2 Section 1: Introduction Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative (Lewis County or LCREC) was established in 1936 to provide electric services to the rural areas of northeast Missouri. A Touchstone Energy Cooperative, Lewis County REC is headquartered in Lewistown, Missouri. It provides services to 7 counties in Missouri Lewis, Clark, Knox, Marion, Shelby, Adair, and Scotland. The cooperative is run by a Board of nine directors. These directors approve the company s internal business policies. Lewis County strives to provide reliable electric power and outstanding service to our members at a reasonable cost. Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative s service boundaries include Lewis, Clark, and Knox counties in their entirety as well as portions of Adair, Shelby, Scotland, and Marion counties and the northern portion of Marion County. Figure 1 depicts the geographic boundaries of the cooperative in relation to USGS local quadrangles within the state of Missouri. (Map sources: MISDIS, Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative.) Figure 1 Lewis County Rural Electric Boundaries Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative has approximately 5,200 members and a total of 7,048 total meters. Residential customers account for 90% of the membership. The remaining 10% are non residential. Table 1 provides the summary of metered customers by Missouri County. LCREC Page 2

4 Critical Facilities It is important in mitigation planning for the Electric Cooperatives to identify the critical facilities in each area and to be able to prioritize reconnection and back-up power needs. LCREC provides service to critical facilities as follows: two nursing homes; Lewis County Sheriff s Department and 911 office; medical facilities to the heartland community; six water districts; and four cell phone towers. Future Development Lewis County Rural Electric has no plans for future development in their service area. Table 2 below illustrates the population trend for the counties served by LCREC.

5 Section 2: Asset Inventory Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative has a wide variety of assets by type. Real estate owned by the company includes office buildings, warehouses, garages, and other outbuildings throughout the service area. Nineteen vehicles provide access to customers and infrastructure. LCREC does not own any electric generation or transmission infrastructure. LCREC owns and maintains 2,494 miles of distribution line. Table 3 provides information concerning total asset valuation.

7 Section 3: Risk Assessment Risk Assessment Methodology The risk assessment methodology used in the following section was utilized for both the statewide aggregation as well as for each individual cooperative chapter. Section 4 of the Statewide Summary details this methodology. Some variation in the availability of data exists between the electric cooperatives as each utilizes a different system of recording the impact of natural disasters. Any differentiation from the process below is explained in the individual cooperative s chapter as necessary. For the purpose of this risk assessment, the identified hazards for the LCREC service area have been divided into two categories: historical and non-historical hazards. Based on the data collected for the update, the hazards have been reclassified to reflect the actual data available and those hazards with no data available have been reclassified as non-historical. This does not mean that a non-historical hazard will never cause damage; it just means there have been no impacts prior to this report. The potential still exists, but the probability of the occurrence is numerically near zero. For the analysis in this plan nonhistorical hazard probability is stated as less than one. Historical Hazards are those hazards with a measurable previous impact upon the service area. Damage costs per event and a chronology of occurrences are available. The associated vulnerability assessments utilize the number of events and cost of each event to establish an average cost per incident. For LCREC, hazards with historical data include tornadoes, severe thunderstorms/high wind/hail, flood and levee failure, and severe winter weather. Non-historical Hazards are hazards with no previous record of impact upon the local service area. As such, the associated vulnerability assessments for each of these hazards will have an occurrence probability of less than 1% in any given year, but the extent of damage will vary considerably. For LCREC, hazards without historical data include earthquakes, dam failure and wildfire. Each hazard has a unique impact upon the service area, requiring each hazard to utilize a different valuation amount depending upon the level of impact. Non-historical hazards assume damage to all general assets. For Historical Hazards, assets were divided into two groups based upon historical impact which were utilized in the hazard damage analysis: Overhead infrastructure assets and buildings o Used for Tornado damage assessments Valued at $79,400,000 Overhead infrastructure assets only o Used for: Severe Thunderstorm / High Wind / Hail Flood Severe Winter Weather Valued at $71,500,000 LCREC Page 7

8 A. Historical Hazards Tornadoes Previous Occurrences From 1950 through 2016, 39 tornadoes have been reported within the Lewis County cooperative boundaries. Figure 3 provides a pictorial representation of all recorded tornado touchdown sites and recorded paths. (Data for map collected from NOAA & MSDIS.) Figure 3 Tornado Map For the purpose of this assessment, the years for which tornado damage records exist for LCREC have been used. From , the service area experienced a total of 24 tornadic events. LCREC Page 8

9 Probability of Future Occurrence and Vulnerability The probability of a tornadic event in the Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative service area in any given year is 96%. Estimated cooperative material damages associated with each of these events were compiled by LCREC staff. Fifteen of the twenty four occurrences caused damage to cooperative assets, resulting in a 62.5% probability that any given tornadic occurrence will produce damage. In any given year, there is a 60% probability that a damaging tornado will affect LCREC s assets. Table 5 provides a summary of event dates, EF-scale ratings, damage cost estimates and outages reported. Table 5 LCREC Tornadic Event Summary Date of Event EF Scale Rating Damage Estimates Outages Reported 5/13/1995 F2 $6, /30/1997 F0 $12, /7/1998 F1 $2, /14/1998 F0 $1, /8/1999 F2 $5, /8/1999 F2 $18, /10/2003 F2 $2, /10/2003 F0 $3, /10/2003 F0 $1, /10/2003 F2 $73, /30/2008 F1 $1, /13/2009 F0 $52, /27/2011 F1 $2, /25/12 F1 $5, /27/16 F1 $10, Totals $194, Data provided based on internal LCREC records which reflect cost from the referenced event year. Based upon the last twenty five years of historical event records, tornado events will cause an average annual damage of $7,760. This averaged amount accounts for less than 0.01% of LCREC s total overhead assets and building valuation of $79,400,000. An average annual of 21 outages were recorded during tornadoes since the beginning of When compared with the total number of meters served by Lewis County, it can be projected that 0.3% of all meters may experience outages during any given year due to a tornadic event. Problem Statement Tornadoes are potentially such violent events that it is cost prohibitive to build an infrastructure that can withstand such powerful winds. Strategies could be developed or improved, if already in place, to ensure that employees are warned of approaching storms when in the field. Procedures to restore power after outages should be reviewed regularly to ensure that power is restored to critical facilities as quickly as possible. LCREC Page 9

10 Severe Thunderstorms, High Wind, and Hail Previous Occurrences From , LCREC s service area within the Counties of Clark, Knox and Lewis experienced 94 days of hail events which resulted in estimated property damages of over $2 million reported to NOAA. During this same 25 year period there were 109 days of reported severe thunderstorm/high wind events. Probability of Future Occurrence and Vulnerability The average annual number of days of hail storms is 3.8. Estimated material damages associated with each of these events were compiled by LCREC Staff. There were 24 days with at least one hail event that caused damage. The probability that damage will occur on any given day of hail events is 25.5%. Twenty four days with damaging events in 25 years is a 96% probability of a damaging hail event(s) in any given year. Table 6 provides a summary of those hail events which caused damage to cooperative infrastructure by date, cost estimate of damage, and reported outages. Table 6 LCREC Hail Event Damage Summary Event Date Damage Estimates Outages Reported 5/24/1994 $500 1 $2, /18/1996 $ /5/1997 $2, /11/1999 $ /4/1999 $1, /22/2001 $ /8/2003 $2, /17/2004 $ /4/2005 $1, /18/2005 $1, /11/2008 $1, /30/2008 $2, /15/2008 $ /15/2009 $ /4/2010 $ /12/2010 $750 3 $ /4/2010 $1, /10/2011 $ /25/2012 $3, /20/2013 $1, /3/2014 $2, /7/2015 $9, /10/2015 $5, /27/2016 $5,000 7 Totals $46, Data provided based on internal LCREC records which reflect cost from the referenced event year. LCREC Page 10

11 Based upon historical records, the average hail event to affect the cooperative will cause an average annual damage of $1,872. This averaged amount accounts for less than 0.01% of LCREC s total overhead asset valuation of $79,400,000. An average annual of eight outages were recorded during hail events since When compared with the total number of meters served by Lewis County, it can be projected that less than 1% of the total number of 7,048 meters may experience outages during any given year due to a hail event. Table 7 provides the information for thunderstorm/high wind events. Table 7 LCREC Thunderstorm/High Wind Event Summary Event Date Damage Estimates Outages Reported 5/17/91 $1, /2/92 $ /30/93 $ /2/93 $7, /18/95 $5, /16/95 $3, /5/97 $ /18/98 $ /6/99 $1, /3/01 $ /14/03 $5, /5/03 $2, /4/05 $ /8/05 $ /2/06 $ /24/06 $1, /2/06 $1, /8/07 $2, /12/07 $ /27/08 $500 4 $1, /27/08 $2, /23/09 $1, /7/10 $1, /24/10 $2, /27/11 $90, $75, /16/2012 $2, /19/2013 $2, /10/14 $2, /22/14 $27, /7/14 $7, /13/15 $75,000 2,242 Totals $324,475 2,876 Data provided based on internal LCREC records which reflect cost from the referenced event year. LCREC Page 11

12 Based upon historical records, high wind events will cause an average annual damage of $12,979. This averaged amount accounts for less than 0.02% of LCREC s total overhead asset valuation of $79,400,000. An average annual of 115 outages were recorded during high wind events since When compared with the total number of meters served by Lewis County, it can be projected that 1.6% of meters may experience outages during any given year due to a high wind event. Problem Statement Thunderstorms producing hail and high winds are events that occur several times each year in the service area. Since the trend has been towards more intense storms over the last decade, replacing wooden poles with manufactured ones whenever possible is recommended. Flood and Levee Failure Flood and levee failure carry a potential threat to the existing infrastructure of the Lewis County Electric Cooperative. Unfortunately for the LCREC, there is insufficient data to provide a figure which would represent the percentage of the cooperative service area located directly within the 100 year floodplain. Currently, inundation data for levee failure is lacking due to issues surrounding mapping, appropriate models, and its close association with flooding events. Figure 4 provides a visual representation of existing levees within the LCREC service area (Map sources: Lewis County Emergency Management Agency, Lewis County Commission, MSDIS.) Figure 4 Levee Map LCREC Page 12

13 Previous Occurrences From , LCREC s service area within the Counties of Clark, Knox and Lewis experienced 85 days of flooding events including both riverine and flash floods. Currently, no data concerning levee failure damage can be separated from flood damage data. Probability of Future Occurrence and Vulnerability The average annual number of a flood events occurring in any given year is 3.4. Estimated material damages associated with each of these events were compiled by LCREC staff. Table 8 summarizes flood event dates by month, damage cost estimates, and reported outages. Table 8 LCREC Flood Event Summary Event Date Damage Outages Estimates Reported 6/24/93 $5, /14/93 $15, /15/95 $6, /1/96 $ /15/01 $ /23/01 $3, /6/02 $1, /11/02 $ /5/03 $2, /8/03 $2,000 6 $2, /27/04 $1, /2/08 $10, $7, /3/08 $17, $2, /30/09 $1, /15/09 $1, /17/09 $ /13/10 $5, /14/10 $2, /22/10 $2, /19/10 $2, /21/10 $1, /18/11 $1, /18/13 $5, /10/14 $1, /25/15 $5, /26/15 $30, Totals $135, Data provided based on internal LCREC records which reflect cost from the referenced event year. LCREC Page 13

14 With 26 days of damaging occurrences out of the 85 days of flood events, there is a 30.6% probability that any flood will affect LCREC. The average annual of a damaging flood over the 25 years is slightly over one event. Flood and levee failure events vary widely based upon numerous factors including, but not limited to, annual precipitation and extent of levee damage. Based upon historical records, flood events will cause an average annual damage of $5,410. This averaged amount accounts for less than 0.01 % of LCREC s overhead asset valuation of $71,500,000. An average annual of 27 outages were recorded during flooding events since When compared with the total number of meters (7,048) served by Lewis County, it can be projected that 0.4 percent of all meters may report outages during any given year due to a flooding event. Problem Statement With numerous flood-prone rivers crossing its area, LCREC needs to waterproof assets when possible. Severe Winter Weather Previous Occurrences From , LCREC s service area within the Counties of Clark, Knox and Lewis experienced 68 days of severe winter weather events, including blizzards, heavy snowfalls and ice storms. The winter/ice storm at the end of January 2002 resulted in a Federal Disaster Declaration which included the service area. Probability of Future Occurrence and Vulnerability The probability of severe winter weather in the Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative service area in any given year is 100% with an average annual of 2.7 days of events. There were 38 days with damaging winter weather, resulting in a 55.9% probability that a severe winter event will affect LCREC. The average annual of damage causing winter storms is 1.5 days of events. Estimated material damages associated with each of these events were compiled by LCREC staff. Table 9 provides a summary of event dates, types, associated damage estimates, and reported outages. Table 9 LCREC Severe Winter Weather Event Summary Event Date Event Type Damage Estimates Outages Reported 2/24/93 Heavy Snow $5, /6/94 Ice Storm $1, /18/95 Heavy Snow $38, /8/97 Winter Storm $2, /15/97 Winter Storm $4, /10/97 Winter Storm $ /9/97 Winter Storm $ /21/98 Winter Storm $2, /1/99 Heavy Snow $2, /15/99 Winter Storm $1,000 6 LCREC Page 14

Based upon these historical records, severe winter weather events will cause an average annual damage of $7,410. This averaged amount accounts for 0.01% of LCREC s total overhead asset valuation of $71,500,000. An average annual of 106 outages were recorded during severe winter weather events since When compared with the total number of meters served by Lewis County REC, it can be projected that 1.5% of all meters may experience outages during any given year due to a severe winter weather event. Problem Statement Underground placement of assets remains the best protection against damage from ice storms. LCREC Page 15

16 B. Non-historical Hazards Wildfire Previous Occurrences The incidence of wildfire in the LCREC service area presents a unique risk assessment. Wildfire events have occurred in each of the seven counties; however, Adair, Marion, Scotland and Shelby Counties are not included in this hazard s assessment since LCREC only serves small areas in those counties with a total of 5.8% of its total number of meters located there. Error! Reference source not found. summarizes the incidences of wildfire within the remaining three counties which LCREC serves in their entireties. Table 10 Wildfire Summary by County County # of Wildfires, Average Annual # of Wildfires Acres Burned Average Annual Acres Burned Total Buildings Damaged Clark Knox Lewis , Totals: , Source: Missouri State Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013 Probability of Future Occurrence and Vulnerability The probability of a wildfire event in the LCREC service area in any given year is 100% with an average annual of 25 wildfires throughout the three-county area. Although LCREC does not have records of any significant damage from wildfires, for the purposes of this assessment, wildfire and its associated impacts cannot be eliminated from the realm of possibility. The potential extent of damage caused by wildfire is difficult to determine. Like earthquakes and dam failure, wildfires have had no measurable impact upon the LCREC service area. Cooperative assets are located throughout the service area rather than being located at a single central site. With an average annual of 216 acres burned in the area, and a total three-county area of 979,200 acres, it is unlikely that infrastructure damage would exceed one percent based upon asset location and the unlikeliness of an uncontrollable wildfire. No customers have reported outages during recorded wildfires. When compared with the total number of customers (5,200) served by LCREC, it can be projected that less than 1 percent of all customers may report outages during any given wildfire event. Problem Statement Further study will be required to create a model for damage assessments related to wildfire. LCREC Page 16

17 Earthquakes Previous Occurrences The closest source of earthquake risk in northeast Missouri is the New Madrid Fault located in extreme southeast Missouri, which has, according to many experts, the potential to produce the largest earthquakes in North America. Undoubtedly, this fault has the potential to affect the LCREC service area in its entirety. In addition, there have been several small, virtually undetectable earth movements in the region in recent history, which may or may not be attributed to the aforementioned fault lines or other, very small faults located nearby. On February 8, 2004, a pair of earthquakes centered near Paris, Missouri was recorded. The magnitudes of these events were 2.3 and 2.9 and occurred about 35 miles southwest of LCREC. Probability of Future Occurrence and Vulnerability The New Madrid fault has the potential to cause damage throughout the state of Missouri, including the LCREC service area. Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Center for Earthquake Research and Information (CERI) at the University of Memphis have estimated the probability of a magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquake from the New Madrid Fault is 25-40% through the year The projected earthquake intensity ratings for the cooperative region changes based upon the Modified Mercalli Scale. Given a New Madrid earthquake with a 6.7 magnitude, the region would experience Level V intensity characteristics. In the event of an earthquake with a 7.6 magnitude, the region would experiences Level VI intensity characteristic while an earthquake with an 8.6 magnitude would most likely cause Level VII intensity characteristics. In the event of an earthquake with a 7.6 magnitude, the LCREC service area would most likely experience minor building damage as well as damage to the electrical distribution system. This damage, however, would most likely be relatively minimal and localized when compared with the southeast corner of the state. Distribution lines overhead and underground could become disconnected or severed, and transformers could be damaged. Based upon information from CERI, FEMA, and SEMA, it may be estimated that 705 customers could report outages related to an earthquake event. When compared with the total number of customers served by LCREC, it can be projected that up to 10% of all customers may report outages during any given seismic event. Problem Statement Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative should strive to meet seismic design standards for electrical substation equipment and other overhead assets susceptible to damage from earthquake events. Dam Failure Like earthquakes, dam failures have had no measurable impact upon the LCREC service area to date. According to Missouri DNR s Dam Safety Division, 477 dams are within the counties served, however, only 300 dams currently exist within the cooperative boundaries: 0 in Adair County, 54 in Clark County, 157 in Lewis County, 0 in Marion County, 5 in Shelby County, 1 in Scotland County, and 83 in Knox LCREC Page 17

18 County. Of these dams, 13 are regulated by the state due to the fact that they are non-agricultural, nonfederal dams which exceed 35 feet in height. Figure 5 shows the locations of all known dams located within Lewis County s service area. (Map sources: Figure 5 Dam Map Previous Occurrences Twenty-six dam failures have occurred within the state of Missouri over the past 100 years. However, no such event has occurred within or near the cooperative s boundaries. Probability of Future Occurrence and Vulnerability For the purposes of this assessment, dam failure and its associated impacts cannot be eliminated from the realm of possibility. In order to allow for a risk assessment, the probability of this event has been included as less than 1%. Determining the potential extent of dam failure is currently impossible due to a lack of data concerning inundation zones. Based on discussions with LCREC staff on location of infrastructure relative to dams, LCREC Page 18

19 this assessment assumes a limited impact upon downstream electric distribution infrastructure of less than 10% for both infrastructure damage and service interruption. Problem Statement Further study concerning existing dams and the impact of their failure is required to make a more comprehensive assessment of potential damages and mitigation strategies to address this potential hazard. LCREC Page 19

20 C. Risk Assessment Summary Most of the historical hazards have had an impact on the electric cooperatives. Table 11 below shows the annual damages associated with each hazard for LCREC. The table is ranked by the highest Average Annual Damages which is an indication of the vulnerability to each hazard. Table 11 LCREC Hazard Risk Summary Hazard Average Annual Damages Severe Thunderstorms, and High Winds $12,979 Tornadoes $7,760 Severe Winter Weather $7,410 Flood and Levee Failure $5,410 Hail $1,872 Dam Failure $0 Earthquakes $0 Wildfire $0 Each of the non-historical hazards Wildfire, Earthquakes and Dam Failure has the potential for causing catastrophic damages in any given year. To date there have been zero damages to the assets of the Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative from the non-historical events. Nonetheless, this set of hazards should be considered in mitigation strategies because of the damage potential. LCREC Page 20

21 Section 4: Mitigation Strategies Previous Mitigation Efforts For organizations like LCREC, mitigation is considered to be part of prudent business operations. In order to ensure the delivery of a quality product and minimize service interruptions, a number of mitigation strategies are continually utilized. Routine maintenance and upgrades to existing equipment are completed as part of daily tasks. Vegetation management is utilized to limit the cascading effects of natural hazards. Safety and reporting information are disseminated to the public through various types of media. Mutual aid agreements and partnerships create relationships which provide for future support in the event of a natural disaster. Additionally, mitigation is considered prior to any expansion of service into special hazard areas. Before any service is built, it is first staked out in coordination with local builders and property owners. This process, completed by the Line Superintendent and contracted engineers, identifies and addresses foreseeable hazards and safety issues before any new service lines area constructed. USDA-RUS specifications regarding operation and safety are utilized in every step of the process. Steps are taken to practically minimize the exposure of equipment to loss due to foreseeable hazards, particularly flooding. Customers who reside in the floodplain are not charged for repairs or losses associated with flooding unless they purposefully destroy or restrict the cooperative from protecting their distribution system assets. Existing and Potential Resources As stated above, mitigation is a key component of good business practices. Lewis County Rural Electric Cooperative includes mitigation strategies as part of regular work activities to ensure service with minimal interruptions. Funding for these activities is provided through the cooperative s normal budgetary process for maintenance. In order to expand mitigation efforts beyond normal maintenance, it is likely that LCREC will need to seek outside funding sources. These may include private, state, or federal programs which provide grant and loan funding. Upon passage of this plan, LCREC will be eligible for funding through FEMA in the following categories: Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Flood Mitigation Assistance Program Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program 406 Stafford Act USDA Economic Development Grants Review of Goals, Objectives, and Actions The LCREC mitigation staff reviewed the goals, actions, and objectives from the original plan which addressed hazard mitigation issues. They evaluated each action to decide if it was completed, will be continued, or should be deleted. There also was the opportunity to add goals, objectives or new actions. The staff considered which type of actions will maximize benefits and minimizes costs, how mitigation strategies will be implemented, and how the overall plan will be maintained and updated. Table 12 lists LCREC Page 21

22 the original goals and objectives as presented in the 2012 plan, and in the last column, as reviewed in the 2017 plan update. Table 12 LCREC Goals and Objectives Identified Goals-2012 Goal 1: Protect the health and safety of the community. Goal 2: Reduce future losses due to natural hazard events. Goal 3: Improve emergency management capabilities and enhance local partnerships. Goal 4: to promote public awareness and education. Identified Objectives-2012 : Prevent injury, loss of life, and damage to property. : Reduce outage time to critical facilities. : Protect and maintain existing infrastructure. : Research and develop plans for future infrastructure improvements, seeking implementation where feasible. Objective 3: Research and develop plans for future communication and data collection improvements where feasible. : Improve assessment of outages and reduce response time. : Create or maintain partnerships with outside agencies. : Utilize media resources to promote public education. : interaction with local schools and civic groups. Reassessment of the Goal/Objective Accept, as is Accept, as is Accept, as is Accept, as is Accept, as is Accept, as is Accept, as is Accept, as is Accept, as is Traditionally, the STAPLEE (Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Environmental, and Economic) method is used to prioritize mitigation actions. These categories, however, do not necessarily align with the private sector in the same way they are applicable to governmental agencies. A number of action items could be included with multiple goals and objectives, for example. As a result, the cooperatives chose to use a different method to prioritize their mitigation strategy. After reviewing ongoing and potential action items, the action items were placed in one of three priority tiers: First tier actions focus on physical infrastructure protection and improvements which ensure continued, quality service and seek to reduce power outages. These types of actions are the highest priority of LCREC. Second tier actions create and maintain working relationships to reduce and prevent the impact of power outages. These include improvements to safety and reporting information, mutual aid LCREC Page 22

23 agreements, and other efforts which seek to expand and improve both customer service and disaster planning. Third tier actions identify potential projects for other system improvements. These include mapping efforts, technological improvements, and research related to the expansion of mitigation efforts. Actions within each tier may be funded through regular budgetary methods or identified outside sources. The final component of reviewing the proposed and existing mitigation strategies was to perform a costbenefit analysis of all mitigation actions. The analysis was based on past experiences of performing certain actions and the potential number of beneficiaries. The following matrix, Table 13, was used to rate each mitigation action. Cooperative staff was asked in the Goals, Objectives and Actions Survey to review the cost-benefit rating and change if necessary. Table 13 Cost Benefit Matrix COST BENEFIT High Medium Low High Medium Low The following tables represent the completed 2017 review of current and potential mitigation strategies. Each strategy has assigned a cost benefit score assigned by the cooperative staff based on prior experience and professional opinions. Tables 14, Table 15, and Table 16 provide lists of action items by tier (1, 2 and 3 respectively), the goals and objectives identified with each, and the results of the cost-benefit analysis. The tables have been updated through the Goals, Objectives and Actions Survey that was sent to LCREC to facilitate the staff update review. The Survey can be found in Appendix C. Staff members reviewed each item on the original tables and determined the current status of the item. The Hazards Addressed by This Action column was not included in the 2012 plan; this information has been added into the 2017 plan update for each Action Item. LCREC Page 23

30 Section 5: Plan Implementation and Maintenance Plan Incorporation The goals, objectives, and actions of the previous section identify both ongoing efforts at mitigation and potential methods for expanding efforts. The updated plan has been reviewed and adopted by the Board of Directors as part of the company s operations policy. This mitigation plan necessitates involvement from every LCREC employment level as the organization strives to ensure quality service to their customers. Local Planning Capabilities Some internal planning capabilities do exist at Lewis County REC. The Hazard Mitigation Plan can be considered and/or incorporated into regular budgetary planning, the four-year work plan for capital improvements, and the maintenance planning policy. Planning capabilities per se for the electric cooperatives are limited. What is important is that the Action Items developed through the mitigation planning process are incorporated into the daily activities of the cooperative. The four year work plans embrace the mitigation efforts that are in the mitigation plan. The electric cooperatives across Missouri are always working to strengthen their systems. This would include installing stronger/larger poles when smaller ones need to be changed out, installing stronger/larger conductors that can carry more weight and decreasing span lengths between poles, installing larger anchors, relocating structures out of flood plains, and installing structures to stop cascading during ice storms. Other capabilities are unique to the electric cooperative s business of providing reliable electricity to their members. Many of the Action Items listed in the plan include tree trimming plans, use of GPS to locate outages, service upgrades to lines and poles, warning systems and use of weather radios, collection of GIS data and utility specific software for locating and rerouting outages to restore power, all contribute to local capabilities. Integration of LCREC s planning with local law enforcement, mutual aid agreements, and partnerships with local emergency management resources ensures power to critical facilities during a hazard event. This coordination and cooperation broadens the capabilities of the local cooperative. Beyond the Lewis County Rural Electric Hazard Mitigation Plan, regional planning capabilities exist at the local level. County emergency management directors have Local Emergency Operations Plans which seek to mitigate the same hazards for residents within the counties served by LCREC. These same counties are also included in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) as well as a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). LCREC s plan can be easily incorporated into these local plans and allow for coordination across agencies in the event of an emergency. Plan Maintenance Lewis County REC will follow the requirements coordinated by the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives (AMEC) for monitoring, evaluating, and updating the plan. d Public Involvement Opportunities Public notice was given in the form a notice in the Rural Missouri, a publication of the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives, distributed to all cooperative members. The updated 2017 plans were LCREC Page 30

31 posted on the website of the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments for public review and comment. Comments were considered and addressed. Once all cooperative plans were completed, they were assembled into one plan and submitted to the State Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for review and approval. The documentation for public involvement and comments can be found in Appendix B of each cooperative s section of the plan. Lewis County REC will follow to the requirements coordinated by the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives (AMEC) for continued public involvement. Opportunities for public comment will continue to be offered through various media outlets and the physical office of LCREC. LCREC Page 31
