Hazard Mitigation Sample Clauses

Hazard Mitigation. Outcome: Promote resiliency through inclusion of hazard mitigation. 1. When the Applicant is restoring a facility to pre-disaster function, size, capacity, and location, FEMA evaluates the proposed hazard mitigation SOW and cost-effectiveness based on the criteria in Chapter 2.VII.C of the PAPPG. 2. When the Applicant is restoring the function, but changing the pre-disaster capacity of a facility (Improved Project), the proposed hazard mitigation SOW is developed based onthe actual SOW to be implemented; however, the cost-effectiveness is evaluated based on the fixed-cost amount accepted for the pre-disaster restoration SOW. If the capacity is increased, the proposed hazard mitigation SOW and cost is limited to the SOW and cost necessary to mitigate to the pre-disaster capacity of the damaged facility. 3. Applicants must complete the approved hazard mitigation in order to retain the fixed-cost amount accepted for hazard mitigation.

Hazard Mitigation. In the event that a subrecipient does not agree with the determinations made by DHS/FEMA, the subrecipient has the right to file an appeal. This appeal must be submitted in GMS by initiating a New Project Appeal, attaching documented justification supporting the subrecipient’s position, specifying the monetary figure in dispute and the provisions in federal law, regulation, or policy with which the subrecipient believes the initial action was inconsistent. In accordance with 44 C.F.R §206.440, an appeal must be submitted by the subrecipient within the following time frames: a. Any DHS/FEMA or TDEM determination – 60 days from the date of the determination of the appeal written on the DHS/FEMA letter;

Hazard Mitigation. To recognize and encourage mitigation, we consider the extent to which State and local government measures contributed to the reduction of disaster damages for the disaster under consideration. For example, if a State can demonstrate in its disaster request that a Statewide building code or other mitigation measures are likely to have reduced the damages from a particular disaster, we consider that in the evaluation of the request. This could be especially significant in those disasters where, be- cause of mitigation, the estimated pub- lic assistance damages fell below the per capita indicator.

Hazard Mitigation. In approving grant assistance for restoration of fa- cilities, the Regional Director may re- quire cost effective hazard mitigation measures not required by applicable standards. The cost of any require- ments for hazard mitigation placed on restoration projects by FEMA will be an eligible cost for FEMA assistance.

Hazard Mitigation. Any action that would reduce the potential for damages and injuries to values from an incident. Hazardous Material: Substances that are identified, classified, and regulated in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49 and Hazardous Materials Regulations 175. A substance or material which has been determined by the Secretary of Transportation to be capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce and which has been so designated. Incident Command System (ICS): A standardized, on-scene emergency management construct specifically designed to provide for the adoption of an integrated organizational structure that reflects the complexity and demands of single or multiple incidents, without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries. ICS is the combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating with a common organizational structure, designed to aid in the management of resources during incidents. ICS is used for all kinds of emergencies and is applicable to small as well as large and complex incidents. ICS is used by various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private, or organized field-level incident management operations. Incident Commander (IC): This position reports to the AA for the agency(s) having incident jurisdiction. They are responsible for the overall management of the incident including development of strategies and tactics and ordering and releasing of resources. This position may have one or more Incident Management Team (IMT): The Incident Commander and appropriate Command and General Staff personnel assigned to an incident. Indirect Costs: Indirect costs are those items of expense incurred as part of general management and administrative support of an organization. These costs are not attributable to a specific project, program or output, but are distributed among many benefiting activities. Often they are proposed as a percentage of direct project costs and are referred to as administrative costs, overhead, or burden. Examples may include office space, computer equipment, postage, utilities, salaries for administrative activities, such as procurement, personnel, accounting, and so forth. Direct charging of these costs, however, may be appropriate if they can be specifically identified to a project or program and the nature of the work performed creates a unique need or requires an extensive amount of support. These situations are con...

Hazard Mitigation. The very nature of Freezing Rain means that treatments will have virtually no effect initially and ice will form on the carriageway. Mitigation of the hazard is therefore a significant aspect of the actions taken in response to Freezing Rain or rain falling on extremely cold surfaces. The main action is to inform road users of the hazard, however more pro-active measures may be required. Consideration should be given to closing the road as the rain arrives and holding traffic (rather diverting) until such times as it is deemed safe to proceed. This is, however, likely to be problematic to implement due to the requirement of Police Scotland resources to legally stop and hold traffic until BEAR Traffic Management resources can be deployed. In such weather conditions deployment of traffic management may present additional hazards for BEAR resources and safety of the workforce must be taken into account. Police Scotland response to Freezing Rain would be subject to other ongoing operational commitments and would have to be part of a multi- agency operation. It should be noted that if traffic is removed from a trunk road, additional risks by displacing strategic traffic onto smaller, restricted local road authority roads with less safety features, such as safety fencing, will place diverted traffic at increased risk. Each closure or diversion will need to be carefully considered on its own merits and made on a local basis considering the local circumstances. Where geographically available, the national network of fixed Variable Message Signs, operated by Traffic Scotland should be used to warn road users of the hazard. The requirement for advance VMS warnings and their timings should be made in advance at the Conference Call in Section 11.1. A follow up call to Traffic Scotland by the Duty Controller or WSDO will be required to initiate activation of event specific warnings, based on information from the Road Weather Stations, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Drivers or Police Scotland. In areas where available, the TRISS units may be deployed to provide localised warnings utilising the vehicle mounted VMS. Paragraph 5.6.6.4 of the Highways Agency NMM recommends ‘SKID RISK SLOW DOWN’ as the most appropriate to use, however it does not convey the serious nature of the skid risk, and a more appropriate legend may be: BEAR Scotland’s Media Liaison Officer should be contacted in order that national and local broadcast media, i.e. BBC Radio Scotland, Radio Tay, Moray Firth etc, can be updat...

Hazard Mitigation. POSITION SPECIFIC ANNEXES HAZARD ANNEX FUNCTIONAL ANNEXES APPENDIXES PROJECT APPROACH Step 1: Define the Project and Form a Collaborative and Core Planning Team Step 2: Threat and Hazard Assessment and Establish Goals and Objectives Step 4: Review and Analyze Existing Plans, Policies, and Agreements Step 5: Develop and Present Draft of Plan Step 6: Plan Review and Refinement Step 6: Presentation and Approval of Final Plan and Training Planning meetings will be conducted using a combination of in-person and/or video and audio conferencing. Experience has found that City employees and other key stakeholder attendance and participation in planning meetings increases when people are provided the option of attending the meetings in person or virtually through video or audio conferencing. The Core Planning team may hold day long meetings that are broken into one to two hour blocks that city and community stakeholders can attend based on their specific area of expertise or contribution. This ensures meeting participants only attend meetings that require their specific contribution. However, all city and community stakeholders will be invited to attend any meeting they choose. The meetings and planning steps will progress according to the following six (6) steps or milestones. Step 1: Define the Project and Form a Collaborative and Core Planning Team

Hazard Mitigation. Any action taken to reduce exposure to, probability of, or potential loss from hazards. Measures may include zoning and building codes, floodplain buyouts, and analysis of hazard-related data to determine where it is safe to build or locate temporary facilities.

Hazard Mitigation. Any cost-effective measure which will reduce the potential for damage to a facility from a disaster event.
