SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. re: Jefferson County/City of Port Townsend
Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Adopt and promulgate the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan.
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PRO'S and CON'S:
The Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan is a collaborative process between the City of Port Townsend and
Jefferson County. The plan provides the framework for reducing vulnerability to natural hazards. It contains
an analysis of hazards, assessment or risks and vulnerabilities, and description of the manner in which
mitigation is planned and carried out.
It identifies goals, objectives and recommended actions to reduce of prevent injury and damaged caused by
natural hazard events. The plan assembles a number of existing hazard reduction methodologies into a
single overall strategy as a requirement of the Hazard Mitigation Act of 2000.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
Without this plan, Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend (and other participating local entities)
would be ineligible for a variety of disaster recovery programs over time, including the Public Assistance
Program to repair or replace damaged public facilities, and the Fire Management Assistance Program to help
communities recover the costs of fighting major wildland fires.
Most strategies identified in the plan are already in effect. Additional recommendations made in the plan are
contingent upon the availability of resources to carry them out.
The plan must be review annually, and updated every five years.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the 2004 Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan.
