The Village of Robbins occupies approximately 1.5 square miles of land within Bremen Township. Neighboring communities include Crestwood, Midlothian, Blue Island, Alsip, and Posen. • Brief History: The Village of Robbins was incorporated in 1917. The village’s first mayor was Thomas J. Kellar. The citizens of the unincorporated area of Cook County sought to protect their property from the citizens of surrounding towns and also to provide the necessary public services required by a growing settlement. Thomas J. Kellar, having worked at the Markham court house, was tasked with investigating the procedures of incorporation. The Village of Robbins was incorporated and was named after the original realtor and subdivider, Eugene Robbins. Robbins is one of the oldest African American governed towns in the northern United States. • Climate: The climate of the Village of Robbins and the Chicago area is classified as humid continental, with all four seasons distinctly represented: wet springs; hot and humid summers; pleasant autumns; and cold winters. Annual precipitation is average, and reaches its lowest points in the months of January and February, and peaks in the months of May and June. Winter proves quite variable. Seasonal snowfall in the city has ranged from 9 – 90 inches. The daily average temperature in January at Midway Airport is 24.8 °F (−4.0 °C), and temperatures often stay below freezing for several consecutive days or even weeks in January and February. Temperatures drop to or below 0 °F (−18 °C) on 5.5 nights annually at Midway and 8.2 nights at O’Hare. Spring in the Chicago area is perhaps the city’s wettest and unpredictable season. Winter like conditions can persist well into April and even occasionally into May. Thunderstorms are especially prevalent in the spring time as the city’s lakeside location makes it a center of conflicts between large volumes of warmer and colder air,

Event Date of May 26, 1909. Originalmagnitude of 5.0; increased magnitude foranalysis of 6.0. Depth: 10 km. EpicenterLat/Long: 41.6N 88.1WAn Epicenter Map is derived from a databaseof historical earthquakes developed from threesources (Composite Earthquake Catalog,2002, Earthquake Data Base, 2002, andEarthquake Seismicity Catalog, 1996). Thedatabase has been sorted to remove historicalearthquakes with magnitudes less than 5.0.The Epicenter Map is based on a historicalearthquake epicenter, selected from thedatabase.

Soil classification data provided by the IllinoisState Geological Society.The procedures outlined in the NEHRPprovisions (Building Seismic Safety Council,2004) and the 2003 International BuildingCodes (International Code Council, 2002)were followed to produce the soil site classmaps. Central U.S. Earthquake Consortium(CUSEC) State Geologists used the entirecolumn of soil material down to bedrock anddid not include any bedrock in the calculationof the average shear wave velocity for thecolumn, since it is the soil column and thedifference in shear wave velocity of the soils incomparison to the bedrock which influencesmuch of the amplification.

Liquefaction data provided by the Illinois StateGeological Society. Liquefaction data basedon the Youd and Perkins (1978) method.A liquefaction susceptibility map provides anestimate of the likelihood that soil will liquefyas a result of earthquake shaking. This type ofmap depicts the relative susceptibility in arange that varies from very low to high. Areasunderlain by bedrock or peat are mappedseparately as these earth materials are notliquefiable, although peat deposits may besubject to permanent ground deformationcaused by earthquake shaking.

100-Year Modeled Tornado Event (F4)
500-Year Modeled Tornado Event (F5)
The 100- and 500-year events have beenmodeled based on fifty-nine years of tornadodata for Cook County. The wind speeds,widths, lengths, and direction for each eventwere developed using existing historicaltornado data. The simulated storms and theircorresponding losses within this jurisdictionwere used to determine the 100- and 500-yeareconomic loss event.
