Dubuque County Multi-Jurisdicational Hazard Mitigation PlanMasterpiece on the Mississippi Date: To: From: Subject: August 7th, 2012 Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager E. Daniel Brown, Fire Chief Dubuque County Multi- Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Dubuque bitil Ail- America City 1j 1 1 r 2012 A request has been made by East Central Intergovernmental Association for the City of Dubuque to pass a resolution adopting the Dubuque County -wide Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Over the past nine months, ECIA has been working with local cities, communities and school districts in Dubuque County to meet the federal requirement of having one plan per county rather than each city and the county having their individual plans. The school districts are also included in the new county wide plan. The City of Dubuque Hazard Mitigation Plan was approved in 2010. It will remain active until we receive FEMA approval on the new Dubuque County MJHMP. Once approved by FEMA the county, cities and school districts will have a plan expiration of five years. A FEMA approved MJHMP is critical to receiving federal emergency preparedness, response, mitigation and recovery grants. The City of Dubuque Committee convened to update, edit and review the proposed plan in July 2012. The City of Dubuque committee consisted of Council Member Joyce Connors Assistant City Manager Cindy Steinhauser, Fire Marshal Mark Ludescher Public Works Director Don Vogt Public Information Officer Randy Gehl Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens Assistant Engineer Deron Muehring Airport Operations Todd Dalsing Council Member Ric Jones Fire Chief Dan Brown Police Chief Mark Dalsing Police Captain Scott Crabill City Engineer Gus Psihoyos Associate Planner Kyle Kritz Airport Manager Bob Grierson Nikki Breitsprecker from GIS CMO Water Department Manager Bob Green Water Plant Manager Jacqueline Rodriguez ECL1 Planner Jennifer Walker Water Distribution Mike Brekke EMA Director Tom Berger Engineering Steve Sampson Brown In addition to this meeting, many members from the city participated on the county wide committee that included representatives from all jurisdictions to provide input and develop the complete plan. This plan will be submitted to FEMA in August and then revised by ECIA if revisions are suggested by FEMA. This plan is considered Part B of our Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and qualifies the City of Dubuque for Federal and State Assistance in a disaster. After the resolutions are gathered from the county, school districts and all of the cities the plan will be submitted to the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division for their approval and then forwarded on to FEMA. I would request you consider this at the August 20th, 2012 City of Dubuque Council Meeting. Representatives from ECIA and I will be available at the meeting to answer any questions. Thank you for your considerat on on th s plan. RESOLUTION 218 -12 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ADOPTING OF THE DUBUQUE COUNTY MULTI - JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, AND REQUEST APPROVAL OF PLAN AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. WHEREAS, the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 was signed in to law October 30, 2000, placing new emphasis on state and local mitigation planning for natural hazards and requiring communities to adopt a hazard mitigation action plan to be eligible for pre- disaster and post- disaster federal funding for mitigation purposes; and WHEREAS, a Multi jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan was prepared by Dubuque County with assistance from East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) of Dubuque, Iowa, which includes the City of Dubuque. WHEREAS, the purpose of the mitigation plan was to lessen the affects of disasters by increasing the disaster resistance of the County and participating jurisdictions located within the planning boundary by identifying the hazards that affect the County and prioritize mitigation strategies to reduce potential loss of life and property damage from those hazards, and WHEREAS, FEMA regulations require documentation that the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of the City of Dubuque in the form of a resolution and further requesting approval of the plan at the Federal Level; and NOW, THEREFORE, the governing body of the City of Dubuque does herewith adopt the Dubuque County Multi jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan in its entirety and request approval of the plan at the Federal Level. PASSED AND APPROVED this 20th day of August, 2012.

Nationwide, taxpayers pay billions of dollars each year to help communities, organizations, businesses, and individuals recover from disasters. These losses only partially reflect the true cost of disasters, because additional expense to insurance companies and nongovernmental organizations are not reimbursed by tax dollars. Additionally, many natural disasters are predictable. Many more are repetitive, often with the same results. Many of the damages caused by these events can be alleviated or even eliminated. FEMA, now a part of the US Department of Homeland Security, has made reducing losses from natural disasters one of its primary goals. Hazard mitigation planning and subsequent implementation of projects, measures, and policies developed through those plans, is the primary mechanism in achieving these goals. Mitigation planning has resulted in the implementation of projects that have successfully reduced disaster damages. This plan was developed pursuant to the regulations of the Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000. The DMA revises the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act by adding Section 322, which provides new and revitalized emphasis on hazard mitigation, including a new requirement for local mitigation plans. These new local mitigation planning regulations are implemented through 44 CFR Part 201.6. The DMA requires state and local governments to develop multi - hazard mitigation plans to maintain their eligibility for certain federal disaster assistance and hazard mitigation funding programs. Communities at risk from natural disasters cannot afford to jeopardize this funding. More importantly, proactive mitigation planning at the local level can help reduce the cost of disaster response and recovery to property owners and government by protecting critical community facilities, reducing liability exposure, and minimizing overall community impacts and disruption. Dubuque County and its participating jurisdictions have been affected by several disasters in the past and are committed to reducing disaster impacts and maintaining eligibility for federal mitigation grant funding. Natural hazards mitigation is defined as sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long -term risk to human life and property from hazards. Natural hazards mitigation planning is the process through which natural hazards that threaten communities are identified, likely impacts of those impacts are determined, prioritized, and implemented. This plan documents the natural hazards mitigation planning process for Dubuque County, identifies natural hazards and risks within the vulnerability and make the communities of Dubuque County more disaster resistant and sustainable. Information in this plan can be used to help guide and coordinate mitigation activities and local land use decisions. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 5 8/7/2012 PREREQUISITES - PARTICIPATION INFORMATION 44 CFR requirement 201.6(c )(5): The local hazard mitigation plan shall include documentation that the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan. For multi - jurisdictional plans, each jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan must document that it has been formally adopted. The following jurisdictions and special districts that meet the FEMA definition of "local government" participated in the development of this plan and have adopted the multi - jurisdictional plan. Resolutions of Adoptions are included on the following pages. (The plan will be adopted and resolutions included for each participating jurisdiction after preliminary approval from the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division (IAHSEMD) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.) If a jurisdiction had an existing single jurisdiction hazard mitigation plan in place at the time of submission for review, the date the plan was approved is noted. JURISDICTION APPROVAL DATE OF PREVIOUS PLAN Dubuque County, Lead Jurisdiction 02/08/2011 City of Asbury 10/16/2009 City of Balltown No plan City of Bankston 10/07/2009 City of Bernard 03/31/2009 City of Cascade 07/11/2005 City of Centralia 2003 City of Dubuque 01/27/2011 City of Durango No plan City of Dyersville 03/25/2011 City of Epworth 06/23/2005 City of Farley 06/29/2005 City of Graf 06/03/2008 City of Holy Cross 11/09/2010 City of Luxemburg 12/07/2009 City of New Vienna 07/14/2009 City of Peosta 06/16/2009 City of Rickardsville 2003 City of Sageville 02/02/2007 City of Sherrill 05/29/2009 City of Worthington 07/09/2009 City of Zwingle 2002 Dubuque School District No plan Western Dubuque School District No plan Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 6 8/7/2012 CHAPTER 1: PLANNING PROCESS 44 CFR 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. 44CFR Requirement §201.6(a)(3): Multi- jurisdictional plans may be accepted, as appropriate, as long as each jurisdiction has participated in the process and has officially adopted the plan. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires all local governments to assess their risks to natural hazards and identify actions that can be taken in advance to reduce future losses. The law requires all local governments and districts to have an approved Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan after November 1, 2004, to be eligible for federal disaster assistance and hazard mitigation funding programs. To assist Dubuque County in the preparation of the mitigation plan, the State of Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division (IAHSEMD) (IDEM) awarded a contract to Dubuque County who in turn contracted with East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA). ECIA's role is to assist Dubuque County with the completion of a FEMA- approved multi - jurisdictional local hazard mitigation plan, meeting the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The State of Iowa determined that county -wide multi jurisdictional plans would be more effective tools that the single jurisdiction plans because several of the natural hazards are considered county -wide threats and affect more than one jurisdiction in a single event. Also, the uniformity of a multi jurisdictional plan will allow for better management and consistency. The Dubuque County Emergency Management Agency was the point of contact in developing this plan and to assist participating jurisdictions. ECIA has assisted by facilitating the planning process, collecting the necessary data from planning committee members and other sources as indicated throughout the plan, and performing other technical services, including preparation of the risk management assessment and plan document. ECIA and the Dubuque County Emergency Management Agency worked together to establish the framework and process for this planning effort using FEMA's Multi - Hazard Mitigation Planning Guidance under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (2004) and the State and Local Mitigation Planning How -To Guides (2001), which includes the Multi - Jurisdictional Mitigation Planning How -To Guide (2006). The plan is structured around a four -phase process: 1) Organize Resources 2) Assess Hazards and Risks 3) Develop a Mitigation Plan 4) Evaluate the Work The remainder of this chapter provides a narrative description of the steps taken to prepare the hazard mitigation plan. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 7 8/7/2012 1.1 Phase 1: Organize Resources Step 1: Get Organized It was determined at the onset, that this plan would be a multi jurisdictional plan with Dubuque County Emergency Management Agency serving as the contact agency. ECIA, in conjunction with Dubuque County EMA, sent out invitations for the kick -off meetings to all municipalities and special districts within the planning area as well as neighboring jurisdictions that could contribute to the planning process. Each jurisdiction that chose to participate in the planning process and development of the plan was required to meet strict plan participation requirements defined at the beginning of the process, which included the following: • Designate a representative to serve on the Dubuque County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) • Participate in HMPT meetings • Provide data and information to complete the plan, identify at least one mitigation action and complete action implementation worksheets • Review and comment on plan drafts • Inform the public, local officials, and other interested parties about the planning process and provide an opportunity for them to comment on the plan • Formally adopt the mitigation plan See Appendix A for a table that shows the attendance of representatives at each HMPT meeting. Step 2: Plan for Public Involvement 44 CFR Requirement 201.6(b): An open public involvement process is essential to the development of an effective plan. In order to develop a more comprehensive approach to reducing the effects of natural disasters, the planning process shall include: (1) An opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting state and prior to plan approval. At the initial kickoff meetings, attendees discussed methods that are routinely used to engage the public in Dubuque County. Examples included e-mail to parents of students in the public school districts and informational notes included on local utility bills. Many members of the group also suggested the use of websites and newsletters. During the drafting of the plan, HMPT members provided their constituents with information about the plan's progress including goals and objectives and the hazard ranking. The County placed Public Notices that the plan draft was available for review and comment at the Dubuque County Court House from July 1, 2012 to July 31, 2012. The announcements are provided in Appendix B. Step 3: Coordinate with Other Departments and Agencies Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 8 8/7/2012 44 CFR Requirement 201.6(b): An open public involvement process is essential to the development of an effective plan. In order to develop a more comprehensive approach to reducing the effects of natural disasters, the planning process shall include: (2) An opportunity for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities, and agencies that have the authority to regulate development, as well as businesses, academia, and other private and nonprofit interests to be involved in the planning process; (3) Review and incorporation, if appropriate, of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information. Involvement of Key Stakeholders Key federal, state, and local stakeholders were involved from the beginning of the process. Federal FEMA officials and State Agency Representatives were invited to HMPT meetings and offered the opportunity to provide input. Representatives from the surrounding Iowa counties of Dubuque, Jones, Linn, Buchanan, Fayette and Clayton were invited to attend the kickoff meetings as well as leaders from the public school districts. Existing Plans, Studies, Reports and Technical Information At each of the local meetings of the HMPT, members reviewed information of the local area, including dams, bridges, utility infrastructure and floodplain. Each community also reviewed previous Hazard Mitigation Plans, NCDC Data, Dubuque County Tax Assessor Records, and US Census Data as well as the State of Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan. Information from these plans and studies has been incorporated in the plan where appropriate. 1.2 Phase 2: Assess Hazards and Risk Step 4: Identify the Hazards ECIA assisted the HMPT in a process to identify the natural hazards that have or could impact communities in Dubuque County. The HMPT reviewed the 16 natural hazards that can occur in Iowa as indicated in the August 2007 State of Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan. Several factors, including The Great Flood of 2008 and several state disaster declarations influenced the creation of the parameters for multi jurisdictional plans that included focusing on 16 natural hazards rather than trying to cover too much information (such as man -made hazards that were sometimes assessed in previous plans and are often covered in community disaster plans). During the kickoff meetings, participants identified which hazards that have occurred, potentially could occur or are unlikely to occur within Dubuque County. Once the lists were compared and found equal, the HMPT determined that only those hazards that have occurred or potentially could occur would be further profiled and rated in the HM plan. Step 5: Profile the Hazards Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 9 8/7/2012 At the kickoff meetings, ECIA distributed data collection worksheets to be completed and shared by each member of the HMPT. This allowed for collection of information on historic hazard events that have impacted the planning area. In addition to the information provided by the HMPT, research was completed using the internet, existing reports and plans, and existing geographic information systems (GIS) layers to research past hazard events and determine the location, extent, magnitude, and future probability of all hazards identified in step 4 above. The individual hazard profiles can be found in Section 3. Step 6: Inventory of Assets Participating jurisdictions inventoried their assets at risk to natural hazards — overall and in identified hazard areas. During meetings with individual jurisdictions, the communities were asked to identify inventory of their specific assets. After profiling the hazards that could affect Dubuque County, the HMPT collected information to describe the likely impacts of future hazard events on the participating jurisdictions. This step included two parts: a vulnerability assessment and a capability assessment. Vulnerability Assessment — Participating jurisdictions inventoried their assets at risk to natural hazards — overall and in identified hazard areas. These assets included total number and value of structures; critical facilities and infrastructure; historic and cultural assets; economic assets; and vulnerable populations. The HMPT also analyzed development trends in hazard areas. FEMA's loss estimation computer software, HAZUS -MH was used to estimate potential losses due to a 100 -year flood in Dubuque County streams that receive drainage from 10 square miles or more. Capability Assessment — This assessment consisted of identifying the existing mitigation capabilities of participating jurisdictions. This involved collecting information about existing government programs, policies, regulations, ordinances, and plans that mitigate or could be used to mitigate risk to disasters. Participating jurisdictions collected information on their regulatory, personnel, fiscal, and technical capabilities, as well as ongoing initiatives related to interagency coordination and public outreach. This information is included in Chapter 3. Step 7: Estimate Losses Where sufficient information was available, a variety of methods was used to estimate losses for each profiled hazard that received a Priority 1 or Priority 2. For the flood hazard, FEMA's loss estimation computer software, HAZUS -MH was utilized to estimate losses in the planning area as a result of a 100 -year flood event. The methodology is described in detail for each hazard analysis that included a loss estimate. This information can be found in Section 3.2. Results of the risk assessment were presented and comments discussed at the meeting of the HMPT on June 5, 2012. 1.3 Phase 3: Develop the Mitigation Plan Step 8: Identify Goals and Objectives Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 10 8/7/2012 Once the HMPT had completed the tasks of profiling hazards and estimating their potential losses, goals were developed. During each meeting, the committee reviewed the results of the risk assessment, focusing on the key issues identified in Section 3.2 that focused on specific problems and trends and patterns identified through the review of previous hazard events. With the profiled hazards and their potential impacts in mind, the committee began a brainstorming session to identify the goals and objectives of the mitigation strategy for the planning area. After sharing ideas among the group, consensus was achieved on four goals. Detailed information on these goals and the associated objectives that were selected to steer the committee toward appropriate mitigation actions can be found in Section 4.3. Step 9: Develop Potential Mitigation Actions During the Goals and Objectives meeting of the HMPT, committee members were provided with example mitigation actions and asked to complete mitigation project worksheets at the meeting. Each committee member was encouraged to take the forms back to their constituents to discuss ongoing mitigation projects and future needs. At the final HMPT meeting, participants reviewed all the proposed projects and held a discussion regarding additional projects that might benefit Dubuque County. The potential projects were sorted into the appropriate goal and objective to ensure that each was covered by appropriate mitigation actions. The group utilized the STAPLEE criteria (Socially, Technically, Administratively, Politically, Legally, Economically and Environmentally rated benefits of a goal) to evaluate and rank each potential mitigation project. Each participating jurisdiction provided at least one, unique mitigation activity. There is at least one mitigation activity to support each goal and objective. The modified STAPLEE criteria form and a table showing the results of the STAPLEE analysis for each project can be found in Appendix C. 1.4 Phase 4: Evaluate the Work Step 10: Draft of the Mitigation Plan A complete draft of the plan was made available on the Dubuque County website for review and comment by the public and other agencies and interested stakeholders from July 1 — 31, 2012. Methods for inviting interested parties and the public to review and comment on the plan were discussed in Steps 2 and 3. Comments were integrated into a final draft for submittal to the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division (HSEMD) and FEMA Region VII. Step 11: Adopt the Plan To secure buy -in and officially implement the plan, the governing bodies of each participating jurisdiction adopted the plan. Scanned copies of resolutions of adoption are included in Appendix D. Step 12: Implement and Maintain the Plan Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 11 8/7/2012 The HMPT developed and agreed upon an overall strategy for plan implementation and for monitoring and maintaining the plan over time during the June 5, 2012 meeting. This strategy is described in Chapter 5. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 12 8/7/2012 CHAPTER 2: PLANNING AREA DESCRIPTIONS & CAPABILITIES 2.1 Dubuque County Planning Area History The population of Dubuque County was 93,653 in the 2010 census, an increase from 89,143 in the 2000 census. The county seat is the city of Dubuque. Dubuque County is coterminous with the Dubuque, Iowa Metropolitan Statistical Area, and is the seventh largest county by population in the state. It is named for Julien Dubuque, the first European settler of Iowa. It is one of Iowa's two original counties along with Des Moines County; both were organized by the Michigan Territorial legislature in 1834. The city of Dubuque was chartered in 1833 as the first city in Iowa. Geography According to the 2000 census, the county has a total area of 616.56 square miles, of which 608.16 square miles (or 98.64 %) is land and 8.41 square miles (or 1.36 %) is water. The county seat is Dubuque, Iowa, which is located along the Mississippi River in the east - central portion of the county. Eastern Dubuque County is markedly different from the western portion in that its topography is very uneven. The city of Dubuque and surrounding areas adjacent to the Mississippi River have many steep hills, bluffs, and ravines. Also, the eastern portion is more heavily wooded than the west, which is mostly rolling farmland. Dubuque County is widely -known for its impressive bluffs along the Mississippi River, which run along the entire length of the county's riverbanks. These form part of Iowa's Coulee Region, otherwise known as the Driftless Area. During the last ice age, much of the Mississippi Valley near Dubuque County was bypassed by glacial flows, which flattened the surrounding land in eastern Illinois, Wisconsin, and western Iowa, leaving the Driftless Area unusually rugged.

Major rivers in Dubuque include: Mississippi River; Catfish Creek; South Fork, Middle Fork, and North Fork Catfish Creek; Little Maquoketa River. Dubuque County is mostly a dissected upland per the US Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey of Dubuque County. Dubuque County lies in the east central portion of the county bordering the Mississippi River on the east. The US Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Dubuque constructed a floodwall along the Mississippi River in the early 1970s that has greatly reduced flood damage caused directly from the Mississippi River. However, its tributaries continue to cause concern. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has defined these areas in the Dubuque County Flood Insurance Study completed in 1989. An updated study was adopted October 18, 2011. 2.2 Jurisdictional Descriptions and Capabilities Unincorporated Dubuque County Description of community The unincorporated areas of Dubuque County are primarily agricultural based. The topography varies through the County and the associated land capabilities drive the type of farm -based enterprises that operate in a given location. Dubuque County is located in the northeastern part of Iowa, where the borders of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois meet, separated by the Mississippi River. The County is bordered by Jackson and Jones counties on the south, Delaware County on the west, and Clayton County on the north. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 14 8/7/2012 Numerous major US and state highways run through Dubuque County. The City of Dubuque is the major hub for the four -lane US Highway 20 that runs east west through Dubuque County extending into Iowa and Illinois. Four -lane US Highway 61 extends north south from the City of Dubuque and extending into Wisconsin on the north and to the Quad Cities and beyond to the south. Four -lane US Highway 151 extends from the City of Dubuque and into Wisconsin on the north and to Cedar Rapids and beyond to the southwest. US Highway 52 runs north -south generally following the Mississippi River and extending north from Dubuque County through Iowa into Minnesota and to the south through Bellevue and Sabula before entering into Illinois. Land Use and Development Trends Dubuque County contains a land area of 617 square miles, or 391,680 acres. The County has 17 townships and 21 incorporated cities, the most incorporated cities of any other county in Iowa. The City of Dubuque is the county seat and is located on the east edge of the county along the west bank of the Mississippi River. Dubuque County is ranked as the 7th most populated county in Iowa. The population for the County as of the 2010 census was 93,653. There are 3 four -lane highways that provide access into the county: US Highway 20, US Highway 151 and US Highway 61 South. Additionally, there are two main two -lane highways that provide access into and around the county: US Highway 52 and Iowa Highway 136 which is on the west end of the county. These five highways provide access to three - quarters of the cities in the County. The Dubuque Regional Airport is located in the County, south of the City of Dubuque. It is accessed by US Highway 61 South and is undergoing a $40 million renovation for a new terminal and access road. There are seven county parks, six preserves and one state park and one preserve in the County. The County also operates one golf course and maintains 26 miles of a hike and bike trail called Heritage Trail that was part of an old abandoned railroad right of way. Flooding occurs frequently in the County and affects mostly farm fields, roads and bridges, including bridges along the Heritage Trail. These floods can be very costly so some of the old railroad bridges along Heritage Trail have been replaced by newer designs that allow the water to flow more freely and reduce flood damage. Agricultural The County's primary land use is agricultural and is found throughout the unincorporated areas of the County. The topography ranges from gently undulating relief in the southwest portion of the County, to hilly and steep relief in the north and eastern portions of the County. Along the Mississippi River and its tributaries, the topography is very steep and rugged, with high limestone bluffs and outcrops. Much of this area containing the steep terrain is heavily wooded. The steep landscape has restricted development and farming activities to some extent. About 20% of the single family homes that have recently been built in the County have been placed on agricultural land. Residential Residential development in the County's unincorporated areas have generally occurred according to previously established development patterns and most recently is following the Future Land Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 15 8/7/2012 Use Development Map. Residential uses are primarily located near incorporated cities, along major highway and roadway corridors and are found in clusters up and down the Mississippi River. Most of the new residential growth in the County is occurring within 2 -4 miles of the City of Dubuque and near the larger cities in the county, such as Cascade, Dyersville, Epworth, Farley and the fastest growing city in the state, Peosta. Commercial Commercial development is located mostly along the highway corridors with most of the commercial uses found along US Highways 151 and 61 south from the City of Dubuque to the Airport, along US Highway 20 from the Dubuque City limits to Peosta and along US Highway 52 from the City of Dubuque to Mud Lake Road. Some new commercial development is occurring in the flood plain along the Couler Valley and Little Maquoketa River north of the City of Dubuque. Property owners are filling in the old barrow pits along Highway 52 North that are in the flood plain and then marketing the property for new commercial and industrial uses. The County is looking into amending the Flood Plain Management Ordinance to restrict the filling in of flood plain and to reduce the occurrence of flooding in that area and in the County as a whole. Industrial Industrial uses in Dubuque County are primarily located in three areas around the City of Dubuque. The first area is to the south along Highways 52, 151 and 61. New development is occurring in Tamarak Park and near the airport. Another industrial area is located west of the City of Dubuque along Highway 20. This area is mostly developed from the Dubuque city limits to Peosta. The third area is along Highway 52 North in the Couler Valley and Little Maquoketa River outlet to the Mississippi River. John Deere Dubuque is located just outside the flood plain of the Little Maquoketa River. Over the last few years, Flood Plain Permits have been issued for filling in the flood plain along Highway 52 North. Some older more established businesses are seeing flooding in the Couler Valley watershed that have not flooded before. New development will occur along this corridor until the Flood Plain Management Ordinance is amended to restrict filling in and development of the flood plain in this area. Both the South and West commercial and industrial corridors will be affected by the proposed four -lane highway, the Southwest Arterial that will be built in the next 10 -15 years between US Highways 151/61 and US Highway 20. Residential, commercial and industrial development is expected to occur from the city limits on the southwest side of the City of Dubuque to beyond the Southwest Arterial after the new highway is built. This change in land use will be put into the Future Land Use Development Map at some future date as construction of the highway is nearing completion. Comprehensive Land Use Development Plan and Map Dubuque County's Comprehensive Land Use Development Plan and Map is the community's guide to future development of the unincorporated areas of Dubuque County. The development plan and map guide development decisions made by the Board of Supervisors. The Comprehensive Land Use Development Plan is not an ordinance. It contains the long -range goals and objectives for the County that was compiled after several public meetings and hearings to determine a community vision for the future of Dubuque County. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 16 8/7/2012 The first Comprehensive Plan for the County was adopted on January 21, 1969 and was recently updated and readopted on September 23, 2002. Dubuque County will continue to use the plan to shape policies and land use decisions where county government has authority and influence. The Comprehensive Plan is being updated in 2011 -2012 to incorporate the 10 Smart Planning Principles and 13 Comprehensive Planning Elements adopted by the State of Iowa during their last legislative session. This update should further protect property in the County from flood hazards since that will be a focus of the new update. The elements of the current Comprehensive Plan include: - Planning and Land Use Development - Natural, Environmental and Resource Management - Public Facilities and Services - Transportation - Future Land Use Development Map Technical and Fiscal Resources Revenues for governmental uses flow primarily from property taxes collected. There is a local sales tax that generates revenues for road and street departments. Government services are organized by the followed elected officials: Board of Supervisors (3); Sheriff, Recorder, Treasurer, Auditor and County Attorney (1 each). Dubuque County's roads are developed and maintained by the County Engineer's Office and staff. Other recreation facilities and opportunities are organized and provided by the Dubuque County Conservation Department and staff.

Dubuque Description of community The city of Dubuque is located on the Mississippi River in northeast Iowa adjacent to the states of Illinois and Wisconsin. Iowa's oldest city, Dubuque was established in 1833. The city currently has a land area of 31.06 square miles and a 2010 census population of 57,686. As the largest city in the tri -state area, Dubuque serves as the major retail, medical, education and employment center for the tri -state area estimated at 250,000 people. The community has a stable and diversified manufacturing base, a growing service sector, and a significant increase in technology based companies. Dubuque also has key employment in publishing, health care, tourism and education. Tourism continues to be a major economic force with over 1.5 million visitors annually. Land Use and Development Trends In the early 1900s, most of Dubuque was located below the bluff lines in the historic floodplain carved by the Mississippi River between the limestone bluffs. The Mississippi River was the focus of the community, primarily as a transportation artery. Most of the city's key industries were located adjacent to or near the river. Rail lines served as conduit to the rest of the nation, concentrated in areas near the Mississippi River. The city's commercial hub was concentrated along Main Street, populated by the giants of the retail industry at the time. Residential development also was concentrated below the bluffs, although an increasing number of homes and institutions were built west on the bluff tops in areas heading to the north, south and west. The town had distinct geographic areas defined not only by prominent land forms but also ethnic concentrations. The city's development pattern did not substantially change until the 1950s and 1960s, when, like much of America, Dubuque entered an era of growth and prosperity that fueled substantial changes to development patterns which saw the decline of Main Street as the commercial core of the city, and the rise of the John F. Kennedy Road corridor and Kennedy Mall as the primary commercial shopping area. Long -time industries along the riverfront closed or relocated to the west end. Hundreds of new housing units were constructed in suburban development patterns on the west and north edges of Dubuque. This pattern of westward expansion for industry, commercial and residential development continued until the 1980s. The community then worked to expand and diversify its local economy, and to obtain transportation and communication connections with the nation and the world; through these efforts, the development and pattern of Dubuque again began to change significantly. New highway construction provided Dubuque with better connectivity to the large Midwestern cities and the interstate highway system. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 24 8/7/2012 The City of Dubuque has annexed thousands of acres since 2000 to provide opportunities for additional residential, commercial and industrial growth. Additional local industries were relocated to new industrial parks developed on the city's south and west ends during the 1990s and new residential developments began on the south side of the city as well as the west end. With construction of the Northwest Arterial (Highway 32) the new commercial retail center shifted to Asbury Plaza Shopping Center. In addition to extending City services for new industrial parks, Dubuque has maintained its commitment to neighborhood and downtown revitalization. As part of the city's economic rebirth, the community also looked back to a long - neglected attribute — its historic architecture. Downtown became the center for financial, insurance and other service oriented commercial uses, and then for arts, culture, and entertainment. The riverfront was dramatically transformed from industrial brownfields to an area for recreation and entertainment with the redevelopment of the Port of Dubuque beginning in 2000. There has been a continuing trend of redevelopment in the downtown and surrounding commercial and residential areas, such as the Washington and North End Neighborhoods and the historic Dubuque Millwork District. Technical and Fiscal Resources The community of Dubuque is a metropolitan service area for seven surrounding counties. Dubuque is connected by four -lane highways to Davenport, Des Moines, Madison and Minneapolis. The majority of the way to Chicago is also four -lane highway. The City's annual operating and capital budget is over $181 million and funds a full range of municipal services. The City has more than 680 FTE employees. The City of Dubuque provides public safety, public works, health, engineering, cultural, recreation, community development, housing, planning, zoning, inspection, community and economic development services to its citizens. The City provides water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, solid waste collection, parking (ramps, lots and meters), transit, civic center, convention center, golf course, parks, pools, trails, cable TV programming, public library and airport operations. The City operates the sanitary landfill with Dubuque County. The City's web site is www.cityofdubuque.org. Existing Plans and Policies Dubuque's first Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1936. The Comprehensive Plan is Dubuque's principal guide for future development, public policies and decision making. The current plan was adopted in 1995, and then updated in 2002 and again in 2008. The City's 2001 Drainage Basin Master Plan is a planning study that identifies a generalized area that appears to be at risk from storm sewer backups or overflows. The Drainage Basin Master Plan was intended to address storm sewer conveyance problems — not flooding associated with a creek or river. Storm water system improvements are funded in part by a local stormwater utility. The previous Hazard Mitigation Plan was approved in 2011 and was updated to incorporate into the Multi- Jurisdictional Plan. The City is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program. Other Mitigation Activities Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 25 8/7/2012 The 1965 Mississippi River flood was the great motivator to build Dubuque's floodwall and levee system. The River rose to a record 26.8 feet, flooding downtown and causing millions of dollars in damage. The $12.5 million flood control project was begun in 1968, and completed in time to prevent flooding from the 1973 flood which crested at 21.9 feet. The floodwall system includes 5 miles of earthen levees and 1.4 miles of concrete walls that provide 30 -foot flood stage protection with a 3 -foot freeboard. FEMA certified Dubuque's floodwall and levee system in 2011 as providing protection from the 100 -year flood. Dubuque was the first community in Iowa to join the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) on April 2, 1971. The City has regulated floodplain development since 1990. Dubuque has been very conscientious in following the NFIP requirements. The city has never approved a variance from the NFIP requirements. The City has not allowed a single new residential structure to be built in any flood hazard area. The only new structures built in flood hazard areas have been commercial structures elevated and /or flood proofed in compliance with the NFIP requirements. The City of Dubuque adopted revised floodplain development regulations in 2011 based on the latest digital flood insurance rate maps (DFIRMs) and flood insurance study (FIS) prepared for the community by FEMA. The history of localized street flooding and basement flooding experienced in the North End of Dubuque (dating from the late 1800s) is the focus of drainage basin improvements like the Bee Branch Creek Restoration Project. This multi -year project replaces an underground storm sewer with an open waterway and other public amenities, reducing the risk of flood damage to 1,150 properties and improving water quality in some of Dubuque's oldest neighborhoods. The City also has installed upstream storm water management facilities to alleviate problems with the storm water system such as the Carter Road dam and 32nd Street detention areas that address existing storm water issues. The City of Dubuque participated with all other cities and school districts within Dubuque County as a member of the Iowa Mutual Aid Compact (IMAC). IMAC is established in Iowa Code Section 29C.22. See Appendix I for ongoing mitigation activities. Durango Description of community The population as of the 2010 census was 22. The City of Durango is located in the northwestern part of Dubuque County on Highways 52 and 3. It is approximately 6 miles north of Dubuque. Land Use and Development Trends The City of Durango does not have a Comprehensive Land Use Plan and there have been no subdivisions or land annexations.

Dyersville Description of community The 2010 population of the City of Dyersville was 4,058. The City of Dyersville, founded in 1847, is located in Delaware and Dubuque Counties directly off of US Highway 20. Land Use and Development Trends Early development within Dyersville grew around the North Fork Maquoketa River and along First Avenue (old US Highway 20). As the City grew and the highway was relocated to the south edge of the City, residential development spread to the east and north and the commercial development grew along the north edge of US Highway 20 and adjoining State Highway 136. Development trends continue to move away from the floodplain area. In recent development, a new subdivision and school have been approved on the west side of Dyersville, while a two - phase residential subdivision on the north side of the city is in process. Also, south of US Highway 20 another residential subdivision has been approved. The City adopted a zoning ordinance, including floodplain regulations in November 1977. The City continues to enforce the floodplain provisions and is in the process of updating the ordinance. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 27 8/7/2012 The 1999, 2002 and 2008 floods resulted in the City pursuing federal funds for the acquisition and demolition of flood - damaged properties. All properties were located in the 100 -year floodplain that is generally west of the North Fork Maquoketa River and extends from approximately five blocks south of First Avenue to the north edge of the City. Damaged properties included residential and commercial properties. Initially the 1999 application requested funds for all properties in the floodplain. Upon review and discussion with the Iowa Emergency Management Division staff, the application was reduced to include 13 flood damaged properties. Through a grant and follow -up amendments, the City acquired 8 properties and received additional funds in 2003 to acquire four more properties through that program. (Note: One property was later added to the original application due to structural damage occurring one year after the flood and two owners withdrew from the application.) A June 2002 flood resulted in a follow -up application for additional funding to acquire properties that were damaged in 2002. While the impacts of this flood were diminished in that 8 structures were removed from the floodplain prior to this flood, the application included an additional 45 damaged properties. Due to funding limitations, the application was revised to 34 properties. The City received funding to acquire and demolish 8 flood - damaged properties. From the June 2008 flood, 37 applicants were identified. Following the 2010 flood, no new applicants were identified; however, several applicants previously identified in 2008 opted to take the buyout. Comprehensive Land Use Plan The City of Dyersville has a Comprehensive Land Use Plan that was first adopted in 1962, and it was updated in 1974 and 1975 as the Comprehensive Development Plan for Dyersville, Iowa Planning Area. The Comprehensive Development Plan is a long -range plan intended to guide the growth and development of the community through analysis, recommendations and proposals of a community's basic elements of population, economy, housing, transportation, community facilities and land use. Each element in turn will contain goals and objectives establishing the direction and ideas to which the comprehensive plan is intended to satisfy. The plan is currently in the process of being updated. Description of Land Uses The City of Dyersville's current land uses are residential, commercial, industrial, recreational open space and conservation, institutional and agricultural.

Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 42 8/7/2012 3 Risk Assessment 44 CFR Requirement §201.6 (c )(2): [The plan shall include] A risk assessment that provides the factual basis for activities proposed in the strategy to reduce losses from identified hazards. Local risk assessments must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards. Risk to natural hazards is a combination of hazard, vulnerability, and capability. This chapter examines hazards and vulnerability. Jurisdictional annexes to the plan discuss the capabilities for each of the participating jurisdictions as well as the hazards and vulnerability particular to their area. The risk assessment process identifies and profiles relevant hazards and assesses the exposure of lives, property, and infrastructure to these hazards. The goal of the risk assessment is to estimate the potential loss for Dubuque County, including loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and economic loss, from a hazard event. The risk assessment process allows communities in Dubuque County to better understand their potential risk to natural hazards and provides a framework for developing and prioritizing mitigation actions to reduce risk from future hazard events. The risk assessment for Dubuque County and its jurisdictions followed the methodology described in the FEMA publication 386 -2, Understanding Your Risks: Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses (2002), which included a four -step process: 1. Identifying Hazards 2. Profile Hazard Events 3. Inventory Assets 4. Estimate Losses This chapter is divided into three parts: hazard identification, hazard profiles, and vulnerability assessment: • Section 3.1 Hazard Identification identifies the hazards that threaten the planning area and describes why some hazards have been omitted from further consideration. • Section 3.2 Hazard Profiles discusses the threat to the planning area and describes previous occurrences of hazard events and the probability of future occurrence. • Section 3.3 Vulnerability Assessment assesses the County's 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. This section includes steps 3 and 4 from above. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 43 8/7/2012 3.1 Hazard Identification Requirement §201.6(c )(i): [The risk assessment shall include a] description of the type...of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. 3.1.1. Methodology The Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) reviewed hazard specific data from a variety of sources, and discussed the impacts of each of the hazards required by FEMA for consideration, which are listed alphabetically below: 1. Dam Failure 2. Drought 3. Earthquake 4. Expansive Soil 5. Extreme Heat 6. Flash Flood 7. Grass or Wild Land Fire 8. Hailstorm 9. Landslide 10. Levee Failure 11. River Flood 12. Severe Winter Storm 13. Sinkhole 14. Thunderstorm & Lightning 15. Tornado 16. Windstorm Data on the past impacts and future probability of these hazards in the Dubuque County planning area was collected from the following sources: • State of Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan (2010) • Information on past extreme weather and climate events from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) • Federal Disaster Declarations from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) • USDA Farm Service Agency Disaster Declarations • Various articles and publications available on the internet (sources are indicated where data is cited) and information obtained from HMPT members and their constituents. • Existing single jurisdiction hazard mitigation plans. The HMPT eliminated some hazards from further profiling because they do not occur in the planning area or their impacts were not considered significant in relation to other hazards. Table 3.1A lists these hazards and provides a brief explanation for their elimination. Table 3.1A Hazards Not Profiled in the Plan Hazard Reason Eliminated Earthquake Unlikely to occur in this region. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 44 8/7/2012 Expansive Soils 1 Are not found in area. The HMPT identified 14 hazards that significantly affect the planning area and organized these hazards to be consistent with the Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan (2007). Eight of the 14 hazards are considered to be, by the Dubuque County HMPT, county -wide concerns and were rated as "Has Occurred" or "Could Occur ". They are: • Drought • Extreme Heat • Grass or Wild Land Fire • Hailstorm • Severe Winter Storms • Thunderstorm & Lightning • Tornado • Windstorm These hazards are profiled in further detail in the next section. All other man -made hazards are addressed in the Dubuque County Emergency Operations Plan and appropriate annexes. Table 3.1B lists the six hazards that are addressed by each jurisdiction in the plan and indicate the hazard identified for the unincorporated county as well as each incorporated city as having occurred or could occur. This analysis method ensures that all of the land area in the planning area is considered. For the school districts, colleges, and other special districts, their boundaries, assets, and facilities overlap city and county boundaries. To determine the hazards that impact specific assets within these other jurisdictional boundaries, refer to the county or city in which the assets are located. Table 3.1B Additional Hazards Addressed in the Dubuque County Hazard Mitigation Plan Specific to Jurisdiction The HMPT also ranked the six hazards that were considered to be site specific, using the same resources available to them. When a jurisdiction had a plan that was less than a year old, the HMPT agreed to use the previous scores and roll them into the multi jurisdiction plan.

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 provisions of federal assistance. The federal government may issue a disaster declaration through FEMA, the US 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. A USDA disaster declaration certifies that the affected county has suffered at least a 30 percent loss in one or more crop or livestock areas and provides affected producers with access to low- interest loans and other programs to help mitigate the impact of the disaster. In accordance with the Consolidate Farm and Rural Development Act, all counties neighboring those receiving disaster declarations are named as contiguous disaster counties and, as such, are eligible for the same assistance. Table 3.1.2 lists federal disaster and USDA declarations received by Dubuque County in the past 10 years. Many of the disaster events were regional or statewide; therefore, reported costs are not accurate reflections of losses to Dubuque County and are not included.

The plan shall include information on previous occurrences of hazard events and on the probability of future hazard events. 3.2.1 Methodology Each hazard identified in Section 3.1 Hazard Identification is profiled individually in this section. 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 Dubuque County. The sources used to collect information for these profiles include those mentioned in Section 3.1.1 as well as those cited individually in each hazard section. This plan includes detailed profiles for each of the identified hazards which are categorized into sections, as shown below. Hazard Description A Hazard Description is a general description of the hazard and the type of impact it may have on a community. It includes a ranking to indicate typical warning times and duration of hazard events. Definitions for these rankings are included in Table 3.4 Geographic Location Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 47 8/7/2012 This section offers a description of the geographic extent of location of the hazard in the planning area. Where available, maps are utilized to indicate the areas of the planning area that are vulnerable to the subject hazard. Historical Occurrences Information on historic incidents and their impacts based upon the sources described in Section 3.1 Hazard identification, and the information provided by the HMPT. Probability of Future Occurrence The frequency of past events used to gauge the likelihood of future occurrences. Where possible, the probability or chance of occurrence was calculated based on historical data. Probability was determined by dividing the number of events observed by the number of years and multiplying by 100. This gives the percent chance of the event happening in any given year. However, due to general inconsistencies in local event reporting to the National Climatic Data Center, the final probability was determined by the HMPT based on local data and their expertise and familiarity with the planning area. Vulnerability Vulnerability measures the percentage of people that will be adversely affected by the occurrence of the hazard. Maximum Threat Maximum threat rates the potential spatial extent of the impacted area. Rankings were based on historic data and HMPT expertise. Severity of Impact The magnitude of the impact of a hazard event (past and perceived) is related directly to the vulnerability of the people, property, and the environment it affects. This is a function of when the event occurs, the location impacted, the resilience of the community, and the effectiveness of the overall emergency response and disaster recovery efforts. Speed of Onset Speed of Onset is calculated by the rating of the amount of warning time that is available before the hazard occurs. Hazard Profile Worksheet Total This final category is the sum of the previous six and helped the HMPT to determine and overall ranking of hazards of concern in the county. The highest total equates to the Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 48 8/7/2012 hazard of most concern, while the lowest total would be applied to the hazard of the least concern for Dubuque County.

When this occurred, the Planning Team consulted NCDC data and local memories, and decided which hazard should be placed higher in priority. Once each of the eight identified hazards had been assessed, scored and ranked, the next step for the Dubuque County Planning Team was to prioritize the eight hazards into one of three categories to provide guidance in the establishment of goals, objectives, timetables and mitigation alternatives. Table 3.2D: Hazard Priority Lists for Countywide Hazards Priority Group 1 Priority Group 2 Priority Group 3 j Severe Winter Storm Hailstorm Drought Windstorm Grass or Wild Land Fire Thunderstorm & Lightning Extreme Heat Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 51 8/7/2012 Tornado The Priority Group 1 Hazards are candidates for immediate focus in the emergency plan because of their high risk. Priority Group 2 hazards are those that have a known risk, but their focus in the plan will have mitigation activities in the next 1 -3 years. Those noted in Priority Group 3 have an acceptable level of risk and will not be addressed further. No action items were formulated to address Group 3 hazards. Each participating jurisdiction independently ranked the six hazards that are considered to vary from city to city. The six hazards are: dam failure, flash flood, landslide, levee failure, river flood and sinkholes. In Table 3.2E below, the six hazards are identified as having occurred or having the potential to occur, along with their risk analysis score on a scale of 6 - 24, or with a UNL for unlikely to occur. The hazards were ranked as either "unlikely to occur" (UNL) or given numerical scores using the Hazard Risk Analysis Ranking system.

While levees are built solely for flood protection, dams often serve multiple purposes, one of which may be flood control. Severe flooding and other storms can increase the potential that dams and levees will be damaged and fail as a result of the physical force of the flood waters or overtopping. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 53 8/7/2012 Dams and levees are usually engineered to withstand a flood with a computed risk of occurrence. If a larger flood occurs, then that structure will likely be overtopped. If during the overtopping, the dam or levee fails or is washed out, the water behind is released as a flash flood and with levee failure, the area of residual risk may be inundated. Failed dams or levees can create floods that are catastrophic to life and property, in part because of the tremendous energy of the released water. • High Hazard Dam: (also known as a Class C dam) a dam located in an area where failure could result in any of the following: extensive loss of life, damage to more than one home, damage to industrial or commercial facilities, interruption of a public utility serving a large number of customers, damage to traffic on high - volume roads that meet the requirements for hazard class C darns or a high- volume railroad line, inundation of a frequently used recreation facility serving a relatively large number of persons, or two or more individual hazards described for significant hazard dams (hazard class B dams). • Significant Hazard Dam: (also known as a Class B dam) a dam located in an area where failure could endanger a few lives, damage an isolated home, damage traffic on moderate volume roads that meet certain requirements, damage low - volume railroad tracks, interrupt the use or service of a utility serving a small number of customers, or inundate recreation facilities, including campground areas intermittently used for sleeping and serving a relatively small number of persons. • Low Hazard Dam: (also known as a Class A dam) a dam located in an area where failure could damage only farm or other uninhabited buildings, agricultural or undeveloped land including hiking trails, or traffic on low- volume roads that meet the requirements for low hazard dams. Dam failures can result from any one or a combination of the following causes: • Prolonged periods of rainfall and flooding, which causes most failures; • Inadequate spillway capacity, resulting in excess overtopping of flows; • Internal erosion caused by embankment or foundation leakage or piping; • Improper maintenance, including failure to remove trees, repair internal seepage problems, replace lost material from the cross section of the dam and abutments; • Improper design, including the use of improper construction materials and construction practices; • Negligent operation, including failure to remove or open gates or valves during high flow periods; • Failure of upstream dams on the same waterway; • Landslides into reservoirs, which cause surges that result in overtopping; • High winds, which can cause significant wave action and result in substantial erosion; and • Earthquakes, which typically cause longitudinal cracks at the tops of embankments and weaken entire structures. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 54 8/7/2012 In general, warning time depends on the causal factors. Dam failure can occur in as little as a few minutes, or more slowly over the course of many months. In the event of a catastrophic failure of a large dam, evacuation time for locations directly downstream would be extremely brief Floodplain characteristics largely determine the available warning time for locations further downstream. Duration of high water conditions that result from dam failure depends on the capacity and stage of the reservoir at time of breach as well as the severity of the breach. Warning time and duration of levee failure is generally shorter than dam failure. Geographic Location Dams City of Dubuque There are no dams with a permanent pool of water that would impact the City of Dubuque. However, there are multiple storm -water detention basins within the city that are classified as dams as they will impound storm -water during heavy rains. The regional Carter Road Detention Basin is classified by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources as a high - hazard dam because if it should fail it could "lead to the loss of human life or result in serious damage to residential, industrial or commercial areas, important public utilities, public buildings, or major transportation facilities." Construction of the detention basin was completed in 2003. The City inspects the facility on an annual basis and after each heavy rain. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources inspects the facility every other year. Their last inspection was in 2009. The regional W. 32nd Street Detention Basin is classified by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources as a moderate - hazard dam because "failure may damage isolated homes or cabins, industrial or commercial buildings, moderately traveled roads or railroads, interrupt major utility services, but without substantial risk of loss of human life." Construction of the detention basin was completed in 2009. The City inspects the facility on an annual basis and after each heavy rain. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources inspects the facility every other year. Their last inspection was in 2009. Levees City of Cascade The North Fork of the Maquoketa River flows through the City of Cascade between Filmore and Pierce Streets. Several small ephemeral streams flow through the community into the North Fork of the Maquoketa River. In 1925, the City of Cascade experienced a Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 55 8/7/2012 catastrophic and unprecedented flood following cloudbursts. Property damage was estimated at $500,000. The area that received the most damage is located southward along Johnson Street. According to a 1992 FEMA Flood Insurance Study of the City of Cascade, Dubuque and Jones Counties, the following flood protection measures were taken: Upstream of the US Highway 151 Bridge, levees were constructed on both banks; downstream of the bridge, a levee was built only on the west bank, since the east bank was sufficiently high. Portions of the levee have been sandbagged during high -flow conditions. The levee on the west bank of the river, upstream of the bridge, is responsible for protecting the highly developed saddle -like area that was damaged in the 1925 flood. In April 1990, the Rock Island District COE inspected and evaluated the existing condition of the city's flood - control project under Public Law 84 -99. Based upon the results of the field inspection and the evaluation, the overall condition of the levee in the City of Cascade is rated unacceptable. The levee crown was rated at approximately a 10- year frequency. Based on the 1990 COE inspection and evaluation, the City of Cascade completed two installments of levees. In 1999 -2000, the City constructed a levee on the south portion of the west bank of the river and the second portion was installed in fall 2011. The Corps of Engineers inspects annually and makes recommendations; however, the second extension has not yet been tested as there have been no heavy rains since it was constructed. This portion of the levee was locally funded. In 2009, rip rap and rocks were put in to stabilize the north side of the western back bank as well. The bank on the north end is not completely rip- rapped and is only an earthen levee due to funding. Downstream from the bend in the North Fork of the Maquoketa River is rip- rapped, which is where the force of the water is greatest. The City of Cascade looks to complete the project as soon as funding is available. City of Dubuque No events of levee failure in Dubuque have occurred since the completion of its 6.4 mile long earthen and concrete levee in 1973. The levee was designed and constructed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, which also inspects the levee every year. The levee protects almost all of the city of Dubuque from Mississippi River flooding to an elevation of 615.47 msl (river state 30.0'). Only Dubuque's Chaplain Schmitt Island and Catfish Creek valley lie outside the protection of Dubuque's floodwall levee. The levee has withstood river crests as high as 611.93 msl (river state 26.46'). It is the concerted opinion of Corps and City engineers that "overtopping" at some time in the future is a more likely scenario than levee failure. FEMA certified Dubuque's floodwall and levee system in 2011. The City had set aside funding in 2010 for a study to identify actions that could be taken in the event of a levee Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 56 8/7/2012 failure that might reduce the flood limits and reduce both public and private property damage.

Certainly, Eastern Iowa has experienced numerous flood events and loss of millions of dollars in property and crop damage over the past 25 years. Last year, 2011, was a record year for flood events in Iowa that exceeded all measurement tools. There are several different types of potential flood events in Dubuque County including riverine, flash flooding and urban storm water. Flash flooding can best be characterized as an event occurring with little or no warning time 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. Flash flooding also occurs in areas that are not necessarily adjacent to bodies of water, but instead are lower -lying areas in which precipitation runs off and /or accumulates. 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 waters 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. Floods are the most common and widespread of all- natural disasters except fire. The National Climatic Data Center lists 67 flood events in Dubuque County from January 1, 1950 through September 30, 2011. NCDC cites more than $188 million in damages in Dubuque County in that same 61 year span. See Appendix E for further information on NCDC data regarding flooding in Dubuque County. Flash Flood was identified by several participating communities in Dubuque County, as well as the unincorporated areas, as being a hazard of concern. In 2011, the City of Sageville experienced more than $2.2 million in damage due to flash flood. Some communities, for example, Rickardsville, who have no rivers nearby still have problems with water in basements and flash flooding in low -lying areas of the city. All jurisdictions to some degree have had some problem with flooding in the past 25 years. Riverine Flooding caused by rivers, creeks and other tributaries overtopping their banks due to large amounts of precipitation, was also identified as being a risk to several of the Dubuque County jurisdictions. See information specific to each city in sections for the city. The summer floods result from above normal precipitation over an extended period of time and /or extremely heavy rainfall. Those occurring over the extended wet weather allow for several days to possibly two weeks' notice of floods. Those occurring after extremely heavy rainfalls typically result in advance warning of less than 24 hours. Damages from summer floods may include any property as heavy rains of this magnitude create heavy Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 60 8/7/2012 ground saturation and commonly flood basements. Depending on the month and maturity of crops, they may cause significant crop damages as well. Spring floods typically result from the rapidly melting of snow and rain, and typically are forecast well in advance. The National Weather Service provides advance flood estimates as much as a month in advance. However, these forecasts may be revised with unanticipated temperatures and/or rainfall. Spring floods typically result in "repeat" property damages, which are properties that receive similar damage from every flood of significance, and delay the planting of crops, or damage early crops. In July 2010, Dubuque County experienced severe flooding. The City of Durango reported heavy downpours, thunder and lightning. According to the HMPT, there are lots of options for water ways to flood in the City of Durango. Water came over Highway 52 and the worst came from the north, from the area of the City of Sherrill and "raged" down Highway 52. As water carne over the highway, it poured into doors and into homes. There were twelve houses in Durango and 3 or 4 of those are presently considering FEMA buyouts. According to residents of Durango who participated on the Planning Team, three of the creeks are filling in as the floods bring soil through. The waterways are not as deep or wide and consequently, flooding occurs more easily. Historically, the Mississippi River has flooded the City of Dubuque's low -lying riverfront properties many times over the last 150 years. After the record flood of 1965, a concerted effort by local, state, and federal officials to construct a protective levee system was initiated. Finally completed in 1973, the 6.4 mile long earthen and concrete floodwall system has protected Dubuque from numerous Mississippi River flood events since. Those flood events include four of the ten highest flood crests ever measured, including Dubuque's second highest ever crest of 25.40 feet in 2001. Only Dubuque's Chaplain Schmitt Island and Catfish Creek valley lie outside the protection of Dubuque's floodwall. The City of Dyersville has a long history of dealing with flash and river flood events. The City submitted two 404 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program applications to the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division ( HSEMD) in Des Moines, IA, the first in 1999 and the second in 2002. The initial 1999 application consisted of the acquisition and demolition of all properties located in the 100 -year floodplain and was revised to include 13 flood damaged properties from the 1999 flood located in Zone AE of the NFIP Floodplain. A 14th property was added with an amendment as a result of major structural deterioration. Due to IEMD funding limitations, the City acquired and demolished eight properties with more on the waiting list. The area experienced another major flood in 2002 resulting from heavy rains and floods overflowing the banks of the North Fork of the Maquoketa River and Bear Creek. The impact of flooding was diminished as a result of the acquisition and demolition of these eight properties. In 2003 the City of Dyersville received funding under the 1999 HSEMD program to acquire and demolish four more properties. The balance of the properties submitted in the 1999 application have either been addressed or withdrawn from the program. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 61 8/7/2012 The City's second application was submitted for acquisition and demolition of 45 properties as a result of the June 2002 Flood, designated Disaster #1420. Due to funding limitations, the application was revised to 34 properties and was approved to provide funding for acquisition and demolition of eight flood - damaged properties. In 2009, the City of Dyersville was awarded $3,336,800 through the HMGP which has provided the City with the funding to acquire 27 properties that have severe flood damage. To date, 11 of the properties have been acquired and the process continues. In 2009 the City was also awarded CDBG funds in the amount of $1,100,000 for the acquisition of an additional 10 properties. That process also continues and is expected to be completed by Fall 2012. In the event of future significant damage due to flash flooding, Dubuque County and /or its municipalities would engage in the appropriate mitigation actions: (1) elevation of structures in the hazard path, (2) acquisition of structures in the hazard path, (3) raising, grading, or resurfacing roads, (4) reinforcing culverts to counteract washouts, or (5) adding lift stations. The best available data for flood modeling in Dubuque County was generated by HAZUS -MH MR3, FEMA's software program for estimating potential losses from disasters. HAZUS was used to model a flood inundation zone with one percent annual probability for major rivers and creeks in the County. The inundation zone, or flood depth grid, estimates flooding depth based on location and elevation relative to the creek or river. While not as accurate as official flood maps, these floodplain boundaries are useful for GIS -based loss estimation. Note that HAZUS floodplain modeling occurred only on streams with a minimum drainage area of 10 square miles. Thus, flooding on smaller basins, including urban runoff, may not be represented. HAZUS also used 30m resolution DEM for terrain data, which normally does not have sufficient detail to show levee features, thus existing levee protection could be ignored by this analysis. Figure 3.2D shows the HAZUS flood depth grid for Dubuque County.

Hail is often produced by strong thunderstorms. Strong rising currents of air within a storm carry water droplets to a height were 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. Pets and livestock are particularly vulnerable to hail. The Dubuque County Planning Team has indicated that hailstorms have occurred in the community. NCDC data indicated that 126 hail events have been reported in Dubuque County between January 1, 1950 and September 30, 2011. The Planning Team recognized that hailstorms have the potential to impact the entire jurisdiction. For this reason, hailstorms do not have a defined hazard boundary. However, structures that are not in good repair, cedar shake shingles, and vehicles are vulnerable to damages from hail. 3.2.6 Landslide Description Both the Unincorporated County and the City of Dubuque noted that landslides have occurred. Dubuque County, including the City of Dubuque, is located on the bluff lands of the Mississippi River Valley, which falls into the area for potential landslides. The HMPT noted landslides in the County in the areas of: Park Hollow, Heritage Trail and Highway 52. The events are infrequent and are not considered to be of significant concern. The HMPT did not identify any mitigation actions for the Unincorporated County regarding landslides. However, as development continues to occur on the high bluffs surrounding the banks of the Mississippi River and other areas where high embankments exist within the city limits, the city continues to witness occasional landslide events at various locations around the city. The City has an active inspection program which monitors construction activities and associated erosion control measures on a quarterly basis and after heavy rainfall events. A part of these activities include the inspector being cognizant of possible landslides due to construction or other activities in the area.

Loose snow begins to drift when the wind speed reaches a critical speed of 9 to 10 mph under freezing conditions. Ice storms result in fallen trees, broken tree limbs, downed power lines and utility poles, fallen communications towers, and impassable transportation routes. Severe ice storms have caused total electric power losses over large areas and rendered assistance unavailable to those in need due to impassable roads. Frigid temperatures and wind chills are dangerous. Dubuque County receives large amounts of snow, freezing rain, sleet and extreme wind chills each year. Heavy snowfall and extreme cold can immobilize an entire region. Below is the National Weather Service Wind Chill Chart of temperatures and onset of windchill.

Winter storms can result in flooding, closed highways, blocked roads, downed power lines. The Planning Team recognized that severe winter storms have the potential to impact the entire jurisdiction equally; therefore the hazard boundary can be depicted as jurisdiction - wide. Furthermore, NCDC cited 123 snow and ice storms in Dubuque County between January 1, 1950 and September 30, 2011, with dozens of severe cold temperatures during that same period. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 67 8/7/2012 3.2.8 Sinkholes Description 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 or surface water migrating through them. As the rock dissolves or is displaced, voids and caverns develop underground. The land above the sinkhole usually stays intact until the underground voids become too large to support weight of the load above. A dramatic result can occur when the soils eventually give way creating an opening on the surface. These types of occurrences are rare, sporadic and unpredictable. The City of Dubuque addresses such occurrences by immediately barricading or closing the area to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Depending on the size and cause of the sinkhole, it may be filled with rock, stone or other material. In certain situations a structural slab may be built over the void area. 3.2.9 Thunderstorm & Lightning Description The National Weather Service (NWS) states that a "severe" thunderstorm is any storm that produces one or more of the following elements: • A tornado • Damaging winds, or winds measured 58 miles per hour or more • Hail one inch in diameter or larger. Most thunderstorms do not result in a tornado, damaging winds or hail. All thunderstorms are dangerous, according to FEMA. Associated dangers of thunderstorms include tornadoes, strong winds, hail, and flash flooding. Flash flooding is responsible for more fatalities than any other thunderstorm- associated hazard. Thunderstorms are common in Iowa and can occur singly, in clusters, or in lines. They are formed from a combination of moisture, rapidly rising warm air, and a lifting mechanism such as clashing warm and cold air masses. Most thunderstorms produce only thunder, lightning, and rain. Severe storms, however, can produce tornadoes, straight -line winds above 58 mph, microbursts, lightning, hailstorms, and flooding. Straight -line winds can often exceed 60 mph and are common occurrences, and are often mistaken for tornadoes. Lightning is an electrical discharge that results from the buildup of positive and negative charges within a thunderstorm. Every thunderstorm produces lightning. In the United States, an average of 300 persons are injured and 80 people are killed every year by lightning. Although most lightning victims survive, people struck by lightning often Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 68 8/7/2012 report a variety of long -term, debilitating symptoms. 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 temperatures approaching 50,000 degrees F in a split second. According to the NCDC, 206 thunderstorm and wind events were recorded in Dubuque County between January 1, 1950 and September 30, 2011. While NCDC does not provide full and comprehensive data, it is one tool used to track frequency of storms. Additionally, the NCDC cites three lightning events in Dubuque County during the same time period and also cites over $4 million in property and crop damages from thunder, wind and lightning storms during the same period. The Planning Team recognized that thunderstorm and lightning events have the potential to impact the entire jurisdiction equally; therefore the hazard boundary can be depicted as jurisdiction -wide. Figures 3.2.10a and 3.2.10b show Dubuque County located in an area with an average of 30 -50 days with thunderstorms per year per 10,000 square miles and two to eight lightning strikes per square kilometer per year.

The potential for tornadoes to occur is county -wide and Iowa is known to have a long history of having a higher rate of tornadoes per square mile than any other state. In Dubuque County, the NCDC cited 22 tornadoes between January 1, 1950 and September 30, 2011. For more information on NCDC listings of tornadoes in Dubuque County see Appendix E. The Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale measures tornado severity. The Enhanced Fujita Scale assigns a numerical value based on wind speeds and categorizes tornadoes from 0 to 5. The letters "EF" often precedes the numerical value. The Enhanced Fujita Scale lists the wind speeds associated with tornadoes using the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

Unlike tornadoes, windstorms may have a destructive path that is several miles wide, similar to that of a thunderstorm. Large hail, strong straight -line winds, heavy rains, flash flooding, and lightning are also associated with severe storms and may cause significant damage to a wider area. Large -scale extreme wind phenomena are experienced over every region of the United States.

Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 73 8/7/2012 3.3 Vulnerability Assessment Requirement §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. This description shall include an overall summary of each hazard and its impact on the community. 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. Requirement §201.6(c )(2)(ii)(B): [The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of an] estimate of the potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures identified in paragraph (c )(2)(i)(A) of this section and a description of the methodology used to prepare the estimate. Requirement §201.6(c )(2)(ii)(C): [The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of] 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. 3.3.1 Methodology The vulnerability assessment further defines and quantifies populations, buildings, critical facilities, and other community assets at risk to natural hazards. The vulnerability assessment for this plan followed the methodology described in the FEMA publication Understanding Your Risks — Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses (2002). The vulnerability assessment was conducted based on the best available data and the significance of the hazard. Data to support the vulnerability assessment was collected from the following sources: • County and jurisdictional data (hazards and appraiser's data) • Statewide GIS datasets compiled by state and federal agencies • FEMA's HAZUS -MH loss estimation software • Written descriptions of assets and risks provided by participating jurisdictions • Existing plans and reports • Personal interviews with HMPT members and other stakeholders The vulnerability assessment first describes the assets at risk in Dubuque County, including the total exposure of people and property; critical facilities and infrastructure; natural, cultural, and historic resources; and economic assets. Second, the assessment considers the social vulnerability of the County to hazards, including characteristics of gender, age, race /ethnicity, and wealth and poverty. Third, hazards of high and medium significance are evaluated in greater detail and potential losses are estimated where data is available. Development trends, including population growth, housing demand, and land use patterns, are analyzed in relation to hazard -prone areas. The end of the chapter summarizes the key issues and conclusions identified in the risk assessment process. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 74 8/7/2012 3.3.2 Assets at Risk This section assesses the population, structures, critical facilities and infrastructure, and other important assets in Dubuque County that are at risk to identified hazards. Total Exposure of Population and Structures Table 3.3.2 shows the estimated values for key building occupancies. Land values have been purposefully excluded because land remains following disasters, and subsequent market devaluations are frequently short term and difficult to quantify. Additionally, state and federal disaster assistance programs generally do not address loss of land or its associated value.

A critical facility is defined by FEMA as a facility in either the public or private sector that provides essential products and services to the general public, is otherwise necessary to preserve welfare and quality of life in the City and fulfills important public safety, emergency response, and/or disaster recovery functions. These facilities include such things as hospitals, schools, and lifeline utility systems. Damage to these facilities can impact the delivery of vital services, cause greater damages to other sections of the community and /or put special, vulnerable populations at risk in the case of a major hazard event. The Dubuque County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team determined the following facilities are critical facilities and sites located in Dubuque County, along with their estimated replacement valuations, if known: Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 76 8/7/2012 The following alphabetically- ordered tables indicate the critical facilities and their replacement values by jurisdiction.

Granada Mobile Home Park 11941 Route 52N Worthington Name West Ridge Apartments '°111M111 41111 317 Second Ave SW Cultural and Historic Sites Assessing the vulnerability of Dubuque County to disaster also involves inventorying the historical and cultural assets of the area. This step is important for the following reasons: • The community may decide that these types of resources warrant a greater degree of protection due to their unique and irreplaceable nature and contribution to the overall economy. • If these resources are impacted by a disaster, knowing so ahead of time allows for more prudent care in the immediate aftermath, when the potential for additional impacts are higher. • The rules for reconstruction, restoration, rehabilitation, and /or replacement are often different for these types of designated resources. Preservation of the cultural heritage of this area has been identified as an important value and is ensured by a variety of initiatives. Several national and state historic inventories were reviewed to identify historical and cultural assets in Dubuque County. The National Register of Historic Places is the Nation's official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation. The National Register is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect historic and archeological resources. Properties list include districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. The National Register is administered by the National Park Service, which is part of the US Department of the Interior. A complete and continually updated list can be found at: http:// www. nationalregisterofhistoricplaces .com /ialDubuque /state.html Historic and architectural surveys and archeological evaluations of Dubuque County's cultural resources provide information for hazard mitigation planning and disaster assistance. To receive federal disaster assistance, reviews of potential impacts to cultural resources for federally- funded projects are mandated under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Dubuque County has a rich heritage documented by archeological, historic and architectural sites and structures that are of local, regional, state and national significance. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 95 8/7/2012 Surveys and evaluations of these resources assist with federal and state applications for disaster assistance. Since 2000, nearly 5,000 structures in the City of Dubuque's historic districts, conservation districts, and conservation planning areas were evaluated. There are 659 structures in the City's 5 locally designated historic districts and 10 local landmarks that are also listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The city limits of Dubuque encompass many of Dubuque County's nationally recognized cultural resources, including 1 of the 6 archeological districts, 10 of the 12 historic districts, and 45 of the 56 structures individually listed in the National Register. Two of the County's 3 National Historic Landmarks are in the city of Dubuque. The Mines of Spain State Recreation Area consists of 1,387 acres of forest and prairie along the Mississippi River in Dubuque County on the south side of the city of Dubuque. The Mines of Spain is a National Historic Landmark with 5 archeological district listed in the National Register. An inventory of National Register sites in Dubuque County is maintained by the National Park Service on the agency's website at http:// www.nps.gov/history /places.htm. It should be noted that as defined by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), any property over 50 years of age is considered a historic resource and is potentially eligible for the National Register. Thus, in the event that the property is to be altered, or has been altered, as the result of a major federal action, the property must be evaluated under the guidelines set forth by NEPA. Structural mitigation projects are considered alterations for the purpose of this regulation. Economic Assets Economic assets at risk may include major employers or primary economic sectors, such as agriculture, whose losses or inoperability would have severe impacts on the community and its ability to recover from disaster. After a disaster, economic vitality is the engine that drives recovery. Every community has a specific set of economic drivers, which are important to understand when planning ahead to reduce disaster impacts to the economy. When major employers are unable to return to normal operations, impacts ripple throughout the community. Table 3.28 lists the top 10 employers in Dubuque County. Table 3.3D Top 10 Employers in Planning Area Employer _ 1 Number of Employees John Deere Dubuque Works 2,065 Dubuque Community Schools 1,946 Mercy Medical Center 1,324 IBM Corporation 1,300 Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 96 8/7/2012 Medical Associates Clinic, P.C. 999 The Finley Hospital 920 The City of Dubuque 686 Holy Family Catholic Schools 575 Prudential Retirement 550 Eagle Window & Doors 550 3.4 Vulnerability by Hazard In order to focus on the most critical hazards, those assigned a level of high planning significance (Priority 1) were given more extensive attention in the remainder of this analysis (e.g. quantitative analysis or loss estimation). This section describes overall vulnerability, identifies structures, and estimates potential losses to buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in identified hazard areas. This assessment was limited to the hazards that were considered a Priority 1 in planning significance, based on HMPT input and the hazard profiles. This assessment is also limited by the data available for the Priority 1 ranked hazards. The methods of analysis vary by hazard type and available data. Many of the identified hazards, particularly weather related hazards, affect the entire planning area, and specific hazard areas cannot be mapped geographically. For these hazards, vulnerability is mainly discussed in qualitative terms because data on potential losses to structures is not available. Once source frequently used is the National Climactic Data Center (NCDC), however, it should be noted that this is not a comprehensive record and does not fully indicate the number of events or losses in Dubuque County. 3.4.1 Dam and Levee Failure Vulnerability Overview Dam or levee failure is typically an additional or secondary impact of another disaster such as flooding or earthquake. Data from the National Inventory of Dams and State of Iowa indicates that Dubuque County has few, if any, high hazard dams or levees. Identifying Structures and Estimating Potential Losses There are no dams with a permanent pool of water that would impact the City of Dubuque. However, there are multiple storm -water detention basins within the city that are classified as dams as they will impound storm -water during heavy rains. The regional Carter Road Detention Basin is classified by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources as a high - hazard dam because if it should fail it could "lead to the loss of human life or result in serious damage to residential, industrial or commercial areas, important public utilities, public building, or major transportation facilities." Construction of the detention basin was completed in 2009. The City inspects the facility on an annual Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 97 8/7/2012 basis and after each heavy rain. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources inspects the facility every other year. Their last inspection was in 2011. The North Fork of the Maquoketa River flows through the City of Cascade between Filmore and Pierce Streets. Several small ephemeral streams flow through the community into the North Fork of the Maquoketa River. Several mitigation measures have been undertaken to secure the structures from damage during flooding, but mitigation actions are ongoing still. In the City of Dubuque, no events of levee failure or breech have occurred since the completion of its 6.4 mile long earth and concrete levee in 1973. FEMA certified Dubuque floodwall and levee system most recently in 2011. Future Development Each community follows the flood plain regulations for their jurisdictions. Dubuque County specifies that you cannot build in a floodway, with exceptions for roads and bridges which require a FEMA- issued No Rise Certificate stating that the implementation of the bridge or roadway will not cause further flooding. The cities of Cascade and Dubuque are keenly away of damage due to structures in the flood zone, but both have plenty of other areas of development available for dams and levees to not impede the cities growth. 3.4.2 Extreme Heat Vulnerability Overview Extreme Heat is a county -wide concern and because the hazard occurs with such regularity, the affect needs to be taken into consideration. Dubuque County has few sizeable cities, and is heavily agrarian, so needs to prepare for extreme temperatures on human and animal life as well as property and crop damages. Identifying Structures and Estimating Potential Losses No specific estimation tools are available for the affect of extreme heat on structures, so estimation of potential losses is not available either. Future Development Future development projects should consider extreme heat at the planning, engineering and architectural design stage with the goal of reducing vulnerability. 3.4.3 Flood — Flash and River Vulnerability Overview Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 98 8/7/2012 According to the vulnerability analysis and the loss estimates provided in this section, the City of Dyersville would be hit the hardest by a 100 -year flood. Identifying Structures and Estimating Potential Losses The best available data for flooding in Dubuque County was generated by HAZUS -MH MR4, FEMA's software program for estimating potential losses from disasters. HAZUS was used to generate a one percent annual flood, or base flood, event for major rivers and creeks in the County. The software produces a flood polygon and flood -depth grid that represents the base flood. While not as accurate as official flood maps, such as digital flood insurance rate maps, these floodplain boundaries are used in GIS -based loss estimation. HAZUS provides reports on the number of buildings impacted, building repair costs, and the associated loss of building contents and business inventory. Building damage can cause additional losses to a community as a whole by restricting the building's ability to function properly. Income loss data accounts for business interruption and rental income losses as well as the resources associated with damage repair and job and housing losses. These losses are calculated by HAZUS using a methodology based on the building damage estimates. Flood damage is directly related to the depth of flooding. For example, a two -foot flood generally results in about 20 percent damage to the structure (which translates to 20 percent of the structure's replacement value). After running the HAZUS analysis for the 100 -year flood event, the building inventory loss estimates (which are linked to census block geography) were sorted by incorporated communities in Dubuque County and the unincorporated County to illustrate how the potential for loss varies across the planning area. Table 3.4A shows estimate potential building losses by jurisdiction. The City of Dyersville is at most risk to flood losses according to this analysis with more than 40% of all estimated losses in the County. And this does not include any losses that are estimated in the portion of Dyersville that is in Delaware County. The cities of Cascade and Zwingle also are located in two counties and this table shows losses for only the assets in Dubuque County. The estimated flood losses of $7,330,000 for the City of Dubuque depicted in the HAZUS analysis of Table 3.4A are less than what could be expected with flooding in the regulatory 100 - year floodplain. The City of Dubuque HAZUS floodplain map depicts only a portion of the floodplain in the southeast quadrant of Dubuque. Based on this map, there are 29 structures in the 100 -year floodplain with a combined 2012 assessed valuation of $1,653,050 for buildings and dwellings (land values are omitted). In contrast, the City of Dubuque DFIRM floodplain map shows all of the floodplain in the corporate limits according to the 2011 Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) from FEMA for zone A and AE. Using this DFIRM floodplain map, there are 236 structures in the 100 -year Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 99 8/7/2012 floodplain with a combined 2012 assessed value of $37,863,530 for buildings and dwellings (land values are omitted). The Dubuque flood wall and levee system protects over 1,000 properties: 604 residences, 246 business, 18 utilities and 136 tax - exempt facilities (government offices, schools and churches) from the 100 -year flood (shaded zone X on the 2011 DFIRM. See Appendix H). In a 2010 report, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimated the economic damage if the protected area flooded due to a levee breach at $642,019,000.

Thus, the potential for losses derived from HAZUS -MH, the best available data, may contain some inaccuracies. The building valuations used in HAZUS -MH MR4 are updated to R.S. Means 2006 and commercial data is updated to Dun & Bradstreet 2006. There could be errors and inadequacies associated with the hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of the HAZUS -MH model. The damaged building counts generated by HAZUS -MH are susceptible to rounding errors and are likely the weakest output of the model due to the use of census blocks for analysis. Flood Plain Maps and Repetitive Loss Appendix K shows the flood plain maps for each potentially affected jurisdiction. Unincorporated Dubuque County, the City of Dubuque, the City of Durango and the City of Dyersville have all experienced repetitive loss to structures. Repetitive Loss There have been five residential properties in Unincorporated Dubuque County that have repetitive loss claims, while there have been two residential properties in the City of Dubuque and four residential properties in the City of Durango. All three jurisdictions are currently in the FEMA flood buyout programs. Future Development The risk of flooding to future development in Dubuque County should be minimized by the floodplain management programs of the County and jurisdictions in the planning area, if properly enforced. Risk should be further reduced by strengthening floodplain ordinances beyond minimum NFIP requirements. 3.4.5 Hailstorm Vulnerability Overview The Dubuque County planning area is equally vulnerable to hailstorms. Identifying Structures and Estimating Potential Losses Dubuque County has, according to NCDC, has had 123 hail events in the past 60 years. Property and Crop Damage have been recorded since 1994 and during that time, Dubuque County has a recorded $4.46 million in property damages. NCDC does not further categorize property damage, so it is not possible to estimate what portion of that nearly $1 million came from structural damage, but the Planning Team thought it likely that a good portion would be from darnage to homes and other buildings. Of the 61 hail events documented since 1994, the average darnage per event was $36,260. Future Development Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 102 8/7/2012 Current development trends for Dubuque County are unlikely to substantively increase or decrease vulnerability to hailstorms. 3.4.6 Severe Winter Storms Vulnerability Overview Overall vulnerability to severe winter storms relative to other hazards is considered high, with significant potential impact to the general population and/or built environment and significant exposure of assets. Winter storms typically involve snow and ice, occasionally accompanied by high winds, which can cause downed trees and power lines, power outages, accidents, and road closures. Transportation networks, communications, and utilities infrastructure are the most vulnerable physical assets in the planning area and affect the jurisdiction equally. The most significant damage during winter storm events occurs when freezing rain and drizzle accumulate on utility poles and power lines causing widespread power outages. During heavy snow and ice events, the threat to public safety is typically the greatest concern. Lower income and elderly populations are more at risk in cases of power outages during severe winter storms. These storms also impact the local economy by disrupting transportation, school and commercial activities. Travelers on roadways and highways in Dubuque County, particularly along remote stretches of road, can become stranded, requiring search and rescue assistance and shelter provisions. Agriculture and livestock are also vulnerable to extreme cold temperatures and heavy snow. Identifying Structures and Estimating Potential Losses Buildings that have tree limbs hanging over them are more vulnerable to damage by falling limbs. Utility power poles and lines are the critical facilities that are most vulnerable. Potential losses to the electric line infrastructure are difficult to quantify. Roads and bridges covered with ice make travel treacherous and slow emergency vehicles. Businesses experience losses as a result of closure during power outages. Schools also often must close. Other losses as a result of winter storm are not quantifiable at this time. Future Development Residential development is occurring in most incorporated cities within Dubuque County, with the most rapid growth in Masonville. Although future residential or commercial buildings built to code should be able to withstand snow and ice loads from severe winter storms, the increased number of developments will place additional demands for utility infrastructure on the current systems. HMPT recognizes the need for investment for utility infrastructure, including burial of electric utilities and the addition of poles in areas prone to ice accumulation. These actions should decrease future losses. 3.4.7 Thunderstorms & Lightning Vulnerability Overview Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 103 8/7/2012 All of the planning area is vulnerable to lightning. National Climatic Database Center (NCDC) recorded 122 thunderstorm wind events in Dubuque County in the past 60 years but only $41,000 recorded in crop damages. The HMPT considered lightning to be a public safety hazard with most damages occurring to electronic equipment located inside buildings. Communications equipment and warning transmitters and receivers could be knocked out by lightning strikes. Identifying Structures and Estimating Potential Losses Specific dollar losses are not available for the widespread impacts that can occur to personal electronics equipment. NCDC cites more than $1.8 million in property damage in approximately the past 15 years. Future Development Current development trends for Dubuque County are unlikely to substantively increase or decrease vulnerability to thunderstorm and lightning. 3.4.8 Tornado Vulnerability Overview A tornado that causes widespread damage in Dubuque County is likely based on historical events. All above - ground buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities are at risk of damage. At this time, there are no buildings that have FEMA- approved tornado shelters, however there is one under construction and another community has submitted a grant application to FEMA for funding of a safe room. Identifying Structures and Estimating Potential Losses Twenty -seven tornadoes have been documented by NCDC in Dubuque County in the past 60 years. Twenty injuries (but no deaths) were reported, along with $32.5 million in property damages and $20,000 in crop damages. A single event, an F4 tornado on March 13, 1990, caused $25 million in property damages. To assess vulnerability to this damaging hazard, the HMPT took the cumulative property damages of $32.5 million and divided by the 27 tornadoes cited, which would give an average of $1.2 million in property damages per tornado. This methodology is inexact at best. Future Development Future residential or commercial buildings built to code should be less vulnerable to tornadoes. The number of schools and communities within the jurisdiction wishing to include a FEMA shelter is increasing, and although these shelters will not decrease the amount of property Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 104 8/7/2012 damaged, they will save lives. Future development that does occur in Dubuque County should consider tornado hazards at the planning, engineering and architectural design stages. 3.4.9 Windstorm Vulnerability Overview Windstorms in Dubuque County are rarely life threatening, but do disrupt daily activities and cause damage to buildings, trees, and utilities. Identifying Structures and Estimating Potential Losses Windstorms affect the entire planning area, including all above - ground structures and utilities. There are no specifically identified hazard areas or available data to identify specific structures at risk or estimate potential losses, although NCDC cites 13 high wind events in Dubuque County in the past 60 years that caused a combined $9 million in property damages (or an average of $692,307 per event). Future Development Future development projects should consider windstorm hazards at the planning, engineering and architectural design stage with the goal of reducing vulnerability. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 105 8/7/2012 CHAPTER 4 MITIGATION STRATEGY 44 CFR Requirement 201.6( c)(3): The plan shall include a mitigation strategy that provides the jurisdiction's blueprint for reducing the potential losses identified in the risk assessment, based on existing authorities, policies, programs and resources, and its ability to expand on and improve these existing tools. This section presents the mitigation strategy developed by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) based on the risk assessment. The mitigation strategy was developed through a collaborative group process and consists of goals, objectives, and mitigation actions. The following definitions are based upon those found in FEMA publication 386 -3, Developing a Mitigation Plan (2002): • Goals are general guidelines that explain what you want to achieve. Goals are defined before considering how to accomplish them so that they are not dependent on the means of achievement. They are usually long -term, broad, policy -type statements. • Objectives define strategies or implementation steps to attain the identified goals and are specific and measurable. • Mitigation Actions are specific actions that help achieve goals and objectives. 4.1 Goals and Objectives The HMPT developed goals and objectives to provide direction for reducing hazard- related losses in Dubuque County. These were based upon the results of the risk assessment and a review of goals and objectives from other state and local plans, specifically, the Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2007 and the Dubuque County Emergency Operations Plan. This review was to ensure that this plan's mitigation strategy was integrated with existing plans and policies. Through a brainstorming process at its meetings, the HMPT identified a variety of possible goals and then carne to a consensus on four goals. Following the development of the goals, the HMPT identified specific objectives to achieve each goal. Goals and objectives are listed below, but are not prioritized. Goal #1: Increase capabilities within Dubuque County entities to mitigate the effects of hazards by enhancing existing or designing and adopting new policies that will reduce the damaging effects of hazards. Objective 1.1: Reduce repetitive property losses due to flood, wildfire, winter storms, and other hazards. Objective 1.2: Protect critical facilities, infrastructure, and utility systems. Objective 1.3: Encourage the incorporation of mitigation measures into repairs, redevelopment, and capital improvement projects for governments, businesses, education institutions, and the public. Objective 1.4: Identify funding opportunities for future mitigation measures. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 106 8/7/2012 Goal #2: Protect the most vulnerable populations, buildings, and critical facilities within Dubuque County through the implementation of cost effective and technically feasible mitigation projects. Objective 2.1: Educate property and business owners on affordable mitigation and preparedness measures that can be taken to reduce property loss. Objective 2.2: Assure that vulnerable buildings and critical facilities within Dubuque County are cataloged and that vulnerability assessments are completed for each identified facility. Objective 2.3: Assure that vulnerable populations such as the elderly, homeless, low income or those with limited English proficiency are included in educational programs regarding preparedness or mitigation. Objective 2.4: Enhance the capabilities to collect, analyze, update, and exchange data and information to support risk assessment and mitigation needs. Goal #3: Improve the level of responder, government, business, and citizen awareness and preparedness for disaster. Objective 3.1: Identify and develop needed training and exercises for targeted responder, government and citizen audiences. Objective 3.2: Strengthen outreach and partnerships with the private sector, nonprofit organizations and the public. Objective 3.3: Improve public understanding of hazards and risk by providing public awareness, preparedness, and mitigation information through various channels of communication. Goal #-4: Develop programs to assure that response agencies, governments, educational institutions, and local businesses are able to operate during times of disaster. Objective 4.1: Promote the development of emergency response plans, including continuity of operations plans, among local response agencies, governments, educational institutions and local businesses. Objective 4.2: Provide education, training, and exercise opportunities for local entities to prepare for and test their ability to operate during times of disaster. 4.2 Identification and Analysis of Mitigation Actions Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 107 8/7/2012 44 CFR 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. The Dubuque County Emergency Management Agency provided information to the HMPT about the types of projects typically seen in mitigation plans. At each of the HMPT meetings, participants were asked to review lists of mitigation actions categorized by disaster and to identify those that would be pertinent to the County as well as their specific jurisdictions. The HMPT was asked to discuss appropriate, achievable actions and to develop jurisdictional consensus on need. ECIA collected these developed actions and put them into draft form. The identified actions along with a listing of previously identified ideas for mitigation, key issues from the Risk Assessment, and a worksheet of the plan's goals and objectives were provided to the team for review. Those jurisdictions, which had not previously identified actions brainstormed with other HMPT members to ensure that: (1) each jurisdiction participating in the multi jurisdictional plan had at least one action, and (2) there were actions for each goal. The HMPT was provided with the following list of categories of mitigation actions, which originated from the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System, as well as definitions and examples of each category: • Prevention: Administrative or regulatory actions or processes that influence the way land and buildings are developed and built • Property protection: Actions that involve the modification of existing buildings or structures to protect them from a hazard or remove them from the hazard area • Structural: Actions that involve the construction of structures to reduce the impact of hazard • Natural resource protection: Actions that, in addition to minimizing hazard losses, also preserve or restore the functions of natural systems • Emergency services: Actions that protect people and property during and immediately after a disaster or hazard event • Public education and awareness: Actions to inform and educate citizens, elected officials, and property owners about the hazards and potential ways to mitigate them Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 108 8/7/2012 4.3 Implementation of Mitigation Actions 44 CFR Requirement §201.6(c )(3)(ii): The mitigation strategy shall include an action strategy describing how the actions identified in paragraphs (c )(2)(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 benefits review of the proposed projects and their associated costs. Once actions were identified, HMPT members were then asked to use a modified STAPLEE criteria worksheet to evaluate each project. The mitigation actions that were identified as being applicable to all jurisdictions were prioritized by the Planning Team. Mitigation Actions specific to a jurisdiction were prioritized by that jurisdiction, with the STAPLEE scores as a reference tool. A copy of the modified scoring process is included in Appendix C. This process of identification and analysis of mitigation options allow the HMPT to come to consensus and to prioritize recommended mitigation actions. Emphasis was placed on the importance of a benefit -cost analysis in determining project priority; however, this was not a quantitative analysis. The Disaster Mitigation Act regulations state that benefit -cost review is the primary method by which mitigation projects should be prioritized. Recognizing the federal regulatory requirement to prioritize by benefit -cost, and the need for any publicly funded project to be cost - effective, the HMPT decided to pursue implementation according to when and where damage occurs, available funding, political will, jurisdictional priority, and priorities identified in the Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan. Cost - effectiveness will be considered in additional detail when seeking FEMA mitigation grant funding for eligible projects identified in this plan. Table 4.3 summarizes all of the prioritized mitigation actions and indicates which jurisdictions plan to implement them; it also provides information on the hazards and plan goals addressed. The Mitigation Actions that apply to all jurisdictions were ranked by the Planning Team as a whole, while actions that apply to specific jurisdictions were ranked by those members of the HMPT representing those jurisdictions. Most jurisdictions opted to rank mitigation actions from 1 to whatever number of goals the community has, with 1 being the greatest priority. Those mitigation actions that apply to ALL jurisdictions, as well as to the Unincorporated County and to the City of Dubuque, because there are so many of them with high priority were ranked only using a 1, 2 or 3 ranking. A ranking of 1 would be the most immediate priority at the time the plan was written as is subject to change based on circumstances and funding.

The chapter also discusses incorporating the plan into existing planning mechanisms and how to address continued public involvement. 5.1 Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating the Plan 44 CFR Requirement 201.6(c )(4): 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. With adoption of this plan, the HMPT will be tasked with plan monitoring, evaluation, and maintenance of the plan. The participating jurisdictions and agencies, led by Dubuque County Emergency Management, agree to: • Monitor and evaluate best practices at Dubuque County Emergency Management and Community Fire Chiefs meeting which meets six times per year; • Act as a forum for hazard mitigation issues; • Disseminate hazard mitigation ideas and activities to all participants; • Pursue the implementation of high priority, low- or no -cost recommended actions; • Monitor and assist in implementation and update of this plan; • Report on plan progress and recommend changes to the governing bodies of participating jurisdictions; and • Inform and solicit input from the public. The HMPT is an advisory body and will not have any powers over County, Cities, Townships, or District staff. Its primary duty is to see the plan successfully carried out and to report to the community governing boards and the public on the status of plan implementation and mitigation opportunities. Other duties include reviewing and promoting mitigation proposals, hearing stakeholder concerns about hazard mitigation, passing concerns on to appropriate entities, and posting relevant information on the County website. 5.2 Plan Maintenance Schedule The HMPT agrees to meet annually during regularly scheduled Fire Chiefs meetings to report on and monitor progress as well as update the mitigation strategy when necessary. In conjunction with the other participating jurisdictions, a written update of the plan must be approved by the IHSESD and FEMA Region VII per Requirement §201.6(c )(4)(i) of the disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and adopted by participating jurisdictions within a five -year period from the final approval of this plan unless disaster or other circumstances (e.g. changing regulations) require a change to this schedule. Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 128 8/7/2012 5.3 Plan Maintenance Process Evaluation of progress can be achieved by monitoring changes in vulnerabilities identified in the plan. Changes in vulnerability can be identified by noting: • Decreased vulnerabilities as a result of implementing the actions described in this plan, • Increased vulnerabilities as a result of failed or ineffective mitigation actions, and/or • Increased vulnerabilities as a result of new development or annexation. Updates to this plan will: • Consider changes in vulnerability due to action implementation, • Document success stories where mitigation efforts have proven effective, • Document areas where mitigation actions were not effective, • Document any new hazards that may arise or were previously overlooked, • Incorporate new data or studies on hazards and risks • Incorporate new capabilities or changes in capabilities, and • Incorporate growth and development - related changes to inventories. Changes will be made to the plan to accommodate actions that have failed or are not considered feasible after a review of their adherence to established criteria, time frame, community priorities, and /or funding resources. Actions that were not ranked high but were identified as potential mitigation activities will be reviewed during the monitoring and update of this plan to determine feasibility of future implementation. Updating of the plan will be enacted through written changes and submissions as deemed appropriate and necessary by the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team. Any changes to the plan will be approved by the governing boards of the participating jurisdictions. 5.4 Implementation through Existing Programs The goals, actions, and timelines will be discussed with directions given by the Board of Supervisors, City Councils, Mayors and Superintendents for inclusion of these mitigation measures into their Budgets for implementation. The jurisdictions will continue to include mitigation projects in the Capital Improvements Plan and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for implementation on a planned basis whenever feasible. Land use decisions will incorporate the findings of the HM Plan. 5.5 Responsible Parties The various jurisdictions, along with the recommendations of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team, are ultimately responsible for decisions related to all mitigation projects Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan ECIA DRAFT Page 129 8/7/2012 and their implementation.

Berger; Tricia Maiers, Vicky Cleary Cc: Jennifer Walker; 'Tom Berger'; 'Denise Dolan' Subject: Dubuque County Multi Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (DCMJHP) Good Morning- 1 would like to update you on the progress of our application to complete a MJHMP. As you are aware, in the past each city /county was responsible to complete their own jurisdictional plan. FEMA has changed the planning grants and will now only fund and review MJHMPs as they are looking to reduce some of the plans and paperwork. For Iowa — that means they will have 99 plans rather than 800 +. Dubuque County has been awarded a planning grant and has awarded ECIA a contract to work with Dubuque County EMA to complete the plan for the county. I would like for you to mark on your calendar a very important kick off meeting that we will have with all jurisdictions. The meeting will be held here at the Dubuque County Fire Training Center /Emergency Management Office on Tuesday, January 24`h, 2012 from 4:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. You will be receiving more detailed information about the meeting from Jennifer Walker from ECIA after the first of the year, however I wanted to get an email out to you to save the date. Jennifer will also be contacting those jurisdictions who have expired plans or no plans in place to start our outreach meetings with your communities. For those communities who recently completed a plan, we will need participation from you at the January 24th meeting and also at a later date. Our priority will be to start working with the no plan and expired plan cities and then move to the others. The planning grant is a three year grant in which we hope to have completed well before that so communities can start applying for hazard mitigation funds. The good news for cities is that once we have the MJHMP you will no longer have to update your city plan and we will have all of the plans rolled into the county plan. All cities will then be compliant for five years from the new approval date. If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season. Thomas I. Berger, Director Dubuque County Emergency Management Agency 14928 Public Safety Way Dubuque, IA 52002 -8216 Phone: 563 -589 -4170 Fax: 563 -589 -0015 dbgema@yousq.net 1 TO: Dubuque County Jurisdictions FROM: Jennifer Walker, Project Coordinator DATE: January 3, 2012 SUBJECT: Dubuque County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Planning Team As you may know, Dubuque County was awarded a planning grant to assist the County in preparing their Multi- Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP). East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) has been contracted to help Dubuque County with this process. One of the first steps is to form a MJHMP team to assist in the development of the plan and to have representation from all participating jurisdictions, County officials, and school districts in Dubuque County, neighboring counties and any other interested parties, to participate in the hazard mitigation planning process. FEMA is now requiring school districts to participate as their own jurisdiction in the MJHMP, which will allow the districts to apply for federal grants. While participation is optional, eligibility in grant programs is only possible if the district is included as a jurisdiction. Furthermore, a significant portion of this grant is funded through in -kind service — volunteer participation in the planning process. Therefore, we require that each jurisdiction included in the MJHMP have representation on the planning team.

A copy of the plan will also available on the county website located at www.dubuquecounty.org Appendix C: Modified STAPLEE Criteria DUBUQUE COUNTY STAPLEE RESULTS After developing the mitigation strategy, the Planning Team conducted a prioritization activity to determine which actions were the most feasible, and would be addressed first. This activity placed particular emphasis on an economic analysis, weighing the cost of one action against the cost of another action. The economic analysis also weighed the cost of each action against the anticipated benefit. The criteria applied by the Dubuque County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team utilized a system also used by the State of Iowa in the statewide hazard mitigation plan. It involves application of the following criteria used to determine the viability of a proposed mitigation action. This process is referred to as the STAPLEE process: • To be SOCIALLY acceptable, the community must support the overall implementation strategy and specific mitigation actions. The mitigation measure is evaluated in terms of community acceptance or whether the measure will treat all individuals and groups in the community equitably or whether it will result in a negative impact. • To be TECHNICALLY feasible, the measure can be developed in a plan and implemented in a practical manner. The measure is evaluated in terms of whether it will reduce losses in the long term and has only minimal secondary impacts. It will also be evaluated as to whether it is a whole or partial solution and whether it solves problems instead of symptoms. • To be ADMINISTRATIVELY capable, the agencies that are required to carry out the measure must have the skill, experience, knowledge, ability, staffing, funding, and maintenance capability to do so. The measure is evaluated by determining if personnel and administrative capabilities, funding, and maintenance requirements are adequate and also if the measure can he completed in a timely manner. • To be POLITICALLY desirable, the measure will need the support of the community. That support can come from any number of sources, including elected officials, public or private agencies, administrators, and /or the general public. • To have LEGAL authority, the measure must be supported by some legal source, such as a local code or ordinance, state law, or federal law. The unit of government undertaking the mitigation action should be identified and include an analysis of the interrelationships between local, regional, state, and federal governments. • To be ECONOMICALLY beneficial, the measure's benefits must exceed the costs. The measure should contribute to overall economic goals of the community. Other considerations are whether there are current sources of funds to implement actions without incurring long-term debts and whether there is an increased burden on the tax base or economy if a proposed action is implemented. • To be ENVIRONMENTALLY beneficial, the measure must not impact the natural environment negatively and in many instances may produce a positive impact. A proposed mitigation action will be evaluated as to how it affects the natural environment and whether it complies with local, state, and federal environmental laws and regulations. Each of the STAPLEE criteria were considered separately and given a positive (+), negative ( -), or neutral (0) rating. For example, if a mitigation action would be acceptable to a community, it would receive a positive ( +) rating or if a mitigation action would adversely impact one of more segments of a community, it would receive a ( -) rating The results of this activity can be seen in Table 10 below: Mitigation Action Jurisdiction S T A P L EE Total Obtain and maintain a FEMA- approved Hazard Mitigation Plan for Dubuque County.
