I. The Federal Government, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) <br />has long recognized the need for comprehensive hazard mitigation. The hazard mitigation plan <br />required under Section 409 of Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act is <br />typically developed in a post-disaster situation; however, the plan developed after a disaster is <br />essentially a pre-disaster plan for the next emergency. Hazard mitigation is the only phase of <br />emergency management that can break the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated <br />damage. <br /> <br /> J. In addition to the Stafford Act, there have been two Executive Orders dealing w/th flood <br />losses. Executive Order 11988 is used by FEMA to deny disaster assistance in a repetitively <br />flooded area. Instead, technical and financial resources of existing prOgrams are used to help <br />residents with relocation expenses and to prevent reoccupation of residential properties. The <br />effect of this order is to mitigate furore flood damages by encouraging residents to relocate. <br /> <br /> K. Federal and state hazard mitigation officers limit federal and state investments in <br />floodplains through Executive Order 11990. This order restricts the availability of Federal <br />Housing Administration (FHA), and Veterans Housing Administration (VHA) low-interest loans <br />to homebuyers, the availability of Small Business Administration loans for future development, <br />and Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant <br />funds. The effect is to reduce the financial incentive that encourages development in an <br />identified flood hazard area. <br /> <br /> L. In June, 2001 the North Carolina General Assembly passed Senate Bill 300, An Act to <br />Amend Laws Regarding Emergency Management. This bill requires all local governments to <br />have a hazard mitigation plan, approved by the North Carolina Emergency Management <br />Division, in effect by August 1, 2002. Failure to comply will result in the loss of state public <br />assistance funds in the event of an emergency situation. <br /> <br /> M. Cabarms County must create a hazard mitigation plan to meet the requirements of Senate <br />Bill 300 and provide a more secure environment for the citizens of the county. <br /> <br /> N. Planning is the key to making mitigation a proactive process and to ensuring that land <br /> subject to hazards is identified and managed appropriately to reduce future damage. Planning <br /> .ensures individual mitigation Projects and initiatives are coordinated and so that all local ~ <br /> governments work together and no single action or project hinders the overall goal of creating a <br /> safer Cabarrus County. Additionally, planning plays an important part in generating community <br /> understanding of and support for hazard mitigation. The hazard mitigation planning process <br /> serves to publicize hazard information and create a forum for discussion of how best to balance <br />· the public interest and private property rights. <br /> <br />IH. Mission. Cabarms County and the municipalities in the county will develop and implement <br />a hazard mitigation plan no later than August 1, 2002. This plan will help to reduce or eliminate <br />the effects of natural or man-made hazards on the citizens of the county and their property. <br /> <br /> A. Concept. Cabarms County Government will develop a basic hazard mitigation plan for all <br />areas of the county. Local municipalities may opt to be included in the county plan or they may <br />develop their own mitigation plan. Those municipalities that rely on the Cabarrus County <br /> <br />Draft Basic Plan v.3.1 _/2-,. ~ 3 1 July 2002 <br /> <br /> <br />
