Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Consultant will assess the expired 2018 Plan to address gaps such as: • Identify types and numbers of existing and future structures that could be affected by a hazard event. • An estimate of potential dollar losses for each hazard’s effect on vulnerable structures, including methodology. The Consultant will also review the Town’s Comprehensive Community Plan, the State’s 2018/2019 Hazard Mitigation Plan, and the State’s Guide Plans for conformance and compliance. Further, the Consultant shall complete a risk assessment and vulnerability assessment and develop mitigation actions, as follows: • Identify the historic and potential natural hazards and associated infrastructure/buildings/population vulnerabilities through loss estimates/data collection/appropriate and accepted analysis methodologies. • Types and numbers of structures and critical facilities located in the hazard areas. • Existing hazard protection measures (description, responsible entity, past performance, improvements needed). • Land use and development trends to inform future land use decisions. • Address all pertinent hazards, specifically: drought, severe winter weather, severe wind, flooding, and wildfire. • Maps will inventory the following, relative to the hazard areas: • Police/Fire/EMS stations • Emergency shelter • Special population centers • Evacuation routes • Location of structures (delineated by use) as well as land use and population • Local natural hazard mitigation strategies will be revised/developed with the Committee and stakeholders: • List mitigation goal and objective statements that focus on reducing risks from the identified natural hazards. • Identify and analyze a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions and projects being considered to reduce the effects of each hazard, with particular emphasis on new and existing structures and critical facilities. • List and prioritize hazard mitigation projects that best meet Foster’s needs for damage reduction.
