INTRODUCTION
The 2016 North Platte Natural Resources District (NP NRD) Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
(HMP) is an update to the plan that was adopted by the North Platte NRD and the McGrew of McGrew in
March 2011. This HMP includes two primary sections: the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan and the
Community (i.e. NRD, County, Municipal, and School District) Profiles. Participant Sections include
similar information that’s also provided in the Regional section, but rather is specific information for the
McGrew of McGrew, including the following elements:
 Participation
 Location /Geography
 Climate
 Demographics
 Transportation
 Future Development Trends
 Parcel Improvements and Valuations
 Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources
 Historical Hazard Events
 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
 Governance
 Capability Assessment
 Plan Integration
 Mitigation Actions
PARTICIPATION
Local Planning Team
Table XX.1 provides the list of participating community members that comprised the Scotts Bluff local
planning team. Members of the planning team attended Round 1 and Round 2 meetings and provided
important information including but not limited to: confirming demographic information, critical facilities,
structural inventory, future development trends, hazard history and impacts, identifying hazards of greatest
concern for the community, and prioritization of mitigation actions that address the hazards at risk to the
community.

LOCATION AND GEOGRAPHY
Scotts Bluff County is located in northwest Nebraska and is bordered by Sioux, Morrill, and Banner
Counties. The total area of Scotts Bluff County is 746 square miles. Major waterways within the county
include the North Platte River which runs through the center of the county, and four lakes which are in the
north east quarter of the county. The county is not heavily forested, nor is it located in a geographic area of
the state prone to landslides. Most of Scotts Bluff County lies in the plains topographic region, with the
vast majority of the county’s land characterized by agricultural fields and grassland.
Figure XX.1: Scotts Bluff County Map
For Scotts Bluff County, the normal high temperature for the month of July is 88.7 degrees and the normal
low temperature for the month of January is 12.6 degrees. On average, Scotts Bluff County gets 16.4 inches
of rain and 38.2 inches of snowfall per year. The following table compares these climate indicators with
those of the entire state. Climate data are helpful in determining if certain events are higher or lower than
normal. For example, if the high temperatures in the month of July are running well into the 90s, then this
indicates extreme heat events, which could impact vulnerable populations such as the very young and the
elderly if cooling areas are not provided.

three major highways in the county: US HWY 26, NE HWY 71, and NE HWY 92. According the
Nebraska Department of Roads the average daily traffic count for US HWY 26 is 3,790 vehicles per day,
335 of which are heavy commercial vehicles. NE HWY 71 has an average traffic count of 1,150 vehicles
per day, 150 of which are heavy commercial vehicles. NE HWY 92 has an average traffic county of 2,675
vehicles per day, 300 of which are heavy commercial vehicles.
DEMOGRAPHICS
The following figure displays the historical population trend from 1930 to 2010. This figure indicates that
the population of Scotts Bluff County has been decreasing since 1980. While the population has been
decreasing, it has been decreasing at a relatively slow rate. Population decreases of this rate, less than 5%
over 40 years, is unlikely to have significant implications as it relates to vulnerability.

The following table indicates the State of Nebraska has a lower percentage of people under the age of 5.
Very young and elderly populations are at higher risk certain natural hazards. Because Scotts Bluff County
has a lower populations of very young and elderly, age of the population is not a significant concern. For a
more elaborate discussion of this vulnerability, please see Section Four: Risk Assessment.

The following table indicates that median household income is over $8,000 lower than the state’s median.
Living expenses are likely far lower in Scotts Bluff, relative to the rest of the county, based on far lower
home values and rent payments. Economic factors are likely not a significant concern when considering
vulnerability. Residents of the county have the same financial capability to address hazard events as the rest
of the state.
These economic indicators are relevant to hazard mitigation because they indicate the relative economic
strength compared to the state as a whole. Areas with economic indicators which are relatively low may
influence a county’s level of resiliency during hazardous events.

The following figure indicates that the majority of the housing in Scotts Bluff County was built prior to
1960. According to 2009-2013 ACS 5-year estimates, the county has 14,690 housing units with 89.8 percent
of those units occupied. There are approximately 950 mobile homes in the county and 45.4 percent of the
county’s housing was built before 1960. Housing age can serve as an indicator of risk as structures built
prior to state building codes being developed may be at greater risk. Finally, residents that live in mobile
homes may be more vulnerable to the impacts of high winds, tornados, and severe winter storms.

Major Employers
According to 2012 Census Data, Scotts Bluff County had 1,102 business establishments. The following
table presents the number establishments, number of paid employees, and the annual pay role in thousands
of dollars. This information is relevant to hazard mitigation insofar as it indicates the diversification of
industry. Communities which have a diverse economic makeup may be more resilient following a
hazardous event, especially if certain industries are more impacted than others.

Critical Facilities
Each participating jurisdiction identified critical facilities vital for disaster response, providing shelter to
the public, and essential for returning the jurisdiction’s functions to normal during and after a disaster.
Critical facilities were identified during the original planning process and updated by the local planning
11
team as a part of this plan update. The following table and figure provide a summary of the critical facilities
for the jurisdiction. Critical facilities for Scotts Bluff County are located primarily in the county’s
incorporated communities.

HISTORICAL OCCURRENCES
The events recorded by NCDC are broken down by two types: county-based and zone-based events. The
county-based records are events that affect the jurisdictions within the county while the zone-based records
are those affecting the zone that include the county as part of the affected zone. Please refer to specific
villages or cities within the county for the previous county-based severe weather events retrieved from
NCDC. For zone-based events, there are 99 recorded events from 1996 to 2014, but due to the large number
of records, only those that resulted in property or crop damages or fatalities or injuries are demonstrated in
the following table.
The property and crop damage from the NCDC Storm Events Database should be considered as broad
estimates only. The National Weather Service makes a best guess on these amounts at the time of the
publication from a variety of sources. Sources include but are not limited to emergency management, local
law enforcement, skywarn spotters, NWS damage surveys, newspaper clipping services, insurance industry,
and the general public.

For more information regarding these area wide hazards, please see Section Four: Risk Assessment. The
following provides county specific information, reported in Scotts Bluff County Risk Assessment
Summary, which is relevant to each hazard.
When presented with a list of hazards for the Nebraska State Hazard Mitigation Plan, the Scotts Bluff
County Local Planning Team identified Agricultural Animal Disease, Flooding, Grass/Wildfire, Severe
Thunderstorms, and Severe Winter Storms as the highest concerns.
Flooding
The Local Planning Team indicated that the most recent effect from flooding occurred in the summer of
2015, when minor flooding occurred due to excessive rain. Most of the flooding within Scotts Bluff is a
result of both riverine flooding and flash flooding. The most prone areas of the county which are prone to
flooding tend to be the communities lower in elevation: Henry, Morrill, Mitchell, Scottsbluff, and Minatare.
The Local Planning Team indicated that there are a few bodies of water within Scotts Bluff county, such as
Glendo Reservoir, the North Platte River, and Lake Minatare, communities near these areas will likely be
more prone to flooding compared with the rest of the county. To prevent future losses, the county has
worked to purchase areas within the floodplain.
Severe Thunderstorms
The Local Planning Team indicated that the most recent severe thunderstorm occurred in the summer of
2015, and resulted in power outages in a few areas of the county. To assist with awareness of inclement
weather, weather radios are located in county-owned buildings, to protect employees and residents. As the
community works to continue to prevent large scale damages, a few areas of vulnerability are lightning
strikes, and the potential failure of the power grid.
Severe Winter Storms
The Local Planning Team indicated that severe winter storms occur frequently in Scotts Bluff County;
every other year. The biggest concerns regarding severe winter storms are snow depth and visibility issues.
Regarding implications for the county of Scotts Bluff, the biggest concerns are a storm hampering the
effectiveness of all emergency medical services, hospitals, schools, and power outages for any community.
In order to reduce the impact from each event, the county does have snow routes to clear the most significant
areas of town first, followed by less utilized roadways. On the village level, each individual village is
responsible for snow removal in their own respective communities, 90% of the time this is sufficient,
however, 10% of events require additional support.
Agricultural Animal and Plant Disease
15
Based on the number of acres dedicated to agriculture and feedlots, Scotts Bluff County identified
agricultural animal and plant disease as one of the concerns facing the county. When local disease events
occur, the biggest concern is the disposal of animal carcasses. According to the Local Planning Team, there
are varying degrees of sizes of feedlots in Scotts Bluff County, totaling close to 1,000,000 cattle in the
county. The Scotts Bluff County Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) outlines a variety of triggers
and responses in the case of contagious animal disease. The Scotts Bluff LEOP also discusses the order of
operations, and how to proceed in the case of an outbreak.
Dam Failure
There are 23 dams in Scotts Bluff County. Of these, and four dams have been identified as a high hazard
dam.

PLAN INTEGRATION
Building safe and stronger communities can be accomplished through effective Plan integration. Integrating
hazard mitigation principles into other local planning mechanisms, such as plans addressing land use,
transportation, climate change, sustainability, natural and cultural resource protection, watershed
management, economic development and others can greatly increase an area’s level of resiliency. While
this HMP planning process involved interdepartmental coordination at the local level, this planning process
also sought to analyze how existing planning mechanisms were presently integrated and make suggestions
for further integration. The plans listed in the preceding table were analyzed using guidance from FEMA’s
2014 Plan Integration Guide. The following paragraph presents a summary of the findings of this analysis.

Stormwater System and Drainage Improvements
The county of Scotts Bluff and the City of Scottsbluff have a drainage ditch
which has been repurposed to function as stormwater conveyance. The ditch
begins outside of the city, and continues through the city of Scottsbluff below
ground, in a 48” culvert. The city intends to open this drainage up, so it would
not be limited to the size of the culvert. The city has discussed options with
their city engineer, and intends to move forward as funds allow. The county
will be responsible for the percentage of drainage stretch which falls outside
the city.
