The FEMA Local Mitigation Planning Handbook recommends four (4) categories of mitigation <br />actions: <br />• Local plans and regulations <br />• Structure and infrastructure projects <br />• Natural systems protection <br />• Education and awareness programs <br />NPA shall prepare a matrix that summarizes mitigation actions, priority, responsible party(ies), funding <br />mechanisms, benefit/cost, and technical feasibility similar to the example given in the FEMA Local <br />Mitigation Planning Handbook (March 2023). <br />NPA shall organize the potential mitigation actions by the LHMP objectives. See Table 4 for examples. <br />Table 4: Potential Mitigation Actions 2024 <br /> <br />Goal Action <br />Item # <br />Action Description Mitigation Type Related <br />Hazards <br />Implementing <br />Organizations <br /> <br />Goal 1: Protect 1.1 Analyze critical City Infrastructure Seismic Public Works <br />life, property, and facilities and conduct <br />reduce potential seismic retrofits where <br />injuries from needed. <br />natural caused <br />hazards <br /> <br />1.2 Assess the fuel storage <br />capacity of emergency <br />Infrastructure Seismic Public Works <br /> generators at key <br /> infrastructure and <br /> increase it to provide 72 <br /> hours of continuous <br /> operation. <br /> <br />Evaluate and Prioritize Potential Mitigation Actions <br />NPA shall use a two-step process to evaluate potential mitigation items to best meet the needs of the City <br />for reduction of hazard loss. FEMA requires that one criterion of the evaluation and prioritization process <br />be benefit-cost review. The Planning Team must consider the benefits that would result from a mitigation <br />action versus the cost. This does not mean a full benefit-cost analysis (BCA), using the FEMA BCA <br />program, but a planning level assessment of whether the costs are reasonable compared to the probable <br />benefits. Cost estimates do not have to be exact but can be based on experience and judgment. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: C52B82D1-BCAD-4260-AF1B-3FCC857FC38E
