Each hazard is discussed in this planning document. Of all <br />of the hazards identified, the most common hazard events to affect the area were determined to <br />be flooding events. To clarify the extent of flooding problems within the community, the plan <br />identifies the number and types of buildings in the floodplain, the number of flood insurance <br />policies within the community, and the number of flood losses within the communities. The <br />procedures for warning and evacuation during events are included in the plan. Critical facilities <br />located within the community and their proximity to the floodplains or other hazards are also <br />discussed. <br /> <br />Hays County, Texas <br />Mitigation Plan <br />11 <br />
