The Regional Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit A, is hereby adopted by reference as fully as if herein set forth as the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan for the City of Edmonds. Section 2. The City Clerk is hereby authorized to forward a certified copy of this resolution and the plan to the Federal Emergency Management Agency in accordance with its requirements. {WSS584196.DOC;1/00006.900000/} - 1 - RESOLVED this 16`h day of November, 2004. APPROVED: MAY R, 6t7VHAAKENSON ATTEST/AUTHENTICATED: ejo CITY CLERK, SANDRA S. CHASE FILED WITH THE CITY CLERK: 11/12/2004 PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL: 11/16/2004 RESOLUTION NO. 1074 {WSS584196.DOC;1/00006.900000/} - 2 - Edmonds The City of Edmonds is.located in the southwest corner of Snohomish County, about 14 miles north of Seattle. It has a population of about 39,460' people residing on about 8.9 square miles, or 5,717 acres, of land. The City is about 95% developed. Of the remaining undeveloped land, about 75% is designated for single-family residential use. Edmonds' commercial activity is concentrated in two areas: the Downtown/Waterfront and the Highway 99 corridor. The latter includes Stevens Hospital and the medical facilities affiliated with the Hospital. This Hospital region provides critical facilities, and restoring routes to and from the Hospital will be a priority in any disaster. The City of Edmonds is a key link in the region's transportation routes. The City has three state routes that connect the region to both the Port of Edmonds and the site of the Edmonds -Kingston Ferry Terminal. The former provides mooring for approximately 1,000 boats and watercraft. The latter is located in the Downtown/Waterfront core and provides a steady stream of vehicles and ferry -commuters into the area. The Burlington -Northern Railroad runs adjacent to the City's shoreline and links Everett to Edmonds to the north and Seattle to the south. The rail line is currently used for freight and AMTRAK passenger rail service; approximately 35 trains pass through the City each day. Conflict between nortb-south rail traffic and east -west access to the waterfront and its regional facilities (ferry, port, and parks) is an ongoing concern for its potential effect on response and recovery activities in emergency situations. For a list of critical facilities located in Edmonds, see Annex C. Hazard Identification The City of Edmonds uses a GIS system, but is currently limited in the information and functions available within that system. County base information is included in the City's GIS system, plus local zoning and Comprehensive Plan information. GIS development is an ongoing project and will be expanded in the future as funds for training and personnel allow. At some point in the future, the City plans to incorporate HAZUS as well, but resources have not been identified for this project - within the foreseeable future. Based on past experience, GIS data, and hazard maps from the Department of Natural Resources and FEMA, Edmonds rates its risk of natural hazards as follows: North King and South Snohomish Counties Section III — Multi -Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan III - 83 Edmonds June 2004 HAZARD RATING (out of 80possible) Drought 07 Earthquake 45 Flood 100- ear 12 Urban 12 Landslide 14 Severe Storm 48 Tsunami & Seiche 08 Volcano 08 Wildland Urban Interface Fire 05 Drought Rating: 7 Drought is not considered to be a high -risk hazard for Edmonds. The City's potable water is supplied by the Cities of Seattle and Everett via Alderwood Water District and is relatively stable for short-term (one season) droughts. Citizens may be asked to take conservation measures and limit lawn watering, but the City will still receive adequate potable water for its needs. At greater risk are Lake Ballinger and the streams running through the City of Edmonds. Even a short-term drought is likely to reduce water levels in Lake Ballinger and the City's streams. Reduced water levels lead to higher water temperatures which, in turn, may make the streams uninhabitable for salmon and other aquatic organisms downstream. With several species of salmon listed as "endangered" or "threatened," this could delay recovery efforts. The City of Edmonds considers the threat of drought to be VERY LOW. Earthquake Rating: 45 Edmonds is located in Seismic Zone 3, between several fault lines, and earthquakes are therefore considered to be a significant risk for the City. As discussed in this document's HIVA, earthquakes occur in Washington State on an almost daily basis. While most quakes are minor, seismologists tell us that we can expect a deep or intraplate earthquake at a magnitude of 7.0 about every 70 years and an 8.0 or greater subduction quake every 150 to 1,100 years. Based on.this information, when a major earthquake occurs in the region, the City can expect significant damage, injuries, and possibly deaths. This is due in part. to North King and South Snohomish Counties Section X — Multi -Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan III - 84 Edmonds June 2004 the relatively dense concentration of both buildings and people in about 8.9 square miles. Depending on the time and day -of the week, a particularly vulnerable facility could be the South County Senior Center due to liquefaction potential. This organization provides services to senior citizens on a daily basis and may have as many as 300 people participating in programs at any given time. There also are also two major restaurants that daily serve the waterfront. Secondary effects of an earthquake can include tsunami or seiche as well as landslides and soil displacement. Edmond's risk from earthquake is MODERATE. Flood Rating: 12 The City contains the following creeks and watersheds within the City limits: Body of Water Shell Creek Willow Creek Shellabarger Creek Northstream Creek Fruitdale Hindley Creek Perrinville Creek Goodhope Pond Lake Ballinger Description - 753 acre watershed, plus 527 acres of overflow in the winter months. 434 acres 354 acres 248 acres 2.43 acres 178 acres 805 acres 474.acre watershed Shared with the City of Mountlake Terrace In addition, a portion of the city is located on Puget Sound. As a result, the City of Edmonds experiences floods from three separate types of events: 100-year flooding, urban .flooding, high tides, and shoreline flooding. I00-Year Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS), with an effective date of November 8, 1999, were developed for the City. These include panel numbers 1285, 1305, and 1575. These maps identify areas along the shoreline as "Zone AE," and establishes base flood elevations. Other areas, further inland, are identified as "Zone A," recognized as part of the 100-year floodplain, but no base flood elevations are established. Additionally, the maps identify several areas as part of the 500-year floodplain. North King and South Snohomish Counties Section III —Multi -Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan I11- 85 Edmonds June 2004 Approximately 90 lots, encompassing 129.6 acres, lie within the 100-year floodplain. The affected property is valued at $43,987,080. No critical buildings are located in the affected area. The City of Edmonds has incorporated the information as provided by the FIRMs in the development of the City's Comprehensive Plan. As a result, the City restricts building in these areas. Urban Urban flooding is a semi -regular occurrence in the City of Edmonds. This is caused by excessive rainfall or snowmelt which overwhelms the stormwater system, wetlands, lake, and streams. In general, urban flooding is intensified by the increasing amount of impervious surface as surrounding jurisdictions and areas upstream develop and Edmonds continues to in -fill. Shoreline Shoreline properties may experience flooding as part of the 100-year or urban flooding events. In addition, storm events are often accompanied by significant wave action, and this can intensify the flooding experienced along the Edmonds shoreline if this coincides with high tide cycles. Edmond's overall hazard rating for flooding is LOW. Landslide and Soil Displacement Rating: 14 The City of Edmonds has several areas with steep slopes and one designated landslide hazard area. These are the primary areas that may experience landslide. To mitigate for this hazard, the City has enacted a very strict ordinance that governs development, enforces current building codes, and requires soil testing and soil stabilization techniques as necessary. Nevertheless, it is still possible for soil saturation or liquefaction to cause a landslide to occur with the right combination of factors and circumstances. Edmonds could also experience soil displacement in conjunction with the creeks that run through the City. In the case of a heavy or excessive stream -flow, it is possible that the movement of the water could erode and destabilize portions of the creek banks. Excessive rainfall or snowmelt or a major earthquake are possible contributors to a landslide or soil displacement event. North King and South Snohomish Counties Section III — Multi -Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan III - 86 Edmonds June 2004 Having identified the hazard and assessed the possible risks, Edmonds considers landslide to be a LOW risk. Severe Storm Rating: 48 The City of Edmonds is subjected to severe storms on a regular basis. Windstorms occur nearly every winter, and rainstorms are not unusual. While rarer, the City has also experienced heavy snows and freezing rains. Winds and snow or ice regularly cause tree branches to break and/or trees to fall. This may cause power outages or damage buildings. As mentioned in the discussion of floods (above), severe rain or snowstorms can also be associated with and compound the severity of flood events. The Inaugural Day Storm in 1993 had winds of 66 mph. This storm interrupted power to the City for more than three days. Branches and trees were downed and laid across streets, roads, and yards. City facilities were relatively unscathed, but fences were blown over, and houses received damage from both branches and the wind itself. Since the majority of damage occurred on private property, damage totals are not available. In the winter of late 1996/early 1997, the City and region experienced a significant snowfall following by drenching rain. This resulted in mudslides and required the City of Edmonds Public Works crews to plow snow and remove mud and debris. Funds in the amount of $83,685 were approved by FEMA for clean- up and debris removal as a result of this storm event. The level of risk from Severe Storms is 48, or MODERATELY -HIGH. Tsunami & Seiche Rating: 8 As mentioned in the Earthquake section, the South County Senior Center may be occupied by as many as 300 people at any given time. In addition, the Edmonds waterfront has two large restaurants and a marina which may be occupied by several hundred more people. These facilities are located directly on the Puget Sound waterfront, making them a prime concern during a tsunami event. Another area of concern is the Edmonds Ferry Terminal. This facility handles two state ferries that run up to 28 ferry trips each day. During periods of heavy traffic volume, the dock could be fully loaded with 60 vehicles, and the ferry's passenger waiting lanes may have as many as 300 additional vehicles within a North King and South Snohomish Counties, Section III —Multi-Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan III - 87 Edmonds June 2004 mile of the dock. During peak traffic periods, as many as 600 walk-on passengers may be in the dock area. Located on the Puget Sound coast, Edmonds is potentially vulnerable to tsunami, though the likelihood of this occurring is VERY LOW on the rating scale. Volcano Rating: 8 The City of Edmonds is unlikely to suffer direct damage from a volcano eruption. In the event of an eruption, Edmonds may experience ashfall, which can interfere with the operation of motor vehicles and back=up generators, require expensive clean-up efforts by the City, and cause respiratory distress to the citizens. The City is highly unlikely to experience any lava flow, lahar activity, or any of the other risks associated with volcanoes. A secondary effect of a volcano eruption is the influx of refugees into the area. This may be an issue to the City, and the region as a whole, as resources are overwhelmed by numbers of people that the infrastructure is not designed to handle. This.includes everything from roads and highways, water and electric utilities, to the regional hospital. Overall, the level of risk from a volcanic eruption is VERY LOW. Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Rating: 5 Wildland-urban interface fire is a concern to Edmonds due to the parks, wetlands, greenbelts, and undeveloped land parcels that are scattered throughout the City. The threat -is in inverse proportion to the amount of rainfall in the region. When rain is scarce, the fire threat increases. During the summer of 2003, new records were set for number of days without rain. As a result, Edmonds and the north King and south -Snohomish Counties region experienced several fires next to the freeway (I-5) that were caused by improperly extinguished cigarettes or sparks from machinery, being operated next to dry grass. These fires were quickly contained and suppressed, but the close proximity of houses to these wildland areas, and the relative density of the housing units and wood shake roofs, makes wildland-urban interface fires a risk during periods of drought or excessive dryness. Offsetting the risk of fire, the region is very well developed and has adequate infrastructure to address this hazard. Fire stations are placed strategically, and are within a 4-minute average response time anywhere in the area. Additionally, North King and South Snohomish Counties Section III - Multi -Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan III - 88 Edmonds June 2004 interlocal agreements are in place with the surrounding jurisdictions to allow for the nearest available unit to respond to any call for fire suppression. The City of Edmonds considers the level of risk from wildland-urban interface fire to be VERY LOW.

North King and South Snohomish Counties Section III — Multi -Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan III - 90 Edmonds June 2004 Mitigation Existing and Ongoing Mitigation Activities The City of Edmonds is taking the following actions in ongoing efforts to mitigate for natural hazards and to maintain public safety. All Hazards • The City of Edmonds is a member of the Emergency Services Coordinating Agency (ESCA). As a member, Edmonds receives emergency management planning, coordination, and response services. As part of its preparation and mitigation services, ESCA provides education in the form of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. This training is provided to the citizens of the member Cities and Towns. The goal is to -prepare people to be self-sufficient for as much as three days after a major disaster until safety personnel can get to them. CERT also provides the students with suggestions and training for personal mitigation projects such as securing water heaters and attaching tall, heavy furniture to the wall. • The City updated the fire alann system. • Edmonds rebuilt the public safety buildings to meet current building code requirements. • The City completely upgraded the electrical wiring at the Francis.

Earthquake • Edmonds' City Hall was retrofitted for seismic reinforcement in 1997. • The City of Edmonds encourages voluntary seismic upgrade to properties. • The City of Edmonds is aware of and supports the Washington State Ferry System's emergency management protocols: the Safety Management System. This system establishes: • "Drop, cover, and hold" policies during an earthquake. • As soon as the shaking stops, ferry vessels are moved away from the docking areas and taken %2 to 1 mile away from the beach. • Cars and foot passengers are evacuated from the dock and directed to move uphill and away from the shore. • Personnel and passengers wait a minimum of half an hour — longer if a threat of tsunami is established — before anyone is allowed back into the dock area. • Before ferry operations are resumed, trained staff conduct a safety inspection of the docks and associated facilities. If there is no damage, operations may resume. Flood • The City of Edmonds restricts development in the floodway. These restrictions are codified in ECDC 19.75.050C. • Evaluated and set elevation requirements for new residential and non- residential structures in the floodplain area. • Identify alteratives to reduce development in the floodplain. • The City of Edmonds is primarily vulnerable to urban flooding. To minimize damage from this hazard, Edmonds has several City -owned and —operated detention systems to provide drainage control. The City also has several open detention ponds to manage stormwater flows. Landslide • To mitigate for landslide, the City of Edmonds relies on the adoption and enforcement of current building codes. In addition, the City has established building requirements to mitigate for Meadowdale landslide hazards. North King and South Snohomish Counties Section III — Multi -Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan III - 93 Edmonds June 2004 • The City maintains the drainage system in the Meadowdale landslide area to minimize build-up of water that could erode the embankments. • . The Critical Areas Ordinance provides guidelines for, and places restrictions on, development in hazard -prone areas. Severe Storm • The City of Edmonds has an ongoing program to restore and replace bulkhead on the waterfront to minimize damage from wave action during a severe storm. • The Comprehensive Stormwater Plan and Capital Improvement Plan are maintained in accordance with State guidelines and are used both to develop policies and as a financial management tool. The City uses these plans to maintain and enhance stormwater systems in order to minimize the effects of severe storms and the secondary effects of these storms: flooding and landslide. • As part of the Comprehensive Stormwater Plan and Capital Improvement Plan, culverts have been inventoried and mapped. Drainage problems are identified and included in the Capital Improvement Plan for future work. • Edmonds rebuilt the waterfront bulkheads to replace deteriorated wood. This reduces wave damage and shoreline erosion. Tsunami and Seiche • As discussed above, the City of Edmonds is aware of and supports the Washington State Ferry System's emergency management protocols: the Safety Management System. If a tsunami was expected, the Washington Ferry System's personnel would: Move the vessel(s) away from the docking areas and take the ferries '/2 to. I mile away from the beach. • Evacuate cars and foot passengers from the dock areas and direct all traffic to move uphill and away from the shore. • Before ferry operations are resumed, trained staff will conduct a safety inspection of the docks and associated facilities. If there is no damage, operations may resume. Volcano • None at this time. Wildland-Urban Interface Fire • Maintain right-of-way to minimize dry grasses and undergrowth. • Ban the use of fireworks within the City. North King and South Snohomish Counties Section III — Multi -Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan III - 94 Edmonds June 2004 Mitigation Action Items The Mitigation Plan identifies short- and long-term action items developed through data collection, research, and the public participation process. Mitigation Plan activities may be considered for funding through federal and state grant programs and when other funds are made available through the budgeting process or the passage of bonds. Action items address multi -hazard (MH) or hazard -specific issues. Upon implementation, the coordinating organizations may look to partner organizations for resources and technical assistance. To help ensure activity implementation, each action item includes several pieces of information in the description. These include: • Coordinating Organization The coordinating organization is that which is willing and able to organize resources, find appropriate funding, or oversee activity implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The coordinating organizations may be local or regional agencies. Organizations written in italics are not participating in this Plan but have an established relationship with this jurisdiction. • Timeline Action items include both long- and short-term activities. Each action item includes an estimate of the timeline for implementation. Short-term action items (ST) are. activities that organizations may implement with existing resources and authorities within one to two years. Long-term action items (LT) may require new or additional resources or authorities, and may take between two and five years to implement. • Ideas for Implementation Each action it includes ideas for implementation. This may be individual steps for one project, or it may be several related projects that address the natural hazard. •. Plan Goals Addressed The plan goals are identified to monitor and evaluate how well the Mitigation Plan is achieving its goals once implementation begins. • Benefit -to -Cost Review Due to limitations in staff time, and because project priorities may shift based on changes in funding options and local events, a generalized benefit -to -cost review is used. The steps associated with prioritizing the mitigation projects are as follows: North King and South Snohomish Counties Section III =Multi -Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan I11- 95 Edmonds June 2004 I. The jurisdiction rates the project cost as "high," "medium," or "low" in relation to budget and previous projects, and each rating is assigned a numerical value. 2. The project outcome is then rated as "low," "medium," or "high," and each of these ratings is assigned a numerical value. 3. The two values are added together, and the total provides the cost - benefit and the priority. Example: If a project has a medium approximate cost, and is considered to be highly effective, the boxes would be marked as shown below. Approx Cost + Effectiveness = Priority [ ] 1 — High [ ] 1 —Low [ ] 2 —Lowest [X] 2 — Medium [ ] 2 — Medium [ j 3 [ ]3—Low [X] 3 — High - [ ] 4 [X] 5 [ ] 6 - Highest The priority ratings with the highest numbers are considered to be the highest priorities. As always, however, these are subject to financial realities and may not be carried out in the exact order indicated.. North King and South Snohomish Counties Section III — Multi -Jurisdictional Breakouts Regional Mitigation Plan III - 96 Edmonds June 2004 MULTI -HAZARD MITIGATION ACTION ITEMS (MH) ST-01-MH-ED: Replace water mains to maintain and/or enhance critical functions; minimize damage or breakage from natural hazards such as earthquakes or landslides; and ensure adequate water pressure to be effective in fire suppression. Ideas for implementation: • The City of Edmonds is replacing steel line water mains with ductile iron pipe mains. This replacement cycle will be completed by 2008. • Beginning in 2008-2009, the City will begin replacing cast iron water mains with ductile iron or as required by current codes or technology. • The 138 miles of water mains are scheduled to be replaced at a rate of 1 % per year.
