ATN]D Illill for the Regular Meeting of June 26, 2018 on Mating Epartment: Community Deve1opmv Department Head: City Manager: Icha Flat” Item No. 5 City ofSouth Gatt. CITY COUNCiL ATN]D IllILL For the Regular Meeting of June 26, 2018 On mating epartment: Community Deve1opmV Department Head: City Manager: ichaFlat” SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE UPDATED LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN PURPOSE: Consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation to adopt the updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Following the conclusion of the public hearing, adopt Resolution adopting the updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, describing the City’s efforts to prepare for and respond to emergencies. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact to the City. Failure to adopt the Resolution could affect the City’s eligibility for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) disaster mitigation funding. ALIGNMENT WITH COUNCIL GOALS: The adoption of the updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan supports the goal of protecting strong and sustainable neighborhoods. Some naturally occurring hazards may be unavoidable, but the potential impact on the City of South Gate can be reduced through advance planning and preparation. The updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan addresses geologic, seismic, flood, and fire hazards, as well as hazards created by human activity such as hazardous materials and incidents that call for emergency protection. ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION: The foregoing is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, which provides that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where, as here, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS: Advertising and notification of the public hearing for this item was conducted in compliance with Chapter 11.50 (Administration), Title 11 (Zoning) of the South Gate Municipal Code. Notice of the hearing was originally posted and published in the Los Angeles Wave newspaper on June 14, 2018. ANALYSIS: The purpose of a Hazard Mitigation Plan is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards and their effects on the City. An updated and adopted plan is required not only to reduce risk to the community, but to maintain eligibility for disaster mitigation funding from FEMA under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. This plan was last adopted by City Council on May 13, 2008 and approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on July 23, 2008. Per FEMA, the plan must be updated every 5 years, so the current pian expired on July 23, 2013. Federal and State Requirements The Federal Disaster Management Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), Section 322 (a-d), requires that any local government wishing to receive federal disaster mitigation funds have a mitigation plan that accomplishes the following: • Describes the process for identifying hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities in the community • Identifies and prioritizes hazard mitigation activities • Encourages the development of local mitigation actions • Provides technical support for hazard mitigation efforts This Plan meets the requirements identified in DMA 2000 and is consistent with current FEMA hazard mitigation requirements and guidance. California Government Code Section 65302.6 (as added by Assembly Bill [AB] 2140) identifies specific components to include in a local mitigation plan: • An evaluation of the earthquake performance of public facilities that provide critical government functions, shelters, and other essential services • An inventory of private facilities that may be hazardous • Strategies to reduce the risk from private and government facilities In addition, California Government Code Section 8685.9 (also as added by AB 2140) provides for additional disaster funding if a jurisdiction has an adopted mitigation plan as part of its General Plan. This Plan is consistent with Sections 65302.6 and 8685.9, as it is integrated with the Safety Element of the General Plan. FEMA Review The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, provides the legal basis for state, tribal, and local governments to undertake risk-based approaches to reducing natural hazard risks through mitigation planning. Specifically, the Stafford Act requires state, tribal, and local governments to develop and adopt FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plans as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance. FEMA has reviewed the proposed Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and has determined that the plan is eligible for final approval pending its formal adoption by the City. Safety Element On March 13, 2018, the City Council adopted an updated Safety Element which addresses geologic, seismic, flood, and fire hazards, as well as hazards created by human activity such as hazardous materials and incidents that call for emergency protection. The proposed Local Hazard Mitigation Plan includes mitigation measures as identified by the updated Safety Element. An 2 approved Local Hazard Mitigation Plan satisfies Safety Element Goal 2. Policy 2.1.7 to Maintain FEMA certification of the Local Hazard MitigationP1an. Public Engagement and Participation As part of a comprehensive outreach process, five steering committee meetings were conducted with Finance, Police, Public Works, Community Development, and Parks and Recreation Department staff, as well as Long Angeles County Fire Department participants between July 2015 and April 2016. An interactive website was also developed, where residents could contribute to the data gathering process and provide comments. A link to the survey was placed on the City’s website as well as distributed via City e-mail lists. The survey asked about potential hazards facing South Gate, and what steps community members have taken or are interested in taking to reduce the threat from these hazards. From 143 respondents that participated, the survey produced the following key outcomes: • Earthquakes, diseases or pests, and drought were the three potential hazards that caused the most concern for community members. • Only 20 percent of respondents are part of South Gate’s Community Emergency Response Team, but over half of remaining respondents were interested in learning more about joining. • Although nearly half of the City is in FEMA’s 500-year flood zone, only 27 percent of respondents have flood insurance. The members of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Planning Team reviewed the survey results and drafted the LHMP in response to the key issues raised in the survey, including addressing the hazards of greatest concern and responding to South Gate’s perceived vulnerabilities to hazard events. Public outreach was conducted in compliance with FEMA requirements by hosting a booth at the October 24, 2015, Family Day event at South Gate Park. This event provided an opportunity for over 60 participants to participate in a survey that contributed to data collection efforts and understanding of local concerns surrounding hazards. The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan was reviewed by CaIOES and FEMA and both have determined that the plan is eligible for final approval pending its adoption by the City. BACKGROUND: A natural hazard is a natural occurring event, such as an earthquake or flood that could harm human life and property. Natural hazards pose severe risks to people and property. Such events may cause injuries or deaths, and damage or destroy buildings and infrastructure. People may be displaced from their homes, key services can be disrupted, and the local economy may be affected. While a community cannot filly protect against every potential impact of every hazard, such impacts can be reduced or mitigated. This Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies opportunities to mitigate these impacts and improve resiliency to natural hazards in the City of South Gate. ATTACHMENTS: A. Proposed Resolution B.

  • Los Angeles County
    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of Los Angeles County Arroyo Sequit Arroyo Sequit consists of about 3.3 stream miles. The arroyo is formed by the confluence of the East and West forks, from where it flows south to enter the Pacific Ocean east of Sequit Point. As part of a survey of 32 southern coastal watersheds, Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1979. The O. mykiss sampled were between about two and 6.5 inches in length. The survey report states, “Historically, small steelhead runs have been reported in this area” (DFG 1980). It also recommends, “…future upstream water demands and construction should be reviewed to insure that riparian and aquatic habitats are maintained” (DFG 1980). Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1989-1990 as part of a study of six streams originating in the Santa Monta Mountains. The resulting report indicates the presence of steelhead and states, “Low streamflows are presently limiting fish habitat, particularly adult habitat, and potential fish passage problems exist…” (Keegan 1990a, p. 3-4). Staff from DFG surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 1993 and captured O. mykiss, taking scale and fin samples for analysis. The individuals ranged in length between about 7.7 and 11.6 inches (DFG 1993). As reported in a distribution study, a 15-17 inch trout was observed in March 2000 in Arroyo Sequit (Dagit 2005). Staff from NMFS surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 2002 as part of a study of steelhead distribution. An adult steelhead was observed during sampling (NMFS 2002a). Additional documentation of steelhead using the creek between 2000-2007 was provided by Dagit et al.

Hazardous Dams, Flood Risk, and Dimensions of Vulnerability in California A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Urban and Regional Planning by Britta McOmber 2018 © Copyright by Britta McOmber 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS What’s the Dam Problem? Hazardous Dams, Flood Risk, and Dimensions of Vulnerability in California by Britta McOmber Master of Urban and Regional Planning University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Susanna B. Hecht, Chair In the state of California, dams are aging, underfinanced, and in many cases ill-maintained. The Oroville Dam Spillway Failure in February 2017 demonstrates that even dams with satisfactory condition ratings can be at risk of failing from a combination of climatic, political, economic, and structural factors. It is therefore necessary to look beyond the condition assessment of a dam and instead consider the hazard potential status. California has 833 High Hazard Potential (HHP) dams – which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers defines as dams that would cause significant loss of life, property destruction, or environmental damage in the case of failure or misoperation (2016). Expanding on previous literature on the sociodemographic determinants of flood-risk in cases of sea-level rise, climate change, high precipitation, and storm events, this project analyzes variables of social vulnerability within HHP dam inundation boundaries.

  • City of Azusa Local Hazard Mitigation Plan October 2018
    City of Azusa Local Hazard Mitigation Plan October 2018 Executive Summary The City of Azusa prepared this Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) to guide hazard mitigation planning to better protect the people and property of the City from the effects of natural disasters and hazard events. This plan demonstrates the community’s commitment to reducing risks from hazards and serves as a tool to help decision makers direct mitigation activities and resources. This plan was also developed in order for the City to be eligible for certain federal disaster assistance, specifically, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program, and the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program. Each year in the United States, natural disasters take the lives of hundreds of people and injure thousands more. Nationwide, taxpayers pay billions of dollars annually to help communities, organizations, businesses, and individuals recover from disasters. These monies only partially reflect the true cost of disasters, because additional expenses to insurance companies and nongovernmental organizations are not reimbursed by tax dollars. Many natural disasters are predictable, and much of the damage caused by these events can be alleviated or even eliminated. The purpose of hazard mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long- term risk to people and property from hazards LHMP Plan Development Process Hazard mitigation planning is the process through which hazards that threaten communities are identified, likely impacts determined, mitigation goals set, and appropriate mitigation strategies determined, prioritized, and implemented. This plan documents the hazard mitigation planning process and identifies relevant hazards and vulnerabilities and strategies the City will use to decrease vulnerability and increase resiliency and sustainability in the community.

  • The City Is Divided Into Many Neighborhoods, Many of Which Were Towns That Were Annexed by the Growing City
    The city is divided into many neighborhoods, many of which were towns that were annexed by the growing city. There are also several independent cities in and around Los Angeles, but they are popularly grouped with the city of Los Angeles, either due to being completely engulfed as enclaves by Los Angeles, or lying within its immediate vicinity. Generally, the city is divided into the following areas: Downtown Los Angeles, Northeast - including Highland Park and Eagle Rock areas, the Eastside, South Los Angeles (still often colloquially referred to as South Central by locals), the Harbor Area, Hollywood, Wilshire, the Westside, and the San Fernando and Crescenta Valleys. Some well-known communities of Los Angeles include West Adams, Watts, Venice Beach, the Downtown Financial District, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Hollywood, Hancock Park, Koreatown, Westwood and the more affluent areas of Bel Air, Benedict Canyon, Hollywood Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Brentwood. [edit] Landmarks Important landmarks in Los Angeles include Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Tokyo, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Kodak Theatre, Griffith Observatory, Getty Center, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Sign, Hollywood Boulevard, Capitol Records Tower, Los Angeles City Hall, Hollywood Bowl, Watts Towers, Staples Center, Dodger Stadium and La Placita Olvera/Olvera Street. Downtown Los Angeles Skyline of downtown Los Angeles Downtown Los Angeles is the central business district of Los Angeles, California, United States, located close to the geographic center of the metropolitan area.
