The Holiday Cove Mitigation Plan - 906 Words

This Holiday Cove mitigation plan has been developed in concert with State and Federal organizations to ensure the safety and protection of personal property of its citizens. Funding for programs and specific mitigation methods will be shared among tax programs as well as outsourced grants and loans such as the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) (FEMA, 2016). Holiday Cove’s mitigation plan will include monitoring of appropriate land use restrictions, responsible building codes, hardening of life line resources, as well as protecting against tourism loss revenue through beach erosion prevention techniques. This plan has an emphasis on hurricane and flooding damage as history has indicated this is the highest natural hazard our location must plan for. Location Description Holiday Cove is a medium sized coastal community with a large metropolitan area. A majority of the citizens live within 5 miles of the beach in single family homes and commute inland for work. The main industry is tourism; a typical population increase of 10,000 visitors occurs during the summer months. Primary housing for tourism is high rise hotels/condo. The location of Holiday Cove limits available evacuation routes from the beach area. U. S. Highway 1 is a North – South route that evacuates to Interstate 95N. Lifeline resources include a Level 4 trauma center; electricity/water/ and sewage are all supported by the city operated publically owned utility company Holiday Cove ElectricalShow MoreRelatedFormulation of the Philippine National Tourism Development Plan 2011-201615214 Words   |  61 PagesPrioritizing Tourism Interventions in the SCDs - 6 - 3.2.1 Northern Philippines - 7 - 3.2.2 Central Philippines - 7 - 3.2.3 Southern Philippines - 8 - 3.2.4 Implications For Setting Development Priorities - 8 - Introduction Although previous tourism plans had tried to focus destination development and marketing on a few selected priority tourism destinations, these have generally been unsuccessful and slow to develop, while leaving many stakeholders largely excluded.
