Memorandum ofAgreement Sets up coordination of activities between EPA's sustainable communities,smart growth, environmental, and community technical assistanceprograms and FEMA's disaster recovery planning and hazard mitigationprograms. Seeks to provide lessons learned for EPA, FEMA, and other federal agenciesthat can be used to build a stronger federal framework for mitigationplanning as well as pre- and post-disaster recovery planning andoperations. Seeks to provide a collaborative framework for policy work related to bothhazard mitigation planning and climate change adaptation to create moreresilient communities.

Green Infrastructure at EPA 3 scales: Watershed, Neighborhood, Site Water quality many other communitybenefits Climate resilience benefits Manage floodingPrepare for droughtReduce urban heat islandLower building energy demandsSpend less energy managing waterProtect coastal areas

Green Infrastructure &Hazard Mitigation EPA has funded projects integrating FEMAHazard Mitigation Plans and water quality plansto reduce natural hazards, such as floods,landslides, and drought, while emphasizingwater quality benefits, including in: Ashland, OR Albany, NY State of Massachusetts Huntington, WV Mystic River Watershed, MA Maricopa County, AZMap showing infiltration site suitability in Millford, MA.

THIS IS DUE TO FLOOD MITIGATION EFFORTS BYPIERCE COUNTY THAT HAS REDUCED THE FLOODTHREAT AT UNUSUALLY VULNERABLE LOCATIONS NEARORTING.HIGH RIVER FLOWS THIS YEAR HAVE CONFIRMED THESUCCESS OF THESE EFFORTS. THEREFORE THE THREAT OFFLOODING NO LONGER OCCURS AT THE LOWTHRESHOLD OF 4500 CFS BUT AT THE MUCH HIGHERLEVEL OF 10000 CFS AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

Removal of the in-place resilient floor should be considered the final alternative. It is preferred you leave the existing resilient floor covering in place and go over the top (single flooring layer only) with the new floor. Alternatives to the removal of an existing resilient floor over approved subfloors are: 1.
