The City applied for the grant after discussion with the Kenai Historical Society. The historical cabins in Old Town Kenai have been repeatedly burglarized. Dummy cameras have not solved the issue. Real cameras with heaters would allow the City to monitor the cabins and catch potential trespassers. In the past, cabin break-ins have left the doors flung open in winter, causing damage to the structures and the artifacts inside the cabin. It is expected that the money will be used to install five (5) security cameras with heated enclosures and wireless viewing of the security footage. The City of Kenai in cooperation with the Kenai Historical Society will maintain the security cameras once they are installed. The City has experience using security cameras to monitor crimes with the annual dipnet fishery. Several cameras monitor the beaches every year during the fishery and have been used successfully to deter crime and catch offenders. If City Council enacts Ordinance 3101-2020, the City would accept the funds from the Rasmuson Foundation and move forward to purchase and install the security cameras. Thank you for your consideration. Page 7 Kenai City Council - Regular Meeting Page 8 of 391 February 05, 2020 Item Attachment Documents: 2.

Ordinance 3102-2020 would enact applicable changes to follow this pattern for the Planning and Zoning Commission meetings. Ordinance 3102-2020 would reduce the newspaper posting requirement from twice to once for Planning and Zoning Commission public hearings. This would provide a cost savings to the City and would still exceed minimum notification requirements of the State of Alaska. The requirements for posting on public bulletin boards, placing a sign on the subject property, and mailing postcards to neighboring property owners would not change. Posting on the City’s website is also required pursuant to Policy 2016-01. Below shows actual expenditures to the newspaper on Planning and Zoning Commission meeting notifications for the past three fiscal years. If this ordinance is adopted, it is anticipated cost savings will be 50%. Year Cost FY19 $2,543.98 FY18 $4,826.39 FY17 $4,321.72 Totals: $11,692.09 I recommend the City Council request a recommendation for Ordinance 3102-2020 from the Planning and Zoning Commission at their January 22, 2020 meeting before Ordinance 3102-2020 is on the agenda for enactment at the February 5, 2020 City Council meeting. Thank you for your consideration. Page 12 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner DATE: January 28, 2020 SUBJECT: Ordinance 3102-2020 – Amending Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.280, Public Hearings and Notifications. ____________________________________________________________________________ Attached to this memorandum is a copy of Resolution No. PZ2020-01. The Planning and Zoning Commission passed Resolution No. PZ2020-01 at their meeting on January 22, 2020 recommending the Kenai City Council enact Ordinance 3102-2020, Amending Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.280 Public Hearings and Notifications, to Reduce the Newspaper Posting Requirement. The State of Alaska Open Meetings Act (AS 44.62.310) requires that a public entity's governing body be open to the public and that the body provide reasonable notice of its meetings. The Act requires that the public entity must provide "reasonable" notice that includes the date, time, and place of the meeting; is provided within a reasonable amount of time prior to the meeting; is posted at the principal office of the public entity, in addition to any other methods and locations stated in local ordinance; and is done in the same way each time (consistent). The City’s requirements of public notice by local ordinance still far exceed the minimum State requirement to post notice of the public meeting at the principal office of the public entity. I am including this information for the Kenai City Council as the Planning and Zoning Commissioners asked for additional clarification on State minimum requirements and if a printed newspaper posting was required by them. Please amend the last Whereas clause in Ordinance No. 3102-2020 as follows: WHEREAS, the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission recommended enaction of Ordinance 3102-2020 at their meeting on January 22, 2020. Thank you for your consideration. Page 13 CITY OF KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.

Introduction This section provides a brief introduction to hazard mitigation planning, associated grants, and  a description of this 2019 Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) for the City of Kenai (City).    HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING Hazard mitigation, as defined in Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section  §201.2, is “any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long‐term risk to people and  property from natural hazards and their effects.  Hazard mitigation is the only phase of  emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage reconstruction  and repeated damage. As such, States and Local governments are encouraged to take  advantage of funding provided by Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs.” (FEMA,  2015c).  Hazard mitigation is any work done to minimize the impacts of any type of hazard  event before it occurs and aims to reduce losses from future disasters. Hazard mitigation is a  process in which hazards are identified and profiled, people and facilities at risk are analyzed,  and mitigation actions are developed. Implementation of mitigation actions, which include  long‐term strategies such as planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities,  is the end result of this process.  PLANNING REQUIREMENTS 1.2.1 Local Mitigation Plans On October 30, 2000, Congress passed the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) (P.L.  106‐390) which amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act  (Stafford Act) (Title 42 of the United States Code [USC] 5121 et seq.) by repealing the act’s  previous mitigation planning section (409) and replacing it with a new mitigation planning  section (322). Section 322 directs State and Local entities to closely coordinate mitigation  planning and implementation efforts. Additionally, it establishes the HMP requirement for the  Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) HMA.   On October 2, 2015, FEMA published the Mitigation Planning Final Rule in the Federal Register,  [Docket ID: FEMA‐2015‐0012], 44 CFR Part 201, effective November 2, 2015. Planning  requirements for Local entities are described in detail in Section §201.6.  Locally‐adopted and  FEMA‐approved HMPs qualify jurisdictions for several HMA grant programs.  This 2019 HMP for  the City complies with Title 44 CFR Section §201.6 and applicable FEMA guidance documents as  well as the 2018 State of Alaska HMP by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs  (DMVA) Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHS&EM).  Section 322 of the Stafford Act (42 USC 5165) as amended by P.L. 106‐390 provides for State  and Local governments to undertake a risk‐based approach to reducing risks to natural hazards  through mitigation planning.  The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (42 USC 4001 et seq.) as  amended, further reinforces the need and requirement for HMPs, linking Flood Mitigation  Assistance (FMA) programs to State and Local HMPs.  This change also requires participating  National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities’ risk assessments and mitigation  strategies to identify and address repetitively flood‐damaged properties.  GRANT PROGRAMS WITH MITIGATION PLAN REQUIREMENTS FEMA HMA grant programs provide funding to Local entities that have a FEMA‐approved HMP.  Two of the grants are authorized under the Stafford Act and DMA 2000, while the remaining  Page 33 Introduction 2 three are authorized under the National Flood Insurance Act and the Bunning‐Bereuter‐ Blumenauer Flood Insurance Reform Act. As of June 19, 2008, the grant programs were  segregated. The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) is a competitive, disaster‐funded  grant program whereas the other Unified Mitigation Assistance Programs (Pre‐Disaster  Mitigation [PDM] and FMA, although competitive) rely on specific pre‐disaster grant funding  sources, sharing several common elements.  “The DHS&EM FEMA HMA grant programs present a critical opportunity to  protect individuals and property from natural hazards while simultaneously  reducing reliance on Federal disaster funds. The HMA programs provide PDM  grants annually. The statutory origins of the programs differ, but all share the  common goal of reducing the loss of life and property due to natural hazards.  The PDM program is authorized by the Stafford Act and focuses on mitigation  project and planning activities that address multiple natural hazards, although  these activities may also address hazards caused by manmade events. The FMA  program is authorized by the National Flood Insurance Act and focuses on  reducing claims against the NFIP” (FEMA, 2019h).  1.3.1 Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Unified Programs The HMGP provides grants to Local entities to implement long‐term hazard mitigation  measures after a major disaster declaration. The purpose of the HMGP is to reduce the loss of  life and property due to natural disasters and to enable mitigation measures to be  implemented during the immediate recovery from a disaster. Projects must provide a long‐term  solution to a problem; for example, elevation of a home to reduce the risk of flood damages as  opposed to buying sandbags and pumps to fight the flood. In addition, a project’s potential  savings must be more than the cost of implementing the project. Funds may be used to protect  either public or private property or to purchase property that has been subjected to, or is in  danger of, repetitive damage. The amount of funding available for the HMGP under a particular  disaster declaration is limited. FEMA may provide a State or Local entity with up to 20% of the  total aggregate disaster damage costs to fund HMGP project or planning grants. The cost‐share  for this grant is 75% Federal/25% non‐Federal.  The PDM grant program provides funds to Local entities for hazard mitigation planning and  mitigation project implementation prior to a disaster event. PDM grants are awarded on a  nationally‐competitive basis. Like HMGP funding, a PDM project’s potential savings must be  more than the cost of implementing the project. In addition, funds may be used to protect  either public or private property or to purchase property that has been subjected to, or is in  danger of, repetitive damage. The total amount of PDM funding available is appropriated by  Congress on an annual basis. In Fiscal Years (FY) 2016 and 2017, PDM program funding totaled  approximately $90 million each year. The cost‐share for this grant is 75% Federal/25% non‐ Federal.  The goal of the FMA grant program is to reduce or  eliminate flood insurance claims under the NFIP.  Particular emphasis for this program is placed on  mitigating repetitive loss properties. The primary source of funding for this program is the  The City of Kenai does not  participate in the NFIP.  Page 34 Introduction 3 National Flood Insurance Fund. Grant funding is available for three types of grants, including  Planning, Project, and Technical Assistance. Project grants, which use the majority of the  program’s total funding, are awarded to States and Local entities to apply mitigation measures  to reduce flood losses to properties insured under the NFIP. In FY 2016, FMA funding totaled  $199 million. In FY 2017, FMA funding totaled $160 million.  The cost‐share for this grant is 75%  Federal/25% non‐Federal.  HMP DESCRIPTION The remainder of this HMP consists of the following sections and appendices:   Prerequisites   Section 2 addresses the prerequisites of plan adoption, which includes adoption by the City  Council. The adoption resolution is included in Appendix F.   Community Description  Section 3 provides a general history and background of the City, including historical trends for  population and the demographic and economic conditions that have shaped the area.   Planning Process  Section 4 describes the planning process and identifies the Project Team Members, the  meetings held as part of the planning process, and the key stakeholders within the City. In  addition, this section documents public outreach activities (Appendix A) and the review and  incorporation of relevant plans, reports, and other appropriate information.  Hazard Analysis  Section 5 describes the process through which the Project Team identified, screened, and  selected the hazards to be profiled in this 2019 HMP. The hazard analysis includes the  characteristics, history, location, extent, impact, and recurrence probability statements of  future events for each hazard. In addition, historical and hazard location figures are included.  Vulnerability Analysis  Section 6 identifies potentially vulnerable assets—people, residential and nonresidential  buildings, critical facilities, and critical infrastructure—in the City. The resulting information  identifies the full range of hazards that the City could face and potential social impacts,  damages, and economic losses.  Land use and development are also discussed.  Mitigation Strategy  Section 7 defines the mitigation strategy which provides a blueprint for reducing the potential  losses identified in the vulnerability analysis. The Project Team developed a list of mitigation  goals and potential actions to address the risks facing the City. Mitigation actions include  preventive actions, property protection techniques, natural resource protection strategies,  structural projects, emergency services, and public information and awareness activities.   Plan Maintenance   Section 8 describes the Project Team’s formal plan maintenance process to ensure that the  2019 HMP remains an active and applicable document. The process includes monitoring,  evaluating (Appendix E), and updating the HMP; implementation through existing planning  mechanisms; and continued public involvement.  Page 35 Introduction 4 References

Community Description This section describes the location, history, demographics, and economy of the City.  LOCATION Kenai is located on  the western coast of  the Kenai Peninsula  in Southcentral  Alaska, fronting Cook  Inlet. It lies on the  western boundary of  the Kenai National  Wildlife Refuge, on  the Kenai Spur  Highway. It is  approximately 65 air  miles and 160  highway miles  southwest of  Anchorage via the  Sterling Highway at  approximately  60.5537 North  Latitude and ‐151.2546 West Longitude.  Kenai is located in the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB)  Recording District (Department of Community, Commerce, and Economic Development  [DCCED], Division of Community and Regional Affairs [DCRA], 2019).  The City covers approximately 29.9 square miles of land and 5.6 square miles of water. Kenai  falls within the gulf coast transitional climate zone, characterized by a semi‐arid atmosphere;  long, cold winters; and mild summers.  Summer temperatures typically range from 46 to 65  degrees Fahrenheit (°F), and winter temperatures from 4 to 22°F. Annual precipitation is 20  inches.  Kenai’s northern climate is tempered by Upper Cook Inlet to the west and the Kenai  Mountain Range to the south and east.  Average wind speeds are 7.8 miles per hour (mph)  (WeatherSpark, 2019).  HISTORY Prior to Russian settlement, Kenai was a Dena'ina Athabascan village. Russian fur traders first  arrived in 1741. At that time, about 1,000 Dena'ina lived in the village of Shk'ituk't, near the  river. The traders called the people "Kenaitze" or "Kenai people." In 1791, a fortified Russian  trading post, Fort St. Nicholas, was constructed for fur and fish trading. It was the second  permanent Russian settlement in Alaska. In 1849, the Holy Assumption Russian Orthodox  Church was established by Egumen Nicholai. In 1869, the U.S. Military established a post for the  Dena'ina in the area, called Fort Kenay, which was abandoned in 1870 after Alaska was  purchased by the U.S. A post office was established in 1899. Through the 1920s, commercial  fishing was the primary activity. In 1940, homesteading enabled the area to develop. The first  Page 38 Community Description 7 dirt road from Anchorage was constructed in 1951. In 1957, oil was discovered at Swanson  River, 20 miles northeast of the City ‐ the first major Alaska oil strike. The City was incorporated  in 1960. In 1965, offshore oil discoveries in Cook Inlet fueled a period of rapid growth. After  rapid increases during the economic booms of the 1960s through the 1980s, population growth  in Kenai began to stabilize by 2000, with more long‐term residents and a generally older  population.  Several other communities, such as Soldotna, Nikiski, Kasilof, and Sterling, are  within 20 miles of the City, giving the northwest peninsula a population of roughly 34,000.   Kenai has been a growing center for oil exploration, production, and services since that time.   DEMOGRAPHICS The 2010 U.S. Census recorded 7,100 residents for the City.  The 2016 American  Community Survey (ACS) recorded 7,551 residents, of which the median age was 37,  indicating a relatively young population that is expected to continue increasing as  depicted in Figure 1. Over 74% of the population is 18 years of age or older (ACS, 2016).    The City is a blended community.  About 77% of residents recognize themselves as  White, 11% of residents recognize themselves as Alaska Native, and 8% recognize  themselves as two or more races. The percentage of males is 51.6%, and the percentage  of females is 48.4%. The 2010 U.S. Census indicated that there are 3,508 households with  the average household having approximately three individuals.    Figure 1. Kenai’s Historic Population Page 39 Community Description 8 ECONOMY The City of Kenai’s economic well‐being is closely tied to general economic conditions in the  Kenai/Soldotna area.  This area continues to be the trade and service center for the western  Kenai peninsula and a local government center.  The area has an industrial base and a healthy  visitor industry centered on the recreational fisheries of the Kenai River and Cook Inlet.  According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the median household income for the City was $58,732.  Approximately 991 individuals (14%) were reported to be living below the poverty level. The  potential work force (those aged 16 years or older) for the City was estimated to be 5,820, of  which 3,716 were actively employed.   The Kenai River is a major sport fishing location for Anchorage residents and tourists. The river  is world‐renowned for trophy king and silver salmon. The Kenaitze (Tanaina Athabascans) live  borough‐wide and utilize the rich resources of Cook Inlet.      Page 40 Planning Process 9 4. Planning Process This section provides an overview of the planning process; identifies the Planning Team  members and key stakeholders; documents public outreach efforts; and summarizes the review  and incorporation of existing plans, studies, and reports used to develop this HMP.  Additional  information regarding the Planning Team and public outreach efforts is provided in Appendix A.  Requirements for the planning process, as stipulated in DMA 2000 and its implementing  regulations, are described below.  DMA 2000 Requirements: Planning Process Local Planning Process Requirement §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. Element  Does the plan provide a narrative description of the process followed to prepare the plan?  Does the plan indicate who was involved in the planning process?  Does the plan indicate how the public was involved?  Does the plan discuss the opportunity for neighboring communities, agencies, businesses, academia, nonprofits, and other interested parties to be involved in the planning process?  Does the planning process describe the review and incorporation, if appropriate, of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information? Source: FEMA, 2015. OVERVIEW OF PLANNING PROCESS The DMVA DHS&EM provided funding and project oversight to LeMay Engineering &  Consulting, Inc. Ms. Jennifer LeMay, PE, PMP guided the Hazard Mitigation Project Team to  assist the City with development of the HMP.  The following five‐step process occurred from August through December 2019.  1. Organize resources: Members of the Hazard Mitigation Project Team identified  resources, including staff, agencies, and local community members, who could provide  technical expertise and historical information needed in developing the HMP.  2. Assess risks: The Hazard Mitigation Project Team identified hazards specific to the City  and developed a risk assessment for the identified hazards, including the vulnerability  analysis, prior to and during the development of the mitigation strategy.  3. Assess capabilities: The Hazard Mitigation Project Team reviewed current administrative  and technical, legal and regulatory, and fiscal capabilities to determine whether existing  provisions and requirements adequately address relevant hazards.  4. Develop a mitigation strategy: After reviewing the risks posed by each hazard, the  Hazard Mitigation Project Team developed a comprehensive range of potential  mitigation goals and actions based on hazard events.  Goals were then integrated into  mitigation actions and were then prioritized based on community concerns with the top  three hazards being fire, erosion of the Kenai Bluffs, and earthquakes.    Page 41 Planning Process 10 5. Monitor, evaluate, and update the HMP: The Hazard Mitigation Project Team developed  a process to monitor the HMP to ensure it will be used as intended while fulfilling  community needs. The Hazard Mitigation Project Team then developed a process to  evaluate the HMP on a yearly basis to compare how their decisions affect hazard  impacts. They then outlined a method to share their successes with community  members to encourage support for mitigation activities and to provide data for  incorporating mitigation actions into existing planning mechanisms and providing data  for the HMP’s five‐year update.  Opportunities are described in the Continued Public  Involvement Section of this HMP (Section 8).  HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING TEAM Table 1 lists the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team members and contact information.     Table 1.

On October 25, 2019, the City advertised in the Peninsula Clarion, a newspaper for the KPB with  regional circulation. The newspaper advertisement contained the agenda for the October 30,  2019 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting as Item A: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT:   Page 42 Planning Process 11 Mechanism Description   Jennifer LeMay, LeMay Engineering & Consulting, Inc. to discuss the City of Kenai Local Hazard  Mitigation Plan.  This advertisement is contained in Appendix A.  Newsletter #1  Distribution (November  8, 2019)  On November 8, 2019, the City distributed a newsletter describing the Draft 2019 HMP’s  availability and identifying a 30‐day public comment period. The newsletter encouraged the  community to provide comments and was posted at the City Hall, the Post Office, and the Kenai  Community Library.  The newsletter also invited the community to a December 4, 2019 City  Council meeting for a public hearing on the HMP.  The newsletter was posted on the City’s  website, City Facebook page, and read on radio to the KPB population.   Public Notice, dated  November 29, 2019  On November 29, 2019, the City advertised in the Peninsula Clarion, a newspaper for the KPB  with regional circulation. The newspaper advertisement contained the date of the December 4,  2019 City Council meeting but did not contain the agenda.    Radio and Video The December 4, 2019 City Council meeting was broadcast via radio to the KPB, and a video of  the meeting was posted on the City’s website.    The 2010 KPB HMP included an annex which identified the City of Kenai’s hazards.  In 2019, the  City of Kenai chose to have its own standalone HMP.  Rather than begin the process at the  stakeholder level, it was necessary for a rough draft to be developed which could be used by  the community to provide constructive feedback.  LeMay Engineering & Consulting, Inc.  developed a standalone HMP with consultation from the City Planner.  The Hazard Mitigation  Planning Team fine‐tuned the HMP via email and met on October 30, 2019 from 2‐4 pm to  further discuss input into the HMP.    On October 30, 2019 at 7 pm, Jennifer LeMay gave a hazard mitigation planning presentation as  an agenda item for the regularly scheduled Planning and Zoning Commission meeting (see  Appendix A for meeting attendees, agenda, Powerpoint© presentation slides, minutes, and trip  report).  Hazards were confirmed, the risk assessment was summarized, and mitigation actions  were presented.   The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended sending the HMP to the  City Council.  A 30‐day public comment period began on November 8, 2019 to allow the community the  opportunity to read the HMP and provide comments.  The Draft HMP was posted on the City’s  web page.  A newsletter was also posted at City Hall, the Post Office, and the Kenai Community  Library notifying the public of the availability of the Draft HMP and inviting the public to provide  comments.  Neighboring communities were invited to participate with an advertisement in the Peninsula  Clarion, a newspaper for the KPB with regional circulation.  The City Council meeting was  broadcast via radio and youtube to Kenai residents and residents of neighboring communities,  and a video of the meeting was posted on the City’s website.  The KPB was also provided with  the opportunity to comment (see Appendix A).  City personnel with the authority to regulate development were involved with the Draft HMP  development and included the Fire Marshal, Airport Director, Public Works Director, and City  Planner as well as the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Planning Department.  On December 4, 2019 at 6 pm, Jennifer LeMay presented an HMP summary as an agenda item  for the regularly scheduled City Council meeting (see Appendix A for meeting attendees,  agenda, Powerpoint© presentation slides, minutes, and trip report).  A public hearing was held,  Page 43 Planning Process 12 and comments are summarized in the trip report in Appendix A. The meeting was broadcast via  radio, and a video of the meeting was posted on the City’s website.  The HMP was updated based on public comments.  This updated document known as the Draft  HMP was then submitted to DHS&EM for review before being submitted to FEMA for  evaluation.  INCORPORATION OF EXISTING PLANS AND OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION During the planning process, the Hazard Mitigation Project Team reviewed and incorporated  information from existing plans, studies, and reports into the HMP. The following were  reviewed and used as references for the jurisdiction information and hazard profiles in the risk  assessment (see Section 6) of the HMP:   Draft KPB Comprehensive Plan, 2019:  provides the goals, visions, and conditions of  the KPB.  Kenai is a city within the KPB.  

Hazard Profiles This section identifies and profiles the hazards that could potentially affect the City.  OVERVIEW OF A HAZARD ANALYSIS A hazard analysis includes the identification, screening, and profiling of each hazard. Hazard  identification is the process of recognizing the natural events that threaten an area. Natural  hazards result from unexpected or uncontrollable natural events of sufficient magnitude. Even  though a particular hazard may not have occurred in recent history in the study area, all‐natural  hazards that may potentially affect the study area are considered; the hazards that are unlikely  to occur or for which the risk of damage is accepted as being very low, are eliminated from  consideration.  Human and Technological, and Terrorism‐related hazards are beyond the scope  of this HMP.  Hazard profiling is accomplished by describing hazards in terms of their characteristics, history,  location, extent, breadth, magnitude, frequency, and recurrence probability. Hazards are  identified through the collection of historical and anecdotal information, review of existing  plans and studies, and preparation of hazard maps of the study area. Hazard maps are used to  determine the geographic extent of the hazards and define the approximate boundaries of the  areas at risk.  HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND SCREENING Requirements for hazard identification, as stipulated in DMA 2000 and its implementing  regulations, are described below.  DMA 2000 Requirements: Risk Assessment: Identifying Hazards Identifying Hazards Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(i): The risk assessment shall include a] description of the type, location, and extent of all-natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. The plan shall include information on previous occurrences of hazard events and on the probability of future hazard events. Element  Does the plan include a description of the types of all-natural hazards with the potential to affect the jurisdiction?  Does the risk assessment identify the location (i.e., geographic area affected) of each natural hazard addressed in the plan?  Does the risk assessment identify the extent (i.e., breadth, magnitude, or severity) of each hazard addressed in the plan?  Does the plan provide information on previous occurrences of each hazard?  Does the plan include recurrence probability statements of future events (i.e., chance of occurrence) for each hazard addressed? Source: FEMA, 2015.   For the first step of the hazard analysis, the Hazard Mitigation Project Team reviewed possible  hazards that could affect the City according to the 2018 State of Alaska HMP (DHS&EM, 2018a).  They then evaluated and screened the comprehensive list of potential hazards based on a range  of factors, including prior knowledge or perception of their threat and the relative risk  presented by each hazard, the ability to mitigate the hazard, and the known or expected  availability of information on the hazard (see Table 3). The Hazard Mitigation Project Team  determined that the hazards that have the potential to impact the City include: changes in the  Page 45 Hazard Profiles 14 cryosphere, earthquakes, flood/erosion, volcanic ashfall, severe weather, and wildland/  conflagration fires. The remaining hazards excluded through the screening process were  considered to pose a lower threat to life and property in the City due to the low likelihood of  occurrence or the low probability that life and property would be significantly affected.   Table 3. Identification and Screening of Hazards Hazard Type  Should It  Be  Profiled?  Explanation  Changes in the  Cryosphere Yes  Changes in the cryosphere is designated as a hazard in the 2018 State of  Alaska HMP.  The City suffers from “silent storms” where high‐water storm  surges erode and undercut the banks.  This hazard is included under  floods/erosion in Section 5.3.  Both sea ice and river ice collect at the toe of  the Kenai Bluffs during the winter months, although to what extent is  dependent on temperatures, wind direction and intensity, tides, and ice  concentration in Cook Inlet (USACE, 2018).    Earthquakes Yes  Earthquakes are designated as a hazard in the 2018 State of Alaska HMP with  a high probability of occurring in the KPB.  The 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake  and resulting tsunami caused significant damage in Seldovia.  Land subsidence  within the KPB occurred in Seward, Homer, Hope, and Seldovia, where some  of the most drastic subsidence dropped land six feet.  The City was relatively  undamaged in the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake.  The 2018 earthquake that  was centered in the Matanuska‐Susitna Borough caused damage to the City  dock and wellhouse.  Floods/Erosion Yes  Flooding is designated as a hazard in the 2018 State of Alaska HMP with a  high probability of occurring in the KPB.  The 2017 FEMA Risk Report did not  identify flooding as a concern for the City; the Wastewater Treatment Plant  was identified in the report as having the potential to be affected by erosion  due to its location within a parcel along an identified Cook Inlet erosion zone.   The beach has been restored in the area near the Wastewater Treatment  Plant, and Public Works does not have any concerns at this time.  Only the  Kenai Bluffs area will be discussed in the HMP with regards to erosion.  Ground Failure No The terrain in the City is not likely to produce ground failure.  Volcanic Ashfall Yes  The City has been affected by volcanic ashfall from volcanoes in the past.  Volcanoes are designated as a hazard in the 2018 State of Alaska HMP with a  high probability of occurring in the KPB.    Severe Weather Yes  Annual weather patterns, such as fog and high winds, are predominant  threats. Severe weather is designated as a hazard in the 2018 State of Alaska  HMP with a high probability of occurring in the KPB.  High winds cause trees  to fall on power lines.      Wildland/Conflagration  Fires Yes  Dead and dying spruce trees pose the greatest risk of wild fire on the entire  KPB, including the City.  Wildland fire is designated as a hazard in the 2018  State of Alaska HMP with a high probability of occurring in the KPB.    Tsunamis No  The City is not at risk for tsunamis based on its location near the relatively  shallow depth of upper Cook Inlet.    Page 46 Hazard Profiles 15 HAZARD PROFILE Requirements for hazard profiles, as stipulated in DMA 2000 and its implementing regulations,  are described below.  The specific hazards selected by the Planning Team for profiling have been examined in a  methodical manner based on the following factors:    Hazard Characteristics;    Typical event characteristics;   Potential climate change impacts are primarily discussed in the Changes in the  Cryosphere hazard profile but are also identified where deemed appropriate  within selected hazard profiles;   History (geologic as well as previous occurrences);   Location;   Extent (breadth, magnitude, and severity);   Impact (general impacts associated with each hazard are described in the following  profiles, and detailed impacts to the City’s residents and critical facilities are further  described in Section 6 as part of the overall vulnerability summary for each hazard); and   Recurrence probability statement of future events.  The hazards profiled for the City are presented in the rest of Section 5.3. They are placed in  alphabetical order which does not signify the importance level or risk.  5.3.1 Changes in the Cryosphere 5.3.1.1 Hazard Characteristics The “cryosphere” is defined as those portions of Earth’s surface and subsurface where water is  in solid form, including sea, lake, and river ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets, and  frozen ground (e.g., permafrost).  The components of the cryosphere play an important role in  climate.  Snow and ice reflect heat from the sun, helping to regulate the Earth’s temperature.   They also hold Earth’s important water resources, and therefore, regulate sea levels and water  availability in the spring and summer.  The cryosphere is one of the first places where scientists  are able to identify global climate change.  Hazards of the cryosphere can be subdivided into four major groups:   Glaciers;   Permafrost and periglacial;   Sea ice; and    Snow avalanche.  Glaciers, permafrost, and snow avalanche are not applicable to the City of Kenai.  Of these four  major groups, sea ice applies to the City of Kenai.   Page 47 Hazard Profiles 16 Sea ice is frozen ocean water that forms, grows, and melts in the ocean.  Sea ice grows in Cook  Inlet during the winter and melts during the summer.  The winds from a fall storm can push sea  ice onto the beach.  The ice will then gouge the beach and cause other damage.  Both sea ice  and river ice collect at the toe of the Kenai Bluffs during the winter months, although to what  extent is dependent on temperatures, wind direction and intensity, tides, and ice concentration  in Cook Inlet.  The average Kenai River ice freeze‐up is December 10, and the average ice break‐ up is April 2.  Ice can close the river to vessel traffic for short periods from December to early  April (USACE, 2018).  5.3.1.2 Climate Factors The cryosphere is strongly tied to climate, and thus, very responsive to climate warming.   Changes in climate can modify natural processes and increase the magnitude and recurrence  frequency of certain geologic hazards (e.g., floods caused by storm surge, erosion, and  increased precipitation), which if not properly addressed, could have a damaging effect on  Alaska’s communities and infrastructure, as well as on the livelihoods and lifestyles of Alaskans.   Wave climate and extreme water level events have the potential to change with climate and  influence coastal erosion rates.  During the last several decades, Alaska has warmed twice as fast as the rest of the U.S.  The  major climatic factor leading to warming is an increase in air temperatures.  Even in non‐ice‐rich  soils, process‐driven models show more material is available for erosion and transport when  soil is thawed, which leads to increased exposure of underlying material to thermal and physical  stressors.     5.3.1.3 Cryosphere Hazard History The 2016 City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan noted a drying trend in wetlands and that trees are  growing at higher altitudes.  The 2019 Draft KPB Comprehensive Plan states the average May to  August temperature has increased nearly 2°F over the last 50 years.  The increase in  temperature changed the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) plant hardiness zones for the  KPB.  The 2015 USDA Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the Chugach National Forest  predicted the following climate conditions: shorter winter months, more snowpack at higher  elevations and less snowpack at lower elevations, less rain in spring and more rain in autumn,  and a drying trend for the western KPB that may increase the risk of wildland fire. 5.3.1.4 Location, Extent, Impact, and Recurrence Probability Location  Within the City, sea ice primarily occurs in Upper Cook Inlet, and river ice occurs at the mouth  of the Kenai River.  Snow occurs everywhere on land.  Extent  The entire state of Alaska is at risk of affects from climate change.  The state has grown wetter,  with a 30% increase in average precipitation between 1968 and 1990.  The growing season has  Page 48 Hazard Profiles 17 lengthened by about 14 days.  Models predict continued warming, including an increase in  temperature by 1.5 to 5°F by 2030 and 5 to 18°F by 2100.    Impact  Impacts of a warming climate may include:   Springs, seeps, or wet ground that is not typically wet;  New cracks or bulges in the ground or pavement;  Soil subsiding from a foundation;  Secondary structures (decks, patios) tilting or moving away from main  structures;  Broken water line or other underground utility;  Leaning structures that were previously straight;  Offset fence lines;  Sunken or dropped‐down road beds;  Rapid increase in stream levels, sometimes with increased turbidity;  Rapid decrease in stream levels even though it is raining or has recently  stopped; and  Sticking doors and windows, visible spaces indicating frames out of plumb. Recurrence Probability  Changes to the cryosphere are occurring and will continue to do so.  5.3.2 Earthquake Alaska is one of the most seismically active regions in the world and is at risk of societal and  economic losses due to damaging earthquakes.  On average, Alaska has one “great” magnitude  [(M) >8] earthquake every 13 years and one M 7‐8 earthquake every year.  Earthquakes have  killed more than 130 people in Alaska during the past 60 years (DHS&EM, 2018a).  It is not possible to predict the time and location of the next big earthquake, but the active  geology of Alaska guarantees that major damaging earthquakes will continue to occur and can  affect almost anywhere in the state.  Scientists have estimated where large earthquakes are  most likely to occur, along with the probable levels of ground shaking to be expected.  With this  information, as well as information on soil properties and landslide potential, it is possible to  estimate earthquake risks in any given area.    Alaska earthquake statistics include:   Alaska is home to the second‐largest earthquake ever recorded (1964 Great  Alaska Earthquake, M 9.2);   Alaska has 11% of the world’s recorded earthquakes; and  Page 49 Hazard Profiles 18  Three of the eight largest earthquakes in the world occurred in Alaska.  Since 1900, Alaska has had an average of:   45 M 5‐6 earthquakes per year;   320 M 4‐5 earthquakes per year; and   1,000 earthquakes located in Alaska each month.  Source:  Alaska Earthquake Center (AEC)  5.3.2.1 Hazard Characteristics An earthquake is a sudden motion or trembling caused by a release of stress accumulated  within or along the edge of Earth’s tectonic plates. The effects of an earthquake can be felt far  beyond the site of its occurrence. Earthquakes usually occur without warning, and after only a  few seconds, can cause massive damage and extensive casualties. The most common effect of  earthquakes is ground motion, or the vibration or shaking of the ground during an earthquake.   Ground motion generally increases with the amount of energy released and decreases with  distance from the rupture area.  An earthquake causes waves in the earth’s interior (i.e.,  seismic waves) and along the earth’s surface (i.e., surface waves). Two kinds of seismic waves  occur: P (primary) waves are longitudinal or compressional waves similar in character to sound  waves that cause back and forth oscillation along the direction of travel (vertical motion), and S  (secondary) waves, also known as shear waves, are slower than P waves and cause structures to  vibrate from side to side (horizontal motion). There are also two types of surface waves: Raleigh  waves and Love waves. These waves travel more slowly and typically are more damaging than  seismic waves because they cause larger motions and their frequency is close to harmonic  frequencies for human structures and for sedimentary deposits.   In addition to ground motion, several secondary natural hazards can occur from earthquakes  such as:   Strong Ground Motion is ground shaking.  Strong ground motion intensity is directly  correlated with earthquake magnitude (i.e., the larger the earthquake magnitude, the  more intense and widespread the ground shaking will be).  The strong ground motion  severity is also dependent on the distance from the energy source.     Surface Rupturing occurs when the subsurface patch of fault that slips in an earthquake  intersects the earth’s surface.  This causes discrete, differential ground movement  during intense earthquake shaking.  The relative crustal block motion is dictated by the  rupture’s fault type, which can be horizontal, vertical, or a combination of both.   Earthquakes larger than a M of 6.5 have sufficient energy to create surface ruptures, but  whether or not this occurs is dependent on the earthquake’s depth.  The shallower a  depth at which a significant earthquake occurs, the more likely it is to create a surface  rupture.  Permanent displacement along faults can be substantial.  Surface ruptures, as  a product of intense strong ground motion, can cause severe damage to existing  structures.  Page 50 Hazard Profiles 19  Landslides/Debris Flows occur as a result of horizontal seismic inertia forces induced in  the slopes by ground shaking. The most common earthquake‐induced landslides include  shallow, disrupted landslides such as rock falls, rockslides, and soil slides. Debris flows  are created when surface soil on steep slopes becomes completely saturated with  water. Once the soil liquefies, it loses the ability to hold together and can flow downhill  at very high speeds, taking vegetation and/or structures with it. Slide risks increase after  an earthquake during a wet winter.   The severity of an earthquake can be expressed in terms of intensity and M. Intensity is based  on the damage and observed effects on people and the natural and built environment. It varies  from place to place depending on the location with respect to the earthquake rupture (where  the fault moved). While the area directly above the rupture usually experiences the most  intense earthquake effects (e.g., shaking), the total area affected can cover hundreds of  thousands of square miles, depending on the earthquake’s M.    Larger earthquakes are less common than smaller earthquakes, such that the smallest  earthquakes are extremely frequent, while the largest earthquakes are relatively infrequent.    Earthquakes are also classified by their felt effects (e.g., perceived shaking intensity).  However,  the effects of an earthquake are directly related to the distance from the earthquake rupture,  among other parameters such as the type of crust where the earthquake occurs.  In general,  the closer one is to an earthquake’s epicenter, the more severe the felt effects and damage will  be.  An earthquake’s intensity is described by the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale. As  shown in Table 4, the MMI Scale consists of 10 increasing levels of intensity that range from  imperceptible to catastrophic destruction. Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is also used to  measure earthquake intensity by quantifying how hard the earth shakes in a given location.  PGA can be measured as acceleration due to gravity (g) (MMI, 2006).  Table 4. Perceived Shaking, Potential Damage, and Peak Ground Acceleration M is the measure of the earthquake’s strength and is related to the amount of seismic energy  released at the earthquake’s hypocenter, the actual location of the energy released inside the  earth. It is based on the amplitude of the earthquake waves recorded on instruments, known as  the Richter magnitude test scales, which have a common calibration.  5.3.2.2 History The KPB is subject to numerous earthquake events of varying magnitudes.  Several fault lines  traverse the KPB, including the Lake Clark Fault, Bruin Bay Fault, Sterling Fault, Border Ranges  Fault, and Eagle River Fault.  The region’s tectonic activity, documented back to 1933, includes  258 earthquakes centered within the KPB that registered over a M of 4.5 (FEMAj, 2017).  Page 51 Hazard Profiles 20 A 7.1 earthquake with an epicenter north of Anchorage on November 30, 2018 damaged some  City facilities.  Damage was not as extensive as that in the Municipality of Anchorage or the  Matanuska‐Susitna Borough since the epicenter was farther away from Kenai.  The Kenai City  Dock was damaged with structural cracks in the concrete.  Well House #1 and the building  surrounding the well house were damaged.  A water main break in a residential neighborhood  resulting from the earthquake about a week after its occurrence was fixed by the City’s Public  Works Department.   One of the largest earthquake events in the KPB region occurred 53 miles west of Anchor Point  on January 24, 2016, with a M of 7.1.  This earthquake, referred to as the 2016 Old Iliamna  Earthquake, occurred 123.4 kilometers below ground, approximately 54 miles west of Anchor  Point.  It was reported that the shaking could be felt from Fairbanks to Juneau.  The earthquake  caused immediate regionwide power outages, gas leaks, and fires, which destroyed four  homes.  Additionally, businesses reported damaged merchandise, and the Kalifornsky Beach  Road dropped down a foot, creating a 150‐foot‐long‐crack.  The Red Cross provided shelters for  those whose homes were damaged, and for residents unable to return home due to closed  roads.  No fatalities were reported, and the structural damage was minimal.   As a result of the 2016 Old Iliamna Earthquake, the City felt the greatest impact when a gas line  broke on Lilac Lane and released 406,000 cubic feet of natural gas (KBBI, 2016).  The Pipeline  and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the Regulatory Commission of Alaska didn’t  cite any corrosion or pre‐existing problem with the line.  There were two house explosions, and  a fire claimed two more, resulting in a total of four homes on Lilac Lane being completely  destroyed. Lindsay Hobson, a spokeswoman for Enstar Natural Gas, stated, “But for the  earthquake, there wouldn’t have been any damage to the line at all.  The earthquake moved  the line, and we had the resulting release of gas.”  Since 1931, 27 earthquakes have been recorded with a M of 5.0 or greater within a 50‐mile  radius of the approximate center of the City (60.559454⁰ N, 151.233000⁰ W) (Table 5).      Table 5.

State of Alaska Earthquake Probability     5.3.3 Flood and Erosion 5.3.3.1 Hazard Characteristics Floods  Approximately 6,600 miles of Alaska’s coastline and many low‐lying areas along Alaska’s  riverbanks are subject to severe flooding and erosion.  The U.S. Government Accountability  Office reported in 2003 that flooding and erosion affect 184 out of 213 (86%) of Alaska Native  villages.  Many of the problems are long‐standing, although studies indicate that increased  flooding and erosion are being caused in part by changes in the cryosphere (DHS&EM, 2018a).    Flooding is the overflow of excess water from a stream, river, lake, reservoir, glacier, or coastal  body of water onto adjacent floodplains or normally dry land. Floodplains are lowlands adjacent  to water bodies that are subject to recurring floods. Floods are natural events that are  considered hazards only when people and property are affected.  Flooding is Alaska’s most  common disaster, often costing in excess of one million dollars annually, causing major  disruptions to society and occasionally loss of life (DHS&EM, 2018a).  Many floods are predictable based on rainfall patterns. In the City, most of the annual  precipitation is received from August through October with September being the wettest. This  rainfall leads to flooding in winter. Spring snowmelt increases runoff, which can cause flooding.   Page 56 Hazard Profiles 25 To develop flood predictions, the National Weather Service (NWS) and DHS&EM operate a  flood‐forecasting network in the most populated parts of Alaska (River Watch), including the  KPB. Predictions are also difficult for many of the smaller rivers because of the short time  span between when the precipitation occurs and the flooding starts.  Erosion  Erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved  material from one location and transport it to another location.  Erosion can be gradual or  occur quite quickly as the result of a flash flood, storm, or other event.  Most of the geomorphic  change to a river system is due to peak flow events that can dramatically increase the erosion  rate.  Erosion is a problem in developed areas where disappearing land threatens development  and infrastructure (DHS&EM, 2018a).  Erosion rarely causes death or injury. However, erosion  causes the destruction of property, development, and infrastructure. There are three main  types of erosion that affect human activity in the City:   Coastal erosion;   Riverine erosion; and   Wind erosion.  Coastal and Riverine Erosion  Coastal erosion is the wearing away of coastal land. This term is commonly used to describe the  horizontal retreat of the shoreline along the ocean, or the vertical down cutting along the  shores. Erosion is considered a function of larger processes of shoreline change, which includes  erosion and accretion. Erosion results when more sediment is lost along a particular shoreline  than is redeposited by the water body. Accretion results when more sediment is deposited  along a particular shoreline than is lost. When these two processes are balanced, the shoreline  is stable. Some erosion is related to redistributing sediment on a beach; moving sediment from  bluffs to sand flats, especially under the influence of sea‐level rise.  In assessing the erosion  hazard, it is important to realize that there is a temporal, or time aspect associated with the  average rate at which a shoreline is either eroding or accreting. Over a long‐term period (years),  a shoreline is considered to be eroding, accreting, or stable. A hazard evaluation should focus  on the long‐term erosion situation. However, in the short‐term, it is important to understand  that storms can erode a shoreline that is, over the long‐term, classified as accreting, and vice  versa.     Riverine erosion results from the force of flowing water into and adjacent to river channels.  This erosion affects the bed and banks of the channel and can alter or preclude any channel  navigation or riverbank development.  In less stable braided channel breaches, erosion and  deposition of materials are a constant issue.  In more stable meandering channels, episodes of  erosion may occur occasionally.    Erosion is measured as a rate, with respect to either a linear retreat (i.e., feet of shoreline  recession per year) or volumetric loss (i.e., cubic yards of eroded sediment per linear foot of  shoreline frontage per year). Erosion rates are not uniform, and vary both over time at any  single location and at any given time along the coast. Annual variations are the result of  seasonal changes in wave action and water levels.  Page 57 Hazard Profiles 26 Erosion is caused by coastal storms and flood events; changes in the geometry of tidal inlets,  river outlets, and bay entrances; man‐made structures and human activities such as shore  protection structures and dredging; and local scour around buildings and other structures.  Major erosion occurs when there is a high tide and large storm waves that carry away the base  material of the bluff making the slopes steeper.  These steeper slopes are more susceptible to  erosion by wind and surface or groundwater.  Wind Erosion  Wind erosion is when wind is responsible for the removal, movement, and redepositing of land.   It occurs when soils are exposed to high‐velocity wind.  The wind will pick up the soil and carry  it away.  The wind moves soil particles 0.1‐0.5 millimeters (mm) in size in a hopping or bouncing  fashion (known as saltation) and those greater than 0.5 mm by rolling (known as soil creep).   The finest particles (less than 0.1 mm) are carried in suspension.  Wind erosion can increase  during periods of drought.    Wind erosion can cause a loss of topsoil, which can hinder agricultural production.  Loess,  deposits of silt laid down by wind action, can reduce visibility causing automobile accidents,  hinder machinery, and have a negative effect on air and water quality, creating animal and  human health concerns.  Wind erosion also causes damage to public utilities and infrastructure.   Combined Coastal, Riverine, and Wind Erosion   Most of the City is unaffected by erosion.  The City’s Historic District and residential areas  adjacent to the Kenai Bluffs have been affected by coastal erosion.  The City has lost land and  structures due to the erosion.  Roads have been abandoned, and sewer mains relocated.  In  2000, a sewer line was relocated due to the erosion on Mission Street.  The relocation of the  line and subsequent roadwork was in excess of $300,000; repairs were funded using the State  of Alaska Capital Improvements program.  An example of coastal, riverine, and wind erosion working together is represented in Figure 4  on the Kenai Bluffs.  The Kenai Bluffs are 5,000 linear feet of bluff (high bank) located in the City  along the north bank of the Kenai River at the mouth to Cook Inlet (see Figure 5).  Figures 6 and  7 show photographs taken in 2018 with the erosive forces labeled.  The Kenai Bluffs height ranges between 55 to 70 feet, and the bluff face is receding at an  average rate of three feet per year.  A review of aerial photographs that extended over a 56‐ year period of record indicate that the erosion rate ranges from two to four feet per year.  The  erosion is episodic, and the amount of bluff loss at any particular location can vary from  chronic to an acute large loss of bluff face over a short period.  Public and private property,  structures and infrastructure, and cultural resources have been lost and continue to be  threatened by the receding bluff.  The bluff consists of unconsolidated sediments that remain  unstable because it is exposed to Cook Inlet coastal storms and extreme floodtides that have  the fourth largest range in the world of 31.4 feet.  Tidal currents and wave action during flood  tides attack the toe of the bluff, removing sediments that originate from the bluff face and  accumulate at its toe.  Coastal storms also degrade the structural integrity of the exposed  lower bluff face.  In order for the bluff to stabilize, an effective structural project alternative will

Erosion Mechanism Schematic   Figure 5. Kenai Bluffs Location     Page 59 Hazard Profiles 28 Figure 6. Kenai Bluffs Eroded Surface     Figure 7. Storm Event at Kenai Bluffs     Page 60 Hazard Profiles 29 need to prevent the removal of accumulated sediment at the bluff and the structural damage  of the lower bluff.  The USACE completed a feasibility study in November 2018 that  recommended a protective berm at the bluff toe.  This Bluff Stabilization project includes  constructing a berm at the bluff toe that is designed to prevent the removal of accumulated  sediment between the bluff toe and the berm and prevent storm damages to the lower portion  of the bluff.  With the bluff toe protection in place, it will eventually stabilize, and the bluff  surface will erode back naturally to a more stable slope, which is estimated to take up to 15  years (USACE, 2018).  The City supports this option and is pursuing the design phase of this  project.  In 2009, the City of Kenai added permanent fencing to the north beach dunes to help prevent  bluff erosion.  The fencing helped ensure that man‐made destruction of vegetation did not  compromise the integrity of the dunes.  A similar fencing project was completed in the summer  of 2010 on the south beach.  The dunes were at risk of destruction from the annual personal  use dipnet fishery if the fencing was not installed.  The fencing fulfilled its purpose.  Erosion on the Kenai River, predominantly outside the City, is of great concern to resource  management agencies because the increased sedimentation and loss of streamside cover  associated with acceleration rates may threaten salmon returns to the river.  The City’s gross  revenue from the 2019 personal use salmon fishery on the Kenai River was expected to be  $416,000.  5.3.3.2 Climate Factors Climate and weather are the two primary drivers of flooding and erosion in Alaska.  Weather  (i.e., the day‐to‐day state of the atmosphere) affects these hazards in the short‐term with  individual episodes of rainfall, wind, and temperature that initiate or intensify individual  episodes of flooding or erosion.  Climate is affecting the long‐term incident rate and severity of  these hazards, especially in Alaska, which is particularly vulnerable due to its high northern  latitude and the unique importance of snow, ice, and permafrost.    5.3.3.3 Flood and Erosion History The City has two flood and erosion events in the DHS&EM Disaster Cost Index (DHS&EM, 2018b).   These events are listed below.     96‐180.  Southcentral Fall Floods declared September 21, 1995 by Governor Knowles, then  FEMA declared (DR‐1072) on October 13, 1996: Record rainfall in Southcentral Alaska caused  widespread flooding in the KPB, Matanuska‐Susitna Borough, and the Municipality of  Anchorage.  On September 29, 1995, the Governor amended the original declaration to include  Chugach, and the Copper River Regional Education Attendance areas, including the  communities of Whittier and Cordova, and the Richardson, Copper River, and Edgerton  Highway areas which suffered severe damage to numerous personal residences, flooding,  eroding of public roadways, destruction and significant damage to bridges, flood control dikes  and levees, water and sewer facilities, power, and harbor facilities.  On October 13, 1995, the  President declared this event as a major disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief  and Emergency Assistance Act.  Individual Assistance totaled $699K for 190 applicants.  Public  Page 61 Hazard Profiles 30 assistance totaled $7.97 million for 21 applicants with 140 DSRs.  Hazard mitigation totaled $1.2  million.  The total for this disaster was $10.5 million.    The City of Kenai mobilized City boats, vehicles, and safety equipment to intercept and extract  huge quantities of debris such as docks, sheds, large liquefied petroleum gas tanks, fuels  storage tanks, and damaged boats from the Kenai River before this debris caused further  property damage and before it could flow into Cook Inlet shipping lanes.  13‐F‐243.  2013 October KPB Flood Disaster declared by Governor Parnell on November 18,  2013, then FEMA declared January 16, 2014 (DR‐4161): Beginning October 27, 2013, the KPB  received substantial amounts of rain following several weather systems that had previously  inundated low‐lying areas.  On October 26, the NWS issued a flood watch for areas around  Western Prince William Sound due to a slow‐moving system which brought widespread rainfall  to the mainland.  The forecast called for local amounts in excess of five inches of rain.  Seward,  Homer, and other areas of the KPB received heavy rain and flooding which caused landslides,  bridge, and airport and road closures.  Damages were reported in Seward, Homer, Kenai,  Anchor Point, and the Tyonek area along Beluga Road.  Flood damages affecting many  individual homes were reported, and several businesses were also impacted.    5.3.3.4 Location, Extent, Impact, and Recurrence Probability Location  Figure 8 is from the 2010 City Annex to the KPB HMP and shows estimated Kenai Bluff Erosion to  2057 (City, 2010).  The 2017 FEMA RiskMap study did not identify any areas of concern for the  City with regards to flooding (FEMAj, 2017).    The City has experienced significant erosion.  Figure 9 displays a coastal erosion rate along Cook  Inlet near the City.  Shorelines were compiled from three different time periods in the 1950s,  1960s, and 2000s used for the 2017 Risk Report analysis.    It is important to note that the Kenai Bluffs are not limited to the mile‐long stretch of the Kenai  River mouth encompassed by the USACE study, but also in the broader area of the Kenai River  mouth that has become so heavily involved in the personal use dip‐net fishery.  Bluff erosion in  this broader area has been significantly affected by the human impacts of this fishery itself and  by the impacts of increased use of the beach year‐round.  There are three distinct areas at the  mouth of the Kenai River affected by bluff erosion:   The mile‐long stretch of river encompassed by the USACE study;   The dunes on the north and south beaches, which protect against bluff erosion  and which need protection themselves; and   The sheer bluff on the north beach parallel to Toyon Way, which is unprotected  by dunes or anything else.   Extent  A variety of natural and human‐induced factors influence the erosion process. River orientation  and proximity to up and downstream river bends can influence erosion rates. Embankment  Page 62 Hazard Profiles 31 Figure 8. Kenai Bluffs Erosion   composition also influences erosion rates, as sand and silt erode easily, whereas boulders or  large rocks are more erosion‐resistant. Other factors that may influence erosion include:   Geomorphology;   Amount of encroachment in the high hazard zone;   Proximity to erosion inducing structures;   Nature of the topography;   Density of development;   Structure types along the embankment; and   Embankment elevation.  The various erosion mechanisms acting on the Kenai Bluffs include:    Wind scour;   Groundwater seepage and piping;   Overland flow over the bluff;   Page 63 Hazard Profiles 32 Figure 9. Kenai Coastal Erosion    Freeze thaw cycles; and   Wave action and currents at the toe of the bluff.  Impact  The ongoing condition of the receding Kenai Bluffs has resulted in:  Page 64 Hazard Profiles 33  Lost land to the sea: commercial, municipal, non‐profit (e.g., Kenai Bible Church built  in 1940):  o  7 parcels have been completely lost;  o  18 parcels have suffered land loss; and  o  Nearly all threatened parcels have lost value.   Lost and damaged cultural resources (i.e., historical, potentially historical, and  archeological sites):  o 4 historic wooden structures;  o  Property of the historic Kenai Bible Church;  o  Human remains have eroded out of the bluff; and  o      Prehistoric house depressions have been lost or are exposed.   Abandoned and/or condemned structures: residential, commercial, and municipal.   Threatened structures and infrastructure: residential, commercial, non‐profit, and  municipal (e.g., Kenai Senior Center).   Relocation of utilities and roads.  In addition, the ongoing receding Kenai Bluffs has had other negative impacts (i.e., other social  effects) as listed below:   Lack of development and investment in Old Town.   Cultural vulnerability with local tribes and the local population.   Under use of public‐use areas by locals and tourists (e.g., scenic overlooks and nearby  parks).   Health and safety issues (The unstable bluff is preventing activities at the base and  near the top edge of the bluff, although soft sediments on the beach area may  continue to prevent activities at the base.).   Negatively impacted social connectedness, identity, resiliency, leisure, and recreation.   Contributes to uncertainty in community planning.  Recurrence Probability   Future populations of the City can expect to receive an increased number of erosion events due  to greater moisture content in warmer air.      Page 65 Hazard Profiles 34 5.3.4 Volcanoes and Ashfall 5.3.4.1 Hazard Characteristics Alaska is home to 41 historically active volcanoes stretching across the entire southern portion  of the State from the Wrangell Mountains to the far Western Aleutians. An average of one to  two eruptions per year occurs in Alaska. Figure 10 shows regional volcanoes located in the  vicinity of the City.  Volcanic Ash  Volcanic ash, also called tephra, is fine fragments of solidified lava and rock crystals ejected into  the air by a volcanic explosion. The fragments range in size, with the larger falling nearer the  source. Ash is a problem near the source because of its high temperatures (may cause fires),  burial (the weight can cause structural collapses; for example, it was 100 miles from Novarupta  to Kodiak where structures collapsed), and impact of falling fragments. Further away, the  primary hazard to humans is damage to machinery (including airplanes in flight), decreased  visibility, and inhaling the fine ash (long‐term inhalation can lead to lung cancer), but lightning  in large ash clouds can also pose a hazard.  In Alaska, this is a major problem as many of the  major flight routes are near historically active volcanoes. Ash accumulation may also interfere  with the distribution of electricity due to shorting of transformers and other electrical  components (ash is an excellent conductor of electricity).  The largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century occurred at Novarupta Volcano in June 1912.  The eruption started by generating an ash cloud that grew to thousands of miles wide during  the three‐day event. Within four hours of the eruption, ash started falling on Kodiak, darkening  the City. It became hard to breathe because of the ash and sulfur dioxide gas. The water  became undrinkable and unable to support aquatic life. Roofs collapsed under the weight of the  ash. Some buildings were destroyed by ash avalanches while others burned after being struck  by lightning from the ash cloud. Similar conditions could be found all over the area. Some  villages ended up being abandoned, including Katmai and Savonoski Villages. The ash and acid  rain also negatively affected animal and plant life. Large animals were blinded, and many  starved because their food was eliminated.  5.3.4.2 History The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO), which is a cooperative program of the USGS, Alaska  Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Division of Geological and Geophysical Survey (DGGS),  and the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute (UAF GI), monitors the seismic  activity at 23 of Alaska’s 41 active volcanoes in real time. In addition, satellite images of all  Alaskan and Russian volcanoes are analyzed daily for evidence of ash plumes and elevated  surface temperatures. Russian volcanoes are also a concern to Alaska as prevailing winds could  carry large ash plumes from Kamchatka into Alaskan air space. AVO also researches the  individual history of Alaska’s active volcanoes and produces hazard assessment maps. The  Alaska Tsunami Warning Center, located in Palmer, also monitors volcanic and earthquake  activity throughout the Pacific region.  Page 66 Hazard Profiles 35   The City has experienced volcanic ash in  1989, 1990, and 1992 from Mt. Redoubt and  Mt. Spurr. These eruptions disrupted  transportation and industry, particularly jet  aircraft (Figure 11).  Following the 1989‐ 1990 eruptions, debris flows caused  temporary closing of the Drift River Oil  Terminal.  A similar eruption event occurred  again in 2009 affecting the offloading of 3.7  million gallons of crude oil from the oil  terminal.  The KPB received ashfall in 2009,  but the wind direction spared the City.  The  Kenai Municipal Airport has an AVO tracking  device, and no ash was present in 2009.   Media reports, the KPB website, and the  Kenai communications center, operated by  the Kenai Police Department, adequately  informed citizens of volcanic precautions.   The City government took steps to minimize  damage to vehicles, buildings, and  computer equipment.  The City administration feels the above actions were more than  adequate to mitigate potential damage from volcanic ash fallout to residential and commercial  assets.  During the 1990 event, a KLM 747 jet aircraft, with 245 passengers and crew aboard,  temporarily lost power in all four engines when it entered the volcanic plume.  It would have  crashed into the mountains had the crew not been able to restart their engines about 4,000  feet above ground.       Figure 10. Regional Volcanos Page 67 Hazard Profiles 36 Figure 11. Areas Affected by Ash Falls   5.3.4.3 Location, Extent, Impact, and Recurrence Probability Location Figure 11 illustrates the spread of ash fall which is dependent on wind direction.  Extent  The single greatest volcanic hazard in the City is airborne ash, fine fragments of rock blown  high into the atmosphere during explosive volcanic eruptions.  For any given eruption, the  depth of ash deposited at any given location depends on the total volume of ash ejected, the  wind direction, and the distance between the volcano and a given location.  Extreme ashfall events, similar to the 1912 event, would have similar extreme consequences  including building damage up to and including collapses, disruption of travel (air, sea, land),  disruption of water, electric power and communications, and health and environmental  impacts.  Smaller ashfall events would result in little or no building damage, but would still have  significant impacts, including:   Respiratory problems for at‐risk populations such as young children, people with  respiratory problems and the elderly;    Disruption of air, marine, and land traffic;   Clean‐up and ash removal from roofs, gutters, sidewalks, roads, vehicles, mechanical  systems and ductwork, engines, and mechanical equipment;   Clogging of filters and possible severe damage to vehicle engines, furnaces, heat  pumps, air conditioners, commercial and public buildings’ combined heating,  Page 68 Hazard Profiles 37 ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and other engines and mechanical  equipment;    Disruption of public water supplies drawn from surface waters, including  degradation of water quality (high turbidity) and increased maintenance  requirements at water treatment plants;    Disruption/clogging of storm water drainage systems;   Disruption of electric power from ash‐induced short circuits in distribution lines,  transmission lines, and substations; and   Disruption of communications.  A major factor in determining ashfall is wind direction.  Additionally, if there is a large ashfall,  wind could blow and redistribute ashfall several times which would be a prolonged hazard.  Impact  The volcanic eruptions of 1989, 1990, 1992, and 2009 caused widespread distribution of ash  over the central and southern peninsula and resulted in power outages and disruption of  traffic. Volcanic ash nearly caused the greatest loss of life of any disaster event in Alaska.   Another impact of major ashfall is a breakdown of soil cover, accelerating erosion.  This impact  was seen on the flanks of Okmok in the eastern Aleutian Islands following the 2008 eruption.   Former grasslands were cut with networks of deep, rapidly eroding gullies.   Ash fall from volcanic eruptions is a threat to health and to equipment that may draw in  fine, abrasive particles. During times of high winds, these fine particles pose a significant  health threat.  The City has experienced a few tenths of an inch of ashfall on residents’ vehicles.  Planes do not  fly.  People do not operate motorized equipment.  Air quality is poor.  The City’s policy is for  people to shelter in place in their homes.   Recurrence Probability  The recurrence probability for the future residents of the City would remain the same as for  current residents.    Page 69 Hazard Profiles 38 5.3.5 Severe Weather 5.3.5.1 Hazard Characteristics In contemporary usage, climate change commonly refers to the change in global or regional  climate patterns that spans from the mid‐ to late 20th century to the present.  Evidence  collected by scientists and engineers from around the world tells an unambiguous story:  the  planet is warming.  Climate change at high northern latitudes, such as Alaska, is causing rapid  and severe environmental change.  Severe weather occurs throughout Alaska with extremes experienced by the City that include  increasing high winds, winter storms, heavy and drifting snow, heavy rain/freezing rain/ice  storms, and cold.    High Winds  High winds occur in Alaska when there are winter low‐pressure systems in the North Pacific  Ocean and the Gulf of Alaska. Alaska’s high winds can equal cyclonic force. In Alaska, high winds  (winds in excess of 60 mph) occur frequently over coastal areas along the Gulf of Alaska.  They  can also combine with loose snow to produce blizzards.  Localized downdrafts and downbursts are also common wind hazards.  Downbursts are often  generated by thunderstorms.  Downbursts are areas of rapidly falling rain‐cooled air.  Upon  reaching the ground, downbursts spread out in all directions in excess of 125 mph.  Both types  of wind, commonly lasting five to seven minutes, are hazardous to aviation.  These winds reach  hurricane force and have the potential to seriously damage community infrastructure  (especially above ground utility lines) while disrupting vital marine transportation.  Winter Storms  Winter storms include a variety of phenomena described above and may include several  components such as wind, snow, and ice storms.  Ice storms include freezing rain, sleet, and  hail and can be the most devastating of winter weather phenomena; often causing automobile  accidents, power outages, and personal injury.  Freezing rain coats every surface it falls on with  an icy glaze.  Freezing rain most commonly starts in a narrow band on the cold side of a warm  front, where surface temperatures are at or just below freezing temperatures.  Ice crystals high  in the atmosphere grow by collecting water vapor molecules, sometimes supplied by  evaporating cloud droplets.  As the crystals fall, they encounter a layer of warm air where the  particles melt and collapse into raindrops.  As the raindrops approach the ground, they  encounter a layer of cold air and cool to temperatures below freezing.  Heavy and Drifting Snow  Heavy snow generally means an accumulation of more than 12 to 24 inches of snow inside of  24 hours and often brings transportation to a stop. Airports and major roadways will close,  disrupting supply flow and emergency response service access.  Excessive accumulation will  collapse roofs, knock down trees and power lines, damage parked light aircraft, and capsize  small boats.  Heavy snow increases flooding risks.  Heavy snow is associated with vehicle  accidents, overexertion, and hypothermia.  Drifting is the uneven distribution of snowfall and  snow depth caused by strong surface winds. Drifting snow may occur during or after a snowfall.  Page 70 Hazard Profiles 39 Heavy Rain/Freezing Rain/Ice Storm  Freezing rain and ice storms describe occasions when excessive ice accumulations are expected  during a heavy rain event.  They are a particularly hazardous winter weather phenomena and  often cause numerous automobile accidents, power outages, and personal injury.  Ice storms  form from freezing rain and pass through a thin layer of cold air just above the ground and cool  to below freezing.  The drops remain in a liquid state until they impact a surface and freeze on  contact.  Ice accumulations can damage trees, utility poles, and communication towers which  disrupts transportation, power, and communications.  Cold  The definition of extreme cold varies according to the normal climate of a region. In areas  unaccustomed to winter weather, near freezing temperatures are considered “extreme”. In  Alaska, extreme cold usually involves temperatures ‐ 40 °F with additional wind chills. Excessive  cold may accompany winter storms or can occur without storm activity during clear skies with  high barometric pressure. Extreme cold accompanied by wind exacerbates exposure injuries  such as frostbite and hypothermia.  Extreme cold interferes with infrastructure across Alaska for days or sometimes weeks at a  time.  Liquid fuels may congeal or freeze, denying motorized transportation, heat, and  electricity generation.  In desperation, some people choose to burn propane stoves indoors,  increasing their risk to carbon monoxide poisoning.  Aircraft may be grounded, delaying the  resupply of food and emergency supplies.    5.3.5.2 Climate Change Influences Increases in carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases in the atmosphere are generally  warming and changing the climate worldwide by trapping heat that would have escaped back  into space.  Trees and other plants cannot absorb as much carbon dioxide through  photosynthesis as is produced by burning fossil fuels.  Therefore, carbon dioxide builds up and  changes precipitation patterns, increases storms, wildfires, and flooding frequency and  intensity; and substantially changes flora, fauna, fish, and wildlife habitats.  Alaska’s temperature rise rate has been twice the average of the rest of the U.S. in recent  decades.  During the period from 1949 to 2014, the Statewide average annual air temperature  increased by 3℉, and the average winter temperature increased by 6℉ (ACRC, 2018).  This  included considerable annual and regional variability, and was accompanied by a greater  number of extremely warm days and fewer extremely cold days (CCSP, 2008).  The Statewide  average annual precipitation during this same period has increased by about 10%, with recent  decades showing amounts largely above normal, but with substantial annual and regional  variability (Shulski and Wendler, 2007, ACRC, 2018).  Global climate is projected to continue changing over this century, and changes to Alaska’s  climate are expected to be unprecedented (Chapin et al, 2014).  Average annual temperatures  in Alaska are projected to rise by an additional 2℉ to 4℉ by 2050, and by 6℉ to 12℉ by the  end of the century depending on emission levels (Stewart et al, 2013).  Projections of annual  Page 71 Hazard Profiles 40 precipitation show an increase across Alaska as part of the broad pattern of increases projected  for high northern latitudes.    Snow cover extent and depth have been decreasing in most places in Alaska for nearly three  decades.  Warmer winter temperatures change the precipitation frequency of snow and rain,  and are producing more frequent rain‐on‐snow events.    5.3.5.3 History The City of Kenai has a history of two windstorm events in the DHS&EM Disaster Cost Index  (DHS&EM, 2018b).  These events are listed below.     12‐237.   2011 Kenai Peninsula Windstorm declared by Governor Parnell on December 12,  2011, then FEMA declared February 2, 2012 (DR‐4054): On November 1, 12, 15, and 16, 2011,  a series of major windstorms caused widespread power outages threatening life and property.  Power was disrupted to 17,300 homes and businesses.  Local utilities, Homer Electric  Association and Chugach Electric, employed several work crews to restore power to the area.   Public Infrastructure, commercial property, and personal property damages were reported in  the metropolitan areas and throughout the borough.  DHS&EM received local declarations from  the KPB requesting state disaster assistance to cover immediate response, public, and  individual costs.  In the City of Kenai, pipes were frozen and burst at City Hall and Vintage  Pointe facilities.  The primary response by City personnel was to remove downed trees and  debris from high winds, supply temporary power to critical facilities during the storm, and  respond to burst pipes in buildings without power.    AK‐17‐262, 2017 December KPB Storm declared by Governor Walker on January 19, 2018,  then FEMA declared on June 18, 2018 (DR‐4369): On December 4, 2017, a fast‐moving storm  system moving northward out of the Gulf of Alaska brought widespread high winds to coastal  areas on both the east and west sides of the KPB.  In the Lower Cook Inlet area, this storm  system created high winds gusting 30‐40 mph, reaching a maximum wind speed of 58 mph,  producing seven to ten‐ foot waves that impacted the Cook Inlet coastline from Homer to  Kenai.    5.3.5.4 Location, Extent, Impact, and Recurrence Probability Location  In the City, there is potential for weather disasters. High winds can topple trees, damage roofs  and windows, and result in power outages. Heavy snow can cause power outages or collapse  roofs of buildings.  Storms can make travel difficult.  Extreme weather is most prevalent during  the winter with any combination of cold temperatures, strong winds, storm surge, and heavy  snow.   Extent  Severe weather is a normal part of living in Alaska. However, sometimes the confluence of  elements produces extreme conditions. Being prepared is the key to survival. Alternate forms  of home heat and lighting, stored food, appropriate clothing, and advance planning are critical.   Page 72 Hazard Profiles 41 The most common forms of damage to structures as a result of severe wind includes loss  of roofing materials, damage to doors and hinges, broken water lines due to freezing, fallen  trees, structural failure of out‐buildings, fallen or damaged exterior lights, flag poles, cell  towers, and antennae. Overhanging signs on businesses and satellite dishes become airborne  projectiles under certain conditions.  Heavy snow brings another set of damages. Structural deflection or collapse of structures  is common. Deflection causes cracks or breakage of interior walls and finishes. Falling ice  from roof eaves can knock out electric meters, damage vehicles, break windows, and threaten  injury to passersby. Sliding snow can cause damages described above plus cause damage to  roof mounted vents and other equipment. Wind packed snow and ice can block windows and  emergency exits.  Impact  Heavy snowfall can also damage infrastructure and critical facilities. Heavy snowfalls make  transportation difficult, especially by road, and result in more money spent on snow plow  services. High numbers of injuries and fatalities are not expected with a heavy snow event.  Heavy snow can have a greater impact on people who need access to medical services,  emergency services, pedestrians, and people who rely on public transportation. The cost of fuel  to heat homes during times of heavy snow can be a financial burden on populations with low or  fixed incomes.  The most vulnerable City residents to any of the hazards of severe weather are the homeless  who lack adequate shelter and those on fixed incomes who may not be able to adequately heat  their homes.   Extreme weather also interferes with community infrastructure and its proper functions.  It can  cause fuel to congeal in storage tanks and supply lines, stopping electric power generation,  which in turn causes heaters and furnaces to stop. Without electricity, heaters and furnaces do  not work, causing water and sewer pipes to freeze or rupture. If extreme cold conditions are  combined with low or no snow cover, the ground's frost depth can increase, disturbing buried  pipes. The greatest danger from extreme cold is its effect on people. Prolonged exposure to the  cold can cause frostbite or hypothermia and become life‐threatening. Infants and elderly  people are most susceptible. The risk of hypothermia due to exposure greatly increases during  episodes of extreme cold, and carbon monoxide poisoning is possible as people use  supplemental heating devices not intended for indoor use during extreme weather events.  While the scope, severity, and pace of future climate change impacts are difficult to predict, it is  clear that potential changes could impact U.S. agencies’ ability to fulfill their respective  missions.  The challenges posed by climate change, such as more intense storms, frequency of  heavy precipitation, heat waves, drought, and extreme flooding could significantly alter the  types and magnitudes of hazards faced by communities and the emergency management  professionals serving them.       Page 73 Hazard Profiles 42 Recurrence Probability  Alaska will continue to experience diverse and seasonal weather events.  Severe weather will  occur annually in the City.  Severe wind and rain are becoming more likely with climate change,  while extreme snow and cold are becoming less likely.  5.3.6 Wildfire and Conflagration Fire During the five‐year period spanning 2013 through 2018, over 82 fire‐related fatalities were  recorded in Alaska.  Since 2013, the State has declared over 3,077 fire‐related emergencies or  disasters (DHS&EM, 2018a).    For the purposes of profiling the hazard in Alaska, fires in this HMP are characterized by their  primary fuel sources into two categories:   Wildland fire, which consumes natural vegetation.   Community fire conflagration, which propagates among structures and infrastructure.  While fire is critical for maintaining the viability of Alaska’s ecosystems, it must be tempered  with the need to protect human life and property.  This is particularly true of fires burning in  “wildland urban interface” areas, where structures and other human development meet or  intermingle with undeveloped wildland.  Wildland urban interface (WUI) has gained importance  throughout Alaska with increased development adjacent to wildlands.  Urban conflagration is a large destructive fire that is widespread throughout an urban area or  community involving one or more developed areas in the community.  In contrast to the  commonly destructive individual property fire, conflagrations frequently overwhelm resources  and damage infrastructure.     Firefighter and public safety are the primary concern of each local fire response agency.  In  Alaska, thousands of acres burn every year in 300 to 800 fires, primarily between the months of  March and October.  According to the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center (AICC), Alaska  lost 7,815,368 acres from 2013 to 2017.  This figure consisted of the 2,408 wildland fires that  started throughout that same time period.  This is an average of 3,246 acres per wildland fire  (DHS&EM, 2018a).  The KPB, including the City of Kenai, has experienced a regional spruce bark‐beetle outbreak.   Fire risk has also increased in recent years due to spruce bark beetle infestations which have  affected both white and black spruce forest stands. Alaska’s 10.25 million‐acre KPB has  experienced a regional spruce bark‐beetle outbreak that peaked in 1996 and continues to  spread to uninfected areas.  Up to 2004, an estimated four million acres of spruce in  southcentral Alaska have been affected.  While spruce bark beetle outbreaks are natural  events, the magnitude of spruce mortality during historic episodes was typically much less (20%  to 30%) than the current infestation in which mortality rates exceeded 90% (KPB, 2006).  Dead and dying spruce trees present a wildfire hazard when standing because they can support  intense, rapidly moving fires. These insect‐killed trees also present a hazard after they have  fallen because they can support very intense surface fires. Wildfire in either fuel type is very  difficult for firefighters to control by direct attack.   Page 74 Hazard Profiles 43 5.3.6.1 Management in Alaska In Alaska, fire management is the responsibility of three agencies:  Alaska Department of  Forestry (DOF), Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (through the Alaska Fire Service (AFS), and  U.S. Forest Service (USFS).  See Figure 12.  Each agency provides firefighting coverage for a  portion of the State regardless of land ownership.  These agencies have cooperated to develop  a state‐wide interagency wildland fire management plan.  In the KPB, the DOF has the  responsibility to manage fire response.  In 2006, the City adopted a Community Wildfire  Protection Plan for its entire acreage.  The Alaska Interagency Fire Management Plan has  mapped the City as Full.     5.3.6.2 Hazard Characteristics A wildland fire is a type of wildfire that spreads through consumption of vegetation. It often  begins unnoticed, spreads quickly, and is usually signaled by dense smoke that may be visible  for miles around. Wildland fires can be caused by human activities (such as arson or unattended  campfires) or by natural events such as lightning. Wildland fires often occur in forests or other  areas with ample vegetation. In addition to wildland fires, wildfires can be classified as tundra  fires, urban fires, interface or intermix fires, and prescribed burns.  The following three factors contribute significantly to wildland fire behavior and can be used to  identify wildland fire hazard areas.   Topography: As slope increases, the rate of wildland fire spread increases. South‐facing  slopes are also subject to more solar radiation, making them drier, and thereby,  intensifying wildland fire behavior. However, ridgetops may mark the end of wildland  fire spread since fire spreads more slowly or may even be unable to spread downhill.   Fuel: The type and condition of vegetation plays a significant role in the occurrence and  spread of wildland fires. Certain types of plants are more susceptible to burning or will  burn with greater intensity. Dense or overgrown vegetation increases the amount of  combustible material available to fuel the fire (referred to as the “fuel load”). The ratio  of living to dead plant matter is also important. Climate change is deemed to increase  wildfire risk significantly during periods of prolonged drought as the moisture content of  both living and dead plant matter decreases. The fuel load continuity, both horizontally  and vertically, is also an important factor.   Weather: The most variable factor affecting wildland fire behavior is weather.  Temperature, humidity, wind, and lightning can affect chances for ignition and spread of  fire. Extreme weather, such as high temperatures and low humidity, can lead to extreme  wildland fire activity. By contrast, cooling and higher humidity often signal reduced  wildland fire occurrence and easier containment.  Climate change increases the  susceptibility of vegetation to fire due to longer dry seasons.  The frequency and severity of wildland fires is also dependent on other hazards, such as  lightning, drought, and infestations (such as the damage caused by spruce‐bark beetle  infestations or spruce needle aphids). The risk of wildfire has increased significantly over the  past two decades, due in large part to the spruce‐bark beetle infestation.   If not promptly  Page 75 Hazard Profiles 44 controlled, wildland fires may grow into an emergency or disaster. Even small fires can  threaten lives and resources and destroy improved properties; they can also impact  transportation corridors and/or infrastructure.  In addition to affecting people, wildland  fires may severely affect livestock and pets. Such events may require emergency  water/food, evacuation, and shelter.  Figure 12. Alaska Fire Management Options   The indirect effects of wildland fires can be catastrophic. In addition to stripping the land of  vegetation and destroying forest resources, large, intense fires can harm the soil, waterways,  and the land itself. Soil exposed to intense heat may lose its capability to absorb moisture and  support life. Exposed soils erode quickly and enhance rivers and stream siltation, thereby  enhancing flood potential, harming aquatic life, and degrading water quality. Lands stripped of  vegetation are also subject to increased debris flow hazards.  Conflagration fires are very difficult to control.  Complicating factors are wind, temperature,  slope, proximity of structures, and community firefighting capability, as well as building  construction and contents.  Additional factors facing response efforts are hazardous substance  releases, structure collapse, water service interruptions, unorganized evacuations, and loss of  emergency shelters.  Historical national conflagration examples include the Chicago City Fire of  1871 and the San Francisco City Fire following the 1906 earthquake.  There have been no  conflagration fires within the City of Kenai.    Page 76 Hazard Profiles 45 Many wildland firefighters are neither equipped nor trained for conflagration fires.  When  wildland firefighters encounter structure, vehicle, dump or other non‐vegetative fires during  the performance of their wildland fire suppression duties, firefighting efforts are often limited  to wildland areas.  Structural fire suppression within defined service areas is the responsibility of the Kenai Fire  Department.    5.3.6.3 Climate Factors According to the Global Climate Change Impacts in the U.S., published in 2009 by the U.S.  Global Change Research Program, “Under changing climate conditions, the average area  burned per year in Alaska is projected to double by the middle of this century.  By the end of  this century, area burned by fire is projected to triple under a moderate greenhouse gas  emissions scenario and to quadruple under a higher emissions scenario” (DHS&EM, 2018a).  Since 1990, Alaska has experienced nearly twice the number of wildfires per decade compared  to a period from 1950 to 1980.  Additionally, the sparsely‐populated arctic region experienced  only three wildfires over 1,000 acres from 1950 to 1970.  Since 2000, there have been over 33  large wildfires in this same region.  The average duration of the wildfire season in the arctic region runs from May through July.   Other regions south of the arctic may run from late April through mid‐September.  Average  annual precipitation in Alaska has increased since 1950, but not quite as much as the average  annual temperature.  Wind blows down dead trees that have been affected by spruce‐bark beetles.  As air  temperatures warm, spruce‐bark beetles spread; typically, this occurs when temperatures are  over 60 ℉.    5.3.6.4 History The City does not have a history of fire events in the DHS&EM Disaster Cost Index (DHS&EM,  2018b).  AICC maintains a website to consolidate Alaska’s tundra fire information. Information  in Table 9 and Figure 13 for the City and surrounding area were obtained from this site.  Figure  14 shows the State’s fire risk (DHS&EM, 2018a).  Table 9.

Vulnerability Analysis This section provides an overview of the vulnerability analysis.  OVERVIEW OF A VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS A vulnerability analysis predicts the exposure extent that may result from a given hazard event  and its impact intensity within the planning area. This qualitative analysis provides data to  identify and prioritize potential mitigation measures by allowing the community to focus  attention on areas with the greatest risk. A vulnerability or risk analysis is divided into the  following five focus areas:   1. Asset Inventory;  2. Infrastructure Risk, Vulnerability, and Losses from Identified Hazards;  3. Development Changes and Trends;  4. Data Limitations; and  5. Vulnerability Assessments.  DMA 2000 requirements and implementing state governance regulations for developing risk  and vulnerability assessment initiatives are described below.    DMA 2000 Requirements: Risk Assessment, Assessing Vulnerability, Overview Assessing Vulnerability: Overview §201.6(c)(2)(ii): The risk assessment shall include a] description of the jurisdiction’s vulnerability to the hazards  described. This description shall include an overall summary of each hazard and its impact on the community. 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 paragraph  (c)(2)(ii)(A) of 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.

Element  Does the plan describe land uses and development trends? Source: FEMA, 2015.   The City has been a deferred code enforcement entity since the late 1970s enforcing local  building, fire, and life safety codes in plan reviews for new construction. This provides local  access and oversight in new construction without requiring plans being sent through the State  Fire Marshal’s office in Anchorage.  Zoning changes are needed to comply with the 2016 City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan and to  prevent infrastructure loss near the eroding Kenai Bluffs. Public Works has been addressing this  for several years, and the City has restricted new construction near hazardous areas, and  infrastructure has been relocated to prevent added loss or damage (water and sewer lines,  utilities, etc.).  The 2016 City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan projects modest economic growth and population  increase.  The region’s main economic sectors of energy, fishing/fish processing, and tourism  also experienced modest growth.  Kenai is expected to continue as a trade and services center  for the region.  Consistent with regional and national trends, the proportion of people aged 65  and older is expected to increase within the City.  The City of Kenai’s median age is lower than  the national median age and slightly higher than the State of Alaska’s median age.  Approximately 1,680 homes and businesses (4,000‐5,000 users) are connected to the City’s  water and sewer system.  This is approximately 70% of the City’s population.  The City has four  operational well houses and a wastewater treatment plant.  A new 1,000,000‐gallon water  reservoir was constructed in 2016.  Of the 99 miles of roads in Kenai, the City of Kenai  maintains approximately 60 miles, including approximately 15 miles of gravel‐surfaced roads.   Improvements to the road system to create more vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the City  Center and provide safety and efficiency in travel could include paving more streets,  constructing sidewalks, creating trail linkages, and expanding road shoulders.  The Kenai  Municipal Airport is currently undergoing a major remodeling.  The Kenai Municipal Airport is  the largest airport within the KPB and is an important distribution center in the area.  The City has an ample supply of vacant land for future development.  Development near  existing City services will make the best use of public development expenditures.  Commercial  and retail development along the highway corridors has created a linear City form.  Residential  development is dispersed, and multiple commercial centers are emerging in the City.  Page 83 Vulnerability Analysis 52 6.2.1.5 Data Limitations The vulnerability estimates provided herein use the best data currently available, and the  methodologies applied result in a risk approximation. These estimates may be used to  understand relative risk from hazards and potential losses. However, uncertainties are inherent  in any loss estimation methodology, arising in part from incomplete scientific knowledge  concerning hazards and their effects on the built environment as well as the use of  approximations and simplifications that are necessary for a comprehensive analysis.  It is also important to note that the quantitative vulnerability assessment results are limited to  the exposure of people, buildings, and critical facilities and infrastructure to the identified  hazards. It was beyond the scope of this HMP to develop a more detailed or comprehensive  assessment of risk (including annualized losses, people injured or killed, shelter requirements,  loss of facility/system function, and economic losses). Such impacts may be addressed with  future updates of this HMP.  6.2.1.6 Vulnerability Assessments Hazards are assessed with regards to their vulnerabilities in this section.  Flood and Erosion Vulnerabilities The 2018 State of Alaska HMP categorizes the KPB at risk of experiencing high flooding and  erosion impacts.  City Dock facilities are somewhat vulnerable to flood conditions, but were  constructed with those events in mind, and generally remain usable in a flood event.  The City does not participate in the NFIP.  This decision was made in the 1980s, and current  staff do not know the reasoning behind the decision other than there was/is not much  development in the floodplain.  The current Planning Department is open to considering  participation in the NFIP after further evaluation.  The Kenai Bluffs erosion is an important concern of the City’s.  The City has taken steps to  preserve the integrity of protective dunes by installing permanent fencing.  Kenai’s erosion‐threatened population and infrastructure potentially include: the existing,  transient, and future population, residential structures, critical facilities, and infrastructure that  are exposed to changing flooding and erosion impacts.   Fire Vulnerabilities The 2018 State of Alaska HMP categorizes the KPB at risk of experiencing high fire impacts.  Impacts associated with a fire event include the potential for loss of life and property. Buildings  closer to the outer edge of town, those with a lot of vegetation surrounding the structure, and  those constructed with wood are some of the buildings that are more vulnerable to the impacts  of fire.  The City maintains a defensible space around all City facilities as a preventative measure  for wildland fires.  Dry forest conditions increase fire fuels and insect infestations.  These conditions create  optimum conditions for fire propagation, especially around housing and other areas where fire

Critical Facilities Locations  Page 86 Vulnerability Analysis 55 Earthquake Vulnerabilities Alaska should expect the full spectrum of potential earthquake ground motion scenarios.   Severe shaking may result in infrastructure damage that is equally as extreme.  Although all  structures are at some risk due to earthquakes, short wooden buildings are less vulnerable than  multi‐story and complex masonry/steel structures.  The majority of Alaska’s schools, State, and  Federal buildings are built and sited based on stringent seismic construction standards and are  expected to survive major earthquake events.  The 2018 State of Alaska HMP categorizes the KPB at risk of experiencing high earthquake  impacts.  Protective measures are in place to minimize damage such as housing emergency  generators inside critical facilities and meeting construction standards for the seismic zone.  Due to Alaska’s highly active geologic setting at a tectonic plate boundary, existing and future  populations, residential structures, critical facilities, and infrastructure will be exposed to  continued earthquakes of various magnitudes—from those that are barely felt to those that  detrimentally affect large regions of the State.  Severe Weather Vulnerabilities The 2018 State of Alaska HMP categorizes the KPB at risk of experiencing high severe weather  impacts. Impacts associated with severe weather events include roof collapse, trees and power  lines falling, damage to light aircraft and sinking small boats, and injury and death resulting  from snow machine or vehicle accidents and overexertion while shoveling (all due to heavy  snow). A quick thaw after a heavy snow can also cause substantial flooding. Impacts from  extreme cold include hypothermia, halting transportation from fog and ice, congealed fuel,  frozen pipes, disruption in utilities, frozen pipes, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Buildings that  are older and/or not constructed with materials designed to withstand heavy snow and wind  (e.g., hurricane ties on crossbeams) are more vulnerable to the impacts of severe weather.  The  entire State is threatened by severe weather events.    Severe weather will occur annually in Kenai.  Climate change impacts vary across Alaska.  These  conditions will negatively impact existing and future populations, residential structures, critical  facilities, and infrastructure.     Volcanic Ashfall Vulnerabilities The 2018 State of Alaska HMP categorizes the KPB at risk of experiencing high volcanic impacts.  Impacts associated with an ashfall event include the potential for ashfall to damage motors and  impair air quality.    Changes in the Cryosphere Vulnerabilities Alaska can expect to experience ever‐changing effects from melting polar ice sheets, mountain  glaciers, and other cryosphere impacts.  According to mapping completed by the USGS, Kenai  does not have permafrost at ground level.  Sea ice and river ice affect Kenai.    Similar to weather vulnerabilities, changing cryospheric conditions also vary across Alaska.   Therefore, the entire population and infrastructure could be vulnerable to recurrent cryosphere  hazard impacts.      Page 87 Mitigation Strategy 56   7. Mitigation Strategy A mitigation strategy provides the blueprint for implementing desired activities that will enable  the City to continue to save lives and preserve infrastructure by systematically reducing hazard  impacts, damages, and community disruptions.  This section outlines the process for preparing  a mitigation strategy including:   1. Develop Mitigation Goals to mitigate the hazards and risks identified (see Sections 5 and  6).  2. Identify Mitigation Actions to meet the Mitigation Goals.  3. Evaluate Mitigation Actions.  a. Describe and analyze Local mitigation policies, programs, and funding sources.  b. Evaluate Federal and State hazard management policies, programs, capabilities,  and funding sources.  4. Implement the Mitigation Action Plan (MAP).  Within this section, the Hazard Mitigation Project Team developed mitigation goals and  potential mitigation actions.  DEVELOPING MITIGATION GOALS Requirements for hazard mitigation goals, as stipulated in DMA 2000 and its implementing  regulations, are described below.  DMA 2000 Requirements: Mitigation Strategy –Hazard Mitigation Goals Local Hazard Mitigation Goals Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(i): [The hazard mitigation strategy shall include a] description of mitigation goals to reduce or avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards. Element  Does the plan include a description of mitigation goals to reduce or avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards? Source: FEMA, 2015. The exposure analysis results were used as a basis for developing the mitigation goals and  actions. Mitigation goals are defined as general guidelines that describe what a community  wants to achieve in terms of hazard and loss prevention. Goal statements are typically long‐ range, policy‐oriented statements representing community‐wide visions. As such, goals were  developed to reduce or avoid long‐term vulnerabilities to identified hazards (Table 13).  Goals  are numbered according to the order of hazard priority; hazard designations are abbreviated  as:   F&E (Flooding and Erosion);   F (Fire);   EQ (Earthquakes);   V (Volcanic Ash);   SW (Severe Weather); and   Page 88 Mitigation Strategy 57  G (General).  Table 13. Mitigation Goals No. Goal Description  F&E1a  Reduce or eliminate the erosion of the bluff at the mouth of the Kenai River.  Note that this goal incorporates  the changes to the cryosphere hazard with the erosion hazard.  F&E1b  Reduce or eliminate property damage and influx of debris into waterways due to floods by raising public  awareness and through zoning changes.  F2 Reduce or eliminate loss of homes and property due to fires.  EQ 3 Prepare citizens and the built environment to better survive the hazards associated with earthquakes.  V 4 Educate citizens to adequately protect themselves and property from hazards of volcanic ash.  SW 5 Educate citizens and the built environment to better survive the hazards associated with severe weather.  G 6 Identify ways for the City to better prepare for an emergency.  IDENTIFYING MITIGATION ACTIONS Requirements for identification and analysis of mitigation actions, as stipulated in DMA 2000  and its implementing regulations, are described below.   DMA 2000 Requirements: Mitigation Strategy - Identification and Analysis of Mitigation Actions Identification and Analysis of Mitigation Actions Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(ii): [The mitigation strategy shall include a] section that identifies and analyzes a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions and projects being considered to reduce the effects of each hazard, with particular emphasis on new and existing buildings and infrastructure. Element  Does the plan identify and analyze a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions and projects for each hazard?  Do the identified actions and projects address reducing the effects of hazards on new buildings and infrastructure?  Do the identified actions and projects address reducing the effects of hazards on existing buildings and infrastructure? Source: FEMA, 2015.   After mitigation goals and actions were developed, the Planning Team assessed the potential  mitigation actions to carry forward into the mitigation strategy. Mitigation actions are activities,  measures, or projects that help achieve the goals of an HMP. Mitigation actions are usually  grouped into three broad categories:  property protection, public education and awareness,  and structural projects. The Planning Team placed particular emphasis on projects and  programs that reduce the effects of hazards on both new and existing buildings and  infrastructure. These potential projects are listed in Table 16.    EVALUATING AND PRIORITIZING MITIGATION ACTIONS Requirements for the evaluation and implementation of mitigation actions, as stipulated in  DMA 2000 and its implementing regulations, are described below.  DMA 2000 Requirements: Mitigation Strategy - Implementation of Mitigation Actions Implementation of Mitigation Actions Page 89 Mitigation Strategy 58 DMA 2000 Requirements: Mitigation Strategy - Implementation of Mitigation Actions Requirement: §201.6(c)(3)(iii): [The mitigation strategy section shall include] an action plan describing how the actions identified in Section (c)(3)(ii) will be prioritized, implemented, and administered by the Local Government. Prioritization shall include a special emphasis on the extent to which benefits are maximized according to a cost benefit review of the proposed projects and their associated costs. Element  Does the mitigation strategy include how the actions are prioritized?  Does the mitigation strategy address how the actions will be implemented and administered?  Does the prioritization process include an emphasis on the use of a cost-benefit review to maximize benefits? Source: FEMA, 2015. The Planning Team identified mitigation actions on October 30, 2019, to determine which  actions would be retained in the MAP. The MAP contained in Table 14 represents potential  mitigation projects and programs. The Hazard Mitigation Planning Team ranked the top three  hazards with the potential to impact Kenai as erosion, fire, and earthquakes.  Table 14.

Plan Maintenance This section describes a formal plan maintenance process to ensure that this HMP remains an  active and applicable document. It includes an explanation of how the City’s Hazard Mitigation  Project Team intends to organize their efforts to ensure that improvements and revisions to the  HMP occur in a well‐managed, efficient, and coordinated manner.   The following three process steps are addressed in detail here:  1. Monitoring, evaluating, and updating the HMP;  2. Implementation through existing planning mechanisms; and   3. Continued public involvement.  MONITORING, EVALUATING, AND UPDATING THE HMP Requirements for monitoring, evaluating, and updating the HMP, as stipulated in the DMA 2000  and its implementing regulations, are described below.    DMA 2000 Requirements: Plan Maintenance Process - Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating the Plan Monitoring, Evaluating and Updating the Plan Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(i, ii, and iii): [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; b] a process by which local government incorporates the requirements of the mitigation plan into other planning mechanisms such as comprehensive or capital improvement plans, when appropriate; and c] discussion on how the community will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process. Element  Does the plan describe the method and schedule of monitoring the plan, including the responsible department?  Does the plan describe a system for monitoring implementation of mitigation measures and project closeouts?  Does the plan describe the method and schedule for updating the plan within the five-year cycle? Source: FEMA, 2015.   This HMP was prepared as a collaborative effort among the Hazard Mitigation Project Team and  LeMay Engineering & Consulting, Inc. To maintain momentum, the City Planner will use the  Hazard Mitigation Project Team to monitor, evaluate, and update the HMP. Each authority  identified in Table 16 will be responsible for implementing the MAP. The City Planner will serve  as the primary point of contact and will coordinate local efforts to monitor, evaluate, and revise  the HMP.  Each member of the Hazard Mitigation Project Team will conduct an annual review during the  anniversary week of the HMP’s official FEMA approval date to monitor the progress in  implementing the HMP, particularly the MAP. As shown in Appendix E, the Annual Review  Worksheet will provide the basis for possible changes in the HMP MAP by refocusing on new or  more threatening hazards, adjusting to changes to or increases in resource allocations, and  engaging additional support for the HMP implementation. The City Planner will initiate the  annual review two months prior to the scheduled planning meeting date to ensure that all data  is assembled for discussion with the Hazard Mitigation Project Team. The findings from these  reviews will be presented at the annual Hazard Mitigation Project Team Meeting. Each review,  as shown on the Annual Review Worksheet, will include an evaluation of the following:   Participation of authorities and others in the HMP implementation;  Page 97 Plan Maintenance 66  Notable changes in the risk of natural or human‐caused hazards;   Impacts of land development activities and related programs on hazard mitigation;   Progress made with the MAP (identify problems and suggest improvements as  necessary and provide progress reports on implemented mitigation actions); and    The adequacy of local resources for implementation of the HMP.  A system of reviewing the progress on achieving the mitigation goals and implementing the  MAP activities and projects will also be accomplished during the annual review process. During  each annual review, each authority administering a mitigation project will submit a Progress  Report to the Hazard Mitigation Project Team. As shown in Appendix E, the report will include  the current status of the mitigation project, including any changes made to the project, the  identification of implementation problems and appropriate strategies to overcome them, and  whether or not the project has helped achieve the appropriate goals identified in the HMP.   In addition to the annual review, the Hazard Mitigation Project Team will update the HMP every  five years. To ensure that this update occurs, in the fourth year following adoption of the HMP,  the Hazard Mitigation Project Team will undertake the following activities:   Request grant assistance from DHS&EM and FEMA to update the HMP (this can take up  to one year to obtain and one year to update the HMP);   Thoroughly analyze and update the risk of natural hazards;   Provide a new annual review (as noted above), plus a review of the three previous  annual reviews;   Provide a detailed review and revision of the mitigation strategy;   Prepare an updated MAP for the City;   Prepare an updated Draft HMP;   Submit an updated Draft HMP to DHS&EM and FEMA for approval;    Submit the DSH&EM‐ and FEMA‐approved plan for adoption by the City Council; and   Return adoption resolution to FEMA to receive formal approval.  IMPLEMENTATION THROUGH EXISTING PLANNING MECHANISMS Requirements for implementation through existing planning mechanisms, as stipulated in DMA  2000 and its implementing regulations, are described below.      Page 98 Plan Maintenance 67 DMA 2000 Requirements: Plan Maintenance Process - Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms Requirements §201.6(c)(4)(ii): [The plan shall include a] process by which the Local Government integrates the HMP into other ongoing City planning efforts as well as other planning mechanisms such as comprehensive or capital improvement plans when appropriate. Element  Does the plan identify other planning mechanisms available for incorporating the mitigation requirements of the mitigation plan?  Does the plan include a process by which the City government will incorporate the mitigation strategy and other information contained in the plan (e.g., risk assessment) into other planning mechanisms, when appropriate? Source: FEMA, 2015. After the adoption of the HMP, the City Planner will ensure that the HMP, in particular each  Mitigation Action Project, is incorporated into existing planning mechanisms. The City Planner  will achieve this incorporation by undertaking the following activities.   Conduct a review of the community‐specific regulatory tools to assess the integration of  the mitigation strategy. These regulatory tools are identified in the capability  assessment section (Tables 17‐19).    Work with pertinent community departments to increase awareness of the HMP and  provide assistance in integrating the mitigation strategy (including the MAP) into  relevant planning mechanisms. Implementation of these requirements may require  updating or amending specific planning mechanisms.    The City Planner will be responsible for providing a copy of this HMP to contractors  focused on developing new or updating existing Local Plans and ensuring that this HMP  is incorporated into plans as applicable.  The City will involve the public to continually reshape and update this HMP.  A paper copy of  this HMP will be available at City Hall.  This HMP will also be stored on the State DCCED/DCRA’s  plans website for public reference.  Planners are encouraged to integrate components of this  HMP into their own plans.  The following tables outline the resources available to the City for mitigation related funding  and training. The tables delineate the City’s regulatory tools, technical specialists, and financial  resources available for project management.                  Page 99 Plan Maintenance 68 Table 17.

Element  Does the plan explain how continued public participation will be obtained? Source: FEMA, 2015. The City is dedicated to involving the public directly in the continual reshaping and updating of  the HMP. A paper copy of the HMP and any proposed changes will be available at the City  Planning Office. An address and phone number of the City Planner to whom people can direct  their comments or concerns will also be available at the City Office.  The City Planner will also identify opportunities to raise community awareness about the HMP  and the hazards that affect the area with.  The City will host a booth at the Community Health  Fair that occurs each spring.  The purpose of the booth will be to remind the public about the  importance of mitigation and hand out community surveys (see Appendix E) to gauge what  areas of mitigation the community feels is relevant.  Any public comments received regarding  the HMP will be collected by the City Planner, included in the annual report, and considered  during future HMP updates.  POTENTIAL FUNDING RESOURCES Federal Resources   The Federal government requires Local Governments to have an HMP in place to be eligible for  mitigation funding opportunities through FEMA such as the UHMA Programs and the HMGP.  The Mitigation Technical Assistance Programs available to Local governments are also a  valuable resource. FEMA may also provide temporary housing assistance through rental  assistance, mobile homes, furniture rental, mortgage assistance, and emergency home repairs.  The Disaster Preparedness Improvement Grant also promotes educational opportunities with  respect to hazard awareness and mitigation.   FEMA, through its Emergency Management Institute, offers training in many aspects of  emergency management, including hazard mitigation. FEMA has also developed a large  number of documents that address implementing hazard mitigation at the local level.  Key resource documents are available from the FEMA Publication Warehouse (1‐800‐ 480‐2520) and are briefly described here:  o How‐to Guides. FEMA has developed a series of how‐to guides to assist States,  communities, and Tribes in enhancing their hazard mitigation planning capabilities.  The first four guides describe the four major phases of hazard mitigation planning.  The last five how‐to guides address special topics that arise in hazard mitigation  planning such as conducting cost‐benefit analysis and preparing multi‐jurisdictional  Page 102 Plan Maintenance 71 plans. The use of worksheets, checklists, and tables make these guides a practical  source of guidance to address all stages of the hazard mitigation planning process.  They also include special tips on meeting DMA 2000 requirements.   o Post‐Disaster Hazard Mitigation Planning Guidance for State and Local Governments.  FEMA DAP‐12, September 1990. This handbook explains the basic concepts of  hazard mitigation and shows State, Tribal, and Local governments how they can  develop and achieve mitigation goals within the context of FEMA's post‐disaster  hazard mitigation planning requirements. The handbook focuses on approaches to  mitigation, with an emphasis on multi‐objective planning.   o Mitigation Resources for Success compact disc (CD). FEMA 372, September 2001.  This CD contains a wealth of information about mitigation and is useful for State,  Tribal, and Local government planners and other stakeholders in the mitigation  process. It provides mitigation case studies, success stories, information about  Federal mitigation programs, suggestions for mitigation measures to homes and  businesses, appropriate relevant mitigation publications, and contact information.   o A Guide to Federal Aid in Disasters. FEMA 262, April 1995. When disasters exceed  the capabilities of State, Tribal, and Local governments, the President's disaster  assistance programs (administered by FEMA) is the primary source of Federal  assistance. This handbook discusses the procedures and process for obtaining this  assistance, and provides a brief overview of each program.   o The Emergency Management Guide for Business and Industry. FEMA 141, October  1993. This guide provides a step‐by‐step approach to emergency management  planning, response, and recovery. It also details a planning process that businesses  can follow to better prepare for a wide range of hazards and emergency events. This  effort can enhance a business's ability to recover from financial losses, loss of  market share, damages to equipment, and product or business interruptions. This  guide could be of great assistance to a community's industries and businesses  located in hazard prone areas.  o The FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance Guidance and Addendum, February 5, 2015.  The guidance introduces the five HMA grant programs, funding opportunities, award  information, eligibility, application and submission information, application review  process, administering the grant, contracts, additional program guidance, additional  project guidance, and contains information and resource appendices (FEMA, 2015).  

This department also administers programs for State "distressed" and "targeted"  communities.   Division of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The DEC’s primary roles and  responsibilities concerning hazards mitigation are ensuring safe food and safe water,  and pollution prevention and pollution response. DEC ensures water treatment plants,  landfills, and bulk fuel storage tank farms are safely constructed and operated in  communities. Agency and facility response plans include hazards identification and  pollution prevention and response strategies.  Page 105 Plan Maintenance 74  Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT/PF) personnel provide technical  assistance to the various emergency management programs, to include mitigation. This  assistance is addressed in the DHS&EM‐DOT/PF Memorandum of Agreement and  includes, but, is not limited to: environmental reviews, archaeological surveys, and  historic preservation reviews.  In addition, DOT/PF and DHS&EM coordinate buy‐out projects to ensure that there are  no potential right‐of‐way conflicts with future use of land for bridge and highway  projects, and collaborate on earthquake mitigation.  Additionally, DOT/PF provides safe, efficient, economical, and effective operation of the  State's highways, harbors, and airports. DOT/PF uses it's Planning, Design and  Engineering, Maintenance and Operations, and Intelligent Transportation Systems  resources to identify the hazard, plan and initiate mitigation activities to meet the  transportation needs of Alaskans and make Alaska a better place to live and work.  DOT/PF budgets for the temporary replacement bridges and materials necessary to  make the multi‐modal transportation system operational following a natural disaster.   The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) administers various projects designed to  reduce stream bank erosion, reduce localized flooding, improve drainage, and improve  discharge water quality through the stormwater grant program funds. Within DNR, the  Division of Geological and Geophysical Survey (DGGS) is responsible for the use and  development of Alaska's mineral, land, and water resources, and collaboration on  earthquake mitigation.  o DNR’s DGGS collects and distributes information about the State's geologic  resources and hazards. Their geologists and support staff are leaders in researching  Alaska's geology and implementing technological tools to most efficiently collect,  interpret, publish, archive, and disseminate that information to the public  o The DNR’s Division of Forestry (DOF) participates in a statewide wildfire control  program in cooperation with the forest industry, rural fire departments, and other  agencies. Prescribed burning may increase the risks of fire hazards; however,  prescribed burning reduces the availability of fire fuels, and therefore, the potential  for future, more serious fires.  o DOF also manages various wildland fire programs, activities, and grant programs  such as the FireWise Program, the Community Forestry Program (CFP) and the

all actions will be coordinated.  Erosion: The wearing away of the land surface by running water, wind, ice, or other  geological agents.  Federal Disaster Declaration: See Presidential Disaster Declaration.  Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA): A federal agency created in 1979 to  provide a single point of accountability for all federal activities related to hazard  mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.  Flash Flood: A flood event occurring with little or no warning where water levels rise at  an extremely fast rate.  Flood: A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry  land areas from (1) the overflow of inland or tidal waters, (2) the unusual and rapid  accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source, or (3) mudflows or  the sudden collapse of shoreline land.  Floodplain: A "floodplain" is the lowland adjacent to a river, lake, or ocean. Floodplains are  designated by the frequency of the flood that is large enough to cover them. For  example, the 10‐year floodplain will be covered by the 10‐year flood; the 100‐year  floodplain by the 100‐year flood.  "Flood frequencies:" Frequencies are determined by plotting a graph of the size of all  known floods for an area and determining how often floods of a particular size  occur. The frequency is the chance of a flood occurring during a given timeframe. It  is the percentage of the probability of flooding each year. For example, the 100‐ year flood has a 1% chance, and the 10‐year flood has a 10% chance of occurring in  any given year.  Geographic Information System: A computer software application that relates physical  features of the earth to a database that can be used for mapping and analysis.  Governing Body: The legislative body of a jurisdiction such as a municipal or Borough  assembly or a city council.

Hydro Unit: Short for Hydrologic Unit. A drainage area delineated to nest in a multi‐level,  hierarchical drainage system.  Its boundaries are defined by hydrographic and  topographic criteria that delineate an area of land upstream from a specific point on  a river, stream, or similar surface water.  A hydrologic unit can accept surface water  directly from upstream drainage areas, and indirectly from associated surface areas  such as remnant, non‐contributing, and diversions to form a drainage area with  single or multiple outlet points.   Infrastructure: The public services of a community that have a direct impact to the quality  of life. Infrastructure refers to communication technology such as phone lines or  Internet access, vital services such as public water supply and sewer treatment  facilities, and includes an area’s transportation system, regional dams or bridges,  etc.  Inundation: The maximum horizontal distance inland reached by a tsunami.  Landslide: Downward movement of a slope and materials under the force of gravity.  Liquefaction: The phenomenon that occurs when ground shaking cause’s loose soils to lose  strength and act like a thick or viscous fluid. Liquefaction causes two types of ground

Natural Disaster: Any natural catastrophe, including any hurricane, tornado, storm, high  water, wind, driven water, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide,  snowstorm, fire, or drought. (44 CFR Subpart M206.401).  New Construction: New construction means structures for which the “start of construction”  on or after the effective date of a floodplain management regulation adopted by a  community and includes any subsequent improvement to such structures.  One Hundred (100)‐Year: The flood elevation that has a one‐percent chance of occurring in  any given year. It is also known as the Base Flood.  Overlay Zone: Overlay zones (overlay districts) create a framework for conservation or  development of special geographical areas. In a special resource overlay district,  overlay provisions typically impose greater restrictions on the development of land,  but only regarding those parcels whose development, as permitted under the  zoning, may threaten the viability of the natural resource. In a development area  overlay district, the provisions may impose restrictions as well, but also may provide  zoning incentives and waivers to encourage certain types and styles of  development. Overlay zone provisions are often complemented by the adoption of  other innovative zoning techniques, such as floating zones, special permits,  incentive zoning, cluster development and special site plan or subdivision  regulations, to name a few.  Period: A length of time. For waves, it is the length of time between two successive peaks or  troughs, which may vary due to interference of waves. Tsunami periods generally  range from 5 to 60 minutes.   Planning: The act or process of making or carrying out plans; the establishment of  goals, policies and procedures for a social or economic unit.  Preparedness: The steps taken to decide what to do if essential services break down,  developing a plan for contingencies, and practicing the plan. Preparedness ensures  that people are ready for a disaster and will respond to it effectively.  Presidential Disaster Declaration: The formal action by the President of the United States to  make a state eligible for major disaster or emergency assistance under the  Robert T. Stafford Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93‐ 288, as  amended.  Probability: A statistical measure of the likelihood that a hazard event will occur.  Recovery: The long‐term activities beyond the initial crisis period and emergency  response phase of disaster operations that focus on returning all systems in the  community to a normal status or to reconstitute these systems to a new, less  vulnerable condition.  Page 113 Response: Those activities and programs designed to address the immediate and short‐ term effects of the onset of an emergency or disaster.  Retrofit: The strengthening of existing structures to mitigate disaster risks.  Risk: The estimated impact that a hazard would have on people, services, facilities, and  structures in a community; the likelihood of a hazard event resulting in an  adverse condition that causes injury or damage. Risk is often expressed in relative  terms such as a high, moderate or low likelihood of sustaining damage above a  particular threshold due to a specific type of hazard event. It can also be  expressed in terms of potential monetary losses associated with the intensity of  the hazard.  Riverine: Relating to, formed by, or resembling rivers (including tributaries), streams,  creeks, brooks, etc.  Riverine Flooding: Flooding related to or caused by a river, stream, or tributary overflowing  its banks due to excessive rainfall, snowmelt or ice.  Runoff: That portion of precipitation that is not intercepted by vegetation, absorbed by land  surface, or evaporated, and thus flows overland into a depression, stream, lake, or  ocean (runoff, called immediate subsurface runoff, also takes place in the upper  layers of soil).  Run‐up: The maximum vertical height of a tsunami in relation to sea level.  Seiche: An oscillating wave (also referred to as a seismic sea wave) in a partially or fully  enclosed body of water. May be initiated by long period seismic waves, wind and  water waves, or a tsunami.  Stafford Act: 1) The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public  Law 93‐288, as amended. 2) The Stafford Act provides an orderly and  continuing means of assistance by the Federal Government to State, local and  tribal governments in carrying out their responsibilities to alleviate the suffering  and damage which result from disaster.  State Disaster Declaration: A disaster emergency shall be declared by executive order  or proclamation of the Governor upon finding that a disaster has occurred or  that the occurrence or the threat of a disaster is imminent. The state of disaster  emergency shall continue until the governor finds that the threat or danger has  passed or that the disaster has been dealt with to the extent that emergency  conditions no longer exist and terminates the state of disaster emergency by  executive order or proclamation. Along with other provisions, this declaration  allows the governor to utilize all available resources of the State as reasonably  necessary, direct and compel the evacuation of all or part of the population from  any stricken or threatened area if necessary, prescribe routes, modes of  transportation and destinations in connection with evacuation and control  ingress and egress to and from disaster area. It is required before a Presidential  Disaster Declaration can be requested.  Page 114 State Hazard Mitigation Officer (SHMO): The SHMO is the representative of state  government who is the primary point of contact with FEMA, other state and  Federal agencies, and local units of government in the planning and implementation  of pre‐ and post‐disaster mitigation activities.  Storm Surge: Rise in the water surface above normal water level on open coast due to the  action of wind stress and atmospheric pressure on the water surface.  Stream: A body of water flowing in a natural surface channel.  Flow may be continuous or only  during wet periods. Streams that flow only during wet periods are termed  “intermittent streams.”  Structure: That which is constructed above or below ground in some definite manner for any  use or purpose.  Subdivision Regulations: Ordinances or regulations governing the subdivision of land with  respect to things such as adequacy and suitability of building sites and utilities and  public facilities.  Tectonic Plate: Torsionally rigid, thin segments of the earth’s lithosphere that may be  assumed to move horizontally and adjoin other plates. It is the friction between  plate boundaries that causes seismic activity.  Topography: The contour of the land surface. The technique of graphically representing  the exact physical features of a place or region on a map.  Tribal Government: A Federally recognized governing body of an Indian or Alaska Native  Tribe, band, nation, pueblo, village or community that the Secretary of the  Interior acknowledges to exist as an Indian tribe under the Federally Recognized  Tribe List Act of 1994, 25 U.S.C. 479a. This does not include Alaska Native  corporations, the ownership of which is vested in private individuals.  Tsunami: A sea wave produced by submarine earth movement or volcanic eruption with  a sudden rise or fall of a section of the earth's crust under or near the ocean. A  seismic disturbance or land slide can displace the water column, creating a rise or  fall in the level of the ocean above. This rise or fall in sea level is the initial  formation of a tsunami wave.  Volcano:  A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot  magma, ash, and gases to escape from below the surface. Volcanoes are generally  found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid‐oceanic ridge, for  example the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent  tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes  caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together.  Vulnerability: Describes how exposed or susceptible to damage an asset it. Vulnerability  depends on an asset’s construction, contents, and the economic value of its  functions.  The vulnerability of one element of the community is often related to  the vulnerability of another. For example, many businesses depend on uninterrupted  electrical power – if an electrical substation is flooded, it will affect not only the  Page 115 substation itself, but a number of businesses as well. Other, indirect effects can  be much more widespread and damaging than direct ones.  Vulnerability Assessment: The extent of injury and damage that may result from hazard event  of a given intensity in a given area. The vulnerability assessment should address  impacts of hazard events on the existing and future built environment.  Watercourse: A natural or artificial channel in which a flow of water occurs either continually  or intermittently.  Watershed: An area that drains to a single point. In a natural basin, this is the area  contributing flow to a given place or stream.  Water Surface Elevation: Water surface elevation means the height, in relation to the  National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929, (or other datum, where specified)  of floods of various magnitudes and frequencies in the floodplains of coastal riverine  areas.  Water Table: The uppermost zone of water saturation in the ground.  Wetlands: Areas that are inundated or saturated frequently and for long enough to support  vegetative or aquatic life requiring saturated or seasonally saturated soil conditions  for growth and reproduction.  Wildfire: An uncontrolled fire that spreads though vegetative fuels, exposing and  possibly consuming structures.  Worst Case Scenario: The term “worst case scenario" is somewhat self‐explanatory. It includes  the potential for a “cascade effect", which was assumed in analyzing the risk from  each hazard. The term "cascade effect" is used to describe the triggering of  several hazard occurrences from an initial event. An earthquake for instance, might  also trigger avalanches, collapsed buildings, transportation and utility disruptions,  and hazardous material releases, each of which might trigger additional events,  all part of the same incident.  Zoning Ordinance: An ordinance under the state or local government’s police powers  that divides an area into districts and, within each district, regulates the use of  land and buildings, height, and bulk of buildings or other structures, and the  density of population.     Page 116                         This page was intentionally left blank.  Page 117

The Plan has expired. LeMay Engineering & Consulting, Inc. was hired by DHS&EM to assist in creating a stand alone City of Kenai Hazard Mitigation Plan. The effort to develop this Plan is a public process, and you are invited to participate. Today is Public Meeting #1 as part of the regularly-scheduled Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on October 30, 2019. Within the next two weeks, the City will post the Draft 2019 Hazard Mitigation Plan on its website for review by the community and begin a 30-day public comment period. Public Meeting #2 will occur December 4 at the regularly-scheduled City Council meeting and will serve as a public hearing and forum to provide comments on the Plan. Today’s meeting is a forum to present a summary of the planning process and evaluate mitigation actions for the community. I welcome your input. Comments can be provided during this meeting or by email or phone.

Ice gouges the beach and causes damage. Page 130 Earthquakes•The entire geographic area of Alaska is prone to earthquake effects. The most recent large earthquake occurred on January 24, 2016, with a magnitude of 7.1 and was located 53 miles west of Anchor Point. A total of four homes were destroyed on Lilac Lane.•The USGS earthquake probability model places the probability of an earthquake with a likelihood of experiencing strong shaking within Kenai at 0.6 to 0.8 g PGA with a 2% probability in 50 years. A 2% probability in 50 years is a rare, large earthquake, and statistically, it happens on average every 2,500 years.Page 131 Flood/Erosion•The 2017 FEMA Risk Map study did not identify any areas of concern for the City of Kenai with regards to flooding.•The 2017 FEMA Risk Map study identified the Wastewater Treatment Plant at risk of erosion.•The Kenai Bluffs are 5,000 linear feet of high bank located in the City along the north bank of the Kenai River at the mouth of Cook Inlet. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed a feasibility study in September 2018 that recommended installation of a protective berm at the bluff toe.Page 132 Mitigation Goals for the City of KenaiGoal ID Description1Reduce or eliminate loss of homes and property due to fires.2Reduce or eliminate the erosion of the bluff at the mouth of the Kenai River.3Prepare citizens and the built environment to better survive the hazards associated with earthquakes. 4Prepare citizens to adequately protect themselves and property from the hazards of volcanic ash.5Update the City’s Emergency Operating Plan to ensure the appropriate response to natural hazards.6Update the ARFT as an Emergency Operations Command Center.Page 133 Mitigation Actions for the City of KenaiAction IDDescription Pri-orityRespon-siblePartyPotential FundingTime-frame1Promote the FireWise program including public education programs in school and neighborhoods.

The Plan has expired. LeMay Engineering & Consulting, Inc. was hired by DHS&EM to assist in creating a stand alone City of Kenai Hazard Mitigation Plan. The effort to develop this Plan is a public process, and you are invited to participate. Public Meeting #1 was held as part of the regularly-scheduled Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on October 30, 2019. The City posted the Draft 2019 Hazard Mitigation Plan on its website for review by the community on November 8 and began a 30-day public comment period. Public Meeting #2 will occur as part of tonight’s regularly-scheduled City Council meeting. Tonight’s meeting is a forum to present a summary of the planning process and mitigation actions for the community. I welcome your input.

DUNN Box 163 Kenai, Alaska 99611 (907) 394-2887 dun nw m r(ii>gmail.com LeMay Engineering & Consulting, Inc . jlemay@lemayengineering.com Re: Kenai Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) Dear Ms. LeMay: Thank you for your work on the City of Kenai Hazard Mitigation Plan. The draft submitted for the Kenai City Council meeting (December 4, 2019) provides an admirable account of the major natural hazards facing the City. Bluff erosion in the vicinity of the Kenai River mouth is among the chief hazards facing the City and its property owners. I write today to advocate that the City adopt the goal of mitigating bluff erosion not only in the mile-long stretch of the river mouth encompassed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USA CE) feasibility study (November, 2018), but also in the broader area of the Kenai River mouth that has become so heavily involved in the personal use dip-net fishery. Bluff erosion in this broader area has been significantly affected by the human impacts of this fishery itself and by the impacts of increased use of the beach year-round. For example, there has been a considerable increase in vehicular traffic on the beach since the dip-net fishery has become so popular. As the HMP report states, in 2009 and 2010 the City installed fencing to protect dunes on both the north and south beaches . This mitigation effort was both desperately needed and hugely successful in curtailing the destruction of these environmentally sensitive areas. On the north beach, however, just beyond the limit of the fencing that protects the dunes, below my home, little has been done to protect the fragile and environmentally sensitive bluff. The City has posted small temporary signs during the few weeks of the dip-net fishery, but once these signs are removed the bluff is defenseless. People thoughtlessly climb on the bluff, doing real and appreciable damage . The Kenai City Manager has recently agreed to provide more robust signage for a longer period of time both prior to and after the dip-net fishery , and that should help . As I see it, this is a good first step toward mitigating the hazard of bluff erosion in this area. Of course, the "gold standard" of mitigation for this type of erosion would involve bluff toe stabilization by means of Page 175 Dunn to Lemay Kenai HMP Page 2of2 12/06/2019 an engineered barrier or berm. That would be a costly project, for which I expect the City would have no appetite at this time, but I believe there are other, less costly mitigation measures that might be explored and implemented. In your presentation of the draft HMP to the City Council December 4, 2019, you stated that the HMP is not a binding document but an important statement of the City's goals in the mitigation of identified hazards. Such a statement serves as a starting point, a first step, in securing grant funding for worthy projects. As I see it, there are three distinct areas at the mouth of the Kenai River affected by the bluff erosion hazard: (a) the mile-long stretch ofriver encompassed by the USA CE feasibility study; (b) the dunes on the north and south beaches, which protect against bluff erosion and which need protection themselves; and ( c) the sheer bluff on the north beach parallel to Toyon Way, which is unprotected by dunes or anything else. In the current draft of the HMP, only the first area appears to be covered in Table 16 of the Mitigation Strategy, "City Mitigation Action Plan." I suggest adding two items to this action plan between Action ID Items F&E2a and F&E2b: 1. Maintain (and expand as needed) dune protection measures on the north and south beaches in the vicinity of the Kenai River mouth. 2. Explore and implement bluff protection measures for the sheer bluff on the north beach, which is currently unprotected. Naturally, I am concerned about the bluff erosion hazard near my home. There are about a dozen structures along this unprotected stretch of sheer bluff, beautiful homes with stunningly beautiful views of mountains, sea and sky, well worth protecting to the homeowners and, I hope, to the City. fl;;:::ITS, Bill Dunn cc.

during the base flood. Base Flood Elevations are shown on FIRMs and on the flood  profiles. The Base Flood Elevation is the regulatory requirement for the elevation or  floodproofing of structures. The relationship between the Base Flood Elevation and  a structure's elevation determines the flood insurance premium.  Borough: The basic unit of local government in Alaska, analogous to counties in other states.  Building: Any structure used or intended for supporting or sheltering any use or occupancy.

other structures for the purpose of protecting the health, safety, and general  welfare of the public.  Community: Any state, area or political subdivision thereof, or any Indian tribe or tribal  entity that has the authority to adopt and enforce statutes for areas within its  jurisdiction.  Critical Facility: Facilities critical to the health and welfare of the population and that  are especially important during and after a hazard event. Critical facilities include,  but are not limited to, shelters, hospitals, and fire stations.  Dam: A structure built across a waterway to impound water.  Development: Any manmade change to improved or unimproved real estate including, but

Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA 2000) (public Law 106‐390):   This act was signed into law on  October 10, 2000. This legislation reinforces the importance of mitigation planning  and emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur.  Earthquake: A sudden motion or trembling that is caused by a release of strain  accumulated within or along the edge of the earth’s tectonic plates.  Elevation: The raising of a structure to place it above flood waters, generally above the  base flood elevation, on an extended support structure.  Emergency Operations Plan: A document that: describes how people and property will  be protected in disaster and disaster threat situations; details who is responsible  for carrying out specific actions; identifies the personnel, equipment, facilities,  Page 184 supplies, and other resources available for use in the disaster; and outlines how  all actions will be coordinated.  Erosion: The wearing away of the land surface by running water, wind, ice, or other  geological agents.  Federal Disaster Declaration: See Presidential Disaster Declaration.  Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA): A federal agency created in 1979 to  provide a single point of accountability for all federal activities related to hazard  mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.  Flash Flood: A flood event occurring with little or no warning where water levels rise at  an extremely fast rate.  Flood: A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry  land areas from (1) the overflow of inland or tidal waters, (2) the unusual and rapid  accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source, or (3) mudflows or  the sudden collapse of shoreline land.  Floodplain: A "floodplain" is the lowland adjacent to a river, lake, or ocean. Floodplains are  designated by the frequency of the flood that is large enough to cover them. For  example, the 10‐year floodplain will be covered by the 10‐year flood; the 100‐year  floodplain by the 100‐year flood.  "Flood frequencies:" Frequencies are determined by plotting a graph of the size of all  known floods for an area and determining how often floods of a particular size  occur. The frequency is the chance of a flood occurring during a given timeframe. It  is the percentage of the probability of flooding each year. For example, the 100‐ year flood has a 1% chance, and the 10‐year flood has a 10% chance of occurring in  any given year.  Geographic Information System: A computer software application that relates physical  features of the earth to a database that can be used for mapping and analysis.  Governing Body: The legislative body of a jurisdiction such as a municipal or Borough  assembly or a city council.

Hazard Event: A specific occurrence of a particular type of hazard.  Hazard Identification: The process of identifying hazards that threaten an area.  Hazard Mitigation: Any action taken to reduce or eliminate the long‐term risk to human life  and property from natural hazards (44 CFR Subpart M 206.401).  Hazard Mitigation Grant Program: The program authorized under section 404 of the Stafford  Act, which may provide funding for mitigation measures identified through the  Page 185 evaluation of natural hazards conducted under §322 of the Disaster Mitigation  Act 2000.  Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis: The identification and evaluation of all the hazards that  potentially threaten a jurisdiction and analyzing them in the context of the  jurisdiction to determine the degree of threat that is posed by each.  Hydro Unit: Short for Hydrologic Unit. A drainage area delineated to nest in a multi‐level,  hierarchical drainage system.  Its boundaries are defined by hydrographic and  topographic criteria that delineate an area of land upstream from a specific point on  a river, stream, or similar surface water.  A hydrologic unit can accept surface water  directly from upstream drainage areas, and indirectly from associated surface areas  such as remnant, non‐contributing, and diversions to form a drainage area with  single or multiple outlet points.   Infrastructure: The public services of a community that have a direct impact to the quality  of life. Infrastructure refers to communication technology such as phone lines or  Internet access, vital services such as public water supply and sewer treatment  facilities, and includes an area’s transportation system, regional dams or bridges,  etc.  Inundation: The maximum horizontal distance inland reached by a tsunami.  Landslide: Downward movement of a slope and materials under the force of gravity.  Liquefaction: The phenomenon that occurs when ground shaking cause’s loose soils to lose  strength and act like a thick or viscous fluid. Liquefaction causes two types of ground  failure: lateral spread and loss of bearing strength.  Local Government: Any county, Borough, municipality, city, township, public authority, school  district, intrastate district, council of governments (regardless of whether the council  of governments is incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under State law),  regional or interstate government entity, or agency, or instrumentality of a local  government; any Indian tribe or authorized tribal organization, or Alaska Native  village or organization; and any rural community, unincorporated town or village,  or other public entity, for which an application for assistance is made by a State  or political subdivision of a state.  Magma: Molten rock originating from the Earth’s interior.  Magnitude: A measure of the strength of a hazard event. The magnitude (also referred to as  severity) of a given hazard event is usually determined using technical measures  specific to the hazard.  Mitigate: To cause something to became less harsh or hostile, to make less severe or painful.  Mitigation Plan: A systematic evaluation of the nature and extent of vulnerability to the  effects of natural hazards typically present in the State and includes a description of  actions to minimize future vulnerability to hazards.  Page 186 Municipality: A political subdivision incorporated under the laws of the state that is a home  rule or general law city, a home rule or general law borough, or a unified  municipality.  Natural Disaster: Any natural catastrophe, including any hurricane, tornado, storm, high  water, wind, driven water, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide,  snowstorm, fire, or drought. (44 CFR Subpart M206.401).  New Construction: New construction means structures for which the “start of construction”  on or after the effective date of a floodplain management regulation adopted by a  community and includes any subsequent improvement to such structures.  One Hundred (100)‐Year: The flood elevation that has a one‐percent chance of occurring in  any given year. It is also known as the Base Flood.  Overlay Zone: Overlay zones (overlay districts) create a framework for conservation or  development of special geographical areas. In a special resource overlay district,  overlay provisions typically impose greater restrictions on the development of land,  but only regarding those parcels whose development, as permitted under the  zoning, may threaten the viability of the natural resource. In a development area  overlay district, the provisions may impose restrictions as well, but also may provide  zoning incentives and waivers to encourage certain types and styles of  development. Overlay zone provisions are often complemented by the adoption of  other innovative zoning techniques, such as floating zones, special permits,  incentive zoning, cluster development and special site plan or subdivision  regulations, to name a few.  Period: A length of time. For waves, it is the length of time between two successive peaks or  troughs, which may vary due to interference of waves. Tsunami periods generally  range from 5 to 60 minutes.   Planning: The act or process of making or carrying out plans; the establishment of  goals, policies and procedures for a social or economic unit.  Preparedness: The steps taken to decide what to do if essential services break down,  developing a plan for contingencies, and practicing the plan. Preparedness ensures  that people are ready for a disaster and will respond to it effectively.  Presidential Disaster Declaration: The formal action by the President of the United States to  make a state eligible for major disaster or emergency assistance under the  Robert T. Stafford Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93‐ 288, as  amended.  Probability: A statistical measure of the likelihood that a hazard event will occur.  Recovery: The long‐term activities beyond the initial crisis period and emergency  response phase of disaster operations that focus on returning all systems in the  community to a normal status or to reconstitute these systems to a new, less  vulnerable condition.  Page 187 Response: Those activities and programs designed to address the immediate and short‐ term effects of the onset of an emergency or disaster.  Retrofit: The strengthening of existing structures to mitigate disaster risks.  Risk: The estimated impact that a hazard would have on people, services, facilities, and  structures in a community; the likelihood of a hazard event resulting in an  adverse condition that causes injury or damage. Risk is often expressed in relative  terms such as a high, moderate or low likelihood of sustaining damage above a  particular threshold due to a specific type of hazard event. It can also be  expressed in terms of potential monetary losses associated with the intensity of  the hazard.  Riverine: Relating to, formed by, or resembling rivers (including tributaries), streams,  creeks, brooks, etc.  Riverine Flooding: Flooding related to or caused by a river, stream, or tributary overflowing  its banks due to excessive rainfall, snowmelt or ice.  Runoff: That portion of precipitation that is not intercepted by vegetation, absorbed by land  surface, or evaporated, and thus flows overland into a depression, stream, lake, or  ocean (runoff, called immediate subsurface runoff, also takes place in the upper  layers of soil).  Run‐up: The maximum vertical height of a tsunami in relation to sea level.  Seiche: An oscillating wave (also referred to as a seismic sea wave) in a partially or fully  enclosed body of water. May be initiated by long period seismic waves, wind and  water waves, or a tsunami.  Stafford Act: 1) The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public  Law 93‐288, as amended. 2) The Stafford Act provides an orderly and  continuing means of assistance by the Federal Government to State, local and  tribal governments in carrying out their responsibilities to alleviate the suffering  and damage which result from disaster.  State Disaster Declaration: A disaster emergency shall be declared by executive order  or proclamation of the Governor upon finding that a disaster has occurred or  that the occurrence or the threat of a disaster is imminent. The state of disaster  emergency shall continue until the governor finds that the threat or danger has  passed or that the disaster has been dealt with to the extent that emergency  conditions no longer exist and terminates the state of disaster emergency by  executive order or proclamation. Along with other provisions, this declaration  allows the governor to utilize all available resources of the State as reasonably  necessary, direct and compel the evacuation of all or part of the population from  any stricken or threatened area if necessary, prescribe routes, modes of  transportation and destinations in connection with evacuation and control  ingress and egress to and from disaster area. It is required before a Presidential  Disaster Declaration can be requested.  Page 188 State Hazard Mitigation Officer (SHMO): The SHMO is the representative of state  government who is the primary point of contact with FEMA, other state and  Federal agencies, and local units of government in the planning and implementation  of pre‐ and post‐disaster mitigation activities.  Storm Surge: Rise in the water surface above normal water level on open coast due to the  action of wind stress and atmospheric pressure on the water surface.  Stream: A body of water flowing in a natural surface channel.  Flow may be continuous or only  during wet periods. Streams that flow only during wet periods are termed  “intermittent streams.”  Structure: That which is constructed above or below ground in some definite manner for any  use or purpose.  Subdivision Regulations: Ordinances or regulations governing the subdivision of land with  respect to things such as adequacy and suitability of building sites and utilities and  public facilities.  Tectonic Plate: Torsionally rigid, thin segments of the earth’s lithosphere that may be  assumed to move horizontally and adjoin other plates. It is the friction between  plate boundaries that causes seismic activity.  Topography: The contour of the land surface. The technique of graphically representing  the exact physical features of a place or region on a map.  Tribal Government: A Federally recognized governing body of an Indian or Alaska Native  Tribe, band, nation, pueblo, village or community that the Secretary of the  Interior acknowledges to exist as an Indian tribe under the Federally Recognized  Tribe List Act of 1994, 25 U.S.C. 479a. This does not include Alaska Native  corporations, the ownership of which is vested in private individuals.  Tsunami: A sea wave produced by submarine earth movement or volcanic eruption with  a sudden rise or fall of a section of the earth's crust under or near the ocean. A  seismic disturbance or land slide can displace the water column, creating a rise or  fall in the level of the ocean above. This rise or fall in sea level is the initial  formation of a tsunami wave.  Volcano:  A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot  magma, ash, and gases to escape from below the surface. Volcanoes are generally  found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid‐oceanic ridge, for  example the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent  tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes  caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together.  Vulnerability: Describes how exposed or susceptible to damage an asset it. Vulnerability  depends on an asset’s construction, contents, and the economic value of its  functions.  The vulnerability of one element of the community is often related to  the vulnerability of another. For example, many businesses depend on uninterrupted  electrical power – if an electrical substation is flooded, it will affect not only the  Page 189 substation itself, but a number of businesses as well. Other, indirect effects can  be much more widespread and damaging than direct ones.  Vulnerability Assessment: The extent of injury and damage that may result from hazard event  of a given intensity in a given area. The vulnerability assessment should address  impacts of hazard events on the existing and future built environment.  Watercourse: A natural or artificial channel in which a flow of water occurs either continually  or intermittently.  Watershed: An area that drains to a single point. In a natural basin, this is the area  contributing flow to a given place or stream.  Water Surface Elevation: Water surface elevation means the height, in relation to the  National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929, (or other datum, where specified)  of floods of various magnitudes and frequencies in the floodplains of coastal riverine  areas.  Water Table: The uppermost zone of water saturation in the ground.  Wetlands: Areas that are inundated or saturated frequently and for long enough to support  vegetative or aquatic life requiring saturated or seasonally saturated soil conditions  for growth and reproduction.  Wildfire: An uncontrolled fire that spreads though vegetative fuels, exposing and  possibly consuming structures.  Worst Case Scenario: The term “worst case scenario" is somewhat self‐explanatory. It includes  the potential for a “cascade effect", which was assumed in analyzing the risk from  each hazard. The term "cascade effect" is used to describe the triggering of  several hazard occurrences from an initial event. An earthquake for instance, might  also trigger avalanches, collapsed buildings, transportation and utility disruptions,  and hazardous material releases, each of which might trigger additional events,  all part of the same incident.  Zoning Ordinance: An ordinance under the state or local government’s police powers  that divides an area into districts and, within each district, regulates the use of  land and buildings, height, and bulk of buildings or other structures, and the  density of population.     Page 190                         This page was intentionally left blank.  Page 191   Appendix

Mitigation Plan Review Tool demonstrates how the Local Mitigation Plan meets the regulation in 44 CFR §201.6 and offers States and FEMA Mitigation Planners an opportunity to provide feedback to the community. •The Regulation Checklist provides a summary of FEMA’s evaluation of whether the Plan has addressed all requirements. •The Plan Assessment identifies the plan’s strengths as well as documents areas for future improvement. •The Multi‐jurisdiction Summary Sheet is an optional worksheet that can be used to document how each jurisdiction met the requirements of each Element of the Plan (Planning Process; Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment; Mitigation Strategy; Plan Review, Evaluation, and Implementation; and Plan Adoption). The FEMA Mitigation Planner must reference this Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide when completing the Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool.

The audience for the Plan Assessment is not only the plan developer/local community planner, but also elected officials, local departments and agencies, and others involved in implementing the Local Mitigation Plan. The Plan Assessment must be completed by FEMA. The Assessment is an opportunity for FEMA to provide feedback and information to the community on: 1) suggested improvements to the Plan; 2) specific sections in the Plan where the community has gone above and beyond minimum requirements; 3) recommendations for plan implementation; and 4) ongoing partnership(s) and information on other FEMA programs, specifically RiskMAP and Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs. The Plan Assessment is divided into two sections: 1.Plan Strengths and Opportunities for Improvement 2.Resources for Implementing Your Approved Plan Plan Strengths and Opportunities for Improvement is organized according to the plan Elements listed in the Regulation Checklist. Each Element includes a series of italicized bulleted items that are suggested topics for consideration while evaluating plans, but it is not intended to be a comprehensive list. FEMA Mitigation Planners are not required to answer each bullet item, and should use them as a guide to paraphrase their own written assessment (2‐3 sentences) of each Element. The Plan Assessment must not reiterate the required revisions from the Regulation Checklist or be regulatory in nature, and should be open‐ended and to provide the community with suggestions for improvements or recommended revisions. The recommended revisions are suggestions for improvement and are not required to be made for the Plan to meet Federal regulatory requirements. The italicized text should be deleted once FEMA has added comments regarding strengths of the plan and potential improvements for future plan revisions. It is recommended that the Plan Assessment be a short synopsis of the overall strengths and weaknesses of the Plan (no longer than two pages), rather than a complete recap section by section. Resources for Implementing Your Approved Plan provides a place for FEMA to offer information, data sources and general suggestions on the overall plan implementation and maintenance process. Information on other possible sources of assistance including, but not limited to, existing publications, grant funding or training opportunities, can be provided. States may add state and local resources, if available. Page 200 A‐8 Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool A.Plan Strengths and Opportunities for Improvement This section provides a discussion of the strengths of the plan document and identifies areas where these could be improved beyond minimum requirements. Element A: Planning Process Plan Strengths: •The use of an annual survey at the annual Community Health Fair that occurs each spring is a great way to raise awareness for both community preparedness and as an opportunity to highlight what the City of Kenai has proposed or is implementing to reduce the risk and impacts to the community. •Facilitating the hazard mitigation planning process through the city’s planning department is an excellent way to make strong connections to the community’s land use and development efforts and integrate natural hazard risk reduction into new and existing plans. Opportunities for Improvement: •Consider including any special purpose districts within the City of Kenai, such as Kenai Peninsula Borough school districts, utility districts, etc. on the planning team to identify potential opportunities for collaborative mitigation efforts that support the community. •Consider an annual presentation on mitigation progress to the City Council as part of the continued public engagement process. This is an easy way to keep the city’s legislative body informed on success and challenges in implementing the adopted Mitigation Action Plan. This can also help keep community leaders involved in the process and provide additional support for implementing the plan. Element B: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Plan Strengths: •The plan does an excellent job of incorporating new RiskMAP data and analysis for identification of community assets that may be vulnerable to earthquake hazards. •The inclusion of climate factors within each section to identify where impacts and vulnerability may be increased is a great practice. This can assist in identifying where additional mitigation, both now and in the future, may be needed to address increased risk. Opportunities for Improvement: •The plan includes a general probability for volcanic hazards. More detailed information on recurrence and probabilities for volcano hazards can be provided by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Alaska Volcano Observatory. •The vulnerability assessment can provide more ‘so what’. For example, what will it mean to the City of Kenai if key infrastructure, like the water/wastewater treatment plants or the Passenger Terminal of the Kenai Municipal Airport are affected by one or more of the hazards identified? Including problem statements around these impacts can help identify more specific mitigation actions and also factor into prioritization for the overall mitigation strategy. Page 201 Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool A‐9 Element C: Mitigation Strategy Plan Strengths: •The planning team developed an awesome mitigation strategy that really implements one of the key facets of mitigation planning…emphasizing reducing risks to new and existing buildings. Through the actions identified within the mitigation strategy, such as using zoning to reduce impacts of erosion and enforcing building codes for wind hazards, this is an excellent way to improve life safety, reduce risk to structures throughout the city, and increase Kenai’s overall resilience. •Inclusion of an action to develop a wildland fire hazard map and already having obtained the funding will help support implementation of the additional actions that were captured in the plan. Once these areas are identified, this may also assist the City’s planning team look at other options to reduce risks, such as how the city’s zoning code or building ordinances may facilitate the ability to use ignition resistant materials in structures located in mapped zones or specific education and outreach to properties within identified hazard areas. Opportunities for Improvement: •While the building code enforcement is listed for wind, consider how this may also be an opportunity further reduce potential impacts and enforce the seismic provisions of the codes as well (if not already in place) since Kenai has identified significant seismic hazards that are documented within the plan. Element D: Plan Update, Evaluation, and Implementation (Plan Updates Only) Not Applicable Page 202 B.Resources for Implementing Your Approved Plan The Region 10 Integrating Natural Hazard Mitigation into Comprehensive Planning is a resource specific to Region 10 states and provides examples of how communities are integrating natural hazard mitigation strategies into comprehensive planning. You can find it in the FEMA Library at http://www.fema.gov/media‐ library/assets/documents/89725. The Integrating Hazard Mitigation Into Local Planning: Case Studies and Tools for Community Officials resource provides practical guidance on how to incorporate risk reduction strategies into existing local plans, policies, codes, and programs that guide community development or redevelopment patterns. It includes recommended steps and tools to assist with local integration efforts, along with ideas for overcoming possible impediments, and presents a series of case studies to demonstrate successful integration in practice. You can find it in the FEMA Library at http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=7130. The Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for Reducing Risk from Natural Hazards resource presents ideas for how to mitigate the impacts of different natural hazards, from drought and sea level rise, to severe winter weather and wildfire. The document also includes ideas for actions that communities can take to reduce risk to multiple hazards, such as incorporating a hazard risk assessment into the local development review process. You can find it in the FEMA Library at http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=6938. The Local Mitigation Planning Handbook provides guidance to local governments on developing or updating hazard mitigation plans to meet and go above the requirements.

A lthough hazard mitigation projects may sometimes be implemented in conjunction with the repair of damages from a declared disaster, the focus of hazard mitigation projects is on strengthening, elevating , relocating, or otherwise improving buildings, infrastructure, or other facilities to enhance their ability to withstand the damaging impacts of future disasters. In so me cases, hazard mitigation projects may also include training or public education programs if such programs can be demonstrated to reduce future expected damages. A Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) provides an estimate of the "b enefits" and "costs" of a proposed hazard mitigation project. The "benefits " considered are avoided future damages and losses that are expected to accrue as a result of the mitigation project. In other words, benefits are the reduction in expected future damages and losses (i.e., the difference in expected future damages before and after the mitigation project). The costs considered are those necessary to implement the specific mitigation project under evaluation. Costs are generally well-determined for specific projects for which engineering design studies have been completed. The timing and severity of benefits , however , must be estimated probabilistically because they depend on the improved performance of the building or facility in future hazard events. All benefit-costs must be: • Credible and well do cumented • Prepared in accordance with accepted BCA practices • Cost-effective (BCR ~ 1.0) General Data Requirements: • All data entries (other t han FEMA) standard or default values) must be documented in the application. • Data must be from a credible source. • Provide complete copies of reports and engineering analyses. • Detailed cost estimate. • Identify the hazard (e.g., flood , wind, seismic). • Discuss how the proposed measure will mitigate against future damages. • Document the project's useful life. • Document the proposed Level of Protection. • The Very Limited Data (VLD) BCA module cannot be used to support cost- effectiveness (screening purposes only). • Alternative BCA software must be approved in writing by FEMA HQ and FEMA Region 10 staff prior to submittal of the application. Damage and Benefit Data • Well documented for each damage event. • Include estimated frequency and method of determination per damage event. • Data used in place of FEMA standard or default values must be documented and justified. • The Level of Protection must be documented and readily apparent. 1 Page 208 Benefit Cost Analysis Process Benefit Cost Analysis Process How to Determine Cost-Effectiveness of Mitigation Projects When Congress enacted the Stafford Act's mitigation provisions, one of the criteria to determine priorities for mitigation funding was cost effectiveness. This cost effective provision was in response t o the recognition that there would never be enough funding to completely mitigate against every hazard . To determine the cost effectiveness of proposed mitigation projects, FEMA implemented a benefit cost analysis (BCA) requirement to mitigation grant funding applications. The basic requirement of the BCA is that the benefit of the mitigation project must equal or exceed the cost , a benefit cost ratio (BCR) of 1: 1 or greater. Over several years, FEMA developed a set standard values for use in BCA and custom software that estab lishes mitigation benefits and calculates the BCR. Benefit cost analysis submitted to FEMA to justify mitigation funding requires substantial documentation of project costs and benefits. FEMA provides the custom BCA software and training online at htt ps://www.fema.gov/benefit-cost -ana lysis . An overview of the BCA process for a mitigation projects follows . $5,000 ~---.---­ $4,000 $3,000 __ _, $2,000 +----I $1,000 +----I Benefit: Damages prevented or reduced due to Mitigation Project $0 -+----L__,...--~---,,----L.---- Damages Before Mitigation Damages After Mit ig ation Benefit Project Cost (Prevented or reduced damages) FEMA Basic Benefit-Cost Model. For more information about FEMA 's Benefit-Cost Modules, please contact the FEMA Region X Mitigation Division at 42 5-487-4600. It is important to understand that benefit-cost analysis is basically the same for each type of hazard mitigation project. The only differences are the types of data that are used in the calculations, depending on whether the project is for floods, earthquakes, or other natural hazards . For example, whereas the depth of flooding is used to estimate damage for flood mitigation projects, the severity of ground shaking is used to estimate damage for earthquake mitigation projects. Calculating the Benefit -Cost Ratio In the graph above , cost-effectiveness is determined by comparing the project cost of $1 ,000, to the value of damages prevented after the mitigation measure, which is $2,000. Because the dollar value of benefits exceeds the costs of funding the project , the project is cost-effective. This relationship is depicted numerically by dividing the benefits by the costs , resulting in a benefit- cost ratio (BCR). The BCR is simply a way of stating whether benefits exceed project costs , and 1 Page 209 Benefit Cost Analysis Process by how much. To derive the BCR, divide the benefits by the cost ($2,000 + $1,000); if the result is 1. 0 or greater, then the project is cost -effective. In this instance , the BCR is 2. 0 , which far exceeds the 1.0 level. On the other hand, if the cost of the project is $2,000 and the benefits are only $1,000, the project wo uld have a BCR of 0.50 ($1,000-:-$2,000) and would not be cost- effective. Conducting a benefit-cost analysis determines one of two things: either the project is cost- effective (BCR > 1.0), or it is not (BCR < 1.0). If the project is cost-effective, then no further work or analysis needs to be done , there is no third step other than to move the project to the next phase in the approval process . However , if the project is not cost-effective, then it is generally not eligible for FEMA mitigation grant funding. There are four key e lements to all benefit-cost analyses of hazard mitigation projects: 1. An estimate of damages and losses before mitigation 2. An estimate of damages and losses after mitigation 3. An estimate of the frequency and severity of the hazard causing damages (e.g., floods), and 4. The economic factors of the analysis (e .g ., discount rate and mitigation project 's useful lifetime) These four key elements and their relationships to one another are detailed in the following example. Consider a 1,500 square foot , one-story, single family residence located in the Acorn Park subdivision along Squirrel Creek. A proposed mitigation project will elevate the structure four feet at a cost of $20,000. Whether this project is cost-effective depends on the damages and losses from flooding without the mitigation project, the effectiveness of the mitigation project in reducing tho se damages and lo sses, the frequency that the house is flooded and the depth of the flood water, and the mitigation project's useful lifetime . If the pre-mitigation damages are frequent and/or severe, then the project is more likely to be cost-effective. Even minor damage that occurs frequently can, over the life of a project , exceed the up-front costs of implementing a mitigation meas ure. On the other hand, if the building in the example above only flooded once, then it may not be cost-effective to elevate, unless the damages were significant in relation to the value of the structure and its contents. 2 Page 210 Benefit Cost Fact Sheet • When using the Limited Data (LD) BCA module, users cannot extrapolate data for higher frequency events for unknown lower frequency events. Building Data • Should include FEMA Elevation Certificates for elevation projects or projects using First Floor Elevations (FFEs). • Include data for building type (tax records or photos). • Contents claims that exceed 30 percent of building replacement value (BRV) must be fully documented. • Method for determining BRVs must be documented . BRVs based on tax records must include the multiplier from the County Tax Assessor. • Identify the amount of damage that will result in demolition of the structure (FEMA standard is 50 percent of pre-damage structure value). • Include the site location (e.g., miles inland) for the hurricane module. Use Correct Occupancy Data • Design occupancy for hurricane shelter portion of tornado module. • Average occupancy per hour for the tornado s helt er portion of the tornado module. • Average occupancy for seismic modules. Questions to Be Answered • Has the level of risk been identified? • Are all hazards identified? • Is the BCA fully documented and accompanied by technical support data? • Will residual risk occur after the mitigation project is implemented? Common Shortcomings • Incomplete documentation. • Inconsistencies among data in the application, BCA module runs , and the technical support data. • Lack of technical support data. • Lack of a detailed cost estimate. • Use of discount rate other than FEMA-required amount of 7 percent. • Overriding FEMA default values without providing documentation and justification. • Lack of information on building type, size, number of stories, and value. • Lack of documentation and credibility for FFEs. • Use of incorrect project useful life (not every mitigation measure equals 100 years). 2 Page 211   Appendix E: Plan Maintenance Documents  Page 212                           This page was intentionally left blank.  Page 213 Annual Review Questionnaire !nf ,,., .. ,""•lteh'I 1e 111,,._.,.lr•h'l."ll ~ Im) ••lltfJh'i l:S.,lL"I Are there internal or external organizations and agencies that have been Invaluable to the p lann ing process or to mitigation action Are there procedures (e.g., meeti ng PLANNING PROCESS announcements, plan updates) that can be done more efficiently?

Resolution No. PZ2020-04 would formally adopt the City of Kenai Hazard Mitigation Plan. Included in the packet is the updated draft City of Kenai Hazard Mitigation Plan after considering comments made by City Councilmembers, Planning and Zoning Commissioners, City Administration, and members of the general public. The Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies and screens changes in the cryosphere, earthquakes, floods/erosion, volcanic ashfall, severe weather, and wild/conflagration fires. The mitigation strategy designates erosion as the top priority hazard, followed by wildland fire and earthquakes. Also included in the packet is a copy of Resolution No. PZ2020-02. The Planning and Zoning Commission passed Resolution No. PZ2020-02 at their meeting on January 22, 2020 recommending the Kenai City Council adopt the City of Kenai Hazard Mitigation Plan at their next regularly scheduled meeting. If the Kenai City Council passes Resolution No. PZ2020-04, the State of Alaska would be notified and a request would be made for final approval of the City of Kenai Hazard Mitigation Plan. Once final approval is received, the City would request the Kenai Peninsula Borough add the City of Kenai’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan as an annex to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Hazard Mitigation Plan. The City of Kenai Hazard Mitigation Plan would then next be updated in 2025 (after five years have passed). Thank you for your consideration. Page 227 t/.uiljef.

Andy Josephson of Anchorage for the Alaska State Legislature’s session in 2020, if the substance of HB 198 as enacted is substantially the same as pre-filed HB 198. A series of escalating incidents of harassment and assault in the Central Kenai Peninsula in 2019, which apparently were targeted against an individual based on sexual orientation, led to a town hall meeting on January 4, 2020 on the issue of public safety. This town hall meeting, open to the public, was attended by over 100 Kenai Peninsula residents, including many residents of the City of Kenai, as well as law enforcement officials and elected officials. Many individuals spoke about incidents of harassment and violence that they had experienced based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. At the town hall meeting, protection against hate crime was discussed. A hate crime may be defined as a criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against the victim’s race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity. At present, Alaska Statute 12.55.155(c)(22) provides as an aggravating factor for sentencing for a serious crime that "the defendant knowingly directed the conduct constituting the offense at a victim because of that person's race, sex, color, creed, physical or mental disability, ancestry, or national origin," but does not include sexual orientation or gender identity as an aggravating factor for sentencing of a person convicted of the crime. After the town hall meeting, Rep. Andy Josephson of Anchorage pre-filed HB 198, and cited incidents in 2019 and this town hall meeting as some of the reasons for this bill. HB 198 would amend AS 12.55.155(c)(22) to expand hate crime protections to include “sexual orientation or gender identity” as aggravating factors for sentencing of a person convicted of a crime. A finding of an aggravating factor allows the sentencing court to increase a presumptive sentence for a crime up to the maximum sentence for that crime. Page 232 Page 2 of 2 Resolution No. 2020-05 The City of Kenai is a diverse community, with residents who fall along the full range of sexual orientation and gender identity spectrums. As a matter of public safety, criminal offenses motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against the victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity have no place in our community. Council’s support of Resolution 2020-05 is respectfully requested.

BRIAN GABRIEL SR., MAYOR ATTEST: ___________________________________ Jamie Heinz, CMC, City Clerk Approved by Finance: _________ Page 242 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director DATE: January 22, 2020 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2020-06 – The Investment Allocations Of And Establishing Appropriate Benchmarks To Measure Performance Of The City’s Permanent Funds For Calendar Year 2020 . ____________________________________________________________________________ Pursuant to KMC 7.30.020 the Council shall annually designate by resolution, the authorized investments and allocation plan for the City’s Permanent Funds. Resolution No. 2020-06 establishes the allocation plan and evaluation benchmarks to be used for calendar year 2020. This year’s allocation plan is the same and there is one change in the evaluation benchmarks. Added for evaluating the performance of the portfolios cash component is the Citi Group 90 Day T-bill Index. This benchmark was inadvertently omitted from the 2019 Resolution but has been utilized when benchmarking the portfolios performance. This addition could be considered a house keeping change. The portfolio is projected to return five point nine percent (5.9%) annually for the next ten years. Risk of the portfolio is measured in standard deviation from the expected rate of return. One standard deviation is equal to about sixty-eight percent (68%) of all possible outcomes and two standard deviations is equal to about ninety-five percent (95%) of all possible outcomes.

City Manager Page 348 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director DATE: January 23, 2020 SUBJECT: Quarterly Financial Report Attached is a relatively easily produced quarterly financial report for the General Fund, Personal Use Fishery Fund, Airport Fund, Water/Sewer Fund, and Senior Fund as of December 31, 2019. This report is essentially on a cash basis, so there are accounts that may not look reasonable. In the General Fund for example, sales and property tax revenue only includes payments made to the City by the Borough through November. The fourth calendar quarter 2019 sales tax filings and tax payments are not in at this point and we will not be received for this quarter until the end of January or early February. State and Federal revenues are below budget in all funds because of PERS aid. The State doesn’t actually give us any money. Instead they make an ‘on-behalf’ payment to the pension system. Similarly we have not booked expenditures for the PERS the State is covering, so the Non-Departmental department is way under budget. At year-end we will record revenue and expenditures for these items.

Page 354 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director DATE: January 22, 2020 SUBJECT: December 2019 Quarterly Investment Report City of Kenai Investment Portfolio At December 31, 2019 the City had investments with a market value of $24,265,086. That is up from $22,697,735 at September 30, 2019. The City’s portfolio is yielding 2.02% that is down from 2.24% at September 30, 2019. The Federal Reserve reduced the Federal Funds Rate three times in calendar year 2019. As higher yielding securities mature and are replaced at lower yields, the portfolio’s rate of return will continue to decrease. In addition, these rate cuts, while pushing the portfolio’s yield lower , positively impact the portfolio’s overall value. There is an inverse relationship between bond values and interest rates meaning when interest rates decrease, bond values increase. Fair market value adjustments to the portfolio through December 31, 2019 are a positive $96,950. The relative short duration of the portfolio has limited the positive adjustment. City’s Investment Portfolio US Agency Securities $ 2,510,545 AML Investment Pool 2,961,122 Wells Fargo Money Market 2,118,749 FDIC Insured Certificates of Deposit 15,367,993 Bank Balance 1,306,677 Total $ 24,265,086 Permanent Fund Investments Fourth quarter 2019 saw continued gains in the equity markets. 2019 was an exceptional year in equity markets coupled with cuts to the Federal Funds Rate which propelled the annual return of the portfolio to 17.05%. Returns for the fourth quarter of 2019 were 4.29%. Since inception the portfolio has returned 8.23%. As of December 31, 2019 the portfolio value was $29,709,160, comprised of $26,117,403 (87.91%) Airport Land Sale Permanent Fund, $3,430,972 (11.55%) General Land Sale Permanent Fund monies, and $160,785 (0.54%) Kenai Community Foundation holdings. Page 355 Page 2 of 2 December 31, 2019 Quarterly Investment Report With the Airport Land Sale Permanent Fund’s year ending balance of $26,117,403, the current spending policy is designed to acknowledge the goal of preserving purchasing power (inflation proofing) while allowing for annual transfers to support the Kenai Municipal Airport by adjusting the spending rate based upon the level of principal preservation (3.8% - 4.2%). At 2019 calendar year end, the 5 year-average market value of the portfolio ($24,427,683) was below the inflation adjusted principal ($25,588,906), thus the allowable transfer is limited to the lower bound of the spending rate (3.8%). The 2019 allowable transfer based upon this calculation is $928K. The administration is working with APCM to reevaluate the 5-year average market value requirement of KMC 7.30.020 (a) (4) (i). Despite a 2019 portfolio return of 17.05% and the 2019, year-end market value exceeding the portfolios inflation adjusted principle balance by $528,497, the current requirement to average the year-end market value is limiting the FY2020 distribution to 3.8% or $928,251. Eliminating the 5-year averaging requirement for comparing the year-end market value to the inflation adjusted principle balance would have allowed for distribution at the higher limit of 4.2%. Also by eliminating the 5-year averaging, the distribution rate would be applied to the year end market value and would result in a distribution of $1,096,931 for FY2020, a $168,680 increase and will still achieve the portfolios primary objective to maximize distributions while maintaining the purchasing power, inflation proofing, the portfolio. With the General Land Sale Permanent Fund’s year ending balance of $3,430,972, the current spending policy is designed to allow for annual transfers to the General Fund, while acknowledging the constraint on spending inflation adjusted principal (KMC Section 5-11). To increase the likelihood of annual distributions, spending is limited to 4% annually and excess earnings are reserved to supplement spending when portfolio earnings are less than the 4% limit in any given year. In 2019, portfolio earnings exceeded the 4% spending limit after accounting for inflation, thus the 2019 annual transfer is limited to $137,239 (4% of the Fund’s value) and all other earnings will be credited to the reserve. After accounting for the allowable transfer, the earnings reserve at calendar year end was $379K. The FY2020 budgeted transfer amount was $124,252 requiring a supplemental appropriation to maximize this year’s distribution. An Ordinance providing for the supplemental appropriation will be provided for introduction at the February 19th Council meeting. A reserve balance of $379K is equal to approximately 2.75 years of future distributions based upon the 2019 calendar year end market value. A decline in the Fund’s market value of approximately 11% would eliminate the existing reserve. The strategy was designed to increase the reserve over time to increase distribution stability given market volatility.

The vast majority of th a t is a budget shortfall due to unrea li zed r evenues from the motor fuel tax . Because we canno t purposely s pend into a deficit, we had to make tough c ho ices. Region-wide, we lost five positions i n South Cent ral. and took add itional reductions to commodities s uch as sa nd, salt and g ua rdrail. Th e d ecis io n to c lo se th e stati o n was s trategic-we had two othe r adjacent statio ns that cou ld cover th e area. We were a lso able to prov ide 18 ho urs of continuo us coverage-only two fewer h ours th an we have intermittently covered the are a in th e pas t. We can also extend working h o urs if n eeded in major storm events . T hi s doesn 't mean that our crews w ill be able to keep up with a heavy. wet s n ow st orm-we 've had challenges doing so in the past-so it is po ssibl e that we w ill see a s hort te rm c lo sure in the pas s for c rews t o m o p up a w inter event. I agree w it h t he s e ntime nt s expressed in th e C ity Coun c il 's resolution, this is not ideal, a nd I , no r depa rtm ent staff, li ke t o s ee a ny ro ll back in services. We a re operatin g ou r maintenance division w ith $22 million Jess than we did s ix years ago. In the la st four years, the department ha s c los e d four other maintenance station s and imposed l imited operating hours on the Richardson. Da lto n and Parks H ighways. One of these c los ure s, th e Birch Lake maintenance s tation along the Ri c hard s on Hi g hway. re s u lted in a pproxi m ately I 10 mi les of separati o n between our Fairbanks maintenance staff and o ur Delta Junction maintenance staff. W e have also so ug ht t o do more with less-by investing in better, more re liable eq u ipment, a nd more efficient c hemica ls t o pre-treat roads fo r anti-icing in st ead of after-the-fact deicing. We have purs ued th ese efficie nc ie s in order to make up for red u ctions of staffing . e quipment and commodities. A nd up until now, we have been s u ccess ful at in s ulating the publi c from fee ling the impacts of budget reducti o ns. W e will continue t o do th e best job we can w ith the resources t hat we a re g iven . I appreciate the serious ness of the s ituati on an d will continu e to direct the depa11ment to be as efficient as possib le.

Kenai City Council Members, Please do not follow the awful lead of the Soldotna City Council who voted 5-1 in support of House Bill 198. Any and all hate crime legislation is a fraud and a sham perpetrated on the public. Do not attempt to create another new fraudulent protected class - in this instance LGBTQ. I contend there should only be one protected class of people (not according to race, religion, ethnicity, sex, etc.) just plain citizen. All crimes on one level or another are hate crimes. Why create another thought crime? If you hit someone over the head with a club does it really matter whether you took into consideration the victim's race, religion, ethnicity, sex, etc.? No, it doesn't. Irrespective of the victim's identity (real or perceived) an act of violence was perpetrated against them and that is enough for prosecution. Don't over think this. Summon your courage and please stop the madness and vote against any and all "hate crime" legislation. Sincerely, Toby Burke Kenai, AK Page 2 of 8 From:Brian G.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. February 4, 2020 Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor and Kenai City Council Members: My friend Tammie Willis was the victim of a hate crime in our community, and we must do all that we can to protect our LGBTQ brothers and sisters. I write to you tonight in full support of the Kenai City Council Resolution 2020-05, which supports the passage of HB 198, legislation currently making its way through the committee process in the AK House of Representatives, which will add sentencing aggravators for those who choose to target victims based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This is not about giving special protections or extra rights to a group of people, but rather providing more equity in the criminal justice system to those who are the victims of crimes simply because they are lesbian, gay, transgender or bi- sexual. Over the decades, we have added sentencing aggravators for race, creed and national origin, to name a few, so now is the time to provide the same to the LGBTQ community. On the national level, crimes against LGBTQ people are on the rise. Of course, the statistics only include known crimes because many will simply not report it out of fear. Tammie was targeted for one reason only; she is gay. The note left on her truck was laced with homophobic language and threats of harm. The large rock thrown at her truck that damaged her windshield had the word “dyke” written on it, which is the same word used in the letter. Lastly, she was viscously assaulted in her own home by a man with a knife, and he would have killed her had the power not gone out in her neighborhood. This all happened over a very Page 4 of 8 brief time period. She has moved out of her home and is currently residing at the KPC Residence Hall where she works. Tammie does not feel safe and I don’t blame her. We cannot stop violence in this country, state or community, but we can certainly try to deter it. One way we can do that is by adding language to increase sentencing for those who wish to commit violence against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity. I welcome the day when we no longer have to do this; when all people will be valued, accepted and treated the same. Until that day, we must do what we can to protect groups of people who are vulnerable. I ask you to support this resolution in support of HB 198. Respectfully, Michele Vasquez Soldotna, AK -- Michele Vasquez Page 5 of 8 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored by: Mayor Brian Gabriel CITY OF KENAI RESOLUTION NO. 2020-07 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING SOUND FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND DIVERSIFIED HARVEST OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COOK INLET. WHEREAS; the City of Kenai has benefited from healthy well-managed salmon runs as a central part of its economy and quality of life for its citizens and visitors for over one hundred years; and, WHEREAS, all user groups in the City of Kenai: sport; personal use; subsistence; and commercial benefit from healthy, sustainable salmon runs to the Kenai River; and, WHEREAS, sport fishing is a significant part of the City’s local economy and contributes to a high quality of life for many residents and visitors; and, WHEREAS, personal use salmon fisheries are important to many City residents and visitors for the harvest of salmon for their families; and, WHEREAS, subsistence salmon fishing is of critical importance to rural residents and native groups in our area, not only for the harvest of salmon but for the cultural significance of the fishery; and, WHEREAS, the Cook Inlet commercial salmon industry is a key component of the City’s local economy because it provides jobs, is a reliable tax base on both real and personal property, and puts salmon on the plates of Alaskans that can’t or choose not to fish for salmon themselves; and, WHEREAS, adoption of regulations that are based on anything other than sound, research based biology, will result in long-term and perhaps irreversible damage to our local economy, its residents, and to the resource itself; and, WHEREAS, a well-managed fishery, based on sound, research based biology is intended to achieve the maximum sustained yield; and, WHEREAS, a fishery that is managed for the maximum sustained yield consistently provides the highest possible number of returning salmon and the greatest opportunity for all user groups, maximizing the benefit of the fisheries resource to the people of the State, a Constitutional obligation of the State of Alaska NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA: Section 1. That the Kenai City Council Supports sound fisheries management practices in Cook Inlet specifically with respect to the Kenai River salmon runs; and. Section 2. That the Kenai City Council Respectfully requests the State of Alaska Board of Fisheries to recognize the historical and economic significance of the salmon runs that return to Page 6 of 8 Resolution No. 2020-07 Page 2 of 2 _____________________________________________________________________________________ the Kenai River by avoiding adoption of regulations that are not based on sound, research based biology. Section 3. That this resolution takes effect immediately upon passage. Section 4. That upon passage, a copy of this resolution shall be forwarded to Governor Mike Dunleavy, Alaska Department of Fish & Game Commissioner Doug Vincent-Lang, Alaska Board of Fisheries members (individually), Senator Peter Micciche, Senator Gary Stevens, Representative Gary Knopp, Representative Ben Carpenter and Representative Sarah Vance. PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 5 day of February, 2020. __________________________________ BRIAN GABRIEL, SR., MAYOR ATTEST: ______________________________________ Jamie Heinz, CMC, City Clerk Page 7 of 8 MEMORANDUM TO: Kenai City Council FROM: Mayor Brian Gabriel DATE: February 5, 2020 SUBJECT: Resolution 2020-07 – Supporting Sound Fisheries Management Practices ____________________________________________________________________________ The Alaska Board of Fisheries is convening February 7-19, 2020 in Anchorage for the Upper Cook Inlet Finfish meeting. The continued health of our salmon fisheries, both in the Kenai River and in all of Upper Cook Inlet are dependent on the decisions made at this meeting. The Constitution of the State of Alaska obligates the State to maximize the benefit of fisheries resources to the people of the State. This requires that fisheries are managed to maximize salmon production; something the Alaska Department of Fish and game is tasked with under 5 AAC 39.222. The only way they can achieve the maximum sustained yield for any fishery is if regulations are based on good science. The Alaska Board of Fisheries – the entity with the authority to adopt regulations - should base their decisions on recommendations of Department biologists with the training and proven experience in managing Upper Cook Inlet salmon stocks. Your consideration is appreciated.

Global Central Banks Easing More than 70% of global central banks eased in 2019 and are expected to stay accommodative in 2020. Some central banks (ex: U.S.,EU, Japan) also continue to provide liquidity and/or QE. 2. Modest Fiscal Policy Support 3. Inflation Expectations are Grounded 4. Diminished Trade Tensions 5. Consumers Healthy Fiscal spending from 2019 can still provide a modest 2020 tailwind. Additionally, key economies (ex: U.S., U.K.) are expected to increase government spending in 2020. Consumer based inflation expectations are low, around the same level as 2016. Market derived inflation expectations are lower and remain below the Fed’s 2% target. Progress on U.S.-China trade relations and some clarity around BREXIT have lessened risks to global trade. Further escalation from the U.S. is less likely going into the presidential election in November. High savings rates, low inflation expectations, low interest rates, and an anticipated pick up in manufacturing all buoy consumer health. Wages are growing, but not at an unsustainable pace. Supportive Financial Conditions & Trend-Like Economic Growth Corporate Health Low interest rates, high margins, and trend-like GDP growth push debt level concerns out to the future. Risk Key risks have subsided, not vanished. The supportive backdrop should leave volatility spikes modest and temporary. Valuations Elevated valuations can remain steady so long as liquidity is plentiful, rates are low, and recession is avoided. Corporate Earnings Financial conditions and the expected pick up in global trade support expectations for an earnings reacceleration. Neutral Equity to Bond Mix, Up In Quality Earnings, rates, and steady valuations lead to single digit returns 2020 OUTLOOK T R U S T E D A D V I S O R S ▪M O R E E X P E R T S ▪B E T T E R A C C E S S7 Portfolio Positioning We maintain a neutral stance between stocks and bonds. We remain up in quality in U.S. large caps and International Developed equities on a tactical basis, which we believe still offers protection against the unexpected. While yields are low, and some central banks continue to ease, bonds retain their attractiveness as risk control assets should financial conditions change. Asset Class Expectations Equities –Equities are likely to outperform bonds but expect single digit returns driven by earnings and dividends. Bonds –Modest returns against a backdrop of lower yields and accommodative central banks.

Modest returns relative to history APCM updates the Firm’s long term expected risk and return assumptions annually to reflect our current expectations for economic and financial market conditions. APCM expects more modest returns relative to history in recognition of long term global growth headwinds and current valuations (appendix slide 17). Distribution is $928K for ALSPF and $137K for GLSPF Last year, APCM and management also designed a set of cohesive spending policies tailored to the objectives and constraints of each Fund. The amounts listed above are in compliance with the guidelines in KMC 7.30.020 regarding appropriations from each Fund (appendix slide 16). Variability in annual returns based upon risk exposure Over a ten year time horizon, the portfolio is expected to experience a range of returns from –12.3% to 24.9%to arrive at a long term average of 5.9% after accounting for volatility.The average loss during turbulent markets is expected to be -20.0% (slide 14). 01 02 03 04 Portfolio Characteristics City of Kenai Permanent Funds T R U S T E D A D V I S O R S ▪M O R E E X P E R T S ▪B E T T E R A C C E S S14 STRATEGIC REVIEW Risk and return data from Windham Portfolio Advisor. *Range denotes the possible return range at the 95% confidence level. 55% Equity / Current APCM’s Forward Looking Assumptions Expected Average Annual Return 6.3% Expected Risk 9.3% Range*-12.3% -24.9% Long-Term Expected Return (integrates risk)5.9% Average Loss in Extreme Market Conditions (1 year within horizon)-20.0% Average Loss in Extreme Market Conditions (1 year end of horizon)-17.2% -26%-21%-16%-10%-5%0%5%11%16%21%26%31%37% Represents 95% of possible outcomes Turbulent Risk quantifies the average loss during extreme market conditions Appendix T R U S T E D A D V I S O R S ▪M O R E E X P E R T S ▪B E T T E R A C C E S S15 Market Review Portfolio Review Strategic Review Appendix Purpose KMC 7.30.010 states that “airport funds be used for the use and benefit of the Kenai Municipal Airport”.

When the 5 year average market value of the fund is below the inflation adjusted principal, the allowable transfer is limited to 3.8% of the 5 year average value. If the average value is above the inflation adjusted principal, the limit for the allowable transfer is raised to 4.2% of the average value. Flexible Rate Based On Principal The current spending policy detailed in KMC 7.30.020 (a) (5) limits the allowable transfer to the lesser of the annual cumulative earnings (calendar year end market value less inflation adjusted principal) or 4% of the fund’s calendar year end market value. As KMC 7.30.005 (e) states, excess earnings can be retained in the fund to act as a “reserve” to supplement annual spending when cumulative earnings are below 4%.

Valuations Valuations are fair (close to 25- year average of 16), which suggests long-term returns will be driven by earnings growth and dividend yields. Debt Levels Aggregate G20 Debt-to-GDP (235%) ratios have risen since the Global Financial Crisis. Productivity Productivity growth expectations recently rose in the U.S. from 1.1%to 1.9%, supporting modest growth expectations. Demographics The working age population in developed markets is expected to drop by 5%through 2030, the largest drop in over 50 years.

Clients should be aware that the potential for loss (or gain)may be greater than that demonstrated in the simulations.Please note that the analysis does not take into consideration all asset classes,and other asset classes not considered may have characteristics similar or superior to those being analyzed. Important Legal Information These calculations are designed to be informational and educational only,and when used alone,do not constitute investment advice.APCM encourages investors to review their investment strategy periodically as financial circumstances do change. Model results are provided as a rough approximation of future financial performance.Actual results could produce different outcomes (either better or worse)than those illustrated by the model,since it is not possible to anticipate every possible combination of financial market returns.APCM is not responsible for the consequences of any decisions or actions taken in reliance upon or as a result of the information provided by the results of the model. Other Influences on Rates of Return Investment management fees:Returns are presented gross of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income.Actual returns will be reduced by investment advisory fees and other expenses that may be incurred in the management of the account.The collection of fees produces a compounding effect on the total rate of return net of management fees. As an example,the effect of investment management fees on the total value of a client’s portfolio assuming (a)quarterly fee assessment,(b)$1,000,000 investment,(c)portfolio return of 8%a year,and (d)1.00%annual investment advisory fee would be $10,416 in the first year,and cumulative effects of $59,816 over five years and $143,430 over ten years.Actual investment advisory fees incurred by clients may vary. Taxes:Unless noted otherwise,model results have not been adjusted for any state or federal taxes or penalties. Inflation:Unless noted otherwise,model results do not adjust any inputs or outcomes for inflation.Inflation is assumed to be constant over the investment horizon. Limitations Inherent in Model Results Limitations include but are not restricted to the following: Model results do not represent actual trading and may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on APCM’s decision making if the actual client money were being managed. Extreme market movements may occur more frequently than represented in the model. Some asset classes have relatively limited histories.While future results for all asset classes in the model may materially differ from those assumed in APCM’s calculations,the future results for asset classes with limited histories may diverge to a greater extent than the future results of asset classes with longer track records. Market crises can cause asset classes to perform similarly over time;reducing the accuracy of the projected portfolio volatility and returns.The model is based on the long-term behavior of the asset classes and therefore is less reliable for short-term periods.This means that the model does not reflect the average periods of "bull"and "bear"markets,which can be longer than those modeled. The model represent APCM’s best view of the next 7-10 years,but is unlikely to reflect actual investment returns worldwide over this period.
