This book was released on 2019 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is the conclusion of an almost 18-month long process of producing a draft Comprehensive Plan update for the City of Westport, Washington. The key focus of the Comprehensive Plan update was to integrate hazard mitigation and resiliency strategies into the Plan to help plan for a more resilient future for the City. The process of the Comprehensive Plan update included several engagement activities with both the City of Westport staff and the public to assist in developing recommendations for this update. The primary purpose of these engagement activities is to solicit information from the community in an asset-based approach to better understand the assets and values that are of importance to the community and how to protect and enhance these against natural hazards. Although this is an individual thesis project the actual drafting of the Comprehensive Plan update was a collaborative effort between myself and my thesis committee, and was supported by Kevin Goodrich, the Public Works Director for the City of Westport. There has also been significant input from the University of Washington studio team of students and teachers who worked together with the City of Westport and project partners to develop a report with draft recommendations for the Comprehensive Plan update in autumn 2018.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managers succeed and fail by how well they follow the following fundamental principles of emergency management:mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. Purposefully, our emergency management forefathers put the word mitigation first as a means to prevent or minimize the effects of disasters.Mitigation is commonly defined as sustained actions taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards and their effects. Hazard itigation focuses attention and resources on community policies and actions that will produce successive benefits over time. A mitigation plan states the aspirations and specific courses of action that a community intends to follow to reduce vulnerability and exposure to future hazard events. These plans are formulated through a systematic process centered on the participation of citizens, businesses, public officials, and other community stakeholders.Mitigation forms, or should form, the very foundation of every emergency management agency. For the prevention of disasters in communities, emergency management agencies that adopt mitigation practices in an effort to reduce, minimize, or eliminate hazards in their community have found, the vision for the future of emergency management. The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 has set the benchmark and outlines the criteria for communities with the vision to implement hazard mitigation practices in their communities.Cherokee County and its municipalities realize the benefits achieved by the development and implementation of litigation plans and strategies in our community. Cherokee County elected officials, public safety organizations, planners, and many others have proved that by working together towards the development and implementation of this plan, have the vision to implement mitigation practices therefore reducing the loss of life and property in their communities. The areas covered by this plan include: Cherokee County, City of Canton, City of Woodstock, City of Ball Ground, City of Holly Springs, City of Nelson, City of Waleska --Preface.
