3. High Wind Mitigation Strategies. There are a number of natural hazards that <br />have the potential to include high wind damage - thunderstorms, tornadoes, severe <br />winter storms, and hurricanes. Recommendations to help reduce the devastating <br />effect of high winds are included in Table 1. <br />Table 1: High Wind Mitiontinn Ctrafaffvoo <br />Do <br />Strategies <br />Responsible <br />Support <br />Priority <br />Schedule <br />Project <br />Parties <br />Parties <br />Cost/Funding <br />Sources <br />1.

Severe Winter Storms. Because of the infrequent occurrence of such storms, Mount <br />Pleasant is not completely equipped to handle the demands on its public works caused by <br />such events. Highway and state road clearance is done by the NC Department of <br />Transportation. The priority is to clear the main highways and those areas needed for public <br />safety. The Town of Mount Pleasant will clear Town system streets within its jurisdiction <br />when it is determined that clearing operations are necessary to maintain safe conditions. <br />Appendix 1 To Annex E E -1 -3 1 October 2004 <br />Mt.
