Summary
Palm Beach County Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS)
The Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) is a unified, coordinated effort among
County and municipal governments to reduce the county's vulnerability to the
impacts of identified natural and man-made hazards. Among its primary
missions, the Strategy serves as a basis for comprehensive mitigation planning,
project identification and prioritization, and provides assistance to project
sponsors in securing and allocating available federal, state, local and other
disaster mitigation assistance funds.
LMS projects cover a range of topics including major drainage improvement
projects, hardening of public structures, Emergency Operation Center purchases,
etc.
The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2000) and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) require communities to adopt a hazard
mitigation plan in order to be eligible to receive pre-disaster and post-disaster
federal funding for mitigation purposes. Accordingly, Palm Beach County and its
37 municipalities coordinated a public process to revise and amend the Unified
Local Mitigation Strategy to bring it into compliance with the federal guidelines
established in response to the DMA2000. As a result, the LMS closely adheres to
guidelines and criteria provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
and Florida Department of Community Affairs.
The Recovery & Mitigation section of Palm Beach County Division of Emergency
Management provides administrative and technical support to the LMS and
serves as the primary liaison with state and federal offices on LMS matters.
1.0 PURPOSE AND PROGRAM ORGANIZATION
The Palm Beach County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) was formally adopted by the
county, municipalities, and the LMS Steering Committee in 1999. Initial development of the LMS
was funded, in part, by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (FDCA) with Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds earmarked for the development of
comprehensive hazard mitigation planning.
The LMS was established and continues to operate in accordance with prevailing federal, state
and local guidelines and requirements. In 2004 the plan and program were substantially
modified to improve operational effectiveness and to comply with new federal guidelines
established in response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000.
1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of the Palm Beach County LMS is to develop and execute an ongoing unified
strategy for reducing the community's vulnerability to identified natural, technological and
societal hazards. The strategy provides a rational, managed basis for considering and
prioritizing hazard-specific mitigation options and for developing and executing sound, cost-
effective mitigation projects. The LMS also provides a basis for justifying the solicitation and use
of local, state, federal and other monies to support hazard mitigation projects and initiatives.
1.1 PROGRAM ORGANIZATION
1.1.1 Original LMS Structure
The original LMS structure consisted of three levels; (1) the larger body of public agencies, non-
profit organizations, private institutions, and members of the public at large interested in
participation in LMS activities, (2) the Steering Committee, and (3) subcommittees.
The Steering Committee, the policy and decision body of the LMS, consisted exclusively of
designated representatives from the county and the 37 municipal jurisdictions. Voting rights
were restricted to one officially designated primary member and two alternates from each
jurisdiction. Each jurisdiction had one vote on LMS matters and a quorum vote was required for
Steering Committee approval. Written notice from the manager/mayor of the jurisdictional
governing body to the Chair of the LMS Steering Committee or to the Director, Palm Beach
County Division of Emergency Management was required to designate new voting members.
While jurisdictions could have multiple voting representatives present at any Local Mitigation
Strategy meeting, each jurisdiction was limited to one vote.
While voting on important LMS issues was restricted as described above, attendance and
participation in general meetings was open to the community at large.
An LMS Chair and Vice Chair were elected every other year, Unlimited successive two year
terms were permissible at the will of the Steering Committee.
1- 1
The LMS Chair was authorized to establish standing or ad hoc subcommittees as needed to
further the goals and objectives of the LMS.
Four subcommittees were established in the early stages of the LMS to assist with initial
program and plan development. They included: The Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis
Subcommittee, the Outreach and Education Subcommittee, and the Financial and Legal
Issues Subcommittee. Over the course of the project, the Outreach and Education
subcommittee evolved and changed its name to the Community Rating System (CRS)
Subcommittee to reflect its growing focus on CRS outreach and education and other CRS
issues. The Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis subcommittee and Financial and Legal Issues
subcommittees gradually became inactive as the LMS matured, but were subject to reactivation
if future needs warranted. A fifth subcommittee, the Update/Review Subcommittee, was
created to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the LMS and recommend changes to
ensure the LMS plan remained current, compliant, focused, and responsive to community
interests and needs.
An additional standing subcommittee, the Evaluation Panel was established specifically to
review, score and prioritize LMS mitigation projects submitted by LMS steering committee
members and other partner organizations in accordance with guidelines, procedures and criteria
developed early in the program. Under the original project prioritization process, the Panel
prepared and submitted Prioritized Project Lists (PPLs) to the Steering Committee for approval
and adoption twice a year. With FEMA's issuance of new funding criteria based largely on
benefit-cost justifications the role and skill requirements of the Evaluation Panel has to be
reexamined.
1.1.2 Revised LMS Structure
In July 2003, the Update/Review Subcommittee was reconstituted as an Administrative
Subcommittee with the broader mission of providing guidance and assistance necessary to
bring the plan and program into compliance with the new federal guidelines and criteria
established in response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and Title 44 Code of Federal
Regulations. This process is explained in Section 1.2.4. The group met numerous times over
the course of an 18 month period to review FEMA's feedback, expectations and requirements,
develop plans and strategies for the revision process, and monitor and review plan revisions.
The group's charter was eventually expanded to include taking a critical look at the
effectiveness of the overall LMS program. A number of important recommendations and actions
emerged from this later responsibility.
Among the Committee's observations were the following:
. The LMS Steering Committee, composed of 38 members, was considered too large and
unwieldy to serve as an effective policy and decision body
. Although the county had many active mitigation programs and initiatives, too often they
functioned as independent, uncoordinated activities
. Greater attention needed to be given to ensuring mitigation projects were cost-effective
and focused on threat-specific mitigation priorities and strategies
. Here-to-for the LMS had failed to effectively tap the county's vast resources and expert-
rich public and private sectors.
1- 2
. The LMS had not adequately explored and used non-traditional sources for potential
mitigation funding assistance
. Many of the county's jurisdictions, particularly the smaller municipalities, lack the In.
house technical resources, funds, and expertise necessary to effectively execute
FEMA's mandated Benefit-Cost analyses
. The plan revision process afforded an excellent opportunity to also reconsider and
revamp the LMS program structure and operating philosophy, and
. The increased competition for scarce mitigation assistance funds would undoubtedly
place a premium on optimizing program efficiency and responsiveness
In response to these and other considerations, in June 2004 the LMS voted unanimously to
adopt and phase into implementation a number of significant program changes and
enhancements proposed by the Administrative Subcommittee. Among the executed and/or
planned actions are the following:
LMS Steerinq Committee
Effective July 2004, the LMS Steering Committee was reduced from thirty-seven members to
fifteen members... comprised of: seven municipal representatives, two county/local government
representatives, one state/federal government representative, one university/college
representative, one healthcare industry representative, one non-profit representative, and two
representatives from the private sector. The Steering Committee serves as the Local Mitigation
Strategy program board of directors. As such, it is the primary decision and policy body for LMS
sponsored mitigation activity.
LMS Workinq Group
The LMS Working Group is the full working body of the LMS, comprised of a broad cross-
section of public sector and private sector organizations and individuals, including the general
public. The Working Group serves as an umbrella organization for coordinating all mitigation
programs and activities, supplies the staffing and expertise for the standing and ad hoc
committees of the LMS, and is the primary mechanism and forum for exchanging information
and mobilizing the vast expertise and resources of the community.
Standinq Committees
At this writing, plans called for establishing a number of standing LMS committees for the
purpose of facilitating, bolstering, and supporting LMS activities. These include:
. Evaluation Panel, designated to review, evaluate, score and rank mitigation projects
applying established local, state and federal prioritization processes and criteria
. Flood Mitiqation Committee - Technical Advisory Subcommittee, comprised of flood
mitigation experts from public and private sector organizations, is charged with
assessing county-wide flood risks and vulnerabilities without regard to jurisdictional
boundaries and recommending flood mitigation priorities, strategies, plans and projects
for LMS consideration and action.
. Flood Mitiqation Committee - CRS Outreach Subcommittee, comprised of
representatives from the county's 26 CRS communities, who collaborate on a full range
of Outreach Projects Strategy (OPS) initiatives and promote CRS participation
1- 3
. Proiect Support Committee - FundinQ Support, comprised of public and private-sector
individuals experienced with grant applications and funding sources, who will support the
LMS by: identifying and researching potential funding sources; advising members on
application requirements, schedules and processes; monitoring fund availability, etc.
. Proiect Support Committee - Application Support, comprised of technical and
administrative experts who, as available and upon request, will provide project
applicants (particularly those from smaller jurisdictions) advice, guidance and assistance
on the preparation of project applications and benefit-cost calculations.
Ad Hoc Committees
In addition, a number of ad hoc committees are expected to be mobilized as needs arise. These
committees include:
. Membership Committee, charged with identifying and recruiting LMS members,
supporting and facilitating the staffing of committees, assisting with the preparation and
implementation of LMS and committee promotional activities, and supporting the
development and nurturing of mitigation-relevant public-private partnerships.
. StrateQv Development Committee, charged with facilitating the development of hazard-
specific mitigation strategies and articulating them in actionable terms for potential
project sponsors.
. Special Interest Hazard Mitiaation Committee, charged with facilitating mitigation
strategies for location-specific and special interest hazard areas such as coastal
communities, agricultural communities, wildfire-urban interface communities, the
business sector, etc. and with assisting in identifying special funding sources.
. Wind Hazards Committee, charged with facilitating the development of wind-related
mitigation strategies, projects and special programs (e.g. shutter acquisition and shutter
installation programs for the elderly, handicapped, and economically disadvantaged)
. Plan Revision Committee, charged with monitoring the LMS plan for compliance,
assisting the Palm Beach County Division of Emergency Management staff with cross-
walks and FEMA feedback, assisting the linkage between LMS and other local plans,
and supporting plan updates and revisions
. Administrative Committee, originally established to facilitate and assist the LMS plan
revision process in response to the new federal guidelines evolving from DMA2000. The
committee was also charged with serving as an interim decision body for the LMS until
the Steering Committee was formally organized and functioning.
1.3 LMS PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
Since the Unified Local Mitigation Strategy is written directly from input from all meetings, it is
important to make sure that the entire Palm Beach County community is represented. The
following groups are invited to all Local Mitigation Strategy meetings. Each group has different
circumstances involving participation requirements; however, all groups are ardently
encouraged to participate in the planning process.
Jurisdictions
In order to retain voting rights, to qualify for federal mitigation assistance consideration, and to
otherwise remain a member in good standing, all jurisdictions are expected to conform to the
following standards:
1- 4
. Participation of the voting representative or officially designated alternate( s) in three (3 i
out of four (4) Steering Committee meetings where plan revisions will be addressed;
. Consecutive absences will be cause for disqualification for the LMS, subject to appeal
and review by the LMS Chair. All rights and privileges will be terminated during a period
of disqualification and formal reapplication;
. Participation in subcommittee meetings may be substituted for Steering Committee
attendance in meeting the 3 out of 4 rule pending approval by the Chair;
. Subject to pre-meeting and post-meeting roll calls, participation in special conference
call meetings of the Steering Committee or subcommittees will be credited for purposes
of participation; and
. Have a dully executed resolution adopting the revised LMS plan on file with the county
and the LMS.
In order for a jurisdiction to be eligible for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Flood
Mitigation Assistance (FMA) and Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) funding programs, they must
have an adopted resolution/interlocal agreement adopting the revised LMS on file with the
LMS and have participated in the revision process. Appendix H will include the Board of
County Commissioners agenda item summary along with a copy of all executed adoption
resolutions.
Appendix I includes meeting summaries along with attendance lists documenting
participation in the revision process and ensuring compliance with participation rules..
Non-Governmental Orqanizations (NGO's) and other Governmental Entities
In order to qualify for LMS grant sponsorship, NGO's and other governmental entities must:
. Have an dully executed letter of commitment to the LMS on file with the county and
LMS; and
. In the judgment of the LMS Steering Committee, actively participate in and otherwise
support LMS activities.
The Public and Private Sector
The Palm Beach County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy believes broad community support,
including ongoing public and private sector involvement, is critical to the success of the
program. While participation by private organizations and the general public is strictly voluntary,
their attendance, comments, contributions, and support are actively invited, sought, monitored
and fully documented.
In order to promote the opportunity for broad participation, at a minimum, notices and agendas
for all general meetings of the LMS are posted through some combination of the following:
newspaper ads or public service announcements; postings on county and municipal websites,
announcements on the county's TV station (Channel 20), postings in county and municipal
1- 5
newsletters and calendars, and batched faxes and e-mailings to previous participants. For each
meeting or activity, the methods of invitation used, along with attendee lists, and comments or
contributions made, are documented in meeting summaries and posted in Appendix I. As
appropriate, public and private sector organizational representation in subcommittee activities is
sought as well.
1.4 JURISDICTIONAL ADOPTION OF THE LMS
All jurisdictions wishing to participate in and share in the benefits deriving from the LMS
program must complete and file a fully executed resolution (see Appendix H) which conforms
with the adoption standards jointly established and amended by the Palm Beach County Board
of County Commissioners and the LMS Steering Committee.
1.5 NEW JURISDICTIONS/ENTITIES
In the event municipal jurisdictions are added, deleted, or merged within the county, the LMS
will appropriately adjust its voting member rolls as necessary and require any newly defined
jurisdictions to provide documentation necessary for participation in the program.
1- 6
2.0 GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The LMS guiding principles are an expression of the community's vision of hazard mitigation
and the mechanisms through which it is striving to achieve that vision. The principles address
concerns of the community relative to natural, technological, and societal hazards.
2.1 METHODOLOGY
In formulating the LMS planning process, several techniques have been employed. One
involved a review of appropriate plans, policy statements, laws, codes, and ordinances of each
participating local government. As part of this process, a survey was distributed to each local
government. The surveys provided information about the jurisdiction's development plans and
regulations, and hazard mitigation projects they have implemented. With 37 local governments
involved, defining a community-wide vision becomes far more complex than one local
government defining its mission for local hazard mitigation. Therefore, a facilitated discussion
with the Steering Committee was conducted. Using this approach, a comprehensive list of
hazards of concern to the local governments was developed. Based on the defined hazards,
the Steering Committee through "brainstorming" identified areas of concern. This list included:
loss of life
loss of property
community sustainability
health/medical needs
sheltering
adverse impacts to natural resources (e.g., beaches, water quality)
damage to public infrastructure (e.g., roads, water systems, sewer systems,
stormwater systems)
economic disruption
fiscal impact
recurring damage
redevelopment/reconstruction
development practices
intergovernmental coordination
public participation
repetitive loss properties
historical structures
These concerns, along with information generated from the inventory of local planning
documents and ordinances, resulted in the mitigation goals and objectives established in
Section 2.3.
Palm Beach County's unified mitigation strategy is built upon a comprehensive base of
processes including multi-jurisdictional hazard identification, risk and impact analyses, program
capability assessments, operational and disaster experience and cost-benefit analyses. These
processes, and their results to date, are described in Section 3 of the LMS and in the Situation
Section of the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. These processes are applied on
an ongoing basis and additions and changes will be reflected in revisions to the LMS plan.
Hazards most likely to affect each of the county's jurisdictions, the risks those hazards pose to
each jurisdiction, the impacts those hazards could have, jurisdictional capabilities to implement
and support mitigation strategies, and cost-benefit analyses of mitigation strategies and
2 - 1
projects, are all integral considerations in developing, prioritizing and implementing mitigation
strategies and initiatives at the county and municipal level.
2.2 PROCESS
The strategy used for the development and revision process of the Palm Beach County Unified
Local Mitigation Strategy Plan, consisted of the following tasks:
1. Public involvement
2. Coordination with other agencies or organizations
3. Hazard area inventory
4. Risk and Vulnerability Assessment
5. Coordinated and Integrated Programs and Plans within LMS
6. Review and analysis of possible mitigation activities
7. Continue Public Involvement to ensure a representative plan
8. Local adoption following a public hearing
9. Periodic review and update
This hazard mitigation plan contributes to the overall mitigation strategy outlined above and
illustrated in Figure 2.1 Planning Process Diagram. The Palm Beach County Unified Local
Mitigation Strategy summarizes the activities to assess the effects of storm flooding, hurricanes,
and all other hazards specific to our area and recommends mitigation activities. In following this
strategy, all areas are addressed to reduce the amount of damage after a hazard occurs
through mitigation efforts. Participation is encouraged by any individual, agency, organization
and jurisdiction who would like to take part in the planning process defined in Section 1.
All parties are encouraged to partake in the revision planning process completed at the
"Steering Committee" meetings with suggestions, comments, involvement and feedback
documented from all participants in the meeting summaries located in Appendix I starting from
2003. To ensure all jurisdictions, organizations, and the public are represented throughout the
entire revision of the planning process, each meeting will be operated in accordance to Robert's
Rules of Order. Appendix I will also include the invitation process located in each meeting
summary along with jurisdictions, organizations, agencies, and the public in attendance. These
procedures are in place to meet the overall objective of the LMS which is to have a plan
representative of the entire county and to be a true Palm Beach County Unified Local Mitigation
Strategy.
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 set new requirements to be met in all mitigations plans
across the country. The LMS Working Group decided the work would be completed by the
Administrative sub-committee. The Administrative sub-committee would be open to anyone
who wished to participate. Direction to meet all new requirements would be discussed in the
Administrative sub-committee. The direction was established through a series of sub-committee
meetings. The sub-committee sent requests out to all communities to review and update charts,
2-2
and complete a narrative about mitigation initiatives within each community. In addition, all
communities were asked to review new additions to the plan for comment and recommendation
However, the LMS Working Group, formerly known as the Steering Committee, would ultimately
make the final decision. The public would be invited to all LMS Working Group meetings to
comment before any changes were finalized within the mitigation plan. The meeting summaries
from the revision process along with future meetings will be located in Appendix I. The revision
process followed the steps illustrated above. Also a diagram below illustrates all the
components that made up the new planning process for the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000
requirements. The original planning process documenting public involvement can be located In
Section 4.2.
2.3 MITIGATION STRATEGIES
Palm Beach County's unified LMS encompasses diverse mitigation strategies, including, but not
limited to: hazard elimination, hazard reduction, hazard modification, control of hazard release,
protective equipment, establishment of hazard wa rni ng/ com m un ication systems and
procedures, redundancy of critical resources and capabilities, mutual aid agreements and
public-private partnership initiatives, contract services and resources, construction and land-use
standards, and training and education.
2.4 MITIGATION GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
All mitigation goals and objectives must be consistent with the goals and objectives of the
county and the individual jurisdictional comprehensive plans, codes and ordinances, as well as
any other jurisdictional documents reflecting aspirations for the welfare, safety and quality of life
of their citizens.
In a county as large and diverse as Palm Beach County, no single list of mitigation goals is
going to encompass every conceivable mitigation goal and objective. Moreover when these
defined goals and objectives below are met, vulnerabilities to these identified hazards will be
reduced or avoided. The overall objective is to reduce the vulnerabilities to hazards which
directly affect Palm Beach County.
Goals
1. To reduce the loss of life, property, and repetitive damage from the effects of natural,
societal and technological hazards from all sources but especially, in the county,
hurricanes, tornadoes, major rainfall and other severe weather events.
2. To achieve safe and fiscally sound, sustainable communities through thoughtful
long-range planning of the natural and man-made environment.
3. To take preventative actions to reduce the number of repetitive loss properties
published annually by FEMA on the list of "Repetitive Loss Properties".
4. To qualify the county and jurisdictions for incremental improvements on the
Community Rating System classification in relation to flood insurance under the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and to reduce flood hazards.
5. To optimize the effective use of all available resources by establishing public/private
partnerships, and encouraging intergovernmental coordination and cooperation.
2-3
6. To increase the continual distribution of information on a consistent basis with
respect to the existence of flood hazards and the availability of measures to mitigate
the problems presented by such hazards.
7. To consistently increase the level of coordination of mitigation
management concerns, plans and activities at the municipal, county,
state and federal levels of government in relation to all hazards.
8. To establish a program that facilitates orderly recovery and
redevelopment, and minimizes economic disruption following a
disaster.
9. To ensure an enforceable commitment for the implementation of the
local hazard mitigation strategy.
The ultimate objectives of the LMS process are to:
1) Improve the community's resistance to damage from known natural,
technological, and societal hazards;
2) Place Palm Beach County in a position to compete more effectively for
pre and post-disaster mitigation funding;
3) Encourage strong jurisdictional, nongovernmental and public participation
with all LMS activities;
4) Reduce the cost of disasters at all levels; and
5) Speed community recovery when disasters occur.
Adoption of this strategy will provide the following benefits to both County and municipal
governmental entities:
0 Compliance with Administrative Rules 9G-6 and 9G-7, Florida
Administrative Code (F.A.C.), requirements for local comprehensive
emergency management plans to identify problem areas and planning
deficiencies relative to severe and repetitive weather phenomenon, and
to identify pre and post-disaster strategies for rectifying identified programs;
0 Universal points from the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP)
Community Rating System (CRS) Program for developing a Floodplain
Management Program, which may help further reduce flood insurance
premium rates for property owners;
0 Access to FEMA's Federal Mitigation Assistance grant program, which
provides funding for pre-disaster mitigation projects and activities;
0 Compliance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 allowing Palm
Beach County to compete competitively for grant money; and
2-4
0 Identify and prioritize projects for funding under the State of
Florida's Residential Construction Mitigation Program, to help
reduce losses from repetitive flooding damage.
Objectives
The Palm Beach County LMS accomplishes the following objectives:
1) Sets forth the guiding principles with which both the County and municipal
governmental entities of Palm Beach County will address the issue of all
hazard mitigation (Section 2.0, Guiding Principles);
1) Identifies the known hazards to which the county is exposed, discusses
their range of impacts, and delineates the individual vulnerabilities of the
various jurisdictions and population centers within the county (Section
3.0, Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Analysis);
2) Reviews and evaluates the existing legal, regulatory, and response
framework currently in place to deal with hazard mitigation (Section 4.0,
Inventory and Evaluation of Existing Hazard Management Goals, Policies,
Procedures, Ordinances, Projects, and Activities);
4) Develops a detailed method by which the Palm Beach County community
(municipalities and County government) can evaluate and prioritize
proposed mitigation projects along with new federal requirements
(Section 5.0, Project Prioritization Methodology);
5) Develops a conflict resolution procedure by which municipalities and
county governmental entities can resolve any differences that arise over
prioritized mitigation projects or mitigation strategies (Section 6.0,
Conflict Resolution Procedures);
6) Develops the process and schedule by which this entire Unified Local
Mitigation Strategy will be review and updated (Section 7.0, Review and
Revision Procedures for the Palm Beach County Local Hazard Mitigation
Strategy);
7) The Palm Beach County LMS encompasses all jurisdictional and county
plans in relation to striving for mitigation projects that will lessen potential
damage if a hazard occurs.
8) To receive countywide participation to ensure that all ideas and
suggestions have been a part of the planning process.
