' Y Why include GI in a Hazard Mitigation Plan? GI is based on natural practices Over the last century, advances in technology have moved communities to embrace gray _ infrastructure. Gray infrastructure is not working. Especially in rapidly developing areas, _ we see more and more - - localized flooding due to the increase in impervious = Y- surface cover. April 24,2007 Objectives of this study To study the feasibility of integrating GI/ LID in Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan ( NHMP) for green belt jurisdiction . analysis of the current status of NHMP, GI/LID ordinances/regulations working with stakeholder groups developing tools (GIS) to enhance GI/LID adoption in NHMP developing recommendation for the implementation of the GI/LID NHMPs Stakeholders Traditional : Emergency managers, public works, fire specialists, and law enforcement This project adds : Natural resources managers, floodplain specialists and water quality specialists Increase communications between the stakeholders that traditionally work with FEMA and TDEM and stakeholders that work with EPA and TCEQ/TSSWCB 0 8 MILES RAY ROBERT1 LAKE • • • C00KE STATE PARK i3 GRAYS0N uris dlctlons - -51 --_ - LR_____}._._. m___._____ ,__ 9z ---_--- - • Pilot Point 2450 Union 455 980' ! a 45Hill 119� Ray Roberts Town of Argyle City of LR 455 anger 2164 �m !
