Integrating Drought Risk Management into Local Planning Framework Zhenghong Tang Community and Regional Planning Program University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Recent droughts in the USA Drought is one of the most costly disasters. 2007: Southeast drought : Texas drought 2012: Midwest drought : California drought

What is drought? Normal part of the climate Slow-onset, ‘creeping phenomenon’ Lack of universal definition Nonstructural, long-lasting, wide-ranging impacts

Why plan for drought? Increasing frequency and severity of droughts Continuing and changing vulnerability Tremendous economic losses Significant social stress Environmental degradation

Stand-alone plan vs. Integrated plan

Comprehensive Plan Land Use Transportation Environmental Management Public Safety Zoning Ordinance Subdivision Regulations Capital Improvement Program and Infrastructure Policies

Scope of this study Research question: 1.Are local planners aware of their vulnerability to water shortage and droughts? 2.To what extent are drought planning integrated into local comprehensive plans? 3.Are any of the nine jurisdictional variables directly correlating with the plan quality in drought preparedness?

Research Method Content analysis (plan coding protocol) Sample (100 fastest growing counties) Evaluation criteria and procedure Calculation method

Research Sample The 100 fastest growing counties in the U.S. defined by the housing units changes ( , U.S. Census Bureau) Represent a good cross-section of the U.S. counties High potential in sprawl and thus vulnerability to droughts Face with tremendous population growth

Measuring if Jurisdictional Factors Affect Local Planning Capacity in Drought Preparedness

Results Components a Number of indicators Minimum Maximum Mean Std. Dev. 1.Awareness Analysis Actions Total b Local Performance (a: component score range: 0-10; b: total score range: 0-30)

1.Are local planners aware of their vulnerability to water shortage and droughts? Generally, these plan sampled are weak in drought planning with a mean total score of 9.4 out of total possible score of 30 (31.3%).

2. To what extent are drought planning integrated into local comprehensive plans? They were strongest in actions (37%), weaker in awareness (35%), and weakest in analysis (22%).

3. Are any of the jurisdictional variables directly correlating with the plan quality in drought preparedness ? These counties’ plan quality in drought preparedness planning variedly widely and none of the selected jurisdictional characteristics were found significantly correlated with their planning capacity for drought resilience.

Policy implications Local jurisdictions paid attentions to water resources, but they are not ready for water scarcity/shortage/drought disasters. Adaptive water conservation strategies/policies should be incorporated into local planning framework. The integrated model is an efficient approach to lead local jurisdictions towards “drought-ready-communities”. Local capacity in enhancing local drought resilience depends on both the crisis management and risk management.
