5.         Resolution No. 06-10-2 - Adoption of the Orange County Regional Water and Wastewater Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (Reference Material Included)

 

Staff will review and comment on the Orange County Regional Water and Wastewater Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (HAZMIT Plan).  El Toro Water District and 19 other water and wastewater agencies in the County collaborated to complete a Regional HAZMIT Plan.  A Hazard Mitigation Plan is a pre-disaster strategic plan written to guide how agencies can lower risk and exposure during disasters.  Jurisdictions like the water and wastewater agencies participating in the Regional HAZMIT Plan, are dedicated to ensuring service to their customers and to safeguarding those services when disaster strikes.  An approved HAZMIT Plan helps meet that goal.  In addition, participating jurisdictions become eligible to receive Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants, which can ease the financial impacts of emergency preparedness planning and response.

 

Recommended Board Action:  Staff recommends that the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. 06-10-2 approving the Orange County Regional Water and Wastewater Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, subject to incorporation of comments, if any, by the State Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency upon completion of their review and direct staff to prepare a letter to WEROC certifying adoption.
