flooding events.<br />

Action ID Action/Description Priority Goal(s)<br />

Addressed<br />

1 Identify flash-flood prone areas to<br />

consider flood reduction measures to<br />

city planners. Flood zone mapping<br />

has provided initial identification of<br />

potential hazard areas that can be<br />

<strong>review</strong>ed with o<strong>the</strong>r data sources,<br />

such as <strong>the</strong> watershed districts goals<br />

and objectives, in developing long<br />

range planning activities for flood<br />

prevention, or o<strong>the</strong>r planning steps to<br />

reduce exposure to this hazard.<br />

2 Research funding options to<br />

construct storm shelters for existing<br />

mobile home parks in <strong>the</strong> City of<br />

Lansing that currently do not have<br />

storm shelters or have inadequate<br />

storm shelters. Mobile homes are<br />

particularly vulnerable to damage<br />

from high winds. Residents, even<br />

those who live in mobile homes with<br />

tie-downs, should seek safe shelter<br />

when a tornado threatens. Tornado<br />

shelters should be constructed in<br />

major mobile home parks to ensure a<br />

safe place for residents to go during<br />

a tornado event. The shelter<br />

structure, which should be designed<br />

to withstand a minimum of 120mph<br />

winds, could easily serve an<br />

alternate purpose such as a<br />

community center, laundry facility,<br />

etc. Tornado shelters should be for<br />

last minute protection for high wind<br />

events. Mobile Home Courts that<br />

currently do not have storm shelters<br />

or have inadequate storm shelters<br />

were identified as Wiley Mobile<br />

Home Court, Clear Creek Court,<br />

Black’s Mobile Home Court, and<br />

Parkwood Court Manufactured Home<br />
