Acts of nature are not inherently
catastrophic. Hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, floods, and the like are
simply natural occurrences. They only become disasters when they conflict
with people and property. The more development in a hazard area, the
more disastrous the consequences.
Unfortunately, few parts
of the U.S. are hazard free. The Federal Emergency Management Agency
estimates that as much as 75 percent of the nation’s housing stock
is susceptible to natural hazards. An estimated 10 million homes are
at risk from flooding…25 million from wind hazards, and 2 million
from coastal storm surges. About 50 million homes are in counties with
significant earthquake risk.

About this tool
Equity Impact Statements
provide a framework for a public or private decision maker, interested
in advancing equity as a part of the policymaking process, to incorporate
issues defining and enhancing equity into the decision making phase
of the policymaking process. It is not a legal document hut a concept
paper that will provide ideas for findings and procedures that in many
instances can be incorporated into existing frameworks for the consideration
proposed policy (i.e. ordinances and oilier rule making). It will be
necessary to refine, adapt, and expand the example findings below to
reflect local issues and conditions. The Courts are requiring ever-increasing
evidence that local policymaking, to address bias, be firmly rooted
in local conditions and not be simply based on bias in society "at
large".
What follows is a set of
questions and actions for a public or private entity to integrate into
its policymaking and decision making processes. This is not a set of
indicators against which to evaluate equity. To often public and private
entities develop indicators and measure them, only to produce reports
that have little impact on local policymaking itself. Indicators and
the evaluative process that use them are important. However, this tool
is designed to be adapted and integrated into the decision making process
itself.

Privatization
Strategy.pdf
INTRODUCTION
This document is intended
to guide and foster a useful discussion of the emerging trend in the
privatization of municipal services. Although in its nascent stages,
the interest in developing effective, feasible, and value-creating privatization
strategies for municipal facilities is growing.
This discussion is based
on a single governing premise: Municipalities can design and execute
privatization strategies that can create significant value to the municipality
and the private entity .
They can do this by:
- From the beginning, considering
the full range of privatization options and their potential implications
for mutual value.
- Being clear about the
likely benefits and barriers to implementation of any privatization
strategy.
- Taking a structured six-step
approach to identifying and evaluating a well-defined set of privatizing
scenarios.

What RUSLE Does?
- Applies to hillslopes
where overland flow occurs
- Computes average annual
soil loss caused by sheet and rill erosion
- Computes sediment yield
from hillslope profiles
- Computes deposition on
hillslope
- Computes particle distribution
