The toll on families and individuals can be immense and damaged businesses cannot contribute to the economy. The time, money and effort to respond to and recover from these emergencies or disasters divert public resources and attention from other important programs and problems. Lyon County, Nevada, recognizes the consequences of these disasters and the need to reduce the impacts of natural and human-caused hazards. The elected and appointed officials of Lyon County (the County), the City of Fernley (Fernley), the City of Yerington (Yerington) and Central Lyon County Fire Protection District also know that with careful selection, mitigation actions in the form of projects and programs can become long-term, cost effective means for reducing the impact of natural and human-caused hazards. Applying this knowledge, the Lyon County Local Emergency Planning Committee prepared the Lyon County, Nevada, Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. With the support of various County, City and Fire District officials, the State of Nevada, and the United States Department of Homeland Security/ Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), this plan is the result of several months’ worth of work to create a hazard mitigation plan that will guide the County, City of Fernley, the City of Yerington, and the Central Lyon County Fire Protection District toward greater disaster resistance in full harmony with the character and needs of each community and the region. People and property in Lyon County are at risk from a variety of hazards that have the potential for causing widespread loss of life and damage to property, infrastructure, and the environment. The purpose of hazard mitigation is to implement actions that eliminate the risk from hazards, or reduce the severity of the effects of hazards on people and property. Mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to life and property from a hazard event. Mitigation encourages long-term reduction of hazard vulnerability. The goal of mitigation is to save lives and reduce property damage. Mitigation can reduce the enormous cost of disasters to property owners and all levels of government. In addition, mitigation can protect critical community facilities, reduce exposure to liability and minimize community disruption. Preparedness, response, and recovery measures support the concept of mitigation and may Directly support identified mitigation actions. The Lyon County, Nevada Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan has been prepared in Compliance with Section 322 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act or the Act), 42 U.S.C. 5165, enacted under Sec. 104 the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), Public Law 106-390 of October 30, 2000. This plan Identifies hazard mitigation actions intended to eliminate or reduce the effects of future disasters Throughout the County and the cities of Fernley and Yerington. ---PAGE BREAK--- Executive Summary Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONONE Official Record of Adoption Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 1-1 This section provides an overview of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000; Public Law 106-390), the adoption of the updated Lyon County, Nevada, Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan by the local governing body, and supporting documentation for the adoption. 1.1 DISASTER MITIGATION ACT OF 2000 The DMA 2000 was passed by Congress to emphasize the need for mitigation planning to reduce vulnerability to natural and human-caused hazards. The DMA 2000 amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act; 42 United States Code [USC] 5121-5206 [2008]) by repealing the act’s previous Mitigation Planning section (409) and replacing it with a new Mitigation Planning section (322). In addition, Section 322 provides the legal basis for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) mitigation plan requirements for mitigation grant assistance. To implement the DMA 2000 planning requirements, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published an Interim Final Rule in the Federal Register on February 26, 2002. This rule (44 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 201) established the mitigation planning requirements for states, tribes, and local communities. The planning requirements are described in detail in Section 2, and identified in their appropriate sections throughout this Plan. 1.2 ADOPTION BY THE LOCAL GOVERNING BODY AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENT The requirements for the adoption of an by the local governing body, as stipulated in the DMA 2000 and its implementing regulations, are described below. DMA 2000 REQUIREMENTS: PREREQUISITES Adoption by the Local Governing Body Requirement §201.6(c) [The local hazard mitigation plan shall include] documentation that the plan has been Formally adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan City Council, County Commissioner, Tribal Council). Element Has the local governing body adopted the plan? Is supporting documentation, such as a resolution, included? Source: FEMA, March 2008 Lyon County, the cities of Fernley and Yerington, are the jurisdictions represented in this The meets the requirements of Section 409 of the Stafford Act and Section 322 of the DMA 2000. The local governing body of the County (Lyon County Board of Commissioners), City of Fernley (Fernley City Council) and the City of Yerington (Yerington City Council) has adopted this The signed resolutions are provided in Appendix A. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONONE Official Record of Adoption Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 1-2 This page left blank intentionally. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONTWO Background Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 2-1 This section provides an overview of the This includes a review of the purpose and Authority of the and a description of the document. 2.1 PLAN PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY Congress approved the DMA 2000, also referred to as the 2000 Stafford Act amendments, on October 10, 2000. On October 30, 2000, the President signed the bill into law, creating Public Law 106-390. The purposes of the DMA 2000 are to amend the Stafford Act, establish a national program for pre-disaster mitigation, and streamline administration of disaster relief. The meets the requirements of the DMA 2000, which calls for all communities to prepare hazard mitigation plans. By preparing this Lyon County, the City of Fernley and the City of Yerington are eligible to receive Federal mitigation funding after disasters and to apply for mitigation grants before disasters strike. This starts an ongoing process to evaluate the risks different types of hazards pose to the County and the Cities, and to engage the County and the Cities with the communities in dialogue to identify the steps that are most important in reducing these risks. This constant focus on planning for disasters will make the County and the Cities including its residents, property, infrastructure, and the environment, much safer. The local hazard mitigation planning requirements encourage agencies at all levels, local residents, businesses, and the non-profit sector to participate in the mitigation planning and implementation process. This broad public participation enables the development of mitigation actions that are supported by these various stakeholders and reflect the needs of the entire community. States are required to coordinate with local governments in the formation of hazard mitigation strategies, and the local strategies combined with initiatives at the state level form the basis for the State Mitigation Plan. The information contained in helps states to identify technical assistance needs and prioritize project funding. Furthermore, as communities prepare their plans, states can continually improve the level of detail and comprehensiveness of statewide Risk assessments. For FEMA’s Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grant program and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), a local jurisdiction must have an approved to be eligible for PDM and HMGP funding for a presidentially declared disaster after November 1, 2004. Plans approved, any time after November 1, 2004, will allow communities to be eligible to receive PDM and HMGP project grants. Adoption by the local governing body demonstrates the jurisdiction’s commitment to fulfilling the mitigation goals and objectives outlined in the Adoption legitimizes the updated and authorizes responsible agencies to execute their responsibilities. The resolutions adopting this are included in Appendix A. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONTWO Background Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 2-2 2.2 STAFFORD ACT GRANT PROGRAMS The following grant programs require a State, tribe, or local entity to have a FEMA-approved State or Local Mitigation Plan. Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP): HMGP provides grants to State, tribes, and local entities to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures after a major disaster declaration. The purpose of the HMGP is to reduce the loss of life and property as a result of natural disasters and to enable mitigation measures to be implemented during the immediate recovery from disaster. Projects must provide a long-term solution to a problem: for example, elevation of a home to reduce the risk of flood damages as opposed to buying sandbags and pumps to fight the flood. In addition, a project’s potential savings must be more than the cost of implementing the project. Funds may be used to protect either public or private property or to purchase property that has been subjected to, or is in danger of, repetitive damage. The amount of funding available for the HMGP under a particular disaster declaration is limited. The program may provide a State or tribe with up to 20 percent of the total disaster grants awarded by FEMA. The cost-share for this grant is 75/25 percent (Federal/non-Federal). Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program: PDM provides funds to State, tribes, and local entities, including universities, for hazard-mitigation planning and the implementation of mitigation projects before a disaster event. PDM grants are awarded on a nationally competitive basis. Like HMGP funding, a PDM project’s potential savings must be more than the cost of implementing the project. In addition, funds may be used to protect either public or private property or to purchase property that has been subjected to, or is in danger of, repetitive damage. Congress appropriates the total amount of PDM funding available on an annual basis. The cost share for this grant is 75/25 percent (Federal/non-Federal). Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA): The FMA program provides funds on an annual basis so that measures can be taken to reduce or eliminate risk of flood damage to buildings insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). FMA provides up to 75% Federal funding for a Mitigation activity grant and/or up to 90% Federal funding for a mitigation activity grant containing a repetitive loss strategy. Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC): The RFC program provides funds on an annual basis to reduce the risk of flood damage to individual properties insured under the NFIP that have had one or more claim payments for flood damages. RFC provides up to 100% Federal funding for eligible projects in communities that qualify for the program. Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL): The SRL program provides funds on an annual basis to reduce the risk of flood damage to residential structures insured under the NFIP that have had one or more claim payments for flood damages. SRL provides up to 75% Federal funding for eligible projects in communities that qualify for the program. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONTWO Background Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 2-3 2.3 PLAN ORGANIZATION The remainder of this consists of the following sections. • Section 3 - Community Description Section 3 provides a general history and background of the County, Cities, and historical trends for population, demographic and economic conditions that have shaped the area.

Three years prior, the Nevada Legislature established Lyon County on November 24, 1861. Lyon County was named after Nathaniel Lyon, the first Union General to be killed in the Civil War. Dayton was the original County seat, then in 1911 the County seat was changed to Yerington. Lyon County is located in west, central Nevada, its area totals 2,024 square miles. It includes two incorporated cities, the City of Fernley and the City of Yerington; seven additional communities: Dayton Valley Mason Valley Mound House Silver City Silver Springs Smith Valley Stagecoach Communities and Cities in Lyon County ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONTHREE Community Description Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 3-2 Lyon County is bordered on the north by Storey, Washoe and Churchill Counties, to the west by Douglas County and the County of Carson City; on the south by Mineral County and the state of California, and to the east by Churchill and Mineral Counties. Lyon County within the State of Nevada Interstate 80, which runs from San Francisco to New York, cuts through the northern corner of the County. U.S. 50 runs east-west through the central portion of Lyon County, and U.S. Alt 95 is the major north-south corridor through the county. The southern part of the County, in the area of the unincorporated town of Wellington, is crossed by highways 208 and 338. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONTHREE Community Description Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 3-3 All of Lyon County lies within the Great Basin.

It is unlikely growth will be less than the forecasted rate, but could accelerate based on regional economic development. More recently Lyon County has seen rapid growth in the region. Inevitably, in such a process, Lyon County and its communities have been affected by development, increased traffic volumes, encroachment into floodplains, services stretched to meet needs, and a declining agricultural land base. As a result in December 2010, Lyon County developed five major land use goals:  Orderly Growth Patterns: Direct and manage development in the county so that it is orderly and fiscally responsible  Services Coordinated with Growth: Coordinate future residential development with development of schools, parks, libraries, and other public services so as to maintain or improve per resident service levels  Diverse Economy: Attract businesses that employ residents in primary jobs, as well as service jobs that meet the needs of local residents so that the economy will continue to be strong and diverse  Viable Agriculture: Enhance the economic viability of agricultural lands and promote opportunities for rural and agricultural support uses that conserve and enhance our agricultural and rural way of life  Encourage Resource Sensitive Growth: Designate development that will reduce energy use and minimize environmental impacts Land Ownership Acreage 2018 Percentage of County BLM 572,924 44% BOR 20,092 2% FS 276,282 21% FWS 15 .001% Tribal 50,604 4% State 19,466 2% Private Lands 338,168 26% Water 17,839 1% Total 1,295,390 100% ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONTHREE Community Description Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 3-8 Based upon input from the community and County leadership an overall approach for future growth and development in the County was identified and is explained in the Lyon County Comprehensive Master Plan - December 2010. Lyon County is approaching growth utilizing the “Community Core Concept,” which encourages growth and development in and around the existing community cores (towns and established settlement areas) with a strong focus on balancing residential, employment, and retail uses. The concept encourages less growth in the unincorporated areas and promotes alternative development and conservation approaches for area of environmental significance or hazardous features, such as steep slopes, wetlands, or flood plains. The Lyon County Master Plan establishes a planned pattern for development in the County and is designed to promote sound land use decisions. The master plan provides sufficient land for residential, commercial, agricultural, industrial, and public uses and locates these uses Appropriately in order to enhance community balance and character; to preserve and protect important natural resources; and to enable the County to provide adequate public services to the community. The land use map directs urban development to the northwestern area of the County where it is intended that more intensive, mixed uses, conducive to an urban environment will, over time, be encouraged. With 8,637 residential lots in the planning stages, development will proceed slowly and carefully to mitigate impacts to existing residents. The majority of the population of Lyon County is located in the areas served by the Lyon County Utilities department. In response to the planned increase in population, Lyon County is working to preserve agriculture and support Retail Trade and Mining, two of the largest economic sectors of the county. Growth in the economic sector of agriculture and mining includes material moving, construction and extraction, farming, fishing and forestry. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONTHREE Community Description Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 3-9 Master Plan Land Use Map ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONTHREE Community Description Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 3-10 3.2 CITY OF FERNLEY 3.2.1 History, Location, and Geography The City of Fernley (Fernley) is located in the northern portion of Lyon County and is located approximately 45 miles north of the County seat (Yerington).

A presentation on Hazard Mitigation and the process to update the plan was presented by Lyon County Planning staff. The planning process was discussed including the purpose of the plan. Also the 2013 Hazard Mitigation Actions were handed out to the group along with the existing plan documents for Lyon County. The group conducted a table-top exercise to rank the hazards for Lyon County, the Cities of Fernley and Yerington for this update. The 2013 ranking and the State of Nevada’s ranking was provided to the group as a current reference. • March 7, 2018 At the second meeting to update the plan, the group reviewed and discussed the hazard ranking outcomes from the first meeting attendees. It was discussed to possibly move Infestation to a Medium risk, instead of a Low risk. It was also decided that the hazards Volcano, Tornado and Tsunami/Seiche would be removed from the assessment as no history of occurrence has taken place in the County or cities in the past ten years, for these hazards, but could be added to future plans if these hazards have impacts in the future. The specific hazards evaluated for recent history and to gather information, were Drought, Epidemic, Hazardous Materials, Infestation, and Terrorism/WMD. Mayor Edington of Fernley stated that during a drought, there is the possibility of wells going dry, and the re-drilling of wells can occur. It was recommended that we contact the state for the number of wells in Lyon County that may have gone dry during the last drought. It was decided by the group to revisit the hazard Infestation, after community input has been received. • April 26, 2018 At this meeting the group discussed edits to Sections 1 through 5 based on comments and edits received. The hazards Earthquake, Expansive Soils, Flood, Land Subsidence and Wildfire were discussed. Presented at the meeting were the updated maps for Earthquake faults and wildland fire history since 2000. The group decided to remove Expansive Soil from evaluation because Lyon county and cities do not have a history of this hazard. The group reviewed the Sections 6 Vulnerability Assessment and Section 7 Capabilities Assessment from the current 2013 HMP and decided to update the plan to have all three jurisdictions in the section and then refer back to the specific tables for each in the Appendix F through H. It was also decided that we would utilize current Assessor and GIS information for the Vulnerability Assessment. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFOUR Planning Process Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 4-6 • May 31, 2018 During the meeting the group received a presentation on Severe Winter Storm and Extreme Snowfall from Chris Smallcomb of NOAA. During his presentation he discussed key points of the number of days with an event where 77. The most frequent weather hazards are high wind or heavy snowfall and flooding events. The majority or the reporting took place during a severe drought which spanned 2012 to 2016. Dust storms, extreme heat and wildland fire related to flash flood became a concern during this period. He introduced to the group the Data source of www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents. He discuss notable weather events and discussed the future impact potential of weather hazards based on a ranking of high risk, moderate risk and low risk. Also during this meeting the Hazard, Terrorism/WMD was presented by Sheriff McNeil. He presented information from the RAND think tank and presented information on Agro-terrorism as Lyon County and the cities have a high risk to this hazard as there are large producing agricultural and livestock producing businesses in this area of Nevada. Other hazards reviewed and edited for the update were Dam/Canal Failure and Volcano. It was decided that Canals be added to the hazard Dams and that Volcano, not be evaluated further in this update, due to no significant history. Public Outreach was discussed. A hard copy of the Mitigation Questionnaire was presented and handed out to the group for their input on the questions and if any other information should be added or deleted. It was decided that we would have the questionnaire available online and be put on the County and Cities’ websites with a link to the online questionnaire to reach more citizens. Also made available at the County public table outside the Board of Commissioners meeting room. June 2, 2018 – Public Outreach Event A public information and event booth was set up with the Central Lyon County Fire District and in coordination with the Carson Water Subconservancy District at the Oodles of Noodles event on Saturday, June 2, 2018. At this public event the current 2013 document was available and the Mitigation Questionnaire and link to the online Questionnaire was handed out to the general public. Also at this event large size maps of the Hazards, Earthquake, Flood and Wildland Fire were on display for the public to view and ask questions. Sign-in sheets were available for those citizens wanting more specific information on the and copies of maps for their specific areas of the county. 100 questionnaire cards were distributed. • July 18, 2018 This was the last meeting of the committee. At this meeting the information received from the online questionnaire and the hard copy questionnaire were discussed with the group. The rankings of the hazards by the group and the ranking of the hazards from the community were discussed. Although the general public ranked the hazards Terrorism/WMD as Low, it was decided by the group, that it should remain as Medium and that Extreme Heat ranked by the public as High would remain as medium also. Infestation was moved to Low based on the public’s ranking of this hazard. At this meeting the Mitigation Goals were reviewed again and the Goals and Potential Actions were ranked using FEMA’s tool the STAPLE+E.

All entities were able to put a link to the online questionnaire on their local webpages and through social media. In addition the questionnaire and information regarding the plan update was distributed at a public event, “Oodles of Noodles” in Dayton, Nevada on June 2, 2018. Also information of the plan update was posted in the local paper. The press release can be found in Appendix C. The questionnaire and the results can be found in Appendix D. The information gathered from the public response was evaluated and considered by the Local Emergency Planning Committee during their development and prioritization of the mitigation strategy. The response to the questionnaire was good, with receiving 33 online responses and 10 written responses. The information gathered, aided in the Planning Committee to re-review the hazard rankings and finding that the committee and overall consensus from the public received responses were exactly in line with each other, meaning that the committee and general public ranked the hazards the same.

Hazard identification is the process of recognizing the natural and human-caused events that threaten an area. Natural hazards result from unexpected or uncontrollable natural events of sufficient magnitude. Human-caused hazards result from human activity and include technological hazards and terrorism. Technological hazards are generally accidental or result from events with unintended consequences, for example, an accidental hazardous materials release. Terrorism is defined as the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to attain goals that are political, religious, or ideological in nature. Even though a particular hazard may not have occurred in recent history in the study area, all hazards that may potentially affect the study area are included in the screening process. The hazards that are unlikely to occur or for which the risk of damage is accepted as being low, are eliminated from consideration. All identified hazards will be profiled by describing hazards in terms of their nature, history, magnitude, frequency, location, and probability. Hazards are identified through the collection of historical and anecdotal information, review of existing plans and studies, and preparation of hazard maps of the study area. Hazard maps are used to determine the geographic extent of the hazards and define the approximate boundaries of the areas at risk. 5.1 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND SCREENING The requirements for hazard identification, as stipulated in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and its implementing regulations, are described below. DMA 2000 REQUIREMENTS: RISK ASSESSMENT Identifying Hazards Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(2)(i): [The risk assessment shall include a] description of the type of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. Element  Does the new or updated plan include a description of all of the types of all natural hazards that affect the jurisdiction? Source: FEMA 2008. The first step of the hazard analysis is the identification and screening of hazards, as shown in Table 5-1. During the January 2018 meeting the Committee (comprised of representatives from County departments and agencies, City of Fernley representatives, City of Yerington representatives, other District representatives) reviewed the State of Nevada’s identified hazards in the State of Nevada Hazard Mitigation Plan as well as the previous 14 hazards in the 2013 The committee identified 12 hazards (11 natural hazards and 1 human-caused hazard) with the addition of three new hazards to this update which could pose a threat to Lyon County, the City of Fernley and the City or Yerington. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-2 Table 5.1 Identification and Screening of Hazards Hazard Should it Be Profiled New to the Plan?

Assigning Vulnerability Ratings During the initial planning meeting the members were tasked with prioritizing the hazards by their total impact to the community. An exercise requiring the members to complete a form, which tabulated their ratings of each hazard was accomplished. The exercise formula took in to account the historical occurrence of each respective hazard, the potential area of impact when the disaster does occur, and the magnitude. Please see Table 5-2 below for the scoring criteria. It is important to note that hazards of the some magnitude and the same frequency can occur in similar sized geographic areas; however, the overall impact to the areas would be different because of population densities and property values in the areas impacted. Table 5-2: Vulnerability Ratings Rubric Rank Frequency Magnitude/Severity Warning Time Duration Lowest 1 1000+ years 1-5% Damaged; No deaths; Local >48 hrs 1-3 Days 2 100-1000 years 5-15%; No deaths; City.

Table 5-3 is a summary of the hazards scoring results of both the members present at the meetings and those who provided feedback via email. The Committee members determined that 15 hazards pose a threat to Lyon County, the cities of Fernley and Yerington. Of the 15 hazards, there are three new hazards to this update.

The hazards that pose a medium risk are extreme heat, hail and thunderstorm, severe weather storm and extreme snowfall, dam/canal failure, landslide, terrorism/WMD, epidemic, land subsidence & ground failure and infestation. The remainder hazards, Volcano, Tornado, Expansive Soil, Avalanche and Tsunami/Seiche as reviewed through the screening process were considered to pose no threat to life and property in the County or Cities due to the low likelihood of occurrence or the low probability that life and property would be significantly affected. Although the two hazards Tornado and Volcano, were addressed in the 2013 the Committee decided, that because no historical evidence or occurrences of these hazards has taken place in the County or cities, that they would not be included in this update. Should the risk from these hazards increase in the future, the can be updated to incorporate a vulnerability analyses for these hazards. The committee determined that terrorism should be addressed in this public document. However, due to the sensitivity of this hazard, while the risk will be identified, it will not be discussed further in the vulnerability analysis or mitigation strategies. The high and moderate ranked hazards will be carried through to the Risk Assessment and will be addressed in the Mitigation Strategy. The hazards with a “low” rating will have a Hazard Profile developed but will not be carried through to the Risk Assessment or Mitigation Strategy, as currently and historically those hazards have occurred in unpopulated areas having little to no impact, measureable magnitude, or feasible mitigation actions. The “low” ranked hazards were determined not to be in this update but will be reviewed in future updates in order to monitor the possible impact of these hazards in relation to the growth within the county and the cities, and increasing visitor appeal. The Lyon County’s Hazard Rating results generally correspond with ratings determined in ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-6 the State of Nevada Standard Hazard Mitigation Plan. Earthquake was also ranked high in the State Plan; however, hazardous materials and terrorism are ranked as medium in the State Plan. The Committee and the general public ranked Hazardous Materials as high, which may be due to the many travel corridors that bisect the County and travel through both the City of Fernley and the City of Yerington. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-7 5.2 HAZARD PROFILE The requirements for hazard profile, as stipulated in the DMA 2000 and its implementing regulations, are described below.

The high velocity, debris-laden wall of water released from a dam or canal failure results in the potential for human causalities, economic loss, lifeline disruption, and environmental damage. While dam failure may involve the total collapse of a dam, this is not always the case as damaged spillways, overtopping from prolonged rainfall, or other problems, including the unintended consequences from normal operations, can result in a hazardous situation being created. The same is for a canal failure. The failure can be a break or breach in a canal wall or embankment, causing damage to property, homes, businesses and environmental damages. Due to the lack of advance warning, failures from natural events, such as earthquakes, or landslides, may be particularly severe. Dam or canal failure may be caused by a variety of natural events, human-caused events, or a combination thereof. Dam or canal failure usually occurs when the spillway capacity is inadequate and water overtops the dam or canal, or when internal erosion through the dam foundation or canal embankment occurs (also known as piping). Factors contributing to dam or canal failure events are structural deficiencies from poor initial design or construction, lack of maintenance or repair, or the gradual weakening of the dam or canal through the normal aging process. 5.2.1.2 History In Nevada, there have been no dam failure declarations, however, the following incidents are on record:  In 1984, the concrete liner of the Bishop Creek Dam in Elko County failed resulting in a 25 cubic feet per second seep. The seep eventually removed approximately 800 cubic yards of material from the toe of the dam (Association of State Dam Safety Officials, 2002).  In 1985, a mine tailings dam owned by the Oling house Mining Company failed from an embankment collapse from saturation in Wadsworth, Nevada. Tailings were reported 1.5 km  In 2005, rainfall runoff overtopped the Schroeder Dam in Beaver Dam State Park located in eastern Nevada by one foot. The top surface of the dam was not damaged, but the face of the dam was severely eroded. Erosion in several of the gullies may have reached as far as the core material. The dam was an earth-fill dam with a thirty-five foot concrete spillway on the east side. Prior to this event the dam was considered a low- hazard dam; mitigation at this site is ongoing.  In 2006, failure of the Rogers Dam occurred as a result of very high flows in the Humboldt River concrete control sections of the dam were undermined making it ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-9 useless. The concrete portion of the dam was completely undercut by four to five feet allowing the river to flow underneath the dam, unimpeded. No one was injured and no property damage was reported. However, the main effect of the Rogers Dam failure was that the reservoir behind the dam is diverted into a canal which provides water to 60 percent of the ranches in the valley, representing about 20,000 acres of land.  On January 5, 2008, a 50-foot breach failure occurred at the 100 year old earthen “Truckee” canal, owned by the Bureau of Reclamation, but maintained and run by the Truckee Canal Irrigation District, located in the City of Fernley, NV. Approximately 590 properties were damaged. No lives were lost. Furthermore, many dams and older canals in Nevada suffer from poor design or encroachment of development into the potential floodplain below the dam or canal. As a result, many dams fail to pass an Inflow Design Flood (IDF) inspection commensurate with their hazard potential and size (Association of State Dam Officials, 2002). There however, is no record of dam failure for any dam located in or affecting Lyon County and only one canal breach in 2008. There have been no dam failure or canal failure events in Lyon County or the cities since the last plan update in 2013. 5.2.1.3 Location, Extent, and Probability of Future Events Lyon County has three “high hazard” dams within its purview: Eldorado Canyon Dam, Sheep Camp Detention Dam and Topaz Dam. Both Eldorado Canyon and Sheep Camp Detention Dams are located by the town of Dayton; Eldorado Canyon Dam is about 3 miles southeast of Dayton and Sheep Camp Detention Dam is about 2 miles northwest of Dayton. Topaz Dam is located in California, but has a high hazard rating from the Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR) because failure of Topaz Dam could affect Lyon County, specifically in the towns of Wellington and Smith Valley area. There is one earthen canal located in the City of Fernley. Additional dams, of lower hazard ratings, are scattered throughout Lyon County, from Fernley, to Smith Valley, to east of Yerington. A map indicating these locations is provided in Appendix B as Figure B-4. The probability of future dam or canal failures is difficult to determine, due to age of the infrastructure and the unpredictability of climate affects. If a severe winter produces much spring runoff, routine maintenance and inspections of the dams and canals will be required to avoid overtopping and breaches in the structures. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-10 5.2.2 Drought Planning Significance - Lyon County – High City of Fernley – High City of Yerington - High 5.2.2.1 Nature Drought is a normal, recurrent feature of virtually all climatic zones, including areas of both high and low rainfall, although characteristics will vary significantly from one region to another. There is no universally accepted quantitative definition of drought. Generally, the term is applied to periods of less than average or normal precipitation over a period of time sufficiently prolonged to cause a serious hydrological imbalance resulting in biological losses and/or economic losses. Drought differs from normal aridity, which is a permanent feature of the climate in areas of low rainfall. Drought is the result of a natural decline in the expected precipitation over an extended period of time, typically one or more seasons in length. Other climatic characteristics, such as high temperature, high wind, and low relative humidity, impact the severity of drought conditions. Four common definitions for drought are provided as follows:  Meteorological drought is defined solely on the degree of dryness, expressed as a departure of actual precipitation from an expected average or normal amount based on seasonal, or annual time scales.  Hydrological drought is related to the effects of precipitation shortfalls on stream flows and reservoir, lake, and groundwater levels.  Agricultural drought is defined principally in terms of soil moisture deficiencies relative to water demands of plant life, usually crops.  Socioeconomic drought associates the supply and demand of economic goods or services with elements of meteorological, hydrologic, and agricultural drought. Socioeconomic drought occurs when the demand for water exceeds the supply as a result of weather- related supply shortfall. It may also be referred to as a water management drought. A drought’s severity depends on numerous factors, including duration, intensity, and geographic extent as well as regional water supply demands by humans and vegetation. Due to its multi- dimensional nature, drought is difficult to define in exact terms and also poses difficulties in terms of comprehensive risk assessments. Drought differs from other natural hazards in three ways. First, the onset and end of a drought are difficult to determine due to the slow accumulation and lingering of effects of an event after its apparent end. Second, the lack of an exact and universally accepted definition adds to the confusion of its existence and severity. Third, in contrast with other natural hazards, the impact of drought is less obvious and may be spread over a larger geographic area. These characteristics have hindered the preparation of drought contingency or mitigation plans by many governments. The effects of drought increase with duration as more moisture-related activities are impacted. Non-irrigated croplands are most susceptible to precipitation shortages. Rangeland and irrigated ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-11 agricultural crops may not respond to moisture shortage as rapidly, but yields during periods of drought can be substantially affected. During periods of severe drought, lower moisture in plant and forest fuels create an increased potential for devastating wildfires. In addition, lakes, reservoirs, and rivers can be subject to water shortages that impact recreational opportunities, irrigated crops, and availability of water supplies for activities such as fire suppression and human consumption, and natural habitats of animals. Insect infestation can also be a particularly damaging impact from severe drought conditions. 5.2.2.2 History Nevada is the driest State in the Nation and on average receives less than 15 inches of rain per year. Parts of Southern Lyon County receive and average of up to 25 inches per year, but the majority of Lyon County receives less than 15 inches per year. Despite the low standard for precipitation, drought conditions in Lyon County have been demonstrated on a high frequency cycle every 6 to 10 years in recent history. Based upon the U.S. Drought Monitor, Lyon County experienced periods of drought from the summer of 2001 to April 2005, from 2007 to 2010 and again beginning in 2012. Furthermore, the State of Nevada has experienced two statewide drought declarations since 2002. Figure 5-2 U.S. Drought Monitor – April 19, 2018 ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-12 5.2.2.3 Location, Extent, and Probability of Future Events The occurrence of drought is regional in nature and scope, which holds true for the Lyon County. As illustrated in Figure 4-3 above, when drought occurs it typically affects the entire County, to include the cities of Fernley and Yerington, Lyon County unincorporated, and the unincorporated communities, as well as the entire State of Nevada. Years of below average flows in rivers are not uncommon and many water users are prepared to cope with one year of low streamflows by resorting to supplemental sources such as reservoirs and groundwater. For most of Nevada’s water users, who depend mostly upon surface water, problems can begin to occur when below average flows are experienced for two or more consecutive years. Over time, reservoir and groundwater levels tend to decline due to increased uses and these supplemental sources may become depleted. Droughts can also create quality problems for both surface water and groundwater sources. The decreased flows experienced during a drought tend to result in diminished quality for the remaining water. Drought conditions occurring in Lyon County can have an impact on the viability of agriculture, industry as well as water recreational activities. Drought conditions would impact the amount of water available for crops grown for commercial and domestic use, and could be reduced by the snow pack available in our local mountain passes, which could have a negative results on the areas water related sporting and tourism activities. Additional impacts to Lyon County industry may include a negative impact on the capabilities of firefighters in the area, as water shortages may result in reduced water flow and pressure available to combat Wildland and structure fires that may take place in the region. Probability of Future Events: In Lyon County, population growth and water shortages have combined to interact with the natural environment to inhibit both the replenishment of water supplies and the ability of the regional purveyors to deliver water to county residents. From 2009 to 2016 Lyon County saw a population increase by 52.6 percent. This growth continues and Lyon County’s Master Plan recognizes the importance of “efficient use of water resources,” however, Lyon County still remains highly susceptible to drought. In the past two decades the population served by the SNWA has more than doubled to approximately 1.7 million people. In addition, rainfall has been far below average in the Western States resulting in lower than normal flow in the lower Colorado River. Drought severity is commonly measured utilizing the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) developed in 1965. The PDSI measures the departure of moisture from normal conditions by calculating estimated soil moisture from observed temperature and precipitation values. Based on Nevada’s history with drought between 1895 and 2005, the northern portion of Lyon County can expect severe or extreme drought at least 15 percent of the time and the southern portion of the County at least 10 percent of the time. (Figure 5-3). ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-13 Figure 5-3 Palmer Drought Severity Index 2018 ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-14 Climate Change: There is an expectation that the effects of climate change will result in rising snow levels. The rising snow levels will result in a large fraction of winter precipitation falling as rain instead of snow. As a result of the predicted changing precipitation source, maintaining, and creating additional resources will become even more important for storing water supply. Disruption of services is highly variable: in urban areas with municipal water systems and reservoir storage, disruption may be quite minimal during a typical few -year drought. In that same drought, however, disruption of water supplies to rural and agricultural communities, it may be considerable as those areas depend more on ground water which can be depleted quickly in drought conditions. Drought is one of the least predictable hazards. The current state of seasonal weather prediction science is such that it is nearly impossible to predict well in advance the beginning or the ending of droughts with meaningful confidence levels. As per the date of this update Lyon County and the cities are not within the drought period that began in 2012. With that said, periods of drought have regularly occurred in the recent history of Lyon County, Nevada, and as such drought can be expected to occur with some regularity in the future. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-15 5.2.3 Earthquake Planning Significance - Lyon County – High City of Fernley – High City of Yerington -High Nature An earthquake is a sudden motion or trembling caused by a release of strain accumulated within or along the edge of the earth’s tectonic plates. The effects of an earthquake can be felt far beyond the site of its occurrence. Earthquakes usually occur without warning and can cause massive damage and extensive casualties in a few seconds. Common effects of earthquakes are ground motion and shaking, surface fault ruptures, and ground failure. Ground motion is the vibration or shaking of the ground during an earthquake. When a fault ruptures, seismic waves radiate, causing the ground to vibrate. The severity of the vibration increases with the amount of energy released and decreases with distance from the causative fault or epicenter. Soft soils can amplify ground motions. In addition to ground motion, several secondary natural hazards can occur from earthquakes, such as the following:  Surface Faulting is the differential movement of two sides of a fault at the earth’s surface. Displacement along faults, both in terms of length and width, varies but can be significant up to 20 feet), as can the length of the surface rupture up to 200 miles). Surface faulting can cause severe damage to linear structures, including railways, highways, pipelines, and tunnels.  Liquefaction occurs when seismic waves pass through saturated granular soil, distorting its granular structure, and causing some of the empty spaces between granules to collapse. Pour water pressure may also increase sufficiently to cause the soil to behave like a fluid for a brief period and cause deformations. Liquefaction causes lateral spreads (horizontal movements of commonly 10 to 15 feet, but up to 100 feet), flow failures (massive flows of soil, typically hundreds of feet, but up to 12 miles), and loss of bearing strength (soil deformations causing structures to settle or tip). Liquefaction can cause severe damage to property.  Landslides/Debris Flows occur as a result of horizontal seismic inertia forces induced in the slopes by the ground shaking. The most common earthquake-induced landslides include shallow, disrupted landslides such as rock falls, rockslides, and soil slides. Debris flows are created when surface soil on steep slopes becomes totally saturated with water. Once the soil liquefies, it loses the ability to hold together and can flow downhill at very high speeds, taking vegetation and/or structures with it. Slide risks increase after an earthquake during a wet winter. The severity of an earthquake can be expressed in terms of intensity and magnitude. Intensity is based on the damage and observed effects on people and the natural and built environment. It varies from place to place depending on the location with respect to the earthquake epicenter, which is the point on the Earth’s surface that is directly above where the earthquake occurred. The severity of intensity generally increases with the amount of energy released and decreases with distance from the fault or epicenter of the earthquake. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-16 The Richter scale is often used to rate the strength of an earthquake and is an indirect measure of seismic energy released. The scale is logarithmic, with each 1-point increase corresponding to a 10-fold increase in the amplitude of the seismic shock waves generated by the earthquake. However, in actual energy released, each 1-point increase on the Richter scale corresponds to about a 32-fold increase in energy released. Therefore, a magnitude 7 earthquake is 100 times (10×10) more powerful than an M 5 earthquake and releases 1,024 times (32×32) the energy. The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is another way of rating earthquakes. This method attempts to quantify the intensity of ground shaking. Intensity in this scale is a function of distance from the epicenter (the closer a site is to the epicenter, the greater the intensity at that site), ground acceleration, duration of ground shaking, and degree of structural damage. The MMI rates the level of severity of an earthquake by the amount of damage and the perceived shaking, as shown in Table 5-4. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-17 Table 5-4.

Lyon County is located in the Walker Lane belt, which is a transition zone between the strike-slip plate boundary system and extensional tectonics of the Basin and Range Province (where all of Nevada is located). The belt contains many strike-slip faults which in addition to the normal-slip faults lead to a higher earthquake hazard. Four different fault zones are present in Lyon County: Antelope Valley, Smith Valley, Sweetwater and Singatze Range 2008 HAZUS-MH analysis has Nevada ranked 7th nationally in estimated losses ($77.8 million) on an annualized basis due to earthquakes and Lyon County has an annualized earthquake loss of 1.0 to 5.0 million dollars. Table 5-5 illustrates the large historic earthquakes near Lyon County. Table 5-5. Large Historic Earthquakes near Lyon County Small earthquakes occur on a very regular basis, for example, the week of July 25, 2018 a series of rather small magnitude earthquakes occurred around the City of Yerington and the City of Fernley, these ranged in magnitude from .06 to .08. On July 31, 2018 a M1.3 event occurred 4.5 miles southwest of Dayton, NV. However, due to the low magnitude very little shaking, if any, would have been felt. Location, Extent, and Probability of Future Events Figure 5-4 illustrates the locations of the identified fault zones in Lyon County. Figure 5-5 illustrates the locations of earthquakes in Nevada from 1852 to 2008. The cities of Dayton and Yerington are closer to earthquakes of a higher magnitude, M5 or greater. A number of M4 to M5 earthquakes have occurred in the southern portion of Lyon County, however, most are a significant distance from any city or community. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-19 Figure 5-4.

Disease can affect any living organism, including people, animals, and plants. Disease can both directly (via infection) and indirectly (via secondary impacts) harm these living things. Some infections can cause disease in both people and animals. The major concern here is an epidemic, a disease that affects an unexpected number of people or sentinel animals at one time. An epidemic can result from even one case of illness if that illness is unheard of in the affected population smallpox). Of great concern for human health are infectious diseases caused by the entry and growth of microorganisms in man. Most, but not all, infectious diseases are communicable. They can be spread by coming into direct contact with someone infected with the disease, someone in a carrier state who is not sick at the time, or another living organism that carries the pathogen. Disease-producing organisms can also be spread by indirect contact with something a contagious person or other carrier has touched and contaminated, like a tissue or doorknob, or another medium water, air, food). During the first half of the twentieth century optimism grew as steady progress was made against infectious diseases in humans via improved water quality and sanitation, antibiotics, and inoculations. The incidences and severity of infectious diseases in the U.S. such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever, smallpox, polio, whooping cough, and diphtheria were all significantly reduced during this period. This optimism proved premature, however, for a variety of reasons, including the following: antibiotics began to lose their effectiveness against infectious disease Staphylococcus aureus); new strains of influenza emerged in China and spread rapidly around the globe; sexually transmitted diseases resurged; new diseases were identified in the U.S. and elsewhere Legionnaires’ disease, Lyme disease, toxic shock and Ebola virus disease); acquired immunodeficiency (AIDS) appeared; and tuberculosis (including multidrug-resistant strains) reemerged (Schlipköter & Flahault, 2010). In a report titled Emerging Infections: Microbial Threats to Health in the United States, the Institute of Medicine identified the growing links between U.S. and international health and concluded that emerging infections are a major and growing threat to U.S. health (1992). An emerging infectious disease is one that has newly appeared in a population or that has been known for some time, but is rapidly increasing in incidence or geographical range. Emerging infectious diseases are a product of modern demographic and environmental conditions, such as global travel, globalization, centralized processing of the food supply, population growth, and increased urbanization. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-24 In response to the threat of emerging infectious diseases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched a national effort to protect the U.S. public in a plan titled Addressing Emerging Infectious Disease Threats. Based on the CDC’s plan, major improvements to the U.S. health system were implemented, including improvements in surveillance, applied research, public health infrastructure, and prevention of emerging infectious diseases (Hughes, 1998). Despite improvements, infectious diseases causing lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, and tuberculosis are among the top ten leading causes of death in humans worldwide (The top 10 causes, 2018), and influenza and pneumonia are the eighth leading cause of death in the U.S. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2016). Infectious diseases are still a threat to public health today as global interdependence and world travel continue to increase, and our success in combatting these threats depends on our ongoing ability to adapt to and get ahead of these new challenges (Morens & Fauci, 2013). The CDC has established a list of over 70 nationally reportable diseases. A reportable disease is one that, by law, must be reported by health providers to report to federal, state or local public health officials. Reportable diseases are those of public interest by reason of their communicability, severity, or frequency. The long list includes, but is not limited to, the following:  Anthrax  Arboviral diseases (including Chikungunya and West Nile virus)  Babesiosis  Botulism  Brucellosis  Campylobacteriosis  Chlamydia infection  Cholera   Dengue virus infections  Diphtheria  Ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis  Giardiasis  Gonorrhea  Haemophilus influenzae, invasive disease  Hansen's disease (leprosy)  Hantavirus infection  Hepatitis B, C)  HIV infection  Tuberculosis  Legionellosis  Listeriosis  Lyme disease  Malaria  Measles  Meningococcal disease  Mumps  Novel influenza A virus infections  Pertussis  Plague  Poliovirus infection  Rabies, human and animal  Rubella  Salmonellosis  Severe Acute Respiratory coronavirus disease  Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli  Shigellosis  Smallpox  Spotted fever rickettsiosis  Syphilis  Tetanus  Toxic shock  Tuberculosis  Tularemia  Typhoid fever  Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus  Varicella  Vibriosis  Viral hemorrhagic fever (including Ebola virus disease)  Yellow fever  Zika virus infection (“National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System”, 2018) ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-25 5.2.4.2 History Some recent incidences of major infectious diseases affecting the U.S. include the following: Influenza The influenza pandemic of 1918 and 1919, known as the Spanish Flu, had the highest mortality rate in recent history for an infectious disease. At least 50 million persons were killed worldwide, some 550,000 of which were in the U.S. alone (Stern, Cetron, & Markel, 2010). In April 2009, a strain of influenza known as H1N1, or swine flu, was first recognized in Mexico and entered the U.S. in Southern California. H1N1 was recognized as a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization in May 2009. H1N1 varied from other influenzas in that it seemed to spare populations born before 1950 due to that group’s prior exposure to similar strains (Skountzou et al., 2010). The CDC responded to the novel strain by inoculating the U.S. public through vaccinations. The state of Nevada saw 4,624 cases of H1N1 during the 2009 flu season, with 100 cases in Lyon County (Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health, 2013). Although H1N1 had low a mortality rate, the high variability and unpredictable nature of influenza viruses reinforces the need for sustained preparedness efforts (Jhung et al., 2011).

Retrieved from http://www.dpbh.nv.gov/Programs/OPHIE/Docs/professionalpaper/ West Nile Virus In late August 1999, an epidemic of West Nile virus (WNV) occurred in the New York City metropolitan area causing 62 cases and 7 deaths. The virus is transmitted by mosquitoes and has since become endemic to the Unites States. There were 2,002 cases and 121 deaths from WNV in the U.S. in 2017, with 53 cases and 2 deaths in the state of Nevada (“West Nile virus”, The 1999 epidemic represents the first time WNV had been detected in the U.S. and serves as a reminder that with changes in climate and weather patterns, migration patterns of birds, and other unknown variables, existing or emerging infectious diseases can impact the U.S. at any time (Dalovisio, 2003). Severe Acute Respiratory Better known as SARS, Severe Acute Respiratory is a respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), SARS infected a total of 8,098 people in a 2003 outbreak, and resulted in 774 deaths worldwide. In the United States, there were eight laboratory confirmed cases, with no deaths. All cases were travel-related, and there was no further spread of SARS within the U.S. SARS is thought to be transmitted by close person-to-person contact and through respiratory droplets produced by coughing or sneezing (“Fact sheet”, ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-27 In April 2004, the Chinese Ministry of Health reported nine cases of SARS with one death. Investigations showed the outbreak started as a result of laboratory exposure to the virus (“SARS update”, There have been no reports of SARS cases anywhere in the world since 2004, but the travel related nature of the illness demonstrates how quickly an infectious disease can be imported into the U.S. from abroad. Norovirus Among all age groups, norovirus is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis, with 19-21 million cases annually. It contributes to 56,000-71,000 hospitalizations and 570-800 deaths each year. Norovirus is highly contagious and can be transmitted person-to-person or via contaminated food, water, surfaces, or objects. It is responsible for 58% of domestically-acquired foodborne illnesses. Norovirus is most common during the winter, but people can get it any time of the year. There can be up to 50% more norovirus illness in years that a new strain of the virus is circulating (“Burden of norovirus”, Escherichia coli Though many strains of Escherichia coli, or E. coli, bacteria are innocuous, others can cause illnesses including diarrhea, urinary tract infections, respiratory illness, and pneumonia. Some strains are known as “Shiga toxin-producing” E. coli, or STEC, because of the toxin they produce. The most well-known STEC associated with outbreaks in the U.S. is E. coli O157:H7 coli”, In October 2010, a rare strain of E. coli O157:H7 associated with Gouda cheese caused a multistate outbreak. There were 38 total cases across 5 states, including 2 cases in Nevada (“Multistate outbreak”, The CDC estimates there are 265,000 STEC infections in the United States annually coli”, Figure 5-10 E.coli outbreak strain by State Source: Centers for Disease Control; http://www.cdc.gov/ecoli/ ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-28 Table 5-6: Historic Occurrences of Epidemics Registered in Nevada Date Details Feb 1992 Cholera outbreak confirmed.

Cholera or cholera-like developed in 67 passengers of Flight 386. Spring 2000 Five cases of the measles confirmed. Outbreak identified and confirmed, Clark County Health District (CCHD) Office of Epidemiology (OOE) worked with the Immunization Clinic and the media to alert the community about the prevention of the spread of the disease. Oct 2004 Norovirus confirmed at a major public accommodation facility on the Strip. Apr 2009 H1N1 virus confirmed by the WHO as a worldwide epidemic. There were 4,624 cases of H1N1 in Nevada, with 100 cases in Lyon County. Feb 2014 A canine positive for bat rabies resulted in a four county (Carson City, Douglas, Lyon, and El Dorado) contact investigation. This investigation consisted of 47 individuals with potential exposure to rabies. Oct-Dec 2015 Norovirus outbreak caused over 2,000 staffers, faculty, and students in the Washoe County School District to be sickened. July-Sept 2017 There are 12 confirmed cases of West Nile virus in Lyon County. Mar 2017 A community wide pertussis outbreak occurred in three counties (Carson City, Douglas, and Lyon). This outbreak lasted three months, consisted of 10 cases and over 100 contacts that required assessment and post exposure prophylaxis. 5.2.4.3 Location, Extent, and Probability of Future Events An epidemic in Lyon County would create a regional response requiring coordination among public health, healthcare partners, Lyon County, neighboring counties, state and federal agencies. Segments of the population at highest risk for contracting an illness from a foreign pathogen are the very young, the elderly, pregnant women, or individuals who currently experience respiratory or immune deficiencies. These segments of the population are present within the County. Due to the wide variation in disease characteristics, the warning time for a disease disaster can vary from no time to months, depending upon the nature of the disease. No warning time may be available due to an extremely contagious disease with a short incubation period, particularly if combined with a terrorist attack in a crowded environment. However, there are agencies in place that have capabilities to prevent, detect, and respond to these types of diseases, such as the CDC, and the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH). This provides a positive, balancing influence to the overall outcome of a disease disaster event. The probability and magnitude of disease occurrence, particularly an epidemic, is difficult to evaluate due to the wide variation in disease characteristics, such as rate of spread, morbidity and mortality, detection and response time, and the availability of vaccines and other forms of ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-29 prevention. A review of the historical record (see above) indicates that disease-related disasters do occur in humans with some regularity and varying degrees of severity. There is growing concern, however, about emerging infectious diseases as well as the possibility of a bioterrorism attack. Another growing threat to health is climate change, which is expected to have a significant impact on vector-borne and waterborne infectious diseases worldwide (Shuman, 2010). Epidemics constitute a significant risk to the population of Nevada, particularly as it relates to the frequency in which the Lyon County population travels and the proximity of Las Vegas and Reno’s tourist population. Of highest concern is in the Reno area, in various entertainment venues, and Reno/Tahoe International Airport. The transient nature of the Washoe County population, coupled with dense population gatherings increase the potential for an epidemic as well as for its spread into neighboring counties such as Lyon County. Climate Change: Temperature dependencies are seen in correlations between disease rates and weather variations over weeks, months or years and in close geographic associations between key climate variables and the distributions of important vector-borne diseases. These temperature dependencies can impact both humans and livestock. Temperature has also been found to affect food-borne infectious diseases. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-30 5.2.5 Extreme Heat Planning Significance - Lyon County – Medium City of Fernley – Medium City of Yerington - Medium 5.2.5.1 Nature According to the NWS, extreme heat occurs when temperatures reach high levels or when the combination of heat and humidity causes the air to become oppressive and stifling. Generally, extreme heat is considered to be 10 degrees F above a county’s mean temperature over an extended period of time. However, extreme heat can manifest itself in several ways:  During a period of time of sweltering humidity, which reaches levels commonly associated with moist tropical regions, stress on the body can be exacerbated when atmospheric conditions cause pollutants to be trapped near the ground.  In an excessively dry condition, strong winds and blowing dust can worsen the situation.  When there is a rise in the heat index, the body’s perception of the “apparent” temperature is based on both the air’s real temperature and the amount of moisture present in the air. Humidity and mugginess make the temperature seem higher than it is. In high humidity, an 85 degree F day may be perceived as having reached 95 degrees F. During heat or extreme heat, local NWS offices can issue heat-related messages as conditions warrant, including:  Excessive Heat Outlook: when the potential exists for an excessive-heat event in the next three to seven days. The NWS will provide an indication of areas where people and animals may need to take precautions against the heat. It is based on a combination of temperature and humidity over a certain number of days. An outlook is used to indicate that a heat event may develop. It is intended to provide information to those who need considerable lead time to prepare for the event, such as public utilities, emergency management personnel, and public health officials.  Excessive Heat Watch: when conditions are favorable for an excessive heat event in the next 12 to 48 hours. The term “watch” is used when the risk of a heat wave has increased, but its occurrence and timing are still uncertain. It is intended to provide enough lead time so those who need to set their plans in motion can do so, such as cities that have excessive-heat event mitigation plans. Also, a watch notice is issued when heat indices in excess of 105 degrees F during the day, combined with nighttime low temperatures of 80 degrees F, or higher, are forecast to occur for two consecutive days.  Excessive Heat Warning/Advisory: when an excessive heat event is expected in the next 36 hours. These warnings are issued when an excessive heat event is occurring, is imminent, or has a very high probability of occurrence. The warning is issued when these conditions are present: a heat index of at least 105 degrees F for more than three hours per day for two consecutive days, or a heat index of more than 115 degrees F for ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-31 any period of time. The warning is used for conditions posing a threat to life or property. An advisory is for less-serious conditions, but still cause significant discomfort or inconvenience and, if caution is not taken, could lead to a threat to life and/or property. 5.2.5.2. History Records regarding temperature averages and record highs is available for the Lyon County cities and communities of Dayton, Fernley, Silver City, Silver Springs, Smith and Yerington from The Weather Channel. Based upon the available information for 2018, the highest recorded temperature is 104 degrees Fahrenheit, recorded in Fernley. The most recent Heat Wave that occurred was July 26-31, 2016. Stagnant high-pressure, dry conditions, and ample sunshine allowed temperatures to soar above 10 + at Yerington for 6 consecutive days. The length of extreme heat was unusual. The warmest temperatures was 105 on July 30. Typically in Western Nevada heat health impacts tart increasing dramatically when high temperatures are 105+ and overnight lows are around 70+.

Location, Extent, and Probability of Future Events When an excessive heat event occurs, it likely affects the low elevations in the County; all Lyon County cities are located in these lower elevation areas. Once higher elevations are reached, the unincorporated areas of the County, extremely high heat levels are less likely. The hottest months are July and August; with average temperatures in the cities ranging from 90 degrees F to 95 degrees F in July and 88 degrees F to 93 degrees F in August. Based on historical occurrences in various cities throughout the County, Lyon County can expect to experience average temperatures equal to or greater than 95 degrees F every July, every year. The County can also expect temperatures to exceed 100 degrees F every summer. It is highly likely that high heat events will occur within a calendar year affecting Lyon County (1/1=100 percent chance of occurring). Event history is 100 percent likely per year. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-33 5.2.6 Flood Planning Significance - Lyon County – High City of Fernley – High City of Yerington - High 5.2.6.1 Nature A flood occurs when the existing channel of a stream, river, canyon, or other watercourse cannot contain excess runoff from rainfall or snowmelt, resulting in overflow on to adjacent lands. A floodplain is the area adjacent to a watercourse or other body of water that is subject to recurring floods. Floodplains may change over time from natural processes, changes in the River channels change as water moves acting on the channel banks and on the channel bottom. On the outside of a channel curve, the banks are subject to erosion as the water scours against them. On the inside of a channel curve, the banks receive deposits of sand and sediment transferred from the eroded sites. In areas where flow contains a high-sediment load, the course of a river or stream may shift dramatically during a single flood event. As noted in the 2010 Nevada Standard Hazard Mitigation Plan, much of Nevada is part of the Great Basin (an area of internal drainage, in which streams are not connected to rivers that flow to the oceans), as a result, flood waters will commonly drain into interior lakes, wetland areas or playas. The following describes various types of flooding:  Channel flooding is characterized by lateral channel migration during major flows, which results in abrupt changes in the horizontal alignment or location of the channel. Other characteristics include localized channel bed and bank-scour in addition to the potential for over-bank flow inundation.  Sheet flooding is characterized by channel having minimal capacity, water flowing across broad areas at relatively shallow depths, and gently sloping terrain. Damage from these events include localized scour and deposition of extensive amounts of sediments and debris typically associated with sheet flow. If the depth of the water is high enough, water may encroach into low-lying structures within the floodplain.  Alluvial fan flooding refers to flooding occurring on the surface of an alluvial fan or similar landform characterized by high-velocity flows, active erosion processes, sediment transportation and deposition, and unpredictable flowpaths. Flow depths with alluvial fan flooding are generally shallow with damage resulting from inundation, variable flow paths, localized scour and the deposition of debris. Alluvial flooding is potentially more dangerous than riverine flooding due to its unpredictable nature resulting in difficulties associated with threat identification.  Flash flooding is characterized by the time scale in which it develops: a flash flood generally develops in less than six hours. Flash flood waters also move at very fast speeds and have the power to move boulders, tear out trees, and destroy both buildings and transportation infrastructure. During a flash flood, walls of water can reach heights of 10 to 20 feet. This combination of power and suddenness makes flash floods particularly dangerous. They are likely to occur in areas with steep slopes and sparse vegetation. These floods arise when storms produce a high volume of rainfall in a short period, over a watershed where runoff collects quickly as well as in the mountain areas resulting in the massive melting of the snow pack leading to heavy run off. They are likely to occur in areas ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-34 with steep slopes and sparse vegetation. They often strike with little warning and are accompanied by high velocity flow. Various factors determine the severity of floods such as rainfall intensity and duration, watershed conditions (slope, soil type, presence of vegetation) and the existence of flood control features, both natural and human-built. 5.2.6.2 History Typically underestimated due to the arid climate, few perennial streams, and low precipitation, flooding is the most common hazard occurring in the state of Nevada. The National Climatic Data Center’s (NCDC) Storm Event Database has flood records dating back to 1993. From 1993-2017, there have been 18 different flooding events that affected Lyon County; total damages to private property and public facilities are reported at $29.681 million. Since 1965, five Presidential Disaster Declarations have been issued for flood events affecting Lyon County. Table 5-8 provides details on each of the floods listed in the Storm Event Database. The Carson River and Walker River are the main sources of flooding. Although the Truckee River does not pass through Lyon County, the associated Truckee River Canal does pose a flooding hazard to the County. The Nevada State Hazard Mitigation Plan ranks the Walker River as the 3rd most vulnerable river for flooding, with approximately $83 million in potential losses, and the Carson River at 4th, with approximately $70 million in potential losses. Table 5-8. Lyon County Floods from 1993 – present Date Damage January 2017 A strong atmospheric river brought heavy rain with widespread flooding on the 8th and 9th. There was a period of snow on the 7th, as well as freezing rain in some lower valleys into the morning of the 8th. Pre-emptive planning caused the closure of public schools and courts in Washoe County on the 9th. Many roads were closed due to flooding, overwhelmed and blocked culverts, and debris flows in the Reno-Sparks, Carson City, and Minden areas on the 8th. A damage estimate from Washoe County Emergency Management for the entire county in January was over $15M, with much of the damage between the 7th and 9th. In Storey County, a damage estimate from flooding and snow in January was $6M for public infrastructure. Twenty five structures, including at least 10 homes (one 8-plex and two single-family homes), were damaged by flood waters in Dayton by the morning of the 9th. Flooding of the two single family homes in East Dayton may have been largely due to breaks in ditches and culverts incapable of handling the exceptionally large volume of water. Water depth varied from 6 inches to as much as 3 feet on the south side of the Carson River. Standing flood waters lasted for at least several days after the initial flood surge on the 8th. Schools were closed county-wide on the 9th. The damage estimate from the Lyon County Emergency Manager is considered very low-end and could actually be several million dollars for Dayton alone. In February, a Federal Disaster Declaration was approved for the January flooding. June 2017 Hot temperatures brought isolated, high-based thunderstorms with strong outflow winds and a very localized flash flood. Thunderstorms with heavy rainfall persisted for almost 2 hours in the hills east of Yerington (near the Lyon/Mineral County line). A deputy sheriff reported a large wall of water coming down from the hills (in a typically dry wash). A National Weather Service employee investigated the scene a week later and noticed high water marks as much as 2.5 feet above Prospect St, with water damage to landscaping for multiple properties. Appreciable sediment was noted on Bybee Ln, Almond Rd, and Prospect St, with damage to Bybee Ln. (unpaved road). Damage roughly estimated based on little or no known home damage (mainly landscaping, unpaved roads). ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-35 June 2017 Low pressure near the northern California coast and daytime heating combined to bring strong to severe thunderstorms to the western Nevada Basin and Range on the 24th and 25th.

Location, Extent, and Probability of Future Events Figures B-6 through B-11 (Appendix B) illustrate the locations of the 100 year, 100 to 500 year and over 500 year floodplains in Lyon County. Flooding is present throughout Lyon County, but the areas most susceptible to flooding are the City of Yerington and the Communities of Dayton, Mason Valley and Silver Springs. Additionally, the southern portion of Lyon County and part of the far eastern portion of the county is mapped as Zone D, which is an area with “possible, but undetermined flood hazards.” Figure B-8 illustrates the FEMA Flood Hazard Zones for the City of Fernley. While this does not illustrate major flooding susceptibility for the City of Fernley we know from the January 2008 events, that the City of Fernley is highly susceptible to flooding; these events received a Federal disaster declaration. In recent history the floods of January 1997 and January and June 2016 -2017 were the worst Lyon County has seen. In the Yerington area flooding surpassed both the 100 year and the 500 year floodplains. The magnitude of flooding that is used as the standard for floodplain management in the United States is a flood with a probability of occurrence of 1 percent in any given year. This flood is also known as the 100-year flood or base flood. The most readily available source of information regarding the 100-year flood, as well as the 500-year flood (0.2 percent probability of occurrence in any given year), is the system of Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) prepared by FEMA. These maps are used to support the NFIP. FEMA has prepared a digital FIRM (DFIRM), effective January 16, 2009, for the Cities of Fernley and Yerington and most recently a FIRM effective October 20, 2016 for the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Lyon County. Table 5-9 lists the date of the initially mapped FIRM and the emergency/regular program entrance date into the NFIP. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-38 Table 5-9 Date of Initially Mapped FIRM and Emergency/Regular Program Entrance Date into NFIP for Lyon County and the Cities County/Community Name Date of Initially Mapped FIRM REG-EMER DATE into NFIP Current Effective Map Date City of Fernley 09/30/82 06/04/03 01/16/09 City of Yerington 09/30/82 09/30/82 01/16/09 Lyon County 09/30/82 09/30/82 10/20/16 Source FEMA Flood Map Service Center Climate change studies state that increased warming increases the capacity of the atmosphere to hold moisture, which leads to more water vapor in the atmosphere. Individual storms supplied with increased moisture might produce more intense precipitation events. Further warmer conditions between summer thunderstorms can additionally dry and compact the soil, making it more impervious to heavy rain, increasing the rate of run off during flash floods. Aside from severe storms, flooding is the most frequent natural hazard event in Lyon County. Floods can cause a tremendous amount of damage within the county and the cities; not only to private property but also a majority of that damage is generally limited to transportation infrastructure. In contrast though, flash-flooding resultant from summer thunderstorms could happen anywhere within the county, but not nearly at the level of a winter flood event. Although a flood is not going to occur with the frequency of a severe storm, individual citizens, families, and businesses of the county and cities should to be prepared to address floods when they occur. As in the case of earthquake, fire, and other natural disasters, citizens should prepare themselves before such an event takes place. To be able to effectively address flood problems, citizens, families, and businesses should: 1. Have a plan, including a set of alternate travel routes. 2. Store extra supplies of food and water. 3. Store other related supplies such as flashlights, batteries, firewood, etc. 4. Have a battery-operated radio within their home or business. 5. Stay aware of weather trends, especially after considerable periods of snowfall and early season warm spring run-off. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-39 5.2.7 Hail and Thunderstorm Planning Significance - Lyon County – Medium City of Fernley – Medium City of Yerington – Medium 5.2.7.1 Nature Hail is a solid form of precipitation; it consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is referred to as a hail stone. Hail has a diameter of .20 inches or more and can grow to 6.0 inches and weigh more than 1.1 pounds. Any thunderstorm which produces hail that reaches the ground is known as a hailstorm. When updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere they freeze, becoming hail. When the thunderstorm’s updraft can no longer support the weight of the ice or the updraft weakens, the hail falls. Unlike ice pellets, hail stones are layered and can be irregular and clumped together. Hail is made of thick and translucent layers, alternating with layers that are thin, white and opaque; a cross-section through a large hailstone shows an onion-like structure. A storm's updraft blows forming hailstones up the cloud. As the hailstone ascends it passes into areas of the cloud where the concentration of humidity and super cooled water droplets varies. The hailstone’s growth rate changes depending on the variation in humidity and super cooled water droplets that it encounters. When the hailstone moves into an area with a high concentration of water droplets, it captures the latter and acquires a translucent layer. Should the hailstone move into an area where mostly water vapor is available, it acquires a layer of opaque white ice. Often large hail is observed immediately north of a tornado track - but the presence of hail does not always mean a tornado and the absence of hail does not always mean there is not a risk of tornadoes. Hail can cause serious damage to plants, cars, homes, buildings and crops. Hail results in nearly $1 billion in damage annually to property and crops in the United States. A hail stone of .39 inches in diameter (1 centimeter) falls at a rate of about 20 miles per hour. A stone of 3.1 inches in diameter (8 centimeters) falls at a rate of about 110 miles per hour. 5.2.7.2 History Hail storms have occurred throughout Lyon County’s history. Fortunately, the vast majority of the time the hail storms have been small in size and have not been destructive. Since 1982 nine hail storms have been reported by the NCDC Storm Event database. One event resulted in injuries, loss of life and property damage. On May 27, 2008 a woman lost control of vehicle on slick pavement, due to an accumulation of small hair. She was ejected from her SUV as it rolled down an embankment. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The event also resulted in two injuries and five thousand dollars of property damage. As reported by the Storm Event database, Table 5-10 below illustrates Lyon County’s history of hail storms. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-40 Table 5-10.

Location, Extent, and Probability of Future Events All of Lyon County and the Cities of Fernley and Yerington are susceptible to hail and thunderstorm events, but the areas that have experienced the most extreme events include the County Unincorporated outside of Yerington, and the communities of Dayton, Lux, Silver Springs and Weed Heights. The severity of hail events is based upon multiple factors including the size of the hail, the winds and the objects in the path of the hail storm. Storms that produce high winds in addition to hail are most damaging and can result in numerous broken windows and damaged siding. Hailstorms can cause extensive property damage affecting both urban and rural landscapes. Fortunately, most hailstorms produce marble‐size or smaller hailstones. These can cause damage to crops, but they normally do not damage buildings or automobiles. Larger hailstones can destroy crops, livestock and wildlife and can cause extensive damage to buildings, including roofs, windows and outside walls. Vehicles can be total losses. When hail breaks windows, water damage from accompanying rains can also be significant. A major hailstorm can easily cause damage running into the millions of dollars. The following table, Table 5-11, illustrates hail intensity by size. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-41 Table 5-11.

Ten hail events have occurred since 1982 (a 9 in 30 years chance of occurring – 9/30 = 30 percent), therefore, the probability of a future hailstorm in Lyon County is roughly a 30 percent chance per year. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-42 5.2.8 Hazardous Materials Events Planning Significance - Lyon County – High City of Fernley – High City of Yerington - High 5.2.8.1 Nature Hazardous materials are substances that may have negative effects on health or the environment. Exposure to hazardous materials may cause injury, illness, or death. Effects may be felt over seconds, minutes, or hours (short-term effects) or not emerge until days, weeks, or even years after exposure (long-term effects). Also, some substances are harmful after a single exposure of short duration, but others require long episodes of exposure or repeated exposure over time to cause harm. The toxicity of a specific substance is one important factor in determining the risk it poses, but other factors can be just as important, if not more so. Factors affecting the severity of an accidental release include:  Toxicity  Quantity  Dispersal characteristics  Location of release in relation to population and sensitive environmental areas  Efficacy of response and recovery actions Hazardous materials can be found almost everywhere in our society. Paints, solvents, adhesives, gasoline, household cleaners, batteries, pesticides and herbicides, and even medicines are all potential sources of hazardous materials. This plan does not focus on the hazards contained in everyday products, but rather on the hazards associated with potential releases of hazardous substances from transportation corridors (mobile incident) and fixed facilities (fixed incident) within the County. Hazardous materials are generally classified by their primary health effects on humans. Some common types include the following:  Anesthetics and narcotics are substances that depress the central nervous system.  are substances that interfere with normal breathing and can cause suffocation.  Explosives are substances that pose a risk of exploding; fires and chemical effects may also be a danger.  Flammable materials are substances that catch fire easily, though they may also pose other dangers, such as explosion or chemical effects.  Irritants cause burns or irritation to body tissues such as eyes, nose, throat, lungs, or skin. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-43 Mobile incidents include those that occur on a roadway or a railroad. Mobile incident-related releases are dangerous because they can occur anywhere, including close to human populations, assets and utilities, or environmentally sensitive areas. Mobile incident-related releases can also be more difficult to mitigate because of the great area over which any given incident might occur and the potential distance of the incident site from response resources. 5.2.8.2. History The National Response Center’s (NRC) Internet-based query system of non-Privacy Act data shows that since 1990, 12 mobile incidents have been reported; causes include equipment failure, operator error, dumping and transportation accident. These incidents are listed in Table 5-12 Table 5-12.

Location, Extent, and Probability of Future Events In Lyon County, a mobile hazardous material event is most likely to occur along major transportation routes, which includes Highways 50 and 95 and Interstate 80, and the railroad tracks. Figure B-12 (Appendix B) illustrates the most susceptible transportation corridors, including a 1 mile buffer. Trucks and rail cars that use these transportation corridors commonly carry a variety of hazardous materials, including gasoline, other petroleum products, and other chemicals known to cause human health problems, including fertilizers, pesticides, and industrial chemicals. Cities and communities that are bisected by both major highways and railroad tracks include Fernley and Silver Springs. However, the entire County is vulnerable to a hazardous material event. Comprehensive information on the probability and magnitude of a hazardous material event along transportation corridors is not available. Wide variations among the characteristics of hazardous material sources and among the materials themselves make such an evaluation difficult. As such, the extent of a hazardous material mobile incident is unknown. The probability of future events, based on most recent occurrences (the past fifteen years, 2002- present) it is likely that a minor hazardous materials event due to a vehicular accident will occur every year (an 8 in 10 years chance of occurring – 8/10 = 80 percent). Hazardous material incidents due to railroads are not common; only one incident has been reported to the NRC (a 1 in 22 years chance of occurring - 1/22 = 4.5 percent). History of events illustrates that the probability of a mobile hazardous material event is greater than 80 percent per year. The release of hazardous substances from stationary sources (Fixed Incidents) can be caused by human error, equipment failure, intentional dumping, acts of terrorism, or natural phenomena. Earthquakes pose a particular risk, because they can damage or destroy facilities containing hazardous substances. The threat posed by a hazardous-material event can be amplified by restricted access, reduced fire suppression and spill containment capability, and even complete cutoff of response personnel and equipment. Unless exempted, facilities that use, manufacture, or store hazardous materials in the United States fall under the regulatory requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986. Under EPCRA regulations, hazardous materials that pose the greatest risk for causing catastrophic emergencies are identified as Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs). These chemicals are identified by the EPA in the List of Lists – Consolidated List of Chemicals Subject to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. Additionally, the State of Nevada requires that all chemicals in quantities as listed in the International Fire Code (2006 Edition, Chapter 1 and 27) must be reported and the owner must obtain a hazardous materials permit. This permit must be renewed annually and is obtained through the Department of Public Safety, State Fire Marshal’s Division. According to the NRC, there have been 21 reported fixed incidents in Lyon County since 1991. These events were caused by dumping, equipment failure, operator error, and other or unknown causes. These incidents are listed in Table 5-13.The largest reported release was 100 to 150 ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-45 gallons, although many incident reports did not include the amount or volume of material released.

Hazardous material permits are also obtained from the State’s Department of Public Safety. Throughout the planning area EHS facilities and facilities on record as a State hazardous material permittee are identified throughout the County including the City of Yerington, City of Fernley, and Lyon County unincorporated. Figure B-13 (Appendix B) shows the location of EHS and hazardous material permittee facilities; areas at risk of hazardous material events include any areas within a 1-miles radius of any designated facility. Comprehensive information on the magnitude of a hazardous material event at fixed locations is not available. While a total of 4,790 facilities have been identified in Lyon County, wide variations among the characteristics of hazardous material sources and among the materials themselves make an evaluation of the magnitude of an event difficult. Additionally, the extent of a release is also based on factors such as equipment maintenance, operator training, the potential of natural phenomena to disrupt handling and storage of the materials and potential weather distribution patterns. As such, the extent of a hazardous material fixed incident is unknown. Comprehensive information on probability of a hazardous material event at fixed locations is not available. Similar to extent, the probability of a release is based on factors such as equipment maintenance, operator training, and the potential of natural phenomena to disrupt handling and storage of the materials. Based on previous event history, it is likely an incident will occur within Lyon County from a fixed hazardous material event once a year (a 21/22=95 percent chance of occurring). History of events is greater than 95 percent likely per year. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-47 5.2.9 Infestation Planning Significance - Lyon County – Low City of Fernley – Low City of Yerington - Low 5.2.9.1 Nature An "invasive species" is defined as a species that is: 1) Non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration and 2) Whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health. Invasive species can be plants, animals (including aquatic species) and other organisms (e.g. Microbes). Source: United States Dept. of Agriculture, National Agriculture Library (10/5/2007) Infestations impact Nevada's economy through the destruction of crops and natural resources, which also impacts tourism. Some of the plant infestations are highly flammable and assist in the spread of wildfires. Human actions are the primary means of introduction and spread of invasive species. 5.2.9.2 History.

The leaves and sheathes are covered in short soft hairs. The flowers occur as drooping, open, terminal clusters that can have a greenish, red, or purple hue. These annual plants will ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-49 germinate in fall or spring (fall is more common) and senescence usually occurs in summer. Cheatgrass invades rangelands, pastures, prairies, and other open areas. Cheatgrass has the potential to completely alter the ecosystems it invades. It can completely replace native vegetation and change fire regimes. It occurs throughout the United States and Canada, but is most problematic in areas of the western United States with lower precipitation levels such as Nevada. Cheatgrass is native to Europe and parts of Africa and Asia. It was first introduced into the United States accidentally in the mid 1800s. • Bromus rubens L. or Red brome: In the North American region red brome is reported to be invasive because it faces low herbaceous competition. Once established, it has the potential to compete with other grasses. The accumulation of litter and necromass has the potential to increase fire frequency in the desert. Red brome-fueled fires result in the loss of native perennial species in invaded areas, resulting in disturbed areas that are ideal for increased growth of red brome. • Lepidium latifolium or Tall White Top or Pepperweed. The robust, spreading roots and numerous seeds of this perennial make control difficult to impossible. It is found in waste places, wet areas, roadsides, ditches and croplands, including alfalfa fields. It can be transported in waterways or hay bales. Animal infestations - Insects The following is a list of invasive insect species infestations currently affecting Nevada:  Africanized honeybees: Imported and bred with European honeybees to increase honey production in South America. The Africanized honeybees are more aggressive than European honeybees with a negative impact on the honey production industry.  Scolytus schevyrewi or Bark Beetle came from Asia. It was first collected in insect traps in Aurora Colorado. The beetle infests and breeds in elm trees stressed by drought.  Solenopsis Invicta or Fire Ants: About 1930, the light fire ant was introduced from South America into the Mobile area, and has since spread to its current range. The ants nest in the soil of open areas, pastures and agronomic fields, but are found occasionally in wooded areas. Mounds are generally dome-shaped in contrast to those of other fire ant species, and the sting, characterized by an intense burning sensation, is more severe. A pustule (not seen in the sting of other species) is formed at the sting site in a day or so, which may become infected. Sensitive individuals can swell up as a result of stings and occasionally die. The ants have a serious impact on agriculture since the hardened mounds interfere with the mechanical cultivation of fields and the ants' painful stings interfere with livestock grazing and the harvesting of crops by farm workers. Mormon crickets are flightless, ground dwelling insects native to the western United States. They eat native, herbaceous perennials (forbs), grasses, shrubs, and cultivated forage crops, reducing feed for grazing wildlife and livestock. In large numbers, their feeding can contribute to soil erosion, poor water quality, nutrient depleted soils, and potentially cause ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-50 damage to range and cropland ecosystems. Drought encourages Mormon cricket outbreaks, which may last several years (historically 5 to 21 years) and cause substantial economic losses to rangeland, cropland, and home gardens. Figure 5-11. Regional Distribution of Mormon Crickets, August 2005 Source: University of Nevada, Cooperative Extension – Identification and Management of Mormon Crickets fact sheet 06-16 Animal infestations – aquatic species Aquatic species that have become a particular concern in Nevada in recent years are: zebra mussels, quagga mussels, Asian clams, and New Zealand mud snails. Zebra mussels were first found at Lake Mead in 2004 and quagga mussels were found there in 2007. Since that time, the population has exploded, now numbering in the trillions. Both mussels are nuisance invasive species that reproducing quickly and in large numbers. They are biofoulers that obstruct pipes in municipal and industrial raw-water systems, requiring millions of dollars annually to maintain. They produce microscopic larvae that float freely in the water column, and thus can pass by screens installed to exclude them. Monitoring and control of these mussels cost millions of dollars annually. As filter feeders, zebra and quagga mussels remove suspended material from the habitat in which they live. This includes the planktonic algae that are the primary base of the food web. Thus, these mussels may completely alter the ecology of water bodies in which they invade. As yet, no quagga or zebra mussels have been found in Lake Tahoe or any other northern Nevada lakes and reservoirs but zebra mussels have been found in a northern California reservoir southeast of San Francisco, and a UNR researcher has determined that Lake Tahoe water can support these species. Proactive measures are being taken by a number of groups to prevent the spread of these species into Lake Tahoe and the Truckee watershed. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-51 For the past two years, the Tahoe Resource Conservation District’s invasive species program has included a boat inspection effort in the Tahoe Basin to prevent the introduction of quagga and zebra mussels into the area. While discarded zebra mussel pupa cases were found at Lahontan, the last five water tests during a fifteen month period have been negative. Lahontan staff currently performs watercraft inspections before they allow boats to launch in the lake. The Truckee Meadows Water Authority is funding a new program with more than $231,000 from the Truckee River Fund, money collected from utility bills to pay for projects and protect the Truckee River. In spring 2010, the program efforts will include monitoring lakes and reservoirs within the Truckee River system for the presence of adult or juvenile mussels. A program to inspect boats launching into at least one lake, such as Boca Reservoir, should also begin this spring and will later be expanded. The Asian clam is a relatively new aquatic invasive species that is becoming established in Lake Tahoe. Asian clams can impact Lake Tahoe’s environment by: • Releasing nitrogen and phosphorus to the lake, resulting in algal blooms. • Negatively impacting drinking water by clogging intake pipes. • Littering beaches with their sharp shells, negatively impacting recreation. There is an ongoing current project in 2010 by the Tahoe Resource Conservation District to physically remove Asian clams from south shore areas of Lake Tahoe and install large plastic bottom barrier sheets to cover and terminate Asian clam populations by reducing oxygen and food availability. New Zealand Mud Snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum The New Zealand mud snail is a nuisance aquatic species now reported in a few Nevada streams along the periphery of the state (see map in Figure 3-21). It is reported in all western states, except New Mexico and is listed as an invasive species in California. It reproduces rapidly, competes for food with native gastropods and other species, and is detrimental to trout populations because of its lack of nutritional value. It is not yet a huge problem but is being monitored in the state and may become more of a problem in the future. 5.2.9.3. Location, Extent, and Probability or Future Events In 2009, the Nevada Natural Heritage Foundation developed limited maps for the State. These maps showed Diffuse Knapweed and Tall White Top/Perennial Pepperweed along the western portion of Highway 80, in the Truckee Canal and in Stillwater and Russian Knapweed and Yellow Starthistle near Fallon. The Nevada Division of Forestry provided a map of Cheat Grass (due to its high fire hazard) and this is provided in Appendix B, Figure B-The Interstate 80 corridor provides transportation of weed seed and the area around Fallon is agricultural land with water as well as a transportation corridor from U.S. 50. The severity of noxious weed ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-52 infestations is continuously monitored by the State Department of Agriculture’s A, B, C categorization of noxious weeds described in the previous section. There are currently no known infestations of insects or aquatic species however, the infestation of insects could affect the agricultural crops around the Fallon area and aquatic species could affect the Lahontan Reservoir, Carson River and the canals. The probability for infestations causing damage is low in the County and very low in the City of Fallon. The Nevada Hazard Mitigation Planning Subcommittee agreed that plant, insect, and aquatic organism infestations will continue to occur throughout the state as recreation and commerce continue to move people and property across state lines. Cooperative efforts are necessary among state, federal, agencies and other interested regional groups to implement programs to control and mitigate the effects of infestations on all aspects of the state’s environment and economy. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-53 5.2.10 Land Subsidence Planning Significance - Lyon County – Medium City of Fernley – Medium City of Yerington - Medium 5.2.10.1. Nature In the southwestern United States, agricultural and urban areas that depend on aquifer groundwater pumping are prone to land subsidence. Nonrecoverable land subsidence occurs when declining water levels lead to inelastic water compaction. A lesser amount of subsidence occurs with the recoverable compression of course-grained sands and gravel deposits. A common feature that accompanies subsidence is earth fissures, which are tension cracks in the sediment above the water table. Land subsidence can be caused by actions other than overdrafting of water. Mining, hydrocompaction, and underground fluid withdrawal (water, oil, or other fluid) can cause this hazard and result in land surface displacements and fissures. Nevada is composed primarily of three characterizations of aquifers: alluvial aquifers carbonate aquifers and igneous and metamorphic-rock aquifers. Lyon County is composed of alluvial aquifers, which consists mostly of gravels, sands, silts and clays. 5.2.10.2 History Historically, subsidence problems in Nevada have been centered around the Las Vegas Valley. More recently, the hazard of subsidence has been recognized in other parts of Nevada. No major incidents of subsidence have occurred in Lyon County, but local concern has been reported by the communities of Mason Valley and Silver City, and the City of Yerington. As per the State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, “In the Nevada Hazard Mitigation Survey, Douglas, Nye, Storey, and Washoe Counties recognized that land subsidence is a risk. Evidence of groundwater-withdrawal-related land subsidence and local fissuring has been recognized near some of the large open-pit mining areas in Humboldt, Lander, Eureka, and Elko Counties. Sections of Interstate 80 west of Battle Mountain have been repaired because earth fissures developed in the freeway near one of the mines probably related to groundwater-withdrawal related issues. The primary problem in Storey County is one of collapse into excavations related to old mines on the Comstock Lode in Virginia City. This phenomenon is unrelated to groundwater withdrawal and is a human-caused hazard similar to sinkholes that develop in areas with natural caverns near the surface. Las Vegas Valley in Clark County has more dramatic problems which include vertical aquifer-system deformation, land subsidence, and earth fissuring that have caused millions of dollars of damage and might have altered boundaries of flood-prone areas. Land subsidence is considered by the Subcommittee to be a ―Low Risk‖ hazard. Unlike the rapid occurrences of fires, earthquakes, and floods, land subsidence generally occurs slowly, developing over periods of weeks, months, and years and affects localized areas. Mine-collapse in Storey County is also considered to be ―Low Risk‖ from the State‘s perspective, because it will likely only affect localized areas and because recent mining in the area has indicated that most of the stopes (large openings) along the Comstock ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-54 Lode have been filled by clay and weak rock, characteristic of the wall rock of the Comstock Lode, over the years since mining ceased. Nonetheless, the mine-collapse hazard is a serious consideration for officials, businesses, and residents in Virginia City. Due to Nevada‘s history of new development and pressures on water systems, the state will most likely see more subsidence problems. However, mitigation may be achievable through education programs; revision of building codes; artificial recharging of ground water and geotechnical investigation of the land prior to building.” 5.2.10.3 Location, Extent, and Probability or Future Events As illustrated in Figure 5-12, aquifers are found beneath all of Lyon County therefore the entire County is susceptible to subsidence. However, the areas of most concern are the communities of Mason Valley and Silver City, and the City of Yerington. The effects of subsidence tend occur slowly, developing over weeks, months and years. Currently visual effects of subsidence (such as sink holes and ground collapse) are not present in Lyon County. Subsidence does however have the potential to lead to major issues; subsidence can cause vertical aquifer-system deformation and earth fissuring which can result in millions of dollars of damage, can lead to mine-collapsing and can also altered boundaries of flood-prone areas. While the State of Nevada considers subsidence to be a “very low risk hazard,” due to Nevada’s history of new development and pressures on the water systems it is expected that the State will most likely see more subsidence problems. However, mitigation can work to reduce the extent of future efforts. Lyon County’s Comprehensive Master Plan has adopted strategies which will help mitigate the effects of subsidence, such as: encouraging conservation and efficient use of water, through utility rate structure, landscaping standards, education, and other programs; and promoting “limited impact”/environmentally safe resource extraction practices. As Lyon County continues to grow, land subsidence will continue to occur as long as the net annual groundwater withdrawal continues to exceed the net annual recharge. Lyon County is aware of the negative effects that can occur due to development and pressures on water systems, and is working to reduce the impacts of the built environment. The concern for subsidence is expected to remain, however it is also expected to remain a very low risk hazard. Therefore, the probability of future subsidence occurrence in Lyon County is a 1 percent chance per year. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-55 Figure 5-12.

The term is used for varying phenomena, including mudflows, mudslides, debris flows, rock falls, rock slides, debris avalanches, debris slides, and slump-earth flows. Landslides may result from a wide range of combinations of natural rock, soil, or artificial fill. The susceptibility of hillside and mountainous areas to landslides depends on variations in geology, topography, vegetation, and weather. Landslides may also occur because of indiscriminate development of sloping ground or the creation of cut-and-fill slopes in areas of unstable or inadequately stable geologic conditions. Additionally, landslides often occur together with other natural hazards, thereby exacerbating conditions, as described below:  Shaking due to earthquakes can trigger events ranging from rock falls and topples to massive slides.  Intense or prolonged precipitation that causes flooding can also saturate slopes and cause failures leading to landslides.  Wildfires can remove vegetation from hillsides, significantly increasing runoff and landslide potential.  Landslides into a reservoir can indirectly compromise dam safety; a landslide can even affect the dam itself. Another type of landslide in Nevada occurs in areas cut by perennial streams. As floodwaters erode its channel banks, the river has undercut clay-rich sedimentary rocks along its south bank, thereby destabilizing the ground and causing the ground above it to slide. 5.2.11.2 History No major landslides have been recorded in Lyon County. 5.2.11.3 Location, Extent, and Probability or Future Events In Lyon County, areas that are more prone to landslides include the foothill and mountain areas where fractured and steep slopes are present, where less-consolidated or weathered soils overlie bedrock, or where inadequate ground cover accelerates erosion. Erosion and slumping of soils can also occur along bluffs along the Carson, Truckee and Walker rivers. Therefore, the entire County is susceptible to landslides. For the State of Nevada in general, landslides are considered a “low risk hazard,” primarily because Nevada is drier (in terms of average annual precipitation) than other states, and because few people live in steep terrains or on rocks and soils that typically move in landslides. However, ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-57 as development encroaches on areas that are higher in elevation than the valley floors, such as alluvial fans, where most new development and building are occurring, it is likely that landslides and debris flows will become more significant hazards. Lyon County does not have a history of landslide occurrence; no major events have been reported. Therefore, based upon past history, it is not expected that Lyon County will experience a significant landslide event. Probability is greater than 0 percent but less than or equal to 10 percent likely per year. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-58 5.2.12 Severe Winter Storm and Extreme Snowfall Planning Significance - Lyon County – Medium City of Fernley – Medium City of Yerington - Medium 5.2.12.1 Nature Severe winter storms and extreme snowfall can bring heavy rain or snow, high winds, extreme cold, and ice storms. In Nevada, winter storms begin with cyclonic weather systems in the North Pacific Ocean or the Aleutian Islands that can cause massive low pressure storm systems to sweep across the western states. Winter storms plunge southward from artic regions and drop heavy amounts of snow and ice. The severity of winter storms is generally minor. However, a heavy accumulation of ice can create hazardous conditions. Additionally, a large winter storm event can also cause exceptionally high rainfall that persists for days, resulting in heavy flooding. As strong winds and hailstorms have been covered separately in sections above, the focus of this section will be on heavy rain or snow and extreme cold/freezing. 5.2.12.2. History Winter Storm is being characterized by heavy rain, heavy snowfall and extreme/freezing temperatures (as strong winds and hailstorms are captured as their own hazards).

Areas along Pine Grove Hills Mountain Range (Bald Mountain and Mt. Etna) and Pine Nut Mountain Range (Lyon and Rawe Peak) can receive over six feet of snowfall per year. The eastern and more northern portions of the County, including the cities of Fernley, Silver Springs and Yerington get much less snow per year, but still receive up to a foot of snowfall per year.

Location, Extent, and Probability or Future Events The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) developed Climate Maps of the United States. The snowfall map illustrates the annual mean total snowfall. For Lyon County, the areas most susceptible to snowfall can average over 72 inches of snowfall per year, while the area’s least susceptible average 6.1 to 12 inches of snowfall per year. The entire County experiences snowfall. The freeze map developed by NOAA illustrates the average number of non-freeze days per year. All of Lyon County experiences temperatures of 32 degrees F or below. The coldest portions of the County, on average, experience fewer than 120 days per year where the temperature reaches above 32 degrees F. However, even the warmest portions of the County experience only up to 180 days per year where the temperature reaches above 32 degrees F. Based upon past history, Lyon County can expect at least one major winter storm a year (27 recorded events in the last 19 years). Lyon County experiences both snowfall and freezing on an annual basis. The mountainous areas of the County will continue to experience an average of over 72 inches of snowfall per year as well as freezing temperatures for over 245 days per year. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-62 Therefore, it is highly likely that an event will occur within the calendar year. Events have a 1 in 1 year (a 1/1 = 100 percent) chance of occurring. Per NOAA region for Northern Nevada the future impact potential of severe weather events in Lyon County and the cities of Fernley, and Yerington are based on NWS experience in the region and the recent statistics, the combined probability and potential impact of these hazards affecting Lyon County and the cities within the next five years are:  High Risk: High winds from winter storms and thunderstorms, flooding from rivers and flash flooding from thunderstorms.  Moderate Risk: Heavy snowfall, Dust storms, Extreme heat  Low Risk: Tornados, Large Hail and Extreme cold. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update December 10, 2018 5-63 5.2.13 Terrorism/WMD Planning Significance - Lyon County – Medium City of Fernley – Medium City of Yerington - Medium 5.2.13.1 Nature The Department of Justice (DOJ) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines terrorism as the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government and/or the civilian population in furtherance of political or social objectives. Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) associated with terrorism can be chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive in origin. Technological terrorism is defined as the intentional disruption in the nation's data control systems. Attacks on financial, business, and governmental computer networks are being considered as technological terrorist-related acts. As defined by the FBI, international terrorism involves violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any state, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or any state. These acts appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping. International terrorist acts occur outside the United States or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to coerce or intimidate, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum. According to the U.S. Department of State, the current list of designated foreign terrorist organizations contains over 50 groups. Most prominent among these groups are al- Qaida, Al-Shabaab, Boko Harem, HAMAS (Islamic Resistance Movement), ISIS, and Hezbollah (Party of God). These groups share a similar Islamic extremist ideology; however, their objectives and, more importantly, their capabilities are different. As defined by the FBI, domestic terrorism is the unlawful use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States or Puerto Rico without foreign direction committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of political or social objectives. Forms of domestic terrorism include: the illegal acts of those described as Homegrown Violent Extremists (HVEs), Extremists (religious, anti-government, political, etc.), Hate Groups, and Lone Offenders. The FBI is the primary investigatory agency for domestic terrorism. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) monitors potential security threats from foreign sources. The DOJ through the FBI will coordinate the domestic preparedness programs and activities of this nation to address the threat posed by terrorists and the use of weapons of mass destruction. Examples of terrorism include the World Trade Center bombing in New York City, the Murray Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City, the Olympic Centennial Park bombing in Atlanta, ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-64 and the Pan American Flight bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland. Acts of terrorism may originate from a single person, special interest groups, or acts sponsored by a foreign government. Terrorist acts include the use of arson, hostile takeovers, shootings, biological agents (such as anthrax, plague, botulism and others), chemical agents (such as hydrogen cyanide, sulfur mustard, sarin and chlorine), hostage taking, and cyber. The most popular method used in recent events in the United States has been terrorism by bombing. Bioterrorism A bioterrorism attack is the deliberate release of viruses, bacteria, or other germs (agents) used to cause illness or death in people, animals, or plants. Most biological agents are naturally occurring in various parts of the world. They can be weaponized to enhance their virulence, make them resistant to current vaccines and antibiotics, or increase their ability to be spread into the environment. Biological agents can be spread through the air, through water, or in food. Terrorists use biological agents because they can be extremely difficult to detect, they do not cause illness for several hours to several days, and even the threatened use of a bio-weapon can have a tremendous impact on the population. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), bioterrorism agents can be separated into three categories, depending on how easily they can be spread and the severity of illness or death they cause. These three categories include Category A, Category B, and Category C Bioterrorism agents. Following is a description of each category of bioterrorism agents: Category A Bioterrorism Agents These high-priority agents include organisms or toxins that pose the highest risk to the public and national security. They may be easily spread or transmitted from person to person. They result in high death rates, have the potential for major public health threat, and may cause public panic and social disruption. Category A agents include: • Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) • Botulism (Clostridium botulinum toxin) • Plague (Yersinia pestis) • Smallpox (variola major) • Tularemia (Francisella tularensis) • Viral hemorrhagic fevers (filoviruses Ebola, Marburg] and arenaviruses Lassa, Machupo]) Category B Bioterrorism Agents These agents are the second highest priority and are moderately easy to spread. They result in moderate illness rates and low death rates, and they require specific enhancements of CDC’s laboratory capacity and enhanced disease monitoring. Category B agents include: • Brucellosis (Brucella species) • Epsilon toxin of Clostridium perfringens • Food safety threats Salmonella species, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Shigella) • Glanders (Burkholderia mallei) ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-65 • Melioidosis (Burkholderia pseudomallei) • Psittacosis (Chlamydia psittaci) • Q fever (Coxiella burnetii) • Ricin toxin from Ricinus communis (castor beans) • Staphylococcal enterotoxin B • Typhus fever (Rickettsia prowazekii) • Viral encephalitis (alphaviruses Venezuelan equine encephalitis, eastern equine encephalitis, western equine encephalitis]) • Water safety threats Vibrio cholerae, parvum) Category C Bioterrorism Agents These third highest agents include emerging pathogens that could be engineered for mass spread in the future. They are easily available, produced and spread. They have potential for high morbidity, mortality rates, and major health impact. While bioterrorism attacks using any category of agent could create great stress as well as physical illness and death, Category A agents would have a greater impact on public health and national security. Chemical Agents There are many different chemical agents that might be used in a terrorist attack. Varying effects include blistering, choking, incapacitation, and vomiting. Following is a list of chemical agents categorized by effect.

Lyon County and major land areas of Yerington and parts of the city of Fernley have many large agriculture and food producing industry businesses. Therefore the committee determined that this form of terrorism should be included in the plan update. Agro-terrorism, as defined by RAND researcher Peter Chalk, states this type of terrorism focuses on “the deliberate introduction of a disease agent, either against livestock or into the food chain, to undermine the socioeconomic stability and/or to generate fear.” The vulnerabilities that potentially affect the agricultural community stem from: • Concentrated and intensive contemporary farming practices. Highly crowded breeding and rearing conditions mean an outbreak of a contagious disease would be very difficult to contain, especially if it is airborne, and could require the destruction of all exposed livestock. • Increased susceptibility of livestock to disease. This has occurred because of changes in husbandry practices - from sterilization programs to dehorning, branding, and hormone injections - and from the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-67 • Insufficient farm/food-related security and surveillance. Farms seldom incorporate vigorous means to prevent unauthorized access; most animal auctions and barn sales are devoid of organized on-site surveillance; and food processing and packing plants tend to lack uniform security and safety preparedness measures, particularly the small- and· medium-scale facilities that have proliferated in recent years. • An inefficient passive disease-reporting system. Responsibility for reporting unusual occurrences of animal disease lies with livestock producers, who may have disincentives for doing so because of the lack of a consistent program for agricultural indemnity. • Inappropriate veterinarian and diagnostic training. The number of veterinarians able to recognize and treat foreign livestock diseases is declining, reflecting a relatively poorly paid profession that suffers from a lack of appropriate training in exotic animal epidemiology. • A focus on aggregate rather than individual livestock statistics. The movement toward larger herds and breeding operations largely precludes the option of attending to animals individually, making it more likely that emerging diseases will be overlooked. 5.2.13.2 History There is no history of terrorism in Lyon County, the Cities of Fernley or Yerington in the last five years. 5.2.13.3 Location, Extent, and Probability or Future Events All areas of Lyon County and the cities of Fernley and Yerington are potentially susceptible to the impacts of terrorism, though the risk is comparatively higher in areas with larger concentrations of people. According to the FBI, sporting and large concert events, political gatherings, and other special events are attractive targets for domestic and foreign terrorists because they are highly visible and attract celebrities and political leaders. Based on this, the geographic location of high capacity venues is at relatively higher risk of terrorist attack. Other potential targets of terrorist activities include public works facilities, utilities, major infrastructure, and transportation facilities such as airports, bus and train stations. Military bases, schools, medical facilities and other state and federal facilities are other identified potential targets. Based on the Homeland Security Threat-Level System, it is anticipated that terrorism will remain a high to very high threat into the foreseeable future. Because terrorism events typically are focused on a single location or facility, estimated damage is less than one percent damage to facilities in Lyon County. The overall magnitude and potential severity of impacts of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction is considered High/Very High in Churchill County. Considering a worst case scenario, terrorism events can require state level support to respond to the incident, can impact critical facilities and disrupt services for 1 to 3 days, and have citywide economic impacts. More typical terrorism events are handled at the county or city level, disrupt services for less than one day, and economic impacts are limited to the immediate community or part of the county and city involved. Based on assessment of previous occurrences and frequency of contributing factors of terrorism, ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-68 probability of future occurrence is considered Low, with an estimated occurrence of .1 to.5 percent chance of occurrence in a given year. Effective mitigation efforts should take into account location, frequency, severity and impact to the community. Overall planning significance is considered Low. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-69 5.2.14 Wildland Fire Planning Significance - Lyon County – High City of Fernley – High City of Yerington – High 5.2.14.1 Nature A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire spreading through vegetative fuels, exposing and possibly consuming structures. They often begin unnoticed and spread quickly. Wildfires can be human- caused through acts such as arson, campfires, or the improper burning of debris, or can be caused by natural events such as lightning. Wildfires can be categorized into four types:  Wildland fires occur mainly in areas under federal control, such as national forests and parks, and are fueled primarily by natural vegetation. Generally, development in these areas is nonexistent, except for roads, railroads, power lines, and similar features.  Interface or intermix fires occur in areas where both vegetation and structures provide fuel. These are also referred to as Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI) fires.  Firestorms occur during extreme weather high temperatures, low humidity, and high winds) with such intensity that fire suppression is virtually impossible. These events typically burn until the conditions change or the fuel is exhausted.  Prescribed fires and prescribed natural fires are intentionally set or natural fires that are allowed to burn for beneficial purposes. The following three factors contribute significantly to wildfire behavior and can be used to identify wildfire hazard areas.  Topography: As slope increases, the rate of wildfire spread increases. South-facing slopes are also subject to more solar radiation, making them drier and thereby intensifying wildfire behavior. However, ridgetops may mark the end of wildfire spread because fire spreads more slowly or may even be unable to spread downhill.  Fuel: Wildfires spread based on the type and quantity of available flammable material, referred to as the fuel load. The basic characteristics of fuel include size and shape, arrangement and moisture content.  Weather: The most variable factor affecting wildfire behavior is weather. Important weather variables are temperature, humidity, wind, and lightning. Weather events ranging in scale from localized thunderstorms to large fronts can have major effects on wildfire occurrence and behavior. Extreme weather, such as high temperatures and low humidity, can lead to extreme wildfire activity. By contrast, cooling and higher humidity often signals reduced wildfire occurrence and easier containment. Wind has probably the largest impact on a wildfire’s behavior, and is also the most unpredictable. Winds supply the fire with additional oxygen, further dry potential fuel, and push fire across the land at a quicker pace. Also, since the mid 1980s, earlier snowmelt and associated warming due to global climate change has been associated with longer and more severe wildfire seasons in the western United States. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-70 The frequency and severity of wildfires is also dependent upon other hazards, such as lightning, drought, and infestations Pine Bark Beetle). In Nevada, these hazards combine with the three other wildfire contributors noted above (topography, fuel, weather) to present an on-going and significant hazard across much of Nevada. If not controlled, wildfires may grow into an emergency or disaster. Even small fires can threaten lives, resources, and destroy improved properties. It is also important to note that in addition to affecting people, wildfires may severely affect livestock and pets. Such events may require the emergency watering/feeding, shelter, evacuation, and even burying of animals. Wildfires can have serious effects on the local environment, beyond the removal of vegetation. Soil exposed to intense heat may lose its capability to absorb moisture and support life. Exposed soils erode quickly and enhance siltation of rivers and streams, thereby enhancing flood potential, harming aquatic life, and degrading water quality. Lands stripped of vegetation are also subject to increased debris flow hazards, as described above. Wildfires can also greatly affect the air quality of the surrounding area. 5.2.14.2 History The National Interagency Coordination Center (NICC) is the focal point for coordinating the mobilization of resources for wildland fire and other incidents throughout the U.S. The NICC then divides the U.S. into 11 geographic areas; Lyon County is located in the Western Great Basin (WB) geographic area. The WB area is almost entirely made up of the State of Nevada; the geographic boundary for the WB includes the State of Nevada except for the northwest portion of the Sheldon- Hart Wildlife Refuge and Susanville BLM, the Humboldt- Toiyabe National Forest lands in Nevada and California, and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada and Arizona. The WB has a ten year average of 792 fires per year and consumption of 395,941 acres per year. In Lyon County’s recent history, there have been a many significant wildfires. From 1980 through 2003, 2.5 percent of Lyon County burned in wildland fires, which is the equivalent of 32,968 acres. The largest fire recorded in the County was the Gooseberry Mine fire in 1985 that started in Storey County and burned approximately 13,472 acres in Lyon County (33,000 acres burned in total). More recently, in June 2006 a Federal Disaster was declared for the Linehan Fire Complex incident which burned 5,863 acres.

Both the cities of Fernley and Yerington have a fire hazard rating of low per the State NDEM. Based on the historic information presented in this update and the frequency rating that the Planning team assigned through the vulnerability exercise and established using the criteria in Table 5-2 the probability was ranked as 3, moderate. In 2004 the Nevada Community Risk/Hazard Assessment Project Report was published, which researched communities vulnerable to the threat of wildfire (this report is discussed further is the Section “Extent” below). Four fuel hazard classification maps were developed for this report, including the high hazard community of Silver City and three of the moderate hazard communities: Mason Valley, Mound House and Smith Valley. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-73 Figure 5-15 illustrates the location of extreme, high, moderate and low fuel hazard areas for the four designated communities.

However, it is important to recognize that the number of fire ignitions does not directly correlate to the extent of wildfires. Community specific information regarding wildfires can be found in the Nevada Community Wildfire Risk/Hazard Assessment Project reports. In 2003 the Healthy Forest Restoration Act was signed into law. The act creates provisions for expanding the activities outlined in the National Fire Plan. During the 2013 year the Nevada Fire Safe Council received National Fire Plan funding through the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management to conduct a Community Risk/Hazard Assessment in at-risk communities across Nevada. During 2004, field teams comprised of fire behavior specialists, foresters, rangeland fuels specialists, and field technicians visited communities to assess both the risk of ignition and the potential fire behavior hazard. With the use of procedures accepted by Nevada’s wildland fire agencies, these specialists focused their analysis on the wildland urban interface areas where homes and wildlands meet. The reports generated by the Nevada Community Wildfire Risk/Hazard Assessment Project for Lyon County may be viewed here: http://www.rci- nv.com/project/statewide-wildfire-riskhazard-assessment/. The assessment teams observed and recorded the factors that significantly influence the risk of wildfire ignition along the wildland-urban interface, and inventoried features that can influence hazardous conditions in the event of a wildfire. Five primary factors that affect potential fire hazard were assessed to arrive at the community hazard assessment score: 1. Community design 2. Construction materials 3. Defensible space 4. Availability of fire suppression resources 5. Physical conditions such as the vegetative fuel load and topography The general results of the report are illustrated in Table 5-17 below, which includes the ignition risk and the overall hazard rating for each community studied. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-75 Table 5-17.

Wind strength depends on the difference between the high- and low-pressure systems and the distance between them. Therefore, a steep pressure gradient results from a large pressure difference or short distance between places and causes strong winds. Strong and/or severe winds often precede or follow frontal activity, including cold fronts, warm fronts, and drylines. Generally, in the southwestern U.S., frontal winds can remain at 20 to 30 mph (about 17.4 to 26.1 kts) for several hours and reach peak speeds of more than 60 mph (about 52.1 kts). Winds equal to or greater than 57 mph (about 49.5 kts) are referred to as severe winds. In addition to strong and/or severe winds caused by large regional frontal systems, local thermal winds are caused by the differential heating and cooling of the regional topography. In a valley/mountain system, as the rising ground air warms it continues upslope as wind and is replaced by inflow from outside the valley. The intensity of the resulting wind depends on a number of factors, including the shape of the valley, amount of sunlight, and presence of a prevailing wind. 5.2.15.2 History Lyon County has a long history of strong wind events. The first high wind event, recorded by the NCDC, was recorded in 1993, since then 89 high wind events have been reported in Lyon County. The first thunderstorm wind event for Lyon County was reported in 1979, since then 22 thunderstorm wind events have been reported. The following table, Table 5-19, illustrates some of the most extreme high wind and thunderstorm wind events in Lyon County’s history (events of magnitude 70 kts. or greater and/or events that resulted in reported death, injury or damage are included). ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-78 Table 5-19.

Location, Extent Probability of Future Events All of Lyon County is susceptible to strong wind events, including the cities of Fernley and Yerington, Lyon County unincorporated, and the unincorporated communities. Table 5-19 above illustrates 44 high wind events and 12 thunderstorm wind events. This data was taken from the NCDC Storm Event database and the events included in the table include those that had a magnitude of 70 kts. or greater and/or events that resulted in death, injury or property or crop damage. Since the NCDC began collecting data, only one high wind incident event resulted in death (two deaths) and only three incidents results in injuries (five injuries). Additionally, about 7.6 million dollars of property damage and 20 thousand dollars of crop damage has resulted from high wind events. Thunderstorm wind events have not caused any deaths, injuries or crop damage, but have caused 71 thousand dollars of property damage. While Lyon County has a long history of strong wind events, roughly 35 percent are of a magnitude of 70 kts. or greater and/or lead to death, injury, or property or crop damage. Similarly, about 36 percent of thunderstorm wind events have caused property damage or been 70 kts. or greater in magnitude. Based upon past history, it is expected that Lyon County will continue to experience extreme strong wind events. In the last 20 years Lyon County has experienced 31 extreme high wind events and seven extreme thunderstorm wind events. However, years that experience extreme events tend to experience multiple events, while other years’ experience none. Five out of the last 20 years did not experience a single extreme wind event. Therefore, the probability that Lyon County will experience an extreme strong wind event each year is a 75 percent chance (15 years out of 20 years, a 15/20 = 75 percent). ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONFIVE Hazard Analysis Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 5-81 This page left blank intentionally. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONSIX Vulnerability Assessment Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 6-1 A vulnerability analysis predicts the extent of exposure that may result from a hazard event of a given intensity in a given area. The analysis provides quantitative data that may be used to identify and prioritize potential mitigation measures by allowing communities to focus attention on areas with the greatest risk of damage. A vulnerability analysis consists of the following six steps: assets inventory, methodology, data limitations, exposure analysis, repetitive loss properties and summary of impacts. 6.1 ASSET INVENTORY Asset inventory is the first step of a vulnerability analysis. Assets within each community that may be affected by hazard events include population, residential and non-residential buildings, and critical facilities and infrastructure. Assets and insured values throughout the County are identified and discussed in tables that support the asset inventory, exposure analysis and summary of impacts requirements are located in Appendix F – Appendix H. Due to a combination of a lack of adequate information, the lack of a standard methodology for a quantitative vulnerability analysis, and limited GIS capabilities by the County, complete vulnerability results have not been prepared for the following hazards: Dam Failure, Drought, Earthquake, Hail, Landslide, Land Subsidence, Tornado, Volcano, and Windstorm. Thus, a complete vulnerability analysis has been prepared for the following hazards:  Flooding  Hazardous Materials (including transportation incident and fixed incident) Where adequate information about a hazard was not available to develop a complete vulnerability analysis, but existing quantitative studies were accessible, a partial vulnerability analysis was prepared. The partial vulnerability analysis was able to address the vulnerability of the critical facilities and infrastructure, but not the vulnerability of the population and building stock. A partial vulnerability analysis has been provided for the following hazards:  Earthquake  Wildfire  Winter Storm (defined by freezing and snowfall) A partial vulnerability analysis was not prepared for Dam Failure, Drought, Hail, Landslide, Land Subsidence, Tornado or Volcano. 6.1.1 Population and Building Stock Population data for the County and City was obtained from the NV State Demographer estimate of 2014 and shown in Table 6-1. The Nevada State Demographer’s Office maintains annual population estimates by county. Estimated numbers and replacement values for residential and nonresidential buildings, as shown in Table 6-1, were obtained from the County Assessor’s office and were verified by photo and by parcel data. To achieve a value, the net assessed value was not used due to the value being a depreciated value and not reflective of replacement cost, therefore the building count was multiplied by an average replacement value of $141,000, which represents a 1,200 sq. ft. home at $116/sq. ft. building cost. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONSIX Vulnerability Assessment Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 6-2 The residential buildings considered in this analysis include single-family dwellings, mobile homes, multi-family dwellings, temporary lodgings, and nursing homes. Nonresidential buildings were also analyzed including commercial, industrial, agricultural, government, educational, and religious centers. The most recent HAZUS-MH 2017 run did not change the data from the HAZUS-MH 2009 run for earthquake by the Bureau of Mines & Geology, UNR, was reviewed the HAZUS-MH software presents a data limitation by which this software identifies nonresidential buildings by square footage resulting in some nonresidential buildings not being counted. Additionally, the County’s Assessor Office supplied residential and non-residential costs as much higher than the HAZUS-MH software and it was determined by the Committee Chair to use the Assessor’s values as this represents the County’s actual property tax base. The buildings’ values were calculated by adding 20% to the net assessed value of buildings to get the market value. This was done by Erin Singley from Lyon County Assessor’s office. Un-reinforced masonry (URM) building information was obtained from Wayne Carlson of the Nevada Insurance Pool and Advanced Data Systems, Inc. who are compiling a statewide inventory. Due to minimal significant growth in the past 5 years, the data and values from the 2013 plan were used and values updated where applicable. No new critical facility have been constructed in the last 5 years. Although the building count or value may not be precise, whether residential or nonresidential, this analysis will meet the intention of DMA 2000 by providing County and City residents with an accurate visual representation of their community’s risk by hazard.

They are identified in Table 6-2. Similar to critical facilities, critical infrastructure is defined as infrastructure that is essential to preserve the quality of life and safety in the County. Existing County and City roads were not critical to evacuation or response. Critical infrastructure are located in Appendix F – Appendix H 6.2 METHODOLOGY A conservative exposure-level analysis was conducted to assess the risks associated with the identified hazards. This analysis is a simplified assessment of the potential effects of the hazards on values at risk without consideration of the probability or level of damage. Population was derived from 2010 Census information, then a combination of spatial overlay and proportional analysis was used to determine the number of people located where hazards are likely to occur. Using Census block level residential building information a combination of spatial overlay and proportional analysis was used to determine the number of residential buildings located where hazards are likely to occur. Using data provided by Lyon and Douglas Counties and the Cities of Fernley and Yerington, and the geocoded locations of physical assets were compared to locations where hazards are likely to occur. If any portion of an asset fell within a hazard area, it was counted as impacted. Estimated replacement values were provided by each local jurisdiction, if available. The partial vulnerability analysis was completed by applying the hazard areas identified in Sections 5 to the list of critical facilities and infrastructure. For each physical asset located within a hazard area, exposure was calculated by assuming the worst-case scenario (that is, the asset would be completely destroyed and would have to be replaced). The aggregate exposure, in terms of replacement value or insurance coverage, for each category of structure or facility was calculated. A similar analysis was used to evaluate the proportion of the population at risk. However, the analysis simply represents the number of people at risk; no estimate of the number of potential injuries or deaths was prepared. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONSIX Vulnerability Assessment Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 6-5 6.3 DATA LIMITATIONS & FUTURE DEVELOPMENT The vulnerability estimates provided herein use the best data currently available, and the methodologies applied result in an approximation of risk. These estimates may be used to understand relative risk from hazards and potential losses. However, uncertainties are inherent in any loss estimation methodology, arising in part from incomplete scientific knowledge concerning hazards and their effects on the built environment as well as the use of approximations and simplifications that are necessary for a comprehensive analysis. It is also important to note that the quantitative vulnerability assessment results are limited to the exposure of people, buildings, and assets to the identified hazards. It was beyond the scope of the 2013 HMP update to develop a more detailed or comprehensive assessment of risk (including annualized losses, people injured or killed, shelter requirements, loss of facility/system function, and economic losses). Such impacts may be addressed with future updates of the HMP. 6.3.1 Changes in Development Due to the recent economic upturn, generally development in the County for the last five years has been minimal, until this past year. Lyon County has seen an increase in the construction of industrial parks, such as the TRIC in the City of Fernley and the recent increase of the mining industry in the Yerington and Smith Valley areas. In addition there has been a revitalization of past housing developments that were not developed during the 2010 – 2016 downturn in the economy. Since the last update, these new developments are starting back up with an estimated 2,900 number for residential lots on the planning database. 6.3.2 Future Development As discussed at the end of Section 3 – Community Description, there is a significant amount of land in the County that has the potential to be developed for residential and commercial growth. Several planned unit developments are in the planning stages in and throughout the County where there are existing sewage treatment and water treatment facilities both of which may be expanded in the future. With over 2,900 residential lots in the planning stages, development will proceed slowly and carefully to mitigate impacts to existing residents. Population growth for the overall state is up along with a mid-unemployment rate for the state, which affect all counties. The population increase and economic issues for the State of Nevada are having enormous impacts on residential and non-residential growth. According to the Nevada State Demographer’s Office, current population forecasts anticipate a 1.2% annual growth rate through 2020. Therefore, the numbers and values of the figures in the Table 6-2 below are viewed as accurate. During the plan maintenance activities this should be reviewed and during the next plan update proposed growth can be revisited. has no expectation of expanding or replacing any facilities, at least within the 5 year timeframe. Sometime, hopefully soon after 5 years, they will be looking at a new “Station 31”, moving out of their rented office space and into an Admin/Training/Station. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONSIX Vulnerability Assessment Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 6-6 6.4 EXPOSURE ANALYSIS The recommendations for identifying structures and estimating potential losses, as stipulated in DMA 2000 and its implementing regulations, are described below.

residential buildings, and critical facilities and infrastructure for each identified hazard for Lyon County is provided below. Summaries for each specific jurisdiction, Lyon County unincorporated and the incorporated cities are provided in the accompanying jurisdiction-specific appendices (Appendices F through Overall, based on this 2018 vulnerability analysis, a summary of impacts includes the following:  Earthquake shaking is likely throughout the entire County. The far northeastern portions of the County, mainly those along the Churchill County border, will experience shaking within the “strong” range, but the rest of the County falls within the “severe” shaking range. Therefore 100% of the population is susceptible to earthquake shaking, specifically 100% of the Fernley and Yerington City residents are susceptible to “severe” shaking.  Flooding occurs throughout Lyon County and is primarily concentrated along the Carson River, the community of Dayton, and northeast of Yerington. About 23 percent of the total County population and roughly 14 percent of the County’s residential parcels are vulnerable to flooding. For the City of Fernley, roughly 1.3 percent of the population and 1.6 percent of residential parcels are vulnerable to flooding. For the City of Yerington all residents are vulnerable to flooding as well as roughly 66 percent of residential parcels.  The threat of a hazardous materials incident is found throughout Lyon County, but is focused in the City and community centers. Roughly 56 percent of the County’s population is vulnerable to a hazardous materials incident and 15 percent of the County’s residential parcels.  The majority of Lyon County is considered to have a moderate fire hazard rating. While a few communities have a fire hazard rating of low, only one community in Lyon County has a high fire hazard rating, the community of Silver City. Both the cities of Fernley and Yerington have a fire hazard rating of low.  Winter Storm affects the entire County and was mainly characterized by snowfall and freezing. The northeastern portion of the County experiences the fewest number of freeze days per year, however, the entire County experiences a “high” level of freezing, more than 185 freeze days per year. In general the northeastern half of the County, including the Cities of Fernley and Yerington, receive a “medium” level of snow each year and the southwestern half of the County receives a “high” level of snow each year. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONSIX Vulnerability Assessment Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 6-13 This page left intentionally blank ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONSEVEN Capability Assessment Lyon County Amended April 18, 2019 7-1 While not required by the DMA 2000, an important component of a hazard mitigation plan is a review of the County’s and the Cities resources to identify, evaluate, and enhance the capacity of those resources to mitigate the effects of hazards. This section evaluates the County’s and the Cities resources in three areas—legal and regulatory, administrative and technical, and financial—and assesses these capabilities to implement current and future hazard mitigation actions. 7.1 Legal and Regulatory Capabilities The County, Cities and currently support hazard mitigation through their regulations, plans, and public outreach programs. The County’s Building Code outlines hazard mitigation- related ordinances. Additionally, the County Master Plan identifies goals, objectives, and actions for natural hazards, including floods, drought, and earthquakes. In addition to policies and regulations, the County carries out hazard mitigation activities by participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) see section 7.4.1. The following table, Table 7-1, summarizes the County’s and Cities’ hazard mitigation legal and regulatory capabilities. Table 7-1.

Legal and Regulatory Resources Available for Hazard Mitigation Regulatory Tool Title Effect on Hazard Mitigation Fire Prevention Fire Prevention includes plan reviews of new construction and tenant improvements, business and occupancy inspections and fire code compliance reviews. While not as exciting as kicking in the door and spraying water firefighting, it provides a level of reassurance. When parents living in our communities send their children off to school they can be assured their facility is constructed to the exact requirements of the International Fire Code, the teachers have been drilled on emergency evacuation, the fire alarms work, the sprinkler system works, the fire hydrants function and fire apparatus and personnel can get there quickly. Defensible Space A properly designed defensible space can provide our firefighters with a safe place from which to defend your home from an approaching wildland fire. At the same time, homes with adequate defensible space are more likely to survive a wildland fire, even without firefighter assistance. Remove dead or flammable vegetation. Reduce vegetation by pruning or mowing. Providing space between plants and trees removes the continuous fuel bed that might otherwise exist throughout your yard. Fuels Management The goal of this program is to assist homeowners in clearing yards and neighborhoods of debris to significantly reduce any threats to homes in high fire hazard areas. This program offers as a community service to assist our residents in making their homes safer from the threat of wildfire and creating defensible space.

DMA 2000 Requirements: Mitigation Strategy – Local Hazard Mitigation Goals Local Hazard Mitigation Goals Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(i): [The hazard mitigation strategy shall include a] description of mitigation goals to reduce or avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards. Element  Does the new or updated plan include a description of mitigation goals to reduce or avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards? Source: FEMA, March 2008. Mitigation goals are defined as general guidelines that explain what a community wants to achieve in terms of hazard and loss prevention. Goal statements are typically long-range, policy oriented statements representing community-wide visions. The Planning Team developed 9 goals to reduce or avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards (Table 8-1).

Prioritization shall include a special emphasis on the extent to which benefits are maximized according to a cost benefit review of the proposed projects and their associated costs. Element  Does the mitigation strategy include how the actions are prioritized? (For example, is there a discussion of the process and criteria used?)  Does the mitigation strategy address how the actions will be implemented and administered? (For example, does it identify the responsible department, existing and potential resources, and timeframe?)  Does the prioritization process include an emphasis on the use of a cost-benefit review (see page 3-36 of Multi- Hazard Mitigation Planning Guidance) to maximize benefits? Source: FEMA, March 2008 The mitigation actions were finalized during the Planning Committee meeting in July of 2018. The Planning Committee prioritized each of the actions and evaluated actions as being completed, continuing/ongoing since the 2013 update, or new actions to this 2018 update. 15 new actions were added to this update as a result of this evaluation. Specifically, Goal 3, two actions were added since the 2013 Since the last update the County has developed the Sheep Camp Dam Emergency Plan and this was adopted by the Board of Commissioners in April 2018. Therefore action item 3.B was added since the 2013 plan document. Also added was Action 3.C. for Lyon County, and both Cities to annually monitor dams and canals. This new action was added because of the 2008 levee breach in the City of Fernley. Action 4.F. was added to the Drought hazard, to annually review the drought mitigation plan with all purveyors and the county and cities. 5. F. was added to the Earthquake Action to coordinate with the state, in regards to evaluating URM structures and the structural integrity of these existing structures in the county and cities. Actions 7.J. and 7.K. were added to the Flood Hazard to continue the ongoing debris sediment activities, that was not a part of the 2013 and to adhere to the “Living River Concept” as identified in the Carson River Regional Watershed Floodplain Management Plan – 2018 and Adopted by the Lyon County Board of County Commissioners. Something that the Fire Districts do throughout the County and Cities is public outreach and awareness for the month of May being Wildfire awareness month. Since the Fire Districts currently do this activity it was added to this update, since it was not included in the last 2013 plan document. During this 2018 plan update two hazards were added to this document. They are Epidemic and Terrorism/WMD. With these two new hazards, mitigation actions for each were added to the plan. 15. 15. B and 15.C were added for Epidemic to improve communication, collaboration and integration among stakeholders and promote awareness of epidemic threats in the county and cities. Develop public outreach regarding current community plan for medicine and plans for vaccines, utilizing the Quad-County Public Health Preparedness information. Also to develop a plan for mass morgue and casualties after a major hazard event. Coordination with Sheriff and Tri-County and local hospitals. For the Terrorism / WMD hazard, five new mitigation actions were added, 16.A. 16.B., 16.C., 16.D., and16.E. The Sheriff’s office currently plans and trains staff, it was decided to add the action to continue planning and training staff; to continue to communicate regionally with other/all agencies; To ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONEIGHT Mitigation Strategy Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 8-11 plan to address mitigation if other communities experience an event and citizens are traveling to and through Lyon County and the coordination with NDOT and hospitals in the area; Continue SRO with Lyon County School District and continue with NTAC Agreement. Although no specific actions have been completed since the 2013 the County and Cities continue to coordinate and conduct public outreach to provide information, at local community events throughout the year, such as the Oodles of Noodles event in Dayton during June, at Dayton Valley Days during September, at the Lyon County Fly In at the Silver Springs Airport in October, the Smith Valley family fun days at the end of September and beginning of October. Also during the Nevada Flood Awareness Week during the month of November, public outreach is conducted in the City of Yerington and local schools in coordination with CWSD and the River Wranglers group to provide information on flood events. Central Lyon Fire, North Lyon Fire and Smith Valley Fire Protection Districts also coordinate public outreach events regarding wildfire, defensible space and what to do in case of an emergency. In addition to completing the task of evaluating current and new mitigation actions, the Planning Committee completed the STAPLE+E evaluation criteria using rankings of one for lowest and five for highest priority, acceptance, feasibility etc. The rankings for each action were totaled and the actions with the highest number of points were evaluated by the committee. See Table 8-3 for the evaluation criteria. Table 8-3: STAPLE+E Evaluation Criteria for Mitigation Actions Evaluation Category Discussion “It is important to consider….” Consideration Social The public Support for the overall mitigation strategy and specific mitigation actions Community acceptance; adversely affects population Technical If the mitigation action is technically feasible and if it is the whole or partial solution Technical feasibility, Long-term solutions; Secondary impacts Administrative If the community has the personnel and administrative capabilities necessary to implement the action or whether outside help will be necessary Staffing: Finding allocation; Maintenance/operations Political What the community and its members feel about issues related to the environment, economic development, safety, and emergency management.

Upon review by the Committee, mitigation actions were selected for the County and Cities that best fulfill the goals of the and were appropriate and feasible to implement during the 5- year lifespan of this version of the In reviewing the actions the Committee considered the following: • Actions that strengthen, elevate, relocate, or otherwise improve buildings, infrastructure, or other facilities to enhance their ability to withstand the damaging impacts of future disasters • Actions in which the benefits (which are the reduction in expected future damages and losses) are greater than the costs considered as necessary to implement the specific action • Actions that either address multi-hazard scenarios or address a hazard that present the greatest risk to the jurisdiction.. Further in our assessment utilizing the STAPLE+E, the actions and their evaluation outcomes are shown in Table 8-4. A combined result of the STAPLE+E outcome, from those who attended meeting five and participated in the table-top exercise, is provided in Appendix D, page D-76. 8.4 IMPLEMENTING A MITIGATION ACTION PLAN A Mitigation Action Plan Matrix was prepared for the County and the Cities detailing the priority of the mitigation actions, how the overall benefit-cost were taken into consideration, and how each mitigation action will be implemented and administered. The County and Cities of Fernley and Yerington priority ratings were the same for each action and therefore the table is labeled Table 8-4.

As shown in Appendix F, Plan Maintenance Documents, the Annual Review Questionnaire will include an evaluation of the following: planning process, hazard analysis, vulnerability analysis, capability assessment, and mitigation strategy.  Lyon County OEM will collect all completed questionnaires and determine if the needs to be updated to address new or more threatening hazards, new technical reports or findings, and new or better-defined mitigation projects. Lyon County OEM will summarize these findings and email them out to the Committee. If Lyon County OEM believes that the needs to be updated based on the findings, then a request will be made to the committee members to attend a formal update meeting. ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONNINE Plan Maintenance Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 9-2 Additionally, mitigation actions will be monitored and updated through the use of the Mitigation Project Progress Report. During each annual review, each department or agency currently administering a mitigation project will submit a progress report to Lyon County OEM to review and evaluate. For projects that are being funded by a FEMA mitigation grant, FEMA quarterly reports may be used as the preferred reporting tool. As shown in Appendix F, Plan Maintenance Documents, the progress report will discuss the current status of the mitigation project, including any changes made to the project, identify implementation problems, and describe appropriate strategies to overcome them. After considering the findings of the submitted progress reports, Lyon County OEM may request that the implementing department or agency meet to discuss project conditions. In addition to the Annual Review Questionnaire, Mitigation Project Progress Report or FEMA quarterly report, and any annual meetings, the committee will meet to update the every 5 years. To ensure that this update occurs, within the first six months of the fourth year following plan adoption, the committee will undertake the following activities:  Research funding available to assist in update (and apply for funds that may take up to one year to obtain)  Thoroughly analyze and update the risk of natural and human-made hazards in Lyon County  Complete a new Annual Review Questionnaire and review previous questionnaires  Provide a detailed review and revision of the mitigation strategy  Prepare a new implementation strategy  Prepare a new draft and submit it to the local governing bodies for adoption  Submit an updated to Nevada DEM and FEMA for approval ---PAGE BREAK--- SECTIONNINE Plan Maintenance Lyon County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Amended April 18, 2019 9-3 9.2 IMPLEMENTATION THROUGH EXISTING PLANNING MECHANISMS The requirements for implementation through existing planning mechanisms, as stipulated in the DMA 2000 and its implementing regulations, are described below.
