City of Yakima Hazard Mitigation Plan 2015
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Authority
Section 322 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5165,
as amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA) (P.L. 106-390), provides for States, Tribes, and local
governments to undertake a risk-based approach to reducing risks to natural hazards through mitigation planning.
The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4001 etseq, reinforced the need and
requirement for mitigation plans, linking flood mitigation assistance programs to State, Tribal and Local Mitigation
Plans.
After a presidential major disaster declaration, mitigation funding becomes available. The amount is based on a
percentage of the total federal grants awarded under the Public Assistance and Individuals and Households
Programs for the entire disaster. Projects are funded with a combination of federal, state, and local funds.
Information on this program and application process is disseminated at public briefings and by other means.
Section 322 of the amended Stafford Act essentially states that as a condition of receiving a disaster loan or grant:
"The state and local government(s) shall agree that natural hazards in the areas affected shall be evaluated and
appropriate action taken to mitigate such hazards, including safe land -use and construction practices. For
disasters declared after November 1, 2004, all potential applicants (sub -grantees) must have either their own, or
be included in a regional, locally adopted and FEMA approved all hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible to
apply for mitigation grant funds."
The regulations governing the mitigation planning requirements for local mitigation plans are published under 44
CFR §201.6. Under 44 CFR §201.6, local governments must have a FEMA -approved Local Mitigation Plan in order
to apply for and/or receive project grants under the following hazard mitigation assistance programs:
➢ Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) provides funds to States, Territories, Indian Tribal governments,
local governments, and eligible private non -profits (PNPs) following a Presidential major disaster declaration.
➢ Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM)
➢ Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA)
The Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) programs provide funds
annually to States, Territories, Indian Tribal governments, and local governments. Although the statutory origins
of the programs differ, both share the common goal of reducing the risk of loss of life and property due to
natural hazards.
RATIONALE
The Yakima County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan includes resources and information to assist
county residents, public and private sector organizations, and others interested in participating in planning for
natural and technological hazards. The mitigation plan provides a list of activities that may assist Yakima County
in reducing risk and preventing loss from future hazard events. The action items address multi -hazard issues, as
well as activities forflood, landslide, severe winter storm, windstorm, wildfire, earthquake, volcanic eruption and

hazardous materials. Yakima County referenced the 2013 Washington State Enhanced State Hazard Mitigation
Plan for state-wide hazards.
The City of Yakima has developed this specific attachment to the Yakima County Multi -Jurisdictional Hazard
Mitigation Plan. The City will adopt the county -wide HMP as both a reference and information guide.
For purposes of the City of Yakima HMP, these are identified threats and hazards:
Drought
Earthquakes (6.5 or greater)
Extreme Temperatures
Floods (River and Streams)
Severe Wind Storms
Severe Winter Storms
Tornadoes
Volcanic Eruptions
Wildland Fires
What is the Plan Mission?
The mission of the City of Yakima Hazard Mitigation Plan is to promote sound public policy designed to protect
citizens, critical facilities, infrastructure, private property, and the environment from natural and technological
hazards. This can be achieved by increasing public awareness, documenting the resources for risk reduction and
loss -prevention, and identifying activities to guide the city towards building a safer, more sustainable community.
What are the Plan Goals?
The plan goals describe the overall direction that Yakima County jurisdictions, organizations, and citizens can take
to work toward mitigating risk from natural and technological hazards.
The goals represent stepping -stones between the broad direction of the mission statement and the specific
recommendations outlined in the action items.
1. Protect Life, Property and Public Welfare
➢ Implement activities that assist in protecting lives by making homes, businesses, infrastructure, critical
facilities, and other property more resistant to losses from natural and technological hazards.
➢ Reduce losses and repetitive damages for chronic hazard events while promoting insurance coverage for
catastrophic hazards. Improve hazard assessment information to make recommendations for
discouraging new development and encouraging preventive measures for existing development in areas
vulnerable to natural and technological hazards.
Building a Disaster Resilient Community
City of Yakima Hazard Mitigation Plan 2015
2. Public Awareness
Develop and implement education and outreach programs to increase public awareness of the risks associated
with natural and technological hazards.
➢ Provide information on tools, partnership opportunities, and funding resources to assist in implementing
mitigation activities.
3. Natural Systems
➢ Encourage development of acquisition and management strategies to preserve open space.
4. Partnerships and Implementation
➢ Strengthen communication and coordinate participation among and within public agencies, citizens, non-
profit organizations, business, and industry to gain a vested interest in implementation.
➢ Encourage leadership within public and private sector organizations to prioritize and implement local,
county, and regional hazard mitigation activities.
S. Emergency Services
➢ Establish policy to ensure mitigation projects for critical facilities, services, and infrastructure.
Strengthen emergency operations by increasing collaboration and coordination among public agencies,
non-profit organizations, business, and industry.
➢ Coordinate and integrate natural and technological mitigation activities, where appropriate, with
emergency operations plans and procedures.

3. Risk Assessment Profile
City of Yakima Hazard Mitigation Plan 2015
Risk Assessment Tool
The City of Yakima Risk Assessment tool is an Excel spreadsheet, which is designed to measure the city's risk from
the effects of various hazards. The tool is based on a formula that weighs the probability and severity of potential
impacts against preparations in place which are intended to minimize these impacts. Using a simple 1 to 5 scale,
the probability of occurrence and the impact potential are tabulated along with mitigation efforts and the
resources available to respond to the hazard. The score is based on a formula that weighs risk heavily but provides
credit for mitigation and response and recovery resources. The higher the score, the higher the jurisdiction's risk
from the hazard.
Scoring Guidelines.
There are eight risk assessment factors contained in the spreadsheet. All factor scoring is done on a scale of 1-5.
The formula contained in the spreadsheet calculates higher scores in the occurrence and impact columns as
increasing risks, while higher scores in the mitigation and resource categories lower the overall risk score giving
credit for steps taken to reduce the likely impact. Based your scoring on a "worst-case scenario." The following
guidelines will assist you in scoring each hazard.
Historical Occurrence (Frequency):
Based on the number of occurrences: At least one occurrence every 1-4 years = 5; At least one occurrence every
5-10 years = 4; At least one occurrence every 11-50 years = 3; At least one occurrence ice every 51-100 years = 2; Has
not occurred, but for planning purposes should be evaluated =1.
Probability of Occurrence:
Based on the statistical probability of the hazard occurring in a given year. This may be obtained by scientific
research or may simply be an educated guess. The higher the probability, the higher the score. Use the following
guideline in determining you score. If less than 5% score 1, if 5% to 10% score 2, if 10% to 20% score 3, if 20% to
40% score 4, and score 5 if greater than 40% probability.
Human Impact:
Score based on greatest possible impact should worst-case event occur within the jurisdiction. Consider the likely
number of fatalities, injuries, homeless, etc. Score 1 low - 5 highest.
Property Impact:
Score based on the economic costs of the event, including both direct and indirect property damage from the
hazard. Minor damage would be a 1 while a total loss should be a 5. Score 1 low - 5 highest.
Business Impact:
Score based on factors such as service impact, lost wages, revenues, and taxes. Consider cost of relocation,
permanent damage to valuable resources, etc. Score 1 low - 5 highest.
Mitigation Activities:
Based on steps taken to mitigate the hazard such as structural and redundant technical systems. The more
mitigation measures taken, the higher the score. Score 1 low - 5 highest.
Building a Disaster Resilient Community
13
' City of Yakima Hazard Mitigation Plan 2015 EM
Internal Resources:
Base your score on the internal response and recovery resources. High scores should be given when there are a
formal on-site response teams, or recovery teams. Score 1 low - 5 highest.
External Resources:
Base your score on the external resources that would be immediately available. This would include the local
jurisdictions. Give higher scores if there are specialized equipment and responders available or if contractor
support such as specialized equipment, is immediately available. Score 1 low - 5 highest.
Understanding the Scores
Based on the weighted scoring formula hazards that are relatively high will score 3.5 or higher. The spreadsheet is
programmed to change colors based on the score as follows:
Red II°fi h Risk Greater thai ni 3.
Green Low Risk Less than 2.0
These scores are based on subjective judgments but, nonetheless, they provide a means to quickly rate the
jurisdiction's risk from various hazards. Based on this risk scoring, priorities for increased mitigation and
preparedness activities can be determined.

Hazard Impact on Critical/Essential Service Infrastructure
Generally, a catastrophic incident will demand extraordinary actions from state agencies and local jurisdictions -
actions for which we are not currently well prepared. The City of Yakima is vulnerable to technological and
natural hazards with the potential to cause significant casualties and infrastructure damage. Disasters labeled
'major' are not uncommon and the Yakima County Comprehensive Emergency Management Program (CEMP)
addresses the response requirements of floods, earthquakes, hazardous materials and wildfires. These incidents
cause injuries, loss of life and damage in a relatively limited area. Current procedures provide response and
recovery for these incidents including terrorist incidents. In contrast a catastrophic incident impacts a large area
or across many societal sectors. Mitigation efforts reduce impacts and current mitigation efforts are focused on
many of the catastrophic scenarios in the City of Yakima; however a catastrophic incident is one that. overwhelms.
The nature and extent of damage; number, location and severity of personal injuries; type, availability and
condition of surviving resources and the damages to critical infrastructure all are likely to be in the extreme range.
Warning may or may not be available.

Repetitive Loss Properties
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) defines a repetitive loss property as, ".. those [properties]
for which two or more losses of at least $1,000 each have been paid under the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) within any 10 -year since 1978." A property is defined as a "severe repetitive loss property" when it meets
one of these conditions:
1. Four or more separate flood claim payments have been made and each claim payment exceeds $5,000; or
2. At least two flood claim payments have been made and the cumulative payments exceed the value of the
property.

City of Yakima Hazard Mitigation Plan 2015
2015-2020 Hazard -Specific Action Items Annual Review and Progress Summary
Plan monitoring means tracking the implementation of the plan over time. The plan should identify how, when,
and by whom the plan will be monitored. For example, the plan may describe a monitoring system for tracking
the status of the identified mitigation actions and reporting this information on an annual basis. The responsible
agency assigned to each mitigation action should be responsible for tracking and reporting on each of their
actions. Page 33 illustrates the report form for reporting progress on a mitigation action.
Step One: Identify mitigation actions that your planning team has identified for the annual review. The planning
team has the option to address ALL action items, or only those that should be acted on during this first year cycle
of review.
Step Two: Complete a form as illustrated on page 32 for each Mitigation Action identified in Hazard Specific
tables on pages 23-27.
Step Three: Insert the letter indicated in the Action Status onto the following Annual Review and Summary table.
Step Four: Submit the completed form(s) to the City's Emergency Management Office.

OVERVIEW: The Yakima School District is located primarily within the boundaries of the city of Yakima. Serving
a diverse population of nearly 15,000 students, Yakima is the 18th largest district in Washington, the second Larg-
est in Eastern Washington, and the largest Latino -majority district in the state. Every elementary school in the
district provides all -day, every day kindergarten classes; seven magnet programs are offered with concentrations
in science and communication, international studies, and the arts.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS OR INITIATIVES: International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement programs at two
high schools attract students from out of district; an already strong vocational program is growing every date
with a new state-of-the-art skills center in the construction phase; and alternative offerings include a School of
the Arts, Yakima Online!, and the Yakima Home School Partnership.

Risk Assessment Tool
The City of Yakima Risk Assessment tool is an Excel spreadsheet, which is designed to measure the city's risk from the effects of various hazards. The tool is
based on a formula that weighs the probability and severity of potential impacts against preparations in place which are intended to minimize these impacts.
Using a simple 1 to 5 scale, the probability of occurrence and the impact potential are tabulated along with mitigation efforts and the resources available to
respond to the hazard. The score is based on a formula that weighs risk heavily but provides credit for mitigation and response and recovery resources. The
higher the score, the higher the jurisdiction's risk from the hazard.
Scoring Guidelines.
There are eight risk assessment factors contained in the spreadsheet. All factor scoring is done on a scale of 1-5. The formula contained in the spreadsheet
calculates higher scores in the occurrence and impact columns as increasing risks, while higher scores in the mitigation and resource categories lower the overall
risk score giving credit for steps taken to reduce the likely impact. Based your scoring on a "worst-case scenario." The following guidelines will assist you in
scoring each hazard.
Historical Occurrence (Frequency):
Based on the number of occurrences: At least one occurrence every 1-4 years := 5; At least one occurrence every 5-10 years = 4; At least one occurrence every
11-50 years = 3; At least one occurrence every 51-100 years = 2; Has not occurred, but for planning purposes should be evaluated =1.
Probability of Occurrence:
Based on the statistical probability of the hazard occurring in a given year. This may be obtained by scientific research or may simply be an educated guess. The
higher the probability, the higher the score. Use the following guideline in determining you score. If less than 5% score 1, if 5% to 10% score 2, if 10% to 20%
score 3, if 20% to 40% score 4, and score 5 if greater than 40% probability.
Human Impact:
Score based on greatest possible impact should worst-case event occur within the jurisdiction. Consider the likely number of fatalities, injuries, homeless, etc.
Score 1 low - 5 highest.
Property Impact:
Score based on the economic costs of the event, including both direct and indirect property damage from the hazard. Minor damage would be a 1 while a total
loss should be a 5. Score 1 low - 5 highest.
Business Impact:
Score based on factors such as service impact, lost wages, revenues, and taxes. Consider cost of relocation, permanent damage to valuable resources, etc. Score
1 low - 5 highest.
Page 13
Mitigation Activities:
Based on steps taken to mitigate the hazard such as structural and redundant technical systems. The more mitigation measures taken, the higher the score.
Score 1 low - 5 highest.
Internal Resources:
Base your score on the internal response and recovery resources. High scores should be given when there are a formal on-site response teams, or recovery
teams. Score 1 low - 5 highest.
External Resources:
Base your score on the external resources that would be immediately available. This would include the local jurisdictions. Give higher scores if there are
specialized equipment and responders available or if contractor support such as specialized equipment, is immediately available. Score 1 low - 5 highest.
Understanding the Scores
Based on the weighted scoring formula hazards that are relatively high will score 3.5 or higher. The spreadsheet is programmed to change colors based on the
score as follows:
Red High Risk Greater than 3.5
Yellow Medium Risk From 2.0 to 3.5
Green Low Risk Less than 2.0
These scores are based on subjective judgments but, nonetheless, they provide a means to quickly rate the jurisdiction's risk from various hazards. Based on this
risk scoring, priorities for increased mitigation and preparedness activities can be determined.

Generally, a catastrophic incident will demand extraordinary actions from state agencies and local jurisdictions - actions for which we are not currently well
prepared. The City of Yakima is vulnerable to technological and natural hazards with the potential to cause significant casualties and infrastructure damage.
Disasters labeled 'major' are not uncommon and the City of Yakima Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) addresses the response requirements
of floods, earthquakes, hazardous materials, etc. These incidents cause injuries, loss of life and damage in a relatively limited area. Current procedures provide
response and recovery for these incidents including terrorist incidents. In contrast a catastrophic incident impacts a large area or across many societal
sectors. Mitigation efforts reduce impacts and current mitigation efforts are focused on many of the catastrophic scenarios in the City; however
a catastrophic incident is one that overwhelms. The nature and extent of damage; number, location and severity of personal injuries; type,
availability and condition of surviving resources and the damages to critical infrastructure are likely to be in the extreme range. Warning may or
may not be available.

Building ia Resilient Community
Resilience is the ability to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, and more successfully
adapt to adverse events. Enhanced resilience allows better anticipation of disasters and better
planning to reduce disaster losses—rather than waiting for an event to occur and paying for it
afterward.

Preface
"As a concept, Whole Community is a means by which residents, emergency management practitioners,
organizational and community leaders, and government officials can collectively understand and assess
the needs of their respective communities and determine the best ways to organize and strengthen their
assets, capacities, and interests. By doing so, a more effective path to societal security and resilience is
built. In a sense, Whole Community is a philosophical approach on how to think about conducting
emergency management." FEMA
The effectiveness of the city's response to disaster needs is dependent upon the activities that have taken
place before the incident occurs.
Mitigation includes any activities that will eliminate or reduce the probability (chance) of occurrence of
emergency/disaster, and/or activities designed to postpone, dissipate, or lessen the effects of a
disastrous incident.
Preparedness is undertaken because mitigation activities cannot eliminate the occurrence of incidents.
Preparedness is planning how to respond should an emergency or disaster occur, and working to
increase local resources and their ability to respond effectively.
Preparedness activities are designed to help save lives and minimize damage by preparing people to
respond appropriately when disaster is imminent. Proper response requires a current plan, trained
personnel, available resources, communications/ -warning, etc.
Preparedness activities include planning to ensure the most effective, efficient response; efforts to
minimize damages, such as forecasting and warning systems, and laying the groundwork for response
operations such as stockpiling supplies.
Response activities immediately follow the occurrence of a disaster and will save life and property. The
Yakima Emergency Operations Center (EOC) provides for overall policy, direction, and control of the
emergency response and recovery efforts. During the activation and operational phases of the EOC, local
officials should utilize their respective Job Aid to guide them during a response. The Job Aids are not
intended to include every task that may need to be completed common sense and the scale of the event
may dictate what needs to be done.
Whole Community ni Outreach Framework Page
Recovery activities attempt to return the community to normal. Recovery continues until community systems and
services return to normal, or near normal. Short-term recovery returns vital life support systems to minimum
operating standards. Long-term recovery from a disaster may go on for years until the entire disaster area is
completely redeveloped, or utilized for a new purpose. Recovery planning should include a review of ways to avoid
future emergencies.
Overview
"We need to move away from the mindset that Federal and State governments are always in the lead, and build
upon the strengths of our local communities and, more importantly, our citizens. We must treat individuals and
communities as key assets rather than liabilities." FEMA
The objectives of the City of Yakima Emergency Management Program are to protect public health and safety and
prevent loss of life, to preserve property and the environment; to assure continuity of government and government
operations, to restore the community to normal; to mitigate/prevent the causes of damage, and prepare the
community in advance of an emergency. Specifically, the City endeavors to:

Community Principles
1, Saving and sustaining lives is our number one priority, no matter the scale and magnitude of the crisis. We
must stabilize the event within the first 72 hours. Our Locus must shit ftm incidents to individuals and
from processes to products.
2. A disaster event requires that we are prepared to respond in non-traditional ways, well beyond current
local planning.
3. Time is our bi gest enemy; and our approach must focus on preparing and fully empowering impacted
communities, survivors, and society -NGOs, social & fraternal organizations.
4. Our citizens are Lorce multi tiers. Individuals and communities are the most critical response and
recovery assets present during the initial hours and days following an event. We need greater inclusion
paths designed into our participatory planning & preparedness activities.
Numerous factors contribute to the resilience of communities and effective emergency management outcomes.
1.
2
Understand and meet the actual needs of the whole community. Community engagement can lead to a
deeper understanding of the unique and diverse needs of a population, including its demographics, values,
norms, community structures, networks, and relationships. The more we know about our communities, the
better we can understand their real-life safety and sustaining
needs and their motivations to participate in emergency
management -related activities prior to an event. Mw���������n
3. Strengthen what works well in communities on a daily basis. A Whole Community approach to building
community resilience requires finding ways to support and strengthen the institutions, assets, and networks
that already work well in communities and are working to address issues that are important to community
members on a daily basis. Existing structures and relationships that are present in the daily lives of
individuals, families, businesses, and organizations before an incident occurs can be leveraged and
empowered to act effectively during and after a disaster strikes.
Nolle Community Outreach Framework Page 4
➢ Understand community complexity.
Communities are unique, multi -dimensional, and
complex. They are affected by many factors and
interdependencies, including demographics,
geography, access to resources, experience with
government, crime, political activity, economic
prosperity, and forms of social capital such as
social networks, social cohesion between different
groups, and institutions.
➢ Recognize community capabilities and needs.
Recognize communities' private and civic
capabilities, identify how they can contribute to
im rove re- and ost-event outcomes and
Understand Community "DNA"
Learn how communities'social activity is
organized and how needs are met under
normal conditions.
A better understanding of how segments
of the community resolve issues and
make decisions—both with and without
government as a player—helps uncover
ways to better meet the actual needs of
the whole community in times of crisis.
p p p
actively engage them in all aspects of the emergency management process.
➢ Foster relationships with community leaders.
Engage communities through the relationships that exist in everyday settings and around issues that
already have their attention and drive their interactions. Connect the social, economic, and political
structures that make up daily life to emergency management programs.
➢ Build and maintain partnerships.
While certainly not a new concept, building relationships with multi -organizational partnerships and
coalitions is an exemplary organizing technique to ensure the involvement of a wide range of local
community members. The collective effort brings greater capabilities to the initiatives and provides
greater opportunities to reach agreement throughout the community and influence others to
participate and support activities. The critical step in building these partnerships is to find the
overlapping and shared interests around which groups and organizations are brought together.
Equally important is to sustain the motivations and incentives to collaborate over a long period of time
while improving resilience through increased public-private partnership.
➢ Empower local action.
Enable the public to lead, not follow, in identifying priorities, organizing support, implementing
programs, and evaluating outcomes. Empower them to draw on their full potential in developing
collective actions and solutions.
➢ Leverage and strengthen social infrastructure, networks, and assets.
Align emergency management activities to support the institutions, assets, and networks that people
turn to in order to solve problems on a daily basis.
