ELEMENT F. ADDITIONAL STATE REQUIREMENTS (OPTIONAL FOR STATE REVIEWERS ONLY; NOT TO BE COMPLETED BY FEMA) F1. Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool F2. ELEMENT F: REQUIRED REVISIONS Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool A-5 SECTION 2: PLAN ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS: The purpose of the Plan Assessment is to offer the local community more comprehensive feedback to the community on the quality and utility of the plan in a narrative format. 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 Risk MAP 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. 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. Opportunities - Consider adding public or non -governmental representatives to the planning team. This will help make sure there is a varied perspective reflected in the plan. Additionally, it will help with plan implementation. Element B: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Strengths - Inclusion of climate change considerations for each hazard profile. - There was a great use of maps and data to display the locations of hazards and the risk they pose to the project area. Opportunities - Consider utilizing the vulnerability assessment sections of each hazard profile to discuss some of the specific community assets that are at risk to each hazard. - Table 33 provides the rating of each dam in the county, but the rating system is not explained until Page 94. Consider reorganizing to make it easy for readers to interpret the table. Element C: Mitigation Strategy Strengths - The prioritization of each action was very clear, and the process for developing actions was clear and comprehensive. - There were mitigation actions specifically to address those jurisdictions with SFHAs but do not participate in the NFIP. Opportunities - Consider including more details related to the funding mechanisms. For example, "local" doesn't provide much information. - Many actions have a "TBD" timeframe, it should be more clear that these actions are anticipated to be completed in the 5-year planning cycle. Element D: Plan Update, Evaluation, and Implementation (Plan Updates onl Strengths - Provided the tools that will be used to help implement the plan, including regional cooperation and capital investments. This helps make sure that the plan is implemented effectively. Opportunities - Consider including the website link where the plan will be housed online.

-Introduction 1.1 Introduction Hazard mitigation is defined as any sustained action to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property from hazard events. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has made reducing hazards one of its primary goals, and a primary mechanism in achieving this goal is both the hazard mitigation planning process and the subsequent implementation of resulting projects, measures, and policies (FEMA, 2015). From 198o to 2020, damages due to natural disasters in the U.S. exceeded $1.875 trillion. 2017 was the costliest year on record with $306 billion in damage, and while the costliest disasters may occur in coastal states, in 2020, wildfires, hailstorms, drought, and tornadoes caused a record amount of billion -dollar disasters across the nation (Smith, 2020). Hazard mitigation planning is an effective process to prepare communities and lessen the impact of loss of life and property from future disasters. Although mitigation efforts will not eliminate all disasters, government at all levels should strive to be as prepared as possible for a disaster for the wellbeing of its citizens. The Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) is a requirement of the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The development of a local government plan is required to maintain eligibility for federal hazard mitigation grant funding programs. For communities to be eligible for future mitigation funds, they must adopt an MHMP. Researchers at the National Institute of Building Sciences looked at the results of 23 years of federally funded mitigation grants provided by FEMA, the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Their findings revealed that for every $1 spent on hazard mitigation funding in the nation, $6 is saved in future disaster costs (Multi - Hazard Mitigation Council, 2019). McLeod County is vulnerable to a variety of natural hazards that threaten the loss of life and property in the county. Hazards such as tornadoes, flooding, wildfires, blizzards, straight-line winds, and droughts have the potential for inflicting vast economic loss and personal hardship. This MHMP represents the efforts of McLeod County and its local governments to fulfill the responsibility of hazard mitigation planning. The intent of the plan is to limit the damages and losses caused by specific hazards. 1.1.1 SCOPE U-Spatial, University of Minnesota, was contracted by MN Homeland Security and Emergency Management using FEMA Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant funds to work with McLeod Page 1 1 County Emergency Management to facilitate an update to the 2015 McLeod County MHMP. U-Spatial brings extensive geographic data analysis skills and hazard risk assessment expertise to the process. U- Spatial also employed the services of Hundrieser Consulting LLC for county and stakeholder outreach as well as mitigation action development related to this plan. This MHMP evaluates and prioritizes the major natural hazards affecting McLeod County as determined by frequency of event, economic impact, deaths, and injuries. Mitigation recommendations are based on input from state and local agencies, the public, and national best practices. U-Spatial performed the hazard risk assessment for 1-percent annual chance floods (also known as ioo- year floods) using the FEMA Hazus GIS tool. The Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) office, which is a division of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, has determined that Hazus should play a critical role in Minnesota's risk assessments. This is a multi -jurisdictional plan that covers McLeod County, including the cities of Biscay, Brownton, Glencoe, Hutchinson, Lester Prairie, Plato, Silver Lake, Stewart, and Winsted. The McLeod County mitigation activities identified in this plan also incorporate the concerns and needs of townships, school districts, and other participating entities. Members from each of these jurisdictions actively participated in the planning process by assisting with public outreach, attending planning team meetings, providing local information, identifying mitigation actions, and reviewing the plan document (see Appendix Q. The information in these forms was used to help identify mitigation actions for local implementation (see also Section 2.2). Each jurisdiction will adopt the plan by resolution after the plan is approved by FEMA. County and local city resolutions will be added by McLeod County after final approval by FEMA (see Appendix D). McLeod County has specified the following goals for this MHMP update: • Include more recent data documenting the critical infrastructure and hazards faced by McLeod County. • Reformat and reorganize the plan to reflect definitions of hazards as expressed in the 2019 State of Minnesota Multi -Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Plan. • Reflect current hazard mitigation priorities in McLeod County. 1.1.2 HAZARD MITIGATION DEFINITION Hazard mitigation may be defined as any action taken to eliminate or reduce the long-term risk to human life and property from natural hazards. The benefits of hazard mitigation planning include the following: • saving lives, protecting the health of the public, and reducing injuries • preventing or reducing property damage • reducing economic losses • minimizing social dislocation and stress • reducing agricultural losses • maintaining critical facilities in functioning order Page 1 2 • protecting infrastructure from damage • protecting mental health • reducing legal liability of government and public officials 1.2 State Administration of Mitigation Grants FEMA currently has three mitigation grant programs that are administered by the State of Minnesota: the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, and the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program. The HMGP, BRIC, and FMA programs are administered through the state of Minnesota Department of Public Safety HSEM Division. All applicants must have or be covered under an approved Hazard Mitigation Plan. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, certain private non-profit organizations or institutions, and tribal communities. Page 1 3 Section 2 -Public Planning Process 2.1 Planning Team Information The McLeod County MHMP planning team is headed by the McLeod County Emergency Manager, who is the primary point of contact. Members of the McLeod County MHMP planning team include representatives from the public and governmental sectors.

This feedback was used to develop local mitigation actions that they would seek to implement upon plan adoption (see Section 6.3 and Appendix J). 2.2 Review of Existing Plans, Capabilities & Vulnerabilities McLeod County and its local communities utilized a variety of planning documents to direct community development. These documents included a Comprehensive/Master Plan, Emergency Operations Plan, Transportation Plan, etc. (see Appendix D for a full listing of plans and programs in place in McLeod County). The planning process also incorporated the existing natural hazard mitigation elements from previous planning efforts. In addition, the 2019 Minnesota All -Hazard Mitigation Plan was consulted. In the development of the McLeod County MHMP, U-Spatial consultants reviewed and incorporated a variety of planning documents that direct community development and influence land use decisions for the county and its jurisdictions. In addition, U-Spatial consultants worked closely with the McLeod County Emergency Management Director and other key county staff and local city officials to collect feedback on local mitigation capabilities and vulnerabilities that either support or hinder the ability to mitigate against natural hazards at the county and local level. Following is a summary of the assessment tools used to gather information on local capabilities and vulnerabilities during the planning process: Capabilities Assessment (hazard -specific): In this assessment, detailed information was collected from McLeod County on current plans and programs in place (i.e., existing programs, plans, or policies) as well as program gaps or deficiencies that currently exist to mitigate against damages caused by each natural hazard addressed in the plan. Section 5 identifies current gaps and deficiencies for mitigation and Section 6.1.3 describes the mitigation capabilities that are in place by McLeod County to support mitigation. Page 1 5 Local Mitigation Surveys: As part of McLeod County's 2021 MHMP Update, participating jurisdictions and key county personnel were asked to fill out a Local Mitigation Survey (LMS) form. Questions in the LMS form addressed the following: • Part A: Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Vulnerability Analysis • Part B: Local Mitigation Capabilities Assessment • Part C: Local Mitigation Projects • Part D: Survey Participants. The purpose of the survey was to gather jurisdictionally specific information needed to support the update of the plan and to help inform development of local -level mitigation actions for the next five-year planning cycle (for the full McLeod County LMS report, see Appendix C). 2.3 Planning Process Timeline and Steps In order to update the 2015 McLeod County MHMP, U-Spatial consultants worked in coordination with the McLeod County Emergency Management and members of the planning team. The updated plan includes new data documenting the types of hazards faced by McLeod County residents and emergency planning officials as well as and new thinking on how to address these hazards. 2.3.1 MCLEOD COUNTY STAKEHOLDER COORDINATION On May 1, 2020, U-Spatial hosted a kickoff meeting online that was attended by the McLeod County Emergency Manager. The webinar included a project overview, U-Spatial's background, the roles and responsibilities of the Emergency Manager, the contents of the MHMP, the planning process, and the projected timeline of the project (see Appendix F for webinar slides). On June 19, 2020, McLeod County issued a news release inviting public feedback and participation for the McLeod County MHMP update (for complete documentation, see Appendix G). A planning team meeting took place on September 16, 2020, via Zoom video conference hosted by U- Spatial. Meeting participants included representatives from McLeod County, city and township governments, neighboring jurisdictions, and other key stakeholders. The planning team was provided with an overview of the purpose, process and timeline for the McLeod County MHMP update as well as the role and responsibilities of planning team members. During the meeting, participants were engaged in discussing the prioritization of natural hazards facing the county and local jurisdictions; providing feedback on plans and programs in place; and identification of mitigation actions that would reduce future risk. Information gathered during this meeting was used to inform the development of mitigation strategies in the updated plan. See Appendix F for a full meeting summary. On August 25, 2021, members of the MHMP planning team convened again via Zoom video conference with U-Spatial presenters to conduct a review and discussion of the updated risk assessment for McLeod County and draft mitigation strategies developed for McLeod County and each city participating in the plan. See Appendix F for a full meeting summary. Page 1 6 Table 2. McLeod County Hazard Mitigation update meetings and public outreach Event Date See Appendix Kickoff Webinar 5/1/20 Appendix F, Planning Team Meetings News Release #1 6/19/2o Appendix G, Public Outreach & Engagement Documentation Planning Team Meeting #1 9/16/20 Appendix F, Planning Team Meetings Planning Team Meeting #2 8/25/21 Appendix F, Planning Team Meetings News Release #2 11/1/21 Appendix G, Public Outreach & Engagement Documentation In order to provide opportunity for public input, McLeod County issued a second news release on November 1, 2021, inviting public review and feedback on the draft plan. The news release provided information on where to view the plan and submit comments. U-Spatial hosted a webpage to post the full draft of the McLeod County MHMP, including excerpts of the McLeod County Master Mitigation Action Chart, each jurisdictional mitigation action chart, and an electronic feedback form. Table 2 documents Hazard Mitigation update meetings and public outreach. Appendix G provides documentation of the public outreach for feedback on the draft plan by McLeod County and jurisdictions. The public feedback period for the draft plan was open from 11/1/21 to 11/14/21, for a total of 14 days. At the close of the public outreach period, the U-Spatial consultants worked with the McLeod County Emergency Manager and members of the planning team to incorporate comments from the public into the Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan. For more information on the planning process, see Sections 6 and 7. 2.3.2 OVERVIEW OF JURISDICTIONAL PARTICIPATION Throughout the planning process, McLeod County and the U-Spatial team worked to engage representatives from the county and each city in the update of the plan. Key activities for jurisdictions included assisting with public outreach, participating in planning team meetings, providing local -level information, reviewing and providing feedback to the plan update. U-Spatial and McLeod County actively used the following methods to engage jurisdictions in the MHMP plan update process: • Zoom Video Conferencing: Planning team meetings were conducted via Zoom video conferencing hosted by U-Spatial. The use of virtual meetings was used to engage stakeholders remotely during Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. Virtual meetings proved to be a beneficial addition to the planning process, resulting in a high turnout from jurisdictional representatives and other stakeholders, as well as providing the ability for presenters to collect, respond to, and document feedback from participants through Zoom functions such as surveys, chat, and Q&A. • Email Correspondence: Email was a primary tool used to communicate with representatives from McLeod County, municipal governments, and other stakeholders. Emails were used to Page 1 7 distribute news releases for public outreach, to invite participation in meetings and to share meeting summaries, as well as to request local -information and final review of the draft plan. Email proved to be an effective tool that resulted in increased jurisdictional participation and collection of locally specific information. Email was also used by the public to submit feedback to McLeod County following news releases on the MHMP. • Phone Calls: Phone calls were frequently used to conduct direct outreach or follow-up to jurisdictions to ensure participation or to collect information via one-on-one interviews. Phone calls proved to be an effective tool that resulted in increased jurisdictional participation and collection of quality information. Phone calls were especially useful in engaging very small communities that had limited staff or technological capabilities. Cities participating in McLeod County MHMP update varied by population and associated government resources to participate in the planning process (i.e., personnel, time, and technology). Rural communities with smaller populations (under Soo) typically had part-time elected officials, limited to no city staff, and reduced City Hall hours in which to conduct business. McLeod County and U-Spatial were sensitive to these local challenges and worked to help these local governments to participate using the methods that worked best to accommodate them, such as phone interviews to complete local mitigation survey forms (see Appendix Q. Table 3 provides an overview of the participation of each city that took part in the McLeod County MHMP update planning process, with reference to the location of supporting documentation. Table 3.

The County shares borders with Meeker and Wright Counties to the north, Carver County to the east, Sibley County to the south, and Renville County to the west. The land area of the county is comprised of approximately 503 square miles and there are over 57 lakes and three major watersheds. McLeod County is primarily agricultural. There are nine cities and 14 townships in McLeod County. The City of Glencoe is the county seat and contained a population of 5,631 in 201o. The largest city in the county, the City of Hutchinson, had a 2010 population of 14,178. In 2019, McLeod County had an estimated total population of 35,893• 3.2 Environmental and Geologic Characteristics Prior to European settlement, McLeod County was predominately covered with upland prairie and prairie wetland vegetation; however, large stands of hardwood trees were commonly found throughout the northeastern portion of the County. The upland prairie occupied a wide variety of landforms, including beach ridges and swales, glacial lakebeds, morainic bills, steep bluffs, and rolling till plains. The county's topography can be attributed to its location within the Prairie Pothole Region. The Prairie Pothole Region covers some 300,000 square miles in central North America. This region gets its name from its once extensive grassland landscape that was dotted with millions of depressional wetlands called potholes, formed from retreating glaciers. Prior to European settlement, the Prairie Pothole Region was a paradise for waterfowl, prairie chickens, bison, wolves, and other prairie wildlife. These wetlands are most well known for their importance in waterfowl production; it is estimated that more than half the waterfowl in North America come from the Prairie Pothole Region. Fertile prairie soil made the country attractive for agricultural development. Agriculture changed the landscape by breaking up the prairie sod and draining potholes, which resulted in the loss of many of the natural prairie habitats. Generally, elevations within McLeod County range from approximately 1,000 to 1,1oo feet above sea level. The highest point is found in Section 4 of Acoma Township, at an elevation of 1,145 feet above sea level. The lowest point in the county is found in Section 12 of Bergen Township, at an elevation of 947 feet above sea level. The climate of the county varies drastically by season. During the winter months, cold, dry polar air dominates the region, while hot, dry air masses from the desert southwest, along with warm, moist maritime tropical air masses that originate over the Gulf of Mexico, are common during the summer months. Page 1 9 3.3 Hydrography McLeod County lies within the Upper Mississippi River basin and the Minnesota basin. There are three major watersheds in McLeod County, including the Crow River South Fork, the Crow River North Fork, and the Mississippi River —Shakopee watersheds. The Crow River South Fork watershed is the largest, spanning over 425.8 square miles within McLeod County. McLeod County contains a number of Protected Waters (formerly Public Waters), which are lakes, wetlands, and watercourses regulated by the Minnesota DNR. The inventory of the protected waters in the county includes 57 lakes, 28 watercourses (rivers and streams), and 30 wetlands (MN DNR, 2019a) The basic hydrography of McLeod County is mapped in Figure 1 3.3.1 GROUNDWATER Groundwater serves a variety of vital functions in McLeod County. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has published a County Geologic Atlas of Carlton's Hydrogeology that provides information on the sources and uses of groundwater in McLeod County. Most of the reported groundwater use in McLeod County is for municipal water supply, which makes up 53% of the groundwater use, and agricultural processing, which makes up 44% of groundwater use. Unlike many other counties in Minnesota, irrigation uses a very small percentage of water (2.1%) due to heavy clay soils (MPCA, 2015). The two principal aquifer types in the County are glacial drift and bedrock. Glacial drift aquifers include surficial sand and buried sand and gravel. McLeod County has limited surficial sands and uses primarily buried sand and gravel aquifers. According to the MN DNR, 88.4% of the county's groundwater comes from buried sand and gravel aquifers while 10.3% of the groundwater use is from bedrock aquifers (1.3% is undefined). Sedimentary bedrock aquifers are available throughout the eastern half of the county however most wells are drilled into the buried sand and gravel aquifers because they provide a less expensive water supply (MPCA, 2015). With such an abundance of groundwater available, it is important to examine how sensitive this natural resource is to pollution. Groundwater sensitivity to pollution is measured by flow rate and soil permeability. Figure 2 maps pollution sensitivity of near -surface materials based on the time it takes water to travel through three feet of soil and seven feet of surficial geology, to a depth of io feet from the land surface (Adams, 2016). The total travel time is then categorized into five sensitivity classes, ranging from high (<=17o hours) to ultra -low (>8,000 hours). Areas with special geologic conditions, such as: karsts, peatlands, bedrock at or near the surface, and disturbed lands (e.g., open pit mines) require individual consideration. Of these special condition areas, only karst areas have been assigned a sensitivity ranking ("very high") due to karst areas consistently showing very fast water infiltration rates. The remaining special condition areas are classified together as they cannot be assigned a sensitivity ranking using the same methodology (MN DNR, 2020c). Page I io 1.

The largest of these lakes is Cedar Lake, which partially exists within Meeker County. Of Cedar Take's total i,86o acres, approximately 1,186 acres are located within McLeod County. Open water covers 2.9% of the county. The MPCA classifies the following lakes as "impaired": Bear Lake, Belle Lake, Cedar Lake, Hook Lake, Marion Lake, Silver Lake, South Lake, Stahl's Lake, and Winsted Lake. (MPCA, 2020).

Impaired waters do not meet the State's water qualitystandards, and they affect growth and health of communities and economies. The Clean Water Act has a mandate requiring every state to address impairments (US EPA, 201 5) While not as extensive as "impaired" waters, lakes that are infested with an aquatic invasive species are also of concern (MN DNR, 202od). The MN DNR documents two lakes in McLeod County as infested with the invasive aquatic species Eurasian watermilfoil. Page 1 12 3.3.3 RIVERS One major river flows through McLeod County: the Crow River South Fork. The Crow River South Fork flows for 116 miles until it joins the Crow River North Fork to form the Crow River, which is a tributary of the Mississippi River. The Crow River South Fork drains a watershed of 1,270 square miles and is classified as a state water (MN DNR, 202od). The MPCA has classified Crow River South Fork as "impaired." 3.3.4 WETLANDS The term "wetland" as defined by the Minnesota Legislature are "...areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions" (Wetland Standards and Mitigation, 2016). Important benefits of wetlands include storage area for excess water during flooding; filtering of sediments and harmful nutrients before they enter lakes, rivers, and streams; and fish and wildlife habitat. McLeod County contains many wetlands mostly in the western half of the county. These wetlands total 35,235 acres and cover 11% of the county (MN DNR, 2019c). These wetlands are mostly seasonally flooded basin (16,996 acres), shallow open water (8,982 acres), and shallow marsh (6,319 acres). The variety of wetland types are presented in the hydrography map in Figure 1. Although not as prevalent as in lakes and rivers, the MPCA has identified a number of impaired wetlands throughout Minnesota; fortunately, none of these wetlands are located in McLeod County. 3.4 Climate According to the K6ppen climate classification system, McLeod County's climate is classified as "Ma" — a humid continental climate region with large seasonal temperature contrasts with precipitation distributed throughout the year (no dry season) and at least four months of the year averaging above 50' F but the warmest month averaging below 71.6 F° and at least one month averaging above 71.6 F° (Arnfield, 2020). Since 1895, climate in the United States has been analyzed using the Climate Divisional Dataset. The boundaries of climate divisions have evolved significantly over the years: beginning in 19o9 with 12 climatological districts that followed the principal drainage basins, to the current 344 climate divisions based largely on the USDA Bureau of Agricultural Economics Crop Reporting Districts (Guttman & Quayle, 1996). Climate division temperature, precipitation, and drought values are derived from the values reported by the weather stations in each climate division. In 2014, new methodologies to compute the climate division data were implemented, improving the data coverage and quality of the dataset (NOAA, 2020). Table 4 displays monthly Climate Normals (three -decade averages) of temperatures as reported by the climate division in which McLeod County is located. Page 1 13 Table 4.

These events cost our state millions in property loss, damaged infrastructure, disrupted business, medical care, and support services, and put residents and responders at risk. Understanding how our weather is changing now and into the future will help planners and decision -makers in emergency management and supporting fields extend our progress in climate adaptation and lead to more resilient communities (MDH, 2018). The National Climate Assessment suggests that infrastructure planning (particularly water resources infrastructure) should "be improved by incorporating climate change as a factor in new design standards and asset management and rehabilitation of critical and aging facilities, emphasizing flexibility, redundancy, and resiliency" (Georgakakos, et al., 2014). Federal, state, and tribal governments are increasingly integrating climate change adaptation into existing decision -making, planning, or infrastructure -improvement processes (Georgakakos, et al., 2014). Definite predictions are difficult to make, as changes may vary depending on geographical location, even within Minnesota. Intense study of these topics is ongoing. Rural communities are particularly vulnerable to climate change, due to their dependence upon natural resources, physical isolation, limited economic diversity, higher poverty rates and aging populations. According to Climate Change Impacts in the United States: The Third National Climate Assessment, Warming trends, climate volatility, extreme weather events, and environmental change are already affecting the economies and cultures of rural areas. Many rural communities face considerable risk to their infrastructure, livelihoods, and quality of life from observed and projected climate shifts. These changes will progressively increase volatility in food commodity markets, shift the ranges of plant and animal species, and, depending on the region, increase water scarcity, exacerbate flooding Page 1 14 and coastal erosion, and increase the intensity and frequency of wildfires across the rural landscape (Hales et al., 2014). The Assessment also notes that transportation systems in rural areas are more vulnerable to risks such as flooding since there are typically fewer transportation options and infrastructure redundancies. In addition, power and communication outages due to severe weather events typically take longer to repair in rural areas, which can increase the vulnerability of elderly populations. Rural area populations are also more vulnerable since they typically have limited financial resources to deal with the effects of climate change. The composition of the region's forests is expected to change as increasing temperatures shift tree habitats northward. While forests in the Midwest are currently acting as a net absorber of carbon, this could change in the future due to projected increases in insect outbreaks, forest fires, and drought, which will result in greater tree mortality and carbon emissions (Pryor et al., 2009). 3.4.2 CLIMATE DATA TRENDS Over 50 years of storm data on record document that Minnesota has experienced an increase in the number and strength of weather -related natural disasters, particularly those related to rising temperatures and heavy downpours. According to the 2015 Minnesota Weather Almanac, During the three most recent decades, the Minnesota climate has shown some very significant trends, all of which have had many observable impacts... Among the detectable measured quantity changes are: (1) warmer temperatures, especially daily minimum temperatures, more weighted to winter than any other season; (2) increased frequency of high dew points, especially notable in mid- to late summer as they push the Heat Index values beyond ioo°F; and (3) greater annual precipitation, with a profound increase in the contribution from intense thunderstorms (Seeley M. , 2015). Temperature and precipitation projections below are taken from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Region 5 profile. Appendix H provides the full MDH profile for Region 5, which includes McLeod County. This report is one of a series of custom climate profile reports produced for each of the six HSEM regions in the state for reference to climate change projection data, impacts, and considerations for emergency management and preparedness professionals in this HSEM region. The information in this report was used to help inform the updated risk assessments in Section 4 of this plan for natural hazards and their relationship to climate change. Temperature The 2018 MDH report details how average temperatures have been affected by climate change: There has been an increase in winter and summer temperatures. Our average winter lows are rising rapidly, and our coldest days of winter are now warmer than we have ever recorded. In fact, Minnesota Page 1 15 Table 5. Temperature trends_for HSEM Region 5 Average Summer Maximum Temperature Average Winter Minimum Temperature 1981-2010 2050-2075 Change 1981-2010 2050-2075 Change 82.1 OF 89.6 OF +7.5 OF 7.9 OF 16.9 OF +9.0 OF SOURCE: (MDH, 2oi8) winters are warming nearly 13 times faster than our summers. The continued rise in winter temperatures will result in less snowpack, which will increase chances for grassland/wildfires as well as drought. The warmer winter temperatures will also have major consequences for our ecosystems, including native and invasive species, whose growth, migration, and reproduction are tied to climate cues. The increase in Lyme disease across Minnesota is also likely influenced in part by the loss of our historical winters, due to a longer life -cycle period for ticks. Freeze -thaw cycles are likely to increase as well, damaging roads, power lines, and causing hazardous travel conditions. By mid-century our average summer highs will also see a substantial rise, coupled with an increase in more severe, prolonged heat waves that can contribute to drought and wildfires and pose a serious health threat, particularly to children and seniors. (MDH, 2018) Expected changes in average temperatures are detailed in Table 5 Increasing temperatures impact Minnesota's agricultural industry. As a result of increasing temperature, crop production areas may shift to new regions of the state where the temperature range for growth and yield of those crops is optimal. According to the National Climate Assessment, the Midwest growing season has lengthened by almost two weeks since 195o due in large part to earlier timing of the last spring freeze. This trend is expected to continue. While a longer growing season may increase total crop production, other climate changes, such as increased crop losses and soil erosion from more frequent and intense storms and increases in pests and invasive species, could outweigh this benefit. There may be higher livestock losses during periods of extreme heat and humidity. Losses of livestock from extreme heat led to a challenge in the disposal of animal carcasses. Currently there are only two rendering facilities in Minnesota available for livestock disposal. To minimize the detrimental effects of heat stress on animal metabolism and weight gain, Minnesota farmers have also begun redesigning and retrofitting dairy, hog, and poultry barns with better watering, feeding, and ventilation systems (Seeley, 2015). Precipitation Climate change has also affected precipitation, as described in detail in the 2018 MDH report: There has been an increase in total average as well as heavy precipitation events, with longer periods of intervening dry spells. Our historical rainfall patterns have changed substantially, giving rise to larger, more frequent heavy downpours. Minnesota's high -density rain gauge network has captured a nearly four -fold increase in "mega -rain" events just since the year 2000, compared to the previous three decades. Extreme rainfall events increase the probability of disaster -level flooding. However, there is also an increased probability that by mid-century heavy downpours will be separated in time Page 1 16 by longer dry spells, particularly during the late growing season. Over the past century, the Midwest has not experienced a significant change in drought duration. However, the average number of days without precipitation is projected to increase in the future, leading Minnesota climate experts to state with moderate -to -high confidence that drought severity, coverage, and duration are likely to increase in the state. Modeling future precipitation amounts and patterns is less straight -forward compared to temperature. Some climate models do a better job than others representing rainfall for the Midwest, and available data sources only provide average estimates on a monthly scale, masking the spikes in extremes that trigger flood and drought disasters. (MDH, 2018) 3.5 Demographics McLeod County contains nine cities and fourteen townships. In 2010, McLeod County had a population Of 36,651, averaging 75 people per square mile of land area (U.S. Census Bureau, 202ob). The county seat, Glencoe City, had a population of 5,631 in 2010, while the largest city in the county, Hutchinson City, had a 2010 population of 14,178. Table 6 lists the communities in McLeod County along with their respective population numbers. Population growth trends have an important influence on the needs and demands of a variety of services such as transportation, law enforcement, and emergency response. Understanding population trends and location of population concentrations is essential for making projections regarding potential impacts in the event of a disaster. The county's population has seen continuous growth throughout the last century. From 1920 to 2010, the population grew by 79%. The estimated population in July of 2019 was the first decrease in population the county had seen for the last century, shrinking from 2010 to 2019 by 2% (U.S. Census Bureau, 202ob). Population predictions show a slight downward trend, and the Minnesota State Demographic Center projects a 3% decline in McLeod County's population through 2050 (Minnesota State Demographic Center, 2020). Figure 3 provides an overview of the county's historic population change, and Figure 4 shows the projected population change. Table 6.

The median household income in McLeod County increased by 4.7% from 2010 to 2018. The percent of the county's population living below the poverty level in 2018 was 8.9%, compared to a 9.6% average for the state of Minnesota. 3.7 Critical Infrastructure Critical infrastructure systems are among the most important assets of a community. While different infrastructures accomplish different goals, their continued operations are integral to the health, safety, and economic and cultural well-being of the residents of McLeod County. Critical infrastructure is identified based on FEMA guidelines (FEMA, 2013a) as well as input from McLeod County and classified into the following groups: Emergency and Shelter Facilities, Infrastructure Systems, High Potential Loss Structures, and Significant County Assets. For the complete list of critical infrastructure in McLeod County, see Appendix I. 3.7.1 ESSENTIAL FACILITIES Emergency and shelter facilities are vital to the health and welfare of entire populations, providing services and functions essential to communities, especially during and after a disaster. Emergency and shelter facilities include healthcare facilities, emergency services, evacuation centers/shelters, and schools (often used as evacuation centers/shelters). U-Spatial provided McLeod County with an interactive online application to verify the names and locations of all emergency and shelter facilities. The verified locations were mapped, and the resulting spatial data were provided to the county. Figure 6 shows the emergency and shelter facilities in a few representative communities with concentrated facilities. Page 1 20 Figure 6.

Glencoe and Hutchinson each have one hospital and one dialysis center. The other eight healthcare facilities are nursing homes located throughout the county. Emergency Services Law Enforcement: There are five police departments in the county, located in Glencoe, Winsted, Hutchinson, Brownton, and Lester Prairie. Glencoe also contains the county sheriffs office. The one Emergency Operation Center in the county is in Glencoe in the sheriffs office. Fire & Rescue Services: McLeod has eight fire departments. One of these, Brownton, is volunteer. Only the Lester Prairie Fire Department includes EMS services. Silver Lake and Winsted have additional EMS providers. Schools & Evacuation Centers/Shelters There are 26 schools in McLeod. Ten schools are located in Hutchinson. Glencoe, Lester Prairie, Silver Lake, and Winsted also each have a small number of public and private schools. FEMA and the American Red Cross have designated nine facilities within the county as shelters to be used in the event of an issued evacuation. Fourteen shelters have been identified by the county, five of which are in Hutchinson. 3.7.2 INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS Infrastructure systems include the transportation systems and utility systems fundamental to the functioning of communities. These systems allow for emergency facilities to operate and connect to residents; they are the lifelines for communities. Transportation Systems The infrastructure of transportation systems facilitates the movement of individuals, goods, and services. Roadways: The primary roadways passing through the county are U.S. Highway 212, which passes through the southern part of the county. Minnesota State Highways 7, 15, and 22 also cross the county. The county also contains 118 bridges and culverts. The Minnesota Department of Transportation classifies roads into route systems according to the services a road is intended to provide. Table 8 lists the total miles of road for each route system within McLeod. Railways: There is one rail line in McLeod County. The Twin Cities and Western (TC&W) Railroad operates a class two rail line that runs parallel to U.S. Highway 212, through the communities of Brownton, Glencoe, Plato, and Stewart. Page 1 22 Table 8.

The Glencoe Municipal Airport (Vern Perschau Field) offers a 3,300400t paved runway. The Hutchinson Municipal Airport (Butler Field) has a 4,000400t paved runway. Finally, the Winsted Municipal Airport offers a 3,248-foot turf runway. Utility Systems The infrastructure of utility system networks facilitates the process of providing essential utilities to consumers. A map of the major utilities systems in McLeod County is displayed in Figure 7. Water & Sewer McLeod County is home to seven wastewater treatment plants, six of which are active. Energy: Thirteen electrical substations are located within the county along with 40 major electric transmission lines. Residents of Brownton, Hutchinson, Biscay, and Glencoe are served by Great River Energy. Residents of Glencoe, Plato, Lester Prairie, Silver Lake, and Winsted are served by Xcel Energy Eleven natural gas pipelines run throughout the county. One is operated by Alliance Pipeline System, one by Hutchinson Pipeline, and the remainder by Northern Natural Gas. One petroleum product pipeline, operated by Midstream Partners, crosses the northern part of the county. A crude oil pipeline, operated by Koch Pipeline, runs through the eastern half of the county. Additionally, there are 11 power plants and one wind turbine. Communication: Administered in coordination with the Minnesota Statewide Radio Board, the Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response (ARMER) Program manages the implementation of a 70o/800 megahertz (MHz) shared digital trunked radio communication system capable of servicing the radio communication needs of every public safety entity operating in Minnesota (MN DPS, 2021). There are three ARMER towers in McLeod County. Page 1 23 7.

These structures include dams, levees (see Section 3.4.4), and facilities storing hazardous materials. Page 1 24 A hazardous materials facility contains materials that would threaten the public if released. The inventory of these facilities in McLeod County those required to register with the EPA due to the type and quantity of hazardous materials being stored or produced at the facility. Eleven of these facilities have been identified in McLeod County. Due to the sensitive nature of these data, the locations of these facilities have not been mapped in this plan. 3.7.4 SIGNIFICANT COUNTY ASSETS Significant county assets include larger employers which represent a primary economic sector of a community, buildings of government services deemed to be significant, and cultural or historic assets that are important to a community. Employers: While every employer is an important asset to a community, the loss or disruption of certain employers, or the primary economic sector of a community, will have a large negative impact on the respective communities. One employer fitting this profile was identified in McLeod County, a waste management facility. Government Buildings: Some government buildings deemed to be significant due to a critical service operating at the location but not previously mentioned may be considered critical infrastructure. These buildings often include government service centers, the courthouse, jails, and prisons. Cultural Resources: Cultural resources are cultural or historic assets that are unique, irreplaceable, or important to a community. Seven such assets have been identified in the county. These buildings include government buildings, school, and libraries. Four are located in Hutchinson, two in Glencoe, and one in Winsted. 3.8 Land Use and Ownership McLeod County is largely agricultural county. The county is 5o6 square miles, 79% of which is covered by cultivated crops, followed by hay/pasture (4%), and emergent herbaceous wetlands (4%) (USGS, 2016). A map of McLeod County's land cover is displayed in Figure 8. Just over 83% of the land in McLeod County is cropland. The term "cropland" encompasses five components: harvested cropland, crop failure, cultivated summer fallow, cropland used only for pasture, and idle cropland (USDA ERS, 2019). Between 2012 and 2017, the area of total cropland in the county grew by 5%, from 236,951 acres in 2012 to 248,863 acres in 2017 (USDA, 2012, 2017). "Harvested cropland" are the acres of cropland that are planted and successfully harvested. Table 9 shows a breakdown of McLeod County's harvested cropland in 2017. In addition to growing crops, McLeod County is also home to a few hundred feedlots. A 2016 inventory counted 490 active feedlots in the county. Just over 81% of the feedlots raise cattle as the primary stock and 14% raise pigs. An average of 202 animals are on each feedlot (MPCA, 2016). Ownership of the county is divided between six different agencies; the majority being privately owned (96%). Land ownership is displayed in Figure 9. Page 1 25 Ceda Mills 8.

Sound mitigation practices must be based on sound risk assessment. A risk assessment involves quantifying the potential loss resulting from a disaster by assessing the vulnerability of buildings, infrastructure, and people. The risk assessments in this plan are based on widely accepted tools and databases as well as consultation with hazard mitigation planning expertise at FEMA and HSEM as well as technical guidance from the MN DNR State Climatology Office. Geographic Information System (GIS) tools are used throughout to demonstrate geographically based risk and vulnerabilities. This assessment identifies the characteristics of natural hazard events, the severity of the risk, the likelihood of these events occurring, and the vulnerability of each jurisdiction's population and assets. 4.1 Hazard Identification and Prioritization The cornerstone of the risk assessment is identification of the hazards that affect jurisdictions. To facilitate the planning process, several sources were employed to ensure that the natural hazards are identified prior to assessment. Listed below are the natural hazards addressed in the 2019 Minnesota State Hazard Mitigation Plan: Flooding Dam/Levee Failure Wildfires Windstorms Tornadoes Hail Lightning Winter Storms Landslides (Erosion and Mudslides) Land Subsidence (Sinkholes and Karst) 4.1.1 HAZARD PRIORITIZATION Drought Extreme Heat Extreme Cold Earthquakes Coastal Erosion & Flooding As part of the plan update process, the planning team reviewed, updated, and prioritized the hazards faced by residents of McLeod County, updated the existing mitigation actions published in the 2014 Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan, and proposed new mitigation actions. To engage in this process, the planning team drew on a number of data sources. First, the team examined the hazards identified in the 2015 Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan. The natural hazards that pose risk to McLeod County were discussed and adjusted to reflect the definitions of natural hazards used in the 2021 Minnesota State Hazard Mitigation Plan. Page 1 29 Table lo. Prioritization of hazards in this update Natural Hazard Hazard Priority Windstorms High Tornadoes High Flooding High Winter Storms Moderate Hailstorms Moderate Extreme Cold Moderate Extreme Heat Moderate Drought Low to Moderate Lightning Low Landslides Low Dam Failure Low Wildfire Low While the focus of this MHMP is on natural hazards, planning took place with the understanding that many non -natural hazards could occur as a result of natural disasters (e.g., disruption in electrical service due to downed powerlines from heavy snow, ice storms, or high wind events). The prioritization of hazards for the McLeod County MHMP Update (Table 1o) was based upon group review and discussion of the natural hazards that pose risk to the county during the MHMP Planning Team Meeting #1 on September 16, 2020. In the review of each hazard, the group was asked to consider if the risk to severe natural hazards had increased or decreased since the last plan, and if this affected their priority level to mitigate against that hazard. The group agreed that since the last plan, the prioritization of hailstorms had increased from low to moderate, as there had been a noted increase in the frequency of hail events since the last plan. Drought was felt to have decreased but was still a natural hazard to include in the plan. The prioritization of all other natural hazards was unchanged since the last plan. Appendix F provides the discussion notes from the September 16, 2020 meeting. 4.1.2 NATIONAL CENTERS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION (NCEI) STORM EVENTS DATABASE Much of the storm data used in this plan is from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information's (NCEI) Storm Events Database. The NCEI receives storm data from the National Weather Service (NWS), which receives the information from various local, state, and federal sources. The Storm Events Database contains records documenting: • the occurrence of storms and other significant weather phenomena having sufficient intensity to cause loss of life, injuries, significant property damage, and/or disruption to commerce; • rare, unusual weather phenomena that generate media attention, such as snow flurries in South Florida or the San Diego coastal area; and Page 1 30 • other significant meteorological events, such as record maximum or minimum temperatures or precipitation that occur in connection with another event (NCEI, 2021). Records in the Storm Events Database go back as far as January 1950; however, only tornado events were being reported from the beginning. Revisions to the type of storm events reported to the database are ongoing. As of July 16, 2018, 55 different types of storm events were being reported to the Storm Events Database (NCEI, 2021). Storm Events Database hazard categories used in this plan are listed in Table 11 below. For some hazards, other sources are used in the hazard histories to create a more comprehensive record. A summary table of events related to each hazard type is included in the hazard profile sections that follow in Section 5. Please note, frequency statements in hazard profile sections are based on the hazards reported for the entire period of record. In some cases, events may be underreported. The Storm Events Database is updated regularly. NCEI receives data from the NWS approximately 75 days after the end of a data month therefore, during the timeframe of compiling this plan, data more current than what is used in this report will become available (NCEI, 2021). The economic and property loss estimates in the Storm Events Database are often preliminary in nature and may not match the final assessment of losses related to given weather events. Table 11.

Fourteen major disaster and three emergency declarations in McLeod County have been made between 1957 and January 2021, for a total of 17 (Figure lo). These are listed in Table 12. Page 1 31 SOURCE: (FEMA, 2021A) Minnesota Statutes Chapter 12A established a framework for state agencies to help communities recover from disaster. In 2014, Governor Mark Dayton signed legislation establishing the state's Disaster Assistance Contingency Account to assist local communities after a natural disaster when federal aid is not available. Damage required to declare a disaster is half the threshold of the federal/FEMA public assistance (only) program threshold (MN HSEM, 2019). McLeod County was not included in any State Disaster Declarations. Table 12.

Table 13 lists the projects in the county funded by a hazard mitigation assistance program. 4.2 Jurisdictional Change in Risk or Vulnerability Assessment Jurisdictions in McLeod County have varying vulnerabilities to and concerns about impacts to their communities. Interviews with jurisdictional representatives in addition to the Local Mitigation Survey resulted in some specific concerns (see Appendix C: Local Mitigation Surveys). Participants were asked to provide feedback on how their community's vulnerability to natural hazards had either increased (due to changes such as development) or decreased (due to local mitigation efforts) over the past five years. Page 1 33 At the local jurisdictional level, several communities did note an increase in development over the last five years as a factor for an increase in vulnerability to severe weather or disaster events. 4.2.1 JURISDICTIONAL RESPONSES As part of the Local Mitigation Survey form, McLeod County Emergency Management and each city jurisdiction were asked to provide a vulnerability assessment that described what structures, systems, populations, or other community assets were susceptible to damage and loss from specific hazard events. Following are examples of common responses related to noted local vulnerabilities (as preserved in Appendix C: Part A, Question 3) for each jurisdiction. This information was used to help tie local vulnerability back to the exposure of people, buildings, infrastructure, and the environment to the natural hazards listed in Table io and to assist local governments in development of related local mitigation actions to reduce risk. McLeod County Windstorms, Tornadoes: McLeod County has six county parks, including two with overnight camping. There are not adequate storm shelters in any of these parks. Extreme Heat: There are several homes, businesses, and other gathering areas that do not have air conditioning available. This could lead to heat emergencies in a lot of our population should they not have air conditioning or if there is power failure. Extreme Cold: We have seniors and children who are vulnerable to extreme cold, especially if the power goes down during storm events. Ice Storms, Blizzards: We have powerlines and power poles that have failed or may fail due to heavy snow and ice storms. City of Biscay Tornadoes: We do have a few mobile homes where people do not have a basement. We do not have any sort of storm shelter in the city. All Storms: Our lift stations and septic sewer system could go down during a bad storm due to a power outage. City of Brownton Flooding: One of our sanitary sewer lift stations, located at the intersection of Division Street and ist Ave S, is prone to flooding from Lake Addie. City and fire department personnel have sandbagged the area in the past to prevent flooding into the lift station. Also, along ist Ave S are several homes, an electrical substation, and a county highway shop that are prone to flooding from Lake Addie. The northwest quadrant of the city also has seen significant flooding from the Buffalo Creek, and creek water has infiltrated our storm sewer system. Page 1 34 Ice Storms, Blizzards: Much of the city's municipal electrical service consists of overhead power lines and electrical poles. Some of CenturyLink's phone service is also overhead. Those overhead lines and power poles are prone to failure in ice storms and blizzards with heavy snowfall and high winds. Windstorms, Tornadoes: Although the city has no formal trailer park, there are trailer homes scattered throughout the community as well as prefabricated homes built on slabs with no basement for shelter. Nearly all buildings within the community are prone to damage from falling trees and limbs created by tornadoes and windstorms. Structures located at our baseball park are also particularly susceptible to damage as they are in an open area with no shelterbelts. Extreme Cold: We have seniors and children who are vulnerable to extreme cold, especially if the power goes down due to bad weather. While most homes are served with furnaces that use fossil fuels such as fuel oil, natural gas and LP, nearly all furnaces are powered by electricity and susceptible to failure if the electrical power goes out. In addition, many of our senior citizen facilities rely entirely on electrical heat with no back-up power in the event of an outage. City of Glencoe Flooding: Our city sewer lift station is vulnerable to failure during flood events if the power goes down or the lift station is flooded. We also have basements in homes that continue to be flooded. Ice Storms, Blizzards: We have power lines and power poles that have failed or may fail due to heavy snow and ice storms. Windstorms, Tornadoes: We have multiple mobile home parks and a municipal campground without storm shelters where residents are vulnerable to high -wind events. Extreme Cold: We have seniors and children who are vulnerable to extreme cold, especially if the power goes down during storm events. City of Hutchinson Flooding: A portion of the downtown area of the city is protected by an uncertified levy that was constructed in 1965. Any sanitary and wastewater infrastructure that are located in the ioo-year floodplain are susceptible to flooding as well as any structures in the same areas. Windstorms, Tornadoes: One of the 3 mobile home parks in the city is without a designated storm shelter which leaves the residents vulnerable to high wind events. Also, the county fairgrounds are located within the city and hosts several large events throughout the year. There is not a designated storm shelter on site which leaves the public vulnerable. Extreme Cold: Some of the city's infrastructure is susceptible to severe cold. The result is frost heaves to roadways as well as frozen water services. Page 1 35 City of Lester Prairie Flooding: Our city wastewater treatment plant is vulnerable to failure during flood events if the power goes down or the lift station is flooded. We have homes that will fill with sewage if the residents on Hi -Mae Circle and Pine St. N. have water overflow the banks of the creek and flow into the sanitary sewer system. Ice Storms, Blizzards: We have powerlines and power poles that have failed or may fail due to heavy snow and ice storms. We only have one portable generator to use at lift stations and the Emergency Operations Center. Windstorms, Tornadoes: We have one mobile home park (900 end Ave. S.), our major city park, and a new municipal campground (Sunrise Nature Park) without storm shelters where residents are vulnerable to high -wind or tornado events. Extreme Cold: We have a large senior population and a "standalone" school with children that are vulnerable to extreme cold especially if the power goes down during storm events. City of Plato Ice Storms, Blizzards: Extended power failure would impact our sewer lift stations and water tower. Travelers along Highway 212 may get stranded and need shelter. Windstorms: Extended power failure would impact our sewer lift stations and water tower. City of Silver Lake Flooding: If 2+ inches of rain falls quickly, street flooding occurs as storm sewer is undersized. Generators must be brought to lift stations for operation (lag time could increase risk of flooding) Windstorms, Tornados: No backup generator for emergency shelter in case of power outage. We need more outdoor warnings sirens in the city. Windstorms, Lightning: We experience multiple power outages each year due to thunderstorm events. Ice Storm, Blizzards: Aboveground power lines that could be affected from events. Hail: Home/auto damage can occur from hailstorms. Extreme Cold: We have older homes with poor insulation, and it is hard to combat cold weather during loss of power. Extreme Heat: We have older homes without air conditioning and high senior population that would be vulnerable. Page 1 36 City of Stewart Flooding: Our city sewer lift station is vulnerable to failure during flood events. We also have basements in homes that continue to be flooded. Ice Storms, Blizzards: We have powerlines and power poles that have failed or may fail due to heavy snow and ice storms. Extreme Cold: We have seniors and children who are vulnerable to extreme cold, especially if the power goes down during storm events. City of Winsted Windstorms, Tornadoes: We have one mobile home park in the community that does not have a storm shelter for residents to go to if there is a high wind or tornado event. Extreme Cold: We have vulnerable populations (seniors, nursing home, and children) in the community that could be affected if the power goes out. 4.2.2 FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Because McLeod County is vulnerable to a variety of natural hazards, the county government —in partnership with the state government —must make a commitment to prepare for the management of these events McLeod County is committed to ensuring that county elected and appointed officials become informed leaders regarding community hazards so that they are better prepared to set and direct policies for emergency management and county response. As part of the vulnerability assessment conducted for the McLeod County MHMP update, jurisdictions were asked to describe if there were any factors related to population growth, zoning, or development they felt have increased their community's vulnerability to future severe weather or disaster events (see Section 4.1.2). Following is a compilation of common responses as noted in Appendix C: Part A, Question 5• City of Brownton In October 2020, construction began on a new Dollar General store on 5th Ave S (Plum Avenue) near Highway 212. This building may be especially vulnerable to wind and tornado damage as there are currently no windbreaks in the area as it was developed from open farmland. City of Hutchinson Over the course of the last five years there have been multiple multi -family dwellings built throughout the community as well as several assisted living facilities. In high wind and tornado events this increases the city's vulnerability as these structures typically do not have basements in which to seek shelter. We have also experienced increased housing for the elderly which requires assistance in evacuation. Page 1 37 City of Lester Prairie We have added additional homes and have purchased another 68.66 acres for more growth. The Lester Prairie Public School made a substantial expansion (2020-2021) which will affect Otter Creek because a decrease of pervious surface and increase in runoff. We have had steady housing permits issued over the last several years. City of Silver Lake There are homes being added on the east end of town. Assisted living complex also increases number of senior residents in city. City of Winsted In 2020, a large commercial building was constructed in the industrial park. In the development of local mitigation actions, all jurisdictions were encouraged to consider hazard mitigation strategies that would reduce risk in relation to future development, such as the update of local comprehensive plans, enforcement of ordinances, and incorporation of infrastructure improvements to reduce local vulnerabilities (see Appendix J). The McLeod County emergency management director will work to keep the jurisdictions covered by the MHMP engaged and informed during the plan's cycle. By keeping jurisdictional leaders involved in the monitoring, evaluation, and update of the MHMP, they will keep their local governments aware of the hazards that face their communities and how to mitigate those hazards through planning and project implementation. Section 6 of this plan further outlines the process by which McLeod County will address the maintenance of this plan, including monitoring, evaluation, and update of the plan, as well as implementation and continued public involvement. 4.3 Shared Vulnerabilities for all Hazards Vulnerability is the susceptibility to physical injury, harm, damage, or economic loss (FEMA, 2oo6). While a community's vulnerability may vary by hazard, certain population groups and structures are vulnerable to multiple hazard types. This section highlights the population groups and structures which may not be as resilient to natural hazards or deserve special attention. 4.3.1 POPULATION VULNERABILITY The degree to which a person is vulnerable to the impacts of a hazard depends on how well they can react before, during, and after a hazardous event. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry (ATSDR) defines social vulnerability as "...the resilience of communities when confronted by external stresses on human health, stresses such as natural or Page 1 38 human -caused disasters, or disease outbreaks" (ATSDR, 2020). Exacerbating these stressors are the increasing number of extreme weather events attributed to Minnesota's changing climate (MPCA, 2018c). The ATSDR created the CDC Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to help identify vulnerable communities who may need support in preparing for hazardous or recovering from disaster. The CDC SVI is created at the census tract level using American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data. Table 14 displays how the ACS data is organized into 15 social variables, which are further grouped into four themes (ATSDR, 2020). Census tracts within Minnesota were ranked and given a percentile value from o to 1, with higher values indicating greater vulnerability compared to other census tracts in the state. Theme -specific percentile rankings were generated by summing the percentiles of the variables comprising each theme and ordering the summed percentiles. For more information about the SVI methodology, visit https://svi.cdc.gec . A map of each SVI theme for McLeod County is displayed in Figure ii. Table 14.

The total estimated building exposure for the county is shown in Table 15. Table 15. McLeod County Total Building Exposure General Occupancy County Total Buildings County Building and Contents Value Residential 17,689 $2,613,290,702 Commercial 96o $478,386,982 Other 6,497 $1,372,218,7o6 Totals 25,146 $4,463,896,390 SOURCE: MCLEOD COUNTY McLeod County's infrastructure systems are outlined in Section 3.7. Estimates of county infrastructure economic exposure were not available. Because infrastructure protects public health and provides vital services to residents and Minnesota's infrastructure is aging, the State Auditor's office hosts an online infrastructure stress visualization tool to assist with planning and to provide transparency about the condition of water and wastewater infrastructure systems in the state This tool indicates that 20% of the 89 miles of sewer collection system in the county are over 50 years old. 44% of the collection system is less than 30 years old (OSA, 202o) A chart of this age distribution is located in Figure 12. 12.

Undersized sewer systems can experience capacity issues following heavy rain events, resulting in overflows containing stormwater as well as untreated human and industrial waste, toxic substances, debris, and other pollutants. Mobile homes, and therefore the people living in mobile homes, are particularly vulnerable to natural hazards. Evidence show that mobile home parks are disproportionately located in more hazard -prone regions, often undesirable or marginal lands like floodplains, and that mobile homes are particularly vulnerable to high -wind events (Rumbach et al., 2020). While Minnesota law requires most mobile home parks to have storm shelters, many do not (Sepic, 2017). Given the vulnerability of mobile home residents it is important to have a general understanding of where mobile homes are located. Licensed mobile home park locations in McLeod County are identified in Table 16. 4.3.3 ELECTRIC UTILITIES AND OUTAGES Loss of power is often the result of a natural hazard. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (2016), the leading cause of electric outages in Minnesota from 20o8 through 2013 was severe weather/falling trees (see Figure 13), affecting nearly half a million Minnesotans annually. While the power grid is vulnerable to weather -induced power outages, certain communities are more vulnerable to prolonged outages, which are dependent on a few factors, including the type of severe weather event (the grid being the most vulnerable to high wind events); the transmission and distribution infrastructure (overhead infrastructure being the most exposed and therefore susceptible to failure); and the density of the community (a greater number of customers affected by power outage in rural areas than in urban areas) (Mukherjee et al., 2018). Page 1 42 Figure 13. Causes of electric utility -reported outages in Minnesota (2oo8 Animal ■ Faulty Equipment/Human Error ■ Overdemand P1 Planned Theft/Vandalism ■ Unknown Vehicle Accident ■ Weather/Falling Trees 19 1 Number of incidents SOURCE: (US DOE, 2016) -2013) Because of the significance of physical and economic disruption power outages can cause, HSEM prepared a Rural Electric Annex to the MN State All Hazard Mitigation Plan to make rural electric cooperatives eligible for FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Program. Thirty-five percent of Minnesota's population, and 85% of Minnesota's territory, is covered by electrical distribution cooperatives. Flooding, windstorms, tornado, and winter storms are the greatest risks to electric utilities. The damage to rural electric cooperative infrastructure has often been how Minnesota reaches economic damage thresholds for federal disaster declaration (MN HSEM, 2014). Rural electric cooperatives are vulnerable and could very well be becoming more vulnerable without mitigation against future damages. In a survey to Minnesota electric cooperatives, 59% of respondents indicated that flooding has adversely affected or damaged critical infrastructure in their service area. Debris may damage the infrastructure immediately or decrease the life of the utility poles, which may be more easily damage in a subsequent event. Eighty-three percent of respondents indicated that windstorms have a high potential to impact electrical infrastructure, and nearly all (94%) cooperatives surveyed indicated that they have been affected or damaged by a tornado in the past. The most vulnerable electrical structures to wind events are overhead utility lines and the poles (MN HSEM, 2014). Winter storms are another very common risk to electric utilities and pose additional challenges that put crews and equipment in danger. Difficult winter driving conditions put crews on icy or wind -drifted and snowy roads. And in the case of ice storms and extreme cold winter temps, crews are subject to harsh conditions when repairing utility lines. Page 1 43 Power outages can also make vulnerable populations more vulnerable. Outages may force the closure of businesses, schools, and government offices. State and local governments may experience economic challenges related to large-scale power outages when they must open shelter facilities and to care for people displaced from their homes. Public agencies are frequently responsible for debris removal and clean-up in the event of a storm or tornado. Police and fire personnel may be responsible for securing downed power lines if they are dangerous to nearby residents. People recovering from illnesses, the elderly, children, and low-income populations may be more vulnerable to the impacts of power outages than others. Those who are dependent on power for their health care needs become immediately at risk. Homeowners may see food spoiled, move to a temporary shelter, experience flooding inside of their homes, or have their pipes burst all due to the lack of power (MN HSEM, 2014). Page 1 44 Section 5 -Hazard Profiles As part of the risk assessment, each natural hazard that poses risk to the county was independently reviewed for its past hazard history, relationship to future trends, and jurisdictional vulnerability to future events. A capabilities assessment was also conducted by the county to review the plans and programs that are in place or that are lacking (program gaps or deficiencies) for the implementation of mitigation efforts, as related to each natural hazard. An assessment was also conducted for local jurisdictions to identify the plans, policies, programs, staff, and funding they have in place in order to incorporate mitigation into other planning mechanisms (see Section 7.1 and Appendix Q. Hazards that were deemed by McLeod County to be of moderate to high risk are addressed in the following hazard profiles. Hazards that were determined to be of low risk or without substantive mitigation actions to address them are not required to be included (see Section 4.1.1). 5.1 Flooding Flooding is the most significant and costly natural hazard in Minnesota. The type, magnitude, and severity of flooding are functions of the amount and distribution of precipitation over a given area, the rate at which precipitation infiltrates the ground, the geometry and hydrology of the catchment, and flow dynamics and conditions in and along the river channel. Flash floods generally occur in the upper parts of drainage basins and are typically characterized by periods of intense rainfall over a short duration. These floods arise with very little warning and often result in locally intense damage, and sometimes loss of life, due to the high energy of the flowing water. Flood waters can snap trees, topple buildings, and easily move large boulders or other structures. Six inches of rushing water can upend a person; another 18 inches might carry off a car. Generally, flash floods cause damage over relatively localized areas, but they can be quite severe. Flash floods in urban areas involve the overflow of storm drain systems and can be the result of inadequate drainage combined with heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt. Flash floods can occur at any time of the year in Minnesota, but they are most common in the spring and summer. Riverine floods refer to floods on large rivers at locations with large upstream catchments. Riverine floods are typically associated with precipitation events that are of relatively long duration and occur over large areas. Flooding on small tributary streams may be limited, but the contribution of increased runoff may result in a large flood downstream. The lag time between precipitation and the flood peak is much longer for riverine floods than for flash floods, generally providing ample warning for people to move to safe locations and, to some extent, secure some property against damage. During the past several decades, agencies have used the " ioo-year floodplain" as the design standard for projects funded by the federal government. However, today floods of that magnitude are occurring far more often than once per century (Natural Resources Defence Council, 2015). In recognition of increasing Page 1 45 risks, in January of 2015 the U.S. President issued an executive order that updates flood protection standards that guide federally funded projects in or near floodplains or along coastlines. These new standards require federally -funded projects to either build two feet above the too -year flood elevation for standard projects and three feet above for critical buildings like hospitals and evacuation centers; or build to the 500-year flood elevation (The White House, 2015). Please note, the term " 1oo-year floodplain" has largely been discontinued in favor of "i-percent annual chance floodplain." 5.1.1 HISTORY OF FLOODING Minnesota experienced the wettest year on record in 2019, when heavy precipitation between February and May contributed to flooding throughout the state. The county has experienced 8 federal disaster declarations for flooding; four of those occurred since 201o. The county was included in DR-4442 for extensive flooding in April 2019 (FEMA, 2021a). In September 2019, over half the state received at least two times the normal amount of precipitation. The average precipitation for the year statewide was 35.51 inches, with many stations of over 50 years of observations breaking their own precipitation records (MN DNR, 2019d). McLeod County had 40.69 inches of rain in 2019. This total was the most precipitation the county has ever seen. Previously the record was 39.87 in 1991(MN DNR, 202oa). Table 17below lists all McLeod County's historical flood events from 2014-2019 as recorded by the NCEI. Three deaths have been reported as a result of flooding, along with one injury. The cumulative property damage estimate is greater than $57 million dollars (CEMHS, 2019). Table 17. Flood Events in McLeod County, January 2013-February 2020 Date Event Type Description 8/10/2016 Flash Flood Local law enforcement official closed several roads in Hutchinson due to flooding, and some of the roads had up to 9 inches of flowing water. There was also a city pool that was under construction that received damage to the point that it would have to be torn out and new construction started. The concrete was inundated with water that caused the cement to come apart from the plumbing and silt washed under the concrete floor. There were also a few rural gravel roads that were washed out that had some damages. 6/23/2013 Flash Flood Significant street flooding occurred in the town of Winsted as rainfall amounts were in excess of 1 to 2 inches in a short period of time. Some homes reported basement flooding. 6/23/2013 Flash Flood Overnight rainfall, with high rainfall rates, caused significant street flooding in Glencoe, with flood waters encroaching on homes and businesses during the early morning hours. During the height of the storm, 12 inches of flowing water was reported on area streets in Glencoe. Page 1 46 Date Event Type Description 6/21/2013 Flash Flood Two rounds of severe thunderstorms occurred across portions of southern and central Minnesota, between Friday afternoon, June 21st and early Saturday morning, June 22nd. Flood waters were flowing over roads, north of Winsted. SOURCE: (NCEI, 2021) Table 18.

There is one active USGS gauging stations located in the county according to the National Water Information System. Table 18 shows data on its highest -recorded annual peaks (gauge heights). Three discontinued gauge stations on Buffalo Creek and Otter Creek are not included. If the two highest peaks for the last five years are not in the top five peaks on record, they are included with their overall risk indicated in parentheses (USGS, 2021b). 5.1.2 PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE A potential risk and economic loss analysis for a 1-percent annual chance flood was performed using a FEMA tool, Hazus for ArcGIS. A DFIRM flood boundary was available for the entire county. Flood depth grids were developed for a small portion of the county using cross section data and base flood elevation information. The majority of the county depth grids were developed using Hazus EQL analysis. The resulting Hazus 1% annual chance floodplain output is shown in in Figure 14. Page 1 47 SOURCE: (MN DNR, 2021A) 5.1.3 CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONS As Minnesota's climate changes, the quantity and character of precipitation is changing. Average precipitation has increased in the Midwest since igoo, with more increases in recent years. According to the Minnesota DNR State Climatology Office "Since 2000, Minnesota has seen a significant uptick in devastating, large -area extreme rainstorms as well. Rains that historically would have been in the 98th percentile annually (the largest 2%) have become more common. Climate projections indicate these big rains will continue increasing into the future." Page 1 48 The Midwest has seen a 45% increase in very heavy precipitation (defined as the heaviest 1% of all daily events) from 1958 to 2011 (National Climate Assessment Development Advisory Committee, 2013). This precipitation change has led to amplified magnitudes of flooding. Increased precipitation may also show seasonal changes, trending toward wetter springs and drier summers and falls. An example of a recent year with this character was 2012, when many MN counties were eligible for federal disaster assistance for drought, while others were eligible for flooding, and 7 were eligible for both in the same year (Seeley, 2015). In 2007,24 Minnesota counties received drought designation, while 7 counties were declared flood disasters. In 2012, 55 Minnesota counties received federal drought designation at the same time 11 counties declared flood emergencies. In addition, the yearly frequency of the largest storms —those with 3 inches or more of rainfall in a single day —has more than doubled in just over 50 years. In the past decade, such dramatic rains have increased by more than 7% (MN EQB, 2014). Southeastern Minnesota has experienced three l000-year floods in the past decade: in September 2004, August 2007, and September 2010 (Meador, 2013). The 2004 flood occurred when parts of south-central Minnesota received over 8 inches of precipitation. Faribault and Freeborn counties received over 10 inches in 36 hours. The deluge led to numerous reports of stream flooding, urban flooding, mudslides, and road closures (MN DNR, 2004). During the 2007 event, 15.10 inches fell in 24 hours in Houston County, the largest 24-hour rainfall total ever recorded by an official National Weather Service reporting location. The previous Minnesota record was 1o.84 inches in 1972. The resulting flooding from the 2007 rainfall caused 7 fatalities (MN DNR, 2007). In September 201o, a storm on the 22-23rd resulted in more than 6 inches of rain falling over 5,000 square miles in southern Minnesota. Rainfall totals of more than 8 inches were reported in portions of 10 counties. The heavy rain, falling on soils already sodden from a wet summer, led to numerous reports of major rural and urban flooding. For many monitoring locations in southern Minnesota, stream discharge resulting from the deluge was the highest ever seen during an autumn flood (Minnesota Climatology Working Group, 2010). Three of the seven wettest years in McLeod County all occurred in the last two decades (MN DNR, 202oa). 5.1.4 VULNERABILITY Potential economic loss estimates were based on county -specific building data. McLeod County provided parcel tax and spatial databases that included building valuations, occupancy class, square footage, year built, and number of stories. The quality of the inventory is the limiting factor to a Hazus flood model loss estimation. Best practices were used to use local data and assumptions were made to populate missing (but required) values. Hazus reports the percent damage of each building in the floodplain, defined by the centroid of each building footprint. After formatting the tax and spatial data, 25,146 points were input to Hazus to represent buildings with a total estimated building plus contents value of $4.5 billion. Approximately 70% of the buildings (and 59% of the building value) are associated with residential housing. The estimated loss by occupancy class for the entire county is shown in Table 19 Page 1 49 Table 19. Summary of 1-percent annual chance flood loss estimation by occupancy class County General County Building Floodplain Floodplain Buildings Building + Total Occupancy and Contents Total Building + with Contents Loss Buildings Value Buildings Contents Value damage Residential 17,689 $2,613,290,702 49 $8,058,300 32 $1,504,227 Commercial 960 $478,386,982 Other 6,497 $1,372,218,706 Totals 25,146 $4,463,896,390 SOURCE: (FEMA, 2021c) 6 $1,622,000 68 $50,828,650 123 $60,508,950 6 $528,170 52 $17,864,292 90 $19,896,689 The distinction between building attributes within a parcel was not known, so the maximum percent damage to a building in that parcel was used to calculate loss estimates for the entire parcel. The sum of all the losses in each census block were aggregated for the purposes of visualizing the loss. An overview of these results with the percent damage of buildings is shown in Figure 15. Please note: It is possible for a building location to report no loss even if it is in the flood boundary. For example, if the water depth is minimal relative to ist-floor height, there may be o% damage. Hazus Critical Infrastructure Loss Analysis Critical facilities and infrastructure are vital to the public and their incapacitation or destruction would have a significant negative impact on the community. These facilities and infrastructure were identified in Section 3.7 and verified by McLeod County. Buildings identified as essential facilities for the Hazus flood analysis include hospitals, police and fire stations, and schools (often used as shelters). Loss of essential facilities are vulnerable to structural failure, extensive water damage, and loss of facility functionality during a flood, thereby negatively impacting the communities relying on these facilities' services. Extreme precipitation resulting in flooding may overwhelm water infrastructure, disrupt transportation and cause other damage. Particularly where stormwater, sewage and water treatment infrastructure is aging or undersized for more intense rainstorms, extreme rain events may pose both health and ecological risks in addition to costly damage (USGCRP, 2018). It is important to identify if any critical infrastructure within the 1-percent annual chance floodplain, given the higher risk of the facility or infrastructure being incapacitated or destroyed during a flood. In McLeod County, two critical infrastructure locations were found to be at risk in the 1-percent annual chance flood. No other information is available about these facilities.

The following gaps and deficiencies should be addressed with new mitigation efforts to reduce that vulnerability: National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP): The cities of Biscay and Stewart do not participate in the NFIP. Surface Water Run-off Management: Controlling runoff from various sources continues to be a challenge and priority to control what runs downstream. Increasing Culverts and Raising Roads: Some roads, bridges, and culverts within McLeod County continue to need improvements as they are impacted by annual high rain events. The county needs funding assistance to improve roads and culverts that experience repetitive flooding. Road Infrastructure: Continued culvert replacement to prevent road flooding is a strain on our smaller townships that have limited funding for road infrastructure. Shoreline Stabilization: Continued efforts are needed to stabilize vulnerable shoreline that is eroding due to heavy rain events and wave action. 5.2 Windstorms A windstorm is a wind strong enough to cause damage to trees and buildings and typically exceeding 34 mph (Pielke, 2012). Windstorm events encompass a variety of types of damaging wind, including: • straight-line wind: a thunderstorm wind not associated with rotation, • downdraft: a small-scale column of air that rapidly sinks toward the ground, • downburst: a strong downdraft with an outrush of damaging winds at or near the earth's surface, • microburst and microburst: outward bursts of strong winds at or near the earth's surface, differentiated by the diameter of the burst, • gustnado: a small whirlwind originating from the ground and not connected to any cloud -based rotation), and • derecho: a widespread, long-lived windstorm associated with a band of rapidly moving showers or thunderstorms (NSSL, 2020). Tornadoes are categorized as separate hazards from windstorms. The National Weather Service (2018) classifies windstorm events using the following criteria. • Strong wind events are non -convective winds gusting less than 50 knots (58 mph), or sustained winds less than 35 knots (40 mph), resulting in a fatality, injury, or damage. Page 1 54 • High wind events are sustained non -convective winds of 35 knots (40 mph) or greater lasting for one hour or longer or gusts of 5o knots (58 mph) or greater for any duration. • Thunderstorm wind events are winds arising from convection (occurring within 30 minutes of lightning being observed or detected), with speeds of at least 50 knots (58 mph), or lower wind speeds producing a fatality, injury, or damage. Downbursts and gustnadoes are classified as thunderstorm windstorm events. When wind speeds are not able to be measured, they are estimated. Part of the process to determine wind speed is observing the damage. Table 21 lists the expected effects of increasing wind speeds. Table 21. Effects of wind speed Wind Speed Effects 26-38 knots Trees are in motion. Lightweight loose objects (e.g., lawn furniture) may be tossed or (30-44 mph) toppled. Large trees bend; twigs, small limbs, and a few larger dead or weak branches may break. 39-49 knots Old/weak structures may sustain minor damage. Buildings under construction may (45-57 mph) be damaged. A few loose shingles may be removed from houses. Carports may be uplifted and minor cosmetic damage may occur to mobile homes. Large limbs break; shallow rooted trees may be pushed over. Semi -trucks may be 50-64 knots overturned. Significant damage to old/weak structures may occur. Shingles and (58-74 mph) awnings may be removed from houses, damage may occur to chimneys and antennas, mobile homes and carports may incur minor structural damage, and large billboard signs may be toppled. Trees experience widespread damage, including breaking and uprooting. Mobile homes 65-77 knots may incur significant structural damage, including being pushed off foundations or (75-89 mph) overturned. Roofs may be partially peeled off industrial/commercial/warehouse buildings. Some minor roof damage may occur to homes. Weak structures (e.g., farm buildings, airplane hangars) may be severely damaged. Many large trees may be broken and uprooted. Mobile homes may be severely damaged; 78+ knots moderate roof damage to homes may occur, roofs may be partially peeled off homes (go+ mph) and buildings. Moving automobiles maybe pushed off dry roads. Barns and sheds may be demolished. SOURCE: (NWS, 2o18) 5.2.1 HISTORY McLeod County experienced 11 high wind, two strong wind, and 215 thunderstorm wind events between 1955 and August 2021, with wind speeds up to 8o knots (92 mph) (NCEI, 2021). The majority of these windstorms occurred June (33%) and July (19%). Wind damage to property and crops have cost the county more than $4 million since 196o (CEMHS, 2019). Table 22 lists the wind -related events that have occurred in the county since 2015. Thunderstorm wind events in McLeod County from 1955-202o are mapped in Figure 17. Page 1 55 Table 22. Wind events McLeod County, January 2015 August 2021 Date Event type Description 8/14/2020 Thunderstorm Thunderstorms developed along a warm front across central Minnesota, wind with additional development southward in the warm sector by the late afternoon, and early evening. In addition to the tornadoes, there were other reports of downburst wind damage throughout central and southern Minnesota. 6/18/2020 Thunderstorm Modest instability and ample wind shear of 30 to 4o knots produced a line wind of thunderstorms across Minnesota. 9/2/2019 Thunderstorm A line of strong to severe thunderstorms moved across the area. Some parts wind of the line had bow echo segments and produced a couple of tornadoes. There were also numerous reports of straight-line winds of up to 70 mph. A large tree blew down on a power line and caused a fire. 7/12/2019 Thunderstorm A small complex of storms caused wind gusts of 50 to 55 mph occurred. wind Sporadic trees were blown down along the path, but the majority of the wind damage was minor. A large tree was snapped off on 8oth Street, and Babcock Avenue, southeast of Glencoe. 6/30/2019 Thunderstorm Several storms merged in west central Minnesota and developed a bow echo (2 events) wind segment. The bow echo surged eastward causing wind damage and a few severe wind gusts. $1o,000 in property damage was reported. 6/4/2019 Thunderstorm Scattered thunderstorms developed during the late morning across west (4 events) wind central Minnesota. These storms brought hail, damaging straight-line winds, and downburst. Areas around Hutchinson saw wind damage. Property damage was estimated at $5,500. 5/29/2018 Thunderstorm Thunderstorms brought severe wind gusts and significant wind damage (3 events) wind near Hutchinson, where there were numerous reports of downed trees and power lines. Some of the trees caused damage to homes. An initial damage assessment determined that there was about $54,000 in estimated public assistance damages. 5/24/2o18 Thunderstorm Several complexes of thunderstorms produced several reports of downed (2 events) wind trees, power lines, and a few large hail stones. Wind gusts between 50- 55 mph. 7/4/2017 Thunderstorm Thunderstorms developed in portions of west central and southwest wind Minnesota. A few storms became severe and produced hail. A severe downburst wind caused a large tree to blow down south of Silver Lake. 6/11/2017 Thunderstorm A mesoscale convective system developed overnight and traversed across (4 events) wind southern Minnesota, producing severe hail, wind, and a tornado. There were numerous reports of downed trees and power lines and the combination of strong winds and hail took a toll on property. $13,000 in property damages were reported. 8/19/2016 Thunderstorm Thunderstorms developed overnight, causing downed trees and power (3 events) wind lines. Numerous buildings across McLeod County were damaged by wind or fallen trees. $1oo,000 in property damages occurred. Page 1 56 Date Event type Description 8/4/2016 Thunderstorm A large complex of storms moved across central Minnesota during the early (3 events) wind morning hours of Thursday, August 4th. A few storms bowed out and caused severe wind gusts near Hutchinson. Most of the damage was associated with down trees and power lines, thought a semi -trailer was blown off the road south of Hutchinson. 7/27/2016 Thunderstorm A lone severe thunderstorm developed west of Winsted. This storm wind produced gusty winds and torrential rainfall. Several large tree branches were blown down across the city of Winsted. One large tree, 20 inches in diameter, also fell in Winsted on 6th Street. 7/23/2016 Thunderstorm Thunderstorms developed and moved northeast into southern and western wind Minnesota during the morning. Most of the damage was associated with uprooted trees and occasional severe wind gusts. Several large tree branches were blown down near Hutchinson. 6/22/2016 Thunderstorm A broken line of storms developed along a cold front Wednesday afternoon, wind June 22nd, across southern Minnesota. Initially, these storms were non - severe and produced some localized hail and gusty winds. As the storms moved into southeast Minnesota, a few reports of large hail were noted. There were also reports of damaging winds. Downed trees in Glencoe damaged a boat. $5,000 in property damages occurred. 7/17/2015 Thunderstorm Several severe thunderstorms developed in northeast South Dakota. As they (2 events) wind moved into Minnesota these severe storms began to bow out Severe wind gusts occurred as the bow echo began to accelerate eastward across southern Minnesota. Numerous reports of downed trees, power lines, and occasional hail were received. SOURCE: (NCEI, 2021) 5.2.2 PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE To determine the probability of future wind -related events in McLeod County, records of previous wind - related events (strong wind, high wind, and thunderstorm wind) in the county were examined for the period of record. Because the datasets have two different periods of record, separate relative frequencies were calculated. Thunderstorm wind events, which date back to January of 1955, have a relative frequency Of 3.3 per year. The relative frequency of all wind -related events since January of 1996 is 8.4 per year. These relative frequencies can be used to infer the probability of these events occurring in the future. 5.2.3 CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONS Lack of high -quality long-term data sets make assessment of changes in wind speeds very difficult (Kunkel et al., 2013). One analysis generally found no evidence of significant changes in wind speed distribution (Pryor et al., 2009), while other models suggest an increase in the frequency and intensity of severe thunderstorms as the climate changes (USGCRP, 2018). The lack of confidence in the projections of future changes in thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail, and windstorms, is in part due to the difficulty in monitoring and modeling these small-scale and short-lived events (USGCRP, 2018). Since the impact of Page 1 57 more frequent or intense storms can be significant, climate scientists are actively researching the connections between climate change and severe weather. 5.2.4 VULNERABILITY The likelihood of a windstorm event does not vary geographically within the county, but the vulnerability of its citizens is not constant. Vulnerability to injury from all kinds of windstorms decreases with adequate 17 1 nunaerstorm wind events, 1955-2020, McLeod Cedar i Dette Lurce 2005 Lake U 2006 1 2003 2003 005 Lake mills Stahl's LakL? 2003 2008 � —2005— 20020 O do 2014 Z 2016 d G2005 U. 2007 2014 2014 —1997 2015 O 8 Stewart 02104 705 2005 r12 2007 r 1997 d 2012 0 2011 d'2004 (`�1997 t• rr�n��2019 _ iaai r 2002 2004 2012 Marion 2005 Lake tO r--• 2004 2008 O 2005 O Brownton 1996 2 202003 i 2'17 2011 2002 O 2011 2002 4 O 108 0 SOURCE: (NCEI, 2021) 1997����00yy� 1997 Winsted QJ 2004 2004 2016 Wiuste 2011 20130 26,Sputh Late. 2004 O 2006 Y004 2004 O Silver Lake_ 2007 �-, 20040 1999 7 2011 7 2005 2005 Lester -Prairie 2003 Silver Lake 20171 O O O 1997 200`4..1998 201, 2008 2006 2005 2002 A iK itCFo J 2004 C'rvty ►-1verSo 8136ay 1997 II2004 0 2005 b1980 2012�, IIII O 2001 O ` 2002 2005 --- 2005 O Glencoe 2005 2002 PIatO 22 O — -2016 212 00 2016 1996 1986 QT1 2 1997 2017 1998 2005 2005 f:T2018 02018 20052019 2004 O 20042019 O C2013 7 Thunderstorm Wind Events 0 50 - 53 knots O 54 - 57 knots 0 58 - 65 knots 0 66 - 80 knots Page 1 58 warnings, warning time, and sheltering in a reinforced structure. Therefore, residents living in rural areas, living alone or with limited mobility, or living in a manufactured home may be more vulnerable. Also at a higher risk of windstorms are those who work outdoors or do not have permanent housing. Structural vulnerability depends in part upon the construction of a building and its infrastructure. Residents of mobile homes are more vulnerable to fatality or injury from windstorms because mobile homes are not able to withstand high winds as well as other structural dwellings, with 50 mph (43.4 knots) being the lower limit of wind speeds capable of damaging mobile homes (AMS, 2004). Steps to mitigate these vulnerabilities have been taken by the state, requiring all mobile home parks to provide an evacuation plan, and parks with at least io homes licensed after March 1, 1988 to provide a storm shelter (MDH, 2020). However, mobile home parks often do not provide the required storm shelters (Sepic, 2017). Building codes have also changed to improve the strength of new mobile home construction but there are still many older mobile homes in use that do not meet these new standards. The Housing Type & Transportation and Household Composition & Disability themes of the Social Vulnerability Index (Table 14) include variables that can be helpful in identifying where these vulnerable citizens are concentrated within the county. 5.2.5 PROGRAM GAPS AND DEFICIENCIES McLeod County Emergency Management identified several program gaps and deficiencies that make its citizens more vulnerable to summer storms, including windstorms, that should be addressed with new mitigation efforts to reduce vulnerability. These include: Above -Ground Power Lines: A majority of the power lines in the county are above ground and subject to damage from high winds and falling tree limbs from severe summer storms. Power lines that are above ground are susceptible to coming down during severe storm events, resulting in power outages. Public Education: Continued public education needs to be conducted during tornado season to inform the public about what a tornado watch/warning is and what to do when warning sirens are activated. McLeod County Emergency Management and local cities need to continue to encourage all residents to be ready for long-term power outages resulting from severe spring and summer storm events such as thunderstorms or straight-line winds. Additional Storm Shelters/Tornado Safe Rooms: Additional storm shelter areas in the county would enhance public safety. Construction or retrofit of facilities should be evaluated for areas where there are vulnerable populations, such as municipal campgrounds, sporting facilities, mobile home parks, and schools. Page 1 59 5.3 Tornadoes Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air formed in a thunderstorm when the rotating air of an updraft meets the spinning air of a downdraft, which has turned upward (UCAR, 2021). With wind speeds reaching up to 300 mph, they are one of nature's most violent storms (Hogeback, 2020). Since 2007, tornado strength in the United States has been measured using the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale), which replaced the original Fujita Scale (F Scale). The EF Scale is a set of estimated wind speeds based on damage (Table 23). The EF Scale incorporates the use Of 28 damage indicators to derive estimated wind speeds and assign an associated EF rating (NWS, 202ob; SPC, 2007). The EF Scale is used extensively by the NWS to investigate tornadoes, and by engineers in correlating damage to buildings and building techniques. Table 23. Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale) EF Rating 3-second gust (mph) 0 65-85 1 86-110 2 111-135 3 136-165 4 166-200 5 SOURCE: (NWS, 2020$) 5.4.1 HISTORY Over 200 From 1950 through 2018, 1,940 tornadoes occurred throughout Minnesota, resulting in 99 deaths and nearly 2,000 injuries (MN DNR, 2019b). While the majority of tornadoes in Minnesota are minor (Fo/EFo) and occur without injury, a number of the tornadic events will forever be remembered due to the sheer death and destruction they left behind. Examples include the St. Cloud/Sauk Rapids tornado of 1886, which claimed 72 lives, injured 213, and remains the deadliest tornado in the State's history. May 6,1965 is another day often remembered for tragedy when six tornadoes ravaged the Twin Cities, killing 13, injuring 683, and causing $51 million in damages (without inflation adjustment) (MN DNR, 2019b). The peak months of tornadic activity in Minnesota are June and July respectively (MN DNR, 2019b). According to the NCEI Storm Events Database, 24 tornadoes have occurred in McLeod County between 195o and August 2021, resulting in 11 injuries (NCEI, 2021), and an estimated 3.6-8.3 million U.S. dollars in property and crop damage (CEMHS, 2019; NCEI, 2021). The strength of these tornadoes ranged from Fo/EFo to F4. The costliest of these tornadoes occurred on June 19, 1951, when an F4 tornado formed in McLeod County near Hutchinson and traveled northeast until it dissipated in Anoka. This tornado injured 11 people and cost $250,000 in damages (NCEI, 2021). Table 24 lists the tornadoes that have occurred in McLeod County since 2015. Page I 6o Table 24. Tornadoes in McLeod County, January 2014 August 2021 Date Start Location End Location Magnitude Description During the afternoon of Friday, August e4th, thunderstorms developed along a warm front across central Minnesota. These storms were able to produce many (/events) Multiple Multiple EFo—EFe tornadoes, most of which were rated EFo, (2 events) but three were rated EFe. In addition to the tornadoes, there were other reports of downburst wind damage throughout central and southern Minnesota A tornado developed 3 miles southwest of Biscay and tracked northeast before dissipating. Corn was flattened along the path and some trees were uprooted. The second tornado spun up southeast of Silver (enntMultiple Multiple EFo Lake and produced a little damage to some (3 evveents)) trees. A third tornado spun up southeast of Silver Lake and tracked northeast before dissipating three miles east-northeast of Silver Lake. It destroyed outbuildings, damaged corn, and numerous trees. A tornado tracked through corn fields and damaged a few trees between Hutchinson 8/16/20e7 and Biscay. A second tornado occurred on (2 events) Multiple Multiple EFo the south side of Lester Prairie, producing a concentrated area of tree damage as it headed west. A funnel cloud occurred east of Winsted very close to the ground. Damage was verified at 7/27/20e6 Winsted Winsted EFo the same location, with several trees knocked down and heavy farm machinery moved. SOURCE: (NCEI, 2021) 5.3.2 PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE Estimating the probability of future tornadoes in McLeod was done using two methods. The first method summed the total number of tornadoes which either touched down in or traveled through the county. This sum was divided by the number of years tornado data was recorded, resulting in the annual relative frequency of tornado occurrences in the county. Based on records in the NCEI Storm Events Database through February 2020, the relative frequency of tornados in McLeod County is 0.3 per year. (These 22 tornadic events occurred in e6 of the 70 years on record.) Because tornadoes often cross county lines and tornadic frequency may be better understood using events from a larger area, a second method was used to describe the frequency of tornadic events within a 50- Page 1 61 mile radius of any location within the county. A grid of goo square -meter cells was used to cover Minnesota and 50 miles beyond its border. From the center of each cell, the number of tornadoes that intersected a 50-mile radius was counted. Each cell was assigned a total tornado line count, which was then divided by the tornado dataset's period of record, resulting in the annual relative frequency of tornadoes occurring within 50 miles of the respective cell. For any location in McLeod County, there was an annual frequency of 4.3-5.1 tornadoes within a 50-mile radius. The historical frequency was only slightly higher in the southeast than the northwest. These relative frequencies can be used to infer the probability of these events occurring in the future. Figure 18 shows the tornadoes that have occurred in McLeod County from 1950 through February 2020, as well as the annual frequency of tornado occurrences within 50 miles of any location within the county. 5.3.3 CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONS Tornadoes and other severe convective storms are the largest annual aggregated risk peril to the insurance industry, costing the U.S. $11.23 billion (in 2016 USD) each year (Gunturi & Tippett, 2017). Although recent research has yielded insights into the connections between global warming and the factors that cause tornados and severe thunderstorms, such as atmospheric instability and increases in wind speed with altitude (Del Genio et al., 2007), these relationships remain mostly unexplored, largely because of the challenges in observing thunderstorms and tornadoes and simulating them with computer models (USGCRP, 2018). According to Brooks et al., while the mean annual number of tornadoes in the U.S. has remained relatively consistent the variability of tornado occurrences has increased since the 1970s. According to the data, tornadoes have been occurring in larger clusters since the 1970's, with an overall decrease in the number of tornado days but an increase in the number of tornadoes that occur on tornado days (2014). An increase in the variability of tornado occurrences affects the timing of the start of the tornado season (Brooks et al., 2014). The earliest reported tornado in Minnesota occurred on March 6, 2017, when two tornadoes touched down in southern Minnesota. These tornadoes occurred 12 days earlier and 115 miles further north than the previous record from 1968. According to State Meteorologist Paul Huttner, "Those records fit seasonally and geographically with longer term climate trends pushing weather events earlier in the season and further northward" (Huttner, 2017). 5.3.4 VULNERABILITY Geographically, the likelihood of a tornado does not vary significantly within McLeod County; however, certain populations may be more vulnerable and less resilient to the impacts of a tornado. In general, tornado casualties decrease when people receive adequate warnings with sufficient time to seek shelter in a reinforced structure. Because communication is critical before a tornadic event, certain citizens may be more negatively impacted by a tornado, including those living in rural areas, individuals with limited mobility, people who do not live near an outdoor warning siren, or those who do not use social media. Page 1 62 As discussed in section 4.4.3, People living in mobile homes are particularly vulnerable to tornadoes due to them not being able to withstand the strong winds produced by a tornado. According to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center, from 1985-2002, 49% of tornado fatalities in the United States were people who Ngure 18. Tornadoes in McLeod County and Annual .dm, fivlL L.rA.

While Minnesota law requires most mobile home parks to have storm shelters, many do not (Sepic, 2017). Section 4.3 lists the mobile home parks in McLeod County. Some of the vulnerability factors mentioned above are included as social factors in the Housing Type & Transportation and Household Composition & Disability themed SVI map (Table 14) and may provide general insight on where in the county these vulnerable communities are located. 5.3.5 PROGRAM GAPS AND DEFICIENCIES McLeod County Emergency Management identified that there are several program gaps and deficiencies that make its citizens more vulnerable to summer storms, including tornadoes, that should be addressed with new mitigation efforts to reduce vulnerability. These include: Above -Ground Power Lines: A majority of the power lines in the county are above ground and subject to damage from high winds and falling tree limbs from severe summer storms. Power lines that are above ground are susceptible to coming down during severe storm events, resulting in power outages. Public Education: Continued public education needs to be conducted during tornado season to inform the public about what a tornado watch/warning is and what to do when warning sirens are activated. McLeod County Emergency Management and local cities need to continue to encourage all residents to be ready for long-term power outages resulting from severe spring and summer storm events such as thunderstorms or straight-line winds. Additional Storm Shelters/Tornado Safe Rooms: Additional storm shelter areas in the county would enhance public safety. Construction or retrofit of facilities should be evaluated for areas where there are vulnerable populations, such as municipal campgrounds, sporting facilities, mobile home parks, and schools. 5.4 Hail A hailstorm is a storm producing spherical balls of ice. Hailstones form in a thunderstorm's unstable air mass when warm moist air rises rapidly into the upper atmosphere and subsequently cools, leading to the formation of ice crystals. The ice crystals grow into hailstones through the storm's updraft and downdraft cycle, each time being coated with a layer of ice until the hailstone becomes too heavy to be carried by the updraft and falls to the ground. A number of factors determine the damage potential from hail including hailstone size, texture, numbers, fall speed, speed of storm translation, and strength of the accompanying wind (TORRO, 2021).

Table 25 shows the TORnado and storm Research Organization's (TORRO) Hailstorm Intensity Scale, which describes the typical damage from different sized hailstones. Hailstorms occur throughout the year though are most frequent between May and August (NCEI, 2021). Although hailstorms rarely cause injury or loss of life, they do cost Minnesota nearly $16 million in property and crop damage each year (CEMHS, 2019). In 2017, 44% of properties in Minnesota were affected by damaging hail events (Samanta & Wu, 2017). 5.4.1 HISTORY McLeod County experienced 238 hail events from 1955 through August 2021; 48% of these hailstorms produced hailstones >: 1 in. diameter. The largest hailstone recorded in McLeod County was 3 in., which occurred in Winsted on July 10, 20o8 and July 27, 2016 (NCEI, 2021). Hail damage to property and crops have cost the county more than 3.3 million dollars since 196o, ranking the county 63th for hail damage incurred by Minnesota counties (CEMHS, 2019). Table 26 lists hail events in McLeod County that produced hailstones >: 1 in. diameter since January 2015. Figure 19 shows the hailstorms in McLeod County which produced hailstones > 1" in diameter.

These storms were able to produce many tornadoes, most of which were rated EF-o, but three were rated EF-1. In addition to the tornadoes, there were other reports of downburst wind damage throughout central and southern Minnesota 2 There were numerous reports of large hail as a complex of storms began to organize, with hail stones measured up to 2.5 inches in diameter from a swath across southern Kandiyohi, western Renville, southwest McLeod, and parts of northwest, and central Sibley County. This hailstorm was very significant in terms of crop damage as the swath of hail was up to 6o miles long and six miles wide. Numerous reports of large hail fell in this area with the 1 large hailstone measured at 1.75. 1.75 Scattered thunderstorms developed during the late morning across west central Minnesota. As the storms moved east a few hail stones fell. A swath of large hail, up to golf ball size, occurred between Silver Lake and Lester Prairie. Thunderstorms began to develop across south central Minnesota and moved northward. Two storms produced significant wind damage. McLeod County declared a state of emergency on May 30, 2018 as a result of these high winds. Storms produced occasional hail stones up to quarter size. However, most of the storms were only producing dime to nickel size hail. Hail occurred in Sumter and Hutchinson. Hutchinson 1 A line of storms crossed through central Minnesota and Airport produced severe hail. Storms continued into the morning hours of July 26, producing thunderstorm wind damage. Multiple 1 Storms brought strong winds, heavy rain, hail, and tornadoes to south central Minnesota. Large hail and major thunderstorms surfaced quickly near the McLeod -Sibley county line. Hail was reported in Brownton, Stewart, and Heatwole. Page 1 66 Date Location Hailstone Damage Diameter (in.) 6/2/2017 Hutchinson 1.5 Thunderstorms developed in the afternoon of Friday, June end. These storms lasted less than 15 minutes, but some of the stronger updrafts created a few large hail stones. 3/6/2017 Hutchinson 1 A powerful storm system that developed across the northern plains Monday, March 6th, produced a swath of large hail and some damaging wind gusts. Almost all of the hail was dime size or smaller. 7/27/2016 Winsted 1-3 A lone severe thunderstorm developed in McLeod (2 events) County, west of Winsted, and intensified as it moved between Wright and Carver Counties. This storm produced gusty winds and torrential rainfall. 7/5/2o16 Multiple 1.75-2.5 Two areas of thunderstorms developed across west (2 events) central Minnesota. These two storms moved southeast across central and southern Minnesota and produced a swath of damaging winds, few tornadoes, and large hail. Hail occurred in Heatwole and Glencoe. 5/24/2o16 Multiple 1-1.75 Scattered thunderstorms across southern and central (6 events) Minnesota produced two areas of large hail and a damaging wind gust. Hail was reported in Heatwole, Glencoe, Brownton, and at the Glencoe Municipal Airport. 5/23/2016 Hutchinson 1.75 A cluster of thunderstorms developed during the afternoon of Monday, May 23rd. A few of the storms became severe and dropped nickel to golf ball size hail. A swath of large hail, up to golf ball size, was reported between Lake Hook Road and Oday Avenue on 240th Street. SOURCE: (NCEI, 2021) 5.4.2 PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE To determine the probability of future hailstorms in McLeod County, records of previous hail events in the county were examined for the period of record. From January 1955 through February 2020, the relative frequency of hail events was 3.6 per year. This relative frequency can be used to infer the probability of hail events occurring in the future. Please note that public reports of hail are often secondary to those of thunderstorm winds or tornadoes because if either damaging winds or tornadoes occur, the damaging wind and/or tornado are more important to the reporter and may result in underreporting of hail events.

Some studies indicate climate changes will result in fewer overall hail days but an increase in the mean hail size, the frequency of large hail events, and the overall damage potential of hail (Brimelow et al., 2017). The lack of confidence in the projections of future changes in thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail, and windstorms is in part due to the difficulty in monitoring and modeling these small-scale and short-lived events (USGCRP, 2o18). Since the impact of more frequent or intense storms can be significant, climate scientists are actively researching the connections between climate change and severe weather. Page 1 68 5.4.4 VULNERABILITY McLeod County's agricultural lands and structures are vulnerable to hail damage and its citizens to injury and possibly death. Data from the Spatial Hazard Events and Losses Database for the United States (SHELDUS) was examined to identify the county's monetary losses due to hail damage to crops, property, injury, and death. From 196o through 2018 McLeod County reported $3,327,606 in hail damages, ranking 63rd among Minnesota counties in total hail damages. McLeod County losses are primarily due to property damages reported at $2,148,022, followed by $1,179,584 in crop damages. Crop indemnity payments due to hail totaled $6,503,433 for the period of record spanning 1989-2018 (CEMHS, 2019). Within McLeod County, the vulnerability of jurisdictions to hailstorms does not vary geographically. As with all summer storms, those who work outdoors or do not have permanent housing are at greater risk during hailstorms. 5.4.5 PROGRAM GAPS AND DEFICIENCIES McLeod County Emergency Management identified that there are several program gaps and deficiencies that make its citizens more vulnerable to summer storms, including hail, that should be addressed with new mitigation efforts to reduce vulnerability. These include: Above -Ground Power Lines: A majority of the power lines in the county are above ground and subject to damage from high winds and falling tree limbs from severe summer storms. Power lines that are above ground are susceptible to coming down during severe storm events, resulting in power outages. Public Education: Continued public education needs to be conducted during tornado season to inform the public about what a tornado watch/warning is and what to do when warning sirens are activated. McLeod County Emergency Management and local cities need to continue to encourage all residents to be ready for long-term power outages resulting from severe spring & summer storm events such as thunderstorms or straight-line winds. Additional Storm Shelters/Tornado Safe Rooms: Additional storm shelter areas in the county would enhance public safety. Construction or retrofit of facilities should be evaluated for areas where there are vulnerable populations, such as municipal campgrounds, sporting facilities, mobile home parks, and schools. 5.5 Winter Storms Winter storms encompass a number of winter weather events which the National Weather Service (NWS) organizes into the following categories: blizzard, heavy snow, ice storm, lake -effect snow, sleet, winter storm, and winter weather. Winter weather events are common in Minnesota and can be costly. According to the Spatial Hazard Events and Losses Database (SHELDUS), winter weather events in Minnesota have cost more than $957 million dollars in damages since 196o (CEMHS, 2019). Page 1 69 The definitions below are used to record winter storm events in the NWS Storm Events Database (NCEI, 2021). Blizzard: A blizzard is a winter storm that has the following conditions for at least three consecutive hours: (1) sustained winds or frequent gusts of 35 mph or greater, and (2) falling and/or blowing snow which reduces visibility to less than 1/4 mile. Blizzards are the most dramatic and destructive of all winter storms generally characterized as bearing large amounts of snow accompanied by strong winds. They have the ability to completely immobilize travel in large areas and can be life threatening to humans and animals in their path. Blizzards in Minnesota have claimed the lives of 10 people since 1996: (NCEI, 2021). According to the NWS, there is no fixed temperature requirement for blizzard conditions, but the life - threatening nature of low temperatures in combination with blowing snow and poor visibility increases dramatically when temperatures fall below 20° F. In Minnesota, blizzards typically occur between October and April, with the majority occurring the months of January, March, and November, respectively. Figure 20. Thanksgiving Weekend Blizzard, Damages from blizzards can range from human and 2019 livestock deaths to significant snow removal costs. w 's Stranded drivers can make uninformed decisions, such oil as leaving the car to walk in conditions that put them at risk (Figure 20). Because of the blinding potential of _ heavy snowstorms, drivers are also at risk of collisions with snowplows or other road traffic. Drivers and J homeowners without emergency plans and kits are vulnerable to the life -threatening effects of heavy t snowstorms such as power outages, cold weather, and Q111 + inability to travel, communicate, obtain goods, or reach ALEx KoRMANN, AssocIATED PRESS their destinations. Heavy snow loads can cause structural damage, particularly in areas where there are no building codes or where residents live in manufactured home parks. The frequency of structural fires tends to increase during heavy snow events, primarily due to utility disruptions and the use of alternative heating methods by residents. Heavy Snow: A heavy snow event is characterized as snow accumulation meeting or exceeding the local/regional defined 12 and/or 24-hour warning criteria. Depending on the area, this could mean 4-8 inches or more of snow in 12 hours or less, or 6-10 inches or more of snow in 24 hours or less. Heavy snow events may cause structural damage due to the weight of snow accumulation. Ice Storm: An ice storm is characterized by a buildup of ice (typically 1/4-1/2 inch or more) due to freezing rain or other type of precipitation; however, even small accumulations of ice on sidewalks, streets, and highways may create extremely hazards conditions to motorists and pedestrians. The terms "freezing Page 1 70 rain" and "freezing drizzle" warn the public that a coating of ice is expected on the ground and other exposed surfaces. Heavy accumulations of ice can bring down electrical wires, telephone lines, and even trees, telephone poles, and communication towers. The NWS notes that over 85% of ice storm -related deaths are the result of traffic accidents. Winter Storm & Winter Weather: A winter storm is an event that has more than one winter hazard (i.e., heavy snow and blowing snow; snow and ice; snow and sleet; sleet and ice; or snow, sleet, and ice) and meets or exceeds locally/regionally defined 12- and/or 24-hour warning criteria for at least one of the precipitation elements. Winter weather is a winter precipitation event that causes a death, injury, or a significant impact to commerce or transportation, but does not meet locally/regionally defined warning criteria. The winter weather classification is also used to document out -of -season occurrences of winter precipitation. 5.5.1 HISTORY McLeod County has an active history of winter -related weather events. Since 1996, the county experienced 88 events, including blizzards, heavy snows, ice storms, winter storms, and winter weather (NOAA NCEI, 2020). Winter weather events in the county have cost over $8.2 million dollars in property and crop damages since 196o (CEMHS, 2019). Table 27 provides descriptions from the NCEI Storm Events Database of the events that have occurred since 2015, the year the county's MHMP was last updated. Table 27.Winter-related weather events in McLeod County, January 2014 August 2021 Date Type Description A mixture of freezing rain, sleet, and snow started late Wednesday morning across 12/23/2020 Blizzard the county. By the mid -late afternoon, blizzard conditions developed and continued through the evening. 10/20/2020 Winter Storm Snowfall amounts across the county ranged from 4-8 inches. 3/15/20 Winter Several sources of weather observations indicated 4-7 inches of snow fell across Storm McLeod County. 2/9/2020 Winter Storm Snowfall in McLeod County was measured and reported to be 6-8 inches. Snowfall rates of one-half inch per hour occurred during the late morning and Winter afternoon. Gusty winds accompany the snowfall and freezing drizzle also 1/17/2020 Storm occurred during the afternoon and into the evening, accumulating some ice. Five to six inches of snow fell total. Significant blowing and drifting snow occurred on Saturday, January 18, with whiteout conditions in open country. 11/26/2019 Winter The county received four to seven inches of snow. Storm Page 1 71 Date Type Description Several waves of precipitation occurred across the county with heavy snow at the 4/io/2o19 Winter start and a mixture of sleet, rain, and snow during the overnight hours before Storm transitioning to mainly light snow and drizzle. Snowfall totals averaged nine to twelve inches. 3/9/2019 Winter There were several hours of rain, mixed with sleet at times, before changing over to Storm snow. Snowfall totals of around four to nine inches fell across the county. Light snow fell during the evening and led to two to four inches across the county. 2/24/2019 Blizzard Combined with winds of over 30 mph, white out and blizzard conditions developed. 2/20/2019 Winter Eight to ten inches of snow fell across the county. The heaviest snowfall occurred Storm during the morning with snowfall rates of one inch per hour. 2/7/2019 Heavy The county received up to eight inches of snow. Snow 4/14/2018 Blizzard Winds of 25-30 mph mixed with fresh snow to create poor visibility. Numerous accidents occurred, along with cars stuck in the snow across the county. Several waves of precipitation fell across McLeod County. The first wave produced 4/13/2018 Winter some sleet and snow and the next wave brought heavy snowfall. The heaviest Storm snowfall rates were one to two inches per hour. Total snowfall amounts by ranged from fourteen to eighteen inches. 4/3/2018 Winter Storm Snowfall amounts ranged from 5-7 inches across the county. 3/4/2018 Winter McLeod County received four to six inches of snowfall during this winter storm. The Storm storm also produced sleet and freezing drizzle at times. 2/24/2018 Winter Six to eight inches of snow fell across the county. The heaviest occurred in the early Storm evening with snowfall rates of one half to one inch per hour. Winter Winds of 30-35 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph at times, created blowing and 2/7/2016 Storm drifting snow. The county had isolated incidents of whiteout conditions, mainly in the far southwest corner. 2/2/2016 Winter Six to eight inches of snow fell in the county throughout the day with additional Storm light snow and blowing snow overnight. 3/22/2015 Winter Storm The county saw 6-9 inches of snow. 1/8/2015 Blizzard Winds of up to 45 mph in open country combined with a heavy snowfall to create hazardous roads with accidents reported during the height of the blizzard. SOURCE: (NCEI, 2021) 5.5.2 PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE To determine the probability of future winter -related storm events in McLeod County, records of previous events (blizzards, heavy snows, ice storms, winter storms, and winter weather) were summed and divided by the dataset's period of record, resulting in the annual relative frequency of winter -related storms. Based on records in the NCEI Storm Events Database through February 2020, the relative frequency of winter -related storm events in McLeod County is 3.5 per year. This relative frequency can be used to infer the probability of these events occurring in the future. Page 1 72 5.5.3 CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONS Historically, winter storms have had a large impact on public safety in Minnesota. This will continue, with a possible increase in annual total snowfall (MPCA, 2018c). Winter weather is often the cause of power outages. Pressures on energy use, reduced reliability of services, potential outages, and the potential rise in household costs for energy are major climate change risks to public health. According to the 2015 Minnesota Weather Almanac, seasonal snowfall records across the state from 1890-2000 showed that 41 of 46 climate stations recorded an increase in average annual snowfall, by as much as io inches. Climate change is causing the atmosphere to hold more moisture, that drives heavier than normal precipitation. Higher snowfall levels can result in greater runoff potential during spring snowmelt, and many watersheds in Minnesota have shown more consistent measures of high -volume flows during spring, often at or above flood stage (Seeley, 2015). 5.7.4 VULNERABILITY Transportation systems, electrical distribution systems, and structures are vulnerable to winter storms throughout the county. These events do not vary geographically within the county; all jurisdictions are equally vulnerable. While it is highly likely these events will continue occurring annually, the amount of snow and ice and number of winter -related storm events to occur each year are unpredictable. Citizens living in climates such as these must always be prepared for situations that put their lives or property at risk. It is important that extra consideration be given to the vulnerable populations and energy infrastructure discussed in section 4.3• 5.7.5 PROGRAM GAPS AND DEFICIENCIES McLeod County Emergency Management identified that there are several program gaps and deficiencies that make its citizens more vulnerable to severe winter storms that should be addressed with new mitigation efforts to reduce vulnerability. These include: Above -Ground Power Lines: A majority of the power lines in McLeod County are above ground and subject to damage from ice storms, wind, and falling tree limbs. Power lines that are above ground are susceptible to coming down during severe winter storm events, resulting in power outages. Public Education: McLeod County Emergency Management and local cities need to continue to encourage all residents to be ready for long-term power outages or to be snowed in during dangerous winter events such as ice storms and blizzards. Backup Power: Not all designated shelter facilities have generator back-up power to provide the ability to care for residents if displaced during a severe winter event coupled with an extended power outage. Page 1 73 5.6 Extreme Cold Due to Minnesota's position in the middle of the continent and subsequent climate, the state may experience extremely frigid temperatures in winter. Winter in McLeod County can be especially dangerous when low temperatures and wind create arctic -like wind chills. Wind chill, defined as how cold people and animals feel when outside, is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold. As wind increases it draws heat from the body, driving down skin temperature and eventually the internal body temperature. The National Weather Service (NWS) issues a wind chill warning when life -threatening wind chill values are expected or occurring. The criteria for issuing official wind chill warnings and advisories are set by the local weather forecasting office (WFO). The Minneapolis WFO (MPX) uses a wind chill warning criteria of —35 °F or colder to issue a wind chill warning and —25 °F and colder for a wind chill advisory in McLeod County (NWS, 2010). Figure 21 shows the relationship between temperature and wind speed to measure wind chill. 5.6.1 HISTORY Extreme cold temperatures affect McLeod County nearly every year. January is the coldest month in the Central Minnesota climate division, with an average monthly minimum temperature of 3.4 °F (Vose et al., 2021). Extreme cold data was compiled from the Midwestern Regional Climate Center Figure 21. AWS wind chill temperature index SOURCE: (NWS, 2010) Page 1 74 (MRCC) using daily minimum temperature data from weather stations in McLeod County which have complete datasets (< 10% missing data), as well as cold -related events reported in the NCEI Storm Events Database. Extreme cold days in McLeod County were counted each day a station's daily minimum temperature reached -18 OF, a standard used by the National Weather Service to report cold weather events (2018). There is one weather station in the county currently reporting daily temperature. From January 1, 2015 through June 5, 2020, daily low temperatures <- -18 OF were recorded 12 times at the Brownton weather station (GHCN, 2020; NWS, 202oa; NWS COOP, 2020). McLeod County experiences an average of 2-3 extreme cold days each year. The lowest daily low temperature reported since January 2014 was -32 OF recorded by the Brownton station on December 19, 2016. The lowest temperature ever reported in McLeod County occurred on January 18, 1994 when temperatures plummeted to -39 OF at the Hutchinson 1N station (GHCN, 2020; NWS, 202oa; NWS COOP, 2020). Daily minimum temperatures mentioned above do not factor in wind chill. The NCEI Storm Events Database includes eight cold/wind chill and eleven extreme cold/wind chill events affecting McLeod County since 1996 (NCEI, 2021). No one in McLeod County died or was injured from these events; however, indirect deaths due to stress on those with other serious health conditions were likely to have occurred. Table 28 shows cold -related events in McLeod County as reported to the NCEI Storm Events Database since January 2015. Table 28. Cold events in McLeod County, January 2014-August 2021 Date Event Type Description 2/14/2021 Extreme cold / An Arctic air mass moved across the Upper Midwest. The lowest wind chill wind chill value of -40 OF occurred near Hutchinson. 2/13/2021 Extreme cold / An Arctic air mass moved across the Upper Midwest. The lowest wind chill wind chill value of -39 OF occurred near Hutchinson. 2/12/2020 Extreme cold / Weather sensors indicated that wind chill values dropped below -35 OF by wind chill mid evening of Wednesday, February 12th. These wind chill values continued until Thursday morning. 1/29/2019 Extreme cold / Several local weather sources measured wind chill values lower than -35 OF wind chill from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday morning. The coldest wind chill was -55 OF at the Hutchinson airport. 12/30/2017 Extreme cold / Several sources reported wind chill values averaging between -35 OF and 40 wind chill OF from early Saturday morning through Sunday morning. The worst conditions occurred Sunday morning when wind speeds combined with cold lows to produced wind chill values around -38 OF. 12/17/2016 Extreme cold / Several sources of observations, including airport and public weather wind chill stations, indicated wind chill values dropping below -35 OF for several hours. The coldest wind chill values were around sunrise when a few locations reached -45 OF in open areas. SOURCE: (NCEI, 2021) Page 1 75 5.6.2 PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE To determine the probability of future cold -related events in McLeod County, records of previous cold/wind chill and extreme cold/wind chill events were summed and divided by the dataset's period of record, resulting in the annual relative frequency. Based on records in the NCEI Storm Events Database through January 2020, the relative frequency of cold -related events in McLeod County is .7 per year (NCEI, 2021). These 17 events occurred in nine of the 24 years on record. This relative frequency can be used to infer the probability of these events occurring in the future. 5.6.3 CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONS Although climate research indicates that Minnesota's average winter lows are rising rapidly and our coldest days of winter are now warmer than we have ever recorded (MN DNR, 202oa) cold temperatures have always been a part of Minnesota's climate and extreme cold events will continue. An increase in extreme precipitation or storm events such as ice storms as the climate changes could lead to a higher risk of residents being exposed to cold temperatures during power outages or other storm -related hazards during extreme cold. 5.6.4 VULNERABILITY The risk of extreme cold does not vary geographically within the county. Citizens living in climates such as these must always be prepared for situations that put their lives or property at risk. The youngest and more elderly citizens, homeless persons, individuals with chronic medical conditions, and those who are working or recreating outdoors are most at risk for frostbite and hypothermia (MDH, 2021b) It is not always the depth of the cold that poses a threat but rather unpreparedness for the cold, such as an individual with a vehicle breakdown who lacks a personal winter safety kit in the vehicle. The cost of propane can make rural citizens more vulnerable to issues with extreme cold. A propane shortage and resulting crisis, such as that which occurred in 2014, may increase the cost of heating homes and farms to a prohibitive amount (Eaton, 2014). The Minnesota Department of Commerce presents options and suggestions for homeowners who use propane on their website: https://mn.gov/commerce/consumers/tips-tools/propane/ The CDC publication "Extreme Cold: A Prevention Guide to Promote Your Personal Health and Safety" outlines preparation measures that individuals can take to reduce their vulnerability to extreme cold. Highlights in this document include advice about travel preparations, securing your home water supply, and safety during recreation (CDC, 2021). 5.6.5 PROGRAM GAPS AND DEFICIENCIES McLeod County Emergency Management identified that there are several program gaps and deficiencies that make its citizens more vulnerable to extreme cold that should be addressed with new mitigation efforts to reduce vulnerability. These include: Page 1 76 Generators for Backup Power to Healthcare Facilities: Not all assisted living, long-term care, and nursing home facilities have backup generator power. In the event of extreme cold periods coupled with a power outage, these facilities would be at high risk with vulnerable populations. Generators for Backup Power to Shelter Facilities: Not all designated shelter facilities have generator back-up power to provide heat if there is a loss of power during an extreme cold event. 5.7 Extreme Heat Extreme heat is the combination of very high temperatures and exceptionally humid conditions. When the atmospheric moisture content is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases and the human body feels warmer (NWS, 2021). Heat stress can be indexed by combining the effects of temperature and humidity. The NWS Heat Index in Figure 22 is a measure of how hot the body feels when relative humidity is factored in with actual air temperature. The heat index values are for shady locations - exposure to direct sunlight may increase these values by up to 15 'F. Extreme heat events are linked to a range of illnesses, even death, and can exacerbate pre-existing chronic conditions (Moss, 2017). Medical costs related to extreme heat can be enormous: in 2005, the total was $1.5 billion nationwide, or more than $16,000 per patient (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2009). Heat - related hazards have cost McLeod County over $63,000 in property damages since 196o (CEMHS, 2019). Figure 23 describes the effects increasing levels of heat has on the body during prolonged exposure and/or physical activity. Figure 22.

To measure the frequency of extreme heat days in McLeod County, the county's weather station's daily maximum temperatures were examined with 90 OF used as the benchmark. McLeod contains one active weather stations with complete datasets (< io% missing data). From January 1, 2015 through June 5, 2020, daily high temperatures >_ 90 OF were reported 20 times from the Brownton station (GHCN, 2020; NWS, 202oa; NWS COOP, 2020). McLeod County experiences an average of 3-4 extreme heat days each year. The highest daily maximum temperature reported during this time was 98 OF recorded by the Brownton station on May 29, 2018. The highest temperature ever reported in McLeod County occurred on August 1, 1988 when temperatures reached io6 OF at the Stewart station (GHCN, 2020; NWS, 202oa; NWS COOP, 2020). Daily maximum temperatures do not factor in humidity. The NCEI Storm Events Database receives data on heat and excessive heat events from the National Weather Service (NWS). According to the NWS, a heat event results from a combination of above normal high temperatures and relative humidity, while an excessive heat event is characterized by well above normal high temperatures and high humidity (2018). Heat -related events are reported to the Storm Events Database whenever heat index values meet or exceed regionally established heat thresholds. In Minnesota, a heat advisory is issued when the maximum heat index is around ioo OF or higher. An excessive heat warning occurs when the maximum heat index is around 105 OF and the minimum heat index is around 75 OF or higher (NWS, 2019). Since January 1996, six heat and three excessive heat events occurred in McLeod County (NCEI, 2021). Only one of these events occurred since the county's last Hazard Mitigation Plan update —an excessive heat event on July 20, 2016, when heat indices across McLeod County rose over 105 OF for several hours during the afternoons of July 20 and 21. The highest the heat index reached was 113 OF. No injuries or fatalities resulted from this event; however, indirect deaths due to stress on those with other serious health conditions were likely to have occurred. Page 1 78 5.7.2 PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE To determine the probability of future heat -related events in McLeod County records of previous heat and excessive heat events were summed and divided by the dataset's period of record, resulting in the annual relative frequency of heat -related events. Based on records in the NCEI Storm Events Database through January 2020, the relative frequency of heat -related events in the county is .4 per year. These nine events occurred in six of the 24 years on record. This relative frequency can be used to infer the probability of these events occurring in the future. 5.7.3 CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONS Seven of Minnesota's io warmest years occurred in the last 15 years. Projected increases of 2°F to 6°F more are expected by 205o and 5°F to 1o°F more by 2100 (MN EQB, 2014). The Midwest has experienced major heat waves, and their frequency has increased over the last six decades (Perera et al., 2012). For the U.S., mortality increases 4% during heat waves compared with non -heat wave days (Anderson & Bell, 2011). Heat stress is projected to increase as a result of climbing summer temperatures and humidity (Schoof, 2012). McLeod County's exposure to extreme heat is expected to increase if no action is taken to reduce heat - trapping emissions. Several factors are used to indicate changes in extreme heat exposure, including cooling degree days. Cooling degree days are used to indicate the amount of cooling a building will need in response to weather, based on a threshold of 65 'F. Days with a daily average temperature above this threshold are known as cooling degree days referencing the need for cooling inside buildings. Cooling degree days are calculated from the daily average temperature minus 65 'F. For example, if a weather station recorded an average daily temperature of 78 °F, cooling degree days for that station would be 13. In 2019, McLeod County had 425 cooling degree days. With medium action to curb climate change, McLeod County is projected to have 491 cooling degree days by 2050. With low action to curb climate change the expected number of cooling degree days within the county jumps to 646 days by 2050 (MDH & University of Minnesota, 2019). 5.7.4 VULNERABILITY The Minnesota Department of Health released a 2012 Minnesota Extreme Heat Toolkit, to help local governments prepare for extreme heat events. In their toolkit, they note extreme heat events are often dubbed "silent killers" because deaths and illnesses from these events are often misunderstood and underreported. Minnesota has no official system to report deaths and illnesses linked to extreme heat (MDH, 2012). It is important to not underestimate the danger of extreme heat events within the state. High temperatures can be exacerbated by the urban heat island effect in densely developed areas, an effect that amplifies higher temperatures in areas with a higher concentration of impervious and paved surfaces. These types of surfaces absorb more heat and hold it for longer than vegetation cover (EPA, 2019). Impervious surfaces cover 3% of McLeod County (MDH & University of Minnesota, 2019) Impervious surfaces are not spread evenly throughout the county and attention should be given to cities Page 1 79 or areas within the county that contain the largest amounts of this type of surface cover. Except for these areas, the risk of extreme heat does not vary geographically. The impact extreme heat has on individuals is not equal. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), population groups more vulnerable to extreme heat include: • Older adults (>_65 years old). The elderly are not able to easily adjust to sudden changes in temperature and are more likely to have a chronic medical condition, or take medication affecting their body's ability to control its temperature. • Infants and children. Young children and infants have limited control with their surroundings and rely on others to keep them cool and hydrated. • Individuals with chronic health conditions. These individuals are less likely to respond to changes in temperature, may be taking a medication which exacerbates the effects of extreme heat, or have a condition which is a risk -factor for heat -related illness (e.g., heart disease, mental illness, poor blood circulation, and obesity). • People with low income. These individuals may not be able to afford to properly cool their home and may face transportation challenges when trying to access cooling shelters. • Athletes and people working outdoors. Both groups are likely to exert energy while being exposed to the heat (CDC, 2020). Warming temperatures will continue to increase the risk of extreme heat, especially among these already vulnerable populations. In 2018, 18% of McLeod County's population was over 65 years old, 26% of the county was classified as low income, and 20% of the county were beneficiaries of Medicare (MDH & University of Minnesota, 2019). Many of the population groups vulnerable to extreme heat are included as social variables in the CDC's SVI data, specifically in the Socioeconomic Status, and Household Composition & Disability themes. See Section 4.3.1 for information on geographic variability of social vulnerabilities in SVI themes. 5.7.5 PROGRAM GAPS AND DEFICIENCIES McLeod County Emergency Management identified that there are several program gaps and deficiencies that make its citizens more vulnerable to extreme heat that should be addressed with new mitigation efforts to reduce vulnerability. These include: Generators for Backup Power to Healthcare Facilities: Not all assisted living, long-term care, and nursing home facilities have backup generator power. In the event of extreme heat periods coupled with a power outage, these facilities would be at high risk with vulnerable populations. Generators for Backup Power to Shelter Facilities: Not all designated shelter facilities have generator back-up power to provide cooling if there is a loss of power during an extreme heat event. Page I 8o 5.8 Drought Within the broad domain of natural hazards that comprise disaster science, drought is unequivocally the most difficult to define. This is primarily due to its insidious nature, and because the parameters that typically control it vary both spatially and temporally. For instance, the hydro -meteorological conditions that constitute drought in one location may not necessarily qualify as drought in a contrasting climate. Even in regions that share a statistically similar climate, other factors such as soil type, antecedent moisture conditions, ground cover, and topography all play a vital role in dictating drought emergence. To further complicate matters, drought is associated with a diverse number of climatic and hydrological stressors, all of which come with a unique set of collective impacts that affect nearly every corner of our economy and environment. Subsequently, there are over 15o different definitions of drought, not just because it is difficult to define, but precisely on the grounds that drought affects different regions in different ways (Fu et al., 2013). When one attempts to merge and understand these various definitions and impacts, it is evident that drought can be integrated into five principal categories, including: meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, ecological, and socio-economic drought (Figure 24). Meteorological drought is qualified by any significant deficit of precipitation. Hydrological drought is manifest in noticeably reduced river and stream flow and critically low groundwater tables. The term agricultural drought indicates an extended dry period that results in crop stress and harvest reduction. Figure 24.

It associates economic goods with the elements of meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological drought. Many supplies of economic goods (e.g., water, food grains, and hydroelectric power) are greatly dependent on the weather. There are numerous approaches to assessing drought conditions. The current gold standard for accurate drought conditions in the United States is the United States Drought Monitor (USDM) Map. Established by the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) in 1999, the Drought Monitor is a weekly map that depicts drought conditions in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Each weekly map is produced by a NDMC- assigned author. Though drought map authors utilize a broad domain of geospatial, climatic data, as well as drought indices that cover every aspect of drought, perhaps their most valuable resource is the input they receive each week from hundreds of drought experts throughout the country. The drought monitor map is thus a collective synthesis of the best quantitative and the most reliable qualitative information available. Figure 25 displays an example map and statistics table prepared by the USDM for Minnesota on August 17, 2021. This figure shows the first introduction of a D4 area in the state on MN since the USDM process began in early 2000. In total, there are four drought categories: • moderate (Di) • severe (D2) • extreme (D3) • exceptional (D4) A fifth category, abnormally dry (DO), is used to depict areas that are abnormally dry but not yet in drought. Abnormally dry conditions are indicative of the meteorological circumstances that precede drought onset and those that are coming out of drought. DO is often considered a bellwether of drought but it is also an accurate warning sign that crop growth may be slowed, and wildfire risk may be elevated (NDMC et al., 2021). Table 29 describes the impacts reported from previous droughts in Minnesota for each drought level.

This drought is also the only time a drought in the county rose to the level of D3 (extreme), which lasted for 26 of the weeks and affected about 1.5% of the county land. Page 1 83 Table 3o. Average percent o McLeod Coun 's land area by drought category Timeframe No Drought DO Di D2 2011-2015 42% 18% 29% 12% 0.1% 0% 2o16-2020 96% 4% 0% 0% 0% 0% % Change +129% -77% -100% -100% -100% 0% (NDMC ET AL., 2021) Minnesota is experiencing the worst drought conditions since 1988 in the summer Of 2021 at the time this plan was compiled. All of McLeod County experienced severe drought in 2021. Nearly all of McLeod County is in a D2 drought at the writing of this report. It is the only drought >- D2 since its last Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2015. This is the 5tn driest June and the 8tn driest year-to-date in the 127 years of record (NIDIS, 2021). By the end Of July 2021, the DNR had suspended water appropriations in 17 watersheds, which had not yet included McLeod County. Suspension of more surface water appropriations is expected, unless there is a dramatic change in the current precipitation pattern (MN DNR, 2021b). Another significant drought in the McLeod County area that predates the USDM occurred between 1987 and 1989. Below -normal precipitation coupled with declining lake levels, ground water levels, and stream flow created statewide concern. To facilitate coordination of drought response actions, a State Drought Task Force was convened by the Director of the Division of Waters. The State Drought Task Force brought together local, state, and federal officials to share information and coordinate drought response strategies. Several actions were taken following the summer of 1988 to better prepare the state for the next drought. The Governor appointed a Twin Cities Water Supply Task Force specifically to make recommendations on how to meet future water demands in the event of low -flow conditions on the Mississippi River. The U.S. Corps of Engineers initiated review of its operating plans for the Mississippi River headwater reservoirs, and the 1989 legislature charged the Metropolitan Council with preparing water use and supply plans for the metropolitan area. Today the responsibilities, plans, and actions related to drought planning are outlined in the Minnesota Statewide Drought Plan (MN DNR, 2009). There is no record in the UDSM of McLeod County ever experiencing an exceptional drought (D4) (NDMC et al., 2021) When comparing the two most recent 5-year timeframes (2011-2015 and 2016-2020) the USDM data shows a reduction in the percent of county land affected by drought at all levels. Table 30 shows the breakdown of this comparison. 5.8.2 PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE To determine the probability of future droughts in McLeod County, records of previous droughts were summed and divided by the dataset's period of record, resulting in the annual relative frequency of droughts. The USDM database was examined from January 2000-August 2, 2021 for any occurrence of Page 1 84 drought >_ Di in McLeod County, regardless of the duration of the drought. According to the weekly reported data, the relative frequency of McLeod County experiencing drought conditions >_ Di is 1o.6 weeks per year, and the relative frequency of drought conditions >_ D2 is 4.1 weeks per year (NDMC et al., 2021). The relative frequency of past droughts can be used to infer the probability of similar droughts occurring in the future. 5.8.3 CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONS In 2007, 24 Minnesota counties received drought designation, while 7 counties were declared flood disasters; in 2012, 55 Minnesota counties received federal drought designation at the same time 11 counties declared flood emergencies (MN EQB, 2014); and as of the writing of this plan, August 2021, t00% of Minnesota is experiencing a level of drought, with nearly all of McLeod County being in a severe drought (D2) (NDMC et al., 2021). Droughts have been happening throughout Minnesota's history, but it is not yet clear the degree to which climate change may impact future droughts (Moss, 2017). While there was no apparent change in drought duration in the Midwest over the past century (Dai, 2011), the average number of days without precipitation is projected to increase in the future (USGCRP, 2018). The climate models used in the 2014 National Climate Assessment projects Minnesota to have an increase in days over 9o°F by mid-century, however, the future drought situation is less clear. The climate model run with the lower -emissions scenario projects no significant change in the number of consecutive days of no rain, while the higher emissions scenario show an increase in dry periods, increasing Minnesota's drought risk (Moss, 2017). These climate models are shown in Figure 26. Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, projected higher air temperatures will cause increased surface evaporation and plant water loss, leading to drier soils. As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions (Mueller & Seneviratne, 2012).

Overseen by the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC), the Drought Impact Reporter (DIR) is a comprehensive database that gathers drought -related reports from a variety of sources and identifies the sector(s) impacted by each drought. The NDMC (NDMC et al., 2021) defines a drought impact as "[a]n observable loss or change that occurred at a specific place and time because of drought." A drought meeting this definition is categorized based on the sector(s) the drought impacts; therefore, a single drought affecting multiple sectors will be counted once for each respective sector it impacted. DIR records show nine drought incidents impacting six sectors in McLeod County. All incidents occurred between 20o6 and 2021 and are displayed in Table 31. Since droughts are regional in nature, jurisdictions within McLeod County do not vary in their vulnerability to drought; however, the impact from droughts are not equal. Drought conditions may impact soil moisture reserves, groundwater supplies, lake levels and stream flows. Water -dependent industries that experience the greatest impacts include: agriculture, public utilities, forestry and tourism (MN DNR, 2021b). In addition, droughts may negatively affect an individual's health by contributing to poor air quality caused by wildfire smoke and particulate, or a dusty environment. The 2021 drought resulted in elevated fire danger in roughly the northern two-thirds of the state, and record high particulate readings across Minnesota due to the Canadian wildfires (Huttner, 2021). Populations vulnerable to these conditions include children, older adults, and those with respiratory issues. The Household Composition & Disability SVI theme map is made up of these population groups and should be reviewed to better understand the vulnerability of each jurisdiction (ATSDR, 2020). According to the DIR, McLeod County's agriculture sector has been impacted by drought more than once, and with 79% of McLeod County's land devoted to cultivated crops, the county's agriculture community is also vulnerable to the economic impact a drought may have on crops. From 1989-2018, Table 31. Reported drought impacts for McLeod County Sector # of drought impacts reported Agriculture 3 Business & Industry 0 Energy 0 Fire 2 Plants & Wildlife 1 Relief, Response & Restrictions 6 Society & Public Health 0 Tourism & Recreation 1 Water Supply & Quality 2 (NDMC ET AL., 2021) Page 1 86 McLeod County received $31,759,555 (2018 ADJ) in crop indemnity payments due to drought, placing it as the 17th-highest-paid county in Minnesota (CEMHS, 2019). 5.8.5 PROGRAM GAPS AND DEFICIENCIES McLeod County Emergency Management identified existing program gaps and deficiencies that make its citizens more vulnerable to periods of drought that should be addressed with new mitigation efforts to reduce vulnerability. These include: Water Conservation Provisions/Use Restrictions: Water conservation provisions and use restrictions in times of drought should be included in county or city ordinances. 5.9 Landslides Erosion is the wearing away of land, such as the loss of a riverbank, beach, shoreline, or dune material. It is measured as the rate of change in the position or displacement of a riverbank or shoreline over a period of time. Short-term erosion typically results from periodic natural events, such as flooding, hurricanes, storm surges and windstorms, but may be intensified by human activities. Long-term erosion is a result of multi -year impacts such as repetitive flooding, wave action, sea level rise, sediment loss, subsidence, and climate change. Death and injury are not typically associated with erosion; however, major incidents of erosion, such as landslides, can destroy buildings and infrastructure (FEMA, 2013b). The movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope by the force of gravity is considered a landslide. They occur when the slope or soil stability changes from stable to unstable, which may be caused by earthquakes, storms, erosion, fire, or additional human -induced activities. Slopes greater than 10 degrees are more likely to slide, as are slopes where the height from the top of the slope to its toe is greater than 40 feet. Slopes are also more likely to fail if vegetative cover is low and/or soil water content is high. Potential impacts of a landslide include environmental disturbance, property and infrastructure damage, and injuries or fatalities (USGS, 2021a). Slope materials that become saturated with water may develop a debris flow or mud flow. The resulting slurry of rock and mud may pick up trees, houses, and cars, thus blocking bridges and tributaries causing flooding along its path (USGS, 2021a). Landslides and mudslides often occur together with other major natural disasters, thereby exacerbating relief and reconstruction efforts. Wildfires may remove vegetation from hillsides, significantly increasing runoff and landslide potential. Floods and landslides are closely related, and both involve precipitation, runoff, and ground saturation that may be the result of severe thunderstorms; however, landslides also take place over time and often take place when no natural disaster is evident. Page 1 87 5.9.1 HISTORY There are no publicly available reported issues of landslides occurring in McLeod County since its last Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2015. A representative from McLeod County suggested there was an area of erosion concern along State Highway 7 from Lace Avenue easterly 1.8 miles through the curve. There have been ongoing erosion issues along the Buffalo Creek in Brownton. The Soil and Water Conservation District has investigated the costs of fixing a failing bank. The project was much too big for the Buffalo Creek Watershed District to fund fully and other federal funding sources were unable to contribute to a project on private land. Given the lack of data on landslide incidents in Minnesota, the locations of Best Management Practices (BMPs) reported to the MN Board of Soil and Water Resources (BWSR) were used to identify areas in the State which may be more susceptible to landslides. BMPs are ways to manage land and activities to protect water quality and promote soil conservation, they can be a structural "thing" or part of a process. The BWSR identifies five BMPs which may be implemented to mitigate against erosion and slope failure issues that may result in landslide. Descriptions of these BMPs and the number of them installed in McLeod County are in Table 32. Table 32.

Treatment(s) used to stabilize and protect banks of streams or constructed channels, and shorelines of lakes, reservoirs, or estuaries. Measures used to stabilize the bed or bottom of a channel. An earth embankment, or combination ridge and channel, generally constructed across the slope and minor watercourses to form a sediment trap and water detention basin. 24 3 17 Page 1 88 While BMPs are spread throughout McLeod County, higher concentrations of them are in the townships of Hutchinson, Helen, Collins, and Lynn, as well as the City of Hutchinson. The lack of landslide data in Minnesota has prompted researchers from eight colleges and universities across Minnesota to examine the prevalence of landslides across the state and compile an inventory of geological activity. By summer 2021, this research will produce tools and data for mitigation and restoration including a landslide inventory and landslide susceptibility map (Gran, 2016). 5.9.2 PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE The lack of landslide data makes it is difficult to determine the probability of future landslides in McLeod County by reviewing historic incidents. The USGS conducted an analysis for potential landslide of the conterminous US, and while highly generalized and not intended to be used for local planning, still provides a general overview of landslide potential. The delineation process of this research is based on geologic formations of the US which were classified as having high, medium, or low landslide incidence; and being of high, medium, or low susceptibility to landslides (Radbruch-Hall et al.,1982). The research classified all of McLeod County as having a low susceptibility to landslides and a low incident count. In addition to reviewing the USGS study the locations of installed BMPs affiliated with erosion and slope failure can be an indicator as to where these issues have happened in the past and may continue being an issue in the future. We can infer from available data that the probability of destructive landslides occurring in susceptible areas in the county is low. 5.9.3 CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONS The increased magnitude and frequency of flooding events and storm activity that may result from climate change may in turn increase the risk of soil erosion and landslides. According to University of Washington geologist Dave Montgomery, "If the climate changes in a way that we get a lot more rainfall you would expect to see a lot more landslides" (Phillips, 2014). In Minnesota, the wettest days are getting wetter. This can contribute to increased erosion in many locations due to flooding and saturation of soils. Reduced ice cover on lakes and shorelines (due to warmer temperatures) could potentially expose shorelines to increased erosion or damage during weather events when they previously may have been covered with ice (Pryor et al., 2014). According to the 2014 National Climate Assessment, "Increased precipitation intensity also increases erosion, damaging ecosystems and increasing delivery of sediment and subsequent loss of reservoir storage capacity" (Pryor et al., 2014). 5.9.4 VULNERABILITY Properties, structures, and individuals located in areas susceptible to slope failure are vulnerable to landslides. Radbruch-Hall's study determined the area along the Minnesota River is at a higher risk of Page 1 89 landslide than other areas (1982), however, with 5o BMPs installed throughout the county to address issues of erosion and slope failure, it is worth examining the locations of these BMPs as the areas may be more vulnerable to landslides. According to the McLeod County Emergency Manager, there have been ongoing erosion issues along the Buffalo Creek in Brownton, a failing bank where five houses are at risk. There are steep slopes along more sections of Buffalo Creek and the Crow River that would justify having setbacks. Hutchinson Township contains 20% of the BMPs, all of which are water and sediment control basin projects clustered in an area northwest of Komensky. Another 18% of BMPs are located in Helen Township, about half are grade stabilization structure projects located along Judicial Ditch Number Eight. Collins and Lynn Township each contain 16% of the BMPs, most of these projects located along the Buffalo Creek, the South Fork Crow River, and Otter Lake. The parcels in the county on which BMPs were installed are classified as various types of residential land, commercial land, municipal land, golf course, and agricultural. Structures on these parcels may be more vulnerable to issues of erosion and landslides given the nature of the BMPs installed on the properties. 5.9.5 PROGRAM GAPS AND DEFICIENCIES McLeod County Emergency Management identified existing program gaps and deficiencies that make its citizens more vulnerable to landslides that should be addressed with new mitigation efforts to reduce vulnerability. These include: Erosion on County Road Slopes: There are no known gaps with the erosion on slope adjacent to county roads, but there has not been an inventory. High Rain Events and Erosion -related Hazards: Erosion, landslides, land subsidence, and soil surface displacement continue to be ongoing concerns. Continued high rainfall amounts are changing the landscape of creeks and rivers in McLeod County and lakeshore areas. 5.10 Dam & Levee Failure A dam is a structure built across a stream or river to retain water for the purpose of storage or control. The difference in elevation between the water at the top and bottom of a dam creates large amounts of potential energy, allowing the chance for failure. Dam failures are typically not caused by storm events. In the U.S., 36% of dam failures are due to mechanical reasons (malfunctioning gates, conduits, or values); 34% are from hydraulic failures (overtopping due to inadequate spillway design, debris blockage, or the settlement of the dam crest), and 3o% are caused by structural failures (foundation defects from settlement and slope instability) (FEMA, 2013c). A levee is a structure, typically made from embankments of dirt, built along the edges of rivers and streams to contain, control, or divert the flow of water to prevent flooding of the adjacent land (Lotha et Page I go al., 2019). Common causes for levees failing include foundation failure, surface erosion, or overtopping (USACE, 201o). Both dam and levee failures can be devastating, resulting in loss of human life, downstream property damage, lifeline disruption (transportation routes and utility lines required to maintain or protect life), and environmental damage. Dams and levees require constant monitoring and regular maintenance to ensure their integrity. Dam & Levee Regulation: There are over 1,15o dams in Minnesota (MN DNR, 202ob). Dam regulatory authorities vary between state and federal agencies based mainly on the ownership of the dam. The MN DNR Dam Safety Program has the mission of protecting the life and safety of people by ensuring that dams are safe. Minnesota's Dam Safety Program sets minimum standards for dams and regulates the design, construction, operation, repair, and removal of both privately and publicly (non-federal) owned dams (MN DNR, 202ob). The federal government is responsible for regulating and maintaining dam safety of federally owned dams. No single agency regulates all federally owned dams. 42% of federal dams are owned and managed by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) and the Bureau of Reclamation. The remaining federal dams are owned and managed by other federal agencies, including the Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, the Department of Defense, and the Bureau of Indiana Affairs, among others (Normand, 2019).The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Dam Safety Program is the largest dam safety program in the U.S. The Commission works with federal and state agencies to ensure and promote dam safety of over 3,000 dams across the U.S. The Commission inspects projects on an unscheduled basis to investigate potential dam safety problems; complaints about constructing and operating a project; safety concerns related to natural disasters; and issues concerning compliance with the term and conditions of a license (FERC, 2020). Similar to dams, levees in Minnesota are regulated by various federal, state, and local entities that own the levee. While the USACE has designed and built many of the levees in the U.S., the USACE is only responsible for the maintenance of federally owned levees in the USACE system. Dam & Levee Inventory: There are nine dams and three levees in McLeod County. Table 33 provides the properties of each dam and Table 34 lists the properties of each levee in the county. Table 31.

(UJA�"E, 2020B) 5.10.1 HISTORY According to the State Dam Safety Engineer at the MN DNR, there are no records of a dam or levee failure in McLeod County 5.10.2 PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE To determine the probability of future dam or levee failures in McLeod County, records of previous failures and the period in which they occurred were examined. There MN DNR has zero records of dam failures occurring in the county; therefore, the relative frequency of these events is o per year. This relative frequency can be used to infer that the probability of dam failures occurring in the future is very low. Page 1 92 5.10.3 CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONS Dams are designed based on assumptions about a river's annual flow behavior that will determine the volume of water behind the dam and flowing through the dam at any one time. Changes in weather patterns due to climate change may change the expected flow pattern, and indirectly increase the likelihood of dam failures. It is conceivable that bigger rainfalls at earlier times in the year could threaten a dam's designed margin of safety, causing dam operators to release greater volumes of water earlier in a storm cycle in order to maintain the required margins of safety. Such early releases of increased volumes can increase flood potential downstream. Minnesota had a dam failure due to a large storm event in June 2012. The Forebay Canal in Carlton County had operated as designed for nearly ioo years. The intensity of the 2012 rain event caused a failure of the canal wall, which caused significant damage. Climate change is adding a new level of uncertainty that needs to be considered with respect to assumptions made during dam construction. 5.10.4 VULNERABILITY Although dam regulatory authorities differ between various federal and state agencies, all authorities attempt to classify dams according to the potential impacts from a dam failure or mis-operation. In response to the numerous classification systems, FEMA's Interagency Committee on Dam Safety created a downstream hazard potential classification system that is adaptable to any agency's current system. Table 35 provides an overview of the main criteria agencies consider when determining a dam's downstream hazard potential. This classification system does not imply that the dam is unsafe, but rather categorizes dams based on the probable loss of human life and the impacts on economic, environmental, and lifeline interests (FEMA, 2004a) Dams for which a hazard potential has not been designated, or is not provided, are classified as "Undetermined." An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is a document which identifies potential emergency conditions at a dam and specifies preplanned actions to be followed during a dam failure to minimize property damage or loss of life. An EAP is required for Class I dams and strongly recommended for Class II dams (MN DNR, 2o2ob). Table 35. Downstream hazard potential classification criteria Hazard Potential Classification Loss of Human Life Economic, Environmental, Lifeline Losses Class III (Low) None expected Low and generally limited to owner Class II (Significant) None expected Yes Class I Probable - one or more Yes (High) expected. (but not necessary for this classification) SouRCE: (USACE, 2oo8) Page 1 93 Five of the dams in McLeod County are a Class III (low hazard potential), one is Class II (significant hazard potential), and no hazard information is available for the other three dams. None of the dams have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP), therefore, no information is available or required about vulnerable structures or populations in the event of a failure. In addition to dams being classified by their hazard potential, the physical condition of dams is inspected and given a condition ranking. The condition of a dam is categorized into one of the following classifications: Satisfactory: No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the applicable regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines. Fair: No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal loading conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Poor: A dam safety deficiency is recognized for loading conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. "Poor" may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Further investigations and studies are necessary. Unsatisfactory: A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution. Not Rated: The dam has not been inspected, is not under state jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated. (USACE, 20o8) Dams in "Poor" or "Unsatisfactory" conditions may be more vulnerable to failure and pose a greater threat to the surrounding community and infrastructure. Fortunately, none of the dams in McLeod County that have been given a condition ranking are ranked below "Fair." The location of levees and location and condition of dams in McLeod County are mapped in Figure 27. Similar to dams, levees have a Levee Safety Action Classification (LSAC) "...designed to take into account the probability of the levees being loaded, existing condition of the levee, the current and future maintenance of the levee, and the consequences if a levee were to fail or be overwhelmed" (USACE, 202oa). Table 36 shows the LSAC's five levels of risk, as well as the actions that should be taken at each risk level.

No Verdict Not enough information is available to assign an LSAC. *Levee risk is the risk that exists due to the presence of the levee system, and this is the risk used to inform the decision on the LSAC assignment. The information presented in this table does not reflect the overtopping without breach risk associated with the presence or operation of the levee system.

A breached levee can have serious consequences to the community relying on the levee to hold water back. Table 37 provides a summary of the county's levees and community assets protected by the respective levee. 5.10.5 PROGRAM GAPS AND DEFICIENCIES McLeod County Emergency Management did not identify any program gaps or deficiencies that make its citizens more vulnerable to dam and levee failure. Page 1 97 Section 6 -Mitigation Strategy The goal of mitigation is to protect lives and reduce the impacts of future hazard events including property damage, disruption to local and regional economies, the amount of public and private funds spent to assist with recovery, and to build disaster -resistant communities. Mitigation actions and projects should be based on a well -constructed risk assessment, provided in Section 5 of this plan. Mitigation should be an ongoing process adapting over time to accommodate a community's needs. 6.1 Community Capability Assessments The capability assessment identifies current activities and existing planning tools used to mitigate hazards. The capability assessment identifies the policies, regulations, procedures, programs and projects that contribute to the lessening of disaster damages. The assessment also provides an evaluation of these capabilities to determine whether the activities can be improved in order to more effectively reduce the impact of future hazard events. The following sections identify existing plans and mitigation capabilities within all of the communities: • Appendix D: Lists the plans and programs in place in McLeod County as related to hazard mitigation. • Appendix C: As part of the McLeod County MHMP update, the county and city governments were asked to participate in filling out a "Local Mitigation Survey" (LMS) form to report on their current mitigation capabilities and program gaps. Appendix C provides the LMS reports gathered for McLeod County. Information from the capability assessments was used to support development of local mitigation actions for implementation over the next five years (see column Comments on Implementation&Integration). 6.1.1 NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM (NFIP) The NFIP is a federal program created by Congress to mitigate future flood losses nationwide through sound, community -enforced building and zoning ordinances and to provide access to affordable, federally backed flood insurance protection for property owners. The NFIP is designed to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods. Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between local communities and the federal government that states that if a community will adopt and enforce a floodplain management ordinance to reduce future flood risks to new construction in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the federal government will make flood insurance available within the community as a financial protection against flood losses. Table 38 below lists and describes jurisdictional participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Page 1 98 Table 38.

The city has a FEMA map and is not participating (considered "sanctioned" by FEMA) The City of Brownton works with McLeod County on some areas of concern. The City and McLeod County continue to monitor these areas each year. The City of Glencoe City Administration is responsible for Zoning Administration and maintains the floodplain maps and floodplain management ordinance for the City. Chapter 530 to 544 of the city Code amended in 2014, Floodplain Regulations establishes restrictions and requirements for any development within Special Flood Hazard Areas. The City of Hutchinson's Planning and Zoning Department maintains the floodplain maps and floodplain management ordinance for the City. Chapter 154.o85-154.o98 of the city Code, Floodplain Regulations establishes restrictions and requirements for any development within Special Flood Hazard Areas. The City of Lester Prairie utilizes our own Flood Management Plan that is contained in Chapter 5, Section 5.3 and is addressed specifically with the adoption of Ordinance * 313. We also work closely with McLeod County and participate with them in Flood and Emergency Management and as a guide, we also utilize Section 12 — FP — Flood Plain District. We have an active management plan and continue to modify is as suggested by FEMA and our interaction with McLeod County. The City of Plato has adopted a floodplain ordinance and enforces management requirements on the small portion that is within the city limits. The City of Silver Lake enforces it Floodplain Management Ordinance and regulates all building and zoning with the floodplain. The city does not have a FEMA map and is not participating.

SOURCE: (CEIL STRAUSS, MN FLOODPLAIN MANAGER, PERSONAL COMMUNICATION, APRIL 6, 2020) Repetitive loss properties are defined as properties that have had two or more flood insurance claims of $1,000 or more in any rolling io-year period. Property owners are asked to consider mitigation activities such as acquisition, relocation, or elevation, among other options. FEMNs Repetitive Loss (RL) properties strategy is to eliminate or reduce the damage to property and the disruption to life caused by repeated flooding of the same properties. Property owners are notified of their status by FEMA. McLeod County has two RL properties and a total of four losses. The properties are both single-family residences. Payments have totaled $25,768 as of September 2021. There are no severe repetitive loss properties (SRL) in McLeod County. 6.1.2 PLANS AND ORDINANCES McLeod and its incorporated communities have a number of plans and ordinances in place to ensure the safety of residents and the effective operation of communities including a Zoning Ordinance, Floodplain Ordinance, Emergency Operations Plan, and Wellhead Protection Plan. 6.1.3 PLANS AND PROGRAMS IN PLACE TO ADDRESS NATURAL HAZARDS McLeod County has numerous plans and programs in place to address natural hazards. Some of these programs are specific to a hazard and others address impacts and human safety for many types of events (All Hazards). For the purpose of grouping related natural hazards, "Summer Storms" encompasses Tornadoes, Windstorms, Lighting and Hail. Following is a description of the plans and programs in place by McLeod County to support mitigation for the hazards addressed in this plan. All Hazards All Hazards Emergency Operations Plan: McLeod County Emergency Management maintains an all -hazards Emergency Operations Plan which details key emergency management functions (i.e., Public Information and Warning, Evacuation, Mass Care Sheltering, etc.) that may be necessary in advance of, during and following hazard events that pose risk to life safety. This includes events such as severe summer and winter storms, tornadoes, extreme temperatures, flooding, and wildfire. Page I ioo Public Warning and Emergency Notification: In the event of emergencies or hazardous conditions that require timely and targeted communication to the public, McLeod County utilizes the CodeRED emergency notification system which users must sign up for ("opt -in service"). As part of CodeRED's automated weather warnings, residents can opt to receive the following warning information: flash flood, thunderstorm, tornado, and winter storm. McLeod County also has IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert Warning System) which allows for both targeted and countywide emergency notifications to both residents and visitors (not an "opt -in" service). Severe spring and summer storm warnings are initiated by the National Weather Service or by local trained SKYWARN spotters. Extreme cold temperature warnings and extreme heat warnings, and winter weather warnings are issued by the National Weather Service - Chanhassen office for McLeod County, MN. McLeod County Emergency Management and local media help to relay NWS weather warnings. Residents receive warnings by NOAA weather radio, CodeRED Weather Warning, local media, social media, cell phone apps, and the outdoor warning siren system. Preparedness Outreach: McLeod County Emergency Management utilizes our Emergency Management website; McLeod County Sheriffs Office and McLeod County Facebook pages; and local news media to communicate with residents and visitors on emergency preparedness. A link for the CodeRED emergency notification system is located on the homepage of the McLeod County website. Shelter Facilities- There are designated shelter facilities within McLeod County. A severe storm or a period of extreme heat/cold coupled with a major power outage may require emergency sheltering for those in need. McLeod County Emergency Management and McLeod County Health & Human Services maintain a list of shelters within the county and have trained staff for shelter operations. McLeod County has sheltering and pet sheltering plans in place in the county emergency operations plan. NOAA Weather Radios: McLeod County Emergency Management promotes the use of NOAA weather radios by schools, long-term care facilities, county buildings, local residents, and visitors to receive information broadcast from the National Weather Service. We promote use of these radios in advance of and during our severe weather months using our McLeod County social media outlets and during the NWS severe weather awareness weeks. Backup Power: Generator back-up power is in place for the McLeod County EOC in the Courthouse, Law Enforcement Center, & Hutchinson Area Transportation Services (HATS) building in Hutchinson that houses city, county, and state public works. There will also be back up power at the McLeod County Government Center in Glencoe (opens January 2021). Severe Winter Storms Winter Hazard Awareness Week: McLeod County Emergency Management helps promote and participates in the National Weather Service's "Winter Hazard Awareness Week" held in November Page I ioi each year. The event provides education to residents on the dangers of winter weather and how to properly prepare themselves. We utilize the McLeod County Sheriffs Facebook page, SharePoint postings for county employees, and local news media to share information with the public. Snow Removal: The McLeod County Public Works Department is responsible for the removal of snow and ice from county roads, as well as some township roads and city streets based on interagency agreements. The department completes its snow removal process in accordance with the McLeod County Public Works Department Snow Removal Policy. MnDOT removes snow from State Highways as well as disperses salt/sand as needed. Severe Summer Storms Outdoor Warning Sirens: There are a total of 29 outdoor warning sirens in the cities within McLeod County. There are not rural areas or county parks that have sirens. Sirens are activated when the National Weather Service notifies dispatch of high winds or tornado conditions that pose a risk to the public. Warning sirens are owned by the jurisdictions where they are located and maintained by those jurisdictions. All sirens are remotely activated by the McLeod County Sheriffs Office. SKYWARNProgram: McLeod County Emergency Management works with the National Weather Service to offer training on an annual basis to local fire and law enforcement departments and local residents that wish to be trained as volunteers. SKYWARN spotters help to keep their local communities safe by providing timely and accurate reports of severe weather to their local National Weather Service office. Severe Weather Awareness Week — McLeod County Emergency Management helps promote and participates in the National Weather Service's "Severe Weather Awareness Week" held in April each year. The week-long event seeks to educate residents on the dangers of severe storms and highlights the importance of preparing for severe weather before it strikes. We utilize our sheriffs office Facebook page and local news media to share information with the public. Tree Management — The McLeod County Highway Department actively clears trees on the right- of-way of county -owned roads to reduce the danger of trees falling on roads during severe storm events such as thunderstorms, straight-line winds or ice storms. Local road authorities (townships) are encouraged to do the same. MDH Requirements for Manufactured Home Parks: The McLeod County Public Health Department has delegated the responsibility of working with the owners of manufactured home parks (MHP's) within the County to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). MDH completes annual or bi-annual inspections to ensure that they are meeting MDH requirements for storm shelters and evacuation plans. Shelter and evacuation plans must be approved by the municipality in which they are located and submitted to MDH. MHPs within McLeod County include Country Club Terrace in Hutchinson, Fratzke Trailer Park in Hutchinson, McDonald's Trailer Park in Page 1 102 Hutchinson, Haukos Trailer Park in Glencoe, Sunrise Park in Glencoe, Essex Trailer Park in rural Glencoe, Lester Prairie Trailer Park in Lester Prairie, and Country Acres Trailer Park in Winsted. County Parks & Campgrounds: McLeod County has six County Parks totaling 571 acres. Two parks are regional facilities which allow overnight camping. The other four parks are day parks. Park locations: Buffalo Creek Park (Glencoe), Swan Lake Park (Silver Lake), William May Park (Winsted), Stahl's Lake Park (Hutchinson), Lake Marion Regional Park (Brownton), and Piepenburg Regional Park (Hutchinson). Camping facilities are available at Lake Marion and Piepenburg Park and have storm shelters/restroom facilities constructed to help protect RV and tent campers that are vulnerable to severe weather events such as high winds and damaging hail and thunderstorms. The other four -day parks also have restroom facilities that could be used as storm shelters, but they are often small and may not have adequate space for those in the park. Flooding Floodplain Mapping & Ordinance: McLeod County's Planning & Zoning Department maintains the floodplain maps and floodplain management ordinance for the county. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP): McLeod County and 7 of the 9 cities participate in the NFIP (either with or without FEMA-mapped high -risk areas). Only the Cites of Biscay and Stewart do not participate in the NFIP. McLeod County Floodplain Management: The McLeod County Environmental Services Office is the repository for the National Flood Insurance Program's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), as well as flood boundary and floodway maps for rural McLeod County. The Environmental Services Office can assist county residents in determining whether their property is affected by an officially mapped flood area. Flood Insurance Rate Maps are available on the McLeod County website under GIS (Mapping & Surveying/County Maps/Environmental). Road & Bridge Maintenance and Repair: The McLeod County Public Works Department maintains an inventory of the condition of county roads and bridges and slates improvement projects as needed on an annual basis. Following high -rain events or flood disasters the Public Works Dept. assesses damages due to erosion and flood damage and implements mitigation for those areas such as road re -surfacing, culvert replacement, and ditch/bank stabilization. McLeod County Floodplain & Shoreland Ordinances: The McLeod County Environmental Services Department administers land use and zoning ordinances for rural and unincorporated portions of McLeod County, including for floodplains and shoreland. The department also provides information and support for environmental health issues that may impact water quality after flooding occurs. McLeod County's Zoning Ordinance addresses shoreland management regulations including building regulations to mitigate against flooding during high-water elevation (for structures along lakes, ponds, flowages, rivers, and streams). Page 1 103 Stormwater Management Ordinance & Plans: The McLeod County Comprehensive Local Water Plan (2013-2023) addresses the storm -water management plan for the county. McLeod County Drainage Administration: McLeod County has a Drainage Systems Manager and two Drainage Technicians that oversee management of 767 miles of open ditch and 1,811 miles of underground tile in McLeod County, consisting of over 143 drainage systems. McLeod County has digitized the original drainage system maps. Private landowners with property that adjoin county ditches are encouraged to help keep them free and clear of debris. McLeod County Comprehensive Local Water Plan: The McLeod County Comprehensive Local Water Plan was developed to supplement drainage projects with methods aimed at reducing peak flows and erosion, trapping sediment, reducing nutrient loading, and improving water quality throughout the watershed districts located in McLeod County. The plan includes practices that can be incorporated by individual landowners that can contribute towards higher water quality through erosion control, soil stability, and nutrient management. Watershed Districts — The McLeod County Soil and Water Conservation District, Buffalo Creek Watershed District, and the High Island Watershed District are located within McLeod County and oversee regional planning and project efforts related to projects within the watershed that reduce the impacts of high rain events and resulting localized flooding and erosion. Extreme Cold Extreme Cold Safety Awareness: McLeod County Emergency Management and McLeod County Public Health promote public awareness of personal safety measure to take during periods of extreme cold, such as minimizing exposure and being prepared with survival kits in vehicles during winter. Extreme Heat Extreme Heat Safety Awareness: McLeod County Emergency Management and McLeod County Public Health promote public awareness of personal safety measure to take during periods of extreme heat, such as minimizing exposure and staying hydrated. Drought McLeod County Comprehensive Local Water Plan: The McLeod County Comprehensive Local Water Plan describes both surface and groundwater quantities and quality. It also addresses the county's water needs and concerns. Public Awareness: In the event of drought conditions, McLeod County Emergency Management works in concert with the NWS and MN DNR to raise public awareness of the dry conditions and increased danger of wildfire. Page 1 104 Landslides Setback Ordinance: McLeod County Planning and Zoning Department has an ordinance in place that states the setback for construction by bluff areas is 30 feet and an increased setback can be imposed if construction is near an actively eroding bluff. McLeod County Soil and Water Conservation District: The McLeod County Soil & Water Conservation District provides access to natural resource management and conservation services and provides technical, financial, and educational assistance to landowners to address natural resource concerns. The SWCD manages a cost share program to fund practices for erosion control, sedimentation control, or water quality improvements designed to protect and improve soil and water resources. Projects that may be eligible for cost -share funding include critical area planting, diversions, windbreak - shelterbelt establishment, grassed waterway, livestock waste management, filter strips, sediment basins, streambank and shoreline protection, strip -cropping, terraces, well decommissioning, and forestry conservation practice. Dam Failure No specific programs. 6.2 Mitigation Goals The goals and strategies for natural hazards in the 2019 Minnesota State Hazard Mitigation Plan were adopted for use in the McLeod County Plan. This framework, as outlined below, will allow for integration of the mitigation actions that are listed by McLeod County and its jurisdictions into the state plan. The state will then be able to develop a statewide strategy that will benefit all of Minnesota. Flooding Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss and economic disruption due to all types of flooding (riverine, flash, coastal, dam/levee failure). Wildfire Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, natural resource and economic disruption due to wildfires (forest, prairie, grass, and peat bogs). Windstorms Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and economic disruption due to windstorms. Hail Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property damage, and economic disruption due to hailstorms. Winter Storms Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and economic disruption due to winter storms (blizzard, ice, and ice storm). Lightning Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property losses, loss of services, and economic disruption due to lightning. Tornado Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and economic disruption due to tornadoes. Page 1 105 Drought Goal: Reduce economic loss and environmental impacts due to drought. Extreme Heat Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, and economic disruption due to extreme heat. Extreme Cold Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, and economic disruption due to extreme cold. Dam/Levee Failure Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, natural resource and economic disruption due to dam/levee failure. Erosion/Landslide/Mudslide Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and economic disruption due to hillside, coastal, bluff: caused primarily by oversaturation of soil. 6.3 Mitigation Action and Project Strategies The mitigation actions in this plan are summarized into four main strategy types, as described in the FEMA publications Local Mitigation Planning Handbook (2013) and Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for Reducing Risk to Natural Hazards (2013). A fifth strategy type was determined by Minnesota HSEM for use within the state: Mitigation Preparedness and Response. The strategies and example actions are listed in Table 39 below: Table 39. Mitigation strategies and action types Mitigation Description Example Mitigation Actions Strategy • Comprehensive plans Land use ordinances • Planning and zoning Building codes and enforcement These actions include government authorities, • Floodplain ordinances Local Plans and policies, or codes, that influence the way land • NFIP Community Rating Regulations and buildings are developed and built.

Culverts impact of hazards. . Safe rooms Page I io6 Mitigation Description Example Mitigation Actions Strategy Many of these types of actions are projects eligible for funding through the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance program. These are actions that minimize damage and Natural Systems losses and also preserve or restore the Protection functions of natural systems. These are actions to inform and educate citizens, elected officials, and property owners about hazards and potential ways to mitigate them. These actions may also include participation in national programs, such as StormReady or Firewise Education and Communities. Although this type of Awareness mitigation reduces risk less directly than Programs structural projects or regulation, it is an important foundation. A greater understanding and awareness of hazards and risk among local officials, stakeholders, and the public is more likely to lead to direct actions. This is a State of Minnesota mitigation strategy Mitigation with the intent of covering preparation and Preparedness actions that protect life and property during a and Response natural disaster. • Sediment and erosion control • Stream corridor restoration • Forest management • Conservation easements • Wetland restoration and preservation • Radio or television spots • Websites with maps and information • Real estate disclosure • Presentations to school groups or neighborhood organizations • Mailings to residents in hazard - prone areas. • StormReady Certification • Firewise Communities • Emergency operations plan • Flood fight plans and preparedness • Dam emergency action plans • Warning • Backup power • Emergency capabilities Local leaders work together with the McLeod County emergency management director to assure that the hazards and mitigation actions included in this plan are accurate and addressed in their jurisdictions. Development of mitigation actions for the county and each city was informed by a community's hazard and risk assessment; identification of local vulnerabilities, and review of capabilities in place to address mitigation. Planning team members, local elected officials and staff from McLeod County and each city actively participated in the development and review of mitigation action charts for implementation through participation in planning team meetings (see Appendix F) and development of Local Mitigation Surveys (see Appendix Q. Additional jurisdictional and public feedback was incorporated following news releases inviting public input to the planning process (see Appendix G). Page 1 107 The McLeod County risks and mitigation activities identified also incorporate the concerns and needs of townships, school districts, and other entities participating in this plan. Appendix J contains the jurisdictional mitigation action charts for the cities of Biscay, Brownton, Glencoe, Hutchinson, Lester Prairie, Plato, Silver Lake, Stewart, and Winsted. Following is an overview the mitigation action charts and description of each element of the chart. Number (*) Each mitigation action is identified by a number. Hazard Each mitigation action is identified by the natural hazard that it relates to. Actions that fall under "All - Hazards" relate to both natural and non -natural hazards. Mitigation Strategy Each mitigation action is identified by one of the following five mitigation strategies. • Local Planning and Regulations • Structure and Infrastructure Projects • Natural Systems Protection • Education and Awareness Programs • Mitigation Preparedness and Response Support See Table 39 for a description of each mitigation strategy and related types of actions. Mitigation Action Each mitigation action provides a concise, action -oriented description of the action or project to be undertaken. If a mitigation reduces risk to new or existing buildings/infrastructure it is noted. Status The status of each mitigation action is indicated by one of the following categories: • New — New actions that have been identified since the last plan. • Existing — Actions that are carried over from the last plan or have been updated. • In Progress — Actions from the last plan that are currently being acted upon. Mitigation actions that have been completed or deleted from the 2015 McLeod County Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan are identified and reported on in Appendix H. Completed and deleted mitigation actions are not carried over into the updated mitigation action chart. Priority In the review and discussion of selected mitigation strategies and actions, the planning team ranked of mitigation actions by priority for implementation. Table 40 provides criteria that were taken into consideration in the process. Page I 1o8 Table 40. Criteria_for mitigation action priority rankin Ranking Criteria • Methods for reducing risk from the hazard are technically reliable. • The County has experience in implementing mitigation measures. High • Mitigation measures are eligible under federal grant programs. Priority • There are multiple mitigation measures for the hazard. • The mitigation measure(s) are known to be cost effective. • The mitigation measures protect lives and property for a long period of time or are permanent risk reduction solutions. • Mitigation methods are established. • The County has limited experience with the kinds of measures that may be Moderate appropriate to mitigate the hazard. Priority • Some mitigation measures are eligible for federal grants. • There is a limited range of effective mitigation measures for the hazard. • Mitigation measures are cost-effective only in limited circumstances. • Mitigation measures are effective for a reasonable period of time. • Methods for reducing risk from the hazard are not well -established, are not proven reliable, or are experimental. • The State or Counties have little or no experience in implementing mitigation measures, and/or no technical knowledge of them. Low • Mitigation measures are ineligible under federal grant programs. Priority • There is a very limited range of mitigation measures for the hazard, usually only one feasible alternative. • The mitigation measure(s) have not been proven cost effective and are likely to be very expensive compared to the magnitude of the hazard. • The long-term effectiveness of the measure is not known or is known to be relatively poor. Timeframe Each mitigation action identifies the anticipated timeframe for implementation of the action within the next five-year planning cycle. • Ongoing — Implementation of the action will require continued application. • Defined (year) — Implementation of the action will occur within a defined time frame that is noted. • TBD — The anticipated time frame for implementation of an action is to be determined. Responsibility Each mitigation action identifies what personnel, department or agency will be lead for the administration or implementation of the action. Page I log Comments on Implementation & Integration Each mitigation action provides a description of how the jurisdiction will work to implement the mitigation action and incorporate the activity into other existing planning mechanisms. Possible Funding Each mitigation action identifies where potential funding may come from to support implementation of the mitigation activity, such as existing county or city funding, state or federal funding. Projects that may be eligible for future FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant funding are noted. The McLeod County Mitigation Action Chart is provided in Table 41. Appendix J provides the mitigation action charts developed for each city participating in the MHMP update. Page 1 1lo Table 41.

The plan should be updated and approved by FEMA at a minimum of every five years. The guidance in this section will function as the primary tool when reviewing progress on the implementation of the McLeod County MHMP. The McLeod County Emergency Management Director (EMD) is the individual responsible for leading all efforts to monitor, evaluate, and update the hazard mitigation plan within the five-year window. Throughout the five-year planning cycle, the McLeod County EMD will work with the McLeod County Emergency Managers Group (MCEMG) to serve as the group to help monitor, review, evaluate, and update the Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan. The MCEMG includes designated city emergency managers and fire chiefs from the cities of Biscay, Brownton, Glencoe, Hutchinson, Lester Prairie, Plato, Silver Lake, Stewart, and Winsted and includes city administrators as needed. The McLeod County EMD conducts outreach to and communicates with the MCEMG on a quarterly basis on emergency management matters regarding severe weather awareness, local preparedness, mitigation, and response & recovery as needed. Additional stakeholders will be added based on need or in response to severe weather events. Additional stakeholders will be added based on need. If necessary, the McLeod County Emergency Management Director will convene the committee to meet on a more regular basis to monitor plan implementation progress and reassess needs and opportunities. This could be done in response to funding cycles of programs that provide resources for hazard mitigation activities. If there is a need for a special meeting due to new developments or a declared disaster occurring in the county, the committee will meet to update pertinent mitigation strategies. Depending on McLeod County opportunities and fiscal resources, mitigation projects may be implemented independently by individual communities or through local partnerships. The committee will continue to review the MHMP goals and objectives to determine their relevance to changing situations in McLeod County. In addition, state and federal policies will be reviewed to ensure they are addressing current and expected conditions. The committee will also review the risk assessment portion of the plan to determine if this information should be updated or modified. The parties responsible for the various implementation actions will report on the status of their projects, and will include which implementation processes worked well, any difficulties encountered, how coordination efforts are proceeding, and which strategies should be revised. Updates or modifications to the MHMP during the five-year planning process will require a public notice and a meeting prior to submitting revisions to the individual jurisdictions for approval. The plan will be updated via written changes, submissions as the committee deems appropriate and necessary, and as approved by county commissioners. Throughout the five-year window of the plan, each respective county department and jurisdiction will be required to report on the status of mitigation actions in their charts to the McLeod County Emergency Management Director so that progress notes may be maintained for the next plan update. 1171 Page 7.2 Implementation McLeod County and its included municipalities share a common Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan and work together closely to develop, revise, and implement it. This MHMP provides a comprehensive chart of mitigation actions for McLeod County and its jurisdictions (see Section 6.3). The cities of Biscay, Brownton, Glencoe, Hutchinson, Lester Prairie, Plato, Silver Lake, Stewart, and Winsted participated in the MHMP planning process and identified the specific mitigation strategies that they would seek to implement in their communities during the 5-year planning cycle. These mitigation actions are provided in Appendix J. A number of implementation tools are available to address hazards. Many of these tools are below, however, in some cases additional discussion is needed in order to identify what strategies are most appropriate to use. This will be part of an ongoing discussion as McLeod County looks for opportunities for plan implementation. The following tools will be considered: Education: In many cases, education of residents has been identified as one of the most effective mitigation strategies. Capital Investments: Capital investments such as fire and ambulance equipment, sprinkler systems and dry hydrants are tools that can limit risks and impacts of natural and man-made hazards. Data Collection and Needs Assessments: Data collection and needs assessments can aid in gaining a better understanding of threats and allow planning for mitigation strategies accordingly. As resources are limited for this part of the planning process, additional data collection is likely to be an ongoing activity as resources become available. Coordination: Responsibilities for mitigation strategies run across various county departments, local fire and ambulance departments, city and township governments, and a host of state and federal agencies. Ongoing coordination is an important tool to ensure resources are used efficiently. Coordination can also avoid duplication of efforts or prevent gaps that are created because of unclear roles and responsibilities. The mitigation plan review process can function as a tool to have an ongoing discussion of roles, responsibilities, and opportunities for coordination. Regional Cooperation: Counties and public safety services providers throughout the region often share similar challenges and concerns. In some cases, a regional approach may be warranted as a mitigation strategy in order to save resources. Organizations such as FEMA Region V and the MN Department of HSEM through the Regional Program Coordinator can offer tools and resources to assist in these cooperative efforts. Regulation: Regulation is an important mitigation tool for McLeod County. Regulation plays a particularly important role for land use, access to structures and the protection of water resources and public health. 7.3 Continued Public Involvement Continued public involvement is critical to the successful implementation of the Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP). The McLeod County Emergency Management Director and the McLeod 118 1 Page County City Emergency Management Directors will continue to engage new public stakeholders in planning discussions and project implementation during the five-year cycle of this plan. In order to seek continued public participation after the plan has been approved and during the 5-year window of implementation for this plan, McLeod County will take the following measures: The plan will be posted on the McLeod County website for the public to read and provide feedback. Collected feedback will be reviewed during the five-year plan cycle and will be noted for future update of the plan or addressed as necessary. Following any major storms or natural disasters, McLeod County Emergency Management will seek to gather concerns and new ideas for mitigation from local residents to include in the next update of the plan. This may be done through public meetings, outreach via social media (i.e., Sheriffs Office Facebook Page), or news releases via local media. Each community participating in the plan will be responsible to keep their local government, schools and community members updated and engaged in the implementation of their respective mitigation action charts (see Appendix J). Each respective jurisdiction will be required to report on the status of mitigation actions in their charts to the McLeod County Emergency Management Director. Jurisdictions will use numerous means of public outreach to engage new public stakeholders in providing input on mitigation efforts or concerns on hazards by sharing information at city council / township board meetings, sharing information at special events, working with local schools and partner organizations, and posting information on relevant local or social media that their communities use to inform and engage the public. As mitigation projects are implemented, jurisdictions will work to keep the public updated and engaged in those local efforts. 119 1 Page APPENDICES Appendix A — References Appendix B — Adopting Resolutions Appendix C — Local Mitigation Survey Report Appendix E — Past Mitigation Action Review Status Report Appendix F — Planning Team Meetings Appendix G — Public Outreach & Engagement Documentation Appendix H — Minnesota Department of Health Climate & Health Report Appendix I — Critical Infrastructure Appendix J — Mitigation Actions by Jurisdiction Appendix A - References References Adams, R.

Hazard Identification & Risk Prioritization: Please fill out the following chart, indicating the natural hazards that pose risk to your community, your priority level of those hazards and if the priority of those hazards has changed over the last 5 years or since the last plan. Natural Hazard History Mark "X" for hazard events that have occurred within your jurisdiction. Risk Prioritization Indicate the priority level of this hazard in your jurisdiction using HIGH, MODERATE or LOW. Consider the anticipated likelihood of future events and the potential impacts to life safety, structures, systems, vulnerable populations or other community assets. Change in Risk Note if you feel the risk of this hazard is INCREASING, DECREASING, or has had NO CHANGE in your jurisdiction. You may add comments if needed. Blizzards X Moderate No Chance Ice Storms X Moderate No Change Tornadoes X High Increasing Windstorms X High Increasing Lightning X Low No Change Hail X Moderate No Change Flooding X High No Change Extreme Cold X Moderate No Change Extreme Heat X Moderate No Change Drought X Low to Moderate Decreasing Wildfire Low No Change Landslides Low No Change Dam Failure Low No Change 2. Recent Hazard Events: Please describe any severe weather or disaster events that have occurred over the last 5 years that caused damages or loss of life in your community. From 2015 to 2020 McLeod County has had a total of 69 severe weather watches and warnings for summertime hazards. Below are some of the highlights from those storms: - In June 2017, we had a severe thunderstorm with strong winds that led to several power outages and damages across the county. This was when several campers were leaving the Winstock Country Music Festival. We declared a local state of emergency, but did not have enough damages to qualify for state/federal assistance. - In April 2o18, McLeod County was in a blizzard warning and had a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) sent out via the county IPAWS system. - We had a total Of confirmed tornadoes in August 2017, July 2o1g, and August zozo. - In spring, zosg there was a federal disaster declaration due to spring snow melt/flood. Page 2 of 40 Local Vulnerabilities: Please use the chart below to identify what specific critical infrastructure (i.e., structures or systems), populations, or other assets in your community are suspectable to damage and loss from specific hazard events. Natural Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (please list) List & describe what specific structures, systems, populations, or other community assets are sus ectable to damage and loss from specific hazard events. Windstorms/Tornadoes McLeod County has 6 county parks, including z with overnight camping. There are not adequate storm shelters in any of these parks. Extreme Heat There are several homes, businesses, and other gathering areas that do not have air conditioning available. This could lead to heat emergencies in a lot of our population should they not have air conditioning or if there is power failure. Extreme Cold We have seniors & children are vulnerable to extreme cold, especially if the power goes down during storm events. Ice Storms & Blizzards We have powerlines and power poles that have failed or mayfail due to heavy snow and ice storms. 4. Reduction in Vulnerability - Please describe any particular actions your community has taken to reduce vulnerability against future severe weather or disaster events. This can include examples of any work that has been completed or is underway that you would consider mitigation, such as developing plans or implementing projects to deal with future heavy rainfall. McLeod County Public Works has upgraded several culverts over the last several years. We have encouraged local residents and businesses sign up for CodeRED and the CodeRED Weather Warning to get emergency notifications. Several agencies in the county have used social media outlets to relay information to the citizens. 5. Increase in Vulnerability— Please describe any current conditions or changes that you feel has increased your community's vulnerability to future severe weather or disaster events. Please include anything related to population growth, zoning or development. We have not seen any increase in vulnerabilities in the rural areas in the county. PART B: LOCAL MITIGATION CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENT i. Plans, Authorities & Policies: Please describe what specific plans, authorities or policies are in place to help accomplish mitigation in your community. McLeod County has a comprehensive/master plan in place and capital improvements plan (Public Works Construction Plan) that plan for future development within the county. McLeod County Public Works Department maintains an inventory of the condition of county roads and bridges and slates improvement projects as needed on an annual basis. A transportation plan is in place (2020-2024) Page 3 of 40 McLeod County Emergency Management has an Emergency Operations Plan that is updated on a regular basis which helps the county be ready to respond to disasters across a range of emergency management functions. This includes plans in place for sheltering and pet sheltering in the event that people are displaced from their homes following a disaster. The McLeod County Health & Humans Services (Public Health) Department has delegated the responsibility of working with the owners of manufactured home parks (MHP's) within the county to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). MDH completes annual or bi-annual inspections to ensure that they are meeting MDH requirements for storm shelters and evacuation plans. McLeod County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The McLeod County Comprehensive Local Water Plan was developed to supplement drainage projects with methods aimed at reducing peak flows and erosion, trapping sediment, reducing nutrient loading, and improving water quality throughout the watershed districts located in McLeod County. The plan includes practices that can be incorporated by individual landowners that can contribute towards higher water quality through erosion control, soil stability, and nutrient management. The McLeod County Public Works Department has a snow removal policy. McLeod County Environmental Services (Planning and Zoning) Department has an ordinance in place that states the setback for construction by bluff areas is 30 feet and an increased setback can be imposed if construction is near an actively eroding bluff. 2. Organizational Capacity: Please describe what staff or partnerships are in place to help accomplish mitigation in your community. McLeod County staff related to mitigation efforts include the emergency management director, building maintenance, public works maintenance superintendent, drainage systems manager, GIS director, health & human services (public health), and the SWCD district manager. We partner with the American Red Cross to establish MOU's with facilities in the county to serve as official shelter locations that meet ARC shelter requirements for space and accessibility. The McLeod County Soil and Water Conservation District, Buffalo Creek Watershed District, and the High Island Watershed District are located within McLeod County and oversee regional planning and project efforts related to projects within the watershed that reduce the impacts of high rain events and resulting localized flooding and erosion. We have close working relationships with emergency managers in MN HSEM Region 5 and support each other in emergency mitigation and preparedness planning, exercises, and emergency response when needed. Page 4 of 40 Programs: Please describe any programs in place that to help accomplish mitigation in your community. McLeod County Emergency Management participates in and promotes the NWS Severe Weather Awareness Weeks in spring and fall each year and also works with the NWS to provide SKYWARN storm spottertraining on an annual basis. McLeod County Emergency Management promotes the use of NOAA weather radios by schools, long-term care facilities, county buildings, local residents, and visitors to receive information broadcast from the National Weather Service. We promote use of these radios in advance of and during our severe weather months using our McLeod County social media outlets and during the NWS severe weather awareness weeks. McLeod County Emergency Management utilizes our emergency management website; McLeod County Sheriffs Office and McLeod County Facebook pages; and local news media to communicate with residents and visitors on emergency preparedness. A link for the CodeRED emergency notification system is located on the homepage of the McLeod County website. McLeod County Emergency Management participates in regional emergency management exercises for Region 5. 4. Funding: Please describe any agency partnerships, funding or other resources to help accomplish mitigation in your community. McLeod County SWCD has secured funding from different sources for various projects that they have worked on in the recent past. Most of the county projects are paid through by county budgets. The McLeod County Public Works Department gets partial funding from state and federal partners for authorized projects. 5. Other Questions: - Does your jurisdiction have any plans or policies in place (or in development) related to resilience and adaptation for climate change? No plans exist. - Who is your local municipal or rural electric coop provider? McLeod Coop Power Association; Xcel Energy; Hutchinson Utilities Commission; and Glencoe Light & Power Commission. - How do you encourage residents to sign up for emergency notifications?

Generator back-up power is in place for the McLeod County EOC in the courthouse, law enforcement center, & Hutchinson Area Transportation Services (HATS) building in the city of Hutchinson that houses city, county, and state public works. There will also be back up power at the McLeod County Government Center in Glencoe (opens January 2021). PART C: LOCAL MITIGATION PROJECTS i. Local Mitigation Projects: Please describe any specific mitigation activities you think would help to address local vulnerabilities and reduce risk against future hazard events in your community. Identify where generator back-up power is needed for McLeod County critical facilities and shelter facilities and acquire backup power (i.e., permanent or portable generators) Continue to promote residents to be prepared for emergencies, to have NOAA weather radios, and to sign up for the county's CodeRED system and Sheriff's Office Facebook page to receive emergency notifications and other information. Work with municipalities / rural electric coops to encourage them to address burying powerlines or strengthening power poles to avoid power outages from high wind events and storms. Address construction of storm shelters or tornado safe rooms in areas where there are vulnerable populations such as at municipal and county campgrounds, mobile home parks, and schools. Encourage long-term care facilities that house senior citizens or other vulnerable populations to have emergency plans and generators in place to deal with severe weather, power outages, and extreme temperatures Address road improvements, ditch maintenance, and bank stabilization projects needed to mitigate against high rain events as identified by the McLeod County public works director and feedback from townships and the McLeod County SWCD. Provide support to cities to update stormwater management plans and identify where critical public infrastructure needs to be protected for future high rain events. Provide support to communities to identify where storm shelters or tornado safe rooms are needed and assist in applying for grant funding (i.e., USDA, FEMA HMA) Review list of Past Mitigation Actions from our last plan and update those actions deemed as 'ongoing"for continued implementation. Page 6 of 40 Gaps or Deficiencies: Please describe any specific gaps or deficiencies that are a barrier to implementing local mitigation measures. The cities of Biscay and Stewart do not participate in the NFIP; however, they may have a reason for not participating. Controlling runoff from various sources continues to be a challenge and priority to control what runs downstream. Some roads, bridges, and culverts within McLeod County continue to need improvements as they are impacted by annual high rain events. The county needs funding assistance to improve roads and culverts that experience repetitive flooding. Continued culvert replacement to prevent road flooding is a strain on our smaller townships that have limited funding for road infrastructure. Continued efforts are needed to stabilize vulnerable shoreline that is eroding due to high rain events and wave action.

Recent Hazard Events: Please describe any severe weather or disaster events that have occurred over the last 5 years that caused damages or loss of life in your community. In 2oi8 we had a windstorm come through that knocked down quite a few trees, causing trees and branches to fall on overhead power lines and cause outages. In June, 2019 there were strong winds that came through and took some trees out, also causing electrical outages. In August zozo, an Ez tornado passedjust north of Brownton, causing significant damage to crops, trees, and outbuildings on local farm sites. While the city has had no tornados in recent history, it could easily find itself in the path of a tornado. Page 11 of 40 Local Vulnerabilities: Please use the chart below to identify what specific critical infrastructure (i.e., structures or systems), populations, or other assets in your community are susceptible to damage and loss from specific hazard events. Natural Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (please list) List & describe what specific structures, systems, populations, or other community assets are sus ectable to damage and loss from specific hazard events. Flooding One of our sanitary sewer lift stations, located at the intersection of Division Street and ist Ave S, is prone to flooding from Lake Addie. City and fire department personnel have sandbagged the area in the past to prevent flooding into the lift station. Also, along ist Ave S are several homes, an electrical substation, and a county highway shop that are prone to flooding from Lake Addie. The northwest quadrant of the city also has seen significant flooding from the Buffalo Creek, and creek water has infiltrated our storm sewers stem. Ice Storms, Blizzards Much of the city's municipal electrical service consists of overhead power lines and electrical poles. Some of CenturyLink's phone service is also overhead. Those overhead lines and power poles are prone to failure in ice storms and blizzards with heavy snowfall and high winds. Windstorms and Although the city has no formal trailer park, there are trailer homes scattered Tornadoes throughout the community as well as prefabricated homes built on slabs with no basement for shelter. Nearly all buildings within the community are prone to damage from falling trees and limbs created by tornadoes and windstorms. Structures located at our baseball park are also particularly susceptible to damage as they are in an open area with no shelter belts. Extreme Cold We have seniors & children who are vulnerable to extreme cold, especially if the power goes down due to bad weather. While most homes are served with furnaces that use fossil fuels such as fuel oil, natural gas and LP, nearly all furnaces are powered by electricity and susceptible to failure if the electrical power goes out. In addition, many of our senior citizen facilities rely entirely on electrical heat with no back-up power in the event of an outage. 4. Reduction in Vulnerability - Please describe any particular actions your community has taken to reduce vulnerability against future severe weather or disaster events. This can include examples of any work that has been completed or is underway that you would consider mitigation, such as developing plans or implementing projects to deal with future heavy rainfall. In 2020 we completed projects to improve our storm water, sewer and improving our lift stations. These improvements also included backup generators for both lift stations. We have purchased a backup generator for the fire department and city pump house as backup for power outages as well. We continue to work on moving existing overhead power lines to underground and eliminating power poles where feasible. We have also developed a city Facebook page and upgraded our website to provide more information to the public. Page 12 of 40 5. Increase in Vulnerability— Please describe any current conditions or changes that you feel has increased your community's vulnerability to future severe weather or disaster events. Please include anything related to population growth, zoning or development. In October 2020, construction began on a new Dollar General store on 5th Ave S (Plum Avenue) near Highway 212. This building may be especially vulnerable to wind and tornado damage as there are currently no windbreaks in the area as it was developed from open farmland. PART B: LOCAL MITIGATION CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENT i. Plans, Authorities & Policies: Please describe what specific plans, authorities or policies are in place to help accomplish mitigation in your community. Our city has a comprehensive plan that is designed to plan for future physical growth of the community and appropriate land uses. Our city has an emergency management plan to relocate victims of severe weather to our community center, civic center or other municipal buildings for short-term shelter. It also has a plan in place to relocate vulnerable adults from a local assisted living facility to municipal facilities for short-term shelter. 2. Organizational Capacity: Please describe what staff or partnerships are in place to help accomplish mitigation in your community. One of our assistant fire chiefs/city council members is our emergency management director. Our city engineer and public works supervisor assists with road maintenance issues for flooding. We have our own municipal utility that is responsible for preparing and handling power outages. We have also purchased a backup generator to be used for the fire department and city pump house in case of power outages. 3. Programs: Please describe any programs in place that to help accomplish mitigation in your community. The city takes part in the county's emergency alert system. We participate in the National Weather Service's annual Severe Winter/Spring Weather Awareness Week and will be posting those on our website and Facebook pages. 4. Funding: Please describe any agency partnerships, funding or other resources to help accomplish mitigation in your community. The city uses mostly our own funding to address local mitigation issues. The city has been in contact with the McLeod SWCD for direction on some erosion areas we have. The city has also received reimbursement in the past for flooding events from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Page 13 of 40 5. Other Questions: - Does your jurisdiction have any plans or policies in place (or in development) related to resilience and adaptation for climate change? No - Who is your local municipal or rural electric coop provider? Brownton Municipal Electric - How do you encourage residents to sign up for emergency notifications? We encourage residents to sign up for McLeod County's CodeRed notification service using our city Facebook page. - Do you have (or need) portable or permanent back-up generators for specific critical facilities? We have backups available for use. We also participate in a municipal sharing cooperative that allows us to ask for help under a mutual aid agreement with other Cities in the State of Minnesota. PART C: LOCAL MITIGATION PROJECTS i. Local Mitigation Projects: Please describe any specific mitigation activities you think would help to address local vulnerabilities and reduce risk against future hazard events in your community. The city would like to buy out a couple of homes on 3rd St N that runs parallel to Buffalo Creek where erosion has started. The city also would like to build a permanent levee or berm to protect its lift station on ist Ave S, as well as one to protect an electrical substation on ist Avenue South. Public education is always an effort that could use more attention. We can use the city website and city Facebook page to encourage residents to sign up for the county's emergency notification system and to be prepared for severe weather and power outages. 2. Gaps or Deficiencies: Please describe any specific gaps or deficiencies that are a barrier to implementing local mitigation measures. The city needs significant funding assistance to buy out residential properties that are on the bank of the Buffalo Creek where erosion has started. Because the city has maximized its bonding capacity with recent infrastructure improvements to address storm water and inflow and infiltration issues, we would also need funding assistance to create permanent berms or levees to protect critical infrastructure.

Recent Hazard Events: Please describe any severe weather or disaster events that have occurred over the last 5 years that caused damages or loss of life in your community. In the last 5 years, the city of Hutchinson has had multiple hail and high wind events as well as intense rain events over the same period of time. In 2oi6, we experienced tennis ball size hail. In 2oi7, a city -owned aquatic center and pool that was under construction "floated" due to an intense rain event. Also, in 2017 the city experienced a sanitary sewer overflow due to inundation of the sewer caused by heavy rainfall. Multiple high wind events have caused damage to trees and property. Local Vulnerabilities: Please use the chart below to identify what specific critical infrastructure (i.e., structures or systems), populations, or other assets in your community are suspectable to damage and loss from specific hazard events. Natural Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (please list) List & describe what specific structures, systems, populations, or other community assets are suspectable to damage and loss from specific hazard events. Flooding A portion of the downtown area of the city is protected by an uncertified levy that was constructed in 196S. Any sanitary and wastewater infrastructure that are located in the ioo-yearfloodplain are susceptible to flooding as well as any structures in the same areas. Page 19 of 40 Windstorms and One of the 3 mobile home parks in the city is without a designated storm tornadoes shelter which leaves the residents vulnerable to high wind events. Also, the county fairgrounds are located within the city and hosts several large events throughout the year. There is not a designated storm shelter on site which leaves the public vulnerable. Extreme Cold Some of the city's infrastructure is susceptible to severe cold. The result is frost heaves to roadways as well as frozen water services. 4. Reduction in Vulnerability - Please describe any particular actions your community has taken to reduce vulnerability against future severe weather or disaster events. This can include examples of any work that has been completed or is underway that you would consider mitigation, such as developing plans or implementing projects to deal with future heavy rainfall. In 2020 the city worked on rebuilding storm water lines and constructed a large stormwater retention pond in the southwest part of town to prevent flooding in that area. In zozo the city also installed all new infrastructure in the downtown area which included all new storm water lines and catch basins. Over the years Hutchinson Utilities has installed all power lines underground to reduce their vulnerability to wind events and ice storms. Other flood mitigation strategies the city has completed are a property buyout in the floodplain of the Crow River in conjunction with FEMA, removal of an old railroad trestle near 3M which had the potential to cause flooding, and removal of an old mill dam and replaced with a fish ladder that also reduces the vulnerability of flooding. 5. Increase in Vulnerability— Please describe any current conditions or changes that you feel has increased your community's vulnerability to future severe weather or disaster events. Please include anything related to population growth, zoning or development. Over the course of the last five years there have been multiple multi -family dwellings built throughout the community as well as several assisted living facilities. In high wind and tornado events this increases the city's vulnerability as these structures typically do not have basements in which to seek shelter. We have also experienced increased housing for the elderly which requires assistance in evacuation. In addition, over the last five years the city has experienced an increase in high volume rain events. PART B: LOCAL MITIGATION CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENT Plans, Authorities & Policies: Please describe what specific plans, authorities or policies are in place to help accomplish mitigation in your community. Our city has a zo-year comprehensive plan that was completed in 2013. It is designed to plan for the future physical growth of the city and appropriate land uses. The city participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and we have a floodplain ordinance in place. We have a zoning ordinance that deals with flood plain development Page 20 of 40 We have a 5-year capital improvement plan (2020-2025) that identifies and schedules new development and road improvement projects to reduce over -the -road repetitive flooding. We have a shoreland ordinance that guides development near shore lands which assists in limiting exposure to floods and erosion. Our city provides information to new residents on how to sign up for emergency notifications. The city also has an emergency plan that we keep updated. 2. Organizational Capacity: Please describe what staff or partnerships are in place to help accomplish mitigation in your community. Our police chief is the city's designated emergency manager. Our city council includes a public safety committee. The city has its own GIS Specialist and an I.T. director. We have a city engineer/ public works directorthat address road maintenance issues forflooding (culverts, repetitive flooding). We have our own municipal utility that is responsible for mitigating against power outages. We have worked with the MN DNR Forestry Department to implement wildfire mitigation measures to reduce risk of fire in wooded areas. Programs: Please describe any programs in place that to help accomplish mitigation in your community. The city participates in the county's emergency alert system and we promote residents to sign up. The city also has its own emergency alert system called Everbridge. Our city participates in the National Weather Service's annual Severe Winter/Spring Weather Awareness Week by posting severe weather awareness information out on our city Facebook page. Our local school practices tornado drills on an annual basis. Each fall we do active outreach to homeowners to clear leafy and woody debris from roadside gutters to prevent clogging and over the road flooding in these areas. 4. Funding: Please describe any agency partnerships, funding or other resources to help accomplish mitigation in your community. The city primarily uses its own budget to address local mitigation efforts, such as creating storm water retention ponds and rebuilding storm water infrastructure. In the past the city has formed partnerships with the MN DNRto reconstructthe dam on the Crow River. We have obtained grants from FEMA to complete flood mitigation efforts by buying and removing homes from the floodplain. Most recently, the city has partnered with Mn DOT to mitigate flood vulnerabilities in the downtown area by removing old infrastructure and replacing with new storm water infrastructure. Page 21 of 40 5. Other Questions: - Does your jurisdiction have any plans or policies in place (or in development) related to resilience and adaptation for climate change? None - Who is your local municipal or rural electric coop provider? Hutchinson Utilities - How do you encourage residents to sign up for emergency notifications? We use our city website and Facebook, as well as local media to direct people to the county website to sign up. - Do you have (or need) portable or permanent back-up generators for specific critical facilities? We need permanent generator at our city Center where the city's IT servers are located. PART C: LOCAL MITIGATION PROJECTS i. Local Mitigation Projects: Please describe any specific mitigation activities you think would help to address local vulnerabilities and reduce risk against future hazard events in your community. Homes along Glen St NW near the Crow River are susceptible to flooding. The city would like to purchase the homes and remove them from the area. The city also has a need for storm shelters at some of our larger parks and also the fairgrounds. We also have one mobile home park that needs a storm shelter. The city has a need for a permanent generator at our city Center where the city's IT servers are located. 2. Gaps or Deficiencies: Please describe any specific gaps or deficiencies that are a barrier to implementing local mitigation measures.

Natural Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (please list) List & describe what specific structures, systems, populations, or other community assets are suspectable to damage and loss from specific hazard events. Flooding Our city wastewater treatment plant is vulnerable to failure during flood events if the power goes down or the lift station is flooded. We have homes that will fill with sewage if the residents on Hi -Mae Circle and Pine St. N. have water overflow the banks of the creek and flow into the sanitary sewer system. Page 23 of 40 Ice Storms, Blizzards We have power lines and power poles that have failed or may fail due to heavy snow and ice storms. We only have one portable generator to use at lift stations and the Emergency Operations Center. Windstorms and We have one mobile home park (900 2nd Ave. S.), our major city park and a Tornadoes new municipal campground (Sunrise Nature Park) without storm shelters where residents are vulnerable to high wind ortornado events. Extreme Cold We have a large senior population and a "stand alone" school with children that are vulnerable to extreme cold especially if the power goes down during storm events. 4. Reduction in Vulnerability - Please describe any particular actions your community has taken to reduce vulnerability against future severe weather or disaster events. This can include examples of any work that has been completed or is underway that you would consider mitigation, such as developing plans or implementing projects to deal with future heavy rainfall. In 2020, the city completed a street reconstruction project which included adding more storm sewers and catch basins. In the last five years the city has excavated and removed up to 18 inches of accumulated sediment and vegetation from 1,800 linear feet of Otter Creek. This is a continual process and will to help ensure the long-term success of the project and reduce future maintenance expenses. The MN DNR recommends establishing, or maintaining, a minimum 1-rod (161/2 feet) wide grassed buffer strip along both sides of the channel. Such buffer strips help improve water quality by filtering the excess sediment and nutrients often associated with stormwater runoff. This would reduce the flooding risks in the Hi -Mae addition. 5. Increase in Vulnerability— Please describe any current conditions or changes that you feel has increased your community's vulnerability to future severe weather or disaster events. Please include anything related to population growth, zoning or development. We have added additional homes and have purchased another 68.66 acres for more growth. The Lester Prairie Public School made a substantial expansion (2020-2021) which will affect Otter Creek because a decrease of pervious surface and increase in runoff. We have had steady housing permits issued over the last several years. Over the last five years there has been an increase in snow and ice storms which creates an increase in flooding. PART B: LOCAL MITIGATION CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENT Plans, Authorities & Policies: Please describe what specific plans, authorities or policies are in place to help accomplish mitigation in your community. The city of Lester Prairie has worked with engineering firm Bolten and Menk on a floodplain management and response plan. We have a capital improvements plan that identifies how street and infrastructure under the streets can have an impact on flooding and drainage. Page 24 of 40 The city has also tried to work with the trailer court owner on improvements with the tornado shelter, but, only minimal improvements have been made. We have also been working on improving our outdoor warning sirens to better cover areas that are weak with sound.

The purpose of the meeting was to formally present information about the McLeod County MHMP update and to discuss key items that would inform plan development. The meeting was held via Zoom webinar video conference and was facilitated by Stacey Stark and Bonnie Hundrieser of the U-Spatial@UMD project team. Stakeholder Invitations: McLeod County Emergency Management invited all stakeholders included on the county's MHMP Update Jurisdictional Contact List (JCL), which includes the key County Contacts, City Contacts, Township Contacts, Other Stakeholder Contacts, and Neighboring Jurisdiction Contacts identified to be invited to participate in the plan update process. Contacts were encouraged to engage additional staff or to send someone in their stead if they could not attend. A copy of the county's Jurisdictional Contact List is provided in Appendix FSteering Committee Meetings. Meeting Participants: A total of 25 people attended the meeting. Representation included elected officials and departmental staff from McLeod County and all 9 cities covered by the county plan: Biscay, Brownton, Glencoe, Hutchinson, Lester Prairie, Plato, Silver Lake, Stewart, and Winsted. Other stakeholders, including neighboring jurisdictions, participated in the meeting. A participant list is included with this meeting summary. Presentation Overview: The Power Point presentation covered the following items. A PDF of the presentation slides is included with this meeting summary. ➢ Overview of Hazard Mitigation & the MHMP Update ➢ Who the Plan Covers & Role of the Planning Team ➢ Review of Hazards + Overview of Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis ➢ Update of Risk Priorities ➢ Review of Mitigation Strategies & Example Actions ➢ Overview of FEMA HMA grant program ➢ Discussion of local mitigation ideas ➢ Discussion of next steps & answer your questions. Participant Poll: At the start of the meeting participants were presented with an interactive poll asking 2 questions. Following are the questions and poll results. Question 1: Have you participated in Hazard Mitigation previously? • Yes, I have previously participated in in a hazard mitigation planning process. (7) 33% • No, but I am familiar with hazard mitigation planning. (5) 24% • No, and this is all new to me. (9) 43% Question 2: What are the top three natural hazards you are most concerned about in your community? • Tornado: (17/21) 81% • Flood: (14/21) 67% • Windstorms: (11/21) 52% • Winter Storms: (7/21) 33% • Extreme Cold: (4/21) 19% • Hail: (2/21) 10% • Landslide: (0/21) 0% • Extreme Heat: (0/21) 0% • Drought: (0/21) 0% • Lightning: (0/21) 0% Prioritization of Natural Hazards: The planning team was presented with an overview of each of the natural hazards that were covered in the county's last plan and the risk prioritization at that time. Considerations for the current risk prioritization since the last plan was presented for each hazard, such as events recorded since the last plan, NCEI Storm Data, or known existing local vulnerabilities (i.e., number of mobile home parks). It was noted to participants that: Hazards deemed to be of high or moderate risk must result in mitigation actions to address them for the jurisdictions that are affected. Hazard prioritization may vary for jurisdictions or may not differ countywide. Hazards deemed to be low risk and without significant mitigation actions may be dropped from the plan. This excludes the hazard of Dam/Levee failure, which must be addressed per new FEMA guidelines, even if risk is deemed low. Following is a chart reflecting the 2015 risk priorities for McLeod County and any changes to the current risk prioritization for the plan update. This discussion served as an introduction to updating the risk prioritization and will be followed up with further information gathered from the county and local jurisdictions during the planning process. Any changes to the risk prioritizations will be noted under "2020 Current Priority". Natural Hazards Addressed in the Last Plan 2015 Priority 2020 Current Priority Tornadoes High High Flooding High High Windstorms High High Hail Low Moderate -There have been 10 significant hailstorms since 2015. _ -3.6 storms per year. Winter Storms Moderate Moderate Extreme Cold Moderate Moderate Extreme Heat Moderate Moderate Landslides Moderate Moderate Drought Moderate Low to Moderate Will keep in the plan Lighting Low Low Wildland Fire Low Low Comments, Questions or Mitigation Ideas — Following are the questions, comments or mitigation ideas that were shared by participants and how they will be addressed for the plan update.

Following the discussion, participants were encouraged to fill out and return the "Mitigation Ideas" worksheet that they were provided with to McLeod County Emergency Management to submit any specific local concerns and related mitigation ideas. The meeting concluded with an overview of next steps and estimated timeline for completion. Exit Survey: Following the Zoom meeting, participants were provided with a short survey they were invited to fill out before upon their departure in order to gather some final feedback. 1. Please leave any comments you have about including/not including the following low to moderate risk hazards: hail, lightning, wildfire, erosion, drought and whether they should be included in the plan. o I think having hail in the plan is a good idea. o Wildfire should be included due to the number of acres of public and private conservation lands of which a number are open to the public. 2.

You are requested to participate in this vital meeting because you have a position of administrative or departmental responsibility within either the County, a municipal government, or are a key stakeholder related to the planning process. Emergency Managers from neighboring jurisdictions are also encouraged to attend so we may strengthen our shared mitigation efforts. We will be holding the meeting using Zoom webinar: Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2020 Time: 9:00 a.m. —11:00 a.m. Registration: https:,[/umn-private.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN seWOjYzeR206zgUua fie Please note that you must register in advance for this webinar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. RSVP: Please email me to RSVP for all persons planning to attend this meeting so I may keep track. (This is separate from the Zoom registration link). About the Plan The update of the McLeod County Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) is a requirement by the State of Minnesota Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HSEM) as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) every 5 years. Our last plan is due for an update and our planning is currently underway. The plan addresses the natural hazards that face McLeod County and will result in the identification of mitigation actions that will help to reduce or eliminate the impact of future hazard events, such as flooding and severe winter or summer storms. Your participation in this plan update is important for several reasons: 1. You will help to identify critical mitigation projects to implement at the county / municipal level, and how they can be integrated with existing plans, policies, or project efforts. 2. Participating jurisdictions will be eligible to apply for FEMA hazard mitigation grant funding. 3. Mitigation planning is necessary to keep our communities resilient against future disasters and reduce the costs of recovery. 4. FEMA requires documentation of how local government and key stakeholders participated in the planning process. During this meeting we will review and prioritize the natural hazards that pose risk McLeod County and individual communities and discuss a range of mitigation measures for local implementation. The meeting will be facilitated by personnel from U-Spatial at the University of MN Duluth who are working closely with us on this project. We look forward to you joining us for this important meeting. Thank you!

Minnesota HSEM recommends the use of these mitigation strategies to be in alignment with the State plan and those recommended by FEMA. The first four strategies listed are taken from the FEMA publications Local Mitigation Planning Handbook (2013) and Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for Reducing Risk to Natural Hazards (2013). The fifth strategy type was determined by Minnesota HSEM for use within the state. These strategies will provide the framework for identification of new jurisdictionaI-level mitigation actions for implementation over the next 5-year planning cycle. These actions include government Local Planning authorities, policies, or codes that influence and Regulations the way land and buildings are developed and built. These actions involve modifying existing structures and infrastructure to protect them from a hazard or remove them from a Structure and hazard area. This could apply to public or Infrastructure private structures as well as critical facilities Projects and infrastructure. This type of action also involves projects to construct manmade structures to reduce the impact of hazards. • Comprehensive plans • Land use ordinances • Planning and zoning • Building codes and enforcement • Floodplain ordinances • NFIP Community Rating System • Capital improvement programs • Open space preservation • Shoreline codes • Stormwater management regulations and master plans • Mobile home park compliance for storm shelters • Property Acquisitions and elevations of structures in flood prone areas • Utility undergrounding • Structural retrofits (i.e., metal roofs) • Floodwalls and retaining walls • Detention and retention structures • Culvert Installation/Modification • Roads & Bridge risk reduction • Safe Room (New construction or facility retrofit) • Green Infrastructure Methods Many of these types of actions are projects eligible for funding through FEMA HMA grant programs. Natural These are actions that minimize damage Systems and losses and also preserve or restore the Protection functions of natural systems. These are actions to inform and educate citizens, elected officials, and property owners about hazards and potential ways to mitigate them. These actions may also include participation in national programs, such as StormReady or Firewise Education and Communities. Although this type of Awareness mitigation reduces risk less directly than Programs structural projects or regulation, it is an important foundation. A greater understanding and awareness of hazards and risk among local officials, stakeholders, and the public is more likely to lead to direct actions that support life safety and lessen property damage. This is a State of Minnesota mitigation strategy with the intent of covering Mitigation emergency preparedness actions that Preparedness protect life and property prior to, during, and Response and immediately after a disaster or Support hazard event. These activities are typically not considered mitigation, but support reduction of the effects of damaging events. • Soil stabilization for sediment and erosion control • Floodplain and Stream corridor restoration • Slope management • Forest management (defensible space, fuels reduction, sprinkler systems) • Conservation easements • Wetland restoration and preservation • Aquifer Storage & Recovery • Flood Diversion and Storage Many of these types of actions are projects eligible for funding through FEMA HMA grant programs. _ • Radio or television spots • Websites with maps and information • Social media outreach • Promotion of sign-up for emergency warnings • Real estate disclosure • Promotion of NFIP insurance to property owners • Presentations to school groups or neighborhood organizations • Mailings to residents in hazard - prone areas. • NWS StormReady Program • Firewise Communities Some of these types of actions may be projects eligible for funding through the FEMA HMA "5 Percent Initiative Program • Emergency Operations Plan • Flood fight plans and preparedness measures • Dam emergency action plans • Emergency Warning Systems (i.e., CodeRed, warning sirens) • Generator backup power • NWS Storm SpotterTraining • Training and education for local elected officials and key partners. * r State of Minnesota HSEMDivision of Homeland of Public Safety eland Security and Emergency Management Homeland Security and Emergency Management 445 Minnesota Street, Suite 223 St. Paul, MN 55101-6223 HAZARD MITIGATION ASSISTANCE Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs provide funding with the aim to reduce or eliminate risk to property and loss of life from future natural disasters. HMA programs are typically a 75%/25% cost share program. The federal share is 75% of total eligible project reimbursement costs. The local applicant is responsible for 25% of the project costs. The amount of HMGP funds availability is based on a percent of Public Assistance provided by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds assists in implementing long-term hazard mitigation measures following a Presidential major disaster declaration. • Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM) provides funds for hazard mitigation planning and projects on an annual basis. • Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) provides funds on an annual basis to reduce or eliminate risk of flood damage to buildings that are insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Who is eligible for grant funding? All applicants must have or be covered under an approved Hazard Mitigation Plan. Eligible applicants include: State and local governments; certain private non-profit organizations or institutions; and Tribal Communities What types of projects can be funded? All projects must be eligible, technically feasible, and cost-effective. All projects are subject to environmental and cultural resource review. Examples of projects include: Advance Assistance may be used to develop mitigation strategies and obtain data, including for environmental and historic preservation compliance considerations, and develop complete project applications in a timely manner. Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) projects serve primarily as a drought management tool, but can also be used to reduce flood risk and restore aquifers that have been subject to overdraft. The concept is to capture water when there is an abundant supply, store the water in subsurface aquifers, and recover water from the storage aquifer when needed. Storing water underground can help protect it from pollutants, evaporation, and weather events. Floodplain and stream restoration (FSR) projects are used primarily to reduce flood risk and erosion by providing stable reaches, and may also mitigate drought impacts. FSR projects restore and enhance the floodplain, stream channel and riparian ecosystem's natural function. They provide base flow recharge, water supply augmentation, floodwater storage, terrestrial and aquatic wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities by restoring the site's soil, hydrology and vegetation conditions that mimic pre -development channel flow and floodplain connectivity. Flood Diversion and Storage (FDS) projects often are used to reduce flood risk, but also can be used to mitigate drought and improve ecosystem services. These projects involve diverting floodwaters from a stream, river, or other body of water into a conduit such as a canal, pipe, or wetland and storing them in an above -ground storage facility. Water is then slowly released, reducing flood risk. DPS-HSEM December 2018 Green Infrastructure Methods are a sustainable approach to natural landscape preservation and storm water management. Include in eligible hazard mitigation activities as well as provide additional ecosystem benefits. Ecosystem -based approach to replicate a site's pre -development, natural hydrologic function. Benefits include: Increase water supply, improved water quality, can be scaled to size and designed to fit site conditions. • Property Acquisition and Structure Demolition or Relocation - The voluntary acquisition of an existing at -risk structure and the underlying land, and conversion of the land to open space through the demolition or relocation of the structure. The property must be deed -restricted in perpetuity to open space uses to restore and/or conserve the natural floodplain functions. • Retrofit Flood -Prone Residential Structures are changes made to an existing structure to reduce or eliminate the possibility of damage to that structure from flooding, erosion, or other hazards. Examples of this mitigation are primarily elevation of structures above flood levels and floodwalls. • Safe Room Construction - Safe room construction projects are designed to provide immediate life - safety protection for people in public and private structures from tornado and severe wind events. Includes retrofits of existing facilities or new safe room construction projects, and applies to both single and dual -use facilities • Minor Localized Flood Reduction Projects - Projects to lessen the frequency or severity of flooding and decrease predicted flood damages, such as the installation or up -sizing of culverts, and stormwater management activities, such as creating retention and detention basins. These projects must not duplicate the flood prevention activities of other Federal agencies and may not constitute a section of a larger flood control system. • Infrastructure Retrofit - Measures to reduce risk to existing utility systems, roads, and bridges. Soil Stabilization - Projects to reduce risk to structures or infrastructure from erosion and landslides, including installing geotextiles, stabilizing sod, installing vegetative buffer strips, preserving mature vegetation, decreasing slope angles, and stabilizing with rip rap and other means of slope anchoring. These projects must not duplicate the activities of other Federal agencies. New tools for Bioengineered Shoreline Stabilization, Bioengineered Streambank Stabilization. • Wildfire Mitigation - Projects to mitigate at -risk structures and associated loss of life from the threat of future wildfire through: Defensible Space for Wildfire, Application of Ignition -resistant Construction and Hazardous Fuels Reduction. New tool for Bioengineered Wildfire Mitigation. HMGP only - 5 Percent Initiative Projects - These projects, which are only available pursuant to an HMGP disaster, provide an opportunity to fund mitigation actions that are consistent with the goals and objectives of approved mitigation plans and meet all HMGP program requirements, but for which it may be difficult to conduct a standard Benefit -Cost Analysis (BCA) to prove cost-effectiveness.

Contacts were encouraged to engage additional staff or to send someone in their stead if they could not attend. A copy of the county's Jurisdictional Contact List is provided in Appendix FSteering Committee Meetings. Meeting Participants: A total of 24 people attended the meeting. Representation included departmental staff from McLeod County and the cities of Brownton, Glencoe, Hutchinson, Lester Prairie, Plato, Stewart, Silver Lake, and Winsted. The city of Biscay was not able to attend. Other stakeholders, including township officials, schools/colleges, rural electric coops, and neighboring jurisdictions participated in the meeting. A participant list is included with this meeting summary. Presentation Overview: The PowerPoint presentation covered the following items about the process and content of the plan update. A PDF of the presentation slides is included with this meeting summary. ➢ Meeting Purpose and Agenda ➢ About the Project Team ➢ Overview of Plan Update ➢ Who the Plan Covers ➢ Who Needs to Participate ➢ Prioritization of Hazards ➢ Hazards Risk Assessment (Critical Infrastructure, Population Vulnerability Factors, and Review of High/Moderate Priority Natural Hazards) ➢ Development of Mitigation Actions ➢ FEMA HMA Grant Funding ➢ Overview of Mitigation Action Charts and Discussion ➢ Discussion of Next Steps & answer your questions The opening PowerPoint presentation covered a re -cap of key points about the plan update, a review of the Risk Assessment & Vulnerability Analysis, an overview of FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant funding; an overview of how mitigation actions are developed and an overview of the jurisdictional Mitigation Action Charts (MACS). Following the presentation, participants were provided with an opportunity to review and discuss the county and local mitigation action charts. This discussion period offered a facilitated opportunity for participants to consider any changes or new additions to the MACS prior to completion of the draft plan for public review. Discussion Notes: Following is an overview of key discussion points, questions, or mitigation ideas that were shared during the presentation and how they will be incorporated into the plan update. Meeting Participant Comment, Question or Facilitator Feedback / Mitigation Ideas Plan Incorporation Tony Hausladen, Chairman (Question regarding the overview of (Facilitator: Stacey Stark) Yes that is Winsted Township hazard profiles and associated risk true, we do address each natural prioritization): Have you looked at hazard deemed of high to moderate combined events and the change in risk separately in the plan to meet risk? It looks like you are only FEMA requirements. However, in addressing hazards separately. each of those hazard profiles we also address combined events and how risk can be compounded (i.e., drought and wildfire). Tony Hausladen, Chairman (Question regarding the hazard (Facilitator: Stacey Stark) The Local Winsted Township profile overview of landslides): Why Mitigation Surveys filled out by the is the hazard of landslides listed as county and each city reflected there moderate instead of low? I have have been some landslide related only heard of one landslide, and it events. When referring to was in Wright County. And when landslides we are talking about you are talking about landslides, actual slope failure that can pose what exactly are you referring to? risk to structures or life safety. It is Are you really talking more about true that slope failure may occur the impacts of flooding? following a high rain / flooding event, however, we still address it separately as a specific natural hazard. Tony Hausladen, Chairman (Question regarding obtaining (Facilitator: Bonnie Hundrieser) Winsted Township generators for backup power as a This is a larger matter that is mitigation action under the addressed by McLeod County "Mitigation Preparedness & Emergency Management. (Kevin Response Support strategy): You Mathews, McLeod County EMD): talked about the mitigation action Yes, I have worked with several gas of communities getting generators stations on this matter as part of for critical infrastructure and our emergency response planning. facilities. But what about the larger issue of the ability to obtain gasoline to power those generators? Have you worked with the gas stations as part of this planning process to see what they plan to do about having enough fuel available during a extended power outage? Meeting Participant Comment, Question or Mitigation Ideas Facilitator Feedback / Plan Incorporation Tony Hausladen, Chairman (Question regarding burying of (Facilitator: Bonnie Hundrieser) Winsted Township powerlines as a mitigation action): For the purposes of the mitigation It seems to be that some mitigation action charts, identifying the need actions are much broader than one to bury powerlines is a way to jurisdiction, like burying powerlines support rural and electric municipal to reduce power outages. How do electrical coops to apply for FEMA you expect to address that? Who's HMA grant funding for an responsibility does this fall to? infrastructure retrofit project in the future (the next 5 years that the plan is approved) if they wish to do so. They are the formal entity that would be able to determine if converting a overhead powerlines to underground in a particular area is needed, feasible, and cost effective or if there are alternatives. Actual projects do not need to be specified in this chart as they are unknown at this time. Meeting Conclusion: The meeting concluded with an overview and timeline of the upcoming next steps of posting the plan for public review and input and submitting the draft plan to HSEM and FEMA for final review and approval. Exit Survey: Following the Zoom meeting, participants were provided with a short survey they were invited to fill out before upon their departure in order to gather some final feedback. 1.

Minnesota HSEM recommends the use of these mitigation strategies to be in alignment with the State plan and those recommended by FEMA. The first four strategies listed are taken from the FEMA publications Local Mitigation Planning Handbook (2013) and Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for Reducing Risk to Natural Hazards (2013). The fifth strategy type was determined by Minnesota HSEM for use within the state. These strategies will provide the framework for identification of new jurisdictionaI-level mitigation actions for implementation over the next 5-year planning cycle. These actions include government Local Planning authorities, policies, or codes that influence and Regulations the way land and buildings are developed and built. These actions involve modifying existing structures and infrastructure to protect them from a hazard or remove them from a Structure and hazard area. This could apply to public or Infrastructure private structures as well as critical facilities Projects and infrastructure. This type of action also involves projects to construct manmade structures to reduce the impact of hazards. • Comprehensive plans • Land use ordinances • Planning and zoning • Building codes and enforcement • Floodplain ordinances • NFIP Community Rating System • Capital improvement programs • Open space preservation • Shoreline codes • Stormwater management regulations and master plans • Mobile home park compliance for storm shelters • Property Acquisitions and elevations of structures in flood prone areas • Utility undergrounding • Structural retrofits (i.e., metal roofs) • Floodwalls and retaining walls • Detention and retention structures • Culvert Installation/Modification • Roads & Bridge risk reduction • Safe Room (New construction or facility retrofit) • Green Infrastructure Methods Many of these types of actions are projects eligible for funding through FEMA HMA grant programs.

McLeod County used the news release to gather feedback from residents and businesses from across the County to incorporate into the plan, inviting feedbackto the following: What are the natural hazards you feel pose the greatest risk to your community? Have you experienced a previous disaster event? What concerns do you have, and what sorts of mitigation actions or projects do you feel would help to reduce the damages of potential future events for your personal property, your community, or the County as a whole? The public was strongly encouraged contact McLeod County Emergency Management to submit comments, concerns, or questions regarding natural disasters and potential mitigation actions to be included into the plan update process. The public was also able to post comments electronically on county or city Facebook sites where the news release was posted. Distribution: The following news release was sent via email to the county's MHMP Jurisdictional Contact List, which includes the names, titles, phone numbers, and email addresses of key stakeholders to be engaged in the MHMP update (County Contacts, City Contacts, Township Contacts, Other Stakeholder Contacts, and Neighboring Jurisdiction Contacts). The news release was additionally sent to local media contacts such as area newspapers, radio and television channels with a request to carry the news release. Postings: The news release was shared via numerous channels to reach the public, including the McLeod County website, McLeod County Facebook, McLeod County Sheriff's Office Facebook, and local news media (newspapers and radio). Cities and townships were encouraged to help share the news release locally by posting it on their websites, social media, or community bulletin boards. Public Input & Incorporation: Following is a record of public responses to the news release and howtheir input will be incorporated into the plan update, and if not relevant to be addressed, why. McLeod County Facebook (i comment) Comment: Winsted trailer park has no storm shelter suppose to use the nursing home well that's on lock down no visitors so I'm assuming we now have no place to shelter during storms ? McLeod County Response: McLeod County Emergency Management has been in contact with the City of Winsted about the severe weather shelter issue in the manufactured home park. The City has contacted the owner of the park previously to discuss that the past shelter in St. Mary's is no longer an option due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The City did ask the owner of the park what the backup option is and did not get a reply. As you are aware, manufactured homes should not be used during times of severe weather. You will need to find a suitable structure that is strong enough to withstand extreme winds and debris. Please contact the owner of the park to get their options for shelter. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will include the project idea into the mitigation plan update. Incorporation: As part of the McLeod County MHMP update, jurisdictions will identify where tornado safe rooms should potentially be retrofit or newly constructed, such as in municipalities with mobile home parks. There will also be a strong focus on public education and awareness for how to take shelter and be safe during a severe wind storm or tornado. McLeod County Sheriffs Facebook (z comments) Comment: "Severe Storms" Comment: "Severe storms, hail, wind damage" Incorporation: Severe storms (winter/summer), hail, and wind damage are all natural hazards that the McLeod County MHMP will address in the risk assessment and development of mitigation actions.

Taking steps to minimize the damage from a natural disaster is key to the County's multi -hazard mitigation plan (MHMP); and as the County works to update the plan, it wants to hear from the public. The McLeod County Office of Emergency Management is currently working with U-Spatial at the University of Minnesota Duluth to update the County's plan. Also working on the update is a planning team of representatives from County departments, local municipalities, school districts and other key stakeholders such as utility providers. The McLeod County MHMP is a multi -jurisdictional plan that covers McLeod County, including the cities of Biscay, Brownton, Glencoe, Hutchinson, Lester Prairie, Plato, Silver Lake, Stewart, and Winsted. The McLeod County MHMP also incorporates the concerns and needs of townships, school districts, and other stakeholders participating in the plan. "Hazard mitigation planning is a central part of our emergency management program," said Kevin Mathews, McLeod County Emergency Management Director. "Understanding the natural hazards that can cause serious impact to our communities and taking action to reduce or eliminate the impact of future disasters makes us more resilient. Hazard mitigation helps us to break the cycle of damage and repair caused by things like flooding, ice storms, and severe wind events that can damage property, stress economies, and threaten life safety in our county." Examples of hazard mitigation include actions include improvement of roads and culverts that experience repetitive flooding; construction of safe rooms at campgrounds, public parks, mobile home parks or schools to protect lives in the event of tornadoes or severe wind events; burying powerlines that may fail due to heavy snow, ice or wind storms; ensuring timely emergency communication to the public through warning sirens and mass notification systems, and conducting public awareness and education campaigns to help people to be prepared to take safe action before, during, or following a hazard event. Some mitigation activities may be eligible for future FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant funding. McLeod County is an Equal Opportunity Employer As part of the planning process, McLeod County is seeking feedback from residents and businesses from across the County to incorporate into the plan: • What are the natural hazards you feel pose the greatest risk to your community? • Have you experienced a previous disaster event? • What concerns do you have, and what sorts of mitigation actions or projects do you feel would help to reduce the damages of potential future events for your personal property, your community, or the County as a whole? Comments, concerns, or questions regarding natural disasters and potential mitigation actions to be included into the plan update process should be submitted to McLeod County Emergency Management. There will be additional opportunities for public feedback throughout the planning process. A draft of the plan will be posted on the County website for public review prior to submission of the plan to the State of Minnesota for final adoption. Future news releases will be shared with the media to notify the public of these opportunities. The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requires counties to update their plan every 5 years to maintain eligibility for FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs.

Comment: To be better prepared to deal with a disaster of any sort, I think that every single government entity within McLeod County should utilize the State of Minnesota 800 MHz Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response (ARMER). If every government entity was using the ARMER system for normal day to day operations, during a time of disaster, it would provide seamless interoperability with all other resources. In addition to all County and City government departments utilizing the ARMER system, I would also advocate for its use by ALL government entity utility providers, public schools (including school buses), and Ridgewater College. Incorporation: The McLeod County Emergency Management Director reviewed this comment and felt it was not necessary to address it in the MHMP. "All public safety agencies in the county are on the ARMER system already and have been since we migrated to it back in 2012. There are a few public work departments and public schools on it as well. Ridgewater College in Hutchinson is not on the ARMER system now and there are currently no plans on bring them onto the system. There are spare radios that the McLeod County Sheriff's Office has on hand should they be needed during an emergency for an agency that is not on the ARMER system." 11/12/21 Public Input on City of Lester Prairie Facebook Page Local Resident, City of Lester Prairie Comment: "Is there a plan forresidents that don't have a basement or crawl space during a storm? I've realized we have quite a few homes on slabs in our community. Is there a public storm shelter in the area?" Incorporation: This public feedback was not incorporated into the local mitigation action chart for the city of Lester Prairie. The City of Lester Prairie responded to the resident's comment on Facebook with the following comment: The City of Lester Prairie does not have a storm shelter. It is the responsibility of the homeowners to build a storm shelter or create a safety plan in the event of severe weather. In the city's mitigation action chart, item #5 addresses the construction of storm shelters at key locations where people are most vulnerable to high wind events: Address the need for storm shelters at the mobile home park (900 2nd Ave. S.), our major city park and our new municipal campground (Sunrise Nature Park) to protect people vulnerable to high wind or tornado events.

Citizens can find a link to review the plan and offer feedback by visiting: https://z.umn.edu/mcleod hmp. The review and comment period is open through Sunday, November 14. After that, the county will submit the draft plan to the State of Minnesota and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for review. The McLeod County MHMP is a multi -jurisdictional plan that covers McLeod County, including the cities of Biscay, Brownton, Glencoe, Hutchinson, Lester Prairie, Plato, Silver Lake, Stewart, and Winsted. The McLeod County MHMP also incorporates the concerns and needs of townships, school districts, and other stakeholders participating in the plan. McLeod County is vulnerable to a variety of potential natural disasters, which threaten the loss of life and property in the county. The plan addresses how to mitigate against hazards such as tornadoes, flooding, wildland fires, blizzards, straight-line winds, ice storms, and droughts which have the potential for inflicting vast economic loss and personal hardship. Update of the plan has been under direction of McLeod County Emergency Management in cooperation with U-Spatial at the University of Minnesota Duluth and representatives from County departments, city and township governments, school districts, and other key stakeholders. Together, the planning team worked to identify cost-effective and sustainable actions to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life or property from natural hazards. Some examples include improvement of roads and culverts that experience repetitive flooding; construction of safe rooms at campgrounds, public parks, mobile home parks or schools to protect lives in the event of tornadoes or severe wind events; burying powerlines that may fail due to heavy snow, ice or wind storms; ensuring timely emergency communication to the public through warning sirens and mass notification systems, and conducting public awareness and education campaigns to help people be prepared to take safe action before, during, or following a hazard event. Hazard mitigation planning helps McLeod County and other jurisdictions protect their residents. Working with local communities through the process helps identify vulnerabilities and develop strategies to reduce or eliminate the effects of a potential hazard. In addition, increasing public awareness of local hazards and disaster preparedness helps to create a community that is resilient to disaster, and breaks the cycle of response and recovery. Updating the plan further allows the County and its jurisdictions to apply for eligible projects under future Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant McLeod County is an Equal Opportunity Employer funding from FEMA for projects that are cost-effective and will help to reduce or eliminate impacts of future natural disaster events. Community feedback is vital to the success of the plan. McLeod County invites public review and feedback of the draft plan prior to submitting it to the State of Minnesota and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for review. Feedback may be provided via the online comment form or directly to McLeod County Emergency Management.

Over 50 years of storm data on record document that Minnesota has experienced an increase in the number and strength of weather -related natural disasters, particularly those related to rising temperatures and heavy downpours. These events cost our state millions in property loss, damaged infrastructure, disrupted business, medical care and support services, and put residents and responders at risk. Understanding how our weather is changing now and into the future will help planners and decision -makers in emergency management and supporting fields extend our progress in climate adaptation and lead to more resilient communities. CLIMATE PROJECTION DATA AS A TOOL Climate projections can help us prepare for the future. These data result from highly sophisticated global climate models and provide a general idea of trends in temperature and precipitation many decades into the future at ever- increasing time and spatial scales. Like every dataset, there are limitations to our understanding and application of the information to real -life decision -making. Yet despite limitations, climate projection data offer a crucial glimpse into our potential futures, and allow us to start considering the best way to allocate our preparedness dollars and management resources to reduce the severe impacts of extreme weather. i Ice storm (Mark Steil, 2013) PUTTING CLIMATE CHANGE INTO CONTEXT Sometimes, climate change and extreme weather events and the impact on our communities appear distant and abstract. That is why the Minnesota Department of Health's Minnesota Climate & Health Program teamed up with state and local emergency management and preparedness professionals as well as state climatologists to develop a custom climate profile for each of the six Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) regions across the state. Each regional profile includes a description of climate change trends along with a summary of climate projection data to illustrate these trends. Regional climate data are presented alongside population projection data, as it's important to consider both our climate future and population future as we plan to minimize risk and build resilience against climate impacts. Additionally, each regional profile provides a local case study, a "focusing event," to illustrate the links between extreme weather and natural disasters and what climate projection data can (and cannot) signify for similar events in the future. Each case study features a recent natural disaster that impacted the HSEM region and provides a comparison between temperature and precipitation measures related to that event alongside historical baseline trends and future projection estimates. Taken together, the six HSEM regional profiles provide an extensive overview ofclimate change trends for Minnesota and describe the potential impact of these trends for emergency management and preparedness professionals and their partners. FOR MORE INFORMATION A long form report, including all six profiles, individual county data, and a more comprehensive description of climate change trends and supporting research will be available at: Minnesota Climate & Health Planning Tools & Data (www health. state. mn. us/d ivs/clim atechange/data. html) REGION 5/2 REGION 5: S, COUNTIES • Brown • Chippewa • Cottonwoc • Jackson • Lac Qui Pa • Lincoln • Lyon • Martin • McLeod HSEM REGII Mark Marcy 651-619-6115 mark.marcv@s OUR KNOWLEDGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE IS EXPANDING RAPIDLY Climate records show that across the Midwest and here in Minnesota we are experiencing an increase in warmer, wetter conditions as well as an increase in extreme weather events and related natural disasters. Experts expect these conditions to continue well into the future. By mid-century, Minnesotans can expect much warmer winters, more severe summer heat waves, a higher frequency of very heavy rain events and a higher frequency of late growing season drought conditions. Many communities in Minnesota rely on economies rooted in agriculture and outdoor recreation, such as wintertime tourism, including snowmobiling, ice fishing, and skiing. Future climate conditions may stress agricultural economies by delaying planting and fieldwork, increasing disease and pest pressure, and reducing crop yields due to cycles of flooding and dry spells. Rapidly warming winter temperatures will turn snowfall into rain and reduce the depth and timing of lake ice cover, affecting winter recreation. Extreme rainfall events will increase flood risk, particularly in floodplain areas, disrupting transportation and utility service, and damaging property and infrastructure. In addition, surface runoff may lead to soil erosion, lake pollution, and reduced drinking water quality. Nutrient runoff in particular, along with warmer temperatures, are likely to contribute to a larger occurrence of harmful algal blooms on waters, many valued for recreation. Changing climate conditions are likely to strain the viability of native species, including popular recreational fish, invite encroachment by invasive species, and increase the geographic range and types of ticks and mosquitoes. Some of these trends are evident in the current climate projection data that are available. However, because these data are often averaged or summarized for large areas over large time periods, they can mask the local peaks in temperature and precipitation that can trigger disasters. Until more finely -scaled climate projection data become available to Minnesota planners and decision -makers, the current data still remain useful for exploring the future ahead and establishing a baseline understanding of what our weather challenges may be moving forward. 31 REGIONS Use the following information on temperature, precipitation, and vulnerable populations to help plan for future weather -related incidents. TEMPERATURE There has been an increase in winter and summer temperatures. Our average winter lows are rising rapidly, and our coldest days of winter are now warmer than we have ever recorded. In fact, Minnesota winters are warming nearly 13 times faster than our summers. The continued rise in winter temperatures will result in less snow pack, which will increase chances for grassland/wildfires as well as drought. The warmer winter temperatures will also have major consequences for our ecosystems, including native and invasive species, whose growth, migration, and reproduction are tied to climate cues. The increase in Lyme disease across Minnesota is also likely influenced in part by the loss of our historical winters, due to a longer life -cycle period for ticks. Freeze -thaw cycles are likely to increase as well, damaging roads, power lines, and causing hazardous travel conditions. By mid-century our average summer highs will also see a substantial rise, coupled with an increase in more severe, prolonged heat waves that can contribute to drought and wildfires and pose a serious health threat, particularly to children and seniors. Here are temperature trends for HSEM Region 5: %W Average Summer Maximum Temperature for HSEM Region 5 •: we I I MITI= PRECIPITATION Average Winter Minimum Temperature for HSEM Region 5 •: we I I MITI= There has been an increase in total average as well as heavy precipitation events, with longer periods of intervening dry spells. Our historical rainfall patterns have changed substantially, giving rise to larger, more frequent heavy downpours. Minnesota's high -density rain gauge network has captured a nearly four -fold increase in "mega -rain" events just since the year 2000, compared to the previous three decades. Extreme rainfall events increase the probability of disaster -level flooding. However, there is also an increased probability that by mid-century heavy downpours will be separated in time by longer dry spells, particularly during the late growing season. Over the past century, the Midwest hasn't experienced a significant change in drought duration. However, the average number of days without precipitation is projected to increase in the future, leading Minnesota climate experts to state with moderate -to -high confidence that drought severity, coverage, and duration are likely to increase in the state. Modeling future precipitation amounts and patterns is less straight -forward compared to temperature. Some climate models do a better job than others representing rainfall for the Midwest, and available data sources only provide average estimates on a monthly scale, masking the spikes in extremes that trigger flood and drought disasters. Trend data provided here for HSEM Region 5 are summarized for early summer, when historically Minnesota receives most of its rainfall, and for early fall when rainfall scarcity may threaten crop harvests and local agricultural economies: Average Early Summer Average Early Fall Precipitation for HSEM Region 5 Precipitation for HSEM Region 5 REGION 5/4 VULNERABLE POPULATIONS There has been an increase in the older adult population. Extreme weather events cause a range of health impacts and disruptions that vary across population groups. The vulnerability of a group is a function of its sensitivity to a hazard, exposure to risks, and capacity for responding or coping with the impacts. Children and older adults are often identified as groups vulnerable to climate change threats, including extreme weather and natural disasters. For example, physiologically these groups have a lower capacity to tolerate extreme heat and are often dependent on others for transportation to cooling centers. These groups are also often critically dependent on others during a disaster, such as needing help to evacuate during a flood or wildfire, or to find alternative housing if displaced. Planning for the specific needs of vulnerable populations strengthens local efforts to reduce the impact of extreme weather -related events. Population trend data provided here for HSEM Region 5 are intended to highlight the changes in two key demographic groups for the region, but planners and managers should also consider future changes in other populations of concern, such as those with low incomes, immigrant groups, indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, or vulnerable occupational groups (such as outdoor workers): Childhood Population (0-14) Projection Elder Population (65+) Projection Estimates for HSEM Region 5 Estimates for HSEM Region 5 The following case study is intended to illustrate the links between climate and weather and natural disasters. Acting as a "focusing event," the case study demonstrates how a previous weather -related event (i.e., ice) impacted important economic drivers, environmental resources, and population health. Then, the Climate Projection Data section compares weather data from the case study with baseline and projected weather data to show the possibilities of future disaster events. This case study highlights the relevancy of climate projection data for understanding future climate and weather risks in Minnesota. EVENT: ICE STORM DATE: APRIL 9-12, 2013 A devastating ice storm hit southwestern Minnesota in the spring of 2013. Southwestern Minnesota is in a relatively high -frequency corridor of ice storms, partially due to the Buffalo Ridge where the higher elevation often cools the air just enough to turn rain into freezing rain. A combination of freezing rain and wet, heavy snow brought down trees and powerlines throughout the area leading to widespread power outages and extremely dangerous driving conditions. The heaviest coating of ice was around the cities of Worthington and Luverne with nearly an inch of ice reportedly coating these areas. Conditions required the city of Worthington to declare a state of emergency and resort to rolling blackouts to keep homes habitable and avoid having to open emergency shelters. To enable disaster relief support, the federal government declared five counties disaster areas in the aftermath of the storm: Cottonwood, Jackson, Murray, Nobles, and Rock. 51 REGIONS It is nearly impossible to capture all the various impacts from a natural disaster. These impacts broadly include costly infrastructure damage, disrupted utility service, prolonged work and school absences, acute physical injury, and persistent strains on mental health, on scales ranging from the community to the household to the individual. The extensive costs associated with the 2013 April ice storm event are difficult to capture in a single estimate. One report puts damage costs at about $71 million. However, this estimate does not take into account the loss to businesses that were forced to close or medical expenses for injuries linked to slips, falls, or car accidents. The following are just a few examples of the adverse impacts on HSEM Region 5 communities and others from the 2013 April ice storm: DISRUPTION OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES: Widespread power outages left many communities and farms without electricity or heat during a prolonged period of cold temperatures. More than 100,000 customers across southwest Minnesota were impacted by power disruptions. Some rural customers did not have power restored for multiple days. The widespread loss of power affected communications along with electric, heat, and water services to homes, schools, businesses, and fire stations. BUDGET STRAINS: In several small communities, costs of responding to the disaster consumed their public works budget for the entire year. To assist with hazards and power loss, the Governor activated the National Guard. REGION! '--16 DIRECT HEALTH THREAT: Snow- and ice -covered roads, coupled with downed trees and utility poles, made for extremely dangerous driving conditions. During a single 8-hour period on April 10th, State Patrol reported at least 736 crashes and spinouts, 39 involving serious injuries. EVACUATIONS & CLOSURES: Due to power outages, one medical center was forced to run entirely on its own generators, while others, including a nursing home and a juvenile detention center, needed to evacuate residents and patients to other areas. In order to reduce demand on the fragile power grid and ensure public safety, a number of businesses, schools, and campgrounds were closed. i k Powerlines down in Worthington, Minnesota (Mark Steil, 2013) t{. tt During a single 8-hour period on April 10th, State Patrol reported at least 763 crashes and spinouts, 39 involving serious injuries. ., .AV Top: Car covered in fallen branches in Worthington, Minnesota (Julie Buntjer, 2013) Bottom left: Ice storm in Westbrook, Minnesota (Paul Jones, 2013) Bottom right: Bus off the road in Elk River, Minnesota (Mandl Cline-Elken, 2013) Following are visual representations of climate projection data for Region 5. Data for all counties included in Region 5 were averaged to derive regional estimates. (Data for individual counties are available in the long -form report.) The graphs below compare future temperature and precipitation projection data (in yellow) with a historical climate baseline (in blue) and climate measures from the regional case study event (in green). Because preceding conditions can influence a disaster event, data from February through April are provided to provide context. • Historical: 1981- 2010 LEGEND 49 Case Study: 2013 ice storm 49 Projected: 2050- 2074 Maximum Temperature Trend comparison to 2013 ice storm data 90 80 70 60 LL 50 40 30 20 10 0 Feb Mar Apr REGION 5/8 Minimum Temperature Trend comparison to 2013 ice storm data 70 60 50 40 0 30 20 10 R1 Feb Mar Total Precipitation Trend comparison to 2013 ice storm data 10.0 8.0 6.0 v U C 4.0 2.0 ME Apr Feb Mar Apr 91 REGION 5 CLIMATE DATA EXPERTS expect that future climate conditions across the Midwest will continue to change and affect our environment, economy, and public health. Such conditions are projected to lead to a higher frequency of late growing season drought conditions, elevated winter temperatures with reduced snowpack, prolonged high heat days, and extreme rainfall events. Climate experts also anticipate an increased frequency of severe storms, including heavy ice and snowstorms, like the April 2013 event. Yet, researchers are still working to understand the relationships between climate change and these diverse types of hazardous weather. A fair amount of uncertainty exists as to when, where, why, and how these storms will arise. Currently there is no straight -forward answer to the question, "Will Minnesota experience more extreme snow and ice storms in the future?" Although warmer and shorter winters will lead to more liquid -precipitation events, it is also probable that those same conditions will convert some systems that historically would have been snowstorms into ice storms. Additionally, the higher terrain of the Buffalo Ridge will always make freezing rain somewhat more likely than more topographically -even parts of the state, so the odds of additional ice storms in the future are naturally higher than in most other parts of Minnesota. This is an area where the available climate projection data alone may not be enough to provide a clear picture of future weather events for planning efforts. In fact, a review of the data in the graphs above suggest that Region 5 counties may experience fewer extreme cold -related weather events since temperatures are increasing well above those associated with the 2013 ice storm. Thus, it is important to track climate research and expert consensus on future climate trends in order to critically assess and apply projection data. CLIMATE DATA IS A CRITICAL TOOL in planning for resilient communities into the future. Assessing threats from climate change and planning effective mitigation and response strategies is a key element for emergency managers and other planners to reduce future risk. It is crucial to understand the potential impacts of climate change and the associated priorities and vulnerabilities of communities, including population, the environment, critical infrastructure, and more. However, vulnerability is a nuanced concept and most effective as an indicator of risk when planners seek to understand and address vulnerability as close to the individual level as possible and in association with a specific hazard. ttClimate data is a critical tool in planning for resilient communities into the future. Population projections for HSEM Region 5 show a decrease in children but an increase in elders. As older populations tend to have a greater need for health care services, disrupted access due to ice covered roads or power outages is a major concern. Additionally, older individuals are more susceptible to slips, falls, and injures and have a longer recovery period. Considering the impacts of climate change to vulnerable populations is just one example of how to prioritize mitigation and response planning. CLIMATE PROJECTION DATA continues to improve and should be considered as a priority to advance for Minnesota. Currently, global climate models that produce climate projection data for the Midwest are more accurate at simulating future temperature changes than they are for precipitation. However, the accuracy and resolution of these models are advancing rapidly as are their ability to model the future prevalence in short -duration, high - intensity localized heavy rainfall events. Minnesota would benefit from a statewide high -quality climate projection dataset that is derived using the climate and environment features unique to our state, similar to datasets developed for other states. Meanwhile, data from national resources, like the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), can still provide a powerful input to regional scenario -planning efforts by allowing planners, managers, and analysts a means of "unpacking" general climate change predictions for the Midwest by looking at potential monthly fluctuations in coarse precipitation and temperature measures for Minnesota and its counties. REGION 5/10 Prepare today for tomorrow's climate hazards. Emergency managers, planners, elected officials, and the public play a critical role in creating safe and healthy communities, especially in the face of extreme weather events. There are steps you can take to minimize local risk and build more resilient communities: BRING EVERYONE TO THE TABLE: Build an inclusive yet nimble team to collectively identify climate hazards and potential impacts. Be sure to include members of the community; local department professionals responsible for built, natural, and health resources; planning commissioners; faith -based and cultural organizations; research centers; and commercial organizations. Including diverse perspectives ID throughout your process will help support more equitable planning efforts that best leverage cross - functional resources. INCORPORATE CLIMATE INTO PLANNING: Incorporate climate projection data into planning efforts, such as exercise scenarios and long-range planning, to comprehensively identify future climate hazards and potential cascading effects. Explore how these interact with non -climate hazards in the Chi community, such as aging infrastructure, to understand potential exposure to multiple threats and prioritize actions that build the community's capacity to respond. CHAMPION CLIMATE & HEALTH: Be a champion for climate and health data. Seek opportunities to learn about these data and incorporate it in your work on an iterative basis. Support its application ® in professional networks and articulate the need to fund dynamically downscaled climate projection datasets for Minnesota. Climate data is a critical multi -discipline tool in proactively planning for resilient communities. TOOLS & DATA • Climate at a Glance: National Climatic Data Center.

(TCS) to provide five lift station control panels, one each for Bluffs, Campbell Lane, Elementary, 5t' Avenue, and Stoney Point lift stations. The proposal includes providing the control panels and all associated equipment for lift station control, in accordance with the standards and specifications developed through the previous control panels recently provided for Shady Ridge, Delaware, Harmony, Otter Lake, and McDonald's lift stations. These new control panels will mark the 6'thru 10t' panel standardization spanning several project, what will standardize lift station equipment throughout the City of Hutchinson's thirteen lift stations. This standardization of the control panels will provide similar operation and, to the extent possible, the same manufacturer(s) of components. This proposal does not include installation of these new control panels, as that will be completed by others at the existing lift station locations as part of the SCADA Improvements project. Based on a review of the proposal, AE2S recommends that the City of Hutchinson enter into an agreement with TCS to provide these panels at a price of $149,971. With the increasing costs for this type of equipment, these prices are extremely competitive. AE2S truly appreciates the opportunity to continue working with you on this very important project for the City of Hutchinson. Should you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me.

Seppelt Agenda Item Type: Presenter: Miles R. Seppelt Reviewed by Staff ❑ Public Hearing Time Requested (Minutes): 10 License Contingency N/A Attachments: Yes BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OF AGENDA ITEM: Brian Forcier, developer for the Cobblestone Inn hotel, has expressed interest in redeveloping the Jorgensen Hotel located at 2 Main Street South. The Jorgensen was originally constructed in 1916 and the upper floors of the building have been vacant since the 1970's. Due to the very poor condition of the building and the extensive renovations needed, redevelopment is not financially feasible unless public assistance is provided. Proposed assistance would be a 25-year redevelopment TIF District which would capture a portion of the property taxes paid on the property to reimburse the developer for certain qualifying redevelopment costs. The City used this same tool for the State Theatre and Cornerstone Commons. Plans call for the building to be redeveloped as an upscale hotel with 20 to 24 rooms. Improvements to the building would include the addition of an elevator, a new roof, new windows, exterior tuck -pointing and a complete rebuilding of the interior 2nd and 3rd floors. The city's financial consultant has reviewed the project and found that public assistance is justified and the proposed amount is appropriate At the public hearing, staff will provide detailed information on the project and the proposed TIF district. The following is included in your Council packet for review: 1. Tax increment financing district (TIF) plan 2. Memorandum from Ehlers & Associates validating need for public assistance 3. Resolution establishing TIF District 4-22, a redevelopment TIF district 4. Resolution authorizing inter -fund loan The EDA Board has reviewed the proposed TIF District plan and is recommending its approval by the City Council. BOARD ACTION REQUESTED: 1. Approval of resolution authorizing modification of the Development program for Development District No. 4 and the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District 4-22. 2.

This modification represents a continuation of the goals and objectives set forth in the Development Program for Development District No. 4. Generally, the substantive changes include the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22. For further information, a review of the Development Program for Development District No. 4, is recommended. It is available from the City Administrator at the City of Hutchinson. Other relevant information is contained in the Tax Increment Financing Plans for the Tax Increment Financing Districts located within Development District No. 4. City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 FOREWORD The City of Hutchinson (the "City"), staff and consultants have prepared the following information to expedite the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 (the "District"), a redevelopment tax increment financing district, located in Development District No. 4. STATUTORY AUTHORITY Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development or redevelopment to occur. To this end, the City has certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota Statutes ("M.S."), Sections 469.724 - 469.733, inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections 469.774 to 469.7794, inclusive, as amended (the "Tax Increment Financing Act" or "TIF Act"), to assist in financing public costs related to this project. This section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the District. Other relevant information is contained in the Modification to the Development Program for Development District No. 4. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES The District currently consists of one (1) parcel of land and adjacent roads and internal rights -of -way. The District is being created to facilitate the redevelopment of the Jorgensen Hotel Site in the City. Further information regarding the project can be found in Appendix A. The City has not entered into an agreement or designated a developer at the time of preparation of this TIF Plan, but development is likely to occur in Spring of 2022. This TIF Plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the Development Program for Development District No. 4. The activities contemplated in the Modification to the Development Program and the TIF Plan do not preclude the undertaking of other qualified development or redevelopment activities. These activities are anticipated to occur over the life of Development District No. 4 and the District. City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 2 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OVERVIEW Pursuant to the Development Program and authorizing state statutes, the City is authorized to undertake the following activities in the District: 1. Property to be Acquired - Selected property located within the District may be acquired by the City and is further described in this TIF Plan. 2. Relocation - Relocation services, to the extent required by law, are available pursuant to M.S., Chapter 117 and other relevant state and federal laws. 3. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and completion of the necessary legal requirements, the City may sell to a developer selected properties that it may acquire within the District or may lease land or facilities to a developer. 4. The City may perform or provide for some or all necessary acquisition, construction, relocation, demolition, and required utilities and public street work within the District. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT AND PROPERTY TO BE ACQUIRED The District encompasses all property and adjacent roads rights -of -way and abutting roadways identified by the parcels listed below. Please also see the map in Appendix B for further information on the location of the District. The City and/or EDA may acquire any parcel within the District including interior and adjacent street rights of way. Any properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the City and/or EDA only in order to accomplish one or more of the following: storm sewer improvements; provide land for needed public streets, utilities and facilities; carry out land acquisition for site assembly, site improvements, clearance and/or development to accomplish the uses and objectives set forth in this plan. The City and/or EDA may acquire property by gift, dedication, condemnation or direct purchase from willing sellers in order to achieve the objectives of this TIF Plan. City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 3 Such acquisitions will be undertaken only when there is assurance of funding to finance the acquisition and related costs. DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION The City, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with M.S., Sections 469.774 to 469.7794, as amended, inclusive, finds that the District, to be established, is a redevelopment district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.774, Subd. 10(a)(1). • The District is a redevelopment district consisting of one (1) parcel. • An inventory shows that parcels consisting of more than 70 percent of the area in the District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures. • An inspection of the buildings located within the District finds that more than 50 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard as defined in the TIF Act. (See Appendix E). Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.776, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any parcel or part of a parcel that qualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections 273.111, 273.112, or 273.114 or Chapter 473H for taxes payable in any of the five calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District. DURATION & FIRST YEAR OF DISTRICT'S TAX INCREMENT Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.775, Subd. 1, and Section 469.776, Subd. 1, the duration and first year of tax increment of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.776, Subd lb., the duration of the District will be 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the City (a total of 26 years of tax increment). The City elects to receive the first tax increment in 2025, which is no later than four years following the year of approval of the District. Thus, it is estimated that the District, including any modifications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2050, or when the TIF Plan is satisfied. The City reserves the right to decertify the District prior to the legally required date. City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 4 ORIGINAL TAX CAPACITY, TAX RATE & ESTIMATED CAPTURED NET TAX CAPACITY VALUE/INCREMENT & NOTIFICATION OF PRIOR PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.774, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.777, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor in 2021 for taxes payable 2022. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.777, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning in the payment year 2025) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of: 1. Change in tax exempt status of property; 2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district; 3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court -ordered abatements; 4. Change in the use of the property and classification; 5. Change in state law governing class rates; or 6. Change in previously issued building permits. In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declines below the ONTC, no value will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the City. The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2021, assuming the request for certification is made before June 30, 2022. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for the District appear in the table below. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.774 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.777, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within Development District No. 4, upon completion of the projects within the District, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the table below. The City requests 100 percent of the available increase in tax capacity for repayment of its obligations and current expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2025. The Project Tax Capacity (PTC) listed is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed. City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 5 Project estimated Tax Capacity upon completion 75,736 Original estimated Net Tax Capacity 10,668 Fiscal Disparities X u Estimated Captured Tax Capacity 65,068 Original Local Tax Rate 159.5420% Pay 2021 Estimated Annual Tax Increment $103,811 Percent Retainted by the City 100% Note: Tax capacity includes a 3.0% inflation factor for the duration of the District. The tax capacity included in this chart is the estimated tax capacity of the District in year 25. The tax capacity of the District in year one is estimated to be $36,172. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the City shall, after a due and diligent search, accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of enlargement for which building permits have been issued during the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax capacity of improvements for which a building permit was issued. The City has reviewed the area to be included in the District and found no parcels for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the City. SOURCES OF REVENUE/BONDS TO BE ISSUED The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the table below: Tax Increment Interest TOTAL $ 1,800,000 180,000 $1,980,000 The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the annual collection of tax increments. The City reserves the right to incur bonds or other indebtedness as a result of the TIF Plan. As presently proposed, the projects within the District will be financed by pay-as-you-go notes and interfund loans. Any refunding amounts will be deemed a budgeted cost without a formal TIF Plan Modification. This provision does not obligate the City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 6 City to incur debt. The City will issue bonds or incur other debt only upon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the City. The City may issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) secured in whole or in part with tax increments from the District in a maximum principal amount of $1,280,000. Such bonds may be in the form of pay-as-you-go notes, revenue bonds or notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans. This estimate of total bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under this TIF Plan as of the date of approval. USES OF FUNDS Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate the redevelopment of the Jorgensen Hotel Site. The City has determined that it will be necessary to provide assistance to the project for certain District costs, as described. The City has studied the feasibility of the development or redevelopment of property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and development or redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is outlined in the following table. Land/Building Acquisition $ - Site Improvements/Preparation 1,100,000 Affordable Housing - Utilities - Other Qualifying Improvements - Administrative Costs (up to 10%) 180,000 PROJECT COSTS TOTAL $1,280,000 Interest 700,000 PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL $1,980,000 The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table above does not exceed the total projected tax increments for the District as shown in the Sources of Revenue section. Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among categories without a modification to this TIF Plan. The cost of all activities to be considered for tax increment financing will not exceed, without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 7 requirements. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.7763, Subd. 2, no more than 25 percent of the tax increment paid by property within the District will be spent on activities related to development or redevelopment outside of the District but within the boundaries of Development District No. 4, (including administrative costs, which are considered to be spent outside of the District) subject to the limitations as described in this TIF Plan. ESTIMATED IMPACT ON OTHER TAXING JURISDICTIONS The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the redevelopment contemplated by the TIF Plan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the City has determined that such development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment financing and that, therefore, the fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is $0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met: MCCleod County 42,494,660 City of Hutchinson 11,945,125 ISD No. 423 18,390,316 (Hutchinson) 65,068 65,068 65,068 0.1531% 0.5447% 0.3538% Impact on Tax Rates Pay 2021 Percent Potentla Entity Extension CTC - ate Total - MCCleod County o 58.5570 /0 0 36.70 /0 65,068 $ 38,102 City of Hutchinson 63.8820% 40.04% 65,068 41,567 ISD No. 423 33.5440% 21.03% 65,068 21,826 (Hutchinson) Other 3.5590% 2.23% 65,068 2,316 159.5420% 100.00% $103,811 City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 8 The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rate used for calculations is the Pay 2021 rate, which is the most current rate available at the time of the Plan preparation. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are based on Pay 2021 figures. The District will be certified under the Pay 2022 rates, which were unavailable at the time this TIF Plan was prepared. Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.775 Subd. 2(b): (1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the District is $1,800,000; (2) Probable impact of the District on city arovided services and ability to issue debt. An impact of the District on police protection is expected. With any addition of new residents or businesses, police calls for service will be increased. New developments add an increase in traffic, and additional overall demands to the call load. The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or facilities. The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected to be significant. Typically new buildings generate few calls, if any, and are of superior construction. The existing building, which will be renovated, has no fire protection system. The proposed redevelopment of the building will feature a water sprinkler system that will enhance fire safety. The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or facilities. The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be minimal. The development is not expected to significantly impact any traffic movements in the area. The current infrastructure for sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water will be able to handle the additional volume generated from the proposed development. Based on the development plans, there are no additional costs associated with street maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and sidewalks. The development in the District is expected to contribute an estimated $44,550 in sanitary sewer (SAC) and water (WAC) connection fees. City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 9 The probable impact of any District general obligation tax increment bonds on the ability to issue debt for general fund purposes is expected to be minimal. It is not anticipated that there will be any general obligation debt issued in relation to this project, therefore there will be no impact on the City's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limit. (3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district levies. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to school district levies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $378,453; (4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $660,657; (5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The City is not aware of any standard questions in a county or school district written policy regarding tax increment districts and impact on county or school district services. The county or school district must request additional information pursuant to M.S. Section 469.775 Subd. 2(b) within 15 days after receipt of the tax increment financing plan. No requests for additional information from the county or school district regarding the proposed development for the District have been received. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175, Subd. 1 (a), clause 7 the TIF Plan must contain identification and description of studies and analyses used to make the determination set forth in M.S. Section 469.775, Subd. 3, clause (b)(2) and the findings are required in the resolution approving the District. (i) In making said determination, reliance has been placed upon (1) written representation made by the developer to such effects; and (2) City staff awareness of the feasibility of developing the project site within the District, which is further outlined in the city council resolution approving the establishment of the TIF District and Appendix D. City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 10 (ii)A comparative analysis of estimated market value both with and without establishment of the TIF District and the use of tax increments has been performed. Such analysis is included with the cashf low in Appendix C and indicates that the increase in estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of the TIF District and the use of tax increments. DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION Administration of the District will be handled by the City Administrator. City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 11 Appendix A: Project Description The Jorgensen Hotel building, located on Main Street South, was originally constructed in 1916. The first floor has been renovated and is being used for commercial office space. The basement, second and third floors are in poor condition, needing extensive renovation in order to be made into usable space. In addition an elevator and a new roof add to the required renovation. The proposed project includes redeveloping the site as an upscale, 24-room hotel. The existing first floor office spaces would be retained, the top two floors renovated to create 10 hotel rooms on each level and, if it can be accomplished structurally, two additional floors will be added to the structure. This will create a building in downtown Hutchinson and bring new life to a structure that sorely needs it. A developer is exploring the feasibility of purchasing the property and has requested tax increment assistance through a pay as you go TIF Note. Due to the very extensive renovations needed, the project would not be financially feasible without public assistance.

Inc - Es ales Ony -Emma-Re..Irp-.UIRTIF Oi�MF4R1Cesh flo TIF Run Fisral Implxati.A¢ Appendix D: Findings Including But/For Qualifications The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan (TIF Plan) for Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 (the "District"), as required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows: L Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 is a redevelopment district as defined in M.S., Section 469.774, Subd, 70. The District consists of one (1) parcel and vacant right-of-way, with plans to redevelop the area for the redevelopment of the Jorgensen Hotel Site. The parcel consists of 70 percent of the area of the District is occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures and the building in the District, not including outbuildings, is structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation. (See Appendix E of the TIF Plan.) 2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 permitted by the TIF Plan. The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported by the fact that the redevelopment proposed in the TIF Plan meets the City's objectives for redevelopment. Due to the high cost of redevelopment on the parcel currently occupied by the substandard building and the cost of financing the proposed improvements, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. The developer was asked for and provided a letter and business subsidy application as justification that the developer would not have gone forward without tax increment assistance. City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 15 The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds that the cost of site and public improvements add to the total redevelopment cost. Historically, construction costs, site and public improvements costs in this area have made redevelopment infeasible without tax increment assistance. The City reasonably determines that no other redevelopment of similar scope is anticipated on this site without substantially similar assistance being provided to the development. Therefore, the City concludes as follows: a. The City's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the entire District will increase without the use of tax increment financing is $0. b. If the proposed development occurs, the total increase in market value will be $1,275,200. c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $937,519. Cl. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the Council finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than $337,681 (the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c) without tax increment assistance. 3. Finding that the TIF Plan for the District conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole. The Planning Commission reviewed the TIF Plan on 11/16/2021 and found that the TIF Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City. OR The City Council reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City. City of Hutchinson Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 16 4. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of Development District No. 4 by private enterprise. The project to be assisted by the District will result in increased employment in the City and the State of Minnesota, the renovation of substandard properties, increased tax base of the State and add a high - quality development to the City. Through the implementation of the TIF Plan, EDA or the City will increase the availability of safe and decent hotel space in the City.

Seppelt, EDA Director Kyle Dimler, Building Official October 5, 2021 I. Governing Statutory Language To be eligible for a Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District, the area to be redeveloped must meet certain requirements as outlined in state statute. These are: Minnesota Statute 469.174 Subd. IO.Redevelopment district. Subd. 10 (a) "Redevelopment district" means a type of tax increment financing district consisting of a project, or portions of a project, within which the authority finds by resolution that one or more of the following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the district, exists: (1) parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance; Subd. 10 (b) For purposes of this subdivision, "structurally substandard" shall mean containing defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance. Subd. 10 (c) A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code applicable to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than I5 percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally substandard under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such as the size, type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs, or other similar reliable evidence. The municipality may not make such a determination without an interior inspection of the property, but need not have an independent, expert appraisal prepared of the cost of repair and rehabilitation of the building. An interior inspection of the property is not required, if the municipality finds that (1) the municipality or authority is unable to gain access to the property after using its best efforts to obtain permission from the party that owns or controls the property; and (2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion that the building is structurally substandard. Items of evidence that support such a conclusion include recent fire or police inspections, on -site property tax appraisals or housing inspections, exterior evidence of deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence. Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior inspection was not conducted must be made and retained under section 469.175, subdivision 3, clause (1). Failure of a building to be disqualified under the provisions of this paragraph is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition to determining that the building is substandard. Subd. 10(e) For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures unless 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures. II. Study Area Figure 1— Aerial view of study area -I Proposed Redevelopment TIF District 4-22 would be composed of one oversize lot in downtown Hutchinson occupied by a structure commonly referred to at the 'Jorgensen Hotel,' originally built in 1916. Table 1— Identification of Study Area `Jorgensen Hotel' 2 Main Street South Block 1, Lot 8, EX S 2' OF E 36', SOUTH HALF OF HUTCHINSON Figure 2 — Map of Study Area Wbehh&nAm A- 2 Main Street S McLeod 230500535 I 230670010 0 230SO0530 230670020 230500540 III. Criterion 1 Minnesota Statute 469.174, Subd. 10 (a) (1) states: 'parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures... " Finding There is one parcel in the proposed Redevelopment TIF District. This one lot is occupied entirely by the Jorgensen Hotel building. 1 parcel / 1 occupied = 100% Since 100% of the parcels in the proposed Redevelopment TIF District are in fact occupied by buildings are parking lots as specified in statute, this criterion is satisfied. IV. Criterion 2 The second criterion that must be satisfied is that more than one-half of the buildings in the proposed redevelopment district must be found to be substandard based upon an internal inspection. The governing statutes state: Minnesota Statute 469.174, Subd 10. (a) (1) "...and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance; " Finding There is one building within the proposed redevelopment area. One building has been determined to be substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. 1 building/ 1 sub -standard = 100% Since 100% of the buildings were found to be substandard, this criterion is satisfied. V. Criterion 3 The third criterion to be satisfied is that the cost to bring the existing structure up to current building code standards would be at least 15% of the cost to construct a new building of the same square footage and type: Minnesota Statute 469.174 Subd. 10 (b) For purposes of this subdivision, "structurally substandard" shall mean containing defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance. Subd. 10 (c) A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code applicable to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than 15 percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally substandard under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such as the size, type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs, or other similar reliable evidence. The municipality may not make such a determination without an interior inspection of the property, but need not have an independent, expert appraisal prepared of the cost of repair and rehabilitation of the building. An interior inspection of the property is not required, if the municipality finds that (1) the municipality or authority is unable to gain access to the property after using its best efforts to obtain permission from the party that owns or controls the property; and (2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion that the building is structurally substandard. Items of evidence that support such a conclusion include recent fire or police inspections, on -site property tax appraisals or housing inspections, exterior evidence of deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence. Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior inspection was not conducted must be made and retained under section 469.175, subdivision 3, clause (1). Failure of a building to be disqualified under the provisions of this paragraph is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition to determining that the building is substandard. Findings To document the findings required by Minnesota Statute 469.174, Subd 10. (1) (b) and (c), the City of Hutchinson's building official conducted an interior inspection of the 'Jorgensen Hotel' building on September 8, 2021. Building Code violations found include the following: 1. MN Building Code Section 903.2.8 requires an automatic sprinkler system to be installed throughout all buildings with a Group R fire area. For R-1 and R-2 occupancies, such as this structure, there is an exception for buildings where less than 4,500 square feet are R-1 and R- 2. This exception does not apply due to the building area of this structure so a fire sprinkler system is required throughout the upper 2 stories that have most recently been used as hotel and/or apartment occupancies. 2. MN Commercial Energy Code Table C402.1.3 requires Group R occupancy structures with "Mass" type exterior walls above grade to be provided with R-15.2 continuous insulation, which essential consists of sheet foam insulation in the exterior wall envelope assembly. I don't find any indication in the architectural analysis provided in 2002 or in renovation records since that the exterior walls comply with this requirement. 3. MN Commercial Energy Code Table C402.1.3 requires this type of structure to insulate below grade walls (e.g. foundation walls) with R-7.5 continuous insulation and there is no indication this exists or is complied with. 4. MN Commercial Energy Code Table C402.4 requires operable windows to provide a maximum U- factor of 0.43 which there is no indication that the existing windows on the upper 2 levels of the building comply with. 5. The City's file for this property includes an analysis provided by Claybaugh Preservation Architecture Inc. noting that: a. None of the existing stairs meet the MN Building Code requirements for rise or run; b. The existing fire escape at the end of the corridors are removed creating dead end corridors that do not comply with code requirements requiring renovation to provide a link connecting the building wings on the 2nd and 3rd levels so that one exist stair could serve both corridors; and c. The 2"d existing stair is required to be replaced with a new interior exit stair enclosure serving all 4 levels of the building and be 2-hour fire resistance rated. 6. MN Accessibility Code Section 1104.4 requires multi -level buildings to have at least on accessible route connecting each accessible story. I believe this would require an elevator to be installed. 3RD LEVEL 7. Ten windows are missing and the openings are covered with plywood, not meeting leakage and U-factor requirements for windows. 8. Remainder of windows do not appear to meet current MN Commercial Energy Code requirements for U-factor ratings. 9. All interior partitions removed leaving no occupiable sleeping or dwelling units. 10. Numerous structural concrete beams have no concrete cover over reinforcing steel and significant corrosion has taken place of exposed reinforcing steel. 11. Multiple roof drain and/or plumbing drain/vent pipes are broken or cut open and left with exposed rough openings. 12. Multiple holes exist in floor and ceiling layers leaving openings without protection of fire-resistant rated construction as required. 2ND LEVEL 13. Multiple windows are missing and the openings are covered with plywood, not meeting leakage and U-factor requirements for windows. 14. Remainder of windows do not appear to meet current MN Commercial Energy Code requirements for U-factor ratings. 15. All interior partitions removed leaving no occupiable sleeping or dwelling units. 16. Numerous structural concrete beams have no concrete cover over reinforcing steel and significant corrosion has taken place of exposed reinforcing steel. 17. Multiple roof drain and/or plumbing drain/vent pipes are broken or cut open and left with exposed rough openings. 18. Multiple holes exist in floor and ceiling layers leaving openings without protection of fire-resistant rated construction as required. OTHER ITEMS 19. Stairs connecting 2nd and 3`d level have had walls removed leaving no fire resistance rated protection for stair occupants from remainder of open 2nd and 3rd levels. 20. No lighting provided and no controls, per MN Commercial Energy Code, in place in 2nd or 3rd level. 21. No HVAC system or controls provided as required by MN Commercial Energy and MN Mechanical Codes. 22. No code compliant guards or handrails provided at either of the interior stairways connecting 2nd and 3rd levels. 23. Electrical distribution system components have been removed. 24. All plumbing fixtures have been removed. No required sanitation requirements provided. The Contegrity Group, a construction management firm based in Little Falls, Minnesota reviewed the building code deficiencies identified, conducted a physical inspection of the building and put together a cost estimate to correct the deficiencies identified. Their analysis can be found in Appendix "A" of this report. The estimated total cost to bring the existing structure up to current building code standards was determined to be about $2,266,977 The estimated cost for a building of the same square footage and type is about $6,320,160 $2,266,977 / $6,320,160 = 35.9% Since the total cost to renovate the existing building is far more than 15% of the cost to construct a new building of the same square footage and type, the 'Jorgensen Hotel' building does meet the statutory definition of substandard. Additionally, since there is only one building on the lot, 100% of the buildings have been determined to be substandard. This legal criterion therefore is met. VI. Criterion 4 Minnesota State Statute 469.174 Subd. 10(e) states: For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures unless 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved orgravel parking lots, or other similar .structures. Finding The parcel in question covers one oversize lot in downtown Hutchinson with an area of 8,724 square feet. The total improved area (the building) is 8,724 square feet. 8,724 sf lot / 8,724 sf improved = 100 % 100 % of the parcel is 'improved,' therefore this criterion is satisfied. VII. Conclusion All four statutory criteria are satisfied as summarized in Table 2, below. Finding Reference Table 2 — Summary of Findings Criterion Finding 1 M.S. 469.174 Parcels consisting of 70% of the area of 100% of the parcels in the area of the Subd. 10 (a) (1) the district are occupied proposed district are occupied 2 M.S. 469.174 More than 50% of the buildings, not 100% of the buildings in the proposed Subd 10 (a) (1) including outbuildings, are found to be district were determined to be substandard substandard 3 M.S. 469.174 Cost to renovate is at least 15% of the Renovation costs are estimated to be at Subd. 10 (c) cost of a new building of the same least 35.9% of the cost of a new building square footage and type 44 4 M.S. 469.174 15 percent of the area of the parcel 100% of the area of the parcel is occupied Subd. 10 (e) contains buildings by a building The conclusion is that the area of this study does meet the eligibility requirements for designation as a Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District.

The developer is requesting the city provide $500,000 in TIF assistance to make the project financially feasible. You requested that Ehlers review the developer's proposal to determine whether the request is reasonable and within industry standards. Ehlers conducted a thorough review of the developer's budget and operating pro forma to ensure all development costs, anticipated revenues, and expenditures were represented appropriately. Based on our projection of tax increment for a potential redevelopment TIF district, the project will only be able to generate $300,000 in present value TIF. Therefore, the analysis assumes $300,000 in TIF assistance for the project. Additional developer equity is assumed to cover the remaining $200,000 gap. The table below depicts the sources and uses of funds for the project. U RCES First Mortgage 4,334,000 72.4% 180,583 TIF Loan 300,000 5.0% 12,500 Storefront Loan 150,000 2.5% 6,250 Developer Equity 1,200,000 20.1 % 50,000 TOTAL SOURCES 5,984,000 100% 249,333 USES -..

IT'S WHAT WE DO. info(d)ehlers-inc.com 1 (800) 552-1171 www.ehlers-inc.com Sll _0 �EHLERS PUBLIC FINANCE ADVISORS Analysis Generally, this project meets expectations for a boutique hotel project as it relates to the financing structure, projected revenues, developer fee, and on -going operational costs. Following are our findings from the analysis completed for the project: The developer proposes to finance the entire project with a combination of equity and debt. The proposed financing includes just over 20% equity and nearly in 80% debt, including a I" mortgage, TIF mortgage, and a storefront loan. For a project of this nature, we would expect to see an equity contribution of at least 20%. The developer indicates the first mortgage would include a 20-year term with 5% interest. While these terms are within industry standards and are used for the analysis, we were not given an actual lending commitment to review. • The total development cost (TDC) for this project is $5.98 million or $249,333 per room. The development costs exceed what we would expect for typical new hotel construction. The project is rehabilitating an existing building, however, which can add significant cost. The development costs are within an acceptable range, but we did not receive a detailed contractor's estimate for review. • The developer fee of $225,000 is 3.8% of total development costs. For a project of this nature, we would expect to see a developer fee of no more than 5%. The proposed fee is acceptable. • The developer projects an Average Daily Rate (ADR) of $150 in year one with a 65% percent occupancy assumption. We typically see ADR assumptions of between $110 and $160 in year 1 depending on the local market. This revenue assumption is on the higher end of competing properties within the market area. We conclude that projected revenue is not understated for this project. • The total operating costs are projected at approximately 19,500 per room, per year. The proposed operating costs are within industry standards. • The projected rates of return for this project without TIF assistance are below industry standards. Upon stabilization (year 3 with full annual TIF), the projected cash -on -cash return (net cash flow / developer equity) is 4.9%. Hotel developer/owners would like to see a cash -on -cash return of up to 10%. Providing $300,000 in TIF assistance pushes these returns up to 6.8% at stabilization, averaging out to 9.1% by year 15. Conclusions Based on our review of the developer's pro forma, Ehlers concludes the proposed development may not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably near future. The cost associated with redeveloping the site as a hotel and commercial building make the project feasible only through assistance, in part, from City contributions. BUILDING COMMUNITIES.

Recitals. 1.01 The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 469 and specifically Section 469.091, to establish an economic development authority to coordinate and administer economic development and redevelopment plans and programs of the City. 1.02 The Council established Economic Development District No. 4 pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047, inclusive, as amended (the "Act"), in an effort to encourage the development and redevelopment of certain designated areas within the City; and 1.03 A developer has proposed to acquire, and to construct an upscale, 20-24 room hotel located at the former Jorgensen Hotel building site on 2 Main Street South in the City of Hutchinson (the "Proposed Project"); and 1.04 The EDA has proposed the modification of the Development Program for the Development District and the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 (a redevelopment district) located within the Development District (hereinafter referred to as the "TIF District") pursuant Minnesota Statutes Sections 469.174 through 469.1794 (the "TIF Act"), through the adoption of a Modification of the Development Program and Tax Increment Financing Plan therefore (hereinafter referred to as the "TIF Plan") prepared in accordance with the Act and TIF Act to provide assistance in developing the Proposed Project and encouraging investment within the boundaries of the Development District. 1.05 The EDA has transmitted a copy of the proposed TIF Plan to the City Council in a document entitled "Modification to the Development Program for Development District No. 4 and the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 4- 22 (a redevelopment district)" which is now on file in the office of the City Clerk. 1.06 Pursuant to Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 of the TIF Act, the EDA has requested the City to hold a public hearing on the Development Program Modification and the TIF Plan and to approve the Development Program Modification and the TIF Plan, which hearing was held on December 14, 2021, at which time the views of all interested parties were heard. 1.07 Pursuant to Section 469.175, Subdivision 2 of the TIF Act, the EDA has provided the McLeod County Auditor and the Clerk of the School Board of Independent School District No. 423 with a copy of the proposed TIF Plan, which includes the EDA's estimate of the fiscal and economic implications of the proposed TIF District. 1.08 After investigation of the facts, the Council is of the opinion that: it is necessary for the sound and orderly development of the Development District and of the City as a whole and for the protection and preservation of the public health, safety and general welfare, that the powers authorized by the Act be exercised by the EDA to provide public financial assistance to the Proposed Project, as may be modified; proper development of the Development District in accordance with the City's long range plans is essential to the economic viability of the Proposed Project, the economic well-being of the City and its residents and the orderly development of the City; it is necessary for the orderly and beneficial development of the Development District to provide for the cost of certain improvements within the TIF District, including acquisition costs, site improvements and project site preparation and utilities; there is a need for redevelopment within the Development District to improve the tax base of the City and the State of Minnesota (the "State"), to improve the general economy of the City and the State, and to provide other facilities as identified in the TIF Plan; creation of the TIF District is in the public interest and will result in the preservation and enhancement of the tax base of the City; that the TIF District is intended and, in the judgment of the City, its effect will be to promote and accomplish the objectives specified in the TIF Plan, which are all consistent with the efforts already made for the development of the Development District. Section 2. Intent. It is declared to be the intent of the Council that the EDA to use the powers granted to it by the Act, the Enabling Resolution and the TIF Act to achieve the objectives thereof Section 3. Statutory Findings Relative to Development Program Modification. 3.01 The land in the Project Area would not be made available for economic development without the financial assistance provided in the Development Program, as modified. 3.02 It is the opinion of the Council based on information contained in the Development Program, as modified, that development and redevelopment within the Project Area would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future. 3.03 The Development Program, as modified, conforms to the general plan of the City as a whole. 3.04 It is the opinion of the Council that the present use of the Project Area is under used. Further, development of the Project Area is in the public interest and constitutes a public purpose. 3.05 The Council hereby reconfirms its findings that formed the basis of creating the Project Area in the original Development Program, as modified. Section 4. Approval of Development Program Modification. 4.01 The Development Program Modification is approved. 2 Section 5. Statutory Findings Relative to Creation of TIF District. 5.01 It is the opinion of the City, based on discussions with representatives of the developer and information contained in the TIF Plan that, and the City hereby finds, development and redevelopment within the TIF District would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future, that the increased market value of the site to be included in the TIF District that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from redevelopment in the TIF District after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan; and that the use of tax increment financing is necessary. (See the TIF Plan for the reasons and supporting facts which are incorporated herein by reference.) Due to the cost of redevelopment, the Proposed Project would not be feasible and will not occur without the help of tax increment financing. 5.02 The increased market value of the site to be included in the TIF District that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from redevelopment in the TIF District after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan: A. The City and the Council estimate that the amount by which the market value of the entire TIF District would increase without the use of tax increment financing is in an amount from $0 to some modest amount of land value appreciation. B. If the Proposed Project is constructed in the TIF District, the total increase in market value is estimated to be $1,275,000. C. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the City finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than $337,681 without tax increment assistance. 5.03 Based on information contained in the TIF Plan, the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for the redevelopment of the City as a whole. The Council finds that adoption of the TIF Plan would encourage redevelopment in the City, provide economic opportunities, improve the tax base, and improve the general economy of the City and the State. 5.04 Based on information contained in the TIF Plan, the TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the redevelopment of the Development District by private enterprise. Section 6. Approval of TIF Plan. 6.01 The TIF Plan is approved and the TIF District is established. 6.02 The geographic boundaries of the TIF District are as described in the TIF Plan, which document is incorporated herein by reference and which contains the requirements set forth in Section 469.175, Subdivision 1 of the TIF Act. Section 7. Designation of TIF District. 7.01 A. The TIF District is a "redevelopment district" as defined by Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a) of the TIF Act because it is located within the Development District and the City hereby finds it to be in the public interest because the following conditions are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of the TIF District: (1) the TIF District is a redevelopment district consisting of one parcel; and (2) an inventory shows that the parcel consists of more than 70 percent of the area of the TIF district is occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures; and (3) the building inspected, not including outbuildings, is structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. B. The TIF District consists of one tax parcel for real estate tax purposes, which is "occupied" by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures or whether noncontiguous areas apply, the provisions of Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b) through (f) of the TIF Act apply. A parcel is considered "occupied" if more than 15% of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or similar structures. See Exhibit A hereto which documents the parcel which is occupied and that more than 70% of the area within the TIF District is contained in such occupied parcel. C. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10(d), a parcel will be deemed to be occupied by a structurally substandard building for purposes of the findings in Section 7.01A.(3). 7.02 The reasons and supporting facts for determination that the TIF District meets the criteria set forth in Section 7.01 hereof will be retained and made available to the public by the City until the TIF District has been terminated. 7.03 At least 90 percent of the revenues derived from tax increments from the TIF District will be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allowed designation of the TIF District under Section 469.176, Subd. 4 of the TIF Act.

Forcier, Mayor Matthew Jaunich, City Administrator (Seal) M:\DOCS\22546\000001 \ROL\ 1AA591402.DOC RESOLUTION NO. 15384 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TERMS OF A $30,000 TAX INCREMENT INTERFUND LOAN IN CONNECTION WITH TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO.4-22. BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Hutchinson, Minnesota (the "City"), as follows: Section 1. Background. 1.01. The City has approved the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-22 (the "TIF District") within Development District No. 4 (the "Project Area"), and has adopted a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the purpose of financing certain improvements within the Project Area. 1.02. The City has determined to pay for certain costs identified in the TIF Plan consisting of site improvements/preparation, interest, and administrative costs (collectively, the "Qualified Costs"), which costs may be financed on a temporary basis from City funds available for such purposes. 1.03. Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, the City is authorized to advance or loan money from the City's general fund or any other fund from which such advances may be legally authorized, in order to finance the Qualified Costs. 1.04. The City intends to reimburse itself for the Qualified Costs from tax increments derived from the TIF District in accordance with the terms of this resolution (which terms are referred to collectively as the "Interfund Loan") - Section 2. Terms of Interfund Loan. 2.01. The City hereby authorizes the advance of up to $30,000 from the Development District 4 4 fund or so much thereof as may be paid as Qualified Costs. The City shall reimburse itself for such advances from Available Tax Increment (defined below) together with interest at the rate of 4%, which does not exceed the greater of the rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 as of the date the loan is authorized. Interest accrues on the principal amount from the date of each tranche. 2.02. Principal and interest ("Payments") on the outstanding Interfund Loan balance shall be paid annually on each December 31 (each a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment Date on which the City has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on any other dates determined by the City Administrator, through the date of last receipt of tax increment from the TIF District. 2.03. Payments on this Interfund Loan are payable solely from "Available Tax Increment," which shall mean, on each Payment Date, tax increment available after other obligations have been paid, or as determined by the City Administrator, generated in the preceding twelve (12) months with respect to the property within the TIF District and remitted to the City by McLeod County, all in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, all inclusive, as amended. Payments on this Interfund Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or future bonds, notes or contracts secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment, and are on parity with any other outstanding or future interfund loans secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment. 2.04. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Interfund Loan are pre -payable in whole or in part at any time by the City without premium or penalty. No partial prepayment shall affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise required to be made under this Interfund Loan. 2.05. This Interfund Loan is evidence of an internal borrowing by the City in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, and is a limited obligation payable solely from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this resolution. This Interfund Loan and the interest hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, the City. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on this Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment, and neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on this Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto. The City shall have no obligation to pay any principal amount of the Interfund Loan or accrued interest thereon, which may remain unpaid after the final Payment Date. 2.06. Before the latest decertification of any tax increment financing district from which the interfund loan is to be repaid, the City may modify or amend the terms of this Interfund Loan, in writing, by resolution of the City Council, including a determination to forgive the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest to the extent permissible under law.

We were still dealing with issues pertaining to the pandemic and the challenges that it continues to bring us. We did take delivery of a new rural tanker truck and are in the build process for a new rescue/grass rig truck. Our newest group of Firefighters completed all of their Firefighter training and were put to work. Time was taken in September to properly honor the 201h anniversary of 9/11 in conjunction with our annual open house which drew a record crowd. We celebrated the accomplishments and retirements of three veteran Firefighters in the presence of their families. Some opportunities arose for us and we were able to conduct two live fire training house burns. Call volume stayed very consistent from the previous year. Unfortunately there were two fire fatalities that occurred. Our Firefighters see the highest of highs and the lowest of lows on a routine basis and we try to balance that with a strong focus on the health and well-being of our entire Firefighter family. We truly appreciate the support we receive from the Townships and Cities that we serve! We are very blessed to have a dedicated group of Firefighters that are ready and willing to perform at the highest level, whenever they are called to duty.

We walked with Doug and also went back and walked from Cosmos to Hutchinson to cover the miles that he couldn't walk because of physical injuries he incurred during his journey. -McLeod County Fair grandstand events (fire suppression and EMS support). -Multiple escorts of Hutchinson High School state team events. -The "Reach Team" Chad Greenway football camp. -Annual Memorial Day Parade, water carnival parade and activities including "Tiger Time Challenge." -Active involvement with the MN State Fire Chiefs Assoc. and the McLeod County Fire Chiefs Assoc. -Engaged with community members at multiple city and rural "National Night Out" locations. -Conducted joint training events with some of our commercial business/manufacturing partners. -Supported our fire service families at funerals, and other numerous special events. Ceremonies Our newest group of Firefighters completed all of their training and received badges at a special ceremony supported by their families and Firefighting brothers. Congrats to Firefighters: Jason Donnay, Nick Pagel, Robert Piehl, Steven Olson and Nick Steinhaus! There was also cause for celebration for Chris Dostal and Eric Inselmann who were both pinned as new Lieutenants. We also celebrated the retirements of three veterans of our organization and we thank them for their dedicated service and wish them well in their future endeavors. Lyle Nybakke- 15 years of dedicated service from 2006-2021 Dan Sargent- 20 years of dedicated service from 2001-2021 Tim Peterson- 23 years of dedicated service from 1998--2021 0 Accomplishments -Completed all annual requirements to maintain Firefighter licensing and certification.

Great progress was made in 2021 and there are hopes to finalize everything in 2022. -Old Tanker-4 (see pic below left) was decommissioned and sold at auction. This ends a multi - decade existence of yellow trucks serving our community and is the last one to ever make its home in our station. It is continuing its fire service life at a small FD in northern Iowa. -The committee spent many, many hours working on New Rescue-8 (see pic below right). This truck will be a multi -purpose unit providing EMS, grass fire fighting capabilities and more. The project is partially built now and will be completed and put into service in early 2022. -Major one-time repairs and maintenance items were required on multiple trucks which was expensive and difficult to incorporate into our annual budget. -Summer duty crews (from Memorial Day to Labor Day) continued with great success. -Added several SCBA air bottles to expand our breathing air capacity for training and fires. s Operational Data Emergency Call Breakdown Year 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 FIRE - 28 47 28 20 42 40 41 33 37 47 57 General FIRE- i 1�) 12 14 12 16 19 17 12 11 Structure Rescues 30 ; 23 47 46 75 81 69 7( 74 81 and MVA Medicals 140 117 109 124 125 156 167 170 155 155 178 Alarms and 112 92 97 116 105 92 83 91 70 85 63 Sprinklers Hazardous 105 96 73 93 87 78 89 64 95 67 60 Condition Other 43 49 47 51 50 48 52 48 39 44 48 Emergency Calls Total Year 1990 1 2000 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 City 156 215 253 317 309 342 348 307 318 332 318 Rural 76 132 136 148 158 163 184 185 145 152 180 Total 232 347 389 465 467 505 532 492 463 484 498 Structure and General Fires Year 2001 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 General 50 61 37 33 52 53 58 44 37 59 68 Fires Firefighter Injuries (per OSHA) Year 1 2011 1 2012 1 2013 2014 1 2015 1 2016 1 2017 1 2018 1 2019 1 2020 2021 Injuries 0 1 4 0 1 0 2 2 1 4 1 Fire Event Fatalities Year 1 2001 2002 1 2003-2010 1 2011 1 2012-2020 2021 Fatalities 1 *3 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 2 Response Time (Alarm to Truck Out the Door) for the City & Rural Fire District Year 2011 1 2012 1 2013 1 2014 1 2015 1 2016 1 2017 1 2018 1 2019 1 2020 2021 Time 5:18 1 3:48 1 3:24 1 3:58 1 4:27 1 5:06 1 5:33 1 6:10 1 5:50 1 5:39 5:17 Officer Only Calls for the City & Rural Fire District Year 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Number of Calls 136 126 106 149 143 156 161 130 130 135 126 Dollars $24,752 $22,932 $19,292 $27,118 $26,026 $30,576 $31,564 $25,480 $25,480 $26,460 $22,932 Saved Hours Saved 2,040 1,890 1,590 2,235 2,145 2,340 2,415 1,950 1,950 2,025 1,890 Estimated Property Value Saved: $3,761,500 Lives Saved: 8 Emerigency Call Hours: City-2,755 Rural- 3,002 Total Training Hours: 3,066 Public Relations and Fire Safety Education Our doors were opend at the station again and we were able to host tours and education events as usual.

The plan incorporated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) guidelines and OSHA standards related to COVID-19 and was updated periodically as these guidelines and standards changed. Formal Council approval was not required when these changes were made within the time frame of the Governor's Emergency Declaration. The most recent updates to the plan were in June 2021. Administration is currently proposing changes to the Plan to incorporate updated recommendations regarding quarantine and return to work time frames for employees sick with or testing positive for COVID-19 and close contact situations. These changes have been reviewed by Administration with the Management Team.

This plan is meant to serve as a global plan for the entire City. Department Directors shall implement similar plans for other city facilities. To ensure that, we have developed the following Preparedness Plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our goal is to mitigate the potential for transmission of COVID-19 in our workplaces and communities. This requires full cooperation among workers and management. Only through this cooperative effort, can we establish and maintain the safety and health of our workers and workplaces. The COVID-19 Preparedness Plan is administered by the City Administrator, who maintains the overall authority and responsibility for the plan. However, management and employees are equally responsible for implementing and complying with all aspects of this Preparedness Plan. The City of Hutchinson directors, managers and supervisors have our full support in enforcing the provisions of this plan. Our Preparedness Plan follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) guidelines and OSHA standards related to COVID-19 and addresses: • Prompt identification and isolation of sick employees and employees exposed to sickness; • Reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace including social distancing protocols • Workplace building and ventilation protocols; • Drop-off, pickup and delivery protections and protocols; • Workplace cleaning and disinfecting protocols; • Worker hygiene and source controls, including face coverings • Communication and training Stay Home if Feeling III Many times, with the best of intentions, employees report to or stay at work even though they feel ill, but employees should not stay at nor report to work if they feel ill due to the current circumstances.

For more information about such arrangements, please contact your supervisor and refer to applicable personnel policies and notices. Workplace Building and Ventilation Protocol The City will take the appropriate steps on a regular basis to insure the workplace and facilities are provided with the necessary sanitation, assessment and maintenance of building systems including water, plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems. This work will include regular inspections to ensure systems are operating appropriately. The City has systems in place to ensure that the maximum amount of fresh air is being brought into the workplace, air recirculation is being limited, and ventilation systems are being properly used and maintained. Employees should take additional steps to minimize airflow blowing across people, which means personal fans will not be allowed. Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization (NPBI) is a measure to combat COVID-19 in today's work environment and is being added to the existing AHU, RTU, or Furnace systems at all the City locations with a number of office staff or large amount of public foot traffic. The device produces non -harmful positive & negative ions which infiltrate the space and attached to airborne particles such as mold, odor, and viruses. Studies have shown to be 99% effective, ultimately improving the indoor air quality. Drop-off, pickup and delivery protections and protocols The City will practice contactless drop-offs and deliveries whenever possible. Drop off boxes for customer utility billing, motor vehicle transactions, and planning and building permits are in place in the City Center lobby and in the City Center parking lot. Contactless deliveries and pick-ups of incoming mail and packages are completed at the City Center customer service window. Plexiglass barriers have been installed to protect employees completing in -person transactions with customers. Reduce the Spread of COVID-19 Basic Hygiene Wash your hands frequently with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds, but especially at the beginning and end of their shift, after using equipment and/or using a city vehicle, prior to any mealtimes, and after using the toilet. All visitors to the facility will be required to wash their hands prior to or immediately upon entering the facility. Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available. • We will provide alcohol -based hand sanitizers throughout the workplace and in common areas. E3 Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow. Throw used tissues in the trash and immediately wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Basic hygiene and hand washing instructions are posted in City Center public and non-public employee areas. Face Coverings Per Minnesota Governor Tim Walz' Emergency Executive Order 21-23 signed on May 14, 2021: • All people who have not been vaccinated are strongly encouraged to wear a face covering in accordance with MDH and CDC recommendations until they are fully vaccinated. Individuals must continue to comply with relevant CDC Orders, as long as those orders remain in effect. This includes the CDC's January 29, 2021 Order requiring face coverings on public transportation, available at https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/masks/mask-travel-guidance.html. The Executive Order should not be construed to prevent the City from developing a policy that imposes more protective requirements with respect to face coverings, consistent with applicable law, than those in this Executive Order or applicable industry guidance. Further guidance on facemasks is available from the CDC here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019- ncov/prevent-getting-sick/d iy-cloth-face-coveri ngs. html Those who feel the desire to wear a mask as a personal health and safety choice should do so and others should respect their choice. Employees should keep a mask handy for those situations where someone may feel more comfortable with both parties being masked. Clean and Disinfect Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as workstations, keyboards, telephones, handrails, doorknobs, city vehicles, or other work tools and equipment. Dirty surfaces can be cleaned with soap and water prior to disinfection. • Cleaning sprays and wipes will also be provided to clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as telephones and keyboards. You should clean these office surfaces daily. An external cleaning service is following a regular schedule for routine cleaning and disinfecting of work surfaces, equipment, and areas in the work environment including, but not limited to, restrooms, break rooms, lunch rooms, meeting rooms, and drop-off and pick-up locations. If an employee is diagnosed with COVID-19 and has recently been in the workplace, the City Center facility will be comprehensively cleaned and disinfected. Social Distancing To reduce the spread of COVID-19, the following social distancing protocols are recommended for City employees: • Maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from other employees, patrons, customers, etc. • Avoid using other employees' phones, desks, offices, or other work tools and equipment, when possible. If necessary, clean and disinfect them before and after use. • If possible, avoid traveling with other employees within a city vehicle. At a minimum, clean and disinfect them before and after use. • Use telephone and video conferencing instead of face-to-face meetings as much as possible during this outbreak. In public customer contact areas where spacing cannot be increased or social distancing consistently maintained, physical plexiglass barriers have been installed to protect employees. Avoid people who are sick with the COVID-19 symptoms or known to have traveled internationally or in a community in which COVID-19 is widespread. Personal Protective Equipment Guidance related to any PPE that should be worn by employees to minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace injuries and illnesses will be communicated to specific positions by supervisors. Disposable gloves are available to employees. Other Measures Different areas of the organization will be taking specific measures to reduce the spread related to the above -items. The City of Hutchinson administration and supervisors will communicate to you such measures. Employee Group -Specific Measures More specific measures may be taken for specific employee groups based on their work, sites, and risk of exposure to illness. We will be continually monitoring how to handle related workplace issues and will update you accordingly. In addition, administration, managers and supervisors will communicate to you any impacted operational issues related to your position. Communications and training This Preparedness Plan will be communicated and training will be provided if needed to all workers. Managers and supervisors are to monitor how effective the program has been implemented. Instructions will be communicated to all workers, including employees, temporary workers, staffing and labor -pools, independent contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and outside customers, clients, patrons, guests, and visitors on protections and protocols, including but not limited to: 1) Social distancing protocols and practices; 2) Drop-off, pick-up, delivery and general in-store shopping; 3) Practices for hygiene and respiratory etiquette; 4) Recommendations or requirements regarding the use of masks, face -coverings, and/or face -shields by workers, customers, clients, patrons, guests, and visitors. All workers, customers, clients, patrons, guests, and visitors will also be advised not to enter the workplace if they are experiencing symptoms or have contracted COVID-19. 10 This Preparedness Plan has been certified by the City of Hutchinson management team and was posted throughout the workplace, online, and on the network. It will be updated as necessary. Nothing in this communication establishes any precedent or practice. The City of Hutchinson may change or eliminate these items, or portions thereof, at any time and without notice. This plan supplements existing employment policies, rules, procedures, and regulations. All current employment policies, rules, procedures, and regulations remain in full effect, except for instances where this plan directly contradicts another current policy, rule, procedure, or regulation in which case this plan supersedes existing policy, rule, procedure, or regulation. Therefore, employees are encouraged to review all other such policies, rules, procedures, and regulations in conjunction with this plan. Please contact Human Resources Director Brenda Ewing at bewing@hutchinsommn.gov, 320-234-4213, or in -person with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your cooperation.

Critical / Essential Workers COVID-19 Plan The City of Hutchinson will consult and consider the following recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) allowing critical and/or essential asymptomatic employees to continue to work following exposure to COVID-19. Decisions regarding the application/implementation of the recommendations will be made jointly by the department director/department head and the City Administrator. CDC Recommendations To ensure continuity of operations of essential functions, the CDC advises that critical infrastructure workers may be permitted to continue work following potential exposure to COVID-19, provided they remain asymptomatic and additional precautions are implemented to protect them and the community. There are 16 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof. Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21): PPD-21 identifies 16 critical infrastructure sectors. Those that are applicable to the City of Hutchinson are: Communications Sector, Dams Sector, Emergency Services Sector, Government Facilities Sector Information Technology Sector, Transportation Systems Sector, and Water and Wastewater Systems Sector A potential exposure means having close contact that is described as follows: Within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24- hour period* starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to test specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated. * Individual exposures added together over a 24-hour period (e.g., three 5-minute exposures for a total of 15 minutes). Data are limited, making it difficult to precisely define "close contact," however, 15 cumulative minutes of exposure at a distance of 6 feet or less can be used as an operational definition for contact investigation. Factors to consider when defining close contact include proximity (closer distance likely increases exposure risk), the duration of exposure (longer exposure time likely increases exposure risk), whether the infected 13 individual has symptoms (the period around onset of symptoms is associated with the highest levels of viral shedding), if the infected person was likely to generate respiratory aerosols (e.g., was coughing, singing, shouting), and other environmental factors (crowding, adequacy of ventilation, whether exposure was indoors or outdoors). Because the general public has not received training on proper selection and use of respiratory PPE, such as an N95, the determination of close contact should generally be made irrespective of whether the contact was wearing respiratory PPE. At this time, differential determination of close contact for those using fabric face coverings is not recommended. Critical Infrastructure workers who have had an exposure but remain asymptomatic should adhere to the following practices prior to and during their work shift: • Pre -Screen: Employers should measure the employee's temperature and assess symptoms prior to them starting work. Ideally, temperature checks should happen before the individual enters the facility. • Regular Monitoring: As long as the employee doesn't have a fever or symptoms, they should self -monitor under the supervision of their employer's occupational health program. • Wear a Mask: The employee should wear a face mask at all times while in the workplace for 14 days after last exposure. Employers can issue facemasks or can approve employees' supplied cloth face coverings in the event of shortages. • Social Distance: The employee should maintain 6 feet and practice social distancing as work duties permit in the workplace. • Disinfect and Clean work spaces: Clean and disinfect all areas such as offices, bathrooms, common areas, shared electronic equipment routinely. If the employee becomes sick during the day, they should be sent home immediately. Surfaces in their workspace should be cleaned and disinfected. Information on persons who had contact with the ill employee during the time the employee had symptoms and 2 days prior to symptoms should be compiled. Others at the facility with close contact within 6 feet of the employee during this time would be considered exposed. Employers should implement the recommendations in the Interim Guidance for Businesses and Employers to Plan and Respond to Coronavirus Disease 2019 to help prevent and slow the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. Additional information about identifying critical infrastructure during COVID-19 can be found on the DHS CISA website external icon or the CDC's specific First Responder Guidance page. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS • Employees should not share headsets or other objects that are near mouth or nose. • Employers should increase the frequency of cleaning commonly touched surfaces. • Employees and employers should consider pilot testing the use of face masks to ensure they do not interfere with work assignments. • Employers should work with facility maintenance staff to increase air exchanges in room. • Employees should physically distance when they take breaks together. Stagger breaks and don't congregate in the break room, and don't share food or utensils. 14 EMPLOYEE AFFIDAVIT OF RECEIPT AND TRAINING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I, , acknowledge that I have received the City (print employee name) of Hutchinson COVID-19 Preparedness Plan dated = February 2022, and that I have been trained on all aspects of the plan.

December 2021 Financial and Investment Reports Agenda Item: Department: Finance LICENSE SECTION Meeting Date: 2/8/2022 Application Complete N/A Contact: Andy Reid Agenda Item Type: Presenter: Reviewed by Staff M Governance Time Requested (Minutes): 0 License Contingency N/A Attachments: Yes BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM: Attached are the preliminary 2021 financial reports for the General fund and Enterprise funds. While the financial activity is mostly complete, there may be some revenues and expenditures yet to be booked as we progress through our audit process. The General fund currently reflects a net surplus of $177,349. This is after a $170,343 transfer of E911 fund balance to the County as part of the dispatch services transfer. The City received $44,690 annually from the State for the E911 services and the balance of unspent funds was to be sent to the County. If not for this transfer, we would have a surplus of $347,692. Building Permit revenues exceeded expectations by $186,714, contributing to the General fund surplus. I will submit for the March 8 council meeting another set of preliminary financial reports that will provide a much more complete picture of the 2021 operations. I will also submit my annual narrative of each fund's operations at that time.
