EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction and Background
Like all counties throughout Florida, the communities of Marion County are vulnerable to a wide range
of natural and technological disasters, as demonstrated by the very high human and economic costs of
the events that recently impacted this part of the state. To address this vulnerability, the Marion County
Working Group for Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) Development was created in July 1998. The
Working Group includes representatives of County agencies and municipal governments, key
community groups and private sector organizations. It has the responsibility to develop a
comprehensive plan, or "Strategy" to eliminate or minimize the impacts of future disasters. The effort to
eliminate or minimize the impacts of future disasters is often termed "hazard mitigation," and when it is
completed, this Strategy will be entitled "The Marion County Local Mitigation Strategy." Its key
purpose is to identify the projects and programs that would be implemented to reduce the impacts of
future disasters as resources to do so become available. These proposed projects and programs are
termed "mitigation initiatives."
The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) provided a grant to Marion County, and any
County municipality that desired to participate, in this planning process. Including Unincorporated
Marion County, all municipalities, have joined the LMS process and are members of the Working
Group. These include the City of Ocala, City of Dunnellon, and the City of Belleview. The Towns of
Reddick and McIntosh elected to not participate in the 2004 LMS program, however since 2004, both
jurisdictions are now active members in the LMS process. Other participants in the Working Group to
date include Marion County School Board, Office of Emergency Management, American Red Cross,
Ocala Economic Development Council, and Ocala Electric Utility.
The Working Group is a partnership of local governments, community organizations, and prominent
elements of the private sector working together to make the communities of Marion County more
resistant to the damages of future disasters.
This document combines appropriate parts of the initial 1999 version and the 2004 update of the Local
Mitigation Strategy, based on the planning accomplished by the Working Group, and is a report to the
community, to local officials, and to the DCA. The 1999 document was originally prepared by
Emergency Response Planning & Management, Inc., consultant to the County assisting with
development of the Strategy. The Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council wrote the 2004 LMS
update and Marion County Growth Management Department staff members authored this update.
The Chapters of this document provide information regarding the efforts to date of the Working Group.
They summarize the analyses to identify hazards threatening the County and define how communities
are vulnerable to those hazards. It also provides a list of the program proposals or projects that were
developed to eliminate or minimize identified vulnerabilities.
The protocol that the Working Group will follow, upon approval by FEMA, includes requesting the
governing bodies review the Strategy, and take action to adopt or endorse the Strategy. The Strategy
will continue to be updated every five years and used in future years as a guide for planning, funding
and developing the proposals listed in it. The DCA will also be using the Strategy as a guide for its
I-1
decisions in making grants of state and federal monies available to local agencies and organizations.
Strategy Goals and Objectives
The Working Group's efforts were initiated with the identification of the goals and objectives that
should be used to shape the Strategy. The Working Group chose to focus on protecting the citizens of
Marion County from natural and man-made disasters, including hurricanes, wildfire, and hazardous
materials incidents.
Strategy Development Highlights
Through coordinated efforts of its many members, the Marion County Working Group has made
significant progress. Activities of the Working Group are overseen by a Steering Committee of
formally designated representatives of the participants; the planning effort itself was originally
conducted through four Subcommittees: Public Affairs, Financial Issues, Mitigation Planning and Risk
Assessment. Currently, these subcommittees meet on a at need basis.
The Working Group has defined, adopted, and initiated a step-by-step planning process designed to
determine the actions needed to reduce impacts of future disasters. Using this information, the planning
participants have proposed one hundred and seven projects and programs to eliminate or minimize these
vulnerabilities. These proposed mitigation initiatives will be incorporated into the Strategy for
implementation as resources become available. The list presented in this document will continue to
expand as the Strategy is updated.
In addition, the relevant existing plans, policies and codes of the local governments of Marion County
have been assessed in light of the hazards confronting the County. Based on the findings of these
analyses, proposals for enhancements will continue to be considered for development and incorporation
into the Strategy.
Further, the Working Group will continue to investigate past disasters that impacted Marion County.
These events often clearly illustrate the types of "mitigation initiatives" that should be considered for
incorporation into the Strategy.
The "mitigation initiatives" that are identified as needed based on these analyses are proposed by each
of the planning participants, and then coordinated by the Working Group to ensure that potential
interjurisdictional impacts or conflicts, or duplication of initiatives, can be avoided.
In addition to defining needed "mitigation initiatives," the Working Group will continue to provide
information to the public about the planning process and to obtain input to update the Strategy. The
Public Affairs Subcommittee of the Working Group will conduct further media campaigns to educate
the public regarding the Strategy. The Financial Issues Subcommittee will conduct a survey of local
businesses and industries to assess vulnerability to future disasters. The Strategy is to assure the
economic well being of the community after a disaster.
Contents of the Document
The Strategy provides information both describing activities of the Working Group and results of its
I-2
planning. The Administrative Section provides administrative information regarding the Working
Group activities in developing the Strategy. The document is intended to illustrate the format and scope
of the Strategy as it is to be issued in its initial form. It consists of the bylaws and procedures by which
the organization operates, as well as explaining the development and processing of mitigation initiatives
for incorporation into the Strategy.
The document contains information that will be common to all participants. Then, each local
jurisdiction is provided with its own separate portion of the Strategy for its use. This reflects the
Working Group's policy that each local jurisdiction and organization must make its own decisions
regarding the mitigation initiatives it wishes to implement, as well as the priorities that they should be
given. The proposed mitigation initiatives listed in this document have been reviewed and coordinated
by the Working Group.
Mitigation Initiatives Proposed to Date
As previously mentioned, the findings of this planning have resulted in ninety-four proposals, or
mitigation initiatives, to be incorporated into the Strategy. As the Strategy is updated, this list will
continue to grow and change, as additional information becomes available. Mitigation initiatives will be
deleted as they are completed, whether through the LMS process or independent of it.
The Next Steps
This document serves as the updated Local Mitigation Strategy developed by the Marion County
Working Group. In the years ahead, the Working Group will continue to build on the foundation of the
Strategy by updating, modifying and expanding the list of proposed mitigation initiatives and seeking to
initiate them. In future years with this type of ongoing effort, the vulnerability of Marion County to the
human and economic impact of disasters will continue to decrease.
Participation in the 2009 LMS Proceedings
In accordance with the requirements for participation, a more thorough description of involvement by
the Working Group, the public and the surrounding communities has been provided in the 2009 update.
Since the first LMS meeting, persons representing the public and private sector have joined and
contributed to the work of the Working Group’s four subcommittees and the Steering Committee to
observe the development of the plan. As the process continues to move forward, in future years it is
hoped that representation will increase and participation will be evident in a number of initiatives and
public support. The participation rate in the LMS has seen a rise and fall primarily based on the
existence of a threat or the occurrence of a threat in the preceding months. Public participation measures
will include:
Public Workshop. At a minimum, there will be one public workshop held after the
completion of the draft Plan and prior to the plan’s approval in order to solicit formal
public comments on the LMS document.
Public Hearings – City and County Commission Meetings. Municipal representatives, or
I-3
the Public Affairs Subcommittee from the Working Group, will provide progress reports
to City and County Board of Commissioners.
Website. The Working Group posted the 2004 and draft 2009 LMS and corresponding
documents on the Marion County website to further involve neighboring communities,
local and regional agencies and other interested participants in the LMS update process.
Any suggestions or comments pertaining to the LMS document may be e-mailed or
faxed to the Marion County Planning Division.
Additionally, neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation
activities, agencies that have authority to regulate development, businesses, academia, other private
interests and non-profit organizations were invited and encouraged to actively participate in the
planning process and were included in all of the meeting announcements and LMS notices.
In October 2009, members of the Marion County Working Group and Steering Committee for Local
Mitigation Strategy were contacted to participate in the 2009 LMS update to satisfy the requirements of
the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2k). The Steering Committee has met regularly since the
initial adoption of the document, many of the Working Group members were active in keeping the
mitigation initiatives current. For the 2009 LMS update meeting, a memorandum was sent to public
and private sector organizations. Representatives from the business community, elected officials,
academia, business associations, homeowner and neighborhood organizations, civic organizations, local
residents and neighboring counties were invited to attend the meeting and encouraged to participate in
the Marion County LMS update.
Each jurisdiction in Marion County participated in the 2009 update of the LMS. Working Group
members were contacted via email and provided a copy of the draft update at the initial 2009 LMS
update meeting. The Working Group membership list is shown in Table I-1.
The LMS update meeting was held at the Marion County Growth Management Department Training
Room. The purpose of the meeting was to solicit input from the Working Group and the public on the
LMS update. Members from the emergency service, public health, law enforcement, information
technology communities were well represented at the meeting. The LMS Working Group participated
in the update process by reviewing drafts and providing comments to Marion County Planning Staff.
Further, the Working Group assisted Staff in locating data and resources to complete the LMS Plan.
Public involvement from individuals outside of the LMS process was limited and was likely due to the
timing of the meeting coinciding with the holiday season. However, members of the public were in
attendance at the meetings and did provide comments that were incorporated into the draft plan.
Further, the 2004 plan and 2009 LMS draft were placed on the County website, which generated further
public input that was incorporated into the 2009 plan.
Changes within the 2009 update
The LMS Working Group reviewed each section of the 2004 LMS plan (planning process, risk
assessment, mitigation strategy, and plan maintenance) for consistency with updated LMS plan
requirements. The review consisted of identifying, updated plan requirements found in the “Local
Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning Guidance” document; necessary data changes for hazards and maps;
new or updated hazards affecting the County, methodology and mitigation goal setting, and necessary
I-4
plan maintenance based on the experience of the Working Group members.
Planning Process
No major updates were identified for the planning process. This section of the plan was revised to
reflect the Marion County Planning Division taking over the 2009 update from the Withlacoochee
Regional Planning Council, who conducted the 2004 update. Otherwise, no changes were made and the
steps to involve the public remain in the 2009 Plan.
Risk Assessment
Upon consultation with the Working Group, it was agreed that the hazards identified in the 1999 and
2004 LMS plans remained valid for the 2009 update. However, there were significant changes in the
data collected related to each of the hazards including utilization of the HAZUS-MH model as well as
updating the plan to reflect the 2008 FIRM changes. New data was generated for each hazard included
in the plan. Additionally, the list of critical facilities was also updated to reflect the development that
has occurred in the County in the previous 5 years. Initial comments received from FDEM encouraged
the County to remove the earthquake and tsunami hazards listed in the Plan. The Working Group
approved the changes proposed by FDEM and the hazards were removed from the Plan.
Mitigation Strategy
Major updates identified for the Mitigation Strategy included adding new goals designed to more
comprehensively address all of the hazards facing Marion County. These goals differ from the more
issue oriented goals approved in the 2004 iteration of the Strategy by focusing on mitigation goals that
address risk on more generalized County-wide basis. Additional changes included, demonstrating
participation in the NFIP by providing, a list of repetitive loss properties, a general description of NFIP
compliance and participation in the CRS, and providing a map of flood prone areas in the County
provided by the Marion County Stormwater Division. Additional changes included updating the 2009
Mitigation Project list and Completed Project list by adding information regarding project timelines,
hazards addressed, and jurisdictions affected for each project.
Plan Maintenance
Several changes were made to the plan maintenance section of the plan. Major changes included
codifying the timelines for updating the LMS on an annual basis in addition to updating how mitigation
projects are scored. Updated scoring criteria were created and new minimum thresholds for the % of
population benefitting from proposed projects were established to reflect the increase in the total
County population. Prior to the change, the Plan included population numbers established in the 1999
LMS Plan. Additional major changes included, establishing a maintenance procedure to remove
mitigation projects from the list when no action has occurred on the project in 5 years. The Working
Group agreed that regular maintenance of the mitigation project list is necessary to properly score new
projects. This maintenance review will be conducted on an annual basis. Minor changes included
updating the Working Group Membership List and contact information.

PARTICIPATING JURISDICTIONS
Marion County
Background
For the 2009 update of the Strategy, this section of the document illustrates the content and format of the
individual jurisdictions represented by the Marion County Local Mitigation Strategy. The updated
Strategy is issued for consideration and action by local governments and participating organizations.
Purpose
This portion of the Marion County Local Mitigation Strategy summarizes the findings to date of the
hazard identification and vulnerability assessment concerning Marion County and lists the mitigation
initiatives proposed to date to address the vulnerabilities identified. The mitigation initiatives listed
herein originate from three sources: 1) the analysis of vulnerabilities applicable to Marion County, 2)
the assessment of the plans, policies and codes of local government, and/or 3) from experiences with past
disasters and emergencies impacting Marion County.
The Marion County Local Mitigation Strategy has been prepared as a County-wide, coordinated
mitigation plan, relying on the cooperative, voluntary involvement of all participating jurisdictions,
organizations and institutions. Consequently, the planning process recognizes that each participant
maintains a separate legal or administrative responsibility apart from the other participants for
implementation of the applicable mitigation initiatives. The Strategy therefore relies on the efforts of the
participant for implementation. In view of this, this portion of the overall Strategy is that which is to be
considered for formal adoption by Marion County and for implementation, as the resources to do so
become available.
Incorporation by Reference
Marion County has committed to voluntary participation in the planning process and therefore
incorporates by reference and accepts for use the bylaws, operating procedures and other policies for the
planning process that have been adopted by the Steering Committee for the Marion County Local
Mitigation Strategy Development.
This portion of the Marion County Local Mitigation Strategy highlights the findings of the vulnerability
assessments conducted for Marion County during the planning conducted to date. It also provides a table
of the mitigation initiatives proposed by Marion County for implementation when resources become
available. Empty Attachments indicate that that particular part of the Strategy has yet to be completed.
Implementation
The implementation of the mitigation initiatives listed in this section is contingent upon Marion County
either receiving the necessary financial support to do so or, as appropriate, the agreement and
endorsement of the applicable governing body to implement the listed initiative. Listing of an initiative
in this section serves only as a proposal for further consideration and action on the part of Marion
II-1
County to minimize the impacts of future disasters.
Future Updating of the Strategy
The Marion County Working Group will continue to participate in the development and maintenance of
the Marion County Local Mitigation Strategy. The Strategy will be updated as specified in the bylaws
and procedures, with continuing assessment of the vulnerabilities of Marion County to the impacts of
future disasters and emergencies, as well as ongoing identification of mitigation initiatives needed to
address those vulnerabilities.

PROCEDURES OF 2009
Documents Reviewed
The Working Group continues to review existing plans, studies, reports and technical information. One
of the primary efforts of the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee is to review the existing plans, policies
and regulations of the local governments in Marion County to search for gaps, inconsistencies or
contradictions that impact the effectiveness of mitigation planning for the County.
Each local government will assist the Working Group by updating their portions of the original LMS.
At a minimum, the documents used in this review process include:
Marion County Comprehensive Plan

The program will be a permanent, voluntary association, open to any and all local governments
and community-based organizations with interest in the vulnerability of Marion County to
disasters.
The program will consider, without partiality, the interests of all sectors and areas of the County
participating in the planning and programming effort.
The activities of the program will be based on continuing cooperation and collaboration among
all sectors of the community.

The program will seek implementation of mitigation initiatives based only on objective and
scientifically valid information.
The program’s priorities will be commensurate with predicted risk posed by hazards threatening
and/or vulnerabilities of the community.
The program will seek to address vulnerabilities to all types of hazards (natural, technological,
and societal) that threaten any area, population, economic sector, or community function within
Marion County and those political subdivisions participating in the program.
Mitigation initiatives proposed through the program will be intended to minimize harm to: people
and property, community services and functions, valuable environmental and/or cultural
resources, and the economic vitality and stability of the community.
Mitigation initiatives will be cost-effective, while striving to weigh both the tangible and
intangible values of the community.
Mitigation plans and programs will seek to balance the use of government regulation, voluntary
cooperation, economic incentives, community awareness, and individual responsibility.
Community acceptance and understanding of the program’s plans and projects will be fostered
through trust in the credibility and integrity of its operations.
These principles have been and continue to be an integral consideration in the development of the LMS,
and specifically used towards identifying the Community Guiding Principles. One of the key objectives
of the process for developing the LMS is to propose mitigation initiatives that would, if implemented,
improve the programs, plans and policies that guide mitigation programming by local government and
other sectors of the community. The guiding principles were initiated with the review of the
comprehensive plan, land development code and capital improvement plan for each participating local
government. A database system lists the areas of most concern to the County and its municipalities in
regards to hazard vulnerability analysis.

Structure and History
The LMS Working Group is a multi-organizational, public and private committee that oversees the
activities and projects involved in maintaining a current Plan. The initial Strategy was approved
September 1999, with Belleview, Dunnellon, McIntosh and Ocala entering into inter-local agreements
with Marion County to create a single unified LMS. The towns of Reddick and McIntosh elected not to
participate in the LMS, however since the initial strategy adoption, all jurisdictions within Marion
County now participate in the LMS. The Contractual Services Agreement and subcontracts remain in
effect as the ongoing basis for updating and maintaining the multi-jurisdictional LMS for the County.
The LMS Working Group was created with five subcommittees led by a Steering Committee. The
organizational structure is as follows:
The Steering Committee:
The Steering Committee provides guidance, leadership and coordination to all five of its supporting
III-2
subcommittees. This committee is responsible for considering and adopting, as needed, the
recommendations of the four subcommittees for mitigation initiatives for incorporation into the Strategy
and for updates of the plan. According to the by-laws of the Marion County, Florida, Hazard Mitigation
Working Group (henceforth the By-laws), the policy-making body can have up to twelve members, with
one representative from each local government and one representative from the business community.
Individuals are appointed to the Steering Committee by majority vote.
The Working Group Subcommittees:
In 2002, the Steering Committee decided to convene the Working Group subcommittees on an at need
basis, where additional research or information is required outside of the bounds of the Steering
Committee or Marion County Planning Staff.
The membership for the four permanent subcommittees is unlimited and open to all interested
jurisdictions, organizations and individuals. The permanent subcommittees may be combined or further
divided into smaller groups at the discretion of the Steering Committee Chair with altered accordingly.
The Steering Committee Chair is elected by a majority vote.
The Public Affairs Subcommittee: This subcommittee promotes activities of the Working Group to
the public. Activities include developing tools for educating the public and coordinating with the
media to raise the community’s awareness of the hazards and the mitigation planning process.
Mitigation Planning Subcommittee: This subcommittee reviews and analyzes the various
Vulnerability Assessments and Hazard Identification studies that are conducted by the Risk
Assessment Subcommittee. The subcommittee also reviews existing plans, policies, codes, and
proposed mitigation initiatives before providing recommendations to the Steering Committee for
formal adoption into the LMS.
Risk Assessment Subcommittee: This subcommittee defines the natural, technological, and societal
hazards that threaten Marion County. Components of communities that are vulnerable to certain
hazards are also identified. The level of vulnerability of various facilities, systems and
neighborhoods are determined by the hazard identification and vulnerability assessment analysis.
This group has oversight of analysis implementation.
Financial Issues Subcommittee: This subcommittee assists the Working Group by identifying
potential funding sources for supporting implementation of the mitigation initiatives incorporated in
the Strategy. The subcommittee advises regarding funding sources and the approaches for seeking
and securing funding by the participants in the planning process.
Updating the 2004 LMS Plan
The process to update the 2004 Marion County LMS Plan began in December 2008 at a public meeting
of the LMS Working Group at the Growth Management Department Building. At the meeting, the
Working Group members reviewed the current adopted LMS plan and at that meeting, determined that
the hazards potentially threatening Marion County (flooding, wildfire, hazardous materials, and mobile
home vulnerability), which were identified in the previous plan, remained significant threats across
every jurisdiction.
III-3
The Steering Committee directed Marion County Planning Staff to begin the process of updating the
Plan in accordance with the 5 year update requirement. The Working Group instructed Staff to prepare
an initial draft Plan for review and comments from the LMS Working Group and the public. Staff began
work on the Plan update in mid-June with a series of internal staff meetings and discussions. A thorough
review of the adopted 2004 LMS plan, in conjunction with review of FEMA’s “Local Multi-Hazard
Mitigation Planning Guidance” document was conducted, in order to identify changes in Plan
requirements with the 2009 submission. Staff prepared a synopsis of the required changes, including
obtaining a copy of the HAZUS-MH model. The previously adopted LMS from 2004 was placed on the
Planning Division’s website for review by the public and the Working Group.
An initial draft Plan was presented in October and a series of public meetings were held to review the
initial draft of the LMS with the full Working Group and the general public. These meetings were held
in lieu of convening separate subcommittees, which meet on an as needed basis. Four public meetings
were noticed and held at the Marion County Growth Management Building on the following dates
12/22/2009, 1/26/2010, 3/26/2010, and 7/1/2010. These meetings were open to the public for comment
and paper and CD copies of the initial plan were provided as requested. Comments from Working Group
members and members of the public present at the meeting and compiled from email correspondence,
were incorporated into the initial draft and sent to FDEM for review. The initial 2009 LMS draft along
with agendas, minutes, and other associated material were also uploaded to the Marion County Planning
Division’s website for public access. Additionally, sunshine notices and press releases to all the major
media outlets in the County, alerting the public to the Plan update process were also sent out.
Marion County Planning Staff received comments from FDEM on the initial draft of the LMS on
3/18/2010. Marion County Planning staff held two additional public meetings to discuss the comments
received from FDEM on the LMS draft with the Working Group and the public. Additional comments
provided by both groups were also incorporated into the resubmission.

Chapter Four
LMS INITIATIVES
Purpose
This section of the document details the guidance for implementation of the Marion County LMS. It
describes the proposed mitigation initiatives to be initiated by each of the participants in the planning
process, as the necessary resources become available to do so. Through implementation of these
initiatives the goals and objectives of the Marion LMS can be achieved.
Background
The primary focus of the Working Group for the 2009 Marion LMS was the nomination and ranking of a
comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions. The LMS will include a list ranking each of the
projects submitted. The list guides County-wide implementation of specific mitigation projects on an
annual basis. If the highest ranked projects are fire related then the user of the document can understand
the County’s greatest needs. With the 2004 hurricanes and the extensive damage they caused in Marion
County, the projects related to hurricane mitigation and recovery will reflect a higher score. The projects
included in the LMS document are eligible for a wide variety of grants and funding opportunities.
Achieving a listed position enables the grant applicant to reference the LMS to the importance of that
mitigation action.
The exact protocol for how each of the projects is nominated and ranked is presented further in the
document. Following this introduction are projects from the 1999 document through the 2009 update.
Development and Processing of Mitigation Initiatives
The mitigation initiatives listed in this section were derived from the step-wise approach used in the
planning process. The initiatives have been identified from the results of:
The hazard identification and vulnerability assessment process undertaken,
The review of current local government plans, policies and codes, and/or
The experiences with previous disasters and emergency events.
Once proposed by a jurisdiction or organization, the initiatives are reviewed by the Mitigation Planning
Subcommittee and Steering Committee of the Marion Working Group. This review is intended to
identify any unintentional or unwarranted interjurisdictional impacts, inconsistencies or duplications. If
there are none, the initiative is considered acceptable for incorporation into the Strategy. If concerns are
raised regarding interjurisdictional impacts, inconsistencies or duplications, then the participant proposing
the initiative is requested to respond with additional information or to appropriately modify the proposal.
IV-1
Once an initiative is accepted for incorporation into the Strategy, any needed additional information to
characterize the initiative and justify its implementation is gathered. Next a priority for implementation
of the initiative is established by using standard criteria to derive a numerical priority score. The higher
the score the higher the priority for implementation by the jurisdiction or organization.
The steps in the process to develop and coordinate mitigation initiatives are detailed in the Working
Group's Operating Procedures.
Format
The format of this section is designed to facilitate formal action on the Marion LMS by local
governments and other participating organizations. The decision makers for participating jurisdictions
and organizations can take action to review and modify only their portion of the Strategy, as needed prior
to its adoption or acceptance.
A proposed mitigation initiative must have an agency or organization that is defined as the "sponsor" of
the initiative. Therefore, in the Marion LMS, all proposed mitigation initiatives identify the sponsor
responsible for its implementation when resources become available to do so.
Each jurisdiction or organization participating in the planning process makes its own decisions regarding
mitigation needs and priorities. Nevertheless, interjurisdictional considerations have been addressed.
During the planning process, the potential for interjurisdictional impacts, inconsistencies or duplication
that would be created by implementation of any initiative is considered and addressed appropriately.
Content
Each initiative provides three types of information:
Acceptance by the participant of the bylaws, procedures and other overall planning criteria adopted
and utilized by the Marion Working Group for LMS Development.
Summaries regarding the hazard identification and vulnerability assessment process undertaken for
the participant's area of concern.
A listing of the proposed mitigation initiative desired by the participant for incorporation into the
Marion LMS. The list names the initiative sponsor, briefly describes its scope and intent, the
anticipated cost or cost impact of the initiative, the preliminary estimated benefit to cost ratio
justifying its validity for implementation, the most likely funding source for implementation, and its
assigned score for priority of implementation (The higher the numeric score, the higher its priority).
The contents and the supporting decision making during the planning were developed by representatives
of each of the participating jurisdictions or organizations by using a technical approach common to all
participants and adopted by the Marion Working Group for LMS Development. This common technical
approach is detailed in the Working Group's Operating Procedures.

According to
Berryman &
Henigar report,
the City of
Belleview has a
serious problem.
There is a need
to eliminate (buy
and destroy)
approximately
10-15 homes in
this area (60
acre) all located
in Belleview.
This is a flood
mitigation
initiative. If no
action is taken,
the homes will
continually flood
and cause
substantial
property
damage.

Lake Weir
Heights Erosion
Mitigation - to
mitigate sever,
chronic erosion
problems that
occur throughout
the subdivision
during heavy
rainfall events.
This subdivision
(unit north of CR
25) consists of
68 residential
lots with 1.1
miles of unpaved
roads. The
drainage swales
are not
functional, and
stormwater
runoff flows
down the
roadways
instead of
through an
appropriate
drainage system.
The steep
grades
throughout the
subdivision
cause high water
velocities and
excessive
erosion.
Mitigation of
these problems
will include
attenuation of a
portion of the
runoff through
construction of
swales, ditch
blocks, pipes,
and paving
ditches and road
surfaces in areas
of excessive
erosion.

LMS Funding Report by Primary Category
The proceeding section gives a comprehensive listing of potential sources of funding for the mitigation
initiatives the Working Group has ranked. The websites and programs are updated where appropriate.
This list of funding is not specifically emergency management oriented, and many projects fall into more
than one category. An excellent example of this is the rural development services that can apply to
technological advances in rural jurisdictions. This funding if obtained could be used to enhance a GIS
emergency system or 9-1-1 phone system. Being creative with the types of funding that can be applied to
an initiative will allow for greater opportunities.

Chapter Five
LOCAL MITIGATION WORKING GROUP ORGANIZATION
Background and Purpose
The local governments, community groups, and private sector interests in Marion County, Florida, have
initiated a comprehensive and coordinated effort to decrease the vulnerability of the communities to
natural, technological and societal hazards. To do this, a multi-agency planning organization has been
established and given the title, "The Marion County Hazard Mitigation Working Group for Disaster
Mitigation and Recovery," or hereinafter, the Working Group. Representatives of the participating local
jurisdictions and organizations have been assigned to the Working Group's Steering Committee and
subcommittees. The mission of the Working Group is to: identify the hazards that threaten the County;
determine the vulnerabilities of the communities to those hazards; and define initiatives that could, if
implemented, reduce those vulnerabilities. The findings of this process are expressed in a single,
coordinated Local Mitigation Strategy for the promulgation and/or implementation by the participating
jurisdictions and organizations. The Working Group is also responsible for updating and maintaining the
Local Mitigation Strategy in future years.
The Working Group has adopted bylaws to guide and control its managerial and policy actions such as
its charter, methods for representation, voting processes, and similar actions. This document defines the
operational procedures by which the Working Group will conduct and maintain the planning process
itself.
The Working Group, its Steering Committee and subcommittees require standardized operational
procedures to accomplish their responsibilities and to strive for achievement of the following objectives
in any action it may take, including but not necessarily limited to the following:
·
To ensure all participants in the Working Group, as well as the community at large when
appropriate, have an adequate opportunity to review and comment upon any proposal for action
by the Working Group,
·
To avoid premature, unwarranted or illegal adoption of any proposal for action in the name of the
Working Group and/or one of the participating organizations,
·
To provide a mechanism for any participant in the Working Group to offer proposals,
recommendations and suggestions for further consideration,
·
To promote effective coordination and consultation between the Steering Committee and its
subcommittees, as well as among the subcommittees themselves,
·
To create a procedure to resolve conflicts between governmental entities during the mitigation
strategy development and to rectify inconsistencies in policies and regulations in mitigation
programming by governmental entities,
·
To provide a mechanism for evaluation of the implementation of the strategy and to provide for
its continued updating,
V-1
·
To establish procedures for coordination of local government mitigation activities with those of
the business community, and
·
To establish a consistent basis to prioritize mitigation initiatives sponsored by members of, or
advocated for implementation by, the Working Group.
Procedure for Introducing and Processing a Proposal for Consideration
Any member of the Working Group or the community at large is encouraged to develop and justify
proposals for consideration and possible action by the Steering Committee or any of its subcommittees.
This procedure anticipates that subcommittees, through a procedure for cooperation and consultation
(described below) will generate many proposals or requests for their own consideration and/or for
consideration by other subcommittees. Nevertheless, this procedure also anticipates receipt of proposals
or other requests for consideration from sources independent of a subcommittee, including, but not
necessarily limited to, the following:
·
Identification of specific hazards, vulnerabilities or risks to be considered in the Mitigation
Strategy,
·
Proposals or concepts for structural and/or non-structural mitigation strategies to be incorporated
into the Strategy,
·
Endorsements and/or criticisms of priorities assigned to mitigation initiatives, endorsements
given to initiatives, or actions to reject initiatives,
·
Needs for and approaches to public information and education programs,
·
Requests for endorsement of immediate mitigation and/or post-disaster redevelopment actions for
specific geographic areas or sectors of the community,
·
Requests for specific actions or endorsements that may or may not be consistent with the mission
of the Working Group.
It can be expected that such requests could originate from a range of sources and in a variety of formats.
Requests are also likely to be actively solicited from members of the subcommittees and the Working
Group. Requests will be processed in the following manner:
Step 1. A request received outside of a meeting of the Steering Committee or a subcommittee would be
transferred to the Working Group's staff for action. A request received during a meeting of the
Steering Committee or a subcommittee would be processed in accord with the instructions of the
chairperson of the Steering Committee.
Step 2. The Working Group's staff will prepare a brief written description of the request on a form
developed for that purpose, which would document the origin of the request, and record the date
and method of disposition of the request by staff.
V-2
Step 3. The Working Group's staff would, if necessary, consult with the chair of the Steering Committee
regarding its disposition and, if appropriate, prepare the request in the form of a draft resolution
for action by the Steering Committee.
Step 4. In most cases, this procedure anticipates that the staff would transmit the request to the lead
agency representative of the most appropriate subcommittee to address the nature of the request.
Step 5. The subcommittee's lead agency representative would be responsible for considering the request
by the subcommittee and taking further action for its disposition.
Step 6. If warranted, the subcommittee could incorporate the request into the anticipated planning
process by the subcommittee itself, refer the request to another subcommittee, or propose the
request as suitable for formal action by the Steering Committee.
Procedures for Formal Action by the Steering Committee
Formal actions in the name of the Working Group will only be taken upon an affirmative vote of the
Steering Committee. Formal actions include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
·
Approval and transmittal of any formal document in the name of the Working Group requesting
funding for any plan, mitigation initiative or other purpose from an organization external to the
Working Group,
·
Endorsement by the Working Group of any proposal or request for funding by any jurisdiction or
public or private organization of a structural or non-structural hazard mitigation initiative,
·
Publication or issuance of a substantive, final document under the name of the Working Group,
·
Issuance of any request or instruction having the intended purpose of initiating actions for hazard
mitigation or post-disaster redevelopment controls by organizations or jurisdictions within
Marion County,
·
Publication of a final Mitigation Strategy prepared pursuant to state guidelines and/or under state
funding, as well as any subsequent final modification or updating of the Strategy,
·
Issuance of any final recommendations in the name of the Working Group regarding post-disaster
redevelopment controls or guidelines for the County and/or its municipalities, and
·
Any other formal action which, in the opinion of the chair of the Steering Committee, warrants
the endorsement and/or concurrence of the Steering Committee.
The determination of whether an action by the Steering Committee is a formal action and subject to this
procedure is within the discretion of the chair of the Steering Committee.
It is anticipated by these the Working Group's procedures that formal actions by the Working Group
itself will take the form of recommendations for local governments, business interests, and other sectors
of the community to utilize their own authorities, responsibilities and resources to implement the
V-3
Working Group's recommendations and the strategy developed. As a voluntary community-based publicprivate organization, the Working Group has no authority in law to independently adopt and enforce any
recommendation, plan or strategy. Its strength is in the willing cooperation of the organizations and
jurisdictions represented on its Steering Committee to implement the provisions of the Local Mitigation
Strategy.
Formal actions taken by the Working Group will occur in the following manner:
Step 1. A proposal for the action is prepared by the sponsor in the form of a draft resolution for action by
the Steering Committee. The draft resolution has attached any document(s) to be issued in the
name of the Working Group and/or supporting documentation to further explain the intents and
purposes of the draft resolution for Working Group action.
Step 2. The draft resolution and attached documentation are provided to the Working Group's staff for
recording. The staff will consult with the chair of the Steering Committee to identify if the
County Attorney or other designated individual should review the proposal for comment prior to
its circulation to the Steering Committee.
Step 3. The Working Group's staff will copy the draft resolution for distribution to the Steering
Committee. In the event that the attached documents are very large in volume or size, a
reference copy for inspection by Steering Committee members and other interested individuals
will be made available at the offices of Marion County Office of Emergency Management.
Step 4. The Working Group's staff will circulate a copy of the draft resolution to members of the
Steering Committee. Except for the case of an emergency meeting, the draft resolution and
attachments must be received by the Steering Committee members two weeks prior to the
meeting at which discussion and action on the draft resolution and proposed action is planned.
Step 5. Prior to final action, in cases deemed warranted by the chair of the Steering Committee, the
action may be postponed until a decision by the County Attorney regarding a need for a public
hearing on the proposal. If there is a need, the matter will be referred to the Public Affairs
Subcommittee to prepare for and conduct the public hearing in accord with County requirements
and prior further action by the Steering Committee.
Step 6. In the absence of a public hearing or after its conclusion, the Steering Committee will take action
on the proposal at the next meeting using one of the following options:
·
Adopt the original proposal as a formal resolution by affirmative majority vote,
·
Reject the original proposal through failure to achieve an affirmative majority vote,
·
Modify the proposal in some manner prior to voting on its adoption,
·
Instruct a subcommittee to analyze the matter further and advise the Steering Committee of a
course of action,
·
Delay action on the proposal until the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Steering
V-4
Committee, or
·
By majority affirmative vote, circulate the proposal to the Working Group for review and solicit
comment during the next Working Group meeting prior to formal action by the Steering Committee.
Step 7. When formal action by the Steering Committee has been completed, the Working Group's staff
will archive a copy with supporting documentation in the project files. The staff will provide a
final copy of the resolution, without supporting documentation, to each member of the Steering
Committee and if appropriate, and under the signature of the chair of the Steering Committee,
distribute the final resolution to the individuals, agencies, or organizations for whom it was
intended.
Procedure for Coordination of Committee Activities
The Steering Committee is responsible for ensuring that the planning process undertaken by the Working
Group and its subcommittee, as well as the actions to be taken, are effectively coordinated within the
management structure of the Working Group as well as with jurisdictions and organizations outside of
the Working Group. Coordination of actions will be accomplished through the following mechanisms:
·
Coordination mechanisms will be built into the routine functioning of the Working Group, and
will include distribution of meeting summaries and minutes to members of the Steering
Committee, summation of subcommittee activities at each Steering Committee meetings, periodic
release of public information regarding the activities of the Working Group, involvement of the
Working Group's staff in subcommittee meetings and similar mechanisms.
·
The Steering Committee is responsible for assuring the overall coordination of activities among
the remainder of the Working Group, working primarily through the assignment of tasks and
activities to the subcommittees and resolving coordination issues during the summation reports in
meetings.
·
Coordination with outside organizations and the community at large will be achieved by assuring
that the Public Affairs Subcommittee is the sole source for information released to the media, and
by having the chair of the Steering Committee be designated as the only official spokesperson for
the Working Group.
·
Coordination of new assignments for subcommittee attention will be achieved by having all such
assignments made by the chair of the Steering Committee either directly during a meeting of the
Steering Committee, or by conferring with the Working Group's staff prior to making such an
assignment.
·
Assignments that originate within a subcommittee that warrant the attention and consideration of
another are to be coordinated by the designated lead agency representative of the subcommittee
through referral to or consultation with the lead agency representatives of the other
subcommittees whose involvement is being sought.
V-5
Procedures for Resolving Conflicts between Governmental Entities
This procedure recognizes that many of the statutory or regulatory mechanisms for promoting hazard
mitigation and post-disaster redevelopment activities are based in the powers and responsibilities of local
government. Further, it is recognized that, with five participating county and municipal jurisdictions in
Marion County, conflicts and inconsistencies in regulations, statutes, policies and programs regarding
disaster mitigation and recovery will arise. Therefore, one of the primary functions of the Working
Group is to identify where such conflicts or inconsistencies exist, and to provide mechanisms to address
and resolve the associated problem areas.
The Working Group's organizational structure is intended to incorporate representation from each
participating local jurisdiction on the Steering Committee, providing a forum to identify, deliberate and
resolve conflicts among governmental entities. This organizational structure is anticipated to enhance
identification and resolution of conflicts between governmental entities by providing an organized
managerial framework supportive of the information exchange, technical analysis, and cooperation
necessary to address and resolve such conflicts. Nevertheless, beyond the organizational structure,
Marion County's Working Group for Disaster Mitigation and Recovery will utilize the following
sequential actions to identify, address and seek to correct conflicts and inconsistencies between
governmental entities:
During the first year of operation of the Working Group, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee, in
cooperation with the Working Group's staff, will develop an initial "baseline" of existing statutes,
regulations, policies and procedures of all of the local government jurisdictions in Marion County. This
baseline will accomplish the following:
·
Inventory each governmental entity.
·
Catalogue their statutes, plans and policies related to hazard mitigation and post-disaster
redevelopment controls.
·
Describe and assess the initially apparent shortfalls, conflicts and inconsistencies of and between
governmental entities.
·
Offer recommendations for the Working Group to consider on modifications and/or corrective
actions to reduce the number and scope of such shortfalls, conflicts and inconsistencies.
1. To the extent feasible, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee, with the support of the
Working Group's staff, will further identify the regulations, standards and/or industry and
business criteria utilized for disaster mitigation and recovery by the key elements of the
private sector of Marion County. These will be assessed in relationship to the mitigation and
recovery programming currently being implemented by the governmental entities of Marion
County. This assessment may also indicate shortfalls, conflicts and/or inconsistencies
between the public and private sector, warranting further attention from the Working Group
as it develops its Local Mitigation Strategy.
2. As the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee develops the proposed Local Mitigation Strategy
V-6
for consideration and adoption by the Steering Committee, or during one of the biannual
updates, this procedure anticipates that definition of mitigation initiatives, and assignments of
priority thereto, will further uncover inconsistencies and contradictions between the desired or
needed programming by governmental entities. When such issues are so identified, they will
become the responsibility of the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee to identify a resolution to
the problem area by using the following steps:
Step 1. The Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will be responsible for identification and
precise definition of the inconsistency, contradiction or conflict in mitigation or
recovery programming or control among governmental entities or between
governmental entities and the private sector.
Step 2. In the event the subcommittee is unable to resolve such conflicts in a timely manner
through discussion at its regularly scheduled meetings, and at the discretion of the
designated lead agency representative of the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee, a
number of individuals from within or outside of the subcommittee will be assigned
to serve on a special, temporary task force to further assess the conflict. The number
of individuals so assigned will be at the discretion of the lead agency representative,
as will the need to request the Working Group's staff to support the task force in the
evaluation. In all cases, the assigned individuals will include both representatives of
the jurisdictions or private sector elements with direct interests in the outcome of the
evaluation, and other individuals with no direct interest in the outcome of the
evaluation, if at all feasible.
Step 3. The assigned task force will assess the situation and formulate a recommendation for
corrective action for consideration and action by the Mitigation Planning
Subcommittee. This recommendation will be prepared in writing and provide a
complete description of the characteristics and importance of the conflict, define the
feasible options available for resolution of the conflict, as well as the basic
advantages and disadvantages of each. The recommendation will also identify the
option preferred by the task force and the underlying reasons for this preference.
Step 4. The entirety of the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will review the
recommendation of the task force and vote for concurrence. The lead agency
representative will then relay the task force's recommendation, with the results of the
vote of the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee on the preferred option, to the chair
of the Steering Committee.
Step 5. The recommendation and vote of the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will then be
presented by the chair of the Steering Committee to that group at its next regularly
scheduled meeting. Formal action on the recommendation will then be taken in
accord with the procedures given above, and/or if appropriate, the Mitigation
Planning Subcommittee will be requested to incorporate the action into the
Mitigation Strategy.
3. The initial baseline will be utilized by the Subcommittee to recommend to the Steering
V-7
Committee one or more proposed actions by governmental entities to correct inconsistencies
and address conflicts and, with the concurrence of the Steering Committee, these would be
included in the Working Group's overall Local Mitigation Strategy for Marion County.
Procedures for Evaluating and Updating the Mitigation Strategy
Once prepared, the Working Group's Local Mitigation Strategy will be evaluated and updated on a
continuing basis. The Mitigation Planning and Risk Assessment Subcommittees will be responsible for
this process.
On no less than a biannual basis, the following steps will be taken by the Working Group to accomplish
this procedure:
Step 1. The Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will conduct the following tasks:
·
Consult with the Financial Issues Subcommittee to determine the current status of funding and
implementation of the priority mitigation initiatives as defined in the current edition of the Local
Mitigation Strategy, as well as to determine if any new federal, state, local or private sources for
funding of mitigation initiatives have become available to the Working Group, local government
or key elements of the private sector.
·
Review the records of the meetings of the Steering Committee and Working Group from the
preceding two-year period to identify any proposals for new mitigation initiatives.
·
Review the status of federal, state and local legislation related to hazard mitigation programming
promulgated during the preceding two year period and identify any regulations, requirements or
guidelines pertinent to the Working Group's mission or the contents and format of the Local
Mitigation Strategy.
·
Request the Public Affairs Subcommittee to assess the community's current attitudes and
perceptions regarding implementation of the hazard mitigation strategy to date, and the types of
modifications and/or enhancements that would likely be acceptable to the community at large,
·
Prepare a written description of the status of the each of the priority mitigation initiatives, new
legislation and/or new funding sources for mitigation initiatives, as well as comments on the
public acceptability of likely changes to the Strategy. Transmit the report to the chair of the
Steering Committee and each of the Working Group's then existing subcommittees.
·
Review all post-event assessments of disasters and emergencies occurring in the intervening two
year period to identify the effectiveness of any mitigation initiatives involved, as well as to
identify any new vulnerabilities or risks indicated by the events.
·
Research any new information regarding hazards threatening the County, the vulnerabilities to
those hazards, and the risks associated with the vulnerabilities.
V-8
·
Review the predicted effectiveness of any mitigation initiatives being initiated at the time of the
assessment, but not yet completed.
·
Prepare a written report regarding the results of the assessment, emphasizing the judged
effectiveness of the mitigation initiatives in place and defining any new risks to the community
becoming apparent during the preceding two-year period.
·
Provide the written report to the chair of the Working Group's Steering Committee and the lead
agency representative to each of the subcommittees.
Step 2. Concurrently with Step 1, the Risk Assessment Subcommittee will accomplish the following
tasks:
Step 3. Using the results of Steps 1 and 2, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will identify those
portions of the current edition of the local mitigation strategy that necessitate expansion,
enhancement or updating. The lead agency representative will then identify to the chair of the
Steering Committee the scope, schedule and resources required to develop a revision of the
Local Mitigation Strategy.
Step 4. Upon instruction from the chair of the Steering Committee, and with the cooperation of the
Working Group's staff, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will prepare a draft of the update
and circulate copies to all members of the Steering Committee.
Step 5. The Steering Committee members will individually review the draft of updated Strategy and
provide comments to the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee for consideration. Following a
reasonable time period for review, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will revise the draft as
needed, and submit it to the Steering Committee for review and release as a draft.
Step 6. Pursuant to the procedure given above, the Steering Committee will take a formal action to
release the draft of the updated Local Mitigation Strategy for public review. Upon an affirmative
vote, the draft will be released publicly for a request for comments, or, if not affirmed, the draft
will be returned to the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee for further revision.
Step 7. The Public Affairs Subcommittee will prepare media releases and legal notices regarding the
availability of the draft for review by the public. The subcommittee would take additional steps
to encourage all members of the Working Group to review the draft in detail prior to the meeting
in order to comment more effectively on the document.
Step 8. The Steering Committee and Working Group's staff would prepare a public presentation
summarizing the findings and conclusions reached by the Working Group in the preceding steps,
as well as highlighting the proposed changes in the Strategy.
Step 9. At the meeting of the Working Group, the presentation prepared in Step 8 will be given to the
members, and comments will be received and recorded for further consideration. The record of
the meeting will remain open for 15 days after the conclusion of the Working Group’s meeting
in order to receive any further written comments.
V-9
Step 10. As needed, following the close of the comment period, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee
will modify the draft of the strategy and submit a final edition to the Steering Committee for
formal adoption in accord with the procedures for such action given above.
Procedures for Coordination of Public and Private Mitigation Initiatives
A major purpose to be achieved in establishing the Working Group is to provide an ongoing forum for
cooperative efforts, information exchange and continuing consultation between the public and private
sectors of Marion County. As such, the presence of representatives of all local government jurisdictions
as well as key elements of the County's private sector on the Steering Committee and its subcommittees
are expected to provide for coordination of public and private sector mitigation initiatives.
In addition to the organizational structure, however, the following responsibilities and provisions will be
followed by each of the Working Group's Subcommittees in the conduct of their activities:
All Subcommittees: Each subcommittee's lead agency will have a responsibility to strive to achieve an
appropriate balance in representation from the local government, private enterprise and community
interest groups. If difficulty is encountered in maintaining a balanced representation, the subcommittee's
lead agency may request assistance from the Public Affairs Subcommittee in recruiting additional
members from other sources.
The Risk Assessment Subcommittee: In all of the analytical efforts conducted by this subcommittee, the
risk exposure of both local government and the business community to the hazards threatening the
County will be considered.
The Mitigation Planning Subcommittee: In all of the planning efforts, including identification of
structural and non-structural mitigation initiatives, this subcommittee will include consideration of
initiatives applicable to local government, business and industry, as well as the general public, whether
such initiatives would affect only one of these sectors of the community or all of them.
The Financial Issues Subcommittee: A major focus of this subcommittee's efforts will be on the financial
vulnerability of the community to disasters, and the need for effective capabilities in disaster recovery.
This subcommittee will work with the Risk Assessment Subcommittee, and the Mitigation Planning
Subcommittee to ensure that the financial concerns of the private sector, as well as the public sector, are
fully considered in the development, implementation and evaluation of the Local Mitigation Strategy.
This subcommittee, in fulfilling its responsibility to seek sources of funding for planning and
implementation of mitigation initiatives, will pursue available opportunities for private sector funding of
mitigation initiatives as well as governmental sources.
The Public Affairs Subcommittee: It is the responsibility of this subcommittee to engage all sectors of
the community in the activities of the Working Group, including the business community. As such, the
subcommittee will be available to assist other subcommittees on maintaining the involvement of the
private sector and an awareness of the mitigation initiatives undertaken by this component of the
community.
Procedure for Identification of Potential Mitigation Initiatives
V-10
The Mitigation Planning Subcommittee is responsible for identification and definition of potential
mitigation initiatives for inclusion in the Local Mitigation Strategy. Input for this definition process may
come from a variety of sources, including but not limited to:

and risk analysis.
·
From local input gained through interaction with all members of the Working Group.
·
From analysis of the inconsistencies or conflicts among the statutes and policies of local
jurisdictions and/or the mitigation programming of the private sector in relation to the public
sector.
·
A proposal from any source for a mitigation initiative received and processed by the Working
Group in accord with procedures given above.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Introduction and Purpose
The underlying purpose of the Marion County Local Mitigation Strategy is to identify how the key
facilities, systems and areas of the community are vulnerable to the natural, technological and societal
(man-made) hazards to which they are exposed. First, it is necessary to identify the hazards that are of
concern and then to specifically define how the elements of the community are vulnerable to those
hazards. This is the "hazard identification and vulnerability assessment process." After specific
vulnerabilities are defined, specific mitigation initiatives to counteract those vulnerabilities can be
proposed for implementation through the Strategy.
The hazard identification process defines the types of hazards that could impact this County and its
communities, as well as the locations where those impacts could occur. With this information, the
vulnerability assessment process identifies if and how the facilities, systems or areas within those
designated locations may be damaged or made inoperable by an event. The Working Group has
undertaken this process and has made significant progress for purposes of the Strategy in both
identifying vulnerabilities and to assist with the identification of mitigation initiatives that are needed to
minimize or eliminate those vulnerabilities.
This section of the Strategy reports on the Working Group's hazard identification and vulnerability
assessment process, reflecting the information and analyses made available during the past several
months. As updated editions of the Strategy are prepared additional information will become available
and that further analyses will also be completed. The results of continuing analyses are used to
determine the need to propose additional mitigation initiatives, supplement and expand those
incorporated into the Strategy.
To date, primarily because of the availability of information and the magnitude of the risk the Working
Group has focused on natural hazards, and as a result, most of the initiatives incorporated into the initial
edition of the Strategy address these threats. However, the Working Group has also obtained and
utilized information on technological hazards and threats to the economic vitality of the community.
In considering the information given in this section, it is important to emphasize that new hazard
information and methods to utilize it become available on a continuing basis. Therefore, as the LMS
planning process continues, additional or modified information will become available to the Working
Group.
Using Other Vulnerability Assessment Documents
The primary document is a summary of recommended mitigation actions as highlighted by the
experiences of Marion County with the major disasters of the recent past. Interagency Hazard Mitigation
Review Team reports were assessed during the planning effort and recommendations made therein
regarding mitigation actions that are needed were considered by the Working Group in the development
of the Strategy.
VI-1
Overview of the Hazard Identification Process
Marion County is exposed to many different types of natural, atmospheric, technological and societal
hazards that vary significantly in location, scope and seriousness of their effects on the community. The
Hazard Identification/Vulnerability analysis process used by the Working Group began by identifying of
the weather related, natural, technological and societal hazards that could potentially impact the
geographic area under investigation. Table VI-1 indicates those hazards considered common or having
the potential to affect the County:

Aging Population
Depending on the characteristics of the hazard and its impact, substantial components of the general
population, business community, public services, community institutions and utilities are vulnerable to
damage. In considering the vulnerability of Marion County to disasters, it is important to emphasize that
some facilities and the populations they serve are often more sensitive to the impacts of disasters than
others. For the purposes of the Vulnerability Analysis and Risk Assessment requirements of the LMS,
only the weather related and natural hazards were analyzed. Ecological, technological, societal, and
health related hazards remain applicable to Marion County; however, currently there are no set criteria
for evaluating hazards not required by 44 CFR 201. At such time these review criteria are developed,
they will be further analyzed in the LMS.
The vulnerability range of the community to disasters is very wide and depends on many factors. A role
of the Working Group's Risk Assessment Subcommittee was to undertake very specific analyses of the
communities' vulnerabilities to support development of the Marion County LMS. Only by identifying
specific vulnerabilities has the Working Group been able to define, the specific mitigation initiatives for
incorporation into the Strategy.
VI-2
The Steps in the Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment Process
A key element in the planning process adopted by the Working Group is to use a methodical,
comprehensive approach to define specific vulnerabilities of the community to disaster impacts to
support the identification of specific steps to counteract those hazards.
Step 1: Use the hazard identification process to define the hazards that can strike the County and
where they could impact.
Step 2: Use a geographic information system (GIS) database to document the location of the
identified hazards.
Step 3: Use this information to select key facilities, systems and neighborhoods at risk because they
are in or near those locations.
Step 4: Analyze their specific vulnerability of the selected facilities, systems and neighborhoods to
the effects of the disaster events.
Major Disaster Declarations
In 1988, the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act was enacted to support
state and local governments when disasters overwhelm local resources. This law, as amended,
establishes a process for requesting and obtaining a Presidential Disaster Declaration, defines the type
and scope of assistance available from the federal government, and sets the conditions for obtaining that
assistance. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), now part of the Emergency
Preparedness and Response Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security, is tasked with
coordinating the response. Since 1960, Marion County has received numerous presidential disaster
declarations for such hazards as hurricanes, tornados, fires and severe freezes.

Observation
Drought
Severity of the drought
index?
The worst possible drought event Marion County could experience
would be a Category D0 drought, as measured by the Keetch-Byram
Drought Index, resulting in short-term dryness, slowed planting and
growth of crops or pastures. Some lingering water deficits and slow
recovery of pastures or crops while coming out of the drought.
Flooding
How deep would the
flooding be and what is
the potential for property
damage and loss of life?
During the 100 year flood, water can exceed normal levels by 1 to 5
feet. There are 19,049 parcels in Marion County located within the
100 year Flood Plain. The total assessed value of these parcels is
approximately $4,581,189,526. The worst possible single flooding
event could cause $600K of property damage and cause 1 injury.
Riverine
Erosion
What is the potential for
property damage and
loss of life?
Approximately 364 improved parcels are located within 25 feet of
rivers in Marion County. The total assessed value of these parcels is
approximately $88,442,783. In the event of a 500 year flood or
another similarly exceedingly rare hydrological event, riverine erosion
may occur and affect 1-2 meters of riverbank. The majority of impacts
from such an event would primarily occur on the more developed
portions of the Rainbow River. No injuries or loss of life are expected
as a result of river erosion.
Hurricane
and Tropical
Storm
What category on the
Saffir Simpson Scale
could impact the
jurisdictions?
Potential Category Three Hurricane causing some structural damage
to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtain
wall failures. Mobile homes are destroyed.
Tornado
What category on the
Fujita Scale could impact
the jurisdictions?
Potential F-3 Tornado causing intense damage and destruction within
the confined path of the storm.
Sinkholes
What is the maximum
potential depth and
diameter of a sinkhole?
Sinkholes can be as large as 100' in length by 100' in width and
approximately 60' in depth.
Wildfire
What is the potential
property damage and
how many acres could be
expected to burn?
Wildfires can occur as often as 2,218 times each year and can burn
approximately 1,359.7 acres. A single wildfire event could damage up
to $100K of property.
Extreme
Heat
What is the maximum
temperature to expect?
The maximum temperature that can be expected is 109 degrees with
the possible loss of 1 life.
Severe
Winter
Storm
What is the minimum
temperature to expect?
In 2010 temperatures were at 32 degrees for ten days. A period of two
weeks with temperatures lows at 32 degrees can be expected. The
loss of 1 life is expected.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Hurricane and Tropical Storms
A. Description of Hurricanes and Wind Storms
Because of its subtropical location and long coastline, Florida is particularly susceptible to hurricanes.
The greatest threats posed by a hurricane are storm surge, wind damage and inland flooding. With the
exception of a few homes on the western shore of Lake George, Marion County communities need only
be concerned about the latter two.
Wind damage from the storm itself is related to wind speed and the accompanying "pressure" that is
exerted on structures when the wind speed doubles, four times more force is exerted on structures. Wind
damage is also caused by hurricane spawned tornadoes. Tornadoes often form on the leading edge of a
hurricane and can be more destructive than the hurricane itself. Tornadoes may even form in the
relatively weak hurricanes, often causing much or more damage than the parent storm. It is extremely
important for residents in flood prone areas of the County to keep track of a storm as it passes over all
local and regional drainage basins. Rainfall varies with each hurricane, however, on the average, the
normal hurricane has between ten and twelve inches of rain.
Hurricane extent is measured using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. The scale was developed to
make comparisons easier and to make the predicted hazards of approaching hurricanes clearer to
emergency managers, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's hurricane forecasters use a
disaster-potential scale which assigns storms to five categories. This can be used to give an estimate of
the potential property damage and flooding expected along the coast with a hurricane.

Effects
No real damage to building structures. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes,
shrubbery, and trees. Also, some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage
Some roofing material, door, and window damage to buildings. Considerable damage to
vegetation, mobile homes, and piers. Coastal and low-lying escape routes flood 2-4
hours before arrival of center. Small craft in unprotected anchorages break moorings.
Some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of
curtain wall failures. Mobile homes are destroyed. Flooding near the coast destroys
smaller structures with larger structures damaged by floating debris. Terrain continuously
lower than 5 feet ASL may be flooded inland 8 miles or more.
More extensive curtain wall failures with some complete roof structure failure on small
residences. Major erosion of beach. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the
shore. Terrain continuously lower than 10 feet ASL may be flooded requiring massive
evacuation of residential areas inland as far as 6 miles.
Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete
building failures with small utility buildings blown over or away. Major damage to lower
floors of all structures located less than 15 feet ASL and within 500 yards of the
shoreline. Massive evacuation of residential areas on low ground within 5 to 10 miles of
the shoreline may be required.
VI-6
B. Location and Extent
All of Marion County would be vulnerable to hurricane damage from high winds, rain induced flooding
and hurricane spawned tornadoes. The greatest threat from wind and tornadoes will be to those living in
structurally unsound housing and mobile homes. Even though most regulations require that mobile
homes be anchored to withstand high winds, with "over the top" and frame tie downs, their anchoring
systems are usually designed to withstand wind velocities of only 70 to 100 miles per hour. The mobile
homes themselves are usually designed to withstand winds up to only sixty miles per hour, thus, even
with an advanced tie down system; the structure itself could be destroyed. Table VI-7 displays the
projected hurricane wind speeds by Census Tract for Marion County.

Hurricane induced flooding would also present problems for low-lying areas of Marion County filling up
too fast, especially along the Ocklawaha River in east Marion County and the Withlacoochee River in
southwest Marion County. Also, water retention areas overflowing create flooding problems. Many of
the lakes would be impacted as well, although drainage wells or improved drainage systems have
mitigated problems in these areas somewhat. The Marion County Zoning Department and Ocala
Engineering Department maintain federally provided flood maps which show the 100 year flood prone
areas of Marion County. The Marion County area will meet the one hundred-year flood level if 10.0
inches of rainfall occur within a twenty-four hour period.
C. Description of Vulnerabilities
Roads leading into the metropolitan area have been submerged at various points (such as SR 40 and CR
35 in east Marion County and SR 40 in the Ocala National Forest in east Marion County). This hinders
evacuation and/or emergency response capabilities, especially evacuation from Volusia County.
Hurricane force winds could occur throughout the County making mobile homes a general county-wide
vulnerability.
The HAZUS-MH model calculates loss estimates for hurricanes that can be used to demonstrate the cost
effectiveness of mitigation measures. Listed in Table VI-8 below are direct economic loss estimates for
storm events occurring at specific time intervals. The 100 year return period hurricane approximates a
Category 2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. Marion County has not experienced a storm
greater than a Category 2 hurricane since historical storm data collection began in 1900.

E. Probability
Return periods have been calculated using several methodologies which can be used in risk analysis.
However, the overriding assumption for hazard mitigation is that hurricanes do strike Florida each year
VI-9
and will affect Marion County at some point in the future. Return periods are shown below.

F. History
Florida has experienced the greatest number of hurricane landfalls of any state in the nation because of
its geographic location. Florida‟s flat topography also makes it susceptible to the full force of hurricane
winds and powerful storm surge. Between 1900 and 2008, Florida was impacted by 52 hurricanes, 14 of
which were major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher). Generally, the lower intensity hurricanes have
made landfall in the northwest portion of the state.

Shown in Map VI-1 are the tracks of hurricanes in Marion County from 1851 to 2009. This graphic
illustrates that hurricane wind vulnerability is countywide. However, none of these hurricane tracks
showed winds over 100 knots. Therefore, structural damage from hurricanes in Marion County is
expected to be limited to mobile homes and other vulnerable structures.
Marion County Hurricanes and Tropical Storms
VI-10
This countywide history of hurricanes and tropical storms provides information on damages done by
Florida‟s greatest weather threat.
September 9-12, 1964 Hurricane Dora: Hurricane Dora crossed Florida from east to west before turning
to southern Georgia. On September 13-16, Dora produced over 20 inches of rainfall and caused flooding
throughout one-third of the state of Florida, extensively affecting the St. Mary‟s, Santa Fe and
Steinhatchee River basins. An estimated $150 million in losses were reported, affecting residential,
commercial and agricultural operations.
September 10-11, 1990 Hurricane Donna: Hurricane Donna crossed the central Florida Keys before
curving northward along Florida‟s West Coast, passing over Naples and Fort Myers before continuing
across the central peninsula. The storm produced 10 to 12 inches of rain and caused wind and coastal
flooding damages estimated at $150 million.
October 7-8, 1996 Tropical Storm Josephine: Tropical Storm Josephine impacted Florida‟s West Coast
with 70 mph winds before exiting through the northeast portion of the state. Sixteen counties
experienced extensive damage, with losses estimated near $45 million.
August 13, 2004 Hurricane Charley: Hurricane Charley made landfall at Cayo Costa, a barrier island
just west of Cape Coral, as a Category 4 storm at approximately 3:45 PM EDT on Friday, 13 August
2004. Winds were estimated at 145 mph, with a minimum central pressure of 941 millibars. A 7-foot
storm surge was recorded in Fort Myers at 3:45 PM EDT, around the time of landfall. In the Naples
area, the maximum storm tide (the combination of normal tide level plus storm surge) was about 10 to
11 feet above mean sea level. The worst storm tide was north of Naples from Vanderbilt Beach to the
Lee County line. In this area, the maximum storm tide was about 10 to 13 feet above mean sea level.
Charley took approximately nine hours to traverse the Florida peninsula. It was the strongest hurricane
to make landfall in the state since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Just under 36 hours prior to Charley‟s
landfall, Tropical Storm Bonnie struck the Florida Panhandle near Apalachicola. Not since 1906 have
two storms struck the state of Florida so close together.
September 5, 2004 Hurricane Frances: The large eye of Hurricane Frances made landfall near Sewall‟s
Point, Florida (in the vicinity of Stuart, Jensen Beach, and Port Salerno), as a Category 2 storm at
approximately 1 AM EDT on Sunday, 5 September 2004. Winds were estimated at 105 mph, with a
minimum central pressure of 960 millibars.
Frances then emerged into the Gulf of Mexico near Hudson shortly before midnight. Unlike Hurricane
Charley, which will be remembered for wind damage, Frances will be remembered most for flooding,
including freshwater (overland and river) and tidal (storm surge). Initial storm surge values include an
estimate of 6 feet near Cocoa Beach to the north to near 8 feet around Vero Beach to the south.
September 16, 2004 Hurricane Ivan: Ivan moved across the east-central Gulf of Mexico, making landfall
as a major hurricane with sustained winds of near 120 m.p.h. on the 16th just west of Gulf Shores,
Alabama. Ivan weakened as it moved inland, producing over 100 tornadoes and heavy rains across much
of the southeastern United States, before merging with a frontal system over the Delmarva Peninsula on
the 18th. While this would normally be the end of the story, the extratropical remnant low of Ivan split
off from the frontal system and drifted southward in the western Atlantic for several days, crossed
southern Florida, and re-entered the Gulf of Mexico on the 21st. The low re-acquired tropical
VI-11
characteristics, becoming a tropical storm for the second time on the 22nd in the central Gulf. Ivan
weakened before it made its final landfall in southwestern Louisiana as a tropical depression on the 24th.
September 25, 2004 Hurricane Jeanne: The eye of Hurricane Jeanne made landfall near the southern
end of Hutchinson Island, just east of Stuart, Florida, as a Category 3 storm at approximately 11:50 PM
EDT on Saturday, 25 September 2004. Winds were estimated at 120 mph, with a minimum central
pressure of 947 millibars. Many of the intense rain bands and strong winds were felt within the two
hours prior to landfall. Tropical Storm Jeanne slowly progressed across Citrus, Levy, Gilchrist, and
Lafayette Counties on Sunday, hugging the coast of the Florida Big Bend, and positioning itself just east
of the capitol in western Madison County by 5 AM EDT Monday morning.
Radar rainfall estimates from 25 September to 27 September of 5 to 8 inches covered a large swath of
east central Florida. The highest values occurred across southern sections of Brevard and Osceola
Counties, where 11 to 13 inches of rainfall was estimated.
August 24, 2008 Tropical Storm Fay: Fay was a long-lived tropical storm that made eight landfalls –
including a record four landfalls in Florida – and produced torrential rainfall that caused extensive
floods across the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, and Florida. Heavy rainfall was the most notable
hazard caused by Tropical Storm Fay. There were numerous rainfall reports of more than 20 in reported
across east-central Florida and amounts in excess of 10 in were common elsewhere across the central
and northern Florida, southwestern Georgia, and southeastern Alabama.
Floods
A. Description of Hazard
FEMA defines a flood as a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of
normally dry land areas from:
(1)
The overflow of inland or tidal waters;
(2)
The unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source;
(3)
Mudslides (i.e., mudflows) which are proximately caused by flooding and are akin to a
river of liquid and flowing mud on the surfaces of normally dry land areas, as when earth is
carried by a current of water and deposited along the path of the current.
A flood inundates a floodplain. Most floods fall into three major categories: riverine flooding, coastal
flooding, and shallow flooding. Alluvial fan flooding is another type of flooding more common in the
mountainous western states.
Florida historically and annually is affected by a large number of tropical weather systems. While storm
surge has the greatest potential for loss of life, recent research indicates that inland flooding was
responsible for the largest number of fatalities over the last 30 years. Studies show that 59 percent of the
tropical cyclone deaths in the United States resulted from severe inland flooding.
Many parts of Florida are poorly drained and, in fact, drainage improvements are often discouraged
under the current regulatory structures. Florida‟s Water Management Districts have adopted policies to
encourage percolation of rainfall into the ground wherever possible. Placing fill into low lying areas is
VI-12
also discouraged through regulatory means. These policies make flooding conditions and situations
difficult to mitigate through drainage improvements or engineering solutions. Avoidance of low lying
areas is the most effective mitigation against flood damage.
As a weather event, the location and/or extent of cumulative rainfall amounts can occur anywhere within
the Central Florida area. Historical floods from other Florida locations are described below since
Marion County is no less vulnerable than those other areas. Every jurisdiction in Marion County
experiences a comparable amount of rainfall per year. The table below displays data collected from
weather services around the County and includes annual average rainfall for each jurisdiction. Rainfall
amounts that exceed these annual averages in excess of 2-3 inches are associated with higher risk of
flooding especially in vulnerable areas.

Dam failure can also cause flood damage. The only dam with a potential threat to Marion County is the
Moss Bluff Dam on the upper Ocklawaha River. However, failure at the Moss Bluff Dam is not
expected to cause property damage due the large amount of publicly owned preservation land throughout
the large marsh complexes of the upper Ocklawaha River.
For Florida, as a whole, flooding is a continuous problem. While flooding results from either storm surge
associated with hurricanes, riverbank overflow or ponding, it is the latter two that represent a hazard to
Marion County. Any structure type that is located within a floodzone and is not elevated or is not
protected by levees, beams, or floodwalls is vulnerable to flood damage.
Heavy rains and the subsequent inability of a river to accommodate the added runoff almost always
cause flooding resulting from riverbank overflow. There are several areas within Marion County that
would be similarly affected, including the Ocklawaha and Withlacoochee Rivers. This problem is
compounded when heavy rains fell simultaneously in counties surrounding Marion County, thus adding
to the volume of runoff received by local rivers. Ponding occurs in low areas that are either poorly
drained or supersaturated soils (high water table). This type of chronic flooding is prevalent in all areas
of the County where the drainage basins are located.
In 2008, FEMA updated the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) to reflect new data. As a result, there
are additional properties now included in flood zones in the County. There were 22,889 properties
affected by the 1983 FIRM, of which 11,379 were improved. There are 35,944 properties affected by the
VI-13
2008 FIRM, or which 19,446 are improved. Map VI-2 shows the location of the FIRM Flood Zones for
Marion County. Flood prone areas in the County are shown on Map VI-3
VI-14
D. Vulnerable Critical Facilities
Vulnerable Critical Facilities located within the FEMA 100-year floodplain are listed above in the
discussion of hurricane vulnerabilities.
E. Probability
Like other weather events included in this section, the rainfall amounts that cause flood conditions are
considered a part of the Central Florida climate. Often heavy rainfall is isolated in a small area of a few
square miles with severe results that require shelter activation. The probability of severe rainfall events
to be a hazard situation is high, as these conditions are met at least once per year, especially in
vulnerable areas.

Wildfire
A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that spreads through vegetative fuels. Vegetative fuels include those
that are characteristic of wildlands, such as trees, grasses, understory growth, and ground litter; and those
that are purchased at nurseries for home or community landscaping purposes, including trees, mulch,
VI-15
grasses, and ornamental plants. In addition to the presence of fuel, the occurrence and severity of
wildfires are governed by weather, such as high temperatures, low humidity, high winds, and drought
conditions; and topography (for example, canyons and gulches act as chimneys, intensifying fires in
certain areas). Different combinations of these factors contribute to the potential severity of wildfires.
In the wildland/urban interface, buildings and other human development intermingle with vegetative
fuels, exposing the development to potential fire damage when wildfires occur. Other factors that affect
the vulnerability of development to wildfire are location, weather conditions during the wildfire, and the
fire-suppression capabilities of local response agencies.
Wildfires can be a natural or a man-made hazard. Wildfires have burned across the woodlands of Florida
for centuries and are part of the natural management of much of Florida‟s ecosystems. Wildfires caused
by lightning are common in Central Florida, especially in association with weather patterns that create
intense thunderstorms.
Forest fires from lightning only account for a small percentage of Florida‟s wildfires. People are still the
leading cause of wildfires in Florida. Human activities causing wildfires include: controlled burns
escaping containment; campfires getting out of control; land clearing activity; vehicle crashes and
disposing of lit cigarette butts. Potentially, any human activity that employs combustion can start a
wildfire.
Approximately 1/3 of Marion County is U. S. Forest land which is located generally east of the
Ocklawaha River. Additionally, large portions of the County are dedicated to agriculture uses especially
in the northwest portion of the County which is located within a Farmland Preservation Area. These
agricultural areas are intermingled with populated areas as well as high-value property. Reddick,
McIntosh, and Dunnellon, are all located within the rural areas of the County and are therefore at the
highest risk for potential damage due to their proximity to wild lands. Areas with few trees such as urban
areas, which include, the City of Ocala, Belleview and portions of unincorporated County near the urban
core which are densely developed have a low vulnerability to wildfire. The table below is a compilation
of wildfire data from Marion County jurisdictions and the Florida Department of Forestry.

Dry weather and drought conditions are major contributing factors in the size and severity of a wildfire.
Fuel load is a factor in fire intensity and speaks to the need for well managed forest lands. As stated
previously, Marion County has a large rural population. Those people and facilities located in rural,
wooded areas are particularly vulnerable to wildfire. Subdivisions should be designed using Fire Wise
principles and homeowners need to create at least 30 feet of cleared area around the house for defensible
space. This house-by-house mitigation Strategy will be the most effective means to reduce the level of
wildfire vulnerability in Marion County due to the large size of the County and the rural distribution of
the unincorporated population.
While the Ocala National Forest comprises less of the Marion County forest areas it is considered the
area of greatest vulnerability in Marion County. The boundaries of the western edge of the Forest are
not defined by a clear line of ownership but are scattered and „patchy‟ with out-parcels of residential use.
There are several clusters of significant populations located within the Forest boundaries. These
populations and the critical facilities located in or near the Ocala National Forest are vulnerable to
wildfires. Appropriate mitigation can come in the form of enhanced warning systems and the
establishment of defensible spaces around all structures.
E. Probability
Florida‟s typical fire season is from January through May. The potential for wildfires increases
dramatically during relatively dry months. These dry months, combined with low humidity and high
winds, result in the highest number of reported fires. The largest number of lightning-caused fires occurs
in July, coinciding with the peak of the thunderstorm season. Central Florida is known for the greatest
concentration of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in the world.
The wildfire potential map labeled Map VI-4 was created by using the Florida Wildland Fire Risk
Assessment web application. Each of the 90 meter analysis areas was assigned a risk level between 1-9
based on the ability of a fire to start and spread in a given terrain type as well as fire spreading potential
during a dry climatic year.

Sinkholes
Sinkholes are a common feature of Florida's landscape. They are only one of many kinds of karst
landforms, which include caves, disappearing streams, springs, and underground drainage systems, all
of which occur in Florida. Karst is a generic term which refers to the characteristic terrain produced by
erosional processes associated with the chemical weathering and dissolution of limestone or dolomite,
the two most common carbonate rocks in Florida. Limestones in Florida are porous, allowing the acidic
water to percolate through their strata, dissolving some limestone and carrying it away in solution. Over
eons of time, this persistent erosional process has created extensive underground voids and drainage
systems in much of the carbonate rocks throughout the state. Collapse of overlying sediments into the
underground cavities produces sinkholes.
“Catastrophic ground cover collapse” is defined as “geological activity that results in all of the
following: 1). The abrupt collapse of the ground cover; 2). A depression in the ground cover clearly
visible to the naked eye; 3). Structural damage to the building including the foundation; and 4). The
insured structure being condemned and ordered to be vacated by the government agency authorized by
law to issue such an order for that structure.”
Sinkholes are one of Florida‟s the predominant landform features. Development may be sudden and
result in property damage or loss of life. Florida has more sinkholes than any other state in the nation.
However, most sinkholes that are of a size or location to be considered a hazard, progress to their
maximum size over 2 to 3 days giving ample time for evacuation of structures and appropriate levels of
emergency response. Florida‟s average sinkhole size is 3 to 4 feet across, 4 to 5 feet deep.
The eastern half of Marion County is sparsely populated and mainly consists of the Ocala National
Forest. Geologically, the “Hawthorn Layer” which is an impermeable layer of clay over the aquifer
underlies this area and significantly reduces the likelihood of sinkholes. The Hawthorn layer also
reduces the vulnerability of the aquifer as our drinking water supply.
The western half of Marion County is a high recharge area of permeable sands and an “unconfined
aquifer” with an increased vulnerability to HAZMAT spills. The material covering the aquifer is 30 to
200 feet thick, consisting mainly of incohesive and permeable sand. Sinkholes develop gradually and are
small, shallow and few.
VI-18
Sinkhole sizes in Marion County range from over 200‟ to less than 10‟ wide however, the overwhelming
majority of sinkholes fall into the under 10‟ wide range. The majority of sinkholes in the County are
located in the most populous areas increasing the risk from a large sinkhole forming in an urbanized
area.
Marion County sinkhole potential is mainly focused in the urbanized area around Ocala. Areas in the
Ocala National Forest show no vulnerability. Any type of structure is vulnerable to sinkholes.
Vulnerability depends more on location and proximity of the structure to existing sinkhole formations
than to the type of structure or building materials.
Vulnerable critical facilities are critical facilities that are near or adjacent to existing sinkhole activity.
There are no known vulnerable critical facilities at this time.
E. Probability
Marion County averages approximately 12 sinkhole events annually. Probability for sinkhole
formation in Marion County is generally low throughout the County with the exception of a
central area within the City of Ocala boundaries where chances for sinkhole formation are higher
due to a greater concentration of karst geology and more permeable soil conditions than in other
areas.
Shown in Map VI-5 is an analysis of sinkhole vulnerability provided by MEMPHIS (Mapping for
Emergency Management Parallel Hazard Information System)
The methodology for determining risk potential relied mainly on proximity to existing sinkholes and
other geologic features. Map VI-5 highlights the sinkhole potential across the State.

Riverine erosion is damage from water moving at a velocity to cut into the land and transport soil into
the mainstream of the river or collapse the banks.
Riverine erosion requires swift moving water to create damage at a level to be considered a disaster. The
small elevation drop of the Ocklawaha and the Withlacoochee River valleys do not allow for water to
reach a velocity to create severe erosion. Riverine erosion is typically measured by the cubic meters of
sediment erosion per year. Various models exist to predict the extent of riverine erosion including the
factor of safety approach, bank erosion hazard index (BEHI) and near-bank stress (NBS).
Without the velocity to cause damage quickly, the potential erosion damage is by slow erosion over
time. Vulnerable facilities are limited to structures that are in, or close to, the water at normal levels and
flow rates, including bridges, dams, docks, and boat ramps. Certain residential structures that are built
on pilings are also subject to erosion potential. Appropriate mitigation for erosion is periodic inspections
of water related structures.
There are no critical facilities in the County that demonstrate an increased vulnerability to riverine
erosion. Dunnellon City Hall is located on the Withlacoochee River but is well above flood stage.
E. Probability
Marion County has not experienced a riverine erosion event in recorded history. Probability is Low for
erosion incidents on the Ocklawaha, Silver, and Rainbow Rivers in Marion County as they are all slow
moving rivers.
F. History
There is no known history of riverine erosion hazard events in Marion County.
Drought / Extreme Heat
Drought is a protracted period of deficient precipitation resulting in extensive damage to crops, resulting
in loss of yield. Drought risk is based on a combination of the frequency, severity, and spatial extent of
drought (the physical nature of drought) and the degree to which a population or activity is vulnerable to
the effects of drought. The degree of a region‟s vulnerability depends on the environmental and social
characteristics of the region and is measured by their ability to anticipate, cope with, resist, and recover
from drought.
VI-26
Society‟s vulnerability to drought is determined by a wide range of factors, both physical and social,
such as demographic trends and geographic characteristics. People and activities will be affected in
different ways by different hazards. Understanding and reducing these vulnerabilities is essential in
preparing for and dealing with drought.
Extreme Heat
Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits. In extreme heat and high humidity, evaporation
is slowed and the body must work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature. Most heat disorders
occur because the victim has been overexposed to heat or has over-exercised for his or her age and
physical condition. Older adults, young children, and those who are sick or overweight are more likely to
succumb to extreme heat.
Conditions that can induce heat-related illnesses include stagnant atmospheric conditions and poor air
quality. Consequently, people living in urban areas may be at greater risk from the effects of a prolonged
heat wave than those living in rural areas. Also, asphalt and concrete store heat longer and gradually
release heat at night, which can produce higher nighttime temperatures known as the “urban heat island
effect.”
Drought and heat waves are weather events and, like other weather related hazards, are unpredictable.
However, it is expected that droughts and heat waves are a normal part of the long-term weather pattern
that is typical of Central Florida‟s climate. These climatic conditions can be deadly to people and animals
that are unable to escape the heat or hydrate their bodies properly. When temperatures reach 100+
degrees, special needs populations and households without air conditioning are vulnerable.

Short-term drought indicator blends focus on 1-3 month precipitation. Long-term blends focus on 6-60
months. Additional indices used, mainly during the growing season, include the USDA/NASS Topsoil
Moisture, Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI), and NOAA/NESDIS satellite Vegetation Health
Indices. Indices used primarily during the snow season and in the West include snow water content,
river basin precipitation, and the Surface Water Supply Index (SWSI). Other indicators include
groundwater levels, reservoir storage, and pasture/range conditions.
Heat Index/Heat Disorders: Possible Heat Disorders for People in Higher Risk Groups.
VI-28
Heat Index Of 130° OR Higher: heatstroke/sunstroke highly higher likely with continued exposure,
Heat index of 105°- 130°: sunstroke, heat cramps or heat exhaustion likely, and heatstroke possible with
prolonged exposure and/or physical activity.
Heat index of 90°- 105°: sunstroke, heat cramps and heat exhaustion possible with prolonged exposure
and/or physical activity.
Heat index of 80° - 90°: fatigue possible with prolonged exposure and/or physical activity
Based on the latest research findings, the NWS has devised the “Heat Index” (HI), (sometimes referred
to as the “apparent temperature”). The HI, given in degrees F, is an accurate measure of how hot it really
feels when relative humidity (RH) is added to the actual air temperature.
Crop loss is the greatest economic concern especially from those crops that are major exports. The
vulnerability is greater in the various types of crops that are more susceptible to drought than others.
Newly planted crops are extremely vulnerable to drought. Livestock must also be monitored and
managed properly in cases of severe drought. Farmers in general are particularly affected by drought
conditions as the water table falls and deeper wells need to be drilled for irrigation purposes.
Of course, water supply is a great concern during a drought and utility managers must be prepared to
protect it by instituting water restrictions when needed. During extended periods of extreme heat power
supplies also may be depleted due to the widespread use of air conditioning systems. Appropriate
mitigation for the potential loss of power is to maintain backup generators for critical facilities.
E. Probability
Map VI-6 and the above reference table shows the drought potential across the state. According to the
data, Marion County is just outside the D0-D4 drought range indicating that while the County may not be
prone to droughts, there is an increased probability for drought especially in the event of decreased
rainfall.
The probability for extreme heat is low for Marion County. Four fatalities have been attributed to
extreme heat in Florida in the past decade. Despite the probability for a fatal extreme heat event being
relatively low, Marion County does experience 90+ degree temperatures during the summer months
thereby increasing the potential risk of less severe adverse but still serious effects from heat.
F. History
There have been no recorded drought events in Marion County in the past 5 years.
Historical Extreme Heat Events
VI-29
There have been no recorded extreme heat events in Marion County in the past 5 years.
Tornado
A. Description of Tornado Hazards
According to the Glossary of Meteorology (AMS 2000), a tornado is "a violently rotating column of air,
pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud, and often (but not always) visible
as a funnel cloud." A tornado is characterized by the isolated nature of extremely high winds of up to
500 mph. When compared with other states, Florida ranks 4th in the number of tornado events; 19th in
tornado deaths; 11th in tornado injuries; and 18th in damages. These rankings are based upon data
collected for all states and territories for tornado events between 1950-1995 (SPC, 2002). The northern
portion of the state‟s Gulf Coast including Tampa and Tallahassee along with the Panhandle region have
generally experienced more tornadoes than other areas of the state, primarily due to a higher frequency
of thunderstorms making their way northeast through the Gulf of Mexico.
Tornado extent is measured using the Enhanced Fujita Scale developed in 2007 and based on the original
Fujita Scale. The Enhanced F-scale still is a set of wind estimates (not measurements) based on damage.
The scale uses three-second gusts estimated at the point of damage based on a judgment of 8 levels of
damage to the 28 indicators listed below.

Due to the unpredictable pattern of tornadoes, and because the entire state, has a relatively high
reoccurrence frequency, the entire County is vulnerable to tornado- induced damage. The MEMPHIS
(Mapping for Emergency Management Parallel Information System) shows a level of increased tornado
vulnerability for the southeast corner of the County, mostly in the Ocala National Forest.
The damage potential for a tornado increases as a function of population density. As the number of
structures and people increase, the potential damage/injury rate increases. Mobile homes, poorly
constructed or substandard housing apartment complexes are especially susceptible to damage from a
tornado. Mobile homes and substandard housing are exceptionally susceptible because of their lack of
resistance to high winds, and apartment complexes and low rent projects because of their size and
densities. All of the incorporated municipalities, as well as the unincorporated urbanized area of Marion
County is vulnerable.
Specific vulnerable facilities cannot be identified due to the unpredictable nature of tornadoes and also
based on the awesome destructive power. Mobile homes are of the greatest concern but wood frame
structures are also unable to withstand the intense winds of a tornado. Concrete block structures with
wooden roof truss systems are also vulnerable. Appropriate mitigation for tornadoes is to construct a
saferoom specifically engineered for such use.
E. Probability
Marion County has experienced 55 tornadoes between 1959 and the year 2008. Florida has averaged
approximately 75 tornadoes per year since 1950, with an average of 3 deaths and 60 injuries per year.
The MEMPHIS system using the TAOS model calculates the annual probability of tornado activity in
the southeastern portion of Marion County with a medium risk at one chance in 250. The remainder of
the County has a lower vulnerability score of 1 in 500 chances per year. Annualized losses for wind
damages are calculated for all wind events and a specific tornado damage estimate cannot be specified.
VI-31
The annual probability of tornado activity in Marion County is depicted in Map VI-7.
F. History
Many tornadoes in Florida could have killed scores of people and caused millions of dollars in property
damage, but most of these tornadoes did not hit heavily populated areas.

Severe Winter Storms
A winter storm is an event in which the dominant varieties of precipitation are forms that only occur at
cold temperatures, such as snow or sleet, or a rainstorm where ground temperatures are cold enough to
allow ice to form (i.e. freezing rain).A freeze is marked by low temperatures below the freezing point.
Florida‟s agricultural production is seriously affected when temperatures remain below the freezing
point. Marion County is located in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 9 and typically experiences freezing
weather between December 15 and March 15. Other than agricultural losses, hazards include icy roads
and bridges, power outages, structural damage from fallen trees and limbs and exposure of humans and
animals to extreme cold.

As a weather event, the location and/or extent of winter storm conditions could develop anywhere within
Central Florida. Historical events from other Florida locations are included below due to the fact that
Marion County is no less vulnerable than those other areas that were severely affected by freezes or
winter storms. The following table expresses wind chill, the combination of temperature and wind, to
cool an object. The average winter temperature in Marion County in January is 58.6 degrees, however,
the County experiences sub-freezing temperatures on average 3-4 times per year.

Protection of economically important crops and livestock hinges on the availability and accuracy of
weather information. Low-income households are also vulnerable to winter storm conditions if heating
systems don‟t exist or are not operable. Unfortunately, public works departments in Florida don‟t have
the necessary resources to de-ice roads and bridges or remove snow from roadways so even small
amounts of snow and ice become a concern.
Power supply facilities are the most vulnerable critical facilities because winter storms and those with an
extended time frame cause peak use periods to be extended. The result is that power suppliers cannot
meet demand and must generate a pattern of “rolling brown-outs” that create temporary power outages in
a geographic pattern.
E. Probability
A moderate storm may be expected in Florida every one to two years. Severe storms, where the greatest
numbers of winter crops are lost, may be expected on average once every 15 to 20 years. Florida has a
history of winter storms with severe freezes. Since December 1889, there have been at least 20 recorded
severe freezes.
F. History
Each winter, Florida faces the threat of at least a moderate freeze. This presents a problem for Florida as
a whole because of the large amount of agricultural activity conducted throughout the state. For Marion
County this activity is centered on the vegetable and citrus industries. Personal injury or death due to
freezes is not considered a hazard except indirectly through fire caused by incorrect or careless use of
space heaters, etc.
Florida does not have a long history of winter storms, but is quite susceptible to freezes. The most
notable winter storm hit the entire state on March 13, 1993 and has become known as the “Storm of the
Century” or the “No-Name Storm.” The storm came across the Gulf of Mexico as a normal late winter
cold front, but gathered strength just before landfall. Hitting in the early morning hours with gale force
winds, rain, hail, snow, flooding, power outages and widespread freezing conditions, the storm marched
across the state and had strong effects as far south as Cuba. These hazards are dealt with individually
VI-33
each winter, but their combined effects proved too much for recovery resources across the state. Each
individual emergency situation was made worse by the lack of warning from the weather forecasters.
The storm was a fluke and responders were not prepared. The best mitigation for winter storms and
freezing conditions is accurate weather forecasting.
Historical Severe Winter Storms:
December 24-25, 1989: A presidential disaster declaration was issued and crop losses exceeded $18
million. Hardest hit counties were Lake, Alachua, Marion and Polk. The freeze affected over two
million acres of agricultural and citrus crops.
December 30, 2000: Widespread freezing temperatures were observed across most of West central and
Southwest Florida during the late evening of December 30 through the mid-morning hours of December
31, 2000, causing $4.5 million in crop damage. Low temperatures in Marion and Levy Counties dropped
from the upper teens to lower 20s with durations below freezing for up to thirteen hours. In Citrus,
Sumter, Hernando and Pasco counties, low temperatures dropped into the middle 20s and remained
below freezing for nine to twelve hours. In Polk, Hillsborough, Manatee, Sarasota, Hardee, De Soto and
Highlands counties, low temperatures dropped into the middle 20s to upper 20s and remained below
freezing for durations of six to nine hours. In Manatee and Hillsborough counties, freezing temperatures
may have caused an estimated two million dollars worth of damage to the tropical fish industry. In
eastern Charlotte, eastern Lee and extreme northern Pinellas counties, temperatures dropped into the
lower 30s and remained below freezing for periods of two to five hours. The freeze caused an estimated
25 to 50 percent damage to tomato, pepper and squash crops in Lee and Charlotte counties.
Temperatures fell into the mid-20s over Glades, Hendry, eastern Collier, and western portions of Palm
Beach and Broward counties and fell to 32 degrees in the farming areas of south Miami-Dade County.
Approximately 2 million in damage to vegetable crops occurred in Hendry and Glades counties.
January 1, 2001: The second and coldest night of a two-night freeze in south Florida saw minimum air
temperatures ranging from 25 to 30 degrees over interior sections of the peninsula. In the metropolitan
areas of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties temperatures were in the middle 30s over the
western suburbs. An estimated $6 million in crop damage included losses to corn and newly planted
sugar cane in Palm Beach County, and to certain vegetables in Hendry and eastern Collier counties. An
additional $5.1 million in crop damage was caused by widespread freezing temperatures across most of
In West central and Southwest Florida. Low temperatures in Levy County ranged from the low to middle
20s with total durations below freezing for up to thirteen hours. In Citrus, Sumter, Hernando and Pasco
counties, low temperatures ranged from the middle to upper 20s and remained below freezing for
durations of nine to thirteen hours. In Polk, Hillsborough, Highlands, Hardee and De Soto counties, low
temperatures ranged from the middle to upper 20s and remained below freezing for durations of six to
nine hours. Isolated pockets of low temperatures in the upper teens were observed in extreme rural
southern Highlands County. In Hillsborough County, the freeze caused nearly four million dollars in
damage to the tropical fish crop. In Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and Lee counties, low temperatures
dropped into the upper 20s and lower 30s and remained below freezing for durations of five to seven
hours. In Lee County, the freeze caused nearly three million dollars in damage to the squash and
cucumber crop. In Charlotte County, the freeze caused at least 100 thousand dollars damage to the
pepper crop.
Man-Made Disasters
VI-34
Societal and technological disasters originating from human activities include: hazardous materials
incidents, radiological disasters, terrorist acts, civil disturbance, urban fires and explosions and power
failures. These incidents generally increase in probability as the development density increases.
Furthermore, the amount of damage potential also increases in direct proportion to the development
density pattern within the impacted area.
Mitigation against man-made disasters includes an overall hardening of all critical facilities including
security procedures. It is this focus on preparedness that local communities should implement to better
prepare, respond and recover from man-made disasters. The best mitigation efforts are those that will
increase the capacity of responding agencies to perform their roles more rapidly and with better
efficiency. These mitigation efforts include but are not limited to: communications upgrades, computer
upgrades, equipment technology upgrades, training, exercises, intergovernmental/interagency
coordination and other measures to build up the capacity of each local responding agency. It is the
policy of the LMS Working Group to support capacity building efforts based on their overall benefits of
creating a more disaster resistant/resilient community.
Listed below is a general description of man made disasters.
Armed Violence (Acts of Domestic or Foreign Terrorism, Civil Disturbance or Military Conflict)
Although the federal government recognizes that the United States has entered the post Cold War
era, federal planning guidelines on military threats are in transition. For hazard analysis
purposes, it is prudent to scale back on the magnitude of nuclear events for other more likely
scenarios.
For instance, emergency management attention to other threats of armed violence, such as
terrorism, is growing. Terrorism is a serious issue in Florida; the state is particularly vulnerable
due to its proximity to Latin America and Cuba. Although potential targets are unpredictable,
high-density population centers and military installations are the most likely. Terrorism increases
the likelihood of mass casualty and mass evacuation from a target area.
For threats of armed violence, it is very likely that joint jurisdictional management of the
operation will take effect, coordinated at the county level between the Sheriff and FDLE. For any
of these scenarios, some degree of state and federal involvement may occur. The lead federal
agency may be FEMA or the Department of Justice.
Hazardous Materials (non-radioactive)
Hazardous sites can include, but are not limited to, propane storage facilities, natural gas pipeline
terminals, fuel storage facilities and tank farms. All of these items can become extremely
dangerous in a hurricane. Often propane tanks or fuel oil tanks are not secured in a hurricane
proof fashion because they are not permanent structures. In the case that the structure is a facility
versus a tank there is a higher level of risk as well as protection. Identifying the location of these
sites will assist the safe reentry into the area after a storm has passed. In addition it can help
before a storm by indicating where a mitigation strategy should be implemented.
A hazardous material is any substance that, if released into the environment, would have a
VI-35
harmful and sometimes fatal effect on persons and animals coming into contact with it.
Hazardous materials include highly flammable fuels, herbicides and pesticides, petroleum and
related products, natural gas and chemicals. Radioactive substances, although they are frequently
included within the category of hazardous materials, were not considered a hazard within this
analysis, although there are relatively large numbers of facilities within Marion County, which
use small amounts of these substances. In any case, there are over 3,000 hazardous chemicals
licensed for transport by the US Department of Transportation, many of which would have a
disastrous effect if released in an accident.
Marion County and its communities are vulnerable to the effects of hazardous materials accidents
resulting from both transportation and industry. Light industry present in Ocala/Marion County,
store and utilize materials such as natural gas, anhydrous ammonia, petroleum distillates,
chlorine and pesticides on a daily basis and hazardous materials are transported to and through
the County by rail, highway and air.
Storage Tanks - Information on the location of the facilities that have storage tanks either above
ground or below is required by several government agencies. From this standpoint, finding the
most up to date and accurate source of this data is important. These storage tanks are important
to emergency management in regards to the substances contained. If any of these tanks with
hazardous wastes are damaged in a hurricane, the effects to the population can last longer than
general cleanup of debris. These contaminants must be contained as soon as possible for
emergency managers to re-enter an area. If the contaminants are allowed to leak for long periods
of time the groundwater can be affected which can further damage the water supply, environment
and wildlife.
Hazardous Waste Generating Facilities- Each county completes the Hazards Analysis program,
consistent with federal laws including the Community-Right-to-Know Act. This analysis creates
a database of facilities that are responsible for hazardous materials. These facilities are classified
as small quantity and large quantity generators. The number of generating facilities varies from
county to county based on the land uses allowed by the counties. Counties with higher levels of
industrial, agricultural and commercial land uses will normally have a greater number of
hazardous generating facilities.
As stated previously, the best mitigation for man-made disasters is preparation and an overall
expansion of the capacity of all responding agencies to deal appropriately with the unlimited
variety of emergency situations.

Population
Depending on the characteristics of the hazard and its impact, substantial components of the
general population, business community, public services, community institutions and utilities are
vulnerable to damage. In considering the vulnerability of Marion County to disasters, it is
important to emphasize that some facilities and the populations they serve are often more
sensitive to the impacts of disasters than others. For the purposes of the Vulnerability Analysis
and Risk Assessment requirements of the LMS, only the weather related and natural hazards
were analyzed. Ecological, technological, societal, and health related hazards remain applicable
to Marion County; however, currently there are no set criteria for evaluating hazards not required
by 44 CFR 201. At such time these review criteria are developed, they will be further analyzed in
the LMS.

Critical and Sensitive Facilities
Critical facilities are important for both evacuation and sheltering. The County’s Critical
Facilities Inventory is maintained by emergency management staff and updated annually to
insure that preparedness and response actions can provide efficient evacuation, sheltering and
recovery. The facilities that are important in the event of a hazard evacuation will vary based on
the situation but typically include transportation facilities, medical facilities, communications
facilities, potable water facilities, wastewater treatment plants, hospitals and schools. Additional
facilities identified in the LMS include, emergency operations centers, mobile home parks,
childcare centers, and hazardous waste generators.
Sensitive facilities can be critical from the evacuation standpoint because residents of prisons,
nursing homes and hospitals will need extra evacuation support. Emergency managers have
established agreements and procedures to address these issues. In Marion County, there are no
critical facilities that demonstrate an overwhelming structural vulnerability to any particular
hazard.
These infrastructure facilities are critical in a timely evacuation and need to be functioning at a
level of service that supports evacuation and sheltering efforts. The 2009 Critical Facilities list
was developed by the Marion County Planning Division and includes facilities identified in
Table VII-3 thru Table VII-21 and shown on Map VII-2 thru Map VII-11.
Municipal and public buildings located in high risk areas are also an important consideration.
Municipal buildings include police and fire stations that are critical during times of emergency.
A listing of fire stations and sheriff stations are included in Table VII-14 and Table VII-15,
respectively and shown in Map VII-12 and Map VII-13. Location information was obtained from
the Marion County Fire Department and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, respectively. Other
municipal buildings that maintain County and City records would be best located outside of the
vulnerability zones. In cases where municipal buildings exist in vulnerable locations, retrofitting
the buildings to increase protection is a needed precaution.

Water/Wastewater Treatment Plants
Water and wastewater treatment plants are important due to the nature of their role in providing
critical infrastructure for sheltering and recovery. If these facilities are damaged, extra warnings
and precautions need to be provided to the population serviced by the damaged plant.
Contamination of the water supply can come from one unplanned release of waste product due to
storm damage. Cleanup of a water supply can take a significant amount of time during which all
water would need to be sterilized before use. Providing information to the public is an important
protocol in case of contamination. If wastewater facilities do not have access to the public
through television or radio, there must be coordination between the EOC and the wastewater
facilities to provide initial reports and updates. Marion County does not include these facilities as
part of their critical facilities inventory.
Reviewing the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan provides a listing of protocols that
will provide the appropriate level of preparedness for critical facilities. Each water/wastewater
facility should have a list of protocols in case of an emergency including but not limited to:
Adequate potable water
Restoration of water supply
Provision of water for firefighting
Demolition or stabilization of damaged structure

Medical
Medical facilities will be one of the most problematic of all the facilities to evacuate.
Presumably persons who are residing in the hospital are not capable of evacuating without
assistance. The assistance needed may range from wheelchairs to oxygen and IVs. Therefore,
any medical facility needs to have its own protocols in the event it is called upon to evacuate.
There are three medical facilities in Marion County: Munroe Regional Medical Center, Ocala
Regional Medical Center, and West Marion Community Hospital. Because they are inland, they
would experience a different type of situation than coastal counties. Inland facilities would be
under duress from the overload of patients arriving from the facilities closer to the coast. Any of
the medical facilities in the County may be called upon in a host capacity if a hurricane threatens
another region, so having a plan is imperative. The medical facilities in Marion County are
shown on Map VII-14 and listed in Table VII-16.
Reviewing the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan provides a list of protocols that
will provide the appropriate level of preparedness for critical facilities. Each medical facility
should have a list of protocols in case of an emergency including but not limited to:
Preventing communicable diseases
Procedures available beyond
standard first aid
Maximize staff in a 24-hour capacity
VII-50
Victim identification
Obtaining medical equipment not
currently at the facility
Collection and destruction of
contaminated food
Ensure the safety of the emergency
responders
Control of insects, rodents and other
pests
Provide health information to the
public
Ensure potable water and wastewater
treatment
VII-51
Nursing Homes
One special area of concern is nursing homes. Some nursing homes may be able to double as
medical facilities during a storm, but the quantity of equipment in a nursing home will be much
lower than in a hospital. Many of the same protocols as the above medical facilities should be
included in a nursing home plan. The major difference is the lack of responsibility to the general
public. The nursing homes will be most concerned with their current residents and any
additional medical supplies they can provide to the hospitals.

Child Care Facilities
Evacuation of child care facilities also represents a significant challenge in the event of a major
disaster. Identifying the location of each provider and the number of children each facility
accommodates provides emergency managers with a means to assess the potential risk posed to
facilities impacted by a major event. The locations of child care providers in Marion County are
depicted on Map VII-15.

Schools
Most of the time there will be sufficient notice of an oncoming storm, and schools will be closed.
Therefore, the location of the schools becomes important primarily for sheltering persons who choose
to not go to hotels or to the homes of family and friends. Schools are used because of their size and
functions, including kitchens. The schools that are set up as shelters will have sufficient supplies for a
person or persons to endure a short stay. Those schools that are not opened as shelters may be required
to open if the storm or number of individuals seeking shelter is greater than first expected. In such
situations they are strictly emergency shelters. Due to the strength and timing of the storm there may
not be enough time to supply these additional schools with more than basic necessities. These
additional shelters can include private schools and church schools. Map VII-16 and Table VII-18 give
VII-63
a listing of schools including their specific location. This information was obtained from the Marion
County School Board.

Sensitive Facilities for Emergency Management Mitigation Potential Projects
Items of the biggest concern in Marion County range from the evacuation of schools and day care
centers to the limitations of allowing re-entry of persons into neighborhoods with unknown
contaminants. With this in mind the descriptions, tables and maps below are provided to allow
emergency management a clear picture of the locations of facilities and dangers.
Hazardous Sites
Hazardous sites include, but are not limited to, propane storage facilities, natural gas pipeline terminals,
fuel storage facilities and tank farms. Each of these items can become extremely dangerous in a
hurricane. Often propane tanks or fuel oil tanks are not secured in a hurricane proof fashion because
they are not permanent structures. In the case that the structure is a facility versus a tank there is a
higher level of risk as well as protection. Identifying locations of these sites will assist the safe re-entry
VII-65
into the area after a storm has passed. Additionally, it can help before a storm by indicating where a
mitigation Strategy should be implemented.
Storage Tanks
Information on locations of facilities that have storage tanks either above ground or below ground is
required by several government agencies. From this standpoint, finding the most up-to-date and
accurate source of this data is important. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection
maintains a database that allows the user to download spreadsheets listing the storage tanks by county.
These storage tanks are important to emergency management in regards to the substances contained. If
any of these tanks with hazardous wastes are damaged in a hurricane, the effects to the population can
last longer than general cleanup of debris. These contaminants must be contained as soon as possible
for emergency managers to re-enter an area. If the contaminants are allowed to leak for long periods of
time the groundwater can be affected which can further damage the water supply, environment and
wildlife.
Hazardous Waste Generating Facilities
Each county has a Hazards Analysis program, consistent with federal laws including the Community
Right to Know Act. This analysis creates a database of facilities that are responsible for hazardous
materials. These facilities are classified as small quantity and large quantity generators. The number of
generating facilities varies from county to county based on the land uses allowed by the counties.
Counties with higher levels of industrial, agricultural and commercial land uses will normally have a
greater number of hazardous generating facilities. The Marion County Hazardous Materials Facilities
are shown on Map VII-1 and listed in Table VII-19.

Other Institutions with Populations Requiring Special Care
The other institutions that require special care may include prisons or detention centers. Marion County
VII-75
has three sensitive institutions that have restrictions to the residents on entering and leaving the facility.
These include the Lowell Women’s Prison and Marion Correctional Institution as well as the Marion
County Jail.
Electrical Generating Facilities
Electrical generating facilities are critical due to the many functions that rely on an electrical power
supply and the widespread use of electrical appliances by the populous. These facilities, if damaged,
can cause power outages. Loss of power to a public service is more detrimental than a simple lack of
electricity to a home. If a hospital, police, emergency management or any other public service loses
electricity the ability to provide emergency services is extremely limited. Any medical or emergency
service should have a listing of backup sources of power.
The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan provides a listing of protocols that will provide
the appropriate level of preparedness for critical facilities. Each energy facility should have a list of
protocols in case of an emergency including but not limited to:
Support agencies providing information, equipment, labor, fuel and repair
Transportation of fuel or other emergency supplies
Assess energy supply and demands in restoring systems – on a prioritized allocation
method
Setting up a system to process requests for fuel or power assistance
Mobile Home Parks
Another vulnerable population at any category of storm are residents of mobile home parks. Mobile
home structures have a high risk for destruction in a hurricane if erected in wind or flood vulnerability
areas. Mobile home residents, due to a lack of structural support, are usually encouraged to evacuate
before residents of site-built homes and businesses. Because of their early evacuation, the transportation
analysis will take into account the effect these residents have on the general process. The mobile home
parks definition used for this document is the areas that have permanent residents, not including RV
seasonal residents. The assumption is made that those residents who are mobile will, in fact, leave the
area before the storm approaches. Map VII-17 and Table VII-20 provide a listing of the mobile home
parks in Marion County, obtained from the Marion County Environmental Health Department.

Vulnerability by Jurisdiction
Due to the unpredictable nature of natural disasters, several areas in the County may experience
impacts from a hazard event while other areas may experience minimal or no impacts. Therefore,
understanding the vulnerability of any location in Marion County is extremely important.
Vulnerability was assessed for each hazard and jurisdicition.
Assessment Methodology
The vulnerability assessment was conducted utilizing a Geographic Information System (GIS)based analysis methodology. The results of the vulnerability assessment are provided for each
hazard listed below.
A GIS-based analysis was conducted for nine hazards:
Hurricane And Tropical Storm;
Drought;
Extreme Heat;
Flood
Tornado;
Severe Winter Storm;
Riverine Erosion;
Sinkhole; And
Wildfire.
GIS-Based Analysis
For the GIS-based assessment, digital data was collected from local, state and national sources.
ESRI® ArcGIS™ 9.3.1 was used to assess risk utilizing digital data including local tax records
for individual parcels and georeferenced point locations for hazard events. Using these data
layers, risk was assessed by estimating the assessed building value associated with parcels
determined to be located in identified hazard areas. HAZUS-MH was also used to model
hurricane force winds and estimate potential losses.
The objective of the GIS-based analysis was to determine the estimated vulnerability of people
and buildings to the identified hazards for Marion County using best available geospatial data. In
so doing, local databases made available through Marion County such as local tax assessor
records and parcel boundaries, were used in combination with digital hazard data. The results of
the analysis provided an estimated number of people, as well as the numbers and values of
buildings determined to be potentially at risk to those hazards with delineable geographic hazard
boundaries. A brief description of the GIS-based analysis for each particular hazard is provided
under the vulnerability assessment section of each respective hazard.

Riverine erosion –The majority of riverine erosion is directly linked to hurricanes and other
severe coastal storms. No communities lie on the banks of the Ocklawaha River. There is always
the potential for the river to become inundated with water causing flooding and would affect
only small communities not related to the denser populations of the municipalities. Properties
within 25’ of the river bank were included in the assessment.

Sinkholes - Marion County has a variety of geologic rock and sediment types located within 10
feet of the land surface, limestone, clayey sand, sand and peat. Since proximity to existing
sinkholes is the best predictor of future sinkhole activity, properties within 200’ of an existing
sinkhole were selected for inclusion in the vulnerability assessment.

The most potentially dangerous geologic formation for the creation of sinkholes is the location of
limestone near the surface. Every type of structure is vulnerable to sinkhole formation in the
County. Structures located in the Area III portion of Map VII-18 and structures located
approximate to an existing sinkhole are at greater risk regardless of the type of structure. In Map
VII-18 and Map VII-19 a visual reference can be seen of both the geologic formation and the
existing known sinkholes, respectively. The sinkholes that are known are mainly discovered and
recorded by visual references. Listed below are the known sinkholes for Marion County,
VII-84
obtained from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
Hurricanes and Tropical Storms - Between 1851 and 2003 approximately 90 hurricanes of
Category 1 to 5 have passed within 100 miles of the Withlacoochee Region. With a minimal
history of storms directly hitting the area and a coastline with a small population, the
mathematical probabilities of hurricane damage and evacuation are limited. The Withlacoochee
Region has been relatively safe from direct hits but storms hitting close to the region are similar
to direct hits with regards to shelter strategies and other infrastructure related responsibilities.
Map VII-20 depicts the frequency of hurricane events by County across the State.

Map VI-1 shows the hurricane tracks from the hurricanes that have directly affected Marion
County in the past 150 years. Being prepared is always important regardless of the lack of recent
hurricane history because of the vulnerable characteristics of the County.
Tornadoes- From NOAA’s storm prediction center http://www.spc.noaa.gov/wcm/#data ,
historical tornado path data was collected. Tornado path width can vary dramatically making it
difficult to precisely identify areas at risk for tornado damange. The average width of tornado
path’s in the Florida is approximately 58’. For the purposes of the vulnerability assessment,
improved parcels within 1,000’ of a historical path were included in the analysis.

Floods – Minor flooding occurs every year in Marion County. As seen in the updated FIRM
FEMA Flood Maps and Repetitive Loss List data some areas of the County are more susceptible
to future flooding. Any structure type that is located within a floodzone and is not elevated or is
not protected by levees, beams, or floodwalls is vulnerable to flood damage.

Flooding can produce widespread impacts in both rural and urban areas. Any type of agricultural,
commercial, or residential development located in a floodplain is vulnerable to flooding.
Increasing urbanization in some areas enhances the threat of flooding where drainage systems
cannot cope with the increased input of stormwater runoff. In rural areas, property damage
caused by flooding can be devastating to farmers. When flooding occurs during the growing
season, farmers can suffer widespread crop loss. In some cases, there may be an opportunity for
VII-86
a second planting of a less profitable crop. Livestock farmers may lose livestock if they are
unable to find safety from rising floodwaters. This threat is primarily associated with flash
flooding.
Wildfires – The entire county is at risk for wildfire. With Reddick, McIntosh, and Dunnellon at
the highest risk for potentially damaged jurisdictions.

Drought - The primary agriculture product is crops and livestock, which is somewhat more
resistant to drought then a vegetable crop. Any drought or heat wave will have a detrimental
effect on the County. There are no recorded extended droughts, though there have been many
seasonal droughts. Drought primarily affects farming and agricultural production. For purposes
of the drought vulnerability assessment, parcels with bona fide farming operations were included
in the analysis.
Table VII-28 Vulnerability Assessment: Drought
Total Estimated Number
Farms
Of Parcels
3,496
725,733
Extreme Heat - Extreme heat can have a number of deleterious effects on the human body.
These include in order of increasing severity, sunburn, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat
stroke. In addition to the effects on indiduals, various sectors of the agriculture community are
affected by extreme heat. Livestock, such as rabbits and poultry, are severely impacted by heat
waves. Millions of birds have been lost during heat waves. Milk production and cattle
reproduction also decreases during heat waves. Also, the electric transmission system is
impacted when power lines sag in high temperatures. The combination of extreme heat and the
added demand for electricity to run air conditioning causes transmission line temperatures to rise.

Severe Winter Storms – Freezes are the relatively the same as drought/heat wave in the affect
they could have on seasonal vegetable crops but not on the more resistant timber crops or
livestock. There have been seasonal hard freezes that have dipped well below the freezing point,
but the majority of the freezing weather hovers around 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The entire County
is vulnerable to severe winter storms.

VII-87
Man Made Hazards - Hazardous sites can include, but are not limited to, propane storage
facilities, natural gas pipeline terminals, fuel storage facilities and tank farms. All of these items
can become extremely dangerous in a hurricane. Often propane tanks or fuel oil tanks are not
secured in a hurricane proof fashion because they are not permanent structures. In the case that
the structure is a facility versus a tank there is a higher level of risk as well as protection.
Identifying the location of these sites will assist the safe reentry into the area after a storm has
passed. In addition it can help before a storm by indicating where a mitigation strategy should be
implemented.
Repetitive Loss Properties
Flood losses for Marion County are shown in Table VII-31. Additionally, Table VII-32 includes
properties that have experienced repetitive losses due to flooding. Marion County has
experienced relatively few flooding events and as Table VII-32 indicates, there are few
properties at risk of ongoing flood damage. However, the history of various flooding events in
the state shows a much greater potential for losses. Dense populations of Marion County are not
particularly vulnerable to flooding therefore flood damage costs are expected to be significantly
lower than a statewide average would assume.

Future Development
The vulnerability of future development is hard to determine. Marion County has maintained its
agriculture nature for some time. With the onset of development in the counties south of Marion
there will be plenty of growth occurring in the coming years. Looking at the population
projections below the explosion of the population is very evident. If the numbers remain accurate
there will be an ever increase need for mitigation of potential hazards.

Looking at the trends in population growth determination of the effect these growth trends and
population expansions are creating needs to be quantified. Below is a table showing the
municipalities and the unincorporated area of the county’s growth and its effect on disasters.
The information is directly linked to growth. The parts of the community that are experiencing
very little growth do not have the same concerns over “future development”.
VII-89
The rating is High (H), Medium (M) and Low (L). The value of H indicates a disaster requiring
an extensive amount of mitigation. The value of M indicates where there may be some extra
incidents due to the growth trend, but not an excessive need for mitigation. Finally, L means that
an increase in population and development trends will have little to no effect on the detrimental
aspects of that hazard. The predictions imply that there will be growth primarily in Ocala and the
unincorporated areas of the County. It is difficult to measure precisely where people will be
living in the unincorporated areas. With that in mind the information is primarily limited to the
jurisdictions.

Looking now at what already exists in the County, a clearer picture of the potential damage to
buildings, human populations and the areas most in need of mitigation projects becomes
apparent.
The 2009 Future Land Use Map for the County is displayed in Map VII-21. This map is the
most up to date data for 2009 and includes land use information for Marion County and the
incorporated jurisdictions. It is clear from this map that the majority of the land remains in
rural, agriculture and conservation land uses. The populations are relatively compact in regards
to land use ratios. As discussed in a previous question, a chart was developed to indicate which
jurisdiction has the highest potential for damage from any one hazard. Therefore if future
development is to occur in or near the existing jurisdiction an effort to address the specific
hazard needs to be made.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
Introduction and Purpose
The 1999 document presents a blueprint of how the LMS document, Steering Committee and
Working Group is utilized to reduce potential losses to the County as a multi-jurisdictional area.
The blueprint describes the importance the County places on updating the LMS document. It
outlines the organizational Strategy as well as the meeting and plan development Strategy. The
2004 update clarified which of the existing documents and plans are to be used in conjunction
with the LMS document. This information was included to set guidelines for cooperation. The
2009 update refined the data and analysis gathered in the two previous iterations of the LMS by
utilizing the HAZUS-MH loss estimation model and updating 100-year floodplain maps in
accordance with FEMA‟s floodplain modernization program implemented through State water
management districts. The repetitive structure loss program is also clearly addressed in this
plan.
The Working Group intends that this program for mitigation planning and implementation of
identified initiatives be continued into the future. In this manner, the Working Group ensures the
Strategy continues to address the human and economic vulnerabilities of Marion County
communities to future disasters.
Therefore, this section of the 2009 LMS describes the recommended plan adopted by the
Steering Committee for the ensuing period of maintenance and implementation of the Strategy.
These Strategy items cover two major categories:
1. An administrative plan and an organizational structure through which the bylaws and
operational procedures of the Working Group are prioritized, and
2. An adopted set of program goals and priorities for guiding efforts of the Working Group
for the ensuing planning cycle within which additional mitigation initiatives can be
proposed, characterized and prioritized.
The Working Group intends this section be updated at the conclusion of each planning cycle to
guide the continuing efforts of the Working Group.
Administration and Logistics
This portion describes the program for administering the current edition of the Marion County
LMS.
Adoption of the Strategy
The contractually designated LMS representative from each municipality is responsible for
ensuring their portion of the Strategy remains updated and is presented to their respective
local governing bodies for re-adoption, re-endorsement, or other appropriate action. This has
VIII-1
been reiterated on numerous occasions, as documented in the Meeting Summaries.
Maintenance of the Strategy
This section describes the plan of Marion Working Group for the continuance of updating,
maintenance and implementation of the Strategy.
Coordination of Strategy Implementation and Maintenance
The Working Group focused on what agency should maintain overall responsibility for the LMS.
It was noted that the custodian would be responsible for scheduling meetings of the Steering
Committee and Subcommittees, recording the proceedings of the meetings, distributing the
meeting minutes, coordinating the update of the GIS database, collecting proposed mitigation
initiatives, and any other administrative matters that may arise in the maintenance of the
Strategy. For the foreseeable future, Marion County Planning Division will maintain
responsibility for the following duties:
Coordination of meetings
Maintenance of mailing lists
Maintenance of the bylaws and procedures
Maintenance and updating of data
Receipt of notification of financial opportunities
Use of the procedure and database to assist in the selection of prioritized
initiatives for funding
Support to processing of initiatives
Implementation, as appropriate, of this section of the Strategy
Publication of updated Strategy documents
Organizational Structure
After review by the Steering Committee, it was decided to maintain the current organization
structure and meeting schedules: the Subcommittees will meet as needed; and, the Steering
Committee and Working Group will meet at least quarterly. The Working Group will continue
to report to the Steering Committee and will also include the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Risk Assessment Subcommittee
Mitigation Planning Subcommittee
Public Affairs Subcommittee
Financial Issues Subcommittee
The Steering Committee Chair may reactivate the above subcommittees upon need of the
Working Committee.
Continuing items for Working Group determinations include:
1. Assignment of a Subcommittee member to be responsible for review and update of
VIII-2
Guiding Principles database.
2. Assignment of an individual or organization responsible for update and maintenance of
GIS database.
3. Increase LMS participation from the public and private sectors.
4. Where appropriate, involve Financial Issues Subcommittee in securing mitigation
initiative funding.
And other items as may be requested.
Schedule for Strategy monitoring, evaluating, and updating
The Marion County Planning Division shall be responsible for monitoring of the Strategy.
Monitoring activities include coordinating annual updates by agencies and jurisdictions
responsible for individual mitigation actions located on the project list. Coordination may
include site visits and meetings with staff and/or the Steering Committee as needed. Monitoring
shall occur throughout the year on an as needed basis.
The following are tasks and monitoring activities that should be accomplished prior to or in the
early part of the LMS update and revision process. These tasks represent examples of
recommended actions and should be reviewed for their applicability by the Emergency
Management Director (prior to the update process) or the Working Group (as a part of the update
process.)
On-going information systems – HAZUS-MH GIS databases that have been created for the
LMS should be reviewed and updated with each formal revision of the Strategy.
Monitoring implementation process - Projects that have been implemented need to be taken off
the List of Mitigation Initiatives. Members of the Working Group should also attend
workshops and stay abreast of current grant funding opportunities.
Obstacles/problems in implementation - Some listed projects may be considered as poor
candidates for grant funding and may need to be revised to be fundable. Criteria has been
developed to achieve regular maintenance of the mitigation action list. Projects older than
5 years will be removed from the list unless a new application is submitted.
Ability to update baseline data - The HAZUS-MH GIS update to the LMS could be made the
responsibility of one or several County Departments with GIS capability.
Monitoring of hazards - The development of local information regarding the effects of
hazards (such as the flooded roads database) should be an ongoing process. The Emergency
Management Department should monitor the effects of hazards and actions taken and keep a
record of such. This information should be added to the next update of the LMS.
Updatable, objective achievement measures – Various indicators for the evaluation of the
performance of the LMS have been related to individual hazard types have been developed
however, indicators for several hazards could benefit from more standardized evaluation
VIII-3
criteria.
Citizen participation in the LMS process - It is recommended that future updates of the
LMS receive media exposure through press releases to encourage public participation.
Updating and Revising the LMS
The LMS will be reviewed annually, or as circumstances dictate, by the LMS Working Group.
The appropriate membership of the committee to include County, agency, municipal and private
business representatives will review the Strategy; amending their responsibilities under the
Strategy; updating the Hazard Identification / Vulnerability Assessment and Mitigation
Initiatives by modifying procedures, maintaining current data and/or adding new projects and
deleting completed projects.
Proposed amendments to the LMS that are approved by the Working Group shall be submitted to
the Marion County Emergency Management Director for presentation to the Marion County
Board of County Commissioners for public comment and final adoption.
The Marion County Planning Division and the Steering Committee members shall be responsible
for evaluating the Strategy. Evaluation of the Strategy will occur on an annual basis or after a
hazard occurrence. Updates necessary for the Strategy‟s maintenance shall also occur on an
annual basis in conjunction with the evaluation process described above. Planning Staff shall
also monitor and update the Strategy related to changes in State and Federal hazard mitigation
requirements on an annual basis.
Additionally, during the ensuing 5 year planning cycle, the Working Group will continue to
develop initiatives for characterization, prioritization and implementation. This includes
consideration of:
Private Sector Participation
By increasing business and industry involvement in mitigation planning and programming, the
economic and social well being of the community becomes stronger and more lasting.
Actions to increase involvement of the private sector include:
Enhancing existing partnerships with chambers of commerce, economic development
commissions, and builders‟ associations.
Inviting major employers and industries to attend Working Group meetings.
Inviting local businesses and business leaders to attend Public Forums and other activities
scheduled by the Public Affairs Subcommittee.
Vulnerable Neighborhood Needs
Many initiatives proposed for the initial edition of the Strategy focused on reducing
the vulnerabilities of local government facilities and systems. This is acknowledges
VIII-4
the urgency to make existing government infrastructures more resistant to the
structural and/or operational impacts of future disasters.
The LMS continues to be expanded and enhanced to address the vulnerability of
neighborhoods and population sectors that are at heightened risk from human or
economic impacts of disasters. Following are highlights of anticipated actions to be
taken during continuing planning cycles:
1. Focus on neighborhoods at risk to these hazards:
Flood
Wildfire
Hazardous Materials
High Winds
Mobile/Manufactured Homes
Older Non-Compliant Buildings
2. Review the various Guiding Principles documents for inconsistencies and
discrepancies in interest areas noted above.
The Risk Assessment Subcommittee will utilize the GIS database provided by project staff, as
well as local experience in the area to identify potential all-hazard risks to neighborhoods.
This Subcommittee will report to the Working Group at each meeting, or as events require.
Mitigating Flood Losses
The Working Group intends this edition of the Strategy also constitute an update to the Marion
County‟s Flood Mitigation Assistance Plan, in accord with FEMA requirements. This specific
Plan is consistent with the overall objectives and concepts used in the Working Group‟s planning
and programming for mitigating vulnerability to all types of hazards as expressed in this
Strategy. Additionally, the County and its jurisdictions adopted the 2008 FEMA FIRM maps in
August 2008 along with a new Flood Plain Ordinance. The County has participated in the NFIP
Community Rating System since 1993 and this year improved their class rating from 9 to 7.
Additionally, the County and the City of Ocala participate in the CRS program. The remaining
jurisdictions‟ participation is listed below.

The City of Ocala adopted by reference the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and
the standards set forth in Section 60.3(c) of the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) regulations (44 CFR 59, etc.) in support of Map 3: FEMA
Designated Floodprone Areas (effective date August 28, 2008)
The Marion County Office of Emergency Management has identified over thirty flood-prone
areas throughout the County. The Risk Assessment Subcommittee, as part of the “area wide”
risk assessment process, will continue to evaluate these areas. In various sections of the
Strategy, as well as in the paragraphs below, the human and economic vulnerability to floods
includes repetitive flood loss properties.
VIII-6
Mitigating Repetitive Flood Loss
FEMA has identified five repetitive loss structures in the County. The Risk
Assessment Subcommittee will assist in identifying mitigation initiatives to relieve
these situations.
Mitigating Future Flood Losses
Besides the five identified repetitive flood loss properties, there are a significant number of
properties within recognized floodplains or flood-prone areas. The Working Group is very
interested in reducing flood losses to these areas so they do not remain subject to repetitive
flood loss.
Studying Flood-prone Areas
Marion County Public Works has identified over ninety flood-prone areas, with most areas
flooding during heavy rains. The Risk Assessment Subcommittee plans to prioritize those
areas that endanger the greatest number of properties, disrupt vital community services, or
threaten concentrations of businesses and industries. The Subcommittee will then determine if
proposed mitigation initiatives would help these properties, and, if not, to propose new
mitigation initiatives to solve the repetitive flooding. The Working Group will review the
findings of the Subcommittee and take action as appropriate.
Continuing Review of Guiding Principles Documents
The mitigation Planning Subcommittee, in conjunction with the Risk Assessment Subcommittee,
will continue to evaluate flood-prone areas and their relationship to special flood hazard areas
(SFHA), particularly as they pertain to current zoning and future land use. Project staff has
provided the Subcommittees GIS maps that depict future land use parcels that are currently
zoned for development and are located within SFHA. The Mitigation Planning Subcommittee
will coordinate with various municipality planning departments to determine what, if any, action
needs to be taken in terms of reviewing current and future land use planning.
Coordination with Local Mitigation Strategy
The Working Group plans to mitigate future flood losses through close integration with plans,
programs and initiatives for all natural, technological and societal hazards confronting Marion
County communities. The Working Group will, in taking the actions described above, attempt to
utilize opportunities to reduce future flood losses and to reduce vulnerabilities to other hazards
that threaten structures or neighborhoods in question.
Preparation of a Comprehensive Redevelopment Plan
The Working Group recognizes that the County and each of its communities are vulnerable to a
major disaster that could cause significant levels of damage and disruption. Such an event would
necessitate numerous decisions by each affected jurisdiction regarding restoration of community
VIII-7
services and reconstruction of damaged properties and attendant infrastructure components.
Without careful planning by all key entities within the County, decisions made in the postdisaster environment may not improve the capabilities of impacted areas to withstand future
disasters with less damage. Therefore, an important priority program of the next planning cycle
is to begin preparation of the comprehensive, coordinated post-disaster redevelopment plan.
The Marion County Office of Emergency Management has discussed proposing an initiative to
draft a County-wide Comprehensive Redevelopment Plan.
The County Comprehensive Plan is periodically reviewed in the form of Evaluation and
Appraisal Reports (EAR). Elements of the Plan are reviewed for consistency with the existing
community growth. Updating the capital improvements element of the Plan allows the County
and municipalities to include specific actions that will be completed through inclusion in the
budget. The LMS prioritized project list provides reviewers of the capital improvements element
an excellent source of ideas.
Projects that deal primarily with the safety of existing buildings and infrastructure can be
included in updates of the Land Development Code and other guidelines for building and
zoning policy. Areas that the LMS recognized as specifically vulnerable to flooding, wind
damage or wildfire should be examined before updating building and zoning codes.
Incorporation of the Strategy into Current and Future Planning Documents
The 1999 and 2004 versions of the LMS were incorporated into numerous planning documents,
processes, programs, ordinances, and development code criteria.
LMS Data:
Data generated from the LMS was used extensively to develop policies and background
materials for the Conservation Element of the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. Sinkhole
locations and areas vulnerable to wildland fires were included in the Conservation Element Map
Series attached to the 2010 update of the Comprehensive Plan.
Site planning and development criteria:
The County and its municipalities have taken a number of steps to incorporate elements of the
LMS into local development criteria and site plan review that emphasize the importance of flood,
wildfire, and sinkhole mitigation as well as the strategies used to reduce the vulnerability.
The County and the City of Ocala have adopted a landscape and irrigation ordinance that
requires removal of exotic vegetation and proper management in high fire
risk areas as a condition of development approval. Exotic vegetation including cogon grass and
other species that increase fire risk now must be removed prior to obtaining site plan approval.
Removing fire fuels prior to development can reduce the risk of wildfire damages.
VIII-8
The County and the City of Ocala have adopted new regulations relating to Springs Protection
which include requiring a geotechnical report with each major site plan or subdivision plat across
the entire County. Developers must provide buffers near karst sensitive areas and require
geological testing prior to development. Additionally, site engineers now must incorporate Low
Impact Development principles in desiging stormwater controls in order to improve the quality
of water being reabsorbed into the Floridan Aquifer. These enhanced stormwater controls can
better mitigate non-point source pollution and leaching of some hazardous materials into the
drinking water supply.
Further, the County now requires each site to provide for fire flow within urban interface zones
either through the use of centralized services or by providing underground storage tanks.
CEMP
Data, hazard analysis methodology, and vulnerable structures and populations were incorporated
into the CEMP from the LMS. Data and methodology from the LMS was used in developing the
Emergency Support Functions (ESF) contained within the Marion/Ocala CEMP.
Evaluating Progress and Establishing Additional Priorities
The Working Group intends the actions described here will, in most cases, identify and propose
specific initiatives for incorporation into future editions of the Strategy. Then, at the close of the
next planning cycle, the Working Group will evaluate the progress made towards achieving the
program priorities described here, as well as the initiatives proposed as an outcome of this
planning effort. As a result, a revised plan of action, and a modified or new set of program
priorities, will be established to guide the Working Group focus and to adjust the updated
Strategy contents.
The Working Group established project prioritization protocols in the 1999 document. The same
protocols remain, allowing the Steering Committee to evaluate and prioritize projects. Many
projects are ranked in 1- to 20-numbered style. This process involves a Notice of Intent,
followed by a Characterization Sheet. The Working Group then ranks each project based upon
the characterization submitted by its project initiator.
Mitigation Goal Description to Reduce Identified Hazards
The idea of developing mitigation goals reflects back to the 1999 Plan with emphasis on „guiding
principles.‟ These guiding principles are related to each hazard identified by the County as
critical. Some items in the hazards list were not specific to this area; therefore, goals and
mitigation strategies were not created for them.
The 1999 Plan was used merely as a reach tool to understand the DMA 2000 requirements. The
Working Group did not establish a new set of goals related to DMA 2000 because most of the
1999 guiding principles still apply. Where needed, changes were made.
In order to identify where improvements are needed, an important part of the planning effort
VIII-9
by the Working Group is to review and analyze the existing plans, programs of County and
municipal government, collectively referred to as the community‟s „guiding principles‟ for
mitigation programming. The objective of this analysis is to determine whether there are
inconsistencies or discrepancies with local governments, and to determine if the goals and
mitigation initiatives are considered adequate to address risks posed by the impacts of future
disasters. If the findings of this analysis indicated there is an area of concern, then one or more
mitigation initiatives may be defined for incorporation into the Strategy. If there is a suitable
sponsor identified for an initiative under consideration, then that agency or organization would
include the initiative in its portion of the County Strategy.
It is important to emphasize that the Marion County Working Group considers the review and
analysis of the goals and mitigation initiatives as an ongoing part of the planning process, just
like the other aspects of the process. The Working Group's review was initiated early in the
process and continues through each edition of the Marion County LMS.
The 2009 update of the plan included a review of the "guiding principles" in the context of
identifying how each community has addressed the hazards to which it is vulnerable. The 2004
update focused on addressing critical areas related to flood regulation, wildfire, hazardous
materials, mobile homes, and natural hazards. The Working Group reviewed the 2004 goals and
determined that the goals remained valid. Additional mitigation goals were added in order to
address the hazards identified in the plan in a more comprehensive and less issue focused way.
Although the level of vulnerability to any particular community varies throughout the County,
the review of the "guiding principles" has been based on an assumed equal level of risk
throughout the County for every identified hazard. The analysis process consisted of the review
of key documents from each local jurisdiction.

The 2004 Strategy included the following goals related to specific issues facing Marion County
and its municipalities. During the 2009 review of the LMS, the Steering Committee determined
these goals remain valid and should remain in the plan.
Flood and flood related regulations
Wildfire
Hazardous Materials
Mobile Homes
VIII-12
Natural Hazards
Natural hazards are those hazards that occur due to the motion of the earth, weather or created by
animals other than man. Due to the vulnerability of central Florida to natural hazards (mostly weather
related) the majority of the planning efforts have been geared towards these flood related threats.
Thirty-nine reports have been generated from the database from material that deals with issues that are
associated with flooding and flood-related hazards.
Floods and Flood Related Hazards
Reducing flooding is one of the goals followed by mitigation initiatives that the Mitigation Planning
Subcommittee selected for emphasis. The following discussion explains the goals that are now in
place, based on the current analysis, and discusses the findings in light of enhancements to plans,
policies, and programs that are being or could be considered as mitigation initiatives for incorporation
into the Marion County LMS.
Goals Analysis for Flood Mitigation and Related Programming
Flood Control
All the municipalities (even those in relatively non-flood-prone areas) and the County for the
unincorporated areas have adopted some type of stormwater-related flood control measures in their
guiding principles. For example, the County requires that adequate stormwater drainage will be
provided to afford reasonable protection from flooding and to prevent degradation of quality of the
receiving water. Also, the County has directed that by May of 1992, a program shall be established to
correct existing drainage problems.
The County has adopted numerous regulations concerning stormwater runoff and flood control. It will
not approve construction of any facility within a designated flood hazard area unless mitigation
measures as identified in the applicable regulations have been installed by the developer to overcome
an identified flood hazard.
Enhancements regarding flood control programming
The analysis, as illustrated indicated that there is a wide variability in how many of the key "guiding
principles" documents stipulate controls and requirements for flood control measures. To the
Mitigation Planning Subcommittee, this indicated a need to further assess, in detail, the current
County and municipal flood control regulations. Consequently, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee
has recommended the hiring of a consultant to conduct a County-wide study of the various
jurisdictions' compliance with FEMA requirements. Of course, if indicated, changes in the local plans
and ordinances would be made resulting in program enhancements to control future flood damages.
Goal #8 - Reduce flood damage in the County
Objectives: Minimize damage due to flooding from stormwater
VIII-13
8.1
Adapt stormwater related flood control measures in the guiding principles including LDC and
Comprehensive Plans.
8.2
Approval of construction will not take place for any facility within a designated flood hazard
area unless mitigation measures are identified and installed. These regulations will be found in
the adopted flood control regulations.
Stormwater Runoff Level of Service
Due to the vulnerability of central Florida to flood hazards, the preliminary planning efforts have been
geared towards this known hazard. This portion of the report is generated from the database material
that deals with issues that are associated with stormwater management and conservation, flood
control, and pollution control.
The County's Level of Service standard for new and existing development is listed in the following
table:

All the municipalities and the County require some type of retention/detention systems to handle
stormwater runoff from construction sites. They are required to be designed and located so as to be
"compatible with those natural terrain or landscape barriers that protect the site from flooding". The
County has adopted a broad goal to "maintain the direction and rate of historical (pre-development)
surface water flows" for all proposed developments.
Enhancements regarding stormwater control programming
From the Working Group's perspective, the analysis to date indicates that the issues with enhanced
stormwater control do not lie in the "guiding principles" for this hazard, but rather in the existing
infrastructure to effectively handle excess stormwater when it occurs. Therefore, the planning
participants have viewed the enhancements needed in stormwater control to be most effectively
addressed through structural mitigation initiatives to improve existing drainage projects or develop
new projects. This would require additional funding for implementation of all the projects that are
indicated as needed. Several such projects have been discussed with County stormwater management
VIII-14
engineers, and it is anticipated that several structural initiatives concerning stormwater management
will be proposed prior to finalizing the initial Strategy.
Stormwater Runoff and Pollution Control
A search of the mitigation factor "stormwater management" and the mitigation sub-factor of "pollution
control" generated ten reports.
Highlights of the reports include the observation that all municipalities and the County have addressed
stormwater management and pollution control. The County has adopted many ambitious regulations
concerning stormwater and pollution control including a major ordinance adopted in 2009 specifically
focused on protecting the natural springs of Marion County through a combination of stormwater
controls, landscaping and irrigation standards, and land use regulations.
The County has established a well head protection area (WHPA) of 200' primary and 1,000'secondary
from the well head to protect citizens from the effects of polluted stormwater runoff.
Objective - Minimize damage due to pollution from stormwater
8.3
Design retention/detention systems to handle stormwater runoff from construction sites, not
simply for final construction
8.4
Create development codes that provide structural mitigation measures to improve existing
drainage projects and secondly develop new projects.
Water Use and Conservation
Of the focus areas selected by the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee, water use and conservation
would also be considered to be related to wildfire control and the availability of water during drought
for wildfire suppression. Thirteen reports have been developed which show some of the "guiding
principles" that are currently in place to lessen the impact of stormwater runoff as it relates to
conservation and nature, and potable water considerations.
The City of Ocala has included regulations regarding landscaping and particularly water conservation
through the use of irrigation systems. While the unregulated use of irrigation systems can create a
significant draw on the local water supply system, it can save considerable amounts of water
compared to the use of hoses and lawn sprinklers.
Marion County has a regulation that states that the County shall implement water conservation
programs and requirements that are consistent with the water conservation policies of the SJRWMD
and the SWFWMD. Additionally, the County has adopted new landscape and irrigation regulations
promoting the use of water efficient irrigation and use of native and drought tolerant plants on a
countywide scale. Finally, the County has submitted a Water Supply Plan to the DCA for final review
that covers the portion of the County located in the Priority Water Resource Caution Area.
Enhancements regarding water conservation programming
VIII-15
Based on the "guiding principles" assessment, there were no clear indications that modifications or
enhancements to plans and programs for water conservation were needed at this time for incorporation
into the initial edition of the Strategy.
Goal #9 - Reduce water use and conservation to control the availability of water during drought for
wildfire suppression
Objective - Minimize damage due over use of water
9.1
Adopt conservation regulations regarding types of landscaping allowed as well as type of
irrigation systems allowed.
9.2
Approval of construction will not take place of any facility within a designated flood hazard
area unless mitigation measures are identified and installed. These regulations will be found in
the municipal flood control regulations.
Enhancements regarding hazardous materials control programming
The hazard identification and vulnerability assessment process undertaken by the Working Group, has
indicated that there are numerous "critical facilities" that exist within the predicted impact zone of
facilities using or storing hazardous materials. The results of the "guiding principles" analysis
indicates that it may be very helpful to further develop mitigation programming in this area for such
activities as:
Awareness and educational programs for the special populations at risk
Enhanced accident warning systems for special facilities and populations
Protective action planning to evacuate or shelter-in-place the populations of special facilities
that do not currently have such plans.
Revisiting the existing emergency plans of health care facilities at risk to incorporate shelterin-place implementation procedures.
To date, the planning participants have not had the opportunity to pursue such potential mitigation
initiatives, but can consider these and other options for initiatives for corporation into the Strategy.
Goal #10 - Reduce danger of critical facilities to potential hazardous waste releases
Objective: Enhance critical facilities of potential danger.
10.1
Create an education program that critical facilities could provide to their employees including
directions to constructed in place shelters.
10.2
Have each municipality provide an early detection and warning system to the critical facilities
in the event of a release.
Mobile and Manufactured Homes
VIII-16
The fact that mobile and manufactured homes is an area of focus for the "guiding principles" analysis
reflects these structures have relatively greater vulnerability to high winds and flooding impacts. In
addition, a high percentage of Marion County residents use this type of structure as their primary
residence. Therefore, the hazard identification and risk assessment information presented, indicates the
large number of such structures at risk within Marion County, as well as their high level of
vulnerability to damage from hurricane force winds.
Enhancements to programming for protection of mobile and manufactured housing
A search of the mitigation sub-factor "mobile homes" in the database produced only one report. The
City of Ocala requires all new mobile home parks and subdivisions to be located on arterial or
collector streets to facilitate movement of the mobile home units into and out of the development. This
is an indication that the existing "guiding principles" in Marion County may not be effectively
addressing the risks to mobile and manufactured housing. This issue was more fully addressed with
the promulgation of the State Building Code in 2007. Nevertheless, some of the potential mitigation
initiatives that were considered by the Working Group for incorporation into the initial edition of the
Marion County LMS regarding this program area were:
Goal #11 - Reduce risk of mobile home residents to natural disasters
Objective: Enhance the quality of the homes and specify locations for construction.
11.1
Develop new or enhanced codes regarding the characteristics of mobile home communities to
provide enhanced capability in evacuation and/or sheltering from high winds.
11.2
Replace and/or retrofit mobile structures used in community buildings, schools, and local
agency operations.
11.3
Propose other such programmatic improvements that would result in increased protection for
residents of mobile and manufactured homes.
11.4
Improve enforcement of existing requirements for tie downs.
Objective: Provide education to residents of mobile homes
11.5
Establish a program for retrofitting of community centers as storm shelters.
11.6
Distribute weather radios to mobile home community managers and/or residents of mobile
homes for advanced warning of severe weather.
11.7
Establish a program for financially assisting economically disadvantaged mobile home
residents in there pair or placement of tie downs.
11.8
Provide public education programs in wind and flood mitigation to existing mobile home
residents.
VIII-17
The action items that are needed to ensure operability during a storm are primarily the same for all
jurisdictions. To better understand which communities should focus on which action items a
spreadsheet was created. In this spreadsheet the values of High (H), Medium (M) and Low (L) have
been assigned to each municipality‟s need to focus their primary mitigation strategies on a particular
action item. A definition of the values and their relationship to the action item is described below.
Actions that promote control of hazards
Storm water controls – Stormwater management plans through grants and fees.
 H – Extreme documented flooding in jurisdiction
 M – Some flooding in specific areas
 L – Little to no flooding
Structures to lessen hazard impacts – Hurricane shutters are one of the most cost-effective
mitigation measures. All critical public facilities should be “hurricane hardened.” New
facilities should be built to current structural standards for withstanding hurricane winds.
 H – Many critical facilities without hurricane hardening
 M – Few critical facilities without hurricane hardening
 L – All critical facilities have hurricane hardening
Actions that protect public facilities and infrastructure
Adjust infrastructure location, design – Avoid building new public infrastructure that will
encourage growth in high hazard areas. Design new public infrastructure to withstand
disasters.
 H – High development rate
 M – Some new development – very few public buildings
 L – New development – primarily private
Retrofit community facilities – Shutters, hurricane clips, roof retrofits, door braces
 H – Many facilities without hurricane hardening
 M – Few facilities without hurricane hardening
 L – All facilities with hurricane hardening
Hazard-proof new community facilities – Assure proper elevation, backup generators, safe
guard computers and communications systems.
 H – All public facilities should comply due to potential hazards
 M – Some potential for future hazards
 L – Very little potential for hazards
Site community facilities to maintain services – Site community facilities near trunk lines for
utilities and ensure that access roads don‟t flood.
 H – Very little development outside city limits
 M – Expanded city limits
 L – Continual development
Actions that promote emergency preparedness and response
Preparedness plan/program – increase communications system and warning procedures for all
disasters. Increase weather-monitoring capabilities.
 H – Level of potential hazards
 M – Level of potential hazards
 L – Level of potential hazards
VIII-18
Emergency response plans – Continue ongoing efforts for planning, preparedness and training.
Focus on issues identified in needs assessments.
 H – No specific response plan
 M – A limited response plan
 L – Response plan
Evacuation plan/program – Begin with population/ housing analysis possibly following the
2000 census. Perform transportation analysis using updated traffic counts and roadway
capacities.

Other Program and Policy Enhancements
In conducting the "guiding principles" analysis, the Working Group recognized that there would be a
need for enhancements to plans, policies and programs that would not be directly related to a single
type of hazard or disaster event. The progress in addressing this area of program enhancement is
summarized below.
Post-Disaster or Long-Term Community Redevelopment
A review of the existing "guiding principles" indicated that another area in need of enhancements for
plans, programs and policies is in the area of controlling post-disaster redevelopment. A search of the
database on this topic indicates the Marion County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
addresses recovery in a generic sense; for example, it discusses damage assessment, public assistance,
and reconstruction. However, the reconstruction discussion describes the technical assistance that is
available to obtain funds for redevelopment, without mentioning stricter building codes/standards that
may or may not be in effect.
Enhancements to post-disaster redevelopment programming
The existing "guiding principles" do not appear to provide an adequate basis to effectively manage the
post-disaster redevelopment process in the aftermath of a major disaster striking the area. Therefore,
one of the enhancements to the existing plans and programs will be to propose to develop a
comprehensive, multi-organizational planning process to develop a coordinated plan for management
of post-disaster redevelopment operations.
Promotion and Coordination of Local Mitigation Programming
While not a direct outcome of the "guiding principles" analysis, the Working Group recognized that
there was a lack of a designated individual or agency to serve as the focal point for several functions
directly related to promotion and coordination of mitigation programming in Marion County,
including:
Maintenance and updating of the Marion County LMS,
Monitoring and promoting implementation of the Strategy,
Maintaining the computerized databases made available to the Working Group by the project
staff,
Providing expert assistance to the planning participants in preparation of funding applications for
financial support to implement the initiatives incorporated into the Strategy,
Providing staff and logistical support to the Working Group and its subcommittees, and
To otherwise promote and coordinate improvements and enhancements in mitigation programming
in Marion County.
VIII-21
Part of the origin of this Initiative lay in the clear fact that many agencies and organizations have been
given responsibility for mitigation programming. This is indicated by the information being developed
pursuant to the assessment of mitigation programming responsibility. It is anticipated that the Steering
Committee will request that such a position be established. With the County's concurrence, the intent
to establish this position when the resources became available would be a mitigation initiative
incorporated by the County into the initial edition of the Strategy.
At this time, it is anticipated that these Initiatives for mitigation initiatives will be incorporated into
the initial edition of the Strategy. When resources become available, and these initiatives can be
implemented, the programmatic enhancement will help to prevent unwarranted damage to Marion
County's business community during future disasters.
Concept Paper for Consideration by the Marion Working Group for Local Mitigation Strategy
Development
A Proposed Mitigation Initiative to Develop a Wildfire Risk Management Ordinance
Origin of the Initiative: The analysis of the guiding principles governing mitigation programming
has indicated that there is no comprehensive guidance for the control of wildfire risk in the
unincorporated areas of Marion County or in its municipalities. In comparison with the wildfire risk
documented by the hazard identification and vulnerability assessment process conducted for Marion
County, as well as past experience with wildfires, has demonstrated a need for improved capabilities
in wildfire risk management.
Summary of the Initiative: The communities at risk from future wildfires, as defined by the hazard
identification and vulnerability assessment process, would propose to consider for adoption, at a later
appropriate time, a comprehensive addition to the land development code to control the wildfire risk
of new developments. This proposed code change could encompass the following basic options:
Mandatory vs. voluntary - Developed vs. undeveloped lands
Small vs. large property tracts - Vegetation control only
Control over tract development pattern - Control over landscaping
Provisions for emergency declarations - Specific locations addressed
Changes to any local restrictions on prescript burning of properties
Possible Sponsors for the Initiative: The County (Fire-Rescue, Planning and Zoning, Growth
Management, etc.) for unincorporated areas at risk; Municipal governments for the towns and cities at
risk.
Benefits of the Initiative: For those jurisdictions where adopted, and depending on the terms of the
proposed code change, the result during future wildfire events could be a reduction in property
damage, a lessening of the threat to public health and safety to residents in the urban interface, and
minimization of emergency response and disaster recovery costs.
Cost Impact of the Initiative: The cost to develop and promulgate the proposed ordinance would be
VIII-22
very small to local governments. However, depending on the terms of the proposed code change, there
could be a cost to land developers and owners for compliance.
Likely Funding Source: It would not be necessary to establish a funding source for a code change
such as this.
Development
A Proposed Mitigation Initiative to Improve Notification of Special Populations at Risk and Their
Preparedness for Emergency and Disasters
Origin of the Initiative: The hazard identification and vulnerability assessment process has
demonstrated that there are several facilities holding special populations, as well as special needs
individuals resident among the general population, that are vulnerable to a variety of natural and
technological disasters. Several of these types of disasters have the potential for rapid onset or
escalation. Currently Marion County does not have the means to rapidly notify these individuals at
risk, and they are typically not prepared to promptly take effective protective actions.
Summary of the Initiative: Marion County and its municipalities need a mechanism to quickly notify
these facilities and individuals of a threatening emergency and to have assurance that effective
protective actions will be taken. At this time, there is uncertainty as to the optimum way to make these
notifications, and guidance for emergency response planning for different types of facilities is limited.
Therefore, a study of the optimum notification mechanism for special facilities will be conducted and,
as a part of the study, one or more types of effective emergency planning guidance will be defined to
address the needs of the facilities and prepared for distribution.
Possible Sponsors for the Initiative: The County's emergency management agency may be the most
appropriate sponsor, with the cooperation of other County and municipal agencies who deal with the
needs of special populations and special needs individuals. State agencies responsible for health care
facilities could also be involved.
Benefits of the Initiative: The Initiative would create an increased capability to protect the health and
safety of special populations and special needs facilities once the notification system was in place and
the planning guidance distributed and used.
Cost Impact of the Initiative: The costs of the Initiative would be for time and services of personnel
in the study of the notification systems needed and development of the guidance documents. An
estimated cost of $50,000 for both activities is probably adequate. Additional, follow-up costs would
be necessary for the purchase and installation of the notification system and the distribution and
utilization of emergency planning guide documents.
Likely Funding Sources: Likely funding sources could be a competitive grant from the Florida
Division of Emergency Management or from federal grants for programs to support the elderly,
economically disadvantaged, or the handicapped.
VIII-23
Development
A Proposed Mitigation Initiative to Prepare a Comprehensive Post-Disaster Redevelopment Plan
Origin of the Initiative: Review of the existing guiding principles for Marion County and its
municipalities indicates that there is no comprehensive plan for guiding and managing the
redevelopment of the impacted community in the aftermath of a major disaster.
Summary of the Initiative: Request resources to prepare a County-wide, comprehensive
redevelopment plan for management of local government operations in the redevelopment of the
impacted communities. The planning would involve County and municipal agencies, and perhaps key
elements of the private sector. The plan would address redevelopment issues such as issuance of
building permits, construction inspection, contractor qualification, support to impacted businesses and
industries, demands on local agencies and personnel, etc.
Possible Sponsors for the Initiative: The County would be the most likelysponsor of this initiative,
perhaps utilizing an approach establishing a lead County agency, such as land planning, growth
management, permitting and inspection, with other designated support County agencies, such as
emergency management, utilities, etc.
Benefits of the Initiative: The availability of a comprehensive, County-wide redevelopment plan
would have many benefits in the aftermath of a major disaster. The policies and requirements
governing reconstruction of damaged properties, utilities, and the infrastructure would be established.
Plans would also be in place to mobilize the additional resources needed at the County and municipal
level to expedite the effective and efficient process of helping the community return to normalcy. This
plan would enable local governments to speed the reconstruction and redevelopment effort without
unwarranted compromise to ensuring the future "disaster-resistance “of the rebuilt communities,
minimizing the overall economic and human costs of the event.
Costs Impact of the Initiative: The costs of the Initiative would be for the time and materials needed
by County and municipal personnel to meet for decision-making, gather information, prepare
documentation, and seek promulgation of the plan by local governing bodies. If desired, a budget for
contracting with a consultant to assist in the planning process could be incorporated into the initiative.
Overall an estimated cost of $50,000 to $75,000 could be anticipated.
Likely Funding Sources: A variety of funding sources could be considered for implementation,
including local government budgeting, hazard mitigation grant program funding, or funding under the
State's Emergency Management and Preparedness Trust Fund (Competitive grant program).
VIII-24
Development
A Proposed Mitigation Initiative to Increase Awareness of Flood Hazards and the Need for Flood
Insurance
Origin of the Initiative: A survey of the both the general public and local businesses has indicated
that there is a lack of awareness of the flood hazard in areas of Marion County and its municipalities
among a significant portion of the respondents. In addition, the surveys have also indicated that
significant portion of the property and business owners located in the floodplain do not have flood
insurance.
Summary of the Initiative: The proposed initiative would consist of developing and implementing
County-wide educational program for both the public and businesses located in the special flood
hazard areas. This program could consist, as desired, of the following elements:
Identification of the properties at risk - Development of educational materials
Identifying agents selling flood insurance - Promoting the flood insurance purchase
Encouraging flood proofing - Advanced disclosure to property buyers
Possible Sponsors for the Initiative: This Initiative could be sponsored on a County-wide basis by a
single agency from the County, with the cooperation of each participating municipality having
properties at risk from flood. Insurance agents or associations of agents may wish to cooperate in
promoting the purchase of flood insurance. Chambers of Commerce and business associations maybe
interested in promoting the program to business owners. Mortgage lending institutions and/or
Realtors could also be interested, positively or negatively, in the question of advanced disclosure of
risk.
Benefits of tile Initiative: The proposed program would be expected to increase the percentage of
property and business owners who purchase and maintain flood insurance, thereby lowering the
economic impacts of future flood disasters.
Costs Impact of the Initiative: The costs for the Initiative would be for the identification of
properties at risk, development of educational materials, and their distribution. Additional costs may
be necessary to publicize the program to the community at large to achieve a higher percentage of
participation. There would be a cost impact of the program to those property owners purchasing flood
insurance for the first time.
Likely Funding Sources: A proposed mitigation initiative such as this would probably be eligible
for state funding under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, the Flood Mitigation Assistance
Program, the competitive County or municipal grant program of the Florida Division of Emergency
Management, or similar mitigation-related funding program.
VIII-25
Concept Paper for Consideration by the Marion County Working Group for LMS Development
A Proposed Mitigation Initiative to Improve Hazard Mitigation Programming for Mobile and
Manufactured Housing Residents
Origin of the Initiative: The hazard identification and vulnerability assessment process for Marion
County has indicated that there are several mobile and manufactured home communities that are
vulnerable to the impacts of high winds, flooding, and wildfires. The guiding principles analysis has
also indicated that the County and its municipalities do not currently have specific programs or
requirements that address these risks.
Summary of the Initiative: The County and those municipalities having mobile and/or
manufactured home communities of significant size would develop programs
appropriate to their own needs in areas such as:
Inventorying of existing homes by age/type - Survey of condition of homes
Promulgation of codes for new communities - Funding for home retrofitting
Community-specific vulnerability assessment - Community education programs
Warning and notification systems - Storm shelter development
Community-based emergency planning - Risk disclosure to residents
Possible Sponsors for the Initiative: Development of this program may be the most effective if done
on a consistent, County-wide basis. Local governments would have the statutory authority to
implement such functions as code promulgation and code enforcement inspections, and the
appropriate agency within the County or its municipalities would be the sponsor if these components
are included. Community associations and/or management may be suitable for sponsoring educational
components. County and/or municipal emergency services agencies may be good sponsors for
vulnerability assessment and emergency planning program components.
Benefits of the Initiative: The higher vulnerability of the residents of mobile and manufactured
homes to disaster-related safety risks would be decreased. Depending on the specific components of
the proposed program, property damage from future disasters could also be minimized.
Costs Impact of the Initiative: The costs and/or cost impact of the Initiative would vary with the
scope of the programs proposed and their components. Generally, there could be personnel costs for
program development, design and construction costs for retrofitting programs, and cost-impacts to
property owners for meeting the requirements of any codes to be promulgated. Risk disclosure could
be claimed to have a cost impact as well.
Likely Funding Sources: Probably funding sources would vary with the program components
included. State hazard mitigation grant programs may be suitable for construction and retrofitting.
Funds for defined populations, such as low income, may also be available. Community associations
and management may be appropriate sources for funding education programs.
VIII-26
Concept Paper for Consideration by the Marion County Working Group for Local Mitigation
Strategy Development
A Proposed Mitigation Initiative of Hazards Threatening Evacuation Routes
Origin of the Initiative: The hazard identification and vulnerability assessment process has indicated
that designated evacuation routes within Marion County and several municipalities are threatened with
flooding, debris blockage and other types of hazards. In order to protect the capability to evacuate, it is
necessary to eliminate or minimize these types of hazards.
Summary of the Initiative: All evacuation routes important to the effective evacuation of specific
neighborhoods, or to supporting regional hurricane evacuation that are vulnerable to localized
flooding would be defined and mitigation initiatives proposed for implementation (e.g., roadway
elevation, storm drainage improvement, etc.)
Possible Sponsors for the Initiative: The sponsors selected for this initiative would depend on the
responsibility for the roadways of concern. Potential sponsors could include state, County or
municipal highway departments, perhaps in conjunction with the County or municipal agency
responsible for public works or storm water management.
Benefits of the Initiative: Upon completion of the construction, the greater assurance that evacuation
routes will remain available to traffic when needed could reduce evacuation times and help protect the
lives of evacuating populations. In most cases, evacuation routes are also the principal roadways
serving the community.
Costs Impact of the Initiative: Costs for the initiative would depend on the number of roadways
requiring attention, and the scope of the corrective project selected for each point of vulnerability.
Costs would likely be significant in view of the construction-related nature of each project.
Likely Funding Sources: Funding sources could include those typically used for capital improvement
projects of this type, such as highway and public works funds. In addition, due to the mitigationrelated purposes of these projects, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and Flood Mitigation Assistance
Program may be available.
VIII-27
Concept Paper for Consideration by the Marion County Working Group for Local
Mitigation Strategy Development
A Proposed Mitigation Initiative to Develop and Implement a Comprehensive
Business Emergency Preparedness Program
Origin of the Initiative: A survey of businesses and industries, conducted by the Marion County
Working Group indicated that there is a significant portion of the County's private sector that is not
fully prepared to respond to and recover from future disasters.
Summary of the Initiative: A comprehensive package of awareness, education and guidance
materials would be prepared and made available to the private sector. This package, as desired, could
consist of one or more of the following:
Awareness information on risk areas - A "model" emergency response plan
A "model" business recovery plan - Information on flood insurance availability
Data on business interruption insurance - Workshops on emergency preparedness
Creating a business assistance center - Creating a business ESF for the County
Establishing a mitigation loan fund - Creating a preparedness award program
A "refresher" package of similar material, or a program of implementation monitoring, could be
included in the initiative to maintain the program in future years.
Possible Sponsors for the Initiative: Sponsors from the private sector would probably be the most
effective, and could include chambers of commerce, economic development agencies, business
roundtables, etc. Insurance companies or associations may also be interested. Public sector sponsors
could include County emergency management agencies or business promotion and support offices.
Benefits of the Initiative: Initial implementation and continuing maintenance of the program would
result in a business community less vulnerable to extended loss of operation or complete closure as the
result of future disasters. This would avoid loss of jobs, purchase of goods and services, and tax
revenue generation after future disasters. Depending on the size and characteristics of the businesses
participating, the savings could be very substantial.
Costs Impact of the Initiative: Costs would be for the development of the informational and
guidance materials, and the resources needed for the implementation method utilized. If a revolving
business mitigation loan fund was included in the program, an initial principal amount would be
required. If development of a business ESF or a business disaster assistance center was included, the
costs for the personnel resources needed for the planning should be considered.
Likely Funding Sources: Funding sources could depend on the scope and characteristics of the
program selected as the initiative. Private sector organizations may be interested in funding the
educational components of the program, while insurance and banking interests may have an interest in
insurance and loan programs.
VIII-28
Instructions for Completing Hazard Vulnerability Worksheet
The purpose of this worksheet is to provide a format for listing specific facilities and then scoring
them in each of the various areas of vulnerability listed across the top of the page. The total of these
scores will provide a “vulnerability score” that can be used to identify facilities with higher than
average vulnerabilities, and then allow the owner/operator to evaluate the facility for potential
mitigative actions that can reduce that vulnerability.
This worksheet is designed to capture all facilities that are the responsibility of one department within
an organization in order that the contact person shown on the worksheet will be the same for all
facilities listed. For example, the appropriate utility department and contact person information would
be the same on each worksheet if all facilities were sewage system related. If some of the facilities
were part of the water system and operated by another person within the utility, then a separate set of
worksheets would be completed.
In the event there are numerous facilities that each have a different operating department and contact
person, it may be more appropriate to complete a “Critical Facilities Inventory Form” on each rather
than use a worksheet for only one or two facilities. This would allow the person scoring the facilities
to list all of the disjoint facilities on the worksheet for scoring, but would have the detailed
owner/operator information on separate inventory forms so they could be entered into a database.
The following instructions should help the person doing the scoring understand the meaning of each
area of the worksheet.
Date: Enter the date this worksheet was completed.
Jurisdiction: Print the name of the jurisdiction that the facilities on this report are located in. If the
location is in the unincorporated County then enter the name of the County.
Organization: What is the name of the jurisdiction or organization that actually owns the facility?
Department: If there is a specific department within the jurisdiction or organization that is responsible
for the facilities on this report, print the name of that department.
Facility Name and Address: Print the name of the facility and its physical address in one of the spaces
on the form. Include the City and Zip Code (preferably nine digit code). The physical address is
necessary for GIS mapping purposes. If the latitude and longitude are known for the facility, print
them below the address.
Contact Person, Title, Etc.: Print the name, title, mailing address, phone and fax for the person that is
to be contacted for questions about the facilities listed. This would most appropriately be the
individual that did the scoring on the facilities.

Marion County Local Mitigation Strategy Mitigation
Initiative/Project Scoring/Prioritization Procedures
This procedure is for the development and maintenance of the Marion County Local Mitigation Strategy
(LMS) Mitigation Initiative/Project Listing to prioritize those projects listed in the LMS document. The
goal is to provide objective and consistent standards for the LMS Steering Committee for the evaluation,
scoring, and prioritization of projects to allow for an effective comparison of projects when potential
funding sources become available.
Overview
The scoring/prioritization process is necessary to identify and establish a prioritized list projects for the
LMS document. Scoring using the information provided by the Mitigation Initiative/Project Application
submitted for each project. Scoring projects intends to incorporate three basic considerations:
1. Consider all foreseeable significant decision factors involved in the merit and feasibility of
implementing the proposed project,
2. Provide a uniform method to numerically quantify projects for scoring and ranking and support
potential computerization of the scoring/prioritization,
3. Provide a uniform method to evaluate projects regardless of their origin, restrictions, and
purposes by assessing each project individually to determine the resulting score and
prioritization including for the particular funding situations.
Decision Factors
In all cases, the LMS Steering Committee will score the projects based only on the “worst case” analysis,
using the information provided on the Mitigation Initiative/Project Application. The analyses conducted
for the “most likely” situation will be useful during the application process for funding or other
approval/permitting steps. The higher the numerical score of the project, the higher the overall priority of
the project by the LMS Steering Committee.
The decision factor categories considered for scoring are:
1.

The cost of implementing the project
The cost impact of the initiative
The benefit to cost / cost impact ratio
The probability of community acceptance

The feasibility of implementation
Consistency with other plans and programs
The rankings assigned to each factor are explained below.

The Probability of Receiving Funding for Implementation
This decision factor considers the likelihood that the appropriate officials or agencies would fund the
project adequately for its implementation as proposed. The scoring approach for this decision factor relies
on the concept that the potential for difficulty in funding means that the initiative should be ranked higher
than for one for which funding can be easily secured. This reflects the assumption that one of the
fundamental purposes of the Marion County Local Mitigation Strategy is to

Consistency with other Plans and Programs
This decision factor is used to consider the level of consistency that the mitigation initiative has with other
current plans and programs that have been previously approved, accepted or utilized by the community to
be affected or benefited by the initiative. The premise here is that proposed mitigation initiatives should be
ranked higher if they are consistent with these other plans and programs, rather than if they are inconsistent
or in conflict with the goals and objectives of generally accepted guiding principles.
The following types of plans, policies and programs to be considered under this decision factor are the

VIII-46
Funding Sources
The following list of funding sources is the major source that will be considered in the LMS. These
sources are administered through the State of Florida and consider hazard mitigation as a main priority
in their funding criteria. It is recommended that further information on any of these grants funding
sources be investigated by accessing the Resource Identification Strategy website which can be found
at:
http://flris.org/
The Resource Identification Strategy features a database within DCA‟s website that contains
information on historical and potential funding sources for disaster mitigation, recovery and long term
redevelopment projects funded by federal, state and other organizations. The database provides
representative examples of grant projects that have been approved by each grant funding resource.
Program descriptions include eligibility requirements, application procedures and contact information
are provided for various funding sources. Users can search for information by disaster type, state,
project type, and keywords. The goal of the database is to provide communities with potential revenue
before a crisis, when developing local mitigation strategies, and after a disaster when looking at ways to
build stronger, disaster resistant communities.
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) operates under the authority of Public Law 100707, the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. There are two (2) hazard mitigation
programs authorized under the Stafford Act. The site specific mitigation under Section 406 of the
Stafford Act is part of each Damage Survey Report that is written if authorized by the federal/state/local
officials and is in accordance with any applicable rules and regulations. This type of mitigation
receives 75 percent federal money and requires a state/local match of 25 percent. However, the State of
Florida will currently provide half of the 25% match for grant applications that are awarded HMGP
funds.
The HMGP under Section 404 provides 75/25 matching funds to eligible applicants to implement
immediate and long-term hazard mitigation measures. A total of up to 15 percent of the combined
public assistance and individual assistance programs are available to fund hazards mitigation projects.
These measures will be consistent with the state‟s Hazard Mitigation Administrative Plan and the
Hazard Mitigation Plan developed in response to the planning requirements of the Stafford Act.
The HMGP is used to fund projects to protect either public or private property.
Examples are:
Structural hazard control or protection, such as debris basins or stormwater facilities
Retrofitting of critical facilities, such as flood proofing or installation of hurricane shutters
Property acquisition, relocation, and elevation to protect structures from future damage
Development of state and local mitigation standards, and comprehensive mitigation plans or
programs with implementation as an essential component.
VIII-47
Public Assistance Funding
Section 406 of the Stafford Act authorizes funding to local governments for cost-effective repairs,
restoration, reconstruction, or replacement of a public facility damaged or destroyed by a major disaster.
This funding is site specific and must be tied to specific damaged facility facilities.
The Federal Coordinating Officer may authorize hazard mitigation measures that are necessary for
compliance with codes and standards if the measures are in the public interest and the following
conditions are met:
1. The mitigation measures will substantially reduce or eliminate the risk of recurring damage to
the facility.
2. The measures reflect sound engineering and construction practices.
3. The measures are cost-effective.
4. Applicable environmental and floodplain management requirements have been met.
It is important that the State Hazard Mitigation Officer work with the Hazard Mitigation Engineer when
inspecting the damage to make site specific recommendations for incorporating hazard mitigation
measures into necessary repairs and to include them in the Damage Survey Reports.
Emergency Management Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund
The Emergency Management Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund (EMPA) consists of two
competitive grant programs: The Emergency Management Competitive Grant Program and the
Municipal Competitive Grant Program. Both programs are designed to implement projects that will
further State and local emergency management objectives. The Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
to open grant cycles for the EMPA grant programs are published in the Florida Administrative Weekly.
Examples of eligible activities include:
Storm Shelter and critical facility retrofitting and equipping.
Informational studies relating to evacuation scenarios, hurricane
insurance risk assessment, transportation methodologies.
Operational readiness and response equipment (such as radios, potable
water delivery system, search and rescue equipment, warning/alert
devices).
Public disaster education projects, including individual training, radio and television public
service announcements, brochures/ publications.
LMS development activities.
Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMAP)
The Florida Division of Emergency Management in coordination with the Federal Emergency
management Agency administers the FMAP which is a pre-disaster grant program. Planning is the
foundation of flood mitigation. Therefore, the State of Florida and FEMA encourages local
governments to identify ways to reduce their risk of flood damage by preparing Flood Mitigation Plans.
VIII-48
Planning grants may be provided to local governments to develop or update the flood portion of Local
Mitigation Strategies. Project grants are available to owners of repetitively flooded structures to reduce
flood losses. Examples of projects include:
Elevation of structures insured by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Acquisition of NFIP insured structures and real property.9Relocation or demolition of NFIP
insured structures.
Dry flood proofing of NFIP insured structures.
Minor localized drainage projects.9Beach renourishment activities
Florida Communities Trust
The Florida Communities Trust Program (FCT) provides approximately $30 million annually to local
governments. Small local governments with a population of less than 10,000 are eligible for a 100%
grant award. The amount of any award or combination of awards to an applicant cannot exceed ten
percent of the advertised amount of available funding. Application cycles are announced in the Florida
Administrative Weekly at least 75 days prior to each application deadline.
The FCT program offers incentives to assist local governments in protecting resources identified in the
comprehensive plan. FCT helps to implement conservation, recreation, open space, and coastal
management elements. FCT provides financial and technical assistance to acquire lands that conserve
natural resources, correct undesirable development patterns, restore degraded natural areas, enhance
resource values, restore deteriorated urban water fronts, reserve lands for later purchase, use innovative
land acquisition methods, and provide public access to surface waters.
Florida Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
In addition to the long established CDBG entitlement programs the state allocates funding for a
Neighborhood Revitalization program and an Economic Development program. Typical activities that
are eligible for the Revitalization program are:
Construction of water and sewer lines
Construction of streets and neighborhood facilities.
Sewer and water system hookups.
Upgrades to systems in low to moderate income neighborhoods.
Housing.
Typical activities eligible for funding under the Economic Development program are:
Assistance to local businesses in retaining or creating jobs.
Public infrastructure necessary for business to locate at a desired site.
The CDBG program will also allocate funding to affected areas following Presidentially declared
disasters. Current priorities are: acquisition of repetitive loss properties, elevation of structures, and
drainage projects. As always, CDBG grant funding focuses on low to moderate income households.
VIII-49
Other Emergency Related Funding Sources
These funding sources are not specifically targeted by the LMS however are included to give a more
complete overview of disaster related funding sources.
Small Business Administration (SBA)
Once implemented, the SBA program can offer low interest rates to individuals and businesses for
refinancing, repair, rehabilitation or replacement of damaged property (real and personnel). Loans may
be available to businesses which have suffered an economic impact as the result of the disaster. An
SBA declaration can be made independently or in concert with a Presidential disaster Declaration.
There must be a minimum of 25 homes or businesses with 40 percent or more uninsured losses and/or
five businesses with substantial with economic or physical losses.
Temporary Housing
In the event of Presidentially declared disaster, the FEMA managed Temporary Housing Program may
be authorized in order to meet the housing needs of victims. The program has several components
including:
1.
Mortgage and Rental Assistance Program Individual and Family Grant Program
Applicable for individuals or families who have received written notice of eviction or
foreclosure due to financial hardship caused by the disaster.
2.
Rental Assistance
Provided to homeowners or renters, whose dwelling is determined unlivable as a direct
result of the disaster.
3.
Minimal Repair Program
This program provides money for owner occupied, primary residences which have
sustained minor damage, and are unlivable as a direct result of the disaster.
4.
Mobile Homes or Other Readily Fabricated Dwellings
When all other avenues are exhausted, FEMA may initiate the mobile home program.
Such homes are moved to, or near, the disaster site and set up.
The Individual and Family Grant Program provides grants up to $12,900 to help families meet serious
needs and necessary expenses that are not covered by other governmental assistance programs,
insurance, or other conventional forms of assistance. Financial aid can be provided under the following
categories:
Medical expenses
VIII-50
Transportation costs
Home repairs
Replacement of essential property
Protective measures
Funeral expenses
75 percent of the costs are funded by FEMA and 25 percent funded by the state and/or local
government.
Disaster Unemployment Assistance
Individuals unemployed as a result of a major disaster, and not covered by regular state or private
unemployment insurance programs, will be eligible for unemployment benefits. The weekly
compensation received will not exceed the maximum amount of payment under Florida‟s
Unemployment Compensation Program, and may be provided until an individual is re-employed or up
to 26 weeks after the major disaster is declared, whichever is the shorter period.
Farmers Home Administration (FmHA)
Low interest disaster loans are made available to farmers, ranchers and agricultural operators for
physical or production losses. Loans of up to 50 percent of the loss are made available to farmers,
ranchers and agricultural operators for physical or production losses. Loans of up to 50 percent of the
loss or $500,000 (whichever is less) may be made to either the tenant or owner of the agricultural
business.
Income Tax Service
The Internal Revenue Service helps victims identify ways in which the disaster affects their federal
income tax. Casualty loss credits, early tax refunds and information on lost documentation are some
services available to disaster victims.
Food Coupons
Emergency food coupons may be made available to disaster victims. This program is administered by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture at the federal level and DHRS at the state level. Length and
eligibility for receiving food coupons will be determined by the President.
Community Outreach
FEMA and state officials will conduct “outreach” activities in an effort to inform disaster victims
concerning what programs are available, where the DACS are located and hours of operations. This
outreach will be accomplished by utilizing all media resources and by assembling and deploying
outreach teams to remote areas to inform residents of assistance efforts.
Disaster Related Stress Management
Professional services are provided to help relieve disaster related stress and prevent the development of
VIII-51
more serious physical and mental health problems.
Florida Department of Insurance
Assistance and information about resolving insurance claims are provided.
National Fire Programs
Project Grants; Use of Property, Facilities, and Equipment; Provision of Specialized Services Direct
Financial Assistance. These programs are administered by a variety of forestry and land management
agencies at State and Federal agencies.
VIII-52
Local Resource Identification Strategy
Attached as Appendix “G” is a matrix outlining many different and various funding sources related to
disaster relief that is the starting point, and will eventually become an appendix of, the Local Resource
Identification Strategy.
The purpose of this index is to provide basic information about assistance programs available to
individuals, businesses, and public entities after a disaster. This information is intended to serve as a
starting point for County and Municipal Officials, Nonprofit organizations and businesses to use in
identifying sources of assistance. The information in this matrix was developed through the Catalogue
of Federal Domestic Assistance.

Cost-Benefit Analysis
One of the important aspects to the LMS is the end product, which is a listing of projects a jurisdiction
wishes to get funded. The projects get funded through a variety of grants and opportunities. To receive
many of the mitigation grants a requirement includes being on the LMS list but also establishing a
“benefit” and “cost” analysis of the project that the jurisdiction wishes to complete.
The benefit-cost analysis can be completed with software provided by FEMA. The program considers
what future damages and losses are possible and the benefits are the reduction in expected damages.
The cost is the amount needed to implement an action that will support a greater benefit. Normally it is
not too hard to figure out the cost – especially if a new structure is being designed. The benefits are
harder because the severity of a storm and the probability may be opposite. For example a hurricane‟s
probability is low – but the severity is high. Some benefits to include in the analysis are damage to
buildings, damage to business operations, and displacement of inhabitants, rental loss, and nonprofit
function loss. Also make sure that the benefits are calculated for the life of the project and not just
directly after completion.
There is a lot of confusion about the benefits of mitigation. Obviously there are higher benefits for
mitigation to a building that is in the 10-year floodplain versus one that is in the 500-year floodplain.
Yet a low-occupancy building, receiving funding in a 10-year floodplain is also not as beneficial. So the
majority of the projects gain the most benefit points by suggesting mitigation for critical facilities
including hospitals, fire stations, assisted living facilities and schools. Also keep in mind that “cost
effective” is a big key to having a project funded. Each project then is scored against itself - there can
be no comparison because each project has a myriad of possibilities. Make each project count by
establishing a convincing cost-benefit analysis.
VIII-55
Incorporate the Requirements of the Mitigation Plan into Other Planning Mechanisms
1. Marion County‟s growth and development is guided by its comprehensive plan, land
development code and zoning regulations. Marion County can update the comprehensive plan
twice a year. But goes through a thorough rewrite every seven years, while the LMS may be
updated once a year but is reevaluated at least every five years.
2. Due to the nature of the comprehensive plan the LMS plan will be updated and implemented on
a more frequent basis than the local comprehensive plan. The projects listed in the LMS are
projects that the communities need in a timely manner. Many projects will be completed on a
time scale not related to the comprehensive plan‟s updates.
3. When the time arrives for an update to the comprehensive plan the LMS plan will be observed
for trends in capital improvement initiatives. The projects nominated that have not been
completed can be included in a general fashion in order to guide the capital improvements
element of the comprehensive plan.
4. Also, the comprehensive plan reviews issues such as impact fee and future land use.
Reviewing the LMS plan will provide the planners of Marion County with a tool that takes the
public, private, government and specifically emergency management and looks at what their
emergency management concerns are.
5. When making Changes in the Land Development Code (LDC) staff should refer and review
the LMS. At times, changes in the development codes could alleviate persistent problems,
creating less vulnerability to future structures.
6. Another plan that should look to the LMS to learn about problem areas and needed projects
includes The Water Resource Studies to evaluate the current condition of the water supply
and look at key flooding issues.
7. The underlying goal of the LMS in regards to local jurisdictions will be to educate and inform
the departments on the types of projects Marion County is considering to implement through
mitigation funding.
8. Due to the nature of the comprehensive plan the LMS plan will be updated and implemented on
a faster basis than the local comprehensive plan. The projects listed in the LMS are projects that
the communities need in a timely manner. Many projects will be completed on a time scale not
related to the comprehensive plan‟s updates.
9. When the time arrives for an update to the comprehensive plan the LMS plan will be
observed for trends in capital improvement initiatives. The projects nominated that have not
been completed can be included in a general fashion in order to guide the capital
improvements element of the comprehensive plan.
VIII-56
The current schedule for each of the communities in Marion County to complete their evaluation and
appraisal of the comprehensive plan is as follows:
MARION COUNTY 12/1/2009
BELLEVIEW 1/1/2011
DUNNELLON 2/1/2011
MCINTOSH 3/1/2011
OCALA 4/1/2011
REDDICK 5/1/2011
Also, the comprehensive plan reviews issues such as impact fee and future land use. Reviewing the
LMS plan will provide the planners of Marion County with a tool that takes the public, private,
government and specifically emergency management and looks at what their emergency management
concerns are.
Another plan that should look to the LMS to learn about problem areas and needed projects includes
The Water Resource Studies to evaluate the current condition of the water supply and look at key
flooding issues.
The underlying goal of the LMS in regards to local jurisdictions will be to educate and inform the
departments on the types of projects considered for implementation through mitigation funding.
Individual Action Items for Each Jurisdiction Requesting FEMA Approval of or Credit for the
Plan
For FEMA program funding these mitigation measures must be cost effective, environmentally sound
and technically feasible. The local jurisdiction and the state must prioritize the measures based on these
criteria. The Marion County Working Group covers several jurisdictions. The action items identified
were based on a county-wide approach to needed mitigation. Therefore each municipality is
responsible for the implementation of the actions they see are needed for their community. All of the
actions below will not be implemented by each of the municipalities in Marion County.
Actions that promote control of hazards
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Stormwater controls – Stormwater management plans through grants and fees.
Structures to lessen hazard impacts – Hurricane shutters are one of the most cost-effective
mitigation measures. All critical public facilities should be “hurricane hardened.” New
facilities should be built to current structural standards for withstanding hurricane winds.
Actions that protect public facilities and infrastructure
Adjust infrastructure location, design – Avoid building new public infrastructure that will
encourage growth in high hazard areas. Design new public infrastructure to withstand disasters.
Retrofit community facilities – Shutters, hurricane clips, roof retrofits, door braces.
Hazard-proof new community facilities – Assure proper elevation, backup generators, safeguard
computers and communications systems.
Site community facilities to maintain services – Site community facilities near trunk lines for
utilities and ensure that access road don‟t flood.

Actions that promote emergency preparedness and response
Preparedness plan/program – Increase communications system and warning procedures for all
disasters. Increase weather monitoring capabilities.
Emergency response plans – Continue ongoing efforts for planning, preparedness and training.
Focus on issues identified in needs assessments.
Evacuation plan/program – Begin with population/ housing analysis, possibly following the
2010 census. Perform transportation analysis using updated traffic counts and roadway
capacities.
Sheltering plans – Perform structural analysis of shelters and incorporate population analysis.
Programs and actions that promote financial assistance for local governments
Finance mitigation with grants – Attend grant writing workshops. Form strategies to “bundle”
several funding sources together.
Seek financial aid for local government planning – Incorporate hazard mitigation studies with
comprehensive planning activities (i.e. population analysis, transportation studies, development
trends etc.)
Develop planning and project revenue sources – For example: Earmark a portion of impact fee
assessments for mitigation activities.
Seek financial aid to local governments for retrofitting structures – Attend grant writing
workshops to stay current on new initiative at the federal and state levels.
Seek financial aid to local governments for acquisition – identify repetitive loss areas that better
fit the criteria for acquisition
Programs and actions that control new development
Building standards – Participate in and stay current regarding the development of a unified
Florida Building Code through the Building Code Study Commission.
Control type/arrangement of land – Integrate land use planning activities with hazard mitigation.
Design standards for new development – Address vulnerability of mobile homes and mobile
home parks.
Legal protection for natural mitigation features – Ensure protection of vegetation to reduce wind
vulnerability and prevent erosion. Protect the storage capacity of floodplains.
Setbacks or buffer zones – Review existing policies to assure effectiveness. Review applicability
of buffers to mitigate fire vulnerability.
Tax abatement for using mitigation.
Density transfer provision – Promote transfer of development rights and density clustering in
PUDs to protect the mitigation function of wetlands, and floodplains.
Future Meeting Dates
The meeting dates will be established at the end of each 5-year update cycle. For the 2009 updates the
meetings will be held on a quarterly schedule. In the upcoming years the Steering Committee will be
called together by the Chairman. If for some reason the Working Group establishes a new chair the
responsibility will be transferred accordingly. The steps below indicated the protocol for these biannual
meetings.
2005 - 2010
January – send out letter / email for meeting to evaluate document.
February – meeting
VIII-58
March – send out letter / email to discuss possible projects and receive NOI
forms
April - meeting
July – send out letter / email asking if there are any new projects jurisdictions would like to
include
October/November – send out letter / email ranking of projects for
updates. meeting
December – meeting
The meetings are to take place quarterly. This is to allow jurisdictions to initially look for changes in
their projects and community profiles. The second meeting is for the review of the past projects and the
review of the protocol for project nomination. The third meeting is for the nomination of new projects.
The fourth meeting is to rank the projects for updates, because it is important for projects to be included
in the LMS document in order to receive funding.
The jurisdictions to include in the invitation, but not limited to include – County departments: Planning,
DOT, Natural Resources, Forestry, Economic Development, Chamber of Commerce, Emergency
Management, and an Academic Representative.
At the meetings a copy of the LMS on CD should be available upon request. To get a better feel for the
changes that have occurred, a yearly survey could be conducted at each of the first yearly meetings,
asking for changes in each of the areas and projects previously added to the document. Keeping up with
yearly changes is very important in the struggle to get projects funded and creating a safer County to
live in.
On no less than a biannual basis, the following steps will be taken by the Working Group to accomplish
this procedure:
1. The Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will conduct the following tasks:
•
•
•
•
•
Consult with the Financial Issues Subcommittee to determine the current status of funding and
implementation of the priority mitigation initiatives as defined in the current edition of the LMS,
as well as to determine if any new federal, state, local or private sources for funding of
mitigation initiatives have become available to the Working Group, local government or key
elements of the private sector,
Review the records of the meetings of the Steering Committee and Working Group from the
preceding two year period to identify any Initiatives for new mitigation initiative,
Review the statutes of federal, state and local legislation related to hazard mitigation
programming promulgated during the preceding two-year period and identify any regulations,
requirements or guidelines pertinent to the Working Groups mission or the contents and format
of the LMS,
Request the Public Affairs Subcommittee to assess the implementation of the LMS to date, and
the types of modifications and/or enhancements that would likely be acceptable to the
community at large.
Prepare a written description of the status of each of the priority mitigation initiatives, new
legislation and/or new funding sources for mitigation initiatives, as well as comments on the
VIII-59
public acceptability of likely changes to the Strategy. Transmit the report to the chair of the
Steering Committee and each of the Working Group‟s then existing subcommittees.
2. Concurrently with Step 1, the Risk Assessment Subcommittee will accomplish the following tasks:
•
•
•
•
•
Review all post-event assessments of disasters and emergencies occurring in the intervening
two-year period to identify the effectiveness of any mitigation initiatives involved, as well as to
identify any new vulnerabilities or risks indicated by the events,
Research any new information regarding hazards threatening the County, the vulnerabilities to
those hazards, and the risks associated with the vulnerabilities,
Review the predicted effectiveness of any mitigation initiatives being initiated at the time of the
assessment, but not yet completed,
Prepare a written report regarding the results of the assessment, emphasizing the judged
effectiveness of the mitigation initiatives in place and defining any new risks to the community
becoming apparent during the preceding two-year period,
Provide the written report to the chair of the Working Group‟s Steering Committee and the lead
agency representative to each of the subcommittees.
3. Using the results of Steps 1 and 2, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will identify those
portions of the current edition of the LMS that necessitate expansion, enhancement or updating. The
lead agency representative will then identify to the chair of the Steering Committee the scope,
schedule and resources required to develop a revision of the LMS.
4. Upon instruction from the chair of the Steering Committee, and with the cooperation of the Working
Group‟s staff, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will prepare a draft of the updated Strategy
and circulate copies to all members of the Steering Committee.
5. The Steering Committee members will individually review the draft of the updated Strategy and
provide comments to the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee for consideration. Following a
reasonable time period for review, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will revise the draft as
needed, and submit it to the Steering Committee for review and release as a draft,
6. Pursuant to the procedure given above, the Steering Committee will take formal action to release the
draft of the updated LMS for public review. Upon an affirmative vote, the draft will be released
publicly for a request for comments, or, if not affirmed, the draft will be returned to the Mitigation
Planning Subcommittee for further revision.
7. The Public Affairs Subcommittee will review the Strategy for further revisions and legal notices
regarding the availability of the draft for review by the public. The subcommittee would take
additional steps to encourage all member of the Working Group to review the draft in detail prior to
the meeting in order to comment more effectively on the document.
8. The Steering Committee and Working Group‟s staff will prepare a public presentation summarizing
the findings and conclusions reached by the Working Group in the preceding steps, as well as
highlighting the proposed changes in the Strategy.
VIII-60
9. At the meeting of the Working Group, the presentation prepared in Step 8 would be given to the
members, and comments will be received and recorder for further consideration. The record of the
meeting will remain open for 15 days after the conclusion of the Working Group meeting in order to
receive further written comments.
10. As needed, following the close of the comment period, the Mitigation Planning Subcommittee will
modify the draft of the Strategy and submit a final edition to the Steering Committee for formal
adoption in accord with the procedures for such action given above.
Each year the plan should be evaluated. The main question that should be raised, is whether or not the
plan still reflects the character of the jurisdictions? The second question, have there been any rules or
regulations that have been adopted in the year, that would alter the effectiveness of the LMS
document? Finally the third question, are there any changes in the administrative process or
participation?
Continue Public Participation in the Ongoing Mitigation Planning Process
A major goal to be achieved in establishing the working group is to provide an ongoing forum for
cooperative efforts, information exchange and continuing consultation between the public and private
sectors of Marion County. As such, the presence of representatives of all local government jurisdiction
as well as key elements of the county‟s private sector on the steering committee and its subcommittees
are expected to provide for coordination of public and private sector mitigation initiatives.
With the availability of the internet, newspaper, public announcements and members of the steering
committee that are involved in many different groups, there is a plethora of public interactions to
promote the LMS. The public involvement that has the highest participation includes citizen groups
such as the American Red Cross and a variety of church organizations. These persons are allowed to
participate in all aspects of the working group meetings. Obviously the voting members of the steering
committee are the decision makers for furthering the project lists and amendments to the LMS, based on
the recommendations of the working group.
The availability of the plan for public comment will be located in the Chamber of Commerce as well as
on-line at the Marion County website in PDF format before final adoption. The contact for public
participation will be through the Marion County Planning Division as well as the director of
Emergency Management for Marion County. The contact information will include both telephone as
well as email address for both of the agencies. This will allow the public to reach an agency they feel
most comfortable in discussing the LMS.
The adoption of the plan will include each of the municipalities and the county. At each of these
meetings there is a request for public participation. Marion County and the participating municipalities
are responsible for the advertisement of these meetings.
Importance and Advantages of Public Participation
Public participation in the LMS process begins with education about the importance of hazard
mitigation. A diverse community of interests will benefit from hazard mitigation planning,
VIII-61
particularly when a local government‟s mitigation strategy address needs identified by a group that is
educated in emergency management issues. The Marion County LMS Working Group participated
in a hazard mitigation training session conducted by the Florida Department of Community Affairs
and was also given educational materials at the Working Group‟s monthly meetings.
Public involvement helps to guarantee that the public is knowledgeable of and has worked to establish
ownership of the strategy. The Marion County LMS Working Group meetings are noticed in all the
area newspapers and are open to the public. The meetings have been attended by area media
personnel giving publicity to the Strategy.
The handouts given to the members emphasize the importance of getting information to the public in
a timely manner, encouraging citizens to attend public meetings, and putting together wide ranging
outreach projects. The WG members were asked to make public presentations in their respective
communities and the Chamber of Commerce representatives were asked to do presentations to their
respective business communities.
Involving the public in the planning process succeeds if the right people are involved. The
involvement of the public helps support an effective program that better fits their needs as they are
able to provide more local knowledge of historical flooding. Involving the public in the process
helps them to become invested in the outcome.
Updating and Revising the LMS
The LMS will be reviewed annually, or as circumstances dictate, by the LMS Working Group. The
appropriate membership of the committee to include County, agency, municipal and private business
representatives will review the Strategy; amending their responsibilities under the Strategy; updating the
Hazard Identification / Vulnerability Assessment and Mitigation Initiatives by modifying procedures,
maintaining current data and/or adding new projects and deleting completed projects.
Proposed amendments to the LMS that are approved by the Working Group shall be submitted to the
Marion County Emergency Management Director for presentation to the Marion County Board of
County Commissioners for public comment and final adoption.
Nominating and Ranking Projects and Initiatives
The first step toward developing the required single, prioritized list of mitigation initiatives is to
establish and educate the Working Group. The initial core Working Group members were the County
and municipal representatives as appointed by their respective jurisdictions. At their first formal
meeting the Working Group initiated more participation from the private sector, as directed in the
“Guidebook,” by inviting the local Chambers of Commerce to participate in the LMS process.
Subsequently members from the Bronson, Cedar Key and Williston Chambers were welcomed into the
Working Group. Once formed the Working Group adopted a representative membership for voting on
issues brought before the group. The current Working Group roster is included at the end of Chapter II.
Education of the group is and will remain an ongoing process. The Working Group found that the
most useful information for the LMS process pertained to mitigation grants and the competitive grant
VIII-62
process. Also of great interest were the maps generated for structural damage and storm surge. The
most valuable information given by the working group were examples of the effects of previous
flooding or storm events. These were used as a measure of vulnerability.
Before projects were submitted, a system for evaluating and ranking the projects had to be set into
place. The adoption of criteria to rank mitigation projects featured lengthy discussion through the course
of several Working Group meetings. Once a matrix for scoring projects was agreed upon by the
working group, projects could be nominated for scoring in the prioritization process. A separate scoring
process was also adopted to evaluate the vulnerability issues of each project. A vulnerability matrix
was developed and adopted over several meetings with much discussion as a part of the Vulnerability
Assessment. The Working Group directed staff to score the Vulnerability Index and combine it with the
score from the Project Ranking Worksheet once complete.
It was agreed that each jurisdiction would first list and prioritize their own projects using their own
criteria. However, it was recommended that the adopted LMS Working Group criteria be used. Second,
each jurisdiction would nominate its top three projects for formal ranking. To nominate a project the
“Project Nomination Worksheet” is used to provide information about the proposed project in regards to
each of the ranking criteria.
The ranking process is begun by distributing the Project Nomination Sheet and the Project Ranking
Worksheet for one project to each voting member. Each voting member fills in the appropriate score
for each of the ranking criteria. This process takes place for each project that is nominated. After all the
projects are ranked the total score from each voting member is then averaged to form a preliminary
score. The score from the Vulnerability Index is then combined with the preliminary score to create a
final score.
After the projects were scored and ranked the Working Group created priority groups for
implementation.
Adoption and Implementation of the LMS
The Florida Department of Community Affairs / Division of Emergency Management have contracted
with each County in the State to develop this LMS. This is an all-county document as is the
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). It is expected that the administration and
update of future editions of this LMS will fall under the responsibility of the Marion County Emergency
Management Department. In light of this expectation, the Working Group has directed that the local
process to adopt the LMS be the same as the local process to adopt the CEMP.
Implementation of the LMS will be done by each of the local governments in Marion County or by
other entities that may identify funding for projects listed in this LMS or future editions of the LMS. As
with all plans, studies and strategy documents the final goal is implementation. The timing of
implementation a factor that is dependent on funding mechanisms and a timeline for implementation
cannot be established. However, it is clear that those initiatives with life-safety implications or
initiatives that will eliminate losses should be implemented first. The methods for implementation are
important, but stand as a secondary goal. It is the intent of this strategy to keep all windows of funding
opportunity open and open them further if possible.

Steering Committee Members present were: Joe Campfield, Chair, Chip Wildy Vice-Chair, and
Paul Nevels. LMS Participants present were: Robert Johnson, Steve Rogers, William Zace,
Amy Velez, and David Cooper. Other staff present included: Chris Rison, Senior Planner and
Andrew Persons, Planner I.
Mr. Rison began the meeting with some brief comments from the Planning Division explaining
that the purpose of the meeting was to review any new or revised project submissions to the
LMS Project List and to provide the Steering Committee and Participants with an overview of
the general 5-year LMS update and its draft proposed changes. Mr. Rison explained there were
no new or revised project submissions for the 2009 calendar year; however, LMS members are
able to submit new project applications throughout the year. Additionally, any completed
projects that need to be removed from the project list can be sent via email to Mr. Rison for
updating the Project List.
Mr. Rison provided a short timeline of the LMS development including the initial document
completed in 1999, the 2004 update completed by the Withlacoochee Regional Planning
Council, and the most recent 2009 update completed by the Marion County Planning Division.
Mr. Rison explained that a draft document of the 2009 LMS update has been provided to those
Steering Committee members present and copies will be mailed to those members not in
attendance in order to solicit comments and identify any necessary revisions. Mr. Rison
continued by discussing the general contents and formatting of the draft update. Mr. Rison turned
the meeting over to Mr. Persons to discuss the proposed changes in more detail.
Mr. Persons explained that the bulk of the 2009 update centered on updating hazard data and loss
projections including utilizing the new HAZUS MH software developed by FEMA for the LMS.
Mr. Persons provided a brief discussion of each chapter and the proposed changes contained in
the draft update for the Steering Committee members.
Mr. Rison explained that copies of the LMS update will be sent to the members not present.
Additionally, Mr. Rison noted that due to the LMS update schedule, staff proposes to send the
LMS update on to FDEM for its review. Comments received from the Steering Committee and
FDEM will be combined and addressed by late February for final scheduling and adoption in
April. On motion by Chip Wildy, second by Paul Nevels, the consensus of the Steering
Committee was to agree with sending the LMS update to FDEM.
The Steering Committee discussed the timing of the 2010 LMS update meetings and minor
revisions to the LMS Working Group roster and the 2009 Project List. The Steering Committee
IX-2
discussed the possibility of developing some method of purging the project list of inactive and/or
old projects after a certain date. Staff indicated the purging process could be an item further
addressed by the LMS update prior to its final adoption. Staff would outline options for the
Steering Committee’s consideration with the next meeting.
There being no further business, Chair Joe Campfield entertained a motion to adjourn. Provided
by Chip Wildy and seconded by Paul Nevels, the meeting was adjourned.

Steering Committee Members present were:
Joe Campfield, Chair, Robert Johnson, Paul
Nevels, Judy Johnson, and Marya Latson, Other staff present included: Chris Rison, Senior
Planner and Andrew Persons, Senior Planner.
Mr. Persons began the meeting with some brief comments from the Planning Division explaining
that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss changes to the LMS draft document received from
the public and members of the Working Group and to provide a draft proposal of changes to the
project scoring criteria in the LMS and to discuss changes in procedures related to the mitigation
action list maintenance.
Mr. Persons briefly described the types of changes to the LMS draft received by Staff. The
changes mostly consisted of changes to the project list, membership list, and typographical
errors. Mr. Persons discussed in more depth the more substantive changes proposed by Marya
Latson and which changes Staff had already incorporated. Ms. Latson discussed some of her
reasoning for proposing several of her changes most notably addressing the risk of nuclear
fallout related to the potential Levy nuclear power plant. The Committee approved the changes
as presented.
Mr. Persons presented Staff’s recommendations for amending the project scoring criteria. The
changes in criteria were made in response to changes in the County population numbers. Projects
would now need to meet population needs for the County’s 2010 population. The Committee
selected the percentage figures for Option 1 for the Total Population Benefitted and Option 3 for
the Health and Safety Considerations.
Mr. Persons presented Staff’s recommendations for maintaining the mitigation action project list
specifically, addressing projects older than 5-10 years which have not had any action taken to
update the application or made a grant proposal. The Committee discussed whether to keep
projects on the list between 5-10 years old. The Committee agreed to include a notice in the
annual project list request informing the Working Group of projects to be removed and then
remove the mitigation action items older than 5 years from the list to be conducted on an annual
basis.
Mr. Persons asked the Committee if there was a desire to amend the Working Group meeting
procedures to reduce the number of meetings required annually. The Committee felt comfortable
with the current quarterly schedule as is in the LMS Plan.
Mr. Rison discussed the possibility of Planning Staff scoring the annual project list in lieu of the
Steering Committee deliberating. The Committee would be provided with the prioritized list and
IX-5
could discuss any disputed projects at the meeting. Mr. Campfield argued that allowing all of the
Committee to score projects separately resulted in differences in scoring based on personal
experiences which he supported. Ms. Latson and Ms. Johnson supported Mr. Campfield’s
comments. The Committee indicated their preference for the current procedure for scoring
projects.
Mr. Campfield discussed the possibility of a rotating chair for the LMS Committee. The
Committee members present expressed their desire for Mr. Campfield to remain chair.
The Committee reviewed the minutes from 12/22/09 and approved them as presented.
The Committee had a general discussion about LMS Working Group membership and meeting
attendance.
by Paul Nevels and seconded by Judy Johnson, the meeting was adjourned.

Mr. Rison began the meeting with some brief comments from the Planning Division explaining
that the purpose of the meeting was to briefly review the comments received from FDEM
regarding the initial draft of the LMS plan and to recap the changes made to the scoring criteria
and procedures reviewed at the previous meeting.
The Committee reviewed the minutes from 01/26/10 and approved them as presented.
Mr. Rison reviewed the changes Staff made to the LMS project scoring criteria to reflect changes
in population in the County since the 1999 iteration of the LMS. Mr. Rison continued by
reviewing the revised procedures for maintaining the Mitigation Action Project List, which
entailed “sunsetting” projects which had remained on the list for 5 years without any action.
Mr. Rison discussed the potential need for gathering additional information (data, terminology,
narrative) from the Working Group members regarding the comments provided by FDEM. Mr.
Rison reviewed the format of the LMS Crosswalk used by FDEM to review the LMS
submission. Mr. Persons discussed how Staff used the Local Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning
Guidance document provided by FEMA to guide LMS creation to respond to the FDEM
comments.
Mr. Persons and Mr. Rison reviewed each section of the FDEM comments and provided an
explanation of how changes will be made to address the deficiencies. Mr. Persons explained that
Staff is in the process of making changes based on the comments received. The Steering
Committee members present indicated their preference for accessing the revised LMS document
via the County’s website in lieu of a hard copy.

Local Mitigation Strategy Committee Meeting
July 1st, 2010
Minutes
Management Department Training Room at 2710 E. Silver Springs Blvd, Ocala, FL. The
meeting was called to order at 2:10 pm by Joe Campfield, Chairman.
Steering Committee members present were: Joe Campfield, Chair, Chip Wilde, Vice Chair,
Dennis Lawson, and Judy Johnson. Other staff present were Chris Rison, Senior Planner,
Andrew Persons, Senior Planner and Jacquelyn Grady, Staff Assistant II.
A motion to approve the minutes from March 26th, 2010 was unanimously passed.
Mr. Persons began the meeting by stating that the purpose of this meeting was to review the
changes to the LMS from the Florida Department of Emergency Management’s (FDEM)
comments. The changes to the LMS included the following categories:
1.
Multi-jurisdiction planning participation: FDEM requested clarification that the
jurisdictions participating in the 2004 LMS are continuing participants in the 2009 Plan.
2.
Documentation of planning process: FDEM requested that documentation of steps used
to update the 2004 LMS be included in the present LMS. They also requested that the
public participation used in this process be documented. Finally, they requested that the
processes used to review and analyze each section of the plan be identified.
3. Identifying hazards: Although the 2004 LMS included some hazard descriptions, the
FDEM would like to see a more descriptive narrative regarding hazards such as flooding,
wildfire, sinkholes, drought, extreme heat, tornadoes and winter storms/freezes.
4. Profiling hazards: FDEM requested that tsunamis and earthquakes be removed from the
LMS due to the low probability of those events happening in Marion County. They
requested that scientific scales be incorporated in the descriptions of the above listed
hazards, which would include past rates of occurrences and the probability of future
events.
5. Assessing Vulnerability: Include additional information regarding the types of structures
most likely to be impacted by floods and sinkholes. Remove any references to areas
outside of Marion County.
6. Assessing repetitive loss: Remove parcel IDs in regards to the repetitive loss structures.
7. Local hazard mitigation goals: FDEM requested that additional goals be added that
address all of the hazards using a more comprehensive approach than the goals currently
listed in the 2004 plan.
IX-10
8. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) compliance: the NFIP requirements have been
adjusted to reflect the latest FEMA report regarding the 100 year flood plain. FDEM has
requested that a list be added to the LMS showing how we have ensured our compliance.
9. Implementation and multi-jurisdictional mitigation actions: The LMS has been revised to
clarify which agency is responsible for each project. Three columns were added to the
LMS – “Hazards Affected”, “Jurisdictions Impacted” and “Completion Timeline”.
10. Monitoring, evaluation and updating the plan: clarified the process for future updates,
ensuring that the LMS be reviewed annually by LMS staff and reviewed every five years
by independent agencies.
11. Incorporation into existing planning mechanisms: included examples of how
information from the LMS has been incorporated into planning documents with Marion
County.
Miss Johnson stated that project deadlines are ball park estimates and are dependent upon when
grants are received. Mr. Persons added that those deadlines can be extended if necessary. In
general, any project over five years old are considered obsolete and will be removed from the
project list. However, agencies can re-apply for a continuance of older projects if necessary.
The LMS members voted unanimously to approve the above stated changes to the LMS.
Mr. Rison reviewed the process for approval/adoption of the current LMS. First, it is reviewed
by the FDEM. Once approved, FEMA then reviews it and grants Marion County a “Conditional
Approval” status, contingent upon local adoptions by city and county commissioners. Once a
conditional approval status is obtained, Marion County will then be able to receive grants.
Staff will continue to post updates and information on the website. In July the Planning staff will
be concentrating on updating the Comprehensive Plan. However in August they will be
available to review 2010 project applications.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:40 pm.
