23 JURISDICTIONAL ANNEXES

23.1 VILLAGE OF RED HOOK

This jurisdictional annex to the Dutchess County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) provides information to assist public and private sectors in the Village of Red Hook with reducing losses from future hazard events. This annex is not guidance of what to do when a disaster occurs; its focus is on actions that can be implemented prior to a disaster to reduce or eliminate damage to property and people. The annex presents a general overview of Red Hook, describes who participated in the planning process, assesses Red Hook ’ s risk, vulnerability, and capabilities, and outlines a strategy for achieving a more resilient community.

23.2 HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING TEAM

The Village of Red Hook identified primary and alternate HMP points of contact and developed this plan over the course of several months, with input from many Village departments.

Table A summarizes local officials who participated in the development of the annex. Additional documentation of the Village ’ s planning activities through Planning Partnership meetings is included in Volume I.

23.4 JURISDICTIONAL RISK ASSESSMENT

The hazard profiles in Volume I provide detailed information regarding each planning partner ’ s vulnerability to the identified hazards, including summaries of Red Hook ’ s risk assessment results and data used to determine the hazard ranking. Key local risk assessment information is presented below.

Each jurisdiction has unique assets, vulnerabilities and overall risk. A multi-jurisdictional plan needs to identify every hazard (from the whole planning area). In hazard mitigation planning, risk is the potential for damage or loss when natural hazards interact with people or assets. These assets may be buildings, infrastructure or natural and cultural resources. A risk assessment is a robust, data-driven analysis. It explains what might happen. It also finds where the local jurisdiction is vulnerable to hazards.

Each community must describe how the selected hazards affect its jurisdiction. Some hazards will have similar effects across the area: extreme temperatures, windstorms, winter weather, drought, heavy rain, etc. Some have a smaller location and will vary based on geography. Multi-jurisdictional plans must explain these differences.

Village of Red Hook

Risk is the relationship, or overlap, between hazards and community assets. The smaller the overlap, the lower the risk.

23.4.1 Hazard Area

Hazard area maps provided below illustrate the probable hazard areas impacted within the Village are shown in Figure 1 through Figure 2. These maps are based on the best available data at the time of the preparation of this plan and are adequate for planning purposes. Maps are provided only for hazards that can be identified clearly using mapping techniques and technologies and for which Red Hook has significant exposure. The maps show the location of potential new development, where available.

Please note wildfire risk is assessed using wildland-urban interface and intermix areas. Interface is the area where human development and wildland or vegetative fuels meet. It's a transition zone between wildlands and human communities. Intermix areas are defined as a development or structure that is surrounded on two or more sides by wildlands, meaning buildings and wildland vegetations intermingle.

23.1.4 Hazard Ranking

The participating jurisdictions have differing degrees of vulnerability to the hazards of concern, so each jurisdiction ranked its own degree of risk to each hazard. The community-specific hazard ranking is based on problems and impacts identified by the risk assessment presented in Volume I.

The ranking process involves an assessment of the likelihood of occurrence for each hazard; the potential impacts of the hazard on people, property, and the economy; community capabilities to address the hazard; and changing future climate conditions. Impacts from a particular hazard may have decreased due to an implemented project or relocation of an asset that was previously at risk. Alternatively, risk may have increased because population has increased in a hazard prone area.

23.1.5 Critical Facilities

Critical facilities and infrastructure are services and facilities that are essential to a society's basic operations, and their continuous operation is necessary for the health, welfare and economic viability of communities. These include water treatment, energy, transportation, hospitals and health care systems, police and fire services and stations, schools, and shelters. The continued operations of critical facilities and infrastructure during and following a disaster are key factors in the severity of impacts and the speed of recovery.

The table below includes an inventory of critical facilities and infrastructure for the Village of Red Hook. It also includes information about each asset ’ s exposure to flood, hazardous materials, and wildfire.

23.1.6 Dams

The table below includes all Dams in the Village of Red Hook. This dam data is sourced from NYSDEC ’ s inventory of dams and lists selected attributes of each dam. The dam classification (high, medium or low) corresponds to dam hazard classifications:

• Class A: Low Hazard - Dam failure may cause relatively minor economic or environmental damage.

• Class B: Intermediate Hazard - Dam failure may cause significant economic or environmental damage, but loss of life is not expected. There are about 570 Intermediate Hazard dams in New York.

• Class C: High Hazard - Dam failure may cause loss of life or other severe consequences. There are about 427 High Hazard dams in New York.

• Class D: No Hazard - Dams which have failed or have been removed and no longer present a risk.

In 2019, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced the High Hazard Potential Dam (HHPD) Rehabilitation Grant Program, which has the potential to enhance New York's Dam Safety Program by providing technical, planning, design, and construction assistance in the form of grants for rehabilitation of eligible High Hazard Potential Dams (Class C dams).

Class C, or High Hazard Potential dams, are attributed to any dam whose failure or mis-operation will cause loss of human life and significant property damage. However, dams with other Classifications may still present real and present risks to people and property.

23.4 JURISDICTIONAL CAPABILITY INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT

Red Hook performed an inventory and analysis of existing capabilities, plans, programs, and policies that enhance its ability to implement mitigation strategies. Volume I describes the components included in the capability assessment and their significance for hazard mitigation planning. The jurisdictional assessment for this annex includes analyses of the following:

• Planning and regulatory capabilities

• Development and permitting capabilities

• Administrative and technical capabilities

• Fiscal capabilities

• Education and outreach capabilities

• Classification under various community mitigation programs

• Adaptive capacity to withstand hazard events

For a community to succeed in reducing long-term risk, hazard mitigation must be integrated into day-to-day local government operations. As part of the hazard mitigation analysis, planning and /policy documents were reviewed and each jurisdiction was surveyed to obtain a better understanding of their progress toward plan integration. Development of an updated mitigation strategy provided an opportunity for Red Hook to identify opportunities for integrating mitigation concepts into ongoing Village procedures.

23.4.1 Planning and Regulatory Capability and Integration

Planning and regulatory capabilities are the plans, policies, codes, and ordinances that prevent and reduce the impacts of hazards.

Ordinances

The HMP Team inventoried its existing ordinances against the full capability list of hazard mitigation-related capabilities and the absence of other kinds of ordinances was not considered a gap in local capabilities. There are also many county-level capabilities that are inclusive of and available to the jurisdiction. The table below summarizes the ordinances currently in place at the local level.

23.4.5 Hazard Capability Assessment

Each jurisdiction has a unique combination of capabilities to adjust to, protect from, and withstand a future hazard event, future conditions, and changing risk. The HMP Team ranked the local government ’ s capability to address risks and impacts of each hazard based on the risk and capability assessments performed above.

• Strong: Capacity exists and effectively manages the impacts of this hazard.

• Moderate: Capacity exists but is not used or needs some improvement.

• Weak: Capacity exists and needs substantial improvement

• None: Capacity does not exist.

• N/A: This hazard is not a risk to my community.

23.5.2 Additional Mitigation Efforts

In addition to the mitigation actions completed above, Red Hook identified the following mitigation efforts completed since the last HMP:

• The Village upsizes culverts as needed.

23.5.3 Identified Issues

The Village of Red Hook has identified the following vulnerabilities within their community for mitigation strategy development:

• The current comprehensive plan does not incorporate hazard mitigation principles and does not have a strategy to streamline the consideration of the following hazards into its future development and growth: Dam failure, drought, earthquake, extreme temperature, flood, HazMat, pandemic, severe storm, severe winter storm, utility failure, wildfire.

• Municipalities within the Village currently lack access to a coordinated and comprehensive outreach program focused on natural hazard risks, mitigation strategies, and preparedness planning. Without targeted engagement, local governments may miss opportunities to strengthen their hazard mitigation capabilities and align with broader regional resilience efforts.

• Elected officials in the Village currently lack access to a structured and comprehensive education program focused on natural hazard risks and mitigation strategies. Without targeted outreach, officials may be unaware of their critical role in supporting preparedness, response, recovery, and promoting flood insurance and other resilience measures.

29

Village of Red Hook

• The Village ’ s privately owned low-income senior housing facility, which includes 94 apartments, serves as a critical resource for displaced and vulnerable residents during emergencies. However, the facility currently lacks a backup power source, putting residents at risk during power outages caused by severe weather or other hazard events.

• Frequent flooding events have resulted in damages to residential properties. These properties have been repetitively flooded as documented by paid NFIP claims. The Village has four repetitive loss properties, but other properties may be impacted by flooding as well.

• There are flood-prone roadways in the Village, including Linden Avenue near the Village and Town line.

• The Village ’ s aquifer, a vital source of drinking water, is at significant risk of contamination due to natural hazards such as flooding, wildfires, and earthquakes. These events can introduce pollutants, debris, and sediment into groundwater recharge zones, compromising water quality and threatening public health and environmental safety.

23.5.4 Proposed Hazard Mitigation Actions for the HMP Update

Red Hook participated in the mitigation strategy workshop and identified hazard mitigation actions to reduce the risks and impacts of hazards the community ranked as high-risk. Hazard risk ranking was specific to each community in the County and was based on quantitative (i.e, analysis of the best available data) and qualitative risk assessment processes (i.e., evaluation of previous occurrences, likelihood of future occurrences and vulnerabilities to people and community services; buildings and critical infrastructure; the natural environment and other local priorities.

Implementation of these actions are dependent upon available funding (grants and local match availability) and local capacity and may be modified or omitted at any time based on the occurrence of new hazard events and changes in local priorities.

Volume I identifies fourteen evaluation criteria for prioritizing the mitigation actions. Below, Table U provides the prioritization criteria score for each proposed mitigation action.
