. It should be noted that such an analysis does not account for building elevation.

WILDFIRE The data used to determine vulnerability to wildfire in the MEMA District 2 Region is based on GIS data called the Southern Wildfire Risk Assessment (SWRA). This data is available on the Southern Wildfire Risk Assessment website and can be downloaded and imported into ArcGIS. A specific layer, known as “Wildland Urban Interface Risk Index” (WUIRI) was used to determine vulnerability of people and property. The WUIRI is presented on a scale of 0 to -9. It combines data on housing density with the data on the impact and likelihood of a wildfire occurring in a specific area. The primary purpose of the data is to highlight areas of concern that may be conducive to mitigation actions. Due to assumptions made, it is not true probability. However, it does provide a comparison of risk throughout the region.

EARTHQUAKE Hazus-MH 2.2 (as described above) was used to assess earthquake vulnerability. A level 1, probabilistic scenario to estimate average annualized loss was utilized. In this scenario, several return periods (events of varying intensities) are run to determine annualized loss. Default Hazus earthquake damage functions and methodology were used to determine the probability of damage. Results are calculated at the 2010 U.S. Census tract level in Hazus and presented at the county level.

LANDSLIDE As a result of the low susceptibility and low incidence of landslide for counties in the MEMA District 2 Region, a GIS-based vulnerability analysis was not carried out for this plan. USGS Landslide Susceptibility Index data was evaluated along with historic occurrences to determine landslide vulnerability and vulnerability was determined to be consistently low throughout the region.



6:6

HURRICANE AND TROPICAL STORM WIND Hazus-MH 2.2 (as described above) was used to assess wind vulnerability. For the hurricane wind analysis, a probabilistic scenario was created to estimate the annualized loss damage in the MEMA District 2 Region. Default Hazus wind speed data, damage functions, and methodology were used in to determine the probability of damage for 100-, 500-, and 1,000-year frequency events (also known as a return period) in the scenario. Results are calculated in Hazus at the 2010 U.S. Census tract level and presented at the county level.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INCIDENT For the fixed hazardous materials incident analysis, Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data was used. The Toxics Release Inventory is a publicly available database from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that contains information on toxic chemical releases and other waste management activities reported annually by certain covered industry groups as well as federal facilities. This inventory was established under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and expanded by the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. Each year, facilities that meet certain activity thresholds must report their releases and other waste management activities for listed toxic chemicals to EPA and to their state or tribal entity. A facility must report if it meets the following three criteria:

The facility falls within one of the following industrial categories: manufacturing; metal mining; coal mining; electric generating facilities that combust coal and/or oil; chemical wholesale distributors; petroleum terminals and bulk storage facilities; RCRA Subtitle C treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities; and solvent recovery services;

Has 10 or more full-time employee equivalents; and

Manufactures or processes more than 25,000 pounds or otherwise uses more than 10,000 pounds of any listed chemical during the calendar year. Persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemicals are subject to different thresholds of 10 pounds, 100 pounds, or 0.1 grams depending on the chemical.

For the mobile hazardous materials incident analysis, transportation data including major highways and railroads were obtained from the National Atlas. This data is ArcGIS compatible, lending itself to buffer analysis to determine risk.

6.4 ASSET INVENTORY An inventory of geo-referenced assets within the MEMA District 2 counties and jurisdictions was compiled in order to identify and characterize those properties potentially at risk to the identified hazards.2 By understanding the type and number of assets that exist and where they are located in relation to known hazard areas, the relative risk and vulnerability for such assets can be assessed. Under this assessment, two categories of physical assets were created and then further assessed through GIS analysis. Additionally, social assets are addressed to determine population at risk to the identified hazards. These are presented below in Section 6.4.1.

2 While potentially not all-inclusive for MEMA District 2, “georeferenced” assets include those assets for which specific location

data is readily available for connecting the asset to a specific geographic location for purposes of GIS analysis.



6:7

6.4.1 Physical and Improved Assets The two categories of physical assets consist of:

1. Improved Property: Unfortunately, building footprint and parcel data was not available for any

of the participating areas. Therefore the definition of improved property includes all improved properties in the MEMA District 2 Region according to building data extracted from Hazus MH 2.2. It should be noted that this data produced less accurate information concerning the number of buildings at risk than parcel data because the Hazus data was aggregated at a much larger geographic area, the Census Block level. Hazus inventory data provides an estimate of the number of buildings in the study region. The economic exposure is also presented to be referenced with any Hazus-related results.

2. Critical Facilities: Critical facilities vary by jurisdiction. For this Vulnerability Assessment,

facilities were used from Hazus-MH which includes fire stations, police station, hospitals, schools, and emergency operation centers. When provided, local data was used to supplement the Hazus data. It should be noted that this listing is not all-inclusive for assets located in the region, but it is anticipated that it will be expanded during future plan updates as more geo-referenced data becomes available for use in GIS analysis.

The following tables provide a detailed listing of the geo-referenced assets that have been identified for inclusion in the vulnerability assessment for the MEMA District 2 Region. Table 6.1 lists the estimated number of improved properties and the total value of improvements for participating areas of the MEMA District 2 Region (study area of vulnerability assessment). Because digital parcel data was not available, data obtained from Hazus-MH 2.2 inventory was utilized to complete the analysis.

Based on the data above, there has been a relatively low rate of residential development and population growth in the region since 2010, and many jurisdictions have actually experienced slight population declines. However, the Town of Abbeville has experienced a slightly higher rate of development compared to the rest of the region, resulting in an increased number of structures that are vulnerable to the potential impacts of the identified hazards. Additionally, there have been considerably higher rates of population growth in Lafayette County, the City of Oxford, and the Town of Guntown. Since the population has increased in these jurisdictions, there are now greater numbers of people exposed to the identified hazards. Therefore, development and population growth have impacted the region’s vulnerability since the previous local hazard mitigation plans were approved and there has been a slight increase in the overall vulnerability. It is also important to note that as development increases in the future, greater populations and more structures and infrastructure will be exposed to potential hazards if development occurs in the floodplains, moderate landside susceptibility areas, high wildfire risk areas, or primary and secondary TRI site buffers.

6.5 VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT RESULTS As noted earlier, only hazards with a specific geographic boundary, available modeling tool, or sufficient historical data allow for further analysis in this section. Those results are presented here. All other hazards are assumed to impact the entire planning region (drought / heat wave; thunderstorm—wind, hail, lightning; tornado; and winter storm and freeze) or, due to lack of data, analysis would not lead to credible results (dam and levee failure, erosion, expansive soils, landslide, land subsidence / sinkhole, pipelines, water supply / system failure, active shooter, civil unrest, cyberterrorism, and human trafficking). The total region exposure, and thus risk to these hazards, was presented in Table 6.1.



6:18

The hazards to be further analyzed in this section include: flood, wildfire, earthquake, hurricane and tropical storm winds, and hazardous materials incident. The annualized loss estimate for all hazards is presented at the end of this section in Table 6.13.

6.5.1 Flood Historical evidence indicates that the MEMA District 2 Region is susceptible to flood events. A total of 215 flood events have been reported by the National Climatic Data Center resulting in $15.3 million (2015 dollars) in property damage as well as five fatalities. On an annualized level, these damages amounted to $1,152,030 for the MEMA District 2 Region. In order to assess flood risk, a GIS-based analysis was used to estimate exposure to flood events using Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data in combination with improved property records for each of the MEMA District 2 Counties (with the exception of Itawamba). The determination of value at-risk (exposure) was calculated using GIS analysis by summing the values for improved properties that were located within an identified floodplain. Due to a lack of digital parcel data, it was determined that an analysis using the inventory from Hazus-MH 2.2 would be used, though it should be noted that the data will merely be an estimation and may not reflect actual counts or values located in the floodplain. Indeed, in almost all cases, this analysis likely overestimates the amount of property at risk. Table 6.6 presents the potential at-risk property. Both the number of parcels and the approximate value are presented.

SOCIAL VULNERABILITY Figure 6.4 is presented to gain a better understanding of at-FINAL population by evaluating census tract level population data against mapped floodplains. There are areas of concern in several of the municipal population centers in this region including Tupelo, New Albany, and Corinth. Indeed, nearly every incorporated municipality is potentially at FINAL of being impacted by flooding in some areas of its jurisdiction. Therefore, further investigation in these areas may be warranted.

CRITICAL FACILITIES The critical facility analysis revealed that there are twelve facilities located in the floodplain. (Please note, as previously indicated, this analysis does not consider building elevation, which may negate FINAL.) All of these facilities are located in the 1.0 percent annual chance flood zone, and they include one fire station, four police stations, and seven schools. A list of specific critical facilities and their associated FINAL can be found in Table 6.14 at the end of this section.

In conclusion, a flood has the potential to impact many existing and future buildings, facilities, and populations in the MEMA District 2 Region, though some areas are at a higher FINAL than others. All types of structures in a floodplain are at-FINAL, though elevated structures will have a reduced FINAL. Such site-specific vulnerability determinations are outside the scope of this assessment but will be considered during future plan updates. Furthermore, areas subject to repetitive flooding should be analyzed for potential mitigation actions.



6:22

6.5.2 Wildfire Although historical evidence indicates that the MEMA District 2 Region is susceptible to wildfire events, there are few reports which include information on historic dollar losses. Therefore, it is difficult to calculate a reliable annualized loss figure. Annualized loss is considered negligible though it should be noted that a single event could result in significant damages throughout the region. To estimate exposure to wildfire, building data was obtained from Hazus-MH 2.2 which includes information that has been aggregated at the Census block level and which has been deemed useful for analyzing wildfire vulnerability. However, it should be noted that the accuracy of Hazus data is somewhat lower than that of parcel data. For the critical facility analysis, areas of concern were intersected with critical facility locations. Figure 6.5 shows the Wildland Urban Interface FINAL Index (WUIRI) data, which is a data layer that shows a rating of the potential impact of a wildfire on people and their homes. The key input, Wildland Urban Interface (WUI), reflects housing density (houses per acre) consistent with Federal Register National standards. The location of people living in the WUI and rural areas is key information for defining potential wildfire impacts to people and homes. Initially provided as raster data, it was converted to a polygon to allow for analysis. The Wildland Urban Interface FINAL Index data ranges from 0 to -9 with lower values being most severe (as noted previously, this is only a measure of relative FINAL). Figure 6.6 shows the areas of analysis where any grid cell is less than -5. Areas with a value below -5 were chosen to be displayed as areas of FINAL because this showed the upper echelon of the scale and the areas at highest FINAL. Table 6.7 shows the results of the analysis.

SOCIAL VULNERABILITY Given some level of susceptibility across the entire MEMA District 2 Region, it is assumed that the total population is at FINAL to the wildfire hazard. Determining the exact number of people in certain wildfire zones is difficult with existing data and could be misleading.

CRITICAL FACILITIES The critical facility analysis revealed that there are 26 critical facilities located in wildfire areas of concern, including 1 EOC, 9 fire stations, 1 hospital, 2 police stations, 10 schools, 2 government buildings, and 1 other. It should be noted, that several factors could impact the spread of a wildfire putting all facilities at FINAL. A list of specific critical facilities and their associated FINAL can be found in Table 6.14 at the end of this section. In conclusion, a wildfire event has the potential to impact many existing and future buildings, critical facilities, and populations in the MEMA District 2 Region.

6.5.3 Earthquake As the Hazus-MH model suggests below, and historical occurrences confirm, any earthquake activity in the area is likely to inflict minor to moderate damage to the planning area. Hazus-MH 2.2 estimates a total annualized loss of $3,374,000 which includes buildings, contents, and inventory throughout the planning area.



6:27

For the earthquake hazard vulnerability assessment, a probabilistic scenario was created to estimate the average annualized loss6 for the region on a county by county basis. The results of the analysis are generated at the Census Tract level within Hazus-MH and then aggregated to the county level. Since the scenario is annualized, no building counts are provided. Losses reported included losses due to structure failure, building loss, contents damage, and inventory loss. They do not include losses to business interruption, lost income, or relocation. Table 6.8 summarizes the findings with results rounded to the nearest thousand.

SOCIAL VULNERABILITY It can be assumed that all existing and future populations are at FINAL to the earthquake hazard. CRITICAL FACILITIES The Hazus-MH probabilistic analysis indicated that no critical facilities would sustain measurable damage in an earthquake event. However, all critical facilities should be considered at-FINAL to minor damage, should an event occur. Specific vulnerabilities for these assets will be greatly dependent on their individual design and the mitigation measures in place, where appropriate. Such site-specific vulnerability determinations are outside the scope of this assessment but will be considered during future plan updates. In conclusion, an earthquake has the potential to impact all existing and future buildings, facilities, and populations in the MEMA District 2 Region. The Hazus-MH scenario indicates that minimal to moderate damage is expected from an earthquake occurrence. While the MEMA District 2 Region may not experience a large earthquake (the greatest on record is a magnitude VI MMI), localized damage is

possible with an occurrence. A list of specific critical facilities and their associated FINAL can be found in Table 6.14 at the end of this section.

6.5.4 Hurricane and Tropical Storm Historical evidence indicates that the MEMA District 2 Region has some FINAL to the hurricane and tropical storm hazard. There have been two disaster declarations due to hurricanes (Hurricane Dennis and Hurricane Katrina). Several tracks have come near or traversed through the MEMA District 2 Region, as shown and discussed in Section 5: Hazard Profiles. Hazus-MH 2.2 estimates a total annualized loss of $761,000 which includes buildings, contents, and inventory throughout the planning area. Hurricanes and tropical storms can cause damage through numerous additional hazards such as flooding, erosion, tornadoes, and high winds, thus it is difficult to estimate total potential losses from these cumulative effects. The current Hazus-MH hurricane model only analyzes hurricane winds and is not capable of modeling and estimating cumulative losses from all hazards associated with hurricanes; therefore only hurricane winds are analyzed in this section. It can be assumed that all existing and future buildings and populations are at FINAL to the hurricane and tropical storm hazard. Hazus-MH 2.2 was used to determine average annualized losses7 for the region as shown below in Table 6.9. Only losses to buildings, inventory, and contents are included in the results.

CRITICAL FACILITIES Given equal vulnerability across the MEMA District 2 Region, all critical facilities are considered to be at FINAL. Some buildings may perform better than others in the face of such an event due to construction and age, among factors. Determining individual building response is beyond the scope of this plan. However, this plan will consider mitigation action for especially vulnerable structures and/or critical facilities to mitigate against the effects of the hurricane hazard. A list of specific critical facilities can be found in Table 6.14 at the end of this section. In conclusion, a hurricane event has the potential to impact many existing and future buildings, critical facilities, and populations in the MEMA District 2 Region.

6.5.5 Hazardous Materials Incident Historical evidence indicates that the MEMA District 2 Region is susceptible to hazardous materials events. A total of 326 HAZMAT incidents have been reported by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, resulting in $2,605,863 (2015 dollars) in property damage as well as 1 fatality and 14 injuries. On an annualized level, these damages amount to $79,902 for the region. Most hazardous materials incidents that occur are contained and suppressed before destroying any property or threatening lives. However, they can have a significant negative impact. Such events can cause multiple deaths, completely shut down facilities for 30 days or more, and cause more than 50 percent of affected properties to be destroyed or suffer major damage. In a hazardous materials incident, solid, liquid, and/or gaseous contaminants may be released from fixed or mobile containers. Weather conditions will directly affect how the hazard develops. Certain chemicals may travel through the air or water, affecting a much larger area than the point of the incidence itself. Non-compliance with fire and building codes, as well as failure to maintain existing fire and containment features, can substantially increase the damage from a hazardous materials release. The duration of a hazardous materials incident can range from hours to days. Warning time is minimal to none. In order to conduct the vulnerability assessment for this hazard, GIS intersection analysis was used for fixed and mobile areas and building footprints/parcels.8 In both scenarios, two sizes of buffers—0.5-mile and 1.0-mile—were used. These areas are assumed to represent the different levels of effect: immediate (primary) and secondary. Primary and secondary impact zones were selected based on guidance from the PHMSA Emergency Response Guidebook. For the fixed site analysis, geo-referenced TRI sites in the region, along with buffers, were used for analysis as shown in Figure 6.7. For the mobile analysis, the major roads (Interstate highway, U.S. highway, and State highway) and railroads, where hazardous materials are primarily transported that could adversely impact people and buildings, were used for the GIS buffer analysis. Figure 6.8 shows the areas used for mobile toxic release buffer analysis. The results indicate the approximate number of improved properties and improved value, as shown in Table 6.10 (fixed sites), Table 6.11 (mobile road sites), and Table 6.12 (mobile railroad sites).9

8 This type of analysis will likely yield inflated results (generally higher than what is actually reported after an actual event). 9 Note that improved properties included in the 1.0-mile analysis are also included in the 0.5-mile analysis.

SOCIAL VULNERABILITY Given high susceptibility across the entire MEMA District 2 Region, it is assumed that the total population is at FINAL to hazardous materials incident. It should be noted that areas of population concentration may be at an elevated FINAL due to a greater burden to evacuate population quickly.

CRITICAL FACILITIES Fixed Site Analysis: The critical facility analysis for fixed TRI sites revealed that there are 61 facilities located in a HAZMAT FINAL zone. This includes 3 EOCs, 10 fire stations, 2 hospitals, 16 police stations, 24 schools, 5 government buildings, and 1 other. Only 16 facilities are located within the primary impact zone. A list of specific critical facilities and their associated FINAL can be found in Table 6.14 at the end of this section. Mobile Analysis: The critical facility analysis for transportation corridors revealed that there are 219 facilities located in the primary and secondary road HAZMAT buffer areas. This includes 4 EOCs, 60 fire stations, 9 hospitals, 45 police stations, 124 schools, 11 government buildings, and 4 others. There were 218 critical facilities located in the primary FINAL zone. For the rail line buffer areas, there were a total of 191 critical facilities located in one of the buffer areas, including 5 EOCs, 38 fire stations, 9 hospitals, 41 police stations, 93 schools, 6 government buildings, and 1 other. Of these, 147 facilities are located within the primary buffer area. A list of specific critical facilities and their associated FINAL can be found in Table 6.14 at the end of this section. In conclusion, a hazardous material incident has the potential to impact many existing and future buildings, critical facilities, and populations in the MEMA District 2 Region. Those areas in a primary buffer are at the highest FINAL, though all areas carry some vulnerability due to variations in condition that could alter the impact area (i.e., direction and speed of wind, volume of release, etc.). Further, incidents from neighboring counties could also impact the region.

6.6 CONCLUSIONS ON HAZARD VULNERABILITY The results of this vulnerability assessment are useful in at least three ways:

Improving our understanding of the FINAL associated with the natural hazards in the MEMA District 2 Region through better understanding of the complexities and dynamics of FINAL, how levels of FINAL can be measured and compared, and the myriad of factors that influence FINAL. An understanding of these relationships is critical in making balanced and informed decisions on managing the FINAL.

Providing a baseline for policy development and comparison of mitigation alternatives. The data used for this analysis presents a current picture of FINAL in the MEMA District 2 Region. Updating this FINAL “snapshot” with future data will enable comparison of the changes in FINAL with time. Baselines of this type can support the objective analysis of policy and program options for FINAL reduction in the region.

Comparing the FINAL among the natural hazards addressed. The ability to quantify the FINAL to all these hazards relative to one another helps in a balanced, multi-hazard approach to FINAL management at each level of governing authority. This ranking provides a systematic framework to compare and prioritize the very disparate natural hazards that are present in the MEMA District 2 Region. This final step in the FINAL assessment provides the necessary information for local officials to craft a mitigation strategy to focus resources on only those hazards that pose the most threat to the MEMA District 2 counties.

Exposure to hazards can be an indicator of vulnerability. Economic exposure can be identified through values for improvements (buildings), and social exposure can be identified by estimating the population exposed to each hazard. This information is especially important for decision-makers to use in planning for evacuation or other public safety related needs. The types of assets included in these analyses include all building types in the participating jurisdictions. Specific information about the types of assets that are vulnerable to the identified hazards is included in each hazard subsection (for example all building types are considered at FINAL to the winter storm hazard and commercial and residential are at FINAL to repetitive flooding, etc.). Table 6.13 presents a summary of annualized loss for each hazard in the MEMA District 2 Region. Due to the reporting of hazard damages primarily at the county level, it was difficult to determine an accurate annualized loss estimate for each municipality. Therefore, an annualized loss was determined through the damage reported through historical occurrences at the county level. These values should be used as an additional planning tool or measure FINAL for determining hazard mitigation strategies throughout the region.

As noted previously, all existing and future buildings and populations (including critical facilities) are vulnerable to atmospheric hazards including drought / heat wave, hurricane and tropical storm, thunderstorm (wind, hail, lightning), tornado, and winter storm and freeze. In addition, all buildings and populations are vulnerable to all of the man-made and technological hazards identified above. Some buildings may be more vulnerable to these hazards based on locations, construction, and building type. Table 6.14 shows the critical facilities vulnerable to additional hazards analyzed in this section. The table lists those assets that are determined to be exposed to each of the identified hazards (marked with an “X”).
