They include: <br />Database of Dry Hydrants/Well Access — The county needs to work with local fire departments to update <br />its database of the locations of dry hydrants and well access. Areas that are not covered by a municipal <br />water source should be evaluated for additional dry hydrant/well access projects. <br />4.3.11 Landslides and Soil Erosion <br />Erosion is the wearing away of land, such as the loss of a riverbank, beach, shoreline, or dune material. <br />It is measured as the rate of change in the position or displacement of a riverbank or shoreline over a <br />period of time. Short-term erosion typically results from periodic natural events, such as flooding, <br />hurricanes, storm surges and windstorms, but may be intensified by human activities. Long-term <br />erosion is a result of multi -year impacts such as repetitive flooding, wave action, sea level rise, sediment <br />loss, subsidence and climate change. Death and injury are not typically associated with erosion; <br />however, major incidents of erosion, such as landslides, can destroy buildings and infrastructure (FEMA, <br />2oi3). <br />Page184 <br />
