  • A Trail Through Time: Hopland to Lakeport on an "Old Indian Trail"
    A Trail through Time: Hopland to Lakeport on an "Old Indian Trail" by Mary Gerbic A thesis submitted to Sonoma State University in partial fulfillment ofthe requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in Cultural Resources Management Margaret Purser, Ph.D., Chair Department of Anthropology Matthew Clark, Ph.D. Department ofGeography and Global Studies Donna Gillette, M.A. Date Copyright 2011 by Mary A. Gerbic ii AUTHORIZATION FOR REPRODUCTION OF MASTERS THESIS/PROJECT I grant permission for the reproduction ofthis thesis in its entirety, without further authorization from me, on the condition that the person or agency requesting reproduction absorb the cost and provide proper acknowledgement of authorship. Date: Signature III A Trail through Time: Hopland to Lakeport on an "Old Indian Trail" Thesis by Mary Gerbic Abstract Purpose ofthe Study: The purpose ofthis study is to generate a context for describing the use and reuse of a trail through the Mayacmas Mountains, historically described as the "Trail between Hopland and Lakeport", and also having its origins as an "Indian Trail". This study area for this project is the Hopland Research and Extension Center (HREC), because the trail is thought to pass through the HREC property. The study ofthis trail also has the potential to contribute to ongoing regional archaeological studies in the southern North Coast Ranges and highlight areas of potential interest for future research. Methods: The study used archaeological, ethnographic, historic, geographic data and local knowledge to identify the route ofthis trail. Sections of the hypothesized route were surveyed, mapped within a GIS, and evaluated using ANOVA and T -Test to determine if there was statistical probability ofa relationship between the trail segments and a set of archaeological sites, as compared to a set of randomly generated points.

  • Chapter 4 Risk Assessment
    Chapter 4 Risk Assessment Requirement §201.6(c)(2): [The plan shall include] A risk assessment that provides the factual basis for activities proposed in the strategy to reduce losses from identified hazards. Local risk assessments must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards. As defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), risk is a combination of hazard, vulnerability, and exposure. “It is the impact that a hazard would have on people, services, facilities, and structures in a community and refers to the likelihood of a hazard event resulting in an adverse condition that causes injury or damage.” The risk assessment process identifies and profiles relevant hazards and assesses the exposure of lives, property, and infrastructure to these hazards. The process allows for a better understanding of a community’s potential risk to natural hazards and provides a framework for developing and prioritizing mitigation actions to reduce risk from future hazard events. This risk assessment followed the methodology described in the FEMA publication Understanding Your Risks—Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses (FEMA 386-2, 2002), which breaks the assessment down to a four-step process: 1. Identify Hazards; 2. Profile Hazard Events; 3. Inventory Assets; and 4. Estimate Losses. Data collected through this process has been incorporated into the following sections of this chapter: ➢ Section 4.1: Hazard Identification identifies the hazards that threaten the planning area and describes why some hazards have been omitted from further consideration. ➢ Section 4.2: Hazard Profiles discusses the threat and impacts to the planning area and describes previous occurrences of hazard events and the likelihood of future occurrences.
