Newport News Interim Local Resilience Plan Department of Public Works, SOAdmin-006 Infrastructure Maintenance Plan CFPF Resilience Plan Element Document’s Relationship to CFPF Resilience Plan Element 6 Debris Management The plan addresses the process and responsibility for debris management for the City's natural and built infrastructure. The Infrastructure Maintenance Plan describes the inventory, inspection, maintenance, and cleaning programs that ensure the City's public stormwater facilities and infrastructure function as designed and are operable during storm events. Ensuring preventative and corrective maintenance is performed properly and promptly on stormwater infrastructure reduces the City's vulnerability to the adverse effects of flooding and storm events. Repetitive Loss Plan CFPF Resilience Plan Element Document’s Relationship to CFPF Resilience Plan Element 4 Flooding / Repetitive Loss This plan identifies areas of repetitive loss throughout the entire city, not just in the SFHA. The Repetitive Loss Plan identifies specific neighborhoods and properties within the City that have a repetitive history of flooding damage and are at risk of flooding again (Figure 1: Newport News Repetitive Loss Neighborhood Map). This plan maps these neighborhoods and provides recommendations for mitigation approaches to implement to help prevent these properties from continuing to flood (Table 3: Citywide Mitigation Strategies). This plan helps to prevent future property damage and will decrease future flooding repair expenditures. Substantial Damage Plan CFPF Resilience Plan Element Document’s Relationship to CFPF Resilience Plan Element 7 Substantial Structural This plan includes procedures for substantial improvements of damaged structures within the SFHA. Improvement 8 Regional Coordination & This plan includes protocols for post-disaster event coordination and communication. Schedule The Substantial Damage Plan outlines the steps involved in the substantial damage process and the methods to ensure that post-disaster substantial damage responsibilities are met. If the damage to a property is defined as "substantial" as identified by an official city inspection, the property must be repaired to comply with the current flood code and regulations. This repair helps prevent repetitive and future loss at properties that are initially vulnerable to flood damage. These proactive steps help protect the City from further negative impacts of future flooding. 25 | P a g e
