Executive Summary We cannot control when or where a tornado or other natural hazard will strike, but we can save lives and reduce property damage by understanding the risks and taking action to address those risks. In the process, we can increase resilience in our community, environment, and economy. Participating jurisdictions in the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HazMAP) are dedicated to the protection of local citizens and their property, and to the improvement of the quality of life for all residents. Mitigation has been defined as “sustained action to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property from natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.”1 It is fundamentally a loss-prevention function characterized by planned, long-term alteration of the built environment to ensure resilience against natural and human-caused hazards. This loss-prevention function has been illustrated by the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Council study of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mitigation projects, which shows that for every dollar invested in mitigation, six dollars of disaster losses were avoided.2 Mitigation should form the foundation of every emergency management agency’s plans and procedures. Emergency management agencies should adopt mitigation practices to reduce, minimize, or eliminate hazards in their community. The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan identifies the hazards faced by participating jurisdictions, vulnerabilities to these hazards, and mitigation strategies for the future. The plan fulfills the requirements of the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act as administered by the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). 1 State of Texas Mitigation Handbook, page 1-1. 2 Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves: 2017 Interim Report, page 1. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ŝ The planning area for this plan is for Tarrant County, Texas (m arked in red on the Texas map) and includes the following jurisdictions: ¾City of Arlington ¾City of Azle ¾City of Bedford ¾City of Blue Mound ¾City of Colleyville ¾City of Crowley ¾City of Dalworthington Gardens* ¾Town of Edgecliff Village* ¾City of Euless ¾City of Everman* ¾City of Forest Hill ¾City of Fort Worth ¾City of Grapevine ¾City of Haltom City ¾City of Haslet ¾City of Hurst ¾City of Keller ¾City of Kennedale ¾City of Lake Worth ¾Town of Lakeside ¾City of Mansfield* ¾North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) ¾City of North Richland Hills ¾Town of Pantego* ¾City of Richland Hills ¾City of River Oaks* ¾City of Saginaw ¾City of Southlake ¾Unincorporated Tarrant County ¾University of North Texas Health and Science Center* ¾City of Watauga ¾Town of Westlake ¾City of Westworth Village *Jurisdictions that did not participate in the 2015 Tarrant County HazMAP. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ŝŝ The following map shows the locations of all participating jurisdictions except the unincorporated areas of the county. A map of these areas can be found in the Unincorporated Tarrant County annex. This HazMAP is the result of two years of study, data collection, analysis, and community feedback. Representatives and citizens from participating jurisdictions attended public meetings to discuss the hazards their communities face and the vulnerabilities those hazards present. Representatives from each participating jurisdiction reviewed drafts of the HazMAP and added input to the mitigation strategies presented in the plan. Tarrant County citizens were also active participants in the development of the plan. Citizens attended public meetings that were advertised online, on bulletin boards, and in newsletters to share their concerns about hazards faced in the community and how to mitigate the effects of these hazards. All participants involved in this plan understand the benefits of developing and implementing mitigation plans and strategies. Elected officials, public safety organizations, planners, and many others have worked together to develop and implement this HazMAP, displaying that they have the vision to implement mitigation practices and therefore reduce the loss of life and property in their communities.

The Disaster Mitigation Act provides federal assistance to state and local emergency management entities to mitigate the effects of disasters. The HazMAP also encourages cooperation among various organizations across political subdivisions. The 20ϮϬ HazMAP is an update of the 2015 FEMA-approved HazMAP. The title was changed from the Local Mitigation Action Plan to Hazard Mitigation Action Plan to clearly specify the intent of the document. With each update, new challenges are identified, new strategies proposed, and when incorporated, the updated plan grows in complexity, but not necessarily in utility. The content in this plan update is designed and organized to be as reader-friendly and functional as possible. The structure and format of this plan has significantly changed from the initial mitigation plan adopted in 2015; however, the quality of information has been maintained. This update fulfills the requirements of the DMA 2000. The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) reviewed the evolution of its planning processes throughout the previous three years. The following plan is the result of that effort. The information provided in Section 3 reflects the impact of the hazards on all of Tarrant County, not solely the participating jurisdictions. The results of the vulnerability analysis and risk assessment, including historical events, are documented in the individual annexes for participating jurisdictions. The historical events documented in Section 3 reflect the events that impacted the entire county, not solely the unincorporated areas of the county. Reference to Tarrant County in Section 3 refers to the county as a whole and not solely unincorporated Tarrant County. 1.2 Authority The purpose of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, is “to reduce the loss of life and property, human suffering, economic disruption, and disaster assistance costs resulting from natural disasters.” Section 322 of the act specifically addresses mitigation planning and requires state and local governments to prepare multi-hazard mitigation plans as a precondition for receiving FEMA mitigation grants. Understanding that identifying the risks within the community and working collectively toward the prevention of is vital, NCTCOG has taken the lead role in the development of the Tarrant County HazMAP. 1.3 Scope The scope of the Tarrant County HazMAP encompasses all participating entities in Tarrant County, as noted in the Executive Summary. This plan identifies natural and, for some jurisdictions, technological hazards that could threaten life and property in the communities. Assessing technological hazards is not a requirement for this hazard mitigation action plan, but select jurisdictions have included these hazards dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϭ in this plan. The scope of this plan includes both short and long-term mitigation strategies, implementation, strategies, and possible sources of project funding to mitigate identified hazards. 1.4 Purpose This HazMAP is intended to enhance and complement federal and state recommendations for the mitigation of natural and technological hazards in the following ways: Substantially reduce the risk of loss of life, injuries, and hardship from the destruction of natural and technological disasters. Improve public awareness of the need for individual preparedness and building safer, more disaster resilient communities. Develop strategies for long-term community sustainability during community disasters. Develop governmental and business continuity plans that will continue essential private sector and governmental operations during disasters. Tarrant County is susceptible to a number of different natural hazards that have potential to cause property loss, loss of life, economic hardship, and threats to public health and safety. Occurrence of natural disasters cannot be prevented; however, their impact on people and property can be lessened through hazard mitigation measures. Mitigation planning is imperative to lessen the impact of disasters in Tarrant County. This plan is an excellent method by which to organize Tarrant County’s mitigation strategies. The implementation of the plan and its components is vital to preparing a community that is resilient to the effects of a disaster. The implementation of this HazMAP can reduce loss of life and property and allow the participating communities to operate with minimal disruption of vital services to citizens. This HazMAP provides a risk assessment of the hazards Tarrant County is exposed to and puts forth several mitigation goals and objectives that are based on that risk assessment. This Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan was developed by the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT). The plan represents collective efforts of citizens, elected and appointed government officials, business leaders, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders. This plan, and updating the plan, and timely future updates of this plan, will allow Tarrant County and participating jurisdictions to comply with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and its implementation regulations, 44 CFR Part 201.6, thus resulting in eligibility to apply for federal aid for technical assistance and post-disaster hazard mitigation project funding. The update will also prioritize potential risks and vulnerabilities in an effort to minimize the effects of disasters in the participating communities. 1.5 Mitigation Goals The goals are to protect life and reduce bodily harm from natural hazards, and to lessen the impacts of natural hazards on property and the community through hazard mitigation. These goals are the basis of this plan and summarize what the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team will accomplish by implementing this plan. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ Ϯ 1.6 Plan Organization The 20ϮϬ Tarrant County HazMAP is organized into seven sections which satisfy the mitigation requirements in 44 CFR Part 201.6, with two appendices providing the required supporting documentation. 1.

Appendix B: Supporting Documentation dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϯ 1.7 Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Strategy Maintenance Process The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team, consisting of a representative from each participating jurisdiction, will continue to collaborate as a planning group in coordination with the North Central Texas Council of Governments Emergency Preparedness Department. Primary contact will be through emails and conference calls, with strategy meetings to occur at least annually. The points of contact for the county, jurisdictions, and NCTCOG will jointly lead the plan maintenance and update process by: Assisting jurisdictional Local Planning Teams in updating their individual contributions to the county Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. Assisting interested Local Planning Teams that would like to begin their mitigation planning process. Facilitating Tarrant County HazMAP meetings and disseminating information. Collaborating data for the county-wide sections. Requesting updates and status reports on planning mechanisms. Requesting updates and status reports on mitigation action projects. Assisting jurisdictions with mitigation grants. Assisting jurisdictions with implementing mitigation goals and action projects. Providing mitigation training opportunities. Maintaining documentation of local adoption resolutions for the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. 1.8 Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan Adoption Once the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan has received FEMA “Approved Pending Local Adoption” each participating jurisdiction will take the Tarrant County HazMAP to their Commissioners Court or city councils for final public comment and local adopt ion. A copy of the resolution will be inserted into the Tarrant County HazMAP and held on file at the North Central Texas Council of Governments. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϰ Section 2:Planning Process Requirement §201.6(b) An open public involvement process is essential to the development of an effective plan. In order to develop a more comprehensive approach to reducing the effects of natural disasters, the planning process shall include: §201.6(b)(1)An opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval; §201.6(b)(2) An opportunity for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities, and agencies that have the authority to regulate development, as well as businesses, academia and other private and non-profit interests to be involved in the planning process; and §201.6(b)(3)Review and incorporation, if appropriate, of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information. §201.6(c)(1) [The plan shall document] the planning process used to develop the plan, including how it was prepared, who was involved in the process, and how the public was involved. §201.6(c)(4)(i)[The plan maintenance process shall include a] section describing the method and schedule of monitoring, evaluating, and updating the mitigation plan within a five-year cycle 2.1 Collaborative Process During the planning process, jurisdictions were encouraged to work with neighboring jurisdictions within the county, local and regional agencies, and other mitigation partners in order to develop a unified approach to mitigation and to address situations that could affect one another. Bringing together mitigation strategies from the unincorporated area of the county and its 33 participating jurisdictions into a unified plan is a strategy that offers a model for county-wide coordination. The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) was comprised of leaders from each participating jurisdiction’s Local Planning Team (LPT), and other relevant agencies. Each LPT provided local hazard information and capabilities. Each jurisdiction’s vulnerabilities and mitigation needs were explicitly recognized in the strategy, along with those of the overall county. The following stakeholders were invited to participate in the mitigation planning process via email by participating jurisdictions and to attend public meetings via the participating jurisdictions’ websites and public flyers. Stakeholders were encouraged to review the plan and provide relevant information and feedback. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϱ Organization Represented Position Tarrant County Emergency Management Coordinator Wise County Emergency Management Coordinator Johnson County Emergency Management Coordinator Parker County Emergency Management Coordinator Denton County Emergency Management Coordinator Ellis County Emergency Management Coordinator Dallas County Emergency Management Coordinator U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Director – Civil Works U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Lake Grapevine Manager Tarrant County Environmental Services Director Tarrant County Community College District Director of Emergency Management University of Texas at Arlington Emergency Management Coordinator Tarrant Regional Water District Lake Patrol Independent School Districts of Participating Jurisdictions Superintendents Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base Emergency Management Coordinator Texas Department of Transportation Emergency Operations Utility Providers Emergency Operations Local Emergency Planning Committee Emergency Management Coordinator Texas Division of Emergency Management District Coordinator, Field Response Texas Division of Emergency Management Hazard Mitigation Planner State Fire Marshal’s Office District 6, Inspector National Weather Service – Fort Worth Warning & Coordination Meteorologist NCTCOG’s Emergency Preparedness Planning Council Chair NCTCOG’s Regional Emergency Preparedness Advisory Council Chair Local City and Town Councils Local elected officials The North Central Texas Council of Governments was responsible for plan facilitation and coordination with Tarrant County HMPT members and stakeholders throughout the process. 2.1.1 HMPT Points of Contacts The following are members of the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT).

Some jurisdictions also used public surveys and posted the HazMAP online for citizens to view and comment on. NCTCOG hosted a public meeting on behalf of jurisdictions on February 6, 2018 at the Tarrant County Northeast Courthouse. The jurisdictions who used this opportunity to reach the public were in attendance and advertised the meeting within their jurisdiction. The public had the chance to learn about natural hazards in Tarrant County and why jurisdictions were developing a plan to mitigate the effects of these hazards. Citizens signed in and sat through the presentation but did not have any comments or questions at the end. The supporting documentation, advertisements, and details of this meeting and other meetings or outreach strategies are documented within Appendix A in this HazMAP. 2.3 Existing Data and Plans Existing hazard mitigation information and other relevant Hazard Mitigation Action Plans were reviewed during the development of this plan. Data was gathered through numerous sources, including Geographic dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϴ Information Systems (GIS). The intent of reviewing existing material was to identify existing data and information, shared objectives, and past and ongoing activities that can help inform the mitigation plan.

The plan shall include information on previous occurrences of hazard events and on the probability of future hazard events. §201.6(c)(2)(ii)[The risk assessment shall include a] description of the jurisdiction’s vulnerability to the hazards described in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section. This description shall include an overall summary of each hazard and its impact on the community. All plans approved after October 1, 2008 must also address NFIP [National Flood Insurance Program] insured structures that have been repetitively damaged by floods. The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of: §201.6(c)(2)(ii)(A)The types and numbers of existing and future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the identified hazard areas; §201.6(c)(2)(ii)(B)An estimate of the potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures identified in this section and a description of the methodology used to prepare the estimate. §201.6(c)(2)(ii)(C)Providing a general description of land uses and development trends within the community so that mitigation options can be considered in future land use decisions. §201.6(c)(2)(iii)For multi-jurisdictional plans, the risk assessment section must assess each jurisdiction’s risks where they vary from the risks facing the entire planning area. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϭϯ 3.1 Hazard Overview Through an assessment of previous federally declared disasters in Texas, historical events and potential events in Tarrant County, and a review of available local mitigation action plans, it was determined that this Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HazMAP) will address the risks associated with the following 9 natural hazards: ¾Drought ¾Earthquakes ¾Expansive Soils ¾Extreme Heat ¾Flooding (including dam failure) ¾Thunderstorms (including hail, wind, lightning) ¾Tornadoes ¾Wildfires ¾Winter Storms Since the adoption of the previous HazMAP, the definition of a thunderstorm now includes hail, high winds, and lightning. These individual hazards within a thunderstorm will not be listed separately. In 2013, Tarrant County began experiencing earthquakes. It is suspected that dormant fault lines have been disturbed. Earthquakes have been added to the list of natural hazards profiled in this update for jurisdictions that feel they could be potentially impacted by them. Because dams are man-made structures, dam failures are typically considered technological hazards. However, since most dam failures result from prolonged periods of rainfall, they are often cited as secondary or cascading effects of natural flooding disasters and are not identified as a primary hazard. This plan update incorporates the risk and vulnerabilities related to dam failure, when applicable, in the flooding section. Due to the frequency of occurrence and high impact of hazards during this planning period, the ranking order of these hazards has changed since the 2015 plan. Each participating jurisdiction conducted a risk assessment and prioritized the hazards affecting their planning area and determined their best course of action. This information, along with historical events, vulnerabilities, future probability, and impacts are documented within the individual annexes. The definition of vulnerability is the susceptibility of people, property, industry, resources, ecosystems, or historical buildings and artifacts to the negative impact of a disaster.3 The participating jurisdictions have taken into account the possible effects on population, economy, existing and future structures, improved property, critical facilities and infrastructure, and the natural environment for each hazard. Participating jurisdictions understand that identifying technological hazards is not required for a mitigation plan and jurisdictions that chose to do so did so voluntarily. The ranking of natural hazards and technological hazards will remain separate in this HazMAP. 3 FEMA Module 2-5 Understanding Vulnerability. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϭϰ 3.2 Changes in Development Tarrant County has a vibrant and diverse economy that attracts new and relocating businesses, retail development, and new housing construction. If business is to succeed, then economic development must flourish. A collaboration of public and private agencies, along with businesses and individuals, is always ready to step forward to promote the excellent quality of life that makes the community a great place to live, work, and raise families. Changes in development include population variability, climate variability, and various mitigation actions implemented. Individual jurisdictions have identified specific changes in development, when applicable, in their annexes. 3.2.1 Major Disaster Declarations since the 2015 HazMAP The following table lists the recent major disaster declarations that have occurred since the approval of Tarrant County’s 2015 HazMAP: Declared Disaster Code Incident Period Date Declared Description DR-4159 October 30-31, 2013 December 29, 2013 Severe storms and flooding DR-4136 April 17-20, 2013 August 2, 2013 West, Texas fertilizer explosion DR-4223 May 4- June 23, 2015 May 29, 2015 Severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flooding DR-4245 October 22-31, 2015 November 25, 2015 Severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flooding DR-4255 December 26, 2015- January 21, 2016 February 9, 2016 Severe winter storms, tornadoes, strait-line winds, and flooding DR-4266 March 7-29, 2016 March 19, 2016 Severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding DR-4269 April 17-30, 2016 April 25, 2016 Severe storms and flooding DR-4272 May 26-June 24, 2016 June 11, 2016 Severe storms and flooding DR-4332 August 23-September 15, 2017 August 25, 2017 Hurricane Harvey dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϭϱ 3.2.2 Increase in Vulnerability Climate Variability A key factor to an increase in vulnerability is climate variability. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Texas’s climate is changing. Most of the state has warmed between one-half and one degree Fahrenheit (°F) in the past century. In the eastern two-thirds of the state, average annual rainfall is increasing, yet the soil is becoming drier. Rainstorms are becoming more intense, and floods are becoming more severe... In the coming decades, storms are likely to become more severe, deserts may expand, and summers are likely to become increasingly hot and dry, creating problems for agriculture and possibly human health. Our climate is changing because the earth is warming. People have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the air by 40% since the late 1700s. Other heat-trapping greenhouse gases are also increasing. These gases have warmed the surface and lower atmosphere of our planet about one degree during the last 50 years. Evaporation increases as the atmosphere warms, which increases humidity, average rainfall, and the frequency of heavy rainstorms in many places—but contributes to drought in others…4 The following is an article from the Dallas Morning News that describes the effects of climate change specifically in North Texas, where Tarrant County is located: The United States has just come off a record year for weather and climate disasters and, by most accounts, it's only going to get worse. Last year hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria; the wildfires and floods in California; and tornado outbreaks in the Midwest and the South delivered $306.2 billion in damages, more than any year in history when adjusted for inflation. Texas is particularly vulnerable to a changing climate. It has had more costly weather-related disasters than any other state, and those events will happen more often as air and ocean temperatures climb, scientists say. "Climate change is not just about polar bears," said Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist at Texas Tech University with an impressive YouTube following. "It will affect North Texas profoundly." Between 2041 and 2050, Dallas-Fort Worth may see August temperatures rise from a mean of 86 degrees Fahrenheit at the end of the 20th century to 94 degrees, with extremes rising above 120, reports one study by scientists at the University of Texas at Arlington. Longer droughts and more extreme rainstorms will pose a challenge for those who manage drinking water supplies, those who raise cattle, and those who oversee our roads and railways. The changes may also have unexpected effects on people's daily lives, including jobs. Intense heat can imperil cars and airplanes, evaporate drinking water supplies, and halt outdoor labor such as farm work and construction. Adam Smith, a scientist with the federal government's main climate agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, calls Texas "the disaster capital of the United States." 4 What Climate Change Means for Texas. August 2016. EPA 430-F-16-045. United States Environmental Protection Agency.< https://archive.epa.gov/epa/sites/production/files/2016-09/documents/climate-change-tx.pdf> dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϭϲ As Smith explains, Texas is susceptible to almost every kind of weather and climate hazard, from extreme cold to extreme heat, from severe drought and wildfires to torrential floods. Texas is also home to a booming population and critical infrastructure, including the petrochemical plants that were damaged in Hurricane Harvey. "Texas is a hot-spot for a wide range of extreme natural events due to its geography," said Smith. "We expect many of these extremes to become more frequent and intense as time moves forward." While uncertainty is built into climate models, scientists have a high degree of confidence in many of the changes they observe and predict. The bigger, longer and more common an event is, the greater the accuracy with which scientists can project how climate change will impact it, said Hayhoe, a lead author of a November 2017 climate change report overseen by scientists at 13 federal agencies. Larger events have more data associated with them and can be easier to model. Researchers are very confident that climate change will increase both average and extreme temperatures. They are also confident that climate change is likely to increase the risk of heavy precipitation in many areas and may bring stronger droughts to the south-central and southwestern parts of the U.S. Projected impacts on smaller-scale events like tornadoes and ha ilstorms are less well understood. One area of consensus is the cause of climate change. "It is extremely likely that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases, are the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century," note the authors of the Fourth National Climate Assessment, a Congressionally mandated review that scientists conduct every four years. They add that there are no convincing alternative explanations. Below is how these changes will affect our area, the evidence behind the projections, and how confident scientists are in each of these findings. Heat More record-setting heat in North Texas is a virtual certainty. Already, we are living through the warmest period in the history of modern civilization, the federal report found, and that warming will accelerate. Climate science contrarians often attack the models on which climate projections are based. Myron Ebell, who led President Donald Trump's transition team at the Environmental Protection Agency, accepts that humans are most likely responsible for warming, but he says models have exaggerated the outcome. Ebell is director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a libertarian advocacy group based in Washington, D.C. He acknowledges that he is not a scientist. In fact, researchers have used models to predict global temperature changes for more than 50 years, and the models' projections have been fairly accurate over the long term. In the early 21st century, a discrepancy appeared between observed and modeled temperatures-a period dubbed the "global warming slowdown" or "hiatus." dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϭϳ Scientists have published scores of studies on the mismatch and tied it to several factors that contributed to lower-than-expected observed temperatures. Those factors include a series of small volcanic eruptions, the cooling effects of which scientists had underestimated, and lower than expected solar output. Findings from those studies are helping to improve climate model simulations and helping scientists better understand why there are differences between simulations and observations in the early 21stcentury, said Ben Santer, a climate scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Global average temperatures increased about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit in the last 115 years. In Dallas, they climbed from about 65 degrees Fahrenheit during the early part of the 20th century to 68 degrees Fahrenheit during the most recent decade. If nothing is done to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, average temperatures in the city may reach the low 70s by 2050 and surpass 75 degrees by the end of the century. The Dallas area warmed twice as fast as the North Texas region as a whole due to urbanization combined with long-term warming, said John Nielsen-Gammon, Texas' state climatologist and a professor at Texas A&M University. Rapid development in Dallas accelerates the so-called "urban heat island" effect. Man-made building materials absorb and lock in more heat than soil and natural landscapes, so urban areas are generally warmer than rural areas, especially after sunset. While some northern areas stand to benefit from warmer weather, that is not the case for Dallas- Fort Worth. "North Texas and a lot of the southern United States are quite close to thresholds where things get really bad," said Amir Jina of the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy. Earlier this year, he and colleagues published a study in the journal Science that estimated economic damage from climate change in each county of the United States. Once temperatures reach the high 90s, equal to or above body temperature, fatality rates go up. And Jina's study predicts 24 extra deaths per 100,000 people each year in Dallas County by the end of the century if global emissions increase at the same rate they have been. That would be 600 extra deaths per year at the county's 2015 population level. Heat also affects roads. A 2015 study by the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) that focused on the impact of climate change on transportation predicted "an increase in wildfires along paved highways, heat-induced stress on bridges and railroads, air-conditioning problems in public transport vehicles and heat-related accidents by failure of individual vehicles and heat-related stress." The study concluded, "These impacts can be translated into substantial mobility and economic loss." Drought Along with heat will come stronger drought, which "has profound economic impacts," said Hayhoe. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϭϴ The prediction that North Texas will have longer and more severe droughts is based on multiple factors, including the relationship between high temperatures and soil dryness and the presence of more frequent and longer lasting high-pressure systems in summer that suppress rainfall and deflect storms away from our area. Hayhoe points to Texas' 2010-2013 drought as a probable sign of things to come. Although this drought occurred naturally, as a result of a strong La Niña eve nt that typically brings dry conditions to our area, it was exacerbated by extreme heat. That event created severe hay shortages for cattle farmers and led some ranchers to prematurely slaughter their herds or export them out of state. "Cotton can be drought-resistant, but not cattle," said Hayhoe. The 2015 UTA study predicts a reduction in soil moisture of 10% to 15%in all seasons by 2050, which can also lead to cracked pavement and the premature loss of roads, railways, and other infrastructure. Heat and drought also pose a problem for drinking water supplies, which North Texas sources from surface reservoirs that will be increasingly prone to evaporation. Hayhoe says some water managers are considering pumping the reservoirs underground during exceptionally hot and dry conditions, or covering them with polymer "blankets." The blankets are an invisible layer of organic molecules that can help reduce evaporation. Floods While it's not likely that annual precipitation totals will change in North Texas, rainfall patterns likely will. Hayhoe and Nielsen-Gammon both say we will likely see enhanced "feast or famine" cycles with torrential rainstorms in the spring followed by longer than usual dry periods. These predictions carry a high degree of certainty, because climatologists have already recorded this trend playing out. "Rainfall becoming more extreme is something we expect because we've observed this not just in North Texas but throughout the United States, and models consistently predict it will continue to happen," said Nielsen-Gammon. Severe rainstorms, the UTA scientists predict, will have the capacity to flood highway exit and service roads in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100-year floodplain. "While the state highway system was built above flooding levels, the connector roads may be easily flooded," said Arne Winguth, a climate scientist at UTA who co-authored the report. Tornadoes and hail Two events climate scientists cannot reliably project are hailstorms and tornadoes. "A lot of the things we care about are too small-scale to predict with more confidence," said Nielsen-Gammon. "The historical record is not large enough for longer-term forecasts." There is some evidence that tornadoes, like rainstorms, are becoming more concentrated on fewer days and that their season has become less predictable. The same is true with hail. "One thing we expect to happen with a warming climate is that the average humidity in the lower atmosphere may decrease, and if that happens it's easier for hail dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϭϵ to stay frozen," said Nielsen-Gammon. "That factor might increase hailstorms, but that's just one of many factors that do affect hail." Economy Jina of the University of Chicago predicted in his study that climate change would decrease Dallas County's annual income by 10% to 20% in the coming decades unless emissions are reduced. "North Texas is one of the worst-affected places in the country," he said. Much of the loss comes from higher mortality rates, soaring air-conditioning costs, and reduced labor productivity. To track labor productivity, Jina and his colleagues examined national time-use surveys, diaries kept by thousands of volunteers across the country, and compared them with local weather data. He found that on extremely hot days, people tended to stop working about 30 minutes early. "There's direct evidence that people concentrate less well, make more mistakes and their brain just functions less efficiently if it's too hot," he said. Heat also disrupts sleep. "The general lack of productivity leads to them saying, 'No more work today.'" The good news is that many climate-change effects are manageable. They do require local and federal authorities to plan ahead and take action, said Smith of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "It is important," he said, "to address where we build, how we build and also to build protections for populations already exposed in vulnerable areas."5 All participating jurisdictions are experiencing the effects of climate variability. The following information is part of the climatic impact vulnerability assessment conducted by the North Central Texas Council of Governments Department of Transportation and the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and is a compilation of historical climate data and projected future climate information for the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Metropolitan Area: The UTA climate group gathered climate and weather data from 1900 to 2010 to interpret the historic trends in extremes and variability of temperature and precipitation suggesting an increase in temperature, particularly in the summer season, and an increase in rainfall and rainfall intensity, primarily during the spring season. Historic weather-related disruption of transportation is mainly related to extreme events like snow and ice storms as well as damages by severe supercell-type thunderstorms. Future climate prediction suggests extreme temperatures of up to 125°F by the end of 21st century, exceeding historic heat waves by 12°F. By 2050, soil moisture is reduced by 10-15% in all seasons compared to historic values due to increase in temperatures. This suggests a higher risk of infrastructure damage by cracking and, together with elevated temperatures, a higher-than-present risk of fires, particularly in wooded neighborhoods. Higher likelihood of drought will also amplify the urban heat island, particularly during summer months, that can result in up to 10°F temperature difference between downtown Dallas and adjacent rural locations. 5 Climate change to bring North Texas longer droughts, heavy rains, 120-degree temps within 25 years. Kuchment, Anna. 2018, February 15. <https://www.dallasnews.com/news/climate-change-1/2018/02/15/climate-change-to- bring-texas-longer-droughts-heavy-rains-120-temps-august-within-25-years> dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϮϬ An increase in mean rainfall by up to 10% and severe thunderstorms by up to 40% in the spring season will likely lead to a higher risk of flooding affecting the infrastructure. Extreme flooding events exceeding historic floods are expected as a result of more tropical storm systems occurring in the fall season.6 Population Increase National forecasts of population and economic growth indicate that this region will continue to add residents and jobs well into the future. The 2030 projections produced by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) use the year 2000 as a base year and project population and employment in five-year increments to 2030. Over the 30-year horizon, the 16-county North Texas region is anticipated to add 1.6 million households with a corresponding 4.1 million people and 2.3 million non-construction jobs. This represents an average annual population growth rate of 2.6% for these 30 years, a magnitude of growth never before experienced in the North Central Texas region. NCTCOG forecasts reflect only one set of growth assumptions. If circumstances change, real growth outcomes might be considerably different.7 The following table reflects the changes in participating jurisdictions’ demographics since the adoption of the 2015 HazMAP.

The Environment & Development Department at NCTCOG plays a major role in regional coordination and management of reports and projects that improve regional resilience to natural hazards through the following programs: The Corridor Development Certificate (CDC) – The CDC process aims to stabilize flood risk along the Trinity River. The CDC process does not prohibit floodplain development but ensures that any development that does occur in the floodplain will not raise flood water levels or reduce flood storage capacity. A CDC permit is required to develop land within a specific area of the Trinity floodplain called the Regulatory Zone, which is similar to the 100-year floodplain. o Under the CDC process, local governments retain ultimate control over floodplain permitting decisions, but other communities along the Trinity River Corridor are given the opportunity to review and comment on projects in their neighbor’s jurisdiction. As the Metroplex economy continues to grow and develop, the CDC process will prevent increased flood risks The Trinity River COMMON VISION Program- Local governments along the Trinity River launched a regional initiative that has stimulated excitement and galvanized support for a new Trinity River COMMON VISION. It is composed of these elements: o A safe Trinity River, with stabilization and reduction of flooding risks. o A clean Trinity River, with fishable and swimmable waters. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϮϮ o An enjoyable Trinity River, with recreational opportunities linked by a trails system within a world-class greenway. o A natural Trinity River, with preservation and restoration of riparian and cultural resources o A diverse Trinity River, with local and regional economic, transportation and other public needs addressed. NCTCOG-OneRain Contrail Flood Warning Software- Contrail software that delivers automated real-time data collection, processing, validation, analysis, archiving and visualization of hydrometeorological and environmental sensor data. The integrated Stormwater Management (iSWM) Program- The iSWM™ Program for Construction and Development is a cooperative initiative that assists cities and counties to achieve their goals of water quality protection, streambank protection, and flood mitigation, while also helping communities meet their construction and post-construction obligations under state stormwater permits. o Development and redevelopment by their nature increase the amou nt of imperviousness in our surrounding environment. This increased imperviousness translates into loss of natural areas, more sources for pollution in runoff, and heightened flooding risks. To help mitigate these impacts, more than 60 local governments are cooperating to proactively create sound stormwater management guidance for the region through the integrated Stormwater Management (iSWM) Program. 16-County Watershed Management Initiative- Communities from across the region come together to collaborate on how to reduce the risks of flooding in their communities. Texas Smartscape- Texas SmartScape™ is a landscape program crafted to be "smart" for North Central Texas. Based on water-efficient landscape principles, it promotes the use of plants suited to our region's soil, climate, and precipitation that don't require much—if any—additional irrigation, pesticides, fertilizer, or herbicides to thrive. o The two main goals of the program are to: Improve stormwater runoff quality Conserve local water supplies The article below details a major project underway in Tarrant County and addresses smart development along the Trinity River. Typically, development in a hazard-prone area, such as a floodplain, is recognized as a factor that increases the vulnerability of an area, but this smart approach to design and development actually decreases vulnerability. A Smart Approach to Land Development along the Trinity River The Trinity River is a major part of Fort Worth's rich and colorful history. In 1849, an army outpost was established on the banks of the river at the confluence of the West Fork and the Clear Fork, and that convergence anchors the downtown area today. The "Master Plan" for the Trinity River is a concept literally decades in the making. Encouraged by community volunteers in the 1980s, developed by urban designers and specialty consultants in the 1990s, and adopted by city council in 2003, the Trinity River Vision Master Plan encompasses 88 miles of the Trinity River and its greenbelts and tributaries throughout the Fort Worth area. The "vision" has always been to advocate for this natural resource, keeping the river beautiful, dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ Ϯϯ accessible, enjoyable, and productive and to make sure it remains a valuable asset for the entire community. The plan includes a major restoration of the park’s ecosystem and provides numerous and diverse recreational amenities. These are secondary, however, to the flood control aspects. According to a 2006 report conducted by the Army Corps of Engineers, 86% of the levies in the project area failed flood testing. This further motivated developer to move forward with re-structuring the area. The plan focuses on eight segments of the Trinity River and its tributaries: Clear Fork North, Clear Fork South, Marine Creek, Mary's Creek, Sycamore Creek, West Fork East, West Fork West, and the Central City area now called Trinity Uptown. It considers environmental quality, conservation, recreation facilities, trail developments, reforestation, beautification, and linkage to neighborhoods, downtown, and other special districts. The plan also addresses adjoining land uses, transportation, and how other facilities best complement and benefit from the greenways. When completed, Gateway Park will be three times the size of Central Park in New York City, making it the largest urbanized park in the country.8 3.3 Profiling Natural Hazards The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HazMAP) is a tool to assist in the identification and documentation of natural hazards faced by the county and participating jurisdictions. Hazard profiles were created by compiling data from the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) regional natural hazards risk assessments, damage assessments, hazard data, and geographic information. Of the 15 hazards identified in the State of Texas Hazard Mitigation Plan, the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) identified nine that could affect participating jurisdictions in Tarrant County. Coastal erosion, land subsidence, and hurricane/tropical storm will not be profiled because of their extremely low risk to the participating jurisdictions. Dam failure is an accidental or unintentional collapse, breach, or other failure of an impoundment structure that results in downstream flooding. Though there are 63 dams are in the county, no jurisdiction has claimed to be at severe risk to flooding from dam failure in the next five years. Drought, earthquakes, expansive soils, extreme heat, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and winter storms have a county-wide impact, which includes all participating jurisdictions. Wildfires are most likely a threat to jurisdictions that are rural with undeveloped land. Flooding is also expected anywhere in the county, but is most likely a threat to jurisdictions containing 100-year floodplains or bodies of water. The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) has identified the following natural hazards as having the potential to cause damage in the county and participating jurisdictions: ¾Drought ¾Earthquakes ¾Expansive Soils ¾Extreme Heat ¾Flooding 8 Trinity River Vision. <https://www.tarrantcounty.com/en/county/supermenu-contents/residents/trinity-river- vision.html> dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ Ϯϰ ¾Thunderstorms ¾Tornadoes ¾Wildfires ¾Winter Storms Drought, earthquakes, expansive soils, extreme heat, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and winter storms do not have geographic boundaries and can impact the entire county equally, which includes all participating jurisdictions.

It can be aggravated by other factors such as high temperatures, high winds, and low relative humidity. Tarrant County experiences a cycle of extended wet and drought conditions that can extend over a period of months even years. Extended periods of drought can have an enormous impact on an area by affecting the abundance of water supply, the agriculture economy, and foundations of structures. Drought may affect the entire Tarrant County planning area equally. The following maps and chart reflect the annual changes in drought conditions between the years 2015 to 2018. Tarrant County has experienced an increase in drought conditions over the years, with 2016 being the wettest year during this time period. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ Ϯϳ http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ Ϯϴ Source: United States Drought Monitor.

The following map reflects the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) for Tarrant County and the state of Texas. KBDI is an index used to determining forest fire potential. The drought index is based on a daily water balance, where a drought factor is balanced with precipitation and soil moisture (assumed to have a maximum storage capacity of 8-inches) and is expressed in hundredths of an inch of soil moisture depletion. The drought index ranges from 0 to 800, where a drought index of 0 represents no moisture depletion, and an index of 800 represents absolutely dry conditions. Presently, this index is derived from ground based estimates of temperature and precipitation derived from weather stations and interpolated manually by experts at the Texas Forest Service (TFS) for counties across the state. Researchers at Texas A&M University are working with the TFS to derive this index fr om AVHRR satellite data and NEXRAD radar rainfall within a GIS. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϯϬ Historical Events of Drought since 2015 Column Definitions: 'Dth': Deaths, 'Inj': Injuries, 'PrD': Property Damage, 'CrD': Crop Damage Location Date Time Type Dth Inj PrD CrD Totals: 0 0 2.00K 7.00K Tarrant (Zone) 02/01/2015 00:00 Drought 0 0 0.00K 2.00K Tarrant (Zone) 03/01/2015 00:00 Drought 0 0 0.00K 3.00K Tarrant (Zone) 04/01/2015 00:00 Drought 0 0 0.00K 1.00K Tarrant (Zone) 08/25/2015 00:00 Drought 0 0 0.00K 0.00K Tarrant (Zone) 09/01/2015 00:00 Drought 0 0 0.00K 1.00K Tarrant (Zone) 10/01/2015 00:00 Drought 0 0 2.00K 0.00K Totals: 0 0 2.00K 7.00K Source: National Centers for Environmental Information. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϯϭ In total, property damage from drought totals $2,000 and crop damage totals $7,000. Calculations of annualized losses due to drought events were conducted using historical data obtained from the National Climatic Data Center. The annualized loss value can be interpreted as the impact expected from drought in terms of annualized human losses and human injuries, and annualized property losses. As observed in the table, Tarrant County can expect approximately an annual $667 in property losses, and $2,334 of crop losses each year as a result of drought, with no injuries or deaths expected from this event. In Texas, local governments are empowered to take action on the behalf of those they serve. When drought conditions exist, a burn ban can be put in place by a county judge or county Commissioners Court prohibiting or restricting outdoor burning for public safety.9 3.3.2 Earthquake An earthquake is a sudden motion or trembling caused by an abrupt release of accumulated strain on the tectonic plates that comprise the earth's crust. The theory of plate tectonics holds that the earth's crust is broken into several major plates. These rigid, 50- to 60- mile thick plates move slowly and continuously over the interior of the earth, meeting in some areas and separ ating in others. As the tectonic plates move together they bump, slide, catch, and hold. Eventually, faults along or near plate boundaries slip abruptly when the stress exceeds the elastic limit of the rock, and an earthquake occurs. The ensuring seismic activity and ground motion provoke secondary hazards: surface faulting and ground failure. The vibration or shaking of the ground during an earthquake is referred to as ground motion. In general, the severity of ground motion increases with the amount of energy released and decreases with distance from the causative fault or epicenter. When a fault ruptures, seismic waves are propagated in all directions, causing the ground to vibrate at frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 30 Hz. Seismic waves are referred to as P waves, S waves, and surface waves. Due to the risk associated with a distant quake, earthquakes may affect the entire planning area equally. Tarrant County has a very low earthquake risk, with a total of 18 earthquakes since 1931. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) database shows that there is a 0.18% chance of a major earthquake within 30 miles of Tarrant County within the next 50 years. The largest earthquake within 30 miles of Tarrant County was a 3.6 Magnitude in 2017.10 9 Fire Danger: Texas Burn Bans.

There is the potential for future earthquake events, as Azle and Irving faults were recently discovered. Earthquakes from surrounding areas can also affect the participating jurisdictions. Though no dollar-amount of destruction was found, it is expected that all county and jurisdictional assets are considered vulnerable and can be exposed to this hazard. Assets near the Azle and Irving fault lines are most vulnerable to an earthquake event. Loss estimates are based on total amount over a period of time. The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan reports no loss estimates. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϯϱ dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶϯϲ In the picture above, it shows that most earthquakes since 1973 have occurred in the neighboring state of Oklahoma. If an Oklahoma earthquake is large enough, participating jurisdictions in Tarrant County can feel the shake, as Oklahoma is about 180 miles north. Jurisdictions in Tarrant County have experienced multiple earthquakes since 2009. The picture above reflects the level of ground shaking from earthquakes in 2017. Tarrant County is at a Level V or VI on the Modified Marcelli Intensity Chart, with shaking being moderate to strong. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϯϳ 3.3.3 Expansive Soils Expansive soils are soils that contain large percentages of swelling clays that may experience volume changes of up to 40% in the absence or presence of water. This type of plastic deformation is common in Tarrant County. Homes built on expanding smectite clays without due precautions will likely will be structurally damaged as the clay takes up water. Cracks will appear in walls and floors. Damage can be minor, but it also can be severe enough for the home to be stru cturally unsafe. Expansive soil is considered one of the most common causes of pavement distresses in roadways. Depending upon the moisture level, expansive soils will experience changes in volume due to moisture fluctuations from seasonal variations. Expansive soils may affect the entire Tarrant County planning area equally. Expansive soils is a condition that is native to Texas soil characteristics, and cannot be documented as a time- specific event, except when it leads to structural and infrastructure damage. The great increase in damages in Texas caused by problems with expansive soils can be traced to the rise in residential slab-on-grade construction which began to accelerate in the 1960s. Prior to that time, most residential construction in Texas was pier and beam, with wood siding or other non-masonry covering. Affected homes will be heavily influenced by their proximity to a large body of water, such as homes on Eagle Mountain Lake, whereas older pier and beam foundations will behave in an entirely different manner. Western and Central Tarrant County consists of several different limestone formations (the Washita group) made up of limestone and shale that produce a variety of clay-rich soils with rocky shallow soil horizons. Eastern Tarrant County is supported by Woodbine sandstone, a picturesque rolling topography dominated by sandy loams and clay-rich soils. These sandier soils allow for subsurface water movement and require special consideration. This propensity for water movement can easily compromise the foundations of homes in Tarrant County.11 11 Fort Worth Foundation Repair.

When persisting over a period of time, it is called a heat wave. Extreme heat can also be a factor that drastically impacts drought conditions, as high temperatures lead to an increased rate of evaporation. Extreme heat can also lead to heat stroke and even death in vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and the very young, if exposed to the high temperatures for an extended period of time. Extreme heat may affect the entire Tarrant County planning area equally. The following scale was used to determine the extent of extreme heat in Tarrant County and participating jurisdictions. The Heat Index is a measure of how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature. To find the Heat Index temperature, look at the Heat Index Chart below. As an example, if the air temperature is 96°F and the relative humidity is 65%, the heat index-how hot it feels-is 121°F. The red area without numbers indicates extreme danger. The National Weather Service (NWS) will initiate alert procedures when the Heat Index is expected to exceed 105°-110°F (depending on local climate) for at least 2 consecutive days. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϯϵ NWS also offers a Heat Index chart, below, for areas with high heat but low relative humidity. Since heat index values were devised for shady, light wind conditions, exposure to full sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15°F.

The floodplain is the land adjoining the channel of a river, stream, ocean, lake, or other watercourse or water body that is susceptible to flooding. The statistical meaning of terms like “100-year flood” can be confusing. Simply stated, a floodplain can be located anywhere; it just depends on how large and how often a flood event occurs. Floodplains are those areas that are subject to inundation from flooding. Floods and the floodplains associated with them are often described in terms of the percent chance of a flood event happening in any given year. As a community management or planning term, “floodplain” most often refers to an area that is subject to inundation by a flood that has a 1% chance of occurring in any given year (commonly referred to as the 100-year floodplain). Common flooding hazards within the planning area include flood hazards from flash flooding and new development. Floodwater can disguise many dangerous obstacles, like uncovered manholes or debris that can cause someone to fall over. Standing water, or water that isn't flowing, can also become a breeding ground for bugs that can make people very ill. Another risk can be downed power lines which may still be live. On the following map, the floodway and 100-year floodplain are identified along the rivers and creeks in Tarrant County. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϰϮ Source: Property Shark dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶϰϯ A flash flood is a rapid flood that inundates low-lying areas in less than six hours. This is caused by intense rainfall from a thunderstorm or several thunderstorms. Flash floods can also occur from the collapse of a man-made structure or ice dam. Construction and development can change the natural drainage and create brand new flood risks as the concrete that comes with ne w buildings, parking lots, and roads create less land that can absorb excess precipitation from heavy rains. Flash floods are a high risk hazard since they can tear out trees and destroy buildings and bridges. Below is a map of low water crossings in Tarrant County as of 2012, identified by yellow circles. A low water crossing provides a bridge or overpass when water flow is low. Under high-flow conditions, water runs over the roadway and impedes vehicular traffic. Texas leads the nation in flash flood deaths and most are due to people crossing these low areas in times of flooding . Additional details on flooding are provided in the jurisdictional annexes.

Each of the basins has several unique features, both climatic (such as precipitation and evaporation), as well as physiographic (geology, slope, soil type, vegetation and land use practices) which contribute to the nature of runoff from the basins. The West Fork Trinity River is the only major river in Tarrant County and can affect some of the participating jurisdictions. There are a total of four branches of the Trinity River: the West Fork, Clear Fork, Elm Fork, and East Fork. The Trinity is a slow, meandering river with many twists and turns from its headwaters to its mouth. Dams have been erected to create Lake Bridgeport, Eagle Mountain Lake and Lake Worth, the latter two being in or on the outskirts of Fort Worth. The West Fork Trinity River has its headwaters in Archer County. From there it flows southeast, through the man-made reservoirs Lake Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain Lake then flowing eastward through Lake Worth and then the city of Fort Worth.

Dam Failure A dam is defined as a barrier constructed across a watercourse for the purpose of storage, control, or diversion of water. Dams typically are constructed of earth, rock, concrete, or mine tailings. A dam failure is an accidental or unintentional collapse, breach, or other failure of an impoundment structure that results in downstream flooding. Because dams are man-made structures, dam failures are usually considered technological hazards. The hazard extent rating scale for dam failure is based on the amount of potential damage that can be caused by a failure. For the purposes of this hazard analysis, damage from dam failure only takes into account areas where developed property is affected. Although dam failures can cause extensive damage, there has been no recorded failures in Tarrant County as a wide array of measures, including maintenance, are taken to ensure structural integrity. Ninety-five percent of dams in Tarrant County are regulated by a state agency and 3% are regulated by a federal agency. The average age for the 63 dams is 53 years old. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϰϲ At the time this plan was written, specific inundation data for dams in Tarrant County was unavailable; however, it can be said that all people, property, and environments located in an inundation area would be affected by dam failure. One of the two high hazard federal dams shown in red on the following map is in a participating jurisdiction. It is owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District (CESF). Dam Name City Owner Benbrook Lake Fort Worth U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District (CESF) According to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), there are 33 state regulated dams in Tarrant County that are high hazard and there are 8 dams that are significant hazard. Twenty-five of the high hazard dams have an emergency action plan (EAP), and all 8 of the significant hazard dams have an EAP. Below is a list of the dams in Tarrant County provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Those without a city name can be presumed to be located in the unincorporated Tarrant County. The list reflects the most current 2018 National Inventory of Dams (NID) database. State and federal dam regulators provided their data from May to November 2018 for inclusion in the 2018 database. Please contact the respective state or federal regulatory authority for the most up-to-date information. The NID consists of dams meeting at least one of the following criteria; 1. High hazard potential classification - loss of human life is likely if the dam fails. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϰϳ 2. Significant hazard potential classification - no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. 3.

The hazard classification of dams and inundation maps are not available to the public, per Homeland Security regulations. If specific information is needed for a dam, please contact the dam owners or the Dam Safety Section of the TCEQ via the Tarrant County Emergency Management Coordinator. The extent of dam failure in the planning area has not yet been determined as a result of a lack of data regarding inundation levels. It is believed that all census blocks within a 5-mile radius are at risk to failure from the dams with the largest water capacity. The cities of Arlington, Fort Worth, Grapevine, Haltom City, Lake Worth, North Richland Hills, Pantego, and the unincorporated county are the only jurisdictions with dams listed in their area. Due to the lack of data, in the next five years these jurisdictions will have a goal to work with the state to conduct a study to fill the data deficiency, including inundation zones, vulnerability to, and potential impacts of a dam failure. NFIP As a participating member in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), Tarrant County is required to regulate any development in designated flood prone areas. All work within a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated floodplain requires a floodplain permit. The floodplain permit is free; however, it may require additional information indicating that adjacent property owners will not be adversely impacted due to the development. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϱϬ Additional information may include, but is not limited to, an elevation certificate, a flood study, a topographical survey of before and after conditions, Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR), Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), and Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA). A property owner is required to obtain a floodplain permit prior to performing any type of work in the floodplain, including the placement of fill. The finished floor elevation of new homes constructed in a floodplain must be located at least one foot above the base flood elevation. Prior to the submittal of any documents to FEMA, the county floodplain administrator will review the documents to ensure they are in compliance with the county's floodplain regulations A permit will only be issued after it is determined that the proposed work will not have an adverse impact on adjacent property owners, will not decrease the flood carrying capacity of the watercourse and will not create a situation that is dangerous during flooding events. As development occurs along with growth, more property is exposed. In fact, due to the rapid development in the area, the planners have experienced problems determining building footprints within the floodplain and are working to accurately identify the number and types of buildings vulnerable to flooding. Among the NFIP’s policyholders are thousands whose properties have flooded multiple times. Called “repetitive loss properties,” these are buildings and/or contents for which the NFIP has paid at least two claims of more than $1,000 in any 10-year period since 1978. “Severe repetitive loss properties” are those for which the program has either made at least four payments for buildings and/or contents of more than $5,000 or at least two building-only payments that exceeded the value of the property. These two kinds of properties are the biggest draw on the NFIP Fund. They not only increase the NFIP’s annual losses and the need for borrowing; but they drain funds needed to prepare for catastrophic events. Community leaders and residents are also concerned with the Repetitive Loss problem because residents' lives are disrupted and may be threatened by the continual flooding. The primary objective of identifying these properties is to eliminate or reduce the damage to property and the disruption to life caused by repeated flooding of the same properties. The following table reflects the loss statistics for repetitive loss properties in participating jurisdictions. In summary, there was over $35,184,127.07 in payments made to the jurisdictions and over 2,000 losses.

The goals of the CRS are to reduce flood damages to insurable property, strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP, and encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. The CRS has been developed to provide incentives in the form of premium discounts for communities to go beyond the minimum floodplain management requirements to develop extra measures to provide protection from flooding. For a community to be eligible, it must be in full compliance with the NFIP. All communities start out with a Class 10 rating, which provides no discount. There are 10 CRS classes: Class 1 requires the most credit points and gives the greatest premium discount; Class 10 identifies a dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϱϯ community that does not apply for the CRS or does not obtain a minimum number of credit points and receives no discount. There are 18 activities recognized as measures for eliminating exposure to floods. Credit points are assigned to each activity. The activities are organized under 4 main categories: x Public Information x Mapping and Regulation x Flood Damage Reduction x Flood Preparedness Premium discounts ranging from 5% to a maximum of 45% are applied to eligible policies written in a community as recognition of the floodplain management activities instituted. All CRS communities must maintain completed FEMA elevation and floodproofing certificates for all new and substantially improved construction in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) after the date of application for CRS classification. These certificates must be available upon request. Therefore, in writing a policy, an agent/producer should be able to get these certificates from any CRS community. In addition, some CRS communities receive credit for having completed certif icates for Post-Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) buildings constructed prior to the CRS application date. If they do receive this credit, these certificates should also be available to agents/producers writing flood insurance. The following participating jurisdictions in Tarrant County have CRS ratings.

Hail Hail occurs when, at the outgrowth of a severe thunderstorm, balls or irregularly shaped lumps of ice greater than 0.75 inches in diameter fall with rain. Early in the developmental stages of a hailstorm, ice crystals form within a low-pressure front due to warm air rising rapidly into the upper atmosphere and the subsequent cooling of the air mass. Frozen droplets gradually accumulate on the ice crystals until, having developed sufficient weight, they fall as precipitation. The TORRO scale for hail extends from H0 to H10 with its increments of intensity or damage potential related to hail size (distribution and maximum), texture, fall speed, speed of storm translation, and strength of the accompanying wind. An indication of equivalent hail kinetic energy ranges (in joules per square meter) has now been added to the first six increments on the scale, and this may be derived from radar reflectivity or from hail pads. The International Hailstorm Intensity Scale recognizes that hail size alone is insufficient to accurately categorize the intensity and damage potential of a hailstorm, especially towards the lower end of the scale. For example, without additional information, an event in which hail of up to walnut size is reported (hail size code 3: hail diameter of 21-30 mm) would be graded as a hailstorm with a minimum intensity of H2-H3. Additional information, such as the ground wind speed or the nature of the damage the hail caused, would help to clarify the intensity of the event. For instance, a fall of walnut-sized hail with little or no wind may scar fruit and sever the stems of crops but would not break vertical glass and so would be ranked H2-H3. However, if accompanied by strong winds, the same hail may smash many windows in a house and dent the bodywork of a car, and so be graded an intensity as high as H5. However, evidence indicates maximum hailstone size is the most important parameter relating to structural damage, especially towards the more severe end of the scale. It must be noted that hailstone shapes are also an important feature, especially as the "effective" diameter of non-spheroidal specimens should ideally be an average of the coordinates. Spiked or jagged hail can also increase some aspects of damage. Below is the TORRO Hailstorm Intensity Scale (H0 to H10) in relation to typical damage and hail size codes. TORRO Hailstorm Intensity Scale Size Code Intensity Category Typical Hail Diameter (mm)* Probable Kinetic Energy, J-m2 Typical Damage Impacts H0 Hard Hail 5 0-20 No damage H1 Potentially Damaging 5-15 >20 Slight general damage to plants, crops dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϱϱ TORRO Hailstorm Intensity Scale Size Code Intensity Category Typical Hail Diameter (mm)* Probable Kinetic Energy, J-m2 Typical Damage Impacts H2 Significant 10-20 >100 Significant damage to fruit, crops, vegetation H3 Severe 20-30 >300 Severe damage to fruit and crops, damage to glass and plastic structures, paint and wood scored H4 Severe 25-40 >500 Widespread glass damage, vehicle bodywork damage H5 Destructive 30-50 >800 Wholesale destruction of glass, damage to tiled roofs, significant risk of injuries H6 Destructive 40-60 Bodywork of grounded aircraft dented, brick walls pitted H7 Destructive 50-75 Severe roof damage, risk of serious injuries H8 Destructive 60-90 Severe damage to aircraft bodywork H9 Super Hailstorms 75-100 Extensive structural damage, risk of severe or even fatal injuries to persons caught in the open H10 Super Hailstorms >100 Extensive structural damage, risk of severe or even fatal injuries to persons caught in the open *Approximate range (typical maximum size in bold), since other factors (e.g. number and density of hailstones, hail fall speed, and surface wind speeds) affect severity. Wind Straight-line winds are often responsible for the wind damage associated with a thunderstorm. These winds are often confused with tornadoes because of similar damage and wind speeds. However, the strong and gusty winds associated with straight-line winds blow roughly in a straight line, unlike the rotating winds of a tornado. Downbursts or micro-bursts are examples of damaging straight-line winds. A downburst is a small area of rapidly descending rain and rain-cooled air beneath a thunderstorm that produces a violent, localized downdraft covering 2.5 miles or less. Wind speeds in some of the stronger downbursts can reach 100 to 150 miles per hour, which is similar to that of a strong tornado. The winds dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϱϲ produced from a downburst often occur in one direction and the worst damage is usually on the forward side of the downburst. The following Beaufort Wind Chart shows the description and scale used to classify the wind intensity in a thunderstorm. The scale is now rarely used by professional meteorologists, having been largely replaced by more objective methods of determining wind speeds—such as using anemometers, tracking wind echoes with Doppler radar, and monitoring the deflection of rising weather balloons and radiosondes from their points of release. Nevertheless, it is still useful in estimating the wind characteristics over a large area, and it may be used to estimate the wind where there are no wind instruments. The Beaufort scale also can be used to measure and describe the effects of different wind velocities on objects on land or at sea.

A “bolt” or brilliant flash of light is created when the buildup becomes strong enough. These bolts of lightning can be seen in cloud-to-cloud or cloud-to-ground strikes. Bolts of lightning can reach temperatures approaching 50,000°F. While lightning is mostly affiliated with dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϱϳ thunderstorms, lightning often strikes outside of these storms, as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. FEMA states that an average of 300 people are injured and 80 people are killed in the United States each year by lighting. Direct strikes have the power to cause significant damage to buildings, critical facilities, infrastructure, and the ignition of wildfires which can result in widespread damages to property and persons. Lightning is the most significant natural contributor to fires affecting the built environment. The lightning activity level (LAL) is a common parameter that is part of fire weather forecasts nationwide. LAL is a measure of the amount of lightning activity using values 1 to 6 where: LAL Cloud and Storm Development Lightning Strikes Per 15 Minutes 1 No thunderstorms - 2 Cumulus clouds are common but only a few reach the towering cumulus stage. A single thunderstorm must be confirmed in the observation area. The clouds produce mainly virga, but light rain will occasionally reach the ground. Lightning is very infrequent 1-8 3 Towering cumulus covers less than two-tenths of the sky. Thunderstorms are few, but two to three must occur within the observation area. Light to moderate rain will reach the ground and lightning is infrequent 9-15 4 Towering cumulus covers two to three-tenths of the sky. Thunderstorms are scattered and more than three must occur within the observation area. Moderate rain is common and lightning is frequent 16-25 5 Towering cumulus and thunderstorms are numerous. They cover more than three-tenths and occasionally obscure the sky. Rain is moderate to heavy and lightning is frequent and intense >25 6 Similar to LAL 3 except thunderstorms are dry According to the following map from the National Lightning Detection Network, jurisdictions in Tarrant County experience a flash density of 12-20 flashes per square mile, per year. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϱϴ dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϱϵ The National Weather Service uses the following Storm Prediction Center (SPC) activity levels to represent severe weather outlooks.

Though most new homes and buildings in participating jurisdictions are built to resist the effects of all but the strongest thunderstorms, a number of mobile and manufactured home parks and vehicles remain vulne rable. Thousands of homes and vehicles can be damaged in a single storm, causing millions of dollars in damages.12 12 State of Texas Mitigation Plan. 2013, page 72. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϲϬ 3.3.7 Tornadoes A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that comes in contact with the ground. A tornado can either be suspended from, or occur underneath, a cumuliform cloud. It is often, but not always, visible as a condensation funnel. The Enhanced Fujita Scale, or EF Scale, is the scale for rating the strength of tornadoes during the observed time period via the damage they cause. Six categories from EF0 to EF5 represent increasing degrees of damage. The scale takes into account how most structures are designed and is thought to be an accurate representation of the surface wind speeds in the most violent tornadoes. Enhanced Fujita Scale Enhanced Fujita Category Wind Speed in Miles Per Hour (MPH) Potential Damage EF0 65-85 Light damage. Peels surface off some roofs; some damage to gutters or siding; branches broken off trees; shallow-rooted trees pushed over. EF1 86-110 Moderate damage. Roofs severely stripped; manufactured homes overturned or badly damaged; loss of exterior doors; windows and other glass broken. EF2 111-135 Considerable damage. Roofs torn off well-constructed houses; foundations of frame homes shifted; manufactured homes completely destroyed; large trees snapped or uprooted; light object become projectiles; cars lifted off ground. EF3 136-165 Severe damage. Entire stories of well-constructed houses destroyed; severe damage to large buildings such as shopping malls; trains overturned; trees debarked; heavy cars lifted off the ground and thrown; structures with weak foundations blown away some distance. EF4 166-200 Devastating damage. Well-constructed houses and whole frame houses completely leveled; cars thrown and small projectiles generated. EF5 >200 Incredible damage. Strong frame houses leveled off foundations and swept away; automobile-sized projectiles fly through the air in excess of 300 feet. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϲϭ The highest likelihood of tornadoes can be expected in the spring season, from March-May.

Wildfires are fueled almost exclusively by natural vegetation. Interface or intermix fires are urban/wildland fires in which vegetation and the built environment provide fuel. Firestorms are events of such extreme intensity that effective suppression is virtually impossible. Firestorms occur during extreme weather and generally burn until conditions change or the available fuel is exhausted. Note: Though there have been numerous ignitions, Tarrant County does not classify wildfires as a hazard until they are 25 acres or larger. This is the point at which additional outside help may need to be called in through the use of mutual aid agreements. For the purposes of this hazard analysis, wildfires are assessed under what is known as the wildland-urban interface (WUI). The WUI is an area of development that is susceptible to wildfires due to the amount of structures located in an area with vegetation that can act a fuel for a wildfire. The WUI creates an environment in which fire can move readily between structural and vegetation fuels. The expansion of these areas has increased the likelihood that wildfires will threaten structures and people. Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Source: Texas Wildfire Risk. Wildfires can cause significant damage to property and threatens the lives of people who are unable to evacuate WUI areas. All improved property, critical facilities, and critical structures and infrastructure located in these wildfire-prone areas are considered vulnerable and can be exposed to this hazard.

A winter storm or blizzard combines heavy snowfall, high winds, extreme cold, and ice storms. Many winter depressions give rise to exceptionally heavy rain and widespread flooding and conditions worsen if the precipitation falls in the form of snow. The winter storm season varies widely, depending on latitude, altitude, and proximity to moderating influences. The time period of most winter weather is expected to be during the winter season, between Nov ember and March. Winter storms affect the entire planning area equally. During periods of extreme cold and freezing temperatures, water pipes can freeze and crack, and ice can build up on power lines, causing them to break under the weight or causing tree limbs to fall on the lines. These events can disrupt electric service for long periods of time. An economic impact may occur due to increased consumption of heating fuel, which can lead to energy shortages and higher prices. Schools often close when severe winter weather is forecasted, and it becomes a logistics burden for parents who then have to miss work or find alternative child care. House fires and resulting deaths tend to occur more frequently from increased and improper use of alternate heating sources. Fires during winter storms also present a greater danger because water supplies may freeze and impede firefighting efforts. Cold snaps in which temperatures fall below the freezing point of 32°F do happen on an annual basis in the Tarrant County and are highlighted in the table below.

The following article highlights the severe impacts of winter weather in North Central Texas and Tarrant County. Though this article is from the 2013 storm, it describes what Tarrant County could experience again. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϲϴ National Weather Service: North Texas Snowfall Events December 5-6, 2013 A winter storm affected much of North and Central Texas for an extended period from December 5th through the 10th. A combination of freezing rain, sleet, and a little snow began falling during the day on the 5th and continued through the morning hours of the 6th. As the ice and sleet settled on the 6th, a thick layer of ice paralyzed most of the area north of a line from Goldthwaite to Cleburne to Ennis to Sulphur Springs. In this area, accumulations of sleet and ice measured up to 5" with the highest amounts from Denton to Sherman to Bonham. Temperatures remained below freezing until the 9th and 10th resulting in a prolonged winter event. Most residents were forced to remain at home for several days. A new term, coined "cobblestone ice," was used to describe the condition of the ice on the interstates and highways due to the compaction of ice and sleet. NBC 5 News captured "cobblestone ice" on North Texas roads. South of this area, lighter amounts of icing occurred producing mainly icy bridges, overpasses, and elevated surfaces. As a result of the ice storm, significant tree damage occurred with thousands of tree branches falling under the weight of the ice. Power lines were also brought down, and at the peak of the storm, 275,000 customers were without power in the North Texas region. Most schools, especially in the hardest hit areas, were closed for several days. Some businesses were forced to close for a day or two also. Hundreds of injuries were reported due to falls on the ice but exact numbers were not available. Seven fatalities occurred during this event; 4 in vehicles, 2 from exposure, and 1 from a fall on the ice. Early estimates from the insurance council estimated $30 million in residential insured loses. The estimate did not include damage to vehicles or roads. Many roads and bridges were damaged from the ice and/or from attempts by Texas Department of Transportation to remove the ice using plows and graders. Hundreds of people and semi-trucks were stranded for long periods on many of the main highways and interstates including I-35 from Fort Worth to the Oklahoma border and Interstate 20 from Fort Worth going west in Tarrant County. The clean-up from this event took weeks and even a few months is some places.13 13 North Texas Snowfall Events 2013-1879, National Weather Service. <https://www.weather.gov/fwd/snowevents> dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϲϵ Though there has not been a major winter event recorded since this 2013 example, a severe winter storm happening in the next five years cannot be ruled out, as weather patterns have been evolving along with the change in climate, mentioned earlier.

In total, property damage from the various hazards within a winter storm totals $50,000 since 2015. 3.4 Technological Hazards Some participating jurisdictions have chosen to analyze technological hazards that impact them. Technological hazards are an increasing source of risk to people and their environment. This is an effect of the globalization of production, an increase of industrialization and a certain level of risk related to accidents connected with production, processes, transportation, and waste management. These risks are associated with the release of substances in accident conditions or with the production of such substances under certain conditions as fire. These substances could affect human health or the environment by contamination and their effects on animals and plants.14 Examples of technological hazards include hazardous material events, infectious disease outbreaks, national security hazards, nuclear accidents, power failure, and telecommunication failure. The jurisdictions that chose to profile technological hazards identified and described technological hazards within their individual annex. 14 Technological Hazard.

These vulnerabilities in turn have various impacts. We know that, by definition, disasters are capable of causing death and injury. We also know that housing and schools may be destroyed. These particular losses may be considered to be social impacts, as they affect the ability of individuals and families to function. With regard to negative environmental impacts, if a community contains important ecological sites (e.g., the site of a unique flora or fauna habitat), then these areas may be extremely vulnerable to almost any sort of disaster. There is monetary loss, or negative economic impact, whenever buildings, non-structural property, or infrastructure is damaged or destroyed. These losses can also result in loss of jobs, loss of economic stability, and loss of services (e.g., power). The more vulnerable the community is to these types of losses, the greater the economic vulnerability to a disaster. The ability of the community to influence policy makers to reduce vulnerabilities is critical. A disaster entails political impacts. After a disaster has struck, a community often turns to its politicians when looking for guidance. Vulnerabilities may be considered in terms of the individual, the location, the capacity to respond, and the time of day, week, or year. The definition of vulnerability is “the susceptibility of people, property, industry, resources, ecosystems, or historic buildings and artifacts to the negative impact of a disaster.” The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) conducted a risk assessment to determine vulnerabilities in their jurisdictions. Vulnerabilities within each participating jurisdiction are specified in the individual annexes. Below is an overview of vulnerabilities within Tarrant County, including national critical facilities, federally protected species, historic properties, and local critical facilities and infrastructure. 3.5.1 National Critical Facilities and Infrastructure A critical facilities and infrastructure provides services and functions essential to a community, especially during and after a disaster. For a critical facility to function, building systems and equipment must remain operational. Furthermore, it must be supplied with essential utilities (typically power, water, waste disposal, and communications, but occasionally natural gas and steam). According to the Department of Homeland Security, there are 16 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof. x Chemical Sector x Commercial Facilities Sector x Communication Sector x Critical Manufacturing Sector x Dams Sector x Defense Industrial Base Sector x Emergency Services Sector x Energy Sector x Financial Services Sector x Food and Agriculture Sector x Government Facilities Sector x Healthcare and Public Health Sector x Information Technology Sector x Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste Sector x Transportation Sector x Water and Wastewater Systems Sector dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϳϮ Critical facilities and infrastructure on a national scale impact the participating jurisdictions in Tarrant County and the entire United States. While many of these facilities and infrastructure are documented in the regional Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA), the following sites are unique national critical facilities located in a few of the participating jurisdictions. EPA National Priorities List of Superfund Sites The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Superfund program is responsible for cleaning up some of the nation’s most contaminated land and responding to environmental emergencies, oil spills, and natural disasters. To protect public health and the environment, the Superfund program focuses on making a visible and lasting difference in communities, ensuring that people can live and work in healthy, vibrant places. The EPA National Priorities List (NPL) is the list of sites of national priority among the known releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants throughout the United States and its territories. The NPL is intended primarily to guide the EPA in determining which sites warrant further investigation.15 According to the list, there are two superfund sites in Tarrant County. They are identified by yellow diamonds in the map below: The following pictures reflect the details of the two superfund sites in Tarrant County. 15 Superfund: National Priority List (NPL).

All species on the county list are tracked in the Texas Natural Diversity Database (TXNDD). Species include birds, fishes, mammals, mollusks, and reptiles.16 This list is provided in Appendix B. Currently, there are no regional plans related to the future of North Texas’ natural assets of habitat, plants, animals, open space areas and corridors, tree canopy or carbon footprint. This includes Tarrant County. There are studies of particular topics that have been conducted for other purposes. For example, the Environmental Impact Statement of an individual project considers the project’s impact on endangered species. Also, there are studies underway on particular topics but for smaller areas within the North Texas region.17 Under Section 12.0011 of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is charged with "providing recommendations that will protect fish and wildlife resources to local, state, and federal agencies that approve, permit, license, or construct developmental projects" and "providing information on fish and wildlife resources to any local, state, and federal agencies or private organizations that make decisions affecting those resources." Project types reviewed by TPWD include reservoirs, highway projects, pipelines, urban infrastructure, utility construction, renewable energy, and residential and commercial construction, as well as many others. 3.5.3 Historic Buildings and Districts Historic landmarks and districts are important to consider when evaluating vulnerabilities to hazards. What is historic, and worth saving, varies with the beholder. “Historic” applies to a building that’s part of a community’s tangible past. Creating and expanding historic districts can increase property values, strengthen neighborhoods, provide an incentive for rehabilitating historic buildings, and promote a sense of neighborhood and community pride. According to the Texas Historic Sites Atlas, Tarrant County has 124 cemeteries, 32 museums, and 392 historical markers listed in the atlas. There are also 6 state antiquities landmarks, 115 national register properties, and 6 courthouses on the list.18 There is a list of historic sites in Tarrant County from the National Register of Historic Places located in Appendix B. 3.5.4 Local Critical Facilities and Infrastructure This hazard mitigation action plan (HazMAP) provides enough information regarding critical facilities to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions. However, some information may be deemed highly sensitive and should not be made available to the public. Information jurisdictions consider sensitive should be treated as an addendum to the mitigation plan so that it is still a part of the plan, but access can be controlled. 16 Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Wildlife Division, Diversity and Habitat Assessment Programs.

The Stafford Act directs hazard mitigation plans to describe hazard mitigation actions and establish a strategy to implement those actions. Therefore, all other requirements for a hazard mitigation plan lead to and support the mitigation strategy. Individual jurisdictions adopted specific goals and strategies based on the needs of the jurisdiction. The following mitigation action items have been ranked by the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT). The HMPT went through a ranking process to determine which strategies they would prioritize for completion. To identify priorities, jurisdictions considered the scope and impact of action and completed a cost-benefit analysis for each action. Each participating jurisdiction recommended strategies that would benefit either the jurisdiction or the county as a whole. All project cost estimations are based on agency expertise by those submitting mitigation actions as well as previous project costs; however, many projects provided have not yet undergone the official benefit- cost analysis provided by FEMA. In these cases, jurisdictions derived the benefit cost per project based on a study conducted by the National Institute of Building Science. This study estimates that past 23 years of federally funded natural hazard mitigation has prevented approximately one million nonfatal injuries, 600 deaths, and 4,000 cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a total cost savings of $68 billion. The key findings of the report included that $1 spent on mitigation saves society an average of $6, with positive benefit-cost ratios for all hazard types studied.19 Therefore, to reflect the benefits of future projects, each estimated project was multiplied by 6 to represent the benefit of each mitigation strategy. Utilizing this information, in addition to their jurisdiction’s priorities, jurisdictions ranked their mitigation strategies and submitted them to the HMPT. 4.2 Funding Priorities As necessary, Tarrant County and participating jurisdictions will seek outside funding sources to implement mitigation projects in both the pre-disaster and post-disaster environments. When applicable, potential funding sources have been identified for proposed actions listed in the mitigation strategies. Funding priority will go toward action items with the high positive impact on community resilience as measured by the action’s scope and cost-benefit analysis. 4.3 Mitigation Goals The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team reviewed the previous Tarrant County mitigation goals and unanimously agreed to forego these goals and adopt the following hazard mitigation goals: “Our goals are to protect life and reduce bodily harm from natural hazards, and to lessen the impacts of natural hazards on property and the community through hazard mitigation.” 19 Multihazard Mitigation Council (2017) Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves 2017 Interim Report: An Independent Study.

All pertinent information that is not identified in this annex is identified in the other sections of this HazMAP or within the respective appendices. 1.3 Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HazMAP) Adoption Once the Tarrant County HazMAP has received the designation “Approved Pending Local Adoption” from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Town of Westlake will take the HazMAP to Town Council for final public comment and local adoption. A copy of the resolution will be inserted into the HazMAP and held on file at the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). 1.4 Supporting Maps The following maps provide an overview of the Town of Westlake: x Development Activities Map x Land Use Plan Map x Parks and Open Space Plan Map x Residential Subdivisions Map x Planned Developments Map dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ dŽǁŶŽĨtĞƐƚůĂŬĞŶŶĞǆ &&Ͳϱ dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶdŽǁŶŽĨtĞƐƚůĂŬĞŶŶĞǆ&&Ͳϲ dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶdŽǁŶŽĨtĞƐƚůĂŬĞŶŶĞǆ&&Ͳϳ dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶdŽǁŶŽĨtĞƐƚůĂŬĞŶŶĞǆ&&Ͳϴ dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶdŽǁŶŽĨtĞƐƚůĂŬĞŶŶĞǆ&&Ͳϵ dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶdŽǁŶŽĨtĞƐƚůĂŬĞŶŶĞǆ&&ͲϭϬ Chapter 2: Planning Process (In compliance with 201.6(c)(1)) 2.1 Development and Adoption Process To apply for federal aid for technical assistance and post-disaster funding, local jurisdictions must comply with Part 201.3 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) implemented in the Federal Code of Regulations 44 CRF Part 201.6. While the Town of Westlake has historically implemented measures to reduce vulnerability to some hazards, passage of DMA 2000 helped town officials recognize the benefits of a long-term approach to hazard mitigation. This approach is achieved by a gradual decrease of hazard- associated impacts through the implementation of a hazard mitigation action plan (HazMAP). The town’s involvement in the Tarrant County HazMAP represents the collective efforts of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) members, all participating Local Planning Team (LPT) members, the public, and stakeholders. The town developed this annex in accordance with Part 201.6(c)(5) of DMA 2000. This HazMAP and annex identifies hazards and mechanisms to minimize damages associated with these hazards. 2.2 Organizing the Planning Effort A comprehensive approach was taken in developing the HazMAP. An open involvement process was established for the public and all stakeholders, which provided an opportunity for everyone to be involved in the planning process and make their views known. The public meeting was advertised with notices in the local newsletter and on social media. Two teams worked simultaneously on this Tarrant County HazMAP: 1.Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT): This team consisted of points of contact from each participating jurisdiction. The HMPT met to discuss county-wide topics, including hazards and mitigation strategies. The points of contact were the leads of their Local Planning Team (LPT). 2.Local Planning Team (LPT): Each jurisdiction had a LPT that consisted of the Emergency Management Coordinator for that jurisdiction as well as designated representatives from within the jurisdiction. This team met to assess capabilities, hazards, and mitigation strategies within the jurisdiction. 2.2.1 Local Planning Team (LPT) This annex within the Tarrant County HazMAP was developed by the Town of Westlake’s Local Planning Team (LPT), with support from the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). The efforts of the LPT were led by the town’s Emergency Management Coordinator. The LPT was assembled in 2017 with representatives from the Town of Westlake. The town acted as the plan development consultant, providing hazard mitigation planning services. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ dŽǁŶŽĨtĞƐƚůĂŬĞŶŶĞǆ &&Ͳϭϭ Town of Westlake Local Planning Team (LPT) Members for the ϮϬϮϬ,ĂǌDW Jurisdiction Agency/Organization Position Role in LPT Town of Westlake Fire/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department Emergency Management Coordinator General oversight, hazard identification, and plan development Town of Westlake Fire/EMS Department Fire Chief Hazard identification and plan development Town of Westlake Fire/EMS Department Deputy Fire Chief Hazard identification and plan development Town of Westlake Fire/EMS Department Assistant Emergency Management Coordinator Hazard identification and plan development Town of Westlake Public Works Department Public Works Director Hazard identification and plan development Town of Westlake Economic Development Assistant to Town Manager Hazard identification and plan development In addition, NCTCOG’s Emergency Preparedness Department participated in the following activities associated with development, approval, and adoption of the plan: 1.Prepared, based on community input and LPT direction, the first draft of the plan and provided technical writing assistance for review, editing, and formatting. 2.Submitted proposed plan to the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for review and approval and completed any edits requested by these organizations. 3.Coordinated plan adoption processes with the town, TDEM, and FEMA. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ dŽǁŶŽĨtĞƐƚůĂŬĞŶŶĞǆ &&ͲϭϮ Chapter 3: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (In compliance with 201.6(c)(2)(i), 201.6(c)(2)(ii), 201.6(c)(2)(ii)(A), 201.6(c)(2)(ii)(B), 201.6(c)(2)(ii)(C), 201.6(c)(2)(iii), and 201.6(c)(3)(ii)) The following information serves to assist the town in determining and prioritizing appropriate mitigation action items to reduce losses from identified hazards. 3.1 Changes in Development since 2015 (In compliance with 201.6(d)(3)) Increasing Vulnerability New development in hazard-prone areas: There has been no recorded change since 2015.

Risk, for the purposes of hazard mitigation planning, is the potential for damage or loss created by the interaction of natural hazards with community assets. If a natural hazard does not and could not impact the Town of Westlake in any way, not applicable (N/A) is used as its rank and its reasoning is noted in the hazard profile section of this chapter. Rank of Risk Natural Hazard 1 Thunderstorm (includes hail, wind, lightning) 2 Tornado 3 Wildfire 4 Winter Storms 5 Flooding 6 Extreme Heat 7 Drought 8 Earthquake 9 Expansive Soils The following terms are used to describe the geographic area affected, probability of future occurrence, and the maximum probable extent. Geographic Area Affected Negligible: Less than 10 percent of planning area. Limited: 10 to 25 percent of planning area. Significant: 25 to 75 percent of planning area. Extensive: 75 to 100 percent of planning area. o Planning area refers to the entire Town of Westlake. Probability of Future Occurrence Unlikely: Event possible in next 10 years. Occasional: Event possible in next 5 years. Likely: Event probable in next 3 years. Highly Likely: Event probable in next year. Maximum Probable Extent (Magnitude/Strength of Hazard using the following extent scale) Minor: Limited classification on scientific scale, slow speed of onset or short duration of event. Medium: Moderate classification on scientific scale, moderate speed of onset or moderate duration of event.

They may be designed with one or several piers. Low water bridges generally have greater capacity and are able to pass higher flows underneath the driving surface than most vented and unvented fords. Vented fords have a driving surface elevated some distance above the streambed with culverts (vents) that enable low flows to pass beneath the roadbed. The vents can be one or more pipes, box culverts, or open-bottom arches. In streams carrying large amounts of debris, the driving surface over the vent may be removable, permitting debris to be cleared after a large flow event. National Flood Insurance Program Compliance Participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is based on a voluntary agreement between a community and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). For communities that adopt a floodplain management ordinance to reduce flood risks to new construction, federally backed flood insurance is made available to property owners in the community. Compliance with the NFIP, however, extends beyond mere participation in the program. The three basic components of the NFIP include: 1) floodplain identification and mapping risk, 2) responsible floodplain management, and 3) flood insurance. The Town of Westlake is a participant in the NFIP and provides details about the community and their participation below.

The Stafford Act directs local mitigation plans to describe hazard mitigation action and establish a strategy to implement those actions.1 Therefore, all other requirements for a local mitigation plan (or hazard mitigation action plan) lead to and support the mitigation strategy. 5.1 Mitigation Goals The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) collectively reviewed the extensive list of mitigation goals of the 2015 Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HazMAP) and unanimously chose to streamline the mitigation goals for this update. Therefore, the new goals are to protect life and reduce bodily harm from natural hazards, and to lessen the impacts of natural hazards on property and the community through hazard mitigation. 5.2 2015 Action Items The Town of Westlake’s action items in the 2015 Tarrant County HazMAP were determined by the 2015 Local Planning Team (LPT).

These actions include mitigation actions that qualify for mitigation funding as well as enforcement, maintenance, and response actions that the city has identified as opportunities to increase their resiliency to hazards. During the capabilities assessment and hazard analysis, previously impacted assets and populations were analyzed to determine the highest probability of damage and potential of loss of life per hazard. As $1 spent in mitigation saves a community an average of $6 in recovery 2, we used this data to develop a cost- benefit analysis: Estimated Cost x 6 = Estimated Benefit. Priority will go towards projects with the highest positive impact on community resilience, including life safety and property protection. Below are the action items for this HazMAP.

The following steps will be taken in implementing this HazMAP into local plans: 1. Change is proposed by an elected official or other interested party. 2. Proposal is placed on the local agenda of the governing body. 3. Agenda is published at least 10 days in advance of the meeting at which it will be discussed, so members of the public have an opportunity to attend the discussion meeting. Publication may be made by posting the agenda on the city’s website, in the city newsletter, or on a public bulletin board. 4. Proposal is discussed at the public meeting, including any comments by members of the public attendance. 5. Proposal is voted on by the governing body. 6. If the proposal is passed, the change is implemented by the appropriate local authority. Existing planning mechanisms in which the HazMAP will be integrated are listed below.

The plan was submitted to the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for approval. It is expected that all participating jurisdictions will formally adopt the plan by resolution once the “Approved Pending Adoption” designation is received by FEMA, in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. Each jurisdiction participating in this plan is responsible for implementing specific mitigation actions as prescribed in the mitigation strategies. In each mitigation strategy, every proposed action is assigned to a specific local department or agency in order to assign responsibility and accountability and increase the likelihood of subsequent implementation. This approach enables individual jurisdictions to update their unique mitigation strategy as needed without altering the broader focus of the county-wide plan. The separate adoption of locally-specific actions also ensures that each jurisdiction is not held responsible for monitoring and implementing the actions of other jurisdictions involved in the planning process. The Tarrant County Emergency Management Coordinator or their designee is the lead position for plan implementation and will work with the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) to ensure mitigation actions are implemented into jurisdictional planning procedures. Each participating jurisdiction will implement the plan and their individual mitigation actions in the timeframe appropriate for their planning processes. As necessary, the HMPT will seek outside funding sources to implement mitigation projects in both the pre-disaster and post-disaster environments. When applicable, potential funding sources have been identified for proposed actions listed in the mitigation strategies. 6.2 Evaluation All members of the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) will be responsible for ensuring that the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HazMAP) is evaluated as required. Specifically, the Tarrant County Emergency Management Coordinator, or their designee, will convene the HMPT and ensure an evaluation is conducted in a thorough manner. This evaluation will include analysis of current mitigation projects, evaluation of success, reevaluation of future mitigation needs, and prioritization based upon changes in needs and/or capabilities of Tarrant County. The HMPT will reconvene annually to ensure that projects are on track and to reevaluate the mitigation goals, objectives, and action items. The mitigation plan shall be viewed as an evolving, dynamic document. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϴϯ 6.3 Multijurisdictional Strategy and Considerations Tarrant County will lead activities for mitigation planning county-wide. Although Tarrant County will be responsible for maintaining this plan, including the documentation of in-progress and completed action items, each participating jurisdiction is responsible for reporting hazards, their costs, and a status report on mitigation actions to the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for recording in the plan. Each jurisdiction is responsible for completing mitigation activities by providing the capabilities and authorities needed to carry out activities. Participating jurisdictions completed an analysis of their current legal, staffing, and fiscal capabilities as they relate to hazard mitigation planning. Jurisdictional capabilities and authorities identified to ensure successful mitigation planning are located within the jurisdictional annexes. 6.4 Plan Update The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires that the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan be updated at least once every five years. During this process, all sections of the plan will be updated with current information, and analyses and new and/or modified mitigation actions will be developed. The revised plan will be submitted for state and federal review and approval and presented for approval to the Tarrant County Commissioners Court and the respective councils of incorporated cities included in this HazMAP. Likewise, each participating jurisdiction will undergo the same process for reviewing, revising and updating their respective plans and submitting them for approval by state, federal, and the local jurisdiction’s governing body. The plan will be updated every five years in accordance with federal requirements. Tarrant County’s Emergency Management Coordinator or their designee will be responsible for ensuring that this requirement is met. Tarrant County and the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team will review the HazMAP annually for needed updates. The HMPT will be involved in this process to ensure all jurisdictions provide input into the planning process. The public will be invited to participate in this process through public hearings. 6.5 Plan Maintenance It is the intention of all documented plan participants to formally adopt the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan after each maintenance revision. Once all participants adopt the changes, the revised HazMAP and proof of adoption will be submitted to the Texas Division of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The plan will be revised and maintained as required under the guidance of the HazMAP and formally adopted by Tarrant County and jurisdiction elected officials after each revision. Following formal adoption Tarrant County’s Commissioners Court, and formal adoption of the plan by the governing council of each participating jurisdiction, the actions outlined in the HazMAP will be implemented by the county and participating jurisdictions as described throughout this document. The Tarrant County Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC), or their designee, is responsible for ensuring the HazMAP and its components are monitored, evaluated, and reviewed semiannually by the responsible personnel. The EMC will use email to request the monitoring activities noted below be implemented and changes documented. The progress of action items will be tracked electronically as “in progress,” “deferred,” or “completed.” dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϴϰ These and other changes affecting the plan will be documented within the Tarrant County HazMAP file and identified as updates. Updates will be shared between participants by email or in a meeting (if deemed appropriate) twice a year, and included in annual evaluations and reviews, and five-year update of the plan. The lead of each Local Planning Team (LPT) is responsible for e nsuring their mitigation annex is monitored, evaluated, and reviewed on an annual basis. This will be accomplished by calling an annual meeting of the LPT and HMPT, whose members will provide assistance and expertise for plan review, evaluation, updates, and monitoring. This meeting will be open to the public and public notices will encourage community participation. During this annual meeting, the LPT point of contact will provide information and updates on the implementation status of each action item included in the plan. As part of the evaluation, the LPT will assess whether goals and objectives address current and expected conditions, whether the nature and/or magnitude of the risks have changed, if current resources are appropriate for implementing the HazMAP, whether outcomes have occurred as expected, and if agencies and other partners participated as originally proposed. These activities will take place according to the following timetable: Responsible Personnel Activity Update Schedule LPT Point of Contact Monitoring Plan: track implementation and action items, changes to risk assessment, changes to Local Planning Team (LPT), changes to capabilities, and plan integrations. Twice a year Evaluate Plan: assess effectiveness by evaluating completed actions, implementation processes, responsible personnel, and lessons learned. Annually Update Plan Once every five years At least once every five years, or more frequently if such a need is determined by the participants, the HazMAP will undergo a major update. During this process, all sections of the plan will be updated with current information and analyses and new and/or modified mitigation action plans will be developed. The revised plan will be submitted for review and approval to the Texas Division of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency and presented to the governing council for approval and adoption. The plan will be updated every five years in accordance with regulations. 6.6 Continued Public Involvement As stated in Requirement 201.6(c)(4)(iii), the plan maintenance process shall include a discussion on how the community will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Ongoing public participation will be encouraged throughout the entire planning and implementation process. A copy of the plan will be provided on the jurisdiction’s websites and/or in the office of the LPT point of contact. Annual meetings held for monitoring, evaluating, and updating the HazMAP will be open to the public and public notices will encourage community participation. Public participation will be sought throughout the implementation, evaluation, and maintenance of the HazMAP. This participation will be sought in a multitude of ways, including but not limited to periodic presentations on the plan’s progress to elected officials, schools, or other community groups; annual questionnaires or surveys; public meetings; and postings on social media and interactive websites. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϴϱ 6.7 Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms The primary means for integrating mitigation strategies into other local planning mechanisms will be through the revision, update, and implementation of each jurisdiction’s individual plans that require specific planning and administrative tasks (for example, plan amendments, ordinance revisions, and capital improvement projects). The members of the HMPT will remain charged with ensuring that the goals and strategies of new and updated local planning documents for their jurisdictions are consistent with the goals and actions of the Tarrant County HazMAP and will not contribute to increased hazard vulnerability in Tarrant County or its participating jurisdictions. During the planning process for new and updated local planning documents, such as a comprehensive plan, capital improvement plan, or emergency management plan, Tarrant County and its participating jurisdictions will provide a copy of the Tarrant County HazMAP to the appropriate parties and recommend that all goals and strategies of new and updated local planning documents are consistent with and support the goals of the Tarrant County HazMAP and will not contribute to increased hazards in the affected jurisdiction(s). The following steps will be taken in implementing this HazMAP into local plans: 1. Change is proposed by an elected official or other interested party. 2. Proposal is placed on the local agenda of the governing body. 3. Agenda is published at least 10 days in advance of the meeting at which it will be discussed, so members of the public have an opportunity to attend the discussion meeting. Publication may be made by posting the agenda on the city’s website, in the city newsletter, or on a public bulletin board. 4.

This data, when used in conjunction with the updated information about hazard threats and vulnerabilities, will prove to be invaluable to Tarrant County and its participating jurisdictions. Natural hazards have been identified county-wide and technological hazards have been listed for selected jurisdictions that opted to include these hazards. Mitigation projects that could reduce the risk of lives and property due to the identified threats have been compiled and prioritized. The creation of the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) brought together stakeholders from communities and organizations onto one planning team. This group has been able to work together effectively and efficiently to produce this document and establish a greater awareness of risks and mitigation strategies. In addition to the HMPT, the creation of the Local Planning Team (LPT) in each jurisdiction brought together stakeholders and departments within the jurisdiction onto one planning team. This group was able to work together effectively and efficiently to produce jurisdictional data for this document and establish a greater awareness of risks and mitigation strategies. This plan will continue to evolve as necessary to properly represent the threats and vulnerabilities affecting Tarrant County. Continued public participation is encouraged and will continue through the ongoing multijurisdictional hazard mitigation process. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϴϳ This page intentionally left blank. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϴϴ Appendix A: Meeting Documentation The following pages in Appendix A include the public meeting announcements and attendance records from the participating jurisdictions. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϴϵ Public Announcements City of Arlington Arlington city website. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ ϵϬ City of Azle The City of Azle hosted a public meeting on September 18, 2018 at the Azle Fire Department.

Project types reviewed by TPWD include reservoirs, highway projects, pipelines, urban infrastructure, utility construction, renewable energy, and residential and commercial construction, as well as many others. During project planning, and prior to construction, project areas should be surveyed for potential habitat for rare species as described on the following list. If potential habitat for a rare species is found, construction impacts to these areas should be avoided to the greatest extent practicable. If a rare species is found on a project, TPWD recommends contacting the Wildlife Habitat Assessment Program (WHAB) for additional guidance. Rare species are those native Texas species considered to be imperiled throughout a significant part of their range. Rare species are not protected by state or federal law. However, TPWD actively promotes their conservation in an effort to prevent future endangerment and need to propose for listing. Identifying the potential for adverse impacts to rare species and taking steps to avoid or minimize them on projects helps to further this goal. Below is the TPWD Annotated County Lists of Rare Species in Tarrant County. TARRANT COUNTY Last Updated: 12/30/2016 BIRDS Federal Status State Status American Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus anatum DL T Year-round resident and local breeder in west Texas, nests in tall cliff eyries; also, migrant across state from more northern breeding areas in US and Canada, winters along coast and farther south; occupies wide range of habitats during migration, including urban, concentrations along coast and barrier islands; low-altitude migrant, stopovers at leading landscape edges such as lake shores, coastlines, and barrier islands. Arctic Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus tundrius DL Migrant throughout state from subspecies’ far northern breeding range, winters along coast and farther south; occupies wide range of habitats during migration, including urban, concentrations along coast and barrier islands; low-altitude migrant, stopovers at leading landscape edges such as lake shores, coastlines, and barrier islands. BIRDS Federal Status State Status Bald Eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus DL T Found primarily near rivers and large lakes; nests in tall trees or on cliffs near water; communally roosts, especially in winter; hunts live prey, scavenges, and pirates food from other birds. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ Ϯϴϴ BIRDS Federal Status State Status Henslow's Sparrow Ammodramus henslowii Wintering individuals (not flocks) found in weedy fields or cut-over areas where lots of bunch grasses occur along with vines and brambles; a key component is bare ground for running/walking. Interior Least Tern Sterna antillarum athalassos LE E Subspecies is listed only when inland (more than 50 miles from a coastline); nests along sand and gravel bars within braided streams, rivers; also know to nest on man-made structures (inland beaches, wastewater treatment plants, gravel mines, etc); eats small fish and crustaceans, when breeding forages within a few hundred feet of colony. Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus DL T Both subspecies migrate across the state from more northern breeding areas in US and Canada to winter along coast and farther south; subspecies (F. p. anatum) is also a resident breeder in west Texas; the two subspecies’ listing statuses differ, F.p. tundrius is no longer listed in Texas; but because the subspecies are not easily distinguishable at a distance, reference is generally made only to the species level; see subspecies for habitat. Red Knot Calidris canutus rufa T Red knots migrate long distances in flocks northward through the contiguous United States mainly April-June, southward July-October. A small plump-bodied, short-necked shorebird that in breeding plumage, typically held from May through August, is a distinctive and unique pottery orange color. Its bill is dark, straight and, relative to other shorebirds, short-to-medium in length. After molting in late summer, this species is in a drab gray-and-white non-breeding plumage, typically held from September through April. In the non-breeding plumage, the knot might be confused with the omnipresent Sanderling. During this plumage, look for the knot’s prominent pale eyebrow and whitish flanks with dark barring. The Red Knot prefers the shoreline of coast and bays and also uses mudflats during rare inland encounters. Primary prey items include coquina clam (Donax spp.) on beaches and dwarf surf clam (Mulinia lateralis) in bays, at least in the Laguna Madre. Wintering Range includes- Aransas, Brazoria, Calhoun, Cameron, Chambers, Galveston, Jefferson, Kennedy, Kleberg, Matagorda, Nueces, San Patricio, and Willacy. Habitat: Primarily seacoasts on tidal flats and beaches, herbaceous wetland, and Tidal flat/shore. Sprague's Pipit Anthus spragueii Only in Texas during migration and winter, mid-September to early April; short to medium distance, diurnal migrant; strongly tied to native upland prairie, can be locally common in coastal grasslands, uncommon to rare further west; sensitive to patch size and avoids edges. Western Burrowing Owl Athene cunicularia hypugaea Open grasslands, especially prairie, plains, and savanna, sometimes in open areas such as vacant lots near human habitation or airports; nests and roosts in abandoned burrows. Whooping Crane Grus americana LE E Potential migrant via plains throughout most of state to coast; winters in coastal marshes of Aransas, Calhoun, and Refugio counties. dĂƌƌĂŶƚŽƵŶƚǇ,ĂǌĂƌĚDŝƚŝŐĂƚŝŽŶĐƚŝŽŶWůĂŶ Ϯϴϵ FISHES Federal Status State Status Shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus T Open, flowing channels with bottoms of sand or gravel; spawns over gravel or rocks in an area with a fast current; Red River below reservoir and rare occurrence in Rio Grande. MAMMALS Federal Status State Status Gray wolf Canis lupus LE E Extirpated; formerly known throughout the western two-thirds of the state in forests, brushlands, or grasslands. Plains spotted skunk Spilogale putorius interrupta Catholic; open fields, prairies, croplands, fence rows, farmyards, forest edges, and woodlands; prefers wooded, brushy areas and tallgrass prairie. Red wolf Canis rufus LE E Extirpated; formerly known throughout eastern half of Texas in brushy and forested areas, as well as coastal prairies. MOLLUSKS Federal Status State Status Louisiana pigtoe Pleurobema riddellii T Streams and moderate-size rivers, usually flowing water on substrates of mud, sand, and gravel; not generally known from impoundments; Sabine, Neches, and Trinity (historic) River basins. Sandbank pocketbook Lampsilis satura T Small to large rivers with moderate flows and swift current on gravel, gravel-sand, and sand bottoms; east Texas, Sulfur south through San Jacinto River basins; Neches River. Texas heelsplitter Potamilus amphichaenus T Quiet waters in mud or sand and also in reservoirs. Sabine, Neches, and Trinity River basins. Texas pigtoe Fusconaia askewi T Rivers with mixed mud, sand, and fine gravel in protected areas associated with fallen trees or other structures; east Texas River basins, Sulphur River, Cypress Creek, Sabine through Trinity rivers as well as San Jacinto River.

Whether a disaster impacts a major community museum, a historic "main street," or collections of family photographs, the sudden loss of historic properties and cultural resources can negatively impact a community's character and economy, and can affect the overall ability of the community to recover from a disaster. According to the Texas Historic Sites Atlas, Tarrant County has 124 cemeteries, 32 museums, and 392 historical markers. There are also 6 state antiquities landmarks, 115 national register properties, and 6 courthouses. The following sites, from the National Register of Historic Places, are located within Tarrant County, are exposed to the identified hazards, and could potentially experience severe damage if directly impacted. These sites keep the history of the community alive. They are reminders of a jurisdiction’s culture and complexity. Once a piece of history is destroyed, it is lost forever. ¾Allen Chapel AME Church (added 1984 - - #84000169) 116 Elm Street, Fort Worth Historic Significance: Architecture/Engineering Architect, builder, or engineer: Reed, William & Sons, Pittman, William Sidney Architectural Style: Other, Late Gothic Revival Area of Significance: Architecture Period of Significance: 1900-1924 Owner: Private Historic Function: Religion Historic Sub-function: Religious Structure Current Function: Religion Current Sub-function: Religious Structure ¾American Airways Hanger and Administration Building (added 2008 - - #08000317) 201 Aviation Way, Fort Worth Historic Significance: Event, Architecture/Engineering Architect, builder, or engineer: Epstein, A., Byrne, Thomas S.
