Flood # 5 Proposed Action Item: Alignment with Plan Goals: Goal 2, 3, 4, 5 Maintain and update the inventory of locations in the Eugene/Springfield Metro Area subject to frequent storm water flooding. Rationale for Proposed Action Item: The cities of Eugene and Springfield have each developed an inventory of locations in the Eugene/Springfield Metro Area that are subject to frequent storm water flooding. Developing an inventory is a goal in Springfield’s 2008 Storm Water Management Plan, and an inventory has also been developed for the city of Eugene. Maintaining and updating the inventory of locations subject to frequent storm water flooding will ensure that the responsible departments remain aware of areas with flooding problems and develop priority projects. Developing an inventory can also help a community to track progress in mitigating storm water flooding in the community. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires communities to identify actions and projects that address new and existing buildings and infrastructure [201.6(c)(3)(ii)]. Maintaining and updating the inventory of locations in the Eugene/Springfield Metro Area subject to frequent storm water flooding will reduce the impact of floods on the storm water infrastructure and potential damage to new and existing buildings. Ideas for Implementation: Use the inventory to track progress for implementing mitigation actions. Once a year, review the inventory and update as necessary with any new changes Evaluate if this inventory can be visually represented via GIS.
