Box 711, Moravia, NY 13118 Phone Number: [PHONE REDACTED] Fax Number: [PHONE REDACTED] Email address: [EMAIL REDACTED] PROFILE Population According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the estimated Village of Moravia population was 1,282. The Village of Moravia is one of the 9 villages in Cayuga County. Location The Village of Moravia is located at the south town line of the Town of Moravia, south of Owasco Lake. Brief History The Village of Moravia was the site of a native village before being settled as part of the Central New York Military Tract. The first settlers arrived around 1789, while the land was still part of Onondaga County and was referred to as the Owasco Flats. Cayuga County was formed in 1799, and that same year the Town of Sempronius was established to include the land of present-day Moravia. The Town of Moravia was set apart from Sempronius in 1833, and incorporated as an independent town in 1837. The Village of Moravia was incorporated in 1837 and re-incorporated in 1859 when enlarged (Scarry, 2008). Governing Body Format Home rule is strong in New York State and thus, each town and village has its own governing body. Towns are made up of a Town Board and Supervisor. The Villages all have a Village Mayor, Clerk, and Village Board. Along with town and village roads, any public water and sewer systems are operated by the local municipality, though they may cooperate with County departments. Each municipality has charge over its own planning and zoning and uses Cayuga County personnel as a resource (Cayuga County, 2010). Growth/Development Trends The jurisdiction noted that there is no major residential/commercial development or major infrastructure development that has been identified for the next five years in the municipality. Growth is limited by available space and flood zones. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.20: VILLAGE OF MORAVIA DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan –Cayuga County, New York 9.20-2 August 2013 NATURAL HAZARD EVENT HISTORY Cayuga County has a history of natural hazard events as detailed in Volume I, Section 5 of this plan.

These classifications can be viewed as a gauge of the community’s capabilities in all phases of emergency management (preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation) and are used as an underwriting parameter for determining the costs of various forms of insurance. The CRS class applies to flood insurance while the BCEGS and Public Protection classifications apply to standard property insurance. CRS classifications range on a scale of 1 to 10 with class one being the best possible classification, and class 10 representing no classification benefit. Firewise classifications include a higher classification when the subject property is located beyond 1000 feet of a creditable fire hydrant and is within 5 road miles of a recognized Fire Station. Criteria for classification credits are outlined in the following documents: The Community Rating System Coordinators Manual The Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule The ISO Mitigation online ISO’s Public Protection website at http://www.isomitigation.com/ppc/0000/ppc0001.html The National Weather Service Storm Ready website at http://www.weather.gov/stormready/howto.htm The National Firewise Communities website at http://firewise.org/ F. MITIGATION STRATEGY F.1) Past Mitigation Actions/Status The village has completed the following mitigation actions: Dredging of Owasco Inlet by Cayuga County and State. Recently, the village completed a stormwater mitigation plan on West Ave. with the assistance of Cayuga County. The Town installed retention ponds to reduce flood of water into the village from Skinner Hill. In the course of their routine administration, the village continues to support the following mitigation actions or programs: Conducts and facilitate community and public education and outreach for residents and businesses to include, but not be limited to, the following to promote and effect natural hazard risk reduction: ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.20: VILLAGE OF MORAVIA DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan –Cayuga County, New York 9.20-10 August 2013 o Provide and maintain links to the HMP website, and regularly post notices on Cayuga County/municipal homepage(s) referencing the HMP webpages. o Prepare and distribute informational letters to flood vulnerable property owners and neighborhood associations, explaining the availability of mitigation grant funding to mitigate their properties, and instructing them on how they can learn more and implement mitigation. o Use email notification systems and newsletters to better educate the public on flood insurance, the availability of mitigation grant funding, and personal natural hazard risk reduction measures. Works with neighborhood associations, civic and business groups to disseminate information on flood insurance and the availability of mitigation grant funding. Supports ongoing updates of Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans Maintains compliance with and good-standing in the NFIP, including adoption and enforcement of floodplain management requirements (e.g. regulating all new and substantially improved construction in Special Hazard Flood Areas), floodplain identification and mapping, and flood insurance outreach to the community. Further, the village continues to meet and/or exceed the minimum NFIP standards and criteria through the following NFIP-related continued compliance actions identified as Initiatives below. Obtains and archives elevation certificates Continues to promote the participation of Floodplain Administrators within the planning process and other activities. F.2) Hazard Vulnerabilities Identified The village identified the following hazard problems and problem areas within the community: Areas are prone to flooding in the Owasco Flats west of Main St on Aurora, W. Cayuga Streets. Flooding occurs in the area near the villages’ wastewater treatment plant. Senior citizen housing along South Main Street floodwater, stormwater diversion project. Village officials reported recent stormwater run-off and flooding issues at the north end of the village from Oak Hill Road down onto North Main Street. There are culverts, however the road and the storm drains are owned by Cayuga County. Any retention areas and other culverts are all on and owned by private property owners. Due to this, the Village has little or no authority or funds to remediate this storm water run-off. Our hopes would be to work with Cayuga County and the property owners in the future to possibly relieve some of this run-off. The Cayuga County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has identified the following vulnerabilities for the Village of Moravia, and has proposed hazard mitigation initiatives corresponding to these vulnerabilities, as shown in Section F.3 of this annex: Owasco Lake is a major Finger Lake located entirely within Cayuga County. It supplies drinking water to the City of Auburn and several towns within Cayuga County. Lake levels are controlled by the City of Auburn. However, in the event of a major storm, water levels could rise above normal stages and threaten lakeshore properties and homes. This could also head to contamination of the drinking water supply, as pollutants could overwhelm the water filtration plant’s capabilities. Land use in the area includes residential areas and agriculture. Recreation areas, steep slopes and certain beaches on parts of the lake may require stabilization. The Cayuga County SWCD has worked on many such projects on the lake in the past, as well as dredging in areas that have received heavy siltation. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.20: VILLAGE OF MORAVIA DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan –Cayuga County, New York 9.20-11 August 2013 The Village of Moravia is a low-lying village with several streams and watercourses flowing through it, coming down from steep slopes above. Historically, the village has experienced flooding from snowmelt and storm events. In some cases, road culverts have become plugged with debris from upstream. The village storm sewers are not adequate to handle excessive amounts of stormwater. Erosion from steambanks often leads to silt deposits in the flat areas in the village, reducing stream channels even further. Debris carried into the village also creates logjams and flooding. The Cayuga County SWCD has worked with the Village in the past to address some of these issues, however, lack of funds has limited the projects. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.20: VILLAGE OF MORAVIA DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan –Cayuga County, New York 9.20-12 August 2013 NFIP Summary Municipality # Policies # Claims (Losses) Total Loss Payments # Rep.

Total building and content losses from the claims file provided by FEMA Region 2 (current as of June, 2012). The policy locations used are based on the latitude and longitude provided by FEMA Region 2. It is estimated that in the Village of Moravia, 519 residents live within the 1% annual chance flood area (NFIP Special Flood Hazard Area). Of the municipality's total land area, 40.7% is located within the 1% annual chance flood area. $44,792,262 (40.6%) of the municipality's general building stock replacement cost value (structure and contents) is located within the 1% annual chance flood area. There are 121 NFIP policies in the community. While there are 114 policies located within the 1% annual chance flood area, there are only policies issues to property owners in the 1% annual chance flood area. FEMA has identified 0 Repetitive Loss (RL) including 0 Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) properties in the municipality. HAZUS-MH estimates that for a 1% annual chance flood, $5,027,030 of the municipality's general building stock replacement cost value (structure and contents) will be damaged and 351 tons of debris could be generated.

HAZUS-MH 2.1 provides a general indication of the maximum restoration time for 100% operations. Clearly, a great deal of effort is needed to quickly restore essential facilities to full functionality; therefore this will be an indication of the maximum downtime (HAZUS-MH 2.1 User Manual). In some cases, a facility may be located in the DFIRM flood hazard boundary; however HAZUS did not calculate potential loss. This may be because the depth of flooding does not amount to any damages to the structure according to the depth damage function used in HAZUS for that facility type. The flood model does not estimate damages for HAZMAT facilities. With regards to the vulnerable critical facilities identified in the table above, village officials provided the following information: The Village Justice Center is a new facility and was built up above flood elevation when constructed. The Moravia Sewage Plant is a multi-million dollar facility, so relocating it would not be considered. The Electric Substation is owned by NYSEG, so the Village of Moravia has no authority over relocating it. Please refer to the Hazard Profiles for additional vulnerability information relevant to this jurisdiction. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTION 9.20: VILLAGE OF MORAVIA DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan –Cayuga County, New York 9.20-14 August 2013 F.3) PROPOSED HAZARD MITIGATION INITIATIVES Note some of the identified mitigation initiatives in Table F are dependent upon available funding (grants and local match availability) and may be modified or omitted at any time based on the occurrence of new hazard events and changes in municipal priorities.
