Earthquake #3 Proposed Action Item: Alignment with Plan Goals: Goal 2 Conduct benefit-cost analyses contingent upon funding for retrofit projects of important public facilities, including utility systems, bridges and dams and special hazard private facilities such as bulk fuel storage and hazmat facilities Rationale for Proposed Action Item: Conducting a benefit-cost analysis is the first step toward FEMA-funding of mitigation projects and can help determine whether a project is financially beneficial to implement. However, these analyses are often costly and can only be conducted if funding is present. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires communities to identify actions and projects that reduce the effects of hazards on the community, particularly to buildings and infrastructure [201.6(c)(3)(ii)]. Identifying critical and essential facilities for seismic retrofit will help to identify major seismic issues and appropriate mitigation actions to protect critical and essential facilities Ideas for Implementation: Address the two city hall’s seismic vulnerability Consult with the jurisdiction’s Capital Improvement Plans to determine which facilities will be replaced relatively soon and which will be in service for the foreseeable future. Determine possible vendors capable of conducting seismic benefit-cost analyses.
