Learning ObjectivesPrimary:• Seek consensus to shift the national mindset and dialogue from disaster recovery
to planning for future resiliency, and share best practices.• Build an awareness and understanding of strategies for collaborative
public/private funding to support long term infrastructure resiliency over short-term infrastructure recovery (e.g. P3s),
Secondary:• Understand how to develop and apply an Action Plan Framework for more
resilient outcomes for civil, public works, transportation, and energy infrastructure in disaster recovery,
• Provide considerations for SAME’s Resiliency Committee to explore to advance critical concepts at the local and national level.
2019 SAME Southeast Tri-Regional Joint Engineer Training Symposium (JETS)
Bottom Line …• While there are many positive Resiliency initiatives nationwide, Resiliency remains
reactive in nature, somewhat disjointed, underfunded, and largely performed as an output of federally funded, Disaster Management operations.
• There are tools and key lessons learned available for communities, installations, and agencies to better plan for, lead, and manage critical infrastructure recovery in manners that improve Resiliency.
• We can do Resiliency better…

FEMA vs. CDBG-DR Processes – Critical Differences
• Requires NEPA Compliance prior to Construction
• Requires Davis Bacon Compliance • Requires Section 3 Compliance• Impacts Other Funding Sources – Matching
Funds are required to meet CDBG rules
• Typically performs NEPA Environmental Review for Applicant
• Does NOT require Davis Bacon Compliance
• Requires Competitive Procurement per local requirements

Why Plan Ahead?• Projects in Hazard Mitigation Plan
– Better chance of 404 funding – Demonstrates Commitment to Hazard
Mitigation• Know your hazard mitigation/
infrastructure rebuilding needs– Faster and better rebuilding decisions
• Restore a severely damaged lift station?
• Pursue temporary operation and replacement?
– Better use of available funds– Can strategically position for
CDBG-DR and Other Funds

Resilience is a multi-time dimensional concept, the nexus where preparation meets performance - this is difficult to measure and assess with existing project metrics
Utilize attributes to assess projects and make smarter investments towards more resilient installations

• USACE applies resilience thinking through four principles that spring from our definition of resilience. The PARA principles frame & guide actions that build resilience throughout the considered lifecycle.
• USACE Engineer Construction Bulletin (ECB) 2018-2, issued in January 2018, requires application of the PARA principles in practices and development of standards and criteria.

Other Considerations• Resiliency Roadmap• Simulation models
2019 SAME Southeast Tri-Regional Joint Engineer Training Symposium (JETS)
Post-Disaster Funding• CDBG Funds
– Available if Congress authorizes funding– Spending constraints defined in
authorization– Opportunities to influence spending
constraints– Often requires unmet needs study after
event• Examples
– Any Items Input Into State Action Plan– Housing Buyout– New and Hardened Infrastructure– Ports, Etc.
2019 SAME Southeast Tri-Regional Joint Engineer Training Symposium (JETS)
Post-Disaster Funding• FEMA 404 Hazard Mitigation
– 15% of Overall Damages to the State for an Event– Competitive Process– Typically available months after initial damage– Items not directly damaged by event.– Needs to be covered by Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Examples– Relocation of critical infrastructure/buildings– Drainage system upgrades– Portable Pumping Equipment
2019 SAME Southeast Tri-Regional Joint Engineer Training Symposium (JETS)
Post-Disaster Funding• Other Funds
– FHWA – federal aid roads – County road impacted by hurricane
– USACE – levees, drainage, flood control – Minot, ND Flood Control Canal
– Often defined in disaster funding authorization
2019 SAME Southeast Tri-Regional Joint Engineer Training Symposium (JETS)
Pulling it All Together – FEMA’s 428 Program• Method to combine repair projects (i.e.,
only restore 2 schools when 4 were damaged)
• Capped cost estimate including hazard mitigation
• Allows other funding sources (i.e., CDBG, 404, etc.)
• Unspent funds can be utilized towards additional hazard mitigation

NAVFAC Energy Security Programs: What We Do
• Small modular distributed energy resources provide energy in remote locations
• Individual microgrids fortify our Installations from energy threats
• On-site generators ensure critical requirements are met even during outages
Execute Resilient Energy Projects
• Third-party financing with utilities and industry partners help reduce costs and increase energy resiliency
• Alternative contracting mechanisms (e.g. intergovernmental agreements and public/private partnerships) provide infrastructure upgrades and consolidation of resources
Leverage Innovative Financing Mechanisms
• Smart Grid provides a cyber-secure platform to analyze meter, building and utility data for optimized energy management
• The Energy Mission Integration Group (EMIG) prioritizes and plans energy projects based on analysis of Installation energy security gaps and data
Improve Use of Technology and Data
Utilize alternative funding strategies to preserve appropriated funds for priority
warfighting activities
Close critical energy security gaps on installations to improve mission readiness and
warfighter lethality
Navy Mission Impact
2019 SAME Southeast Tri-Regional Joint Engineer Training Symposium (JETS)
Pre-Disaster Funding• Hazard Mitigation Planning Grants
– Typically through the County– Updated Periodically– Can Include hazard mitigation needs
for multiple entities – get your needs known
• Severe Repetitive Loss Programs –Primarily Homes in Flood Prone Areas
• Preparedness Grants
2019 SAME Southeast Tri-Regional Joint Engineer Training Symposium (JETS)
Post-Disaster Funding• FEMA Public Assistance Grants
– Directly related to repair of damaged infrastructure
– Can Apply Funding in Difference Manners• Repair in Kind• Pursue an Alternant Project• Pursue an Improved Project• Pursue FEMA’s 428 Pilot Program
– Why Different Approaches• Combine Facilities?• Decommission Facilities?• Implement Something New?
2019 SAME Southeast Tri-Regional Joint Engineer Training Symposium (JETS)
Post-Disaster Funding• FEMA 406 Hazard Mitigation
– Directly related to mitigating damage to repair of damaged infrastructure
– Additional 15% for non-critical infrastructure– Additional 100% or more for critical
infrastructure• Examples
– Raise damaged control panels– Convert to submersible pumps (dry pit or wet
pit)– Change submerged pipe construction
