When a home or apartment unit is certified as a Blue Built Home, residents will use water efficiently and the owners will lower their water bill. A new homeowner can save water and reduce water costs by as much as 60 per cent without making any compromises in day-to-day life. Existing homes could save even more depending on the water fixtures in the home. Existing apartments can save more than 20 per cent of the water used per unit by replacing inefficient fixtures and appliances. The amount of water saved will depend on the fixtures and appliances currently used.Owners of newly-built or existing single-family homes receive a one-time rebate up to $2,465 once the home is Blue Built Home certified. Existing multi-residential buildings receive a rebate of up to $415 per unit once units meet Blue Built Home requirements.Finance securedLocalhttps://guelph.ca/living/environment/water/water-conservation/blue-built-home/1317942016{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[80.25, 43.55]}2019-10-16T18:33:19.143

It is recognised that the risk to the town will get worse as climate change is predicted to increase maximum flood flows over time. The risk comes not just from the River Tone, but also from 3 other tributaries that flow into the town centre. The strategic solution is required to protect existing property in the town and to allow the town to develop safely. Previous studies including Phase 1 of the Scheme have pointed towards the need for a combination of (i) improved flood defence walls in the town and (ii) an area for storing flood water upstream, to provide capacity for the long term (100 years). This work formed the basis of Phase 2 of the Scheme.Work completed to date on Phase 2 included surveys, ground investigations, initial engagement with landowners, computer modelling, initial environmental surveys and concept designs. This work has shown the major engineering work that would be required, both in the town and in the flood storage area upstream, to provide the desired level of protection for the next 100 years. If the major components of flood defence were constructed at the same time the capital cost would be in the order of £50M+. The largest component, a new flood storage area and its dam, would also require a new ongoing maintenance commitment. It is therefore recognised that the capital cost of this overall strategic scheme is unlikely to be found in the short term.The Phase 2 works to date identified a number of local intervention options that could provide a useful increase in flood capacity pending the longer term delivery of the larger flood risk reductions flood water storage upstream. In July 2018 Taunton Deane Borough Council (now part of SWT) and the EA agreed a revised scope with the supplier for taking forward a Project Delivery Plan to include these local intervention options.The intention is that the local interventions will be complimentary to the larger strategic scheme (upstream storage and flood walls) and are ‘quick wins’ which can be delivered in the short term to buy the town additional years protection whilst work continues on the longer term strategy and funding is hopefully secured for its delivery. The Project Delivery Plan technical report is expected to be finalised this Summer, which will describe a suite of measures incorporating a combination of flood defences and storage. It will include information on: • Recommended order of delivery of the components;• Recommended timing of delivery or “triggers” for delivery (short, medium or long term);• The benefits of the components, individually and together;• Estimated costs and possible funding sources;• Potential alignment with other programmes/development;• Authority best placed to deliver each component.A key part of the work will be to seek to produce solutions that minimise any adverse impact upon third party land.The final report will draw out if there is a flood risk change downstream of the M5.The aim is to have final draft documents by summer 2019 for targeted discussions with key stakeholders that will then allow an agreed approach by autumn 2019. This will be reported to the new SWT Full Council in Winter 2019 for them to consider how they wish to proceed forward.15386620182019-10-16T18:33:19.143

The map depicts low-lying area that fall within riverine floodplains designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The floodplains indicate the extent of potential flooding under a 100-year and 500-year storm event. With precipitation events projected to increase in intensity as a result of climate change, riverine and storm water flooding may increase. The FEMA floodplains are indicative of areas that may be at risk to increased exposure to precipitation based flooding in the future.http://longbeach.gov/globalassets/lbds/media-library/documents/caap/caap-open-house-vulnerability-maps-06022018_kw1-reduced4701302017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-118.194, 33.7701]}2019-10-16T18:33:19.143

We talk of potentially damaging floods when water levels in streets, for example, reach 10 cm. It would be disproportionately expensive to implement adoptive measures in the city against events with return periods of more than 100 years when compared to the costs of the ensuing damage. Please note that the timescale for the implementation for cloud burst measures is estimated to 20 years, however the final implementation plan regarding all the planned cloud burst projects was adopted by november 2015. Action description The final implementation plan regarding all the planned cloud burst projects was adopted by november 2015. With a time frame of around 20 years before the Cloudburst Management Plan is fully implemented, it will be necessary to set a number of measures in motion in different water catchment areas simultaneously. This is not to say, however, that the adaptive action must be completed in one area before initiating activities elsewhere. The coordination of the pluvial flooding projects with ongoing urban development projects all over the city will mean that activities will be underway at several sites simultaneously, in any case. Finally, it might be necessary to deviate totally from the ranking order as work must be continuously coordinated with road renovation work, for example6024812017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[12.5683, 55.6761]}2019-10-16T18:33:19.143

This system (sometimes referred to as Reverse 911(c)) provides critical information quickly in a variety of situations, such as emergencies, unexpected road closures, missing persons, special event impacts and evacuations of buildings or neighborhoods. Individuals sign up to receive emergency alerts, directly to their phones and/or email. Timescale: On-going, Park City contributes $6,000 per yearCurrent Status of Implementation: OperationalBarriers to Implementation: Community members must opt in and register themselvesCollaborators: Summit CountyProjected Impact on Hazard: The alert system would be a critical tool to notify the public if there is a need to evacuate during a wildfire. The alert system would increase the amount of time residents have between when they learn about the evacuation order and when they must leave. This will contributes to a safer, more effective evacuation.Cost: Yearly cost reported. The Emergency Management Notification System covers many hazards (eg. severe winds). The yearly cost is covers all hazards.Finance secured250006000(Sub)nationalhttps://member.everbridge.net/index/453003085613422#/login83762016{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-111.498, 40.6461]}2019-10-16T18:33:19.143

The Division of Water maintains and annually updates Emergency Action Plans (EAP) for four Class I dams and a number of class II dams. These EAPs include the O’Shaughnessy Dam, the Hoover Dam, Griggs Dam, and the John Doutt Upground Reservoir north of Columbus. A table-top or scenario discussion exercise is held each year for at least one of these dams, with a functional exercise held for the O’Shaughnessy dam every five years with responding partners. The Division of Water also maintains and annually exercises the Emergency Response Plan that includes each of the three water plants. This plan addresses 26 hazards, including severe weather, flooding, hazardous spills to the environment, and loss of power. Mitigation efforts to ensure back-up power is available for each of the water plants, and portable generators are available for the pumping stations. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage maintains and annually updates the Franklinton Floodwall Emergency Action Plan. This floodwall runs seven miles along the western edge of the Scioto River to mitigate flooding in the Franklinton area. During a flooding event, the closure of a number of sluice gates, stop log gates, sandbag gates and a roller gate are necessary to protect the area west of the river. Approximately 200 people are needed to ensure the entire plan is activated during a great flood. Depending on the river level, only a few gates may need to be installed. Three gates are exercised annually and include a number of local partners to address traffic, sandbag transportation, volunteers, etc. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage also maintains wastewater treatment plant specific emergency action plans that include a number of hazard scenarios specific to each site, including severe weather, flooding, drought and hazardous waste released to the environment. These plans are updated and exercised annually. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage also maintains and annually updates seven sewer and storm water Low head dam emergency action plans. These dams within the sewer infrastructure cross various waterways. The Overflow Emergency Response and Notification Plan addressing the overflow of sanitary sewage is also updated annually, along with numerous site specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans and Hazardous Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plans. The Division of Power maintains and annually updates an Emergency Response Plan that involves loss of power to portions of the city or loss of substations. The annual exercises or scenario discussions almost always include severe weather hazards. Each of the DPU sites located around the city, housing almost 1,200 staff members, include a site-specific Emergency Action Plan developed by the DPU Safety Office. These plans include, but are not limited to, tornado, severe storms, fire and earthquake drills. Columbus DPU is a member of Ohio Water/Wastewater Response Network and is requested to assist other local utilities around the state during emergencies. DPU uses a contractor to assist with infrastructure vulnerability assessments, both physical and cyber, along with emergency preparedness planning. annual budget for this contractor is approximately $250,000. The Emergency Preparedness office has an annual budget of $250,000.Finance secured500000500000Local8925332019{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-82.9988, 39.9612]}2019-10-16T18:33:19.143
