Mitigation Measures

The following are the top ten high priority mitigation measures defined by the Pryor Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee.

• Floods - Acquire floodplain properties where acquisition is the most cost-effective mitigation measure.
• Winter Storms - Reduce the number of overhead power lines through consolidating existing lines and burying new lines underground.
• Winter Storms - Develop a contingency plan and acquire equipment for responding to a massive power outage due to severe winter storm, ice and snow.
• Winter Storms - Provide public awareness on effective ways to monitor and avoid ice damage, frozen pipes, and snow loads on roof systems.
• Winter Storms - Provide for routine trimming of trees to reduce power outages during storms. Update City of Pryor arborist crew with equipment as needed or for major storm events.
• General - Provide Certified Disaster Training for City employees, and coordinate efforts with local CERT Teams.
• Tornadoes - Install community safe-rooms / storm shelters.
• Tornadoes - Install safe-rooms in schools.
• Tornadoes - Relocate one or more of the existing water towers away from substations where primary electrical functions for the City are located.
• Lightning - Provide surge protection and backup generators for computer-reliant critical facilities (e.g. 911 Center, EOC, police sub-stations, fire stations, etc.)
