III. PRE-DISASTER HAZARD MITIGATION ACTIVITIESPre-disaster hazard mitigation activities are described in detail in the Levy County Local Mitigation Strategy. The Local Mitigation Strategy is a community- based plan to make the county and local communities safer and more resistant to natural and technological hazards. The Levy County LMS is available from the Levy County Emergency Management. IV. POST-DISASTER MITIGATION FUNCTIONSA. Planning AssumptionsPersonnel resources for daily operations in Levy County are limited. In the aftermath of a disaster, these resources are stretched even further. As a result, the County relies in large part on information generated by the Levy County and municipal Building and Road Departments during the local damage assessment process, the prioritized project list from the Levy County LMS, and overall guidance from the Emergency Management Director or Designee in determining specific mitigation priorities following a disaster. It is assumed that the county will be short handed when it comes to performing mitigation assessments, and when it’s time to ensure mitigation enhancements are made to the project worksheets. If necessary, Levy County will request assistance from the State to assist in this effort if the county is overwhelmed. B. Lead Agency with Responsibility for Providing Mitigation AssessmentLevy County Emergency Management is the primary agency charged with post-disaster mitigation assessment. The Emergency Management Director or designee has the primary responsibility for assessing mitigation needs in the post-disaster environments. The Director will coordinate the mitigation assessments with the support agencies. This will be critical to ensure mitigation measures are incorporated into project worksheets (406 mitigation), and through the HMGP (404 mitigation).`
The agencies in Exhibit 2 are the supporting agencies that work closest with Levy County Emergency Management in post-disaster mitigation assessment. There are, however, a number of other local agencies that may indirectly support mitigation in Levy County. Levy County Emergency Management will emphasize the policy of seeking mitigation enhancements to public assistance projects among the support agencies as they are working with the State and FEMA in the preparation of the project worksheets. D. Roles and Responsibilities of Lead and Support Agencies1. Levy County Emergency Management Levy County Emergency Management will serve as the coordinating organization for all post-disaster mitigation activities. Emergency Management will notify all supporting agencies required for mitigation assessment operations; coordinate all activities required to identify potential mitigation projects and initiatives, coordinate the application process for mitigation related grants; and may serve as the grant administrator for all mitigation grants. The Emergency Management Director or designee also serves as the point of contact for providing information to residents of the county describing how they can minimize damage from future disasters. Emergency Management will also be responsible for maintaining and updating the mitigation assessment resource inventory (data, personnel, equipment and vehicles). This information is maintained at the Emergency Management Office and is updated on a annual basis. 2. Levy County Property Appraiser The Levy County Property Appraiser will support the Levy County Emergency Management by providing technical expertise regarding property values, damages and losses to properties as a result of a disaster. 3. Levy County Building Department The Levy County Building Department and any Municipal Building Departments will provide support to Emergency Management in identifying mitigation activities that could reduce the vulnerability of public infrastructure, businesses and housing stock to damage and loss from natural and manmade disasters. 4. Levy County Engineering and Road Departments, Municipal Public Works Departments The Levy County Road Department and any Municipal Public Works Departments will assist Emergency Management in identifying potential road, bridge, culvert and water and sewer mitigation projects. E. Coordination between Lead and Support AgenciesEmergency Management will serve as the organization responsible for coordinating mitigation activities for lead and support agencies. The Levy County Emergency Management Director or designee is the person responsible for this task. The process of coordination is straightforward given the rural nature of the county and the small number of agencies actively involved in post-disaster mitigation activities. In Levy County, much of the work involved in identifying opportunities for possible mitigation activities is carried out during the pre-disaster mitigation phase (e.g. during the mitigation project identification process carried out by the Levy County LMS Task Force). Opportunities for mitigation are also discovered during the initial and preliminary damage assessments and throughout the public assistance processes. The supporting agencies noted above document damage to public infrastructure, businesses and residences working in conjunction with Emergency Management. The Levy County LMS Task Force, along with input from supporting agencies, then considers the information gathered during the recovery phase and determinations are made regarding potential mitigation projects and their prioritization. F. Equipment and Resources Necessary for Mitigation Assessment1. The Levy County Emergency Management Director will be responsible for ensuring all equipment and resources necessary for mitigation assessment are available when needed for mitigation assessments. 2. Vehicles used for mitigation assessment include city and county government vehicles, fire department vehicles, EMS vehicles and personal vehicles. 3. The following equipment is provided by Emergency Management and used for mitigation assessment: office supplies, maps and disposable cameras. Other resources may be requested on an as needed basis through Emergency Management. 4 Equipment, vehicles and supplies necessary for mitigation activity are located throughout the county either in stations, assigned to individual personnel or readily accessible to department personnel.
