Title
Lummi
Nation
multi-hazard
mitigation
plan
Publisher
Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation, Washington. Water Resource Division
Date
2007
Summary
The
purpose
of this
Lummi
Nation
Multi-Hazard
Mitigation
Plan
(MHMP)
is
to
guide
current
and
future
efforts
to
effectively
and
efficiently
mitigate
the
impacts
of
natural
hazards
on the
Lummi
Indian
Reservation
(Reservation)
.
It
shall
also
guide
efforts
to
mitigate
and
respond
to
natural
hazards
that are
generated
off
of the
Reservation
or that
cross
Reservation
boundaries
in
coordination
with
other
agencies
and
jurisdictions
as
appropriate
. The
Lummi
Nation
finds
that
natural
hazards
on the
Reservation
have a
direct
,
serious
, and
substantial
effect
on the
political
integrity
,
economic
security
,
health
, and
welfare
of the
Lummi
Nation
, its
members
, and
all
persons
present
on the
Reservation
.
Further
, the
Lummi
Nation
finds
that those
activities
that
potentially
increase
the
frequency
or
severity
of
damages
from
natural
hazards
, if
left
unregulated
or
unaddressed
, will
eventually
cause
such
damages
.
Accordingly
, the
Lummi
Natural
Resources
Department
(LNR)
and the
Lummi
Planning
Department
are
developing
the
MHMP
for the
Reservation
. The
goals
of the
Lummi
Nation
MHMP
are to:
1
.
Reduce
the
threats
to
public
health
and
safety
posed
by
natural
hazards
;
2
.
Reduce
the
structural
damages
caused
by
natural
hazards
;
3
.
Reduce
the
environmental
impacts
of
natural
hazards
,
mitigation
actions
, and
future
development
activities
; and
4
.
Reduce
the
long-term
costs
resulting
from
natural
hazards
and their
mitigation
. The
objectives
of the
MHMP
are the
following
:
1
.
Discourage
new
development
in
areas
that are
vulnerable
to
hazards
or
ensure
that
development
occurs
in
such
a
way
that
risk
is
minimized
;
2
.
Protect
or
alter
existing
development
in
hazardous
areas
to
make
it
less
susceptible
to
damage
;
3
.
Ensure
that the
solution
chosen
to
protect
existing
development
is
the
most
costeffective
available
;
protects
or
enhances
cultural
resources
,
natural
resources
, and
sensitive
terrestrial
,
riparian
, or
coastal
habitats
; and
is
consistent
with
applicable
land
use
plans
and
regulations
;
4
.
Ensure
that the
benefits
of
maintaining
existing
facilities
outweigh
the
costs
; if not,
redesign
facilities
to
make
them
less
susceptible
to
damage
or
implement
some
other
type
of
solution
at the
site
;
5
.
Redesign
existing
projects
and/or
change
maintenance
practices
to
protect
or
enhance
riparian
or
coastal
habitats
;
6
.
Manage
floodplains
,
rivers
,
streams
, and
other
water
resources
for
multiple
uses
,
including
flood-
and
erosion-hazard
reduction
,
fish
and
wildlife
habitat
,
finfish
and
shellfish
harvesting
,
open
space
,
recreation
,
water
supply
,
cultural/traditional
practices
, and
hydropower
;
7
.
Improve
coordination
and
consistency
between
the
Lummi
Nation
and
other
jurisdictions
, as
appropriate
, in
management
activities
for
floodplain
and
coastal
areas
;
8
.
Increase
public
awareness
of
natural
hazards
and
improve
appropriate
preparation
for and
response
to
such
hazards
; and
9
.
Improve
hazard
warning
and
emergency
response
systems
. To
reduce
hazard
damages
and to
achieve
the
MHMP
goals
and
objectives
,
appropriate
mitigation
measures
must
be
effectively
applied
.
One
such
measure
is
the
Land
Use
,
Development
, and
Zoning
Code
,
Title
15
of the
Lummi
Nation
Code
of
Laws
.
Title
15
reduces
hazards
by
ensuring
that
all
proposed
development
activity
on the
Reservation
is
first
reviewed
for
potential
environmental
impacts
before
it
is
authorized
. The
Lummi
Nation
Title
15A
Flood
Damage
Prevention
Code
(FDPC)
further
addresses
flood
hazards
on the
Reservation
and the
Lummi
Nation
Coastal
Zone
Management
Plan
controls
activities
in the
coastal
zone
. The
Lummi
Nation
Building
Code
,
Title
22
of the
Lummi
Nation
Code
of
Laws
,
ensures
that
structures
are
constructed
in a
manner
such
that they will be
safer
for
people
during
a
disaster
. These
codes
are
administered
by the
Lummi
Planning
Department
. To
guide
future
land
uses
on the
Reservation
, the
Planning
Department
is
also
developing
a
Comprehensive
Plan
. In
addition
, the
Lummi
Natural
Resources
Department
administers
the
Water
Resources
Protection
Code
,
Title
17
of the
Lummi
Nation
Code
of
Laws
, as
part
of its
Comprehensive
Water
Resources
Management
Program
(CWRMP)
. The
CWRMP
includes
wellhead
protection
,
storm
water
management
,
wetland
management
,
nonpoint
source
pollution
management
, and
water
quality
standards
programs
. The
MHMP
for the
Reservation
supports
and
complements
these
existing
programs
and
activities
and
promotes
continued
involvement
in
off-Reservation
,
hazard
mitigation-related
activities
.
