The Local_Mitigation Strategy (LMS) is a whole community initiative designed to reduce • or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards. The LMS plan is a multi-volume plan that documents the planning process and addresses mitigation measures in relation to the hazard risk and vulnerability assessment of Miami-Dade County. This is a living document that is updated to integrate and reflect current and projected issues as identified and track mitigation measures and actions that have oc- curred, are occurring, are planned for or are desired. This plan is a compendium of efforts - of the whole community, integrating governmental and non-governmental agencies such as non-profit, private sector, educational and faith-based organizations as well as com- munities, families, and individuals. As of 2018 the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) estimates that there is a six dollar savings for every dollar invested into mitigation measures. V This version of the plan is an annual update within the five-year review process that was approved in 2015 with inclusion of-new initiatives including the integration of climate change, sea level rise and additional measures to address flooding and the Community Rating System. This plan was open for public review and comments received were inte- grated and then the plan was submitted to the Florida Division of Emergency Manage- ment (FDEM) and FEMA for,review and approval. After federal approval this plan was adopted by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for adoption in Sep- tember 2015. A review of the changes that have been made to the LMS since its last adoption in 2015 is provided in Part 1 under Section"LMS Revisions Since Last Adoption" and Part 4: Appendix A. • Purpose The purpose of the LMS is to develop a comprehensive approach to effectively reduce the impact of current and future hazards and risk faced by local communities within Miami- Dade County. 1 • The LMS accomplishes this through the following measures: • A planning process that encourages whole community participation and input • Review and incorporation of community plans, local, state and federal regulations and guidance, studies, reports and technical information V • Overview of past and present occurrences and projected future hazard events - • Linkage of mitigation measures and actions to the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) _ :• Identification of measures and actions as LMS Projects that have been accom . plished, are planned for implementation or identified as potential or future initiatives • Identification of potential or actual funding sources Integration.of GIS to provide maps to illustrate hazard and risk•areas, consequence analysis and mitigation measures 1 EMAP 2016 Standard 4.2.1 January 2018 V P1-3 301 LMS The Miami-Dade Local Mitigation Strategy Miami-Dade Part 1: The Strategy • Semi-annual reviews and updates of all strategy components • Regular meetings, informational bulletins, trainings and workshops to engage the mitigation participants • An identified process for monitoring the overall progress of mitigation strategies and documentation of completed initiatives This strategy will continuously evolve to address current and future risk and vulnerability. How to use this Plan The LMS is divided into seven parts: Part 1 —The Strategy— Provides an overview of the LMS and identifies how the program is implemented, the integration and update of plans, identifies authorities and references that guide the program, and sets forth the goals and objectives for specific measures and actions to address the threats and hazards faced by our communities. Part 2—The Projects -Contains the list of projects identified by Working Group members for mitigation measures/actions they have completed, are pursuing or one-day hope to implement, and the methodology for how projectsare initially prioritized. 2 Part 3 — Funding — Identifies potential funding sources for mitigation projects. Part 4— Appendices —This section contains a number of supportive documents includ- ing: Pp Pp • List of Updates made to the plan since the last adoption • List of LMS members including Steering Committee, Working Group and Sub- Committees • Miami-Dade Resolution Adopting the LMS • State Letter approving the LMS • FEMA Letter approving the LMS • Local Charter information for Metropolitan form of Government • Integration Document • THIRA— Demographic • Economic Assessment • Maps • Community Survey Part 5 — Meeting Notes — Contains meeting notes and attendance since the beginning of the program • Part 6—Completed Projects— Contains a description of some of the completed projects 2 EMAP 2016 Standard 4.2.3 January 2018 P1-4 302 LMS The Miami-Dade Local Mitigation Strategy • Miami-Dade Part 1: The Strategy Part 7 Flooding: The NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) and CRS (Commu- nity Rating System) — Contains information specific to flood management plans and identifies activities in support of the CRS program All parts of the LMS are published separately to allow for intermittent updates.

Key events included: • The rollout of new Storm Surge Planning Zones based upon updated Sea Lake Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) data • The 2013 update to the CRS Coordinators Manual • The desire to integrate climate change and sea level rise considerations into the LMS • The Biggert-Waters Act and reforms to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) • The desire to integrate the planning consideration of the Comprehensive • Development Master Plan (CDMP) and Stormwater Management Master Plan into the LMS, since the LMS is the Floodplain Management Plan for the County Actions taken to further incorporate flooding considerations into the LMS and community mitigation included: • Designation of the local CRS User Group as a Sub-Committee of the LMS • Nichole Hefty, the Chief of the Miami-Dade Office of Sustainability was nominated to become a member of the LMS Steering Committee • The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) hosted the L-278 class CRS training to assist our local communities in preparing for the changes • Additional maps were developed to determine flood risk • OEM and Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) partnered to work on an educational component to introduce stakeholders to a new interactive model to help determine potential impacts from Sea Level Rise • Identification of activities that Miami-Dade County Departments conduct that may assist all of our communities with uniform credit • Collaboration with the newly appointed State CRS Coordinator • Integration of Sea Level Rise considerations into the Miami-Dade Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) January 2017 P7-1 308 LMS The Miami-Dade Local Mitigation Strategy Miami-Dade Part 7: Flooding-NFIP and CRS Scope Part 7, as with other portions of the LMS, will identify what CRS activities the sections -align with, as applicable. The CRS/Flood Sub-Committee will be responsible for supporting the development and review of this section of the LMS. This section is meant to be supplementary to and not replace the responsibilities of the community CRS Coordinator.

Parker, Building Official DATE: 9/19/2019 - RE: 2018 Local Mitigation•St,ategy(LMS) RECOMMENDATION: It is ttecommended that the City Commission adopts'the 2018 Miami Dade County Local Mitigation: Strategy (LMS) as per the resolution attached hereto. ' The City of Sunny Isles Beach has been participating in the Miami Dade County's Local 'Mitigation Strategy and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP.)By adopting the 2018 Miami Dade County Local Mitigation Strategy through this "resolution, the City will obtain the • required credit for the National Flood 'Insurance Prograrri''(NFIP) CommunityRatin System (CRS)recertification process. REASONS: . - The Local Mitigation Strategy(LMS)is a government plan designed to reduce or eliminate risk to people and 'property from natural and man- -• made hazards. Mitigation strategies are supported by state government and federal programs. • 'The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funded a • national initiative to help communities develop local mitigation strategies that identify projects to mitigate the effects of natural disasters and to identify sources of funds to address those problems. The City of Sunny Isles Beach Local Mitigation Strategy establishes 292 L. _ _Miami Dade County'smitigationpolicy.overall olio . the LMS serves as a reference tool for.those seeking to understand the vulnerabilities that -- exists within Miami Dade County. . Cy ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: - • The National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating _'System (CRS) is a voluntary incentive program that recognized and . • - • • - • encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. . . On October 1, 2007, The City of Sunny isles Beach was able to join the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) by undertaking a•series of meaningful activities to protect the citizens of Sunny Isles Beach from losses caused by flooding. Based on the program's criteria, our City was able to obtain a classification of 8 which allowed our residents to enjoy a 10% discount in their Flood Insurance Policy. In 2012, the City.:went through a • reclassification visit and improved to a classification of 7 which now, I . . . allows residents to enjoy a 15% discount in their Flood Insurance Policy. i i Every year, the City undergoes a recertification process wham it is. � demonstrated that the City continues to pursue those meaningful activities to protect the citizens from .losses caused by flooding. O Adopting the Miami Dade County 2018 Local Mitigation Strategy is•one . of those meaningful activities required to' remain participants of.the I Community Rating System (CRS.) i A portion of the 2018 Miami Dade County Local Mitigation Strategy is I attached hereto.A complete copy of the plan can be found at the Miami 1 Dade , County .Emergency Management web page at: https://www8.miamidade.gov/global%emergency/projects- that - protect.page . .
