All-Hazard Mitigation Plan 2016 Update

All-Hazard Mitigation Plan 2016 Update

Below is a link to the 5-year update of the All-Hazard Mitigation Plan.  The AHMP is directed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  In the end the City’s AHMP becomes a part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough AHMP.  The purpose of the 67 page document is to identify Homer’s hazards as in: floods, wildfires, landslides, bad weather, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and coastal erosion.  The plan also outlines strategies to mitigate these risks.  New in this update is Section J:  Man-Made/Technological Disasters.  Addressing our growing dependence on technology is the first step in determining the effects caused by hazardous materials, a radiological incident, bombing, civil disturbances, and power failures.
