Their objective is to ensure that future development is not exposed to damage and does not increase damage to other properties. • Planning • Zoning • Open Space Preservation • Land Development Regulations − Subdivision regulations − floodplain development regulations • Storm Water Management • Fuels Management, Fire-Breaks • Building Codes − Fire-Wise Construction • (See Property Protection also) EMERGENCY SERVICES measures protect people during and after a disaster. A good emergency services program addresses all hazards. Measures include: • Warning (floods, tornadoes, ice storms, hail storms, dam failures) − NOAA Weather Radio − Sirens − Reverse 911 • Evacuation & Sheltering • Communications • Emergency Planning − Activating the emergency operations room (emergency management) − Closing streets or bridges (police or public works) − Shutting off power to threatened areas (utility company) − Holding children at school/releasing children from school (school district) − Passing out sand and sandbags (public works) − Ordering an evacuation (mayor) San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan B.2 − Opening evacuation shelters (Red Cross) − Monitoring water levels (engineering) − Security and other protection measures (police) • Monitoring of Conditions (dams) • Critical Facilities Protection (Buildings or locations vital to the response and recovery effort, such as police/fire stations, hospitals, sewage treatment plants/lift stations, power substations) − Buildings or locations that, if damaged, would create secondary disasters, such as hazardous materials facilities and nursing homes − Lifeline Utilities Protection − Health & Safety Maintenance PROPERTY PROTECTION: Property protection measures are used to modify buildings subject to damage rather than to keep the hazard away. A community may find these to be inexpensive measures because often they are implemented by or cost -shared with property owners. Many of the measures do not affect the appearance or use of a building, which makes them particularly appropriate for historical sites and landmarks. • Retrofitting/disaster proofing − Floods ▪ Wet/Dry floodproofing (barriers, shields, backflow valves) ▪ Relocation ▪ Acquisition − Tornadoes ▪ Safe Rooms ▪ Securing roofs and foundations with fasteners and tie-downs ▪ Strengthening garage doors and other large openings − Drought ▪ Improve water supply (transport/storage/conservation) ▪ Remove moisture competitive plants (Tamarisk/Salt Cedar) ▪ Water Restrictions/Water Saver Sprinklers/Appliances ▪ Grazing on CRP lands (no overgrazing-see Noxious Weeds) ▪ Create incentives to consolidate/connect water services ▪ Recycled wastewater on golf courses − Earthquakes ▪ Removing masonry overhangs, bracing other parts. San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan B.3 ▪ Tying down appliances, water heaters, bookcases and fragile furniture so they won’t fall over during a quake. ▪ Installing flexible utility connections that won’t break during shaking (pipelines too!) − Wildfire, Grassfires ▪ Replacing building components with fireproof materials − Roofing, screening ▪ Create “Defensible Space” ▪ Installing spark arrestors ▪ Fuels Modification − Noxious Weeds/Insects ▪ Mowing ▪ Spraying ▪ Replacement planting ▪ Stop overgrazing ▪ Introduce natural predators • Insurance NATURAL RESOURCE PROTECTION: Natural resource protection activities are generally aimed at preserving (or in some cases restoring) natural areas. In so doing, these activities enable the naturally beneficial functions of floodplains and watersheds to be better realized. These natural and beneficial floodplain functions include the following: • storage of floodwaters • absorption of flood energy • reduction in flood scour • infiltration that absorbs overland flood flow • groundwater recharge • removal/filtering of excess nutrients, pollutants, and sediments from floodwaters • habitat for flora and fauna • recreational and aesthetic opportunities Methods of protecting natural resources include: • Erosion & Sediment Control • Wetlands Protection • Riparian Area/Habitat Protection • Threatened & Endangered Species Protection San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan B.4 • Fuels Management • Set-back regulations/buffers • Best Management Practices Best management practices (“BMPs”) are measures that reduce nonpoint source pollutants that enter the waterways. Nonpoint source pollutants come from non -specific locations. Examples of nonpoint source pollutants are lawn fertilizers, pesticides, and other farm chemicals, animal wastes, oils from street surfaces and industrial areas and sediment from agriculture, construction, mining and forestry. These pollutants are washed off the ground’s surface by stormwater and flushed into receiving storm sewers, ditches and streams. BMPs can be implemented during construction and as part of a project’s design to permanently address nonpoint source pollutants. There are three general categories of BMPs: 1. Avoidance: setting construction projects back from the stream. 2. Reduction: Preventing runoff that conveys sediment and other water-borne pollutants, such as planting proper vegetation and conservation tillage. 3. Cleanse: Stopping pollutants after they are en route to a stream, such as using grass drainageways that filter the water and retention and detention basins that let pollutants settle to the bottom before they are drained • Dumping Regulations • Water Use Restrictions • Weather Modification • Landscape Management STRUCTURAL PROJECTS have traditionally been used by communities to control flows and water surface elevations. Structural projects keep flood waters away from an area. They are usually designed by engineers and managed or maintained by public works staff. These measures are popular with many because they “stop” flooding problems. However, structural projects have several important shortcomings that need to be kept in mind when considering them for flood hazard mitigation: • They are expensive, sometimes requiring capital bond issues and/or cost sharing with Federal agencies, such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the Natural Resources Conservation Service. • They disturb the land and disrupt natural water flows, often destroying habitats. San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan B.5 • They are built to a certain flood protection level that can be exceeded by a larger flood, causing extensive damage. • They can create a false sense of security when people protected by a structure believe that no flood can ever reach them. • They require regular maintenance to ensure that they continue to provide their design protection level. Structural measures include: • Detention/Retention structures • Erosion and Sediment Control • Basins/Low-head Weirs • Channel Modifications • Culvert resizing/replacement/Maintenance • Levees and Floodwalls • Fencing (for snow, sand, wind) • Drainage System Maintenance • Reservoirs(for flood control, water storage, recreation, agriculture) • Diversions • Storm Sewers PUBLIC INFORMATION: A successful hazard mitigation program involves both the public and private sectors. Public information activities advise property owners, renters, businesses, and local officials about hazards and ways to protect people and property from these hazards. These activities can motivate people to take protection • Hazard Maps and Data • Outreach Projects − (mailings, media, web, speakers bureau) • Library Resources • Real Estate Disclosure • Environmental Education • Technical Assistance San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan B.6 Alternative Mitigation Measures per Category Prevention Preventive measures are designed to keep the problem from occurring or getting worse. Their objective is to ensure that future development is not exposed to damage and does not increase damage to other properties. • Planning • Zoning • Open space preservation • Land development regulations − Subdivision regulations − Floodplain development regulations • Stormwater management • Fuels management, fire breaks • Building codes − Firewise construction • (also see Property Protection) Emergency Services Emergency services protect people during and after a disaster.

(different groups, different generations) • Technical—Will it work? (Does it solve the problem? Is it feasible?) • Administrative—Do you have the capacity to implement and manage project? • Political—Who are the stakeholders? Did they get to participate? Is there public support? Is political leadership willing to support? • Legal—Does your organization have the authority to implement? Is it legal? Are there liability implications? • Economic—Is it cost-beneficial? Is there funding? Does it contribute to the local economy or economic development? • Environmental—Does it comply with environmental regulations? Sustainable Disaster Recovery • Quality of life • Social equity • Hazard mitigation • Economic development • Environmental protection/enhancement • Community participation Smart Growth Principles • Infill versus sprawl • Efficient use of land resources • Full use of urban resources • Mixed uses of land • Transportation options • Detailed, human-scale design Other • Does measure address area with highest risk? • Does measure protect … − The largest # of people exposed to risk? − The largest # of buildings? − The largest # of jobs? San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan B.12 − The largest tax income? − The largest average annual loss potential? − The area impacted most frequently? − Critical infrastructure (access, power, water, gas, telecommunications)? • What is timing of available funding? • What is visibility of project? • Community credibility Mitigation Action Selection and Prioritization Criteria Does the proposed action protect lives? Does the proposed action address hazards or areas with the highest risk? Does the proposed action protect critical facilities, infrastructure, or community assets? Does the proposed action meet multiple objectives (multi-objective management)? STAPLE/E Developed by FEMA, this method of applying evaluation criteria enables the planning team to consider in a systematic way the social, technical, administrative, political, legal, economic, and environmental opportunities and constraints of implementing a particular mitigation action. For each action, the HMPC should ask, and consider the answers to, the following questions: Social Does the measure treat people fairly (different groups, different generations)? Technical Will it work? (Does it solve the problem? Is it feasible?) Administrative Is there capacity to implement and manage project? San Luis Obispo Local Hazard Mitigation Plan B.13 Political Who are the stakeholders? Did they get to participate? Is there public support? Is political leadership willing to support it? Legal Does your organization have the authority to implement? Is it legal? Are there liability implications? Economic Is it cost-beneficial? Is there funding? Does it contribute to the local economy or economic development? Does it reduce direct property losses or indirect economic losses? Environmental Does it comply with environmental regulations or have adverse environmental impacts County of San Luis Obispo B.14 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Example Mitigation Action Items by Community Rating System Mitigation Category and Hazard Alternative Mitigation Actions Biological Agents Dam Failure Floods Landslides, Land Subsidence Adverse Weather (hail, lightning, wind, temps, fog, drought, tornadoes) Earthquake Wildfire Coastal Storms/ Erosion/ Sea Level Rise/ Tsunami Hazardous Materials PREVENTION Building codes and enforcement ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Comprehensive Watershed Tax ■ Density controls ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Design review standards ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Easements ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Environmental review standards ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Floodplain development regulations ■ ■ ■ Hazard mapping ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Floodplain zoning ■ ■ ■ Forest fire fuel reduction ■ Housing/landlord codes ■ ■ Slide-prone area/grading/hillside development regulations ■ ■ ■ Manufactured home guidelines/regulations ■ ■ ■ ■ Multi-Jurisdiction cooperation within watershed ■ ■ Open space preservation ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Performance standards ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Special use permits ■ ■ ■ ■ Stormwater management regulations ■ Subdivision and ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ County of San Luis Obispo B.15 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Alternative Mitigation Actions Biological Agents Dam Failure Floods Landslides, Land Subsidence Adverse Weather (hail, lightning, wind, temps, fog, drought, tornadoes) Earthquake Wildfire Coastal Storms/ Erosion/ Sea Level Rise/ Tsunami Hazardous Materials development regulations Surge protectors and lightning protection ■ Tree Management ■ ■ ■ Transfer of development rights ■ ■ ■ ■ Utility location ■ ■ ■ ■ PROPERTY PROTECTION Acquisition of hazard prone structures ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Construction of barriers around structures ■ ■ ■ ■ Elevation of structures ■ ■ ■ Relocation out of hazard areas ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Non structural improvements (safety film on windows, bookshelf anchoring, critical equipment bracing etc.) ■ ■ Structural retrofits (e.g., reinforcement, floodproofing, bracing, etc. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ PUBLIC EDUCATION AND AWARENESS Debris Control ■ Flood Insurance ■ ■ ■ Hazard information centers ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ County of San Luis Obispo B.16 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Alternative Mitigation Actions Biological Agents Dam Failure Floods Landslides, Land Subsidence Adverse Weather (hail, lightning, wind, temps, fog, drought, tornadoes) Earthquake Wildfire Coastal Storms/ Erosion/ Sea Level Rise/ Tsunami Hazardous Materials Public education and outreach programs ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Real estate disclosure ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Crop Insurance ■ ■ NATURAL RESOURCE PROTECTION Best Management Practices (BMPs) ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Forest and vegetation management ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Hydrological Monitoring ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Sediment and erosion control regulations ■ ■ ■ ■ Stream corridor restoration ■ ■ Stream dumping regulations ■ ■ Urban forestry and landscape management ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Wetlands development regulations ■ ■ ■ ■ EMERGENCY SERVICES Critical facilities protection ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Emergency response services ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Hazard threat recognition ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Hazard warning systems (community sirens, NOAA weather radio) ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Evacuation planning ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ STRUCTURAL PROJECTS County of San Luis Obispo B.17 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Alternative Mitigation Actions Biological Agents Dam Failure Floods Landslides, Land Subsidence Adverse Weather (hail, lightning, wind, temps, fog, drought, tornadoes) Earthquake Wildfire Coastal Storms/ Erosion/ Sea Level Rise/ Tsunami Hazardous Materials Channel maintenance ■ Dams/reservoirs (including maintenance) ■ ■ Levees and floodwalls (including upgrades) ■ ■ Safe room/shelter ■ ■ ■ Snow fences ■ Water supply augmentation ■ Post-disaster mitigation ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Appendix C: Planning Process Documentation San Luis Obispo County Hazard Mitigation Plan Appendix C: Planning Process Documentation From: Ji l l i an H.

(Wood), the consulting firm hired to facilitate the planning process and develop the updated County plan. Jeff introduced Dan Gira with the Wood Santa Barbara office and asked everyone around the room to introduce themselves. Thirty-three (33) persons representing a mix of county departments, local governments, special districts and stakeholders were present and documented on a sign-in sheet. County representatives included Planning, Office of Emergency Services, Public Works, Civic Spark and the Agriculture department. Municipalities: • City of San Luis Obispo Fire Department • Arroyo Grande • Atascadero • Five Cities Fire • Morro Bay • Paso Robles Community Service Districts and Special Districts: • Avila Beach CSD • Ground Squirrel Hollow CSD • Heritage Ranch CSD • Oceano CSD • Port San Luis Harbor District • Templeton CSD Stakeholders and other interested parties present included: • SLO County Fire Safe Council • Cal Poly – City and Regional Planning Department professor • Member of the public/interested party San Luis Obispo County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 2 Jeff asked how many had participated in a local hazard mitigation planning process and several raised their hands. Following a brief safety moment related to Tsunamis Jeff discussed the agenda items; the key discussion is summarized below and additional details are within the meeting PowerPoint presentation. Mitigation Planning and the Disaster Mitigation Act Requirements Jeff presented PowerPoint slides that outlined the planning process and the Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000 Requirements. Jeff also mentioned the increase in the number of disaster incidents and the corresponding increase in recovery costs in California and nationwide in recent years. The upside of these disasters is that more funding is becoming available for mitigation projects. The SLO Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) will be updated in accordance with the DMA 2000. The planning process involves a 4 Phase approach with 9 steps per FEMA guidance updated in 2013. The update will also align with the Community Rating System (CRS) 10 step floodplain management planning process, which be an added benefit to the City of San Luis Obispo and City of Morro Bay who participate in the program. An important aspect of the plan update is that it’s needed to be eligible for FEMA mitigation grant funding. Additionally, local governmental agencies that have incorporated the HMP by reference into their General Plans are eligible to receive a potentially higher state share of California Disaster Assistance Act funding post-disaster. Jeff emphasized the importance and benefits of hazard mitigation planning and the types of mitigation projects that can be funded if eligibility requirements are met. In California, these projects have included wildfire mitigation/fuels treatment, flood reduction/drainage improvements, landslide stabilization, generators and warning systems. Recent changes in FEMA policy now make certain levee projects eligible, provided they don’t duplicate another federal program, and ‘climate resilient’ activities including groundwater recharge for drought mitigation and green infrastructure for stormwater mitigation. Objectives and Schedule for the HIRA Update The HMP update will be based on existing documents and studies, with the SLO County Hazard Mitigation Plan (2014) and other existing municipal HMPs providing the baseline for identified hazards and the groundwork for policies and actions for hazard mitigation. Aspects of the planning process include: • Engage the municipal government participants to create jurisdiction-specific annexes to the plan • Include other special districts and community service districts in the plan update • Raise awareness and engage the public • Update hazards and baseline development data to reflect current conditions • Update the mitigation strategy The HMP will be updated over the next six months, with at least two more meetings with the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee. Wood will be updating the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) in the next couple of months, with input from the HMPC. Three drafts of the HMP will be created: the first for review by HMPC committee, a second for public review, and a third for state and FEMA review. The first draft for HMPC review is targeted for mid-June 2019, and a public review draft in July. The HMP update will also inform a parallel effort to update the safety element of the SLO County General Plan. San Luis Obispo County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 3 Role of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) The County and participating jurisdictions (local governments including special districts and community service districts) will comprise the HMPC to provide input into the plan update. A key component of this update is the multi-jurisdictional aspect. Several individual HMPs will be combined into the overall County HMP during the update process. The HMPC is anticipated to include representatives from the following local governments: • County of San Luis Obispo • Seven Incorporated Cities (Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo) • Eight Community Service Districts (Avila Beach, Ground Squirrel Hollow, Heritage Ranch, Los Osos, Nipomo, San Miguel, San Simeon, Templeton) • Three other Special Districts (San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Cayucos Sanitary District, Port San Luis Harbor District) • Incorporation of the Oceano Community Service District’s LHMP, which is being developed concurrently. A HMPC member noted that not all of the special districts and potentially eligible jurisdictions were listed. The County OES representative replied that all were invited to participate during the planning grant development and these were communities that signed commitment letters to participate. Jeff emphasized that local input, and participation from the county, municipalities, special districts and community service districts is required for full approval from FEMA. Participation includes the following: • Attend meetings and participate in the planning process • Provide requested information to update or develop jurisdictional annexes • Review drafts and provide comments • Identify mitigation projects specific to jurisdiction, provide status • Assist with and participate in the public input process • Coordinate formal adoption Stakeholders include other local, state and federal agencies with a stake in hazard mitigation in the County or may include academic institutions and local business and industry. State and federal government examples include CalDWR, CalFire, Cal OES, U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Reclamation. Cal Poly, gas and electric utility providers have also been invited as stakeholders. Neighboring counties will be notified about the update and given an opportunity to provide input into the process. Stakeholders have various options and levels of participation including: • Attend HMPC meetings or stay in loop via email list • Provide data/information • Partner on mitigation efforts • Review draft plan San Luis Obispo County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 4 Review of Identified Hazards Based on hazards from the 2014 County HMP, the list of potential hazards was reviewed. Jeff showed a slide that listed the hazards in the 2014 HMP. Climate change was also included in the 2014 plan and noted with the hazards that could be affected (probability and intensity), where applicable. • Adverse Weather o Drought o Freeze o Hail o Fog o Thunderstorm o Tornadoes o Wind • Agricultural pest infestation and plant disease • Biological agents (naturally occurring) • Coastal storm/coastal erosion • Earthquakes, faults, and liquefaction • Flooding • Landslide • Tsunami and seiche • Wildfire The group thought that the original list of hazards was still valid with some modifications. Jeff noted that the significance level of hazards will vary by jurisdiction, and some hazards may not be applicable to all jurisdictions. Additional insight and details were learned during the conversation among participants. Highlights of the discussion include: • Dam Failure: needs to be added as a separate hazard. • Drought: needs to be separated from Adverse Weather and profiled on its own. • Flood: The County is in the process of having its NFIP flood maps updated. • Subsidence: This has become more of a concern due to heavy groundwater withdrawal during the recent severe multi-year drought. It is an issue in the northern part of the county and around the City of San Luis Obispo. • Debris flow: This should be noted in the landslide and wildfire sections. • Sea Level Rise: This will be included in the update, either as its own hazard or combined with the coastal erosion hazard. • Tree Mortality: Significant tree deaths have occurred due to long term drought and insect infestations. Three types of trees have been affected including oak, eucalyptus, and Monterrey Pines. This needs to be addressed in the plan update; Jeff recommended tree issues/hazards be addressed within the drought, wind and wildfire sections as consequences of these hazards. A general decline in the amounts of coastal fog in recent years has also been contributing to Monterrey Pine mortality. • Biological agents: There have been recent efforts related to pandemic planning and associated exercises. The focus of the HMP update is on natural hazards, since human-caused hazards are not required by DMA 2000 regulations and often are dealt with through separate planning mechanisms. There was San Luis Obispo County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 5 discussion on potential human-caused hazards to be included or noted in the 2019 HMP update which included: • Hazardous materials/transported and fixed facility: o Train derailments o Oil spills o Diablo Canyon nuclear incident • Civil unrest • Cyber threats Jeff will prepare a revised hazard identification list to share via email and finalize with input from the HMPC after the meeting. Jeff noted that every hazard profiled must have at least one mitigation action identified. Jeff Brislawn asked the group to review the list of hazards and comment on how they could be enhanced or updated with: • Historic incidents • Incident logs • Public perception • Scientific studies • Other plans and reports (e.g., flood and drainage studies, CWPPs, Internet databases) • Recent disasters Coordinating with Other Agencies\Related Planning Efforts\Recent Studies A discussion of other agencies that should be coordinated with took place. Those noted included: • Wildland Urban Interface Institute • School districts (some concerned with sea level rise) • Community of Cambria • Camp Roberts • Camp Lewis • Coast Guard • State Parks • Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) to manage groundwater sustainability within groundwater subbasins defined by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR); it was noted that most of these agencies were represented by the local government participants. A discussion on recent studies of hazards in other documents and reports followed. Opportunities for coordinating and cross-referencing the HMP were discussed. Recent studies and related planning efforts included: • The countywide CWPP has recently been updated and going to be approved in March • Cal Poly evacuation planning model • County stormwater resources plan San Luis Obispo County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 6 Planning for Public Involvement How to involve the public was discussed. The public can be a source of information on hazards and mitigation ideas. Public meetings are scoped to be part of the effort, but Jeff recommend ‘piggy backing’ on other public forums where possible to ensure an audience. Suggestions included: • Outreach through social media • Use county and city websites to link to information on plan • Use the City of San Luis Obispo’s Open City Hall web platform • Use of an online public survey; getting the word out will be key to its success Data Collection Needs and Next steps A “Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Guide” handout was provided and discussed. Jeff emphasized that this guide is for all local government jurisdictions participating in the plan update. It contains worksheets that will need to be completed with input from each jurisdiction. It is particularly important for jurisdictions that have never been covered by a hazard mitigation plan to fill out the worksheets. These are due back to Jeff by email February 28th. A Google Share Drive will be set up for the project to share large documents. A GIS needs list was provided to the County to assist with data collection. The County will provide the meeting summary, handouts, presentation and sign in sheet by email so that other HMPC members that could not attend today’s meeting could get up to speed. Jeff noted that he will be in touch to followup on some of the previously identified data sources and plans. Adjourn The meeting adjourned at 4:00 pm. Summary prepared by Jeff Brislawn, Wood Jeff.brislawn@woodplc.com 303-820-4654 1942 Broadway, Suite 314 Boulder, CO 80302 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Guide for San Luis Obispo County, California Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) Prepared by Wood January 2019 San Luis Obispo County 2 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 Overview The contents of this workbook have been designed to assist San Luis Obispo County and its jurisdictions (municipalities and special districts) in the 2019 update of the 2014 Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, in accordance with the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000 update requirements. The mitigation planning regulation at 44 CFR §201.6(d)(3) states: A local jurisdiction must review and revise its plan to reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities, and resubmit it for approval within five (5) years in order to continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding. This guide includes a description of the necessary background information needed to support the hazard mitigation plan update process. This includes an update of the hazard identification and vulnerability assessment, revisiting the assessment of San Luis Obispo County’s current hazard mitigation capabilities, and a review of the progress on mitigation projects intended to prevent or reduce future losses. The plan’s key components will be revisited through a formal planning process, including re-adoption of the plan in order to secure the continued buy-in of participating jurisdictions. The essential information needed to support the update process includes current background information about San Luis Obispo County and its jurisdictions: plans, technical studies, and data related to hazards and risks; current governing codes, ordinances, regulations, and procedures whose intent is to minimize future losses; and an update of San Luis Obispo County’s technical and organizational capabilities to perform hazard mitigation/loss prevention functions. It is important that the plan shows what San Luis Obispo County is doing now to limit future disaster losses and capture any mitigation success stories since 2014. The planning process is heavily dependent on existing data to be supplied by each of the participants represented on the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC). The DMA plan development process does not require the development of new data but requires existing data only. The goal of this process is to produce an updated hazard mitigation plan that meets San Luis Obispo’s needs, as well as the requirements of DMA 2000 and that contains a list of updated projects that may be eligible for streamlined federal mitigation funding pre or post disaster. What is Mitigation? Hazard mitigation is defined by FEMA as “any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property from a hazard event.” The results of a three-year, congressionally mandated independent study to assess future savings from mitigation activities provides evidence that mitigation activities are highly cost-effective. On average, each dollar spent on mitigation saves society an average of $4 in avoided future losses in addition to saving lives and preventing injuries (National Institute of Building Science Multi-Hazard Mitigation Council 2005). An update to this report in 2017 (Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves: 2017 Interim Report) indicates that mitigation grants funded through select federal government agencies, on average, can save the nation $6 in future disaster costs for every $1 spent on hazard mitigation. San Luis Obispo County 3 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 Mitigation generally means reducing long-term risk from hazards to acceptable levels through predetermined measures accompanying physical development, for example: strengthening structures to withstand high winds or snow loads; elevating, removing or limiting development in flood-prone areas; clearing defensible space around residences in Wildfire Urban Interface (WUI) areas; or designing development away from areas of geological instability. Mitigation can also protect existing development through seismic retrofitting, critical infrastructure protection, floodproofing etc. Mitigation is different from emergency preparedness or response. Preparedness concentrates on activities which make a person, place, or organization ready to respond to a disaster with emergency equipment, food, emergency shelter, and medicine. Response activities may reduce damages, such as sandbagging during a flood, but this is a short-term solution and requires advance warning and resources to be in place during the event. Mitigation of flood hazards through wise floodplain management and hazard avoidance is an example of a long- term solution. Participation The DMA planning regulations and guidance stress that each entity seeking the required FEMA re-approval of their mitigation plan must: • Participate in the process; • Detail areas within the planning area where the risk differs from that facing the entire area; • Identify specific projects to be eligible for funding; and • Have the governing board formally adopt the plan. For HMPC members, ‘participation’ means the planning committee representatives will: • Attend and participate in HMPC meetings; • Provide available data that is requested of the HMPC coordinator; • Provide updates from each jurisdiction’s previous local hazard mitigation plan; • Provide a status report on mitigation actions from the County and each jurisdiction’s previous plan (where applicable); • Review and provide/coordinate comments on the updated plan draft; • Advertise, coordinate and participate in the public input process; and • Coordinate the formal adoption of the plan by the governing board. Plan Update and Data Collection Guide This guide contains an explanation of the types of hazard mitigation/loss prevention data that is needed for the hazard mitigation planning process. This guide identifies specific requirements for the Risk Assessment Process, which includes the Hazard Identification, Vulnerability, and Capability Assessments as well as defines requirements for the update of the Mitigation Strategy. San Luis Obispo County 4 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 The worksheets have been developed to assist with the update process. Each jurisdiction should utilize members of their planning subcommittee to review their existing local hazard mitigation plans (if applicable) and complete the worksheet forms. The jurisdictions that do not have an existing hazard mitigation plan, in particular, should complete the worksheet forms. A step by step process is included in this guide. Each participating jurisdiction (county, city, or special district) that desires credit for participation in the 2019 update must go through this process. The jurisdictions anticipated to participate in the 2019 plan update include: • County of San Luis Obispo (lead entity) • Seven Incorporated Cities (Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo) • Eight Community Service Districts (Avila Beach, Ground Squirrel Hollow, Heritage Ranch, Los Osos, Nipomo, San Miguel, San Simeon, Templeton) • Three other Special Districts (San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Cayucos Sanitary District, Port San Luis Harbor District) • Incorporation of the Oceano Community Service District’s LHMP, which is being developed concurrently. Below is a list of the jurisdictions that have an approved local hazard mitigation plan. Each municipality with an existing hazard mitigation plan should review their plan prior to completing the worksheets. Each jurisdiction on the list should ensure the information below is accurate and include any updates with the completed worksheet forms. • Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach (joint Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2015, includes Lucia Mar Unified School District, South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District) • Morro Bay (Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2006) • Paso Robles (Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2016) • Pismo Beach (Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2015) • San Luis Obispo (Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2014) • San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Participant in San Luis Obispo County Multi -Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2014) • Oceano Community Services District (Draft Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2018) Data collection worksheets or edits to respective sections of San Luis Obispo County’s Hazard Mitigation Plan are due on February 28th, 2019 to Jeff Brislawn (contact information below).

Use the table on the next page to compile a detailed inventory of specific assets at risk including critical facilities and infrastructure; natural, cultural, and historical assets; and economic assets as defined below. Attach supporting documentation, such as photographs, reports, or plans if possible. In the hazard specific column of the asset inventory table, indicate if there is a specific hazard to which the asset is at risk. Critical Facilities Critical Facilities must remain operational during any major disaster and be designed, located, and constructed accordingly. FEMA’s Hazus-MH loss estimation software uses the following three categories of critical assets. ‘Essential facilities’ are those that if damaged would have devastating impacts on disaster response and/or recovery. ‘High potential loss facilities’ are those that would have a high loss or impact on the community. Transportation and lifeline facilities are third category of critical assets; examples are provided below. Essential Facilities High Potential Loss Facilities Transportation and Lifeline ▪ Hospitals and other medical facilities ▪ Police stations ▪ Fire station ▪ Emergency Operations Centers ▪ Power plants ▪ Dams/levees ▪ Military installations ▪ Hazardous material sites ▪ Schools ▪ Shelters ▪ Day care centers ▪ Nursing homes ▪ Main government buildings ▪ Highways, bridges, and tunnels ▪ Railroads and facilities ▪ Bus facilities ▪ Airports ▪ Water treatment facilities ▪ Natural gas facilities and pipelines ▪ Oil facilities and pipelines ▪ Communications facilities Natural, Cultural, and Historical Assets Natural resource assets may include wetlands, threatened and endangered species, or other environmentally sensitive areas. Historical assets include state and federally listed historic sites. Economic Assets Economic assets at risk may include major employers or primary economic sectors, such as agriculture, whose losses or inoperability would have severe impacts on the community and its ability to recover from disaster.

Approximately twenty-four persons were present and documented on a sign in sheet. Review of Mitigation, Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) Requirements, and the Planning Process Following self introductions by attendees a PowerPoint presentation was presented by Jeff Brislawn. Jeff reviewed the planning process being followed and discussed the project status. Jeff emphasized that jurisdictions that have not yet submitted information requested in the planning workbook to do so as soon as possible. This is particularly important for new jurisdictions to the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan as the workbook will provide a basis for the development of jurisdictional annexes. Risk Assessment Presentation and Discussion Jeff outlined the general risk assessment requirements before beginning a detailed discussion of each hazard. He presented highlights on each hazard included in the updated risk assessment chapter of the plan. Refer to the San Luis Obispo County HMP Risk Assessment PowerPoint presentation for specific details on each hazard and a handout summarizing hazard significance. Additional insight and details were learned during the risk assessment conversation among participants. Highlights of the discussion are noted by hazard in the table below. San Luis Obispo County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 2 Hazard or Topic Meeting Discussion AdverseWeather: Heavy Rain, Fog, Hailstorm, Thunderstorm, Tornado, Windstorm, Extreme Heat • Several sub-hazards of Severe Weather were discussed. Agricultural Pest and Disease • No comment Coastal Storms/ Coastal Erosion/Sea Level Rise • Dan Gira from Wood Santa Barbara’s office presented the issues, noting that the sea level rise projections have been changing, generally with higher depths sooner than originally anticipated. Biological Agents • A comment about if typhus had been considered was raised. There have been recent outbreaks in LA with homeless populations being more vulnerable. • Statewide hospital medical exercise after action reports could be a source for additional information on risks, vulnerabilities, and ideas for strategies Dam Incidents • Some HMPC members suggested the count of properties and population at risk seemed low and provided examples of several dams. Jeff noted this was only accounting for residential population and should be considered a low estimate. • An economic loss study for the Whale Rock Dam has been done • It was noted that the long-term loss of the water in the reservoir from a failure event would also have economic impacts. Drought and Water Shortage No comment Earthquake • While the Diablo Canyon plant is determined to withstand earthquake shaking, the power lines from the plan could be a concern. • The transcontinental fiber optic line was noted as a concern, as well as microwave communication sites on mountain tops. • State water project pipelines should be noted as a vulnerability In addition to high pressure gas and petroleum pipelines to Kern County that cross the San Andreas fault Flood • Levee failure has been added in the flood hazard profile • No comment Landslides and Debris Flow • Jeff asked for recent incidents to note in the plan. Avila Beach Drive road was noted as a problem area where the County had done repairs and improvements. A dorm at Cal Poly was affected (Fremont) • In Cambria the Cambria Community Healthcare District facility was impacted by a landslide. • County roads along Santa Rosa Creek San Luis Obispo County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 3 Hazard or Topic Meeting Discussion • Highway 41 between Morro Bay and Atascadero has been closed periodically due to rockslides • Impacts to high mountain roads in the Poso and Lopez areas has affected fire response, Rd 166 also • City of Atascadero has had some impacts • San Simeon CSD also • Some areas near the Hearst property has also seen movement Subsidence • Sinkholes near the hospital have occurred due to groundwater pumping • San Simeon – sinkhole problem near hotel parking lot • Subsidence also is to be addressed in Groundwater Sustainability Plans Tsunami • The population in Pismo and Grover Beach area swell with beachgoing tourists. • The Oceano Dunes state park has as much as 10,000 to 40,000 visitors on busy summer weekends and holidays. Visitors may not heed warnings or know where to go for safety. • Railroad could be impacted Wildfire • The HMPC said that the SRA does not account for ember throw, which can cause structure fires a half mile to a mile beyond the mapped hazard zones. A limitation of the LRA mapping is that only Very High zones are modeled. The Moderate zones should be accounted for also in the countywide assessment. Jeff said that the updated HIRA does included Moderate also. • Another limitation of the SRA mapping is federal lands are not assessed; this should be noted in the plan. • The Chimney Fire should be noted as a major fire • It should be noted • A comment was made that wildfire mitigation effort has been constrained by threatened and endangered species protections; a protected snail in the Los Osos area was specifically mentioned. • A side-bar conversation with the Fire Safe Council representative noted that there should be mapping of the fire hazard with tree mortality overlaid on it. Development trends • A comment was raised about how state mandates to develop additional housing and how that could be in potentially creating additional exposure to hazards. This should be noted in the growth and development trends discussion. San Luis Obispo County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 4 Jeff noted that some additional work remains to finish the assets summary in particular the critical facility analysis. He encouraged review and feedback on the draft HIRA on the Google Drive with comments by April 5th. Capability Assessment Update Jeff noted that the capability assessment update is one of the next steps in the planning process. Jeff noted that FEMA reviewers are paying particular attention to the capability assessments in plan updates. Specifically, they want to see that each jurisdiction looked at and discuss opportunities to expand or improve mitigation capabilities as part of the update process. Mitigation capabilities include administrative, technical and financial. Plan Goals Update Another next step will be updating the plan’s goals. Jeff provided a handout that summarized the goals and objectives of the County HMP and the jurisdictional HMPs, as well as the 2018 State of California HMP goals. Jeff noted how some of the goals are hazard specific, and some are more general. He stated that the update provides an opportunity to review the goals to see if they are still valid, comprehensive and reflect current priorities and the updated risk assessment. Jeff encouraged the jurisdictions to share the goal statements with their local planning teams prior to the next meeting to discuss if any changes are needed. Jurisdictions can have their own specific goals or utilize the County’s goals. The group will revisit the goals for finalization at the beginning of the next meeting. Mitigation Action Strategy update needs Jeff noted that the mitigation action strategy will be revisited moving forward and will be the focus of the next HMPC meeting. Jeff recommended that the existing mitigation actions be reviewed by the HMPC as a status report will need to be completed for each action. Jeff will send out a worksheet to help facilitate the status reporting prior to the next meeting. There will be an opportunity to develop new mitigation actions for the plan as well. These will be identified at the next meeting. Update on Public Involvement Activities/public meeting. An online public survey has been developed and advertised as part of the public process with approximately 30 respondents thus far. The link will be provided for distribution by email and posting on jurisdiction websites. Another public meeting will occur in late April during the same timeframe as the next HMPC meeting with details forthcoming. San Luis Obispo County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2019 5 Plan Timeline/Next steps The next and final two HMPC planning meeting will be during the week of April 22nd. The group preferred having two shorter meetings versus one longer one. The purpose of the next meetings are to update the capability assessment and the mitigation strategy. This will include development of new mitigation actions for the plan and participating jurisdictions. Once the specific dates have been identified, a calendar update will be sent out.

Introductions • All jurisdictions represented, except for San Miguel CSD and Cayucos Sanitary District. 2. Planning Process Status Update • No questions were raised regarding project status. 3. Updating Goals for the Mitigation Plan Goals: Questions/comments: • Comment on Goal #3: Clarify the meaning of “local capacity” by changing the text to read: “Build and support local capacity to address and commitment to minimize…..” • Comment on Goal #4: Rearrange and condense the text to read: “Minimize level of injury and loss of life and damage to existing and future critical facilities…..” o There was a suggestion made to leave out the word “natural” to encompass all hazards, natural and manmade. o There was a suggestion made to combine the Goal #4 Objectives to reduce redundancy. o Jeff noted that some of these may be revisited when we go through mitigation actions to see what needs to be general or specific. • Comment on Goals #5 and #6: These encompass Public Health issues, and may be necessary to acknowledge the public health and agricultural departments. o There was a comment to change Goals #5 and #6 to objectives or to generalize them. • It was clarified that each hazard is defined and discussed in the hazard profile, and the goals themselves do not need to define each hazard. • Goal #6: Add “forest” into the goal to encompass forest pests and disease. o Jeff commented that this goal could also include natural resources, to be more all-encompassing. • Goal #7: Question regarding sea level rise and its place in the objectives for Goal #7 – should this be clarified, reduced, expanded upon? o This comment will be revisited during discussion of mitigation measures. 4. Additional Vulnerability Assessment Data • Since the last committee meeting, hazard profiles have been commented on by each jurisdiction. • Wood has compiled and analyzed a GIS database of critical facilities as well as qualitative assessments of other resources. Hazardous Materials Overview: • There was a comment regarding the oil and gas platforms: Oil platforms are south of Point Conception and the littoral currents pull water south. The potential for oil spill affecting SLO County may be low. Revisit and confirm with NOAA if this may be applicable for the southwestern jurisdictions (i.e. Arroyo Grande). • Comment regarding hazardous materials incidents: the majority of responses are for clandestine drug labs and chemical dumps, in which chemicals are dumped on the side of road. This poses a threat to local areas. • Statistics from reported spills were not readily available at this meeting, but may be acquired through the County. 5. Hazards Significance Prioritization for Mitigation • There are detailed spreadsheets on the Google Drive of critical facilities, each jurisdiction, and an overlay with GIS. • Criteria have been established for ranking magnitude and severity of each hazard. • Feedback from jurisdictions was encouraged on the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Worksheet. • Highlighted sections in the Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment Summary indicate further discussion and feedback needed. • San Simeon and Cayucos are the only jurisdictions not represented at this meeting. • Comment regarding significance thresholds: Significance thresholds are unclear: What are the thresholds for low, medium, high? o Are significance thresholds just based on magnitude/severity? o Answer: Communities that may be impacted by hazards are ranked low because of low probability, but medium and high indicate higher probability and the need for mitigation measures. o Example provided: Tsunami in coastal communities ranked medium but the probability is low – why ranked medium? Answer: This hazard is ranked medium to encourage mitigation measures in applicable jurisdictions (i.e. mapping, evacuation routes, and tsunami inundation zones). 6. Capability Assessment Update Discussion (20 Min) • 2014 county-wide HMP looked at hazards, policy plan procedures, and capability for hazard mitigation. • Because we have added new hazards, we need to call out new capabilities and existing capabilities that apply/address these existing hazards. • The County has robust planning and mitigation capabilities, and we want to highlight these capabilities. • When the draft of the Hazard Mitigation Plan is released, each jurisdiction will review. • Some jurisdictions could have similar capabilities called out. • When FEMA and the state review these plans, they will look for ways to review and expand capabilities to ensure efficacy and applicable improvements. o For example, this may include enhancing the floodplain program, storm and tsunami readiness in the County. • Transfer of development credits program: existing in the County, is it being accurately used? • The County is in process of becoming tsunami ready. This is a work in progress, and requires overcoming problems with installing signage within Caltrans encroachments. • 3 communities are currently Firewise. 7. Mitigation Action Progress Summary and Discussion (15 Min) • Mitigation actions will be discussed more thoroughly at the 4/30 meeting. • Jurisdictions are encouraged to send feedback to Jillian and Jeff for discussion in the next meeting. • The Mitigation Action Progress Summary Table includes jurisdictions that have given feedback. o Some CSDs are brand new in the plan and do not have an established LHMP. • The goal of the Multi-jurisdictional HMP is to establish a realistic and attainable action plan for each community. o Through this process, some actions may be deemed more response oriented, and may be removed to focus on applicable mitigation. • Question: Some County mitigation measures are recurring and general without much substance. What are the recommendations to keep or remove? o Answer: Jeff recommends that these become ongoing capabilities. o For example, public education and tsunami awareness is noted as an ongoing capability as opposed to a specific action. • Question to Jack: how long do jurisdictions have to finalize updates to the HMP? o Answer: in the month of May, we will be diving into mitigation actions, and each jurisdiction will have time to develop them. May 20th is the current target to finalize input on the mitigation actions. • Input on existing mitigation actions gathered hopefully sooner than that. • The Draft for jurisdictions to review is on schedule to be wrapped up by June. • Input on the feedback mitigation action tracker is still required, which was sent by email. Jeff will follow up to discuss with individual jurisdictions (including progress table on mitigation actions from LHMPs). o There will be template for new mitigation actions and feedback will be welcomed. • Hazard risk summary worksheet (to be shared by email) is essentially a cheat sheet of each hazards and risks. • Suggested mitigation based on Wood review of the risks and hazards will be incorporated and reviewed by jurisdictions. • For specific questions on the action tracker, contact Jeff directly by email. • For update/new Local Hazard Mitigation Plans: jurisdiction should start compiling mitigation actions and future plans and projects to be incorporated into the plan. o Incorporating these projects will help with acquiring grant funding later with those projects. • For incorporating community wildfire protection plans (CWPP), jurisdictions don’t need to completely regurgitate but signify high priority actions. o For example, capital improvement plans may include bridge upgrades. o Offer an annex to the CWPP. o When it comes to funding, jurisdictions need to specific in application. 8. Recommended New Mitigation Actions • No new mitigation measures suggested at this time. 9. Questions and Answers/Adjourn From: Ji l l i an H.

Every five years, updates are made to our Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and for the first time, the plan will include all cities and jurisdictions throughout San Luis Obispo County. A small crowd gathered at the Ludwick Community Center Tuesday and officials say community input is crucial to the process. While fire is a hazard that hits close to home for many, the plan will look at a wide range of natural disasters, everything from tsunamis to agricultural pests. “The Thomas Fire, that really got me motivated as a citizen and I stormed our local fire department,” said Emily Miggins of Los Osos. Miggins volunteers with her local emergency services advisory committee. “Fire is my number one, I am very concerned. Obviously, drought is related, climate change is related,” said Miggins. The environmental scientist works closely with fire officials and feels like we could do a better job of getting the word out to citizens about updates to our Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. “Estimated 250,000 residents in SLO County overall and we’ve had so far 94 responses to Wood PLC, which is the consultant,” said Miggins. Obviously, the San Miguel Community Services District’s Fire Chief is keenly aware of our region’s wildfire threat. “We are a part of a master mutual aid plan where our resources will help out in other communities in the county and also what they can help provide us in the event of a disaster,” said Rob Roberson, Fire Chief, San Miguel Community Services District. Officials say these updates are about being proactive rather than reactive and fire and drought, earthquakes and evacuation are top of mind for the community. “Any type of disaster that would overwhelm our resources in the district is one of the big concerns. We’ve had earthquakes in the past like in ’03 and things could happen in the district that would really cripple us,” said Roberson. Community input is needed during this multi-jurisdictional effort to best identify the risks so we can develop a strategy to reduce those risks and lessen the hazardous impact. Officials are hoping to have a draft out for public review by mid-July.

The county is looking for input on a Hazard Mitigation Plan that is updated every ve years. They are looking for ways to save lives and property in the event of res, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other disasters. Natural disasters can bring great destruction and the Central Coast is no stranger to it. People in San Luis Obispo County say they’re worried especially in the wake of recent deadly wild res. “How do we get more people involved so that they are prepared and so that my neighbor doesn’t catch on re and then these mass tracts of public land catch on re,” said Emily Miggins, a Los Osos resident. San Luis Obispo County planners held a public meeting Tuesday looking for ways to decrease the impact of events like res or mudslides. The Planning and Building department is updating this plan so the county is better prepared if and when disaster strikes locally. “We are looking at hazard mitigation actions or projects that would be proposed and to mitigate those hazards to mitigate damages and loss of life,” said Scott Milner, the San Luis Obispo County Emergency Services Coordinator. People ranked the risks they felt would be more catastrophic within San Luis Obispo County including res, ear thquakes and sea level rise hazards. “To address sea level rise some of the projects might include seawalls and beach nourishment where you add sand to the beach,” said Milner. A member of the SLO County Farm Bureau brought up concerns for state and federal laws that might prevent farmers from reducing re and ood risk on their lands. 5/1/2019 San Luis Obispo County prepares for future natural disasters | KSBY.com https://ksby.com/news/local-news/2019/04/30/san-luis-obispo-county-prepares-for-future-natural-disasters 3/7 “[Farmers] are good stewards of the land they are just not allowed to take care of it to help mitigate some of these hazards,” said James Green, Government Affairs Specialist for the San Luis Obispo County Farm Bureau. For the rst time, the plan will include all jurisdictions in the county. After they gather suggestions from the public, county planners will create a draft plan update. We can expect to see that in July. Tuesday night’s meeting was the last public input meeting but community members can still submit comments here until May 7.

Repeated worst-case scenario analysis is necessary, and a willingness to think the unthinkable and then plan for it. We have some areas of very tight geography, such that evacuations will be difficult even in the best of circumstances. We have a high likelihood of fire, a tendency to drought and the potential for tapped-out wells, which would reduce firefighting capabilities. (We also cannot assume state water will be available in the future; it will depend on weather patterns and population patterns and policy decisions elsewhere.) We have local areas that high rain events could flood out quickly, blocking key roads for exit. We have steep slopes that can and do slip. We have the potential for residents to be displaced from the coasts due to rising sea levels, pushing more people to inland areas of the county, further taxing potential evacuation routes there in the event of a disaster, and possibly removing some coastal routes from evacuation maps. (Highway 1 already can’t be relied on north of Cambria, due to its ongoing longtime tendency to try to fall into the ocean.) Structure fires can occur and spread in the middle of flood events, debris flow events, and tsunami events. Tsunami impacts will change if sea levels rise, something else that should be modeled and planned for. Etc. Our conversations about development tend to overlook these issues, how interconnected they are, and how they can be exacerbated by rising population generally, and by particular population increases or shifts in specific areas of the county. 5/1/2019 6:51 PM 67 Earthquake related issues scare me the most.5/1/2019 5:31 PM 68 CERT training?5/1/2019 5:07 PM 69 Brush and dead tree removal on both private and public land.5/1/2019 4:30 PM 70 The unhoused population, foot and bicycle travelers, RV tourist parks, those living in vehicles, undocumented renters living in garages and such. 5/1/2019 3:24 PM 71 A robust wildfire fuel reduction program removing debris from all trees near homes and other structures at least once a year 5/1/2019 2:48 PM 72 Earthquakes are a large issue for us on the central coast because our evacuation choices are limited.

I am all for reacting to the problem but we also have to address what is causing the issues in the first place. Simply reacting to the hazards without addressing the cause is similar to pumping water out of a sinking boat without patching the hole.

Review the goals handout (attached), revise and provide edits (San Luis Obispo is off the hook). FIRM DUE DATE: MAY 3rd a. Are they still comprehensive? b. Do they need to be modified, consolidated or adjusted to meet current priorities? c. New jurisdictions – Can use the overall county goals, or develop their own. 2. Review the draft Hazard Priority Summary handout (attached). FIRM DUE DATE: MAY 3rd a. Please consider if the probability, magnitude/severity and significance reflect your individual communities accurately. b. This is important for each jurisdiction’s planning committee to review and confirm. c. Each jurisdiction will need mitigation actions for medium and high significance hazards identified in the HMP. d. Please send changes to Jeff Brislawn - jeff.brislawn@woodplc.com Please contact me with any questions. I am here to assist wherever I can. Thank you!

In addition, the Assets section of the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment has been included, which discusses the total inventory of buildings, populations, critical facilities, and natural, cultural and historic resources. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1E3oKhVTn69J5jIk4DLM3zqpoQXnPC7Qp? usp=sharing Please take some time to review the Hazardous Materials Hazard Assessment and please offer any comments or suggestions. Please also review the spreadsheets included within the google drive folder, which includes details on hazard risk for Critical Facilities and bridges. Thanks again to everyone for their hard work and collaboration. Just another reminder that both the Goals Update Revisions and Mitigation Action Status worksheet are approaching their deadlines. · Goals Update Revisions - Due date: April 17 Note: Discuss the handout amongst your local planning teams to determine if you want to modify or change existing jurisdictional-specific goals, or potentially adopt the county-level goals (also being reviewed). Provide mark up of handout to Jeff or bring to late April meeting for discussion. · Mitigation Action Tracker (Please find attached) Due date: April 19 Wood had compiled all of the mitigation actions identified within the County and municipal hazard mitigation plans (and CSDs where applicable). A requirement of hazard mitigation planning updates is that each jurisdiction needs to report on the status of these existing mitigation actions, and adjust priorities if needed. This worksheet is meant to facilitate that. 1. Each jurisdiction has a separate tab in the spreadsheet. Use the ‘2019 Status’ column picklist to identify one of the following for each action: In progress, Annual implementation, Deferred, Completed, or Deleted. ‘Deferred’ means the action will continue in the 2019 plan but has not yet been completed, but still worthwhile. 2. Use the ‘2019 Status Comments’ column to note successes, reasons for deletion or deferral, progress etc. 3. Please also review the ‘Priority’ column and make adjustments, if needed. If the action is to continue in the 2019 plan, please make sure any yellow highlighted areas are filled in where certain details may be missing. Please consider these guidelines when reviewing and updating your existing mitigation actions: Convene your local planning team to review the actions The number of actions should be focused so they are realistic and attainable in proportion to the jurisdiction’s abilities to implement them; in some cases less is more. The actions should address hazards that are at least medium or high significance for the jurisdiction The focus should be on long-term, sustainable mitigation activities as opposed to preparedness or response oriented actions. Some jurisdictions may wish to focus their actions on those that would be eligible for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grants. Consider removing these actions (by indicating ‘Deleted’): Actions that are not well defined Actions that are focused on continued compliance or maintenance related, with the exception of compliance with the NFIP. Actions where you might indicate ‘Annual implementation.’ These might be noted as an ongoing capability instead. Actions that are preparedness or response (note: you can leave in but FEMA will also require a true mitigation action for priority hazards) Completed actions will be captured in a separate table in the updated plan to show progress towards implementation. Please provide your edits to the spreadsheet to Jeff Brislawn jeff.brislawn@woodplc.com by April 19th. This will allow Jeff to do a quick summary in the HMPC meeting on April 25th, and it will prepare yourself to identify potential new mitigation actions, or improvements/adjustments to existing actions, in the meeting on April 30th. Some of you have already provided suggestions for new actions and these have been noted in the spreadsheet where applicable.

Our team discussed changing the work “handle” in Objective 4.1. Instead, this should be “defend against” or something that is more about protection. Also, I’m not clear what “average” and “projected” flood waters means. Could this objective be something like “Enhance the ability of community assets, particularly critical facilities, located in flood zones to defend against flood waters. Objective 4.1 - Enhance the ability of community assets, particularly critical facilities, located in the 100-year floodplain flood zones to handle existing average and projected flood waters.

Note: I was a lead for working on and working with contractors/consultants on all previous SLO County LHMPs in my role as then County OES Emergency Services Manager or Emergency Services Coordinator. In fact, the error related to San Simeon Earthquake wording – you will come across it below – looks like it might have been my mistake! Thank you for the opportunity to provide input on the draft LHMP. It looks great! It is obvious a lot of good, hard work went into it. But as with any complicated, detailed document with hundreds of pages, it is easy to miss a few things. I have some general comments I will list after the first two things I think are very important to add in and/or correct. The first relates to no mention at all of the recent three-year (2014-2017) drought emergency, including a three-year long Proclamation of Local Emergency (commonly referred to as declaration of emergency)by the County of San Luis Obispo, which was severe and involved many thousands of hours over the course of the three years . The second important item as I see it is correcting the wording related to San Simeon earthquake comments. After these two subject area comments, I have put general comments as they appear in order (for the most part) in the draft LHMP, and reference the page numbers for each. The 2014-2017 drought: There is no information about the local drought Proclamation of Emergency we had for three years, it is not in Table 5.3 at all – not even a mention of the drought for 2014-2017 (I see droughts from earlier years are shown) – nor is it referenced in the Risk Assessment drought section of the LHMP; there IS a mention of the Governor’s proclamation/declaration on page 5-152 as part of the SGMA info. It looks like page 5-155 could have our drought proclamation/declaration info added, as a natural flow on that page. As well as adding it to the historical chart in Table 5.3. Below is suggested wording, but hey I am just a humble citizen resident! :) “In addition to the Governor’s Proclamation, a County of San Luis Obispo local Proclamation of Emergency was in effect from March 11, 2014 to May 2, 2017 due to drought conditions and the related wide-ranging impacts. The Governor’s proclaimed State of Emergency due to the drought covered a similar period, from January 17, 2014 to April 7, 2017.” Moving on the second of most importance to me is the wording on 5-187 about the San Simeon Earthquake; it currently reads in the draft LHMP as: “The nearest affected city was Paso Robles, and as an interest side note, the issue of retrofitting unreinforced masonry buildings became apparently. Statistics indicate that, of 53 unreinforced masonry buildings in the city, none of the 9 retrofitted buildings experienced major damages.” That might just be wording left in from the last version, and was missed last time. None-the-less, perhaps a replacement to that paragraph might read: #4#4 COMPLETECOMPLETE Collector:Collector: Web Link 1 Web Link 1 (Web Link)(Web Link) Started:Started: Sunday, November 03, 2019 8:31:38 PMSunday, November 03, 2019 8:31:38 PM Last Modified:Last Modified: Sunday, November 03, 2019 8:43:45 PMSunday, November 03, 2019 8:43:45 PM Time Spent:Time Spent: 00:12:0600:12:06 IP Address:IP Address: 24.180.9.2824.180.9.28 Page 2: Affiliation Page 3: Comments “The nearest affected city was Paso Robles. Perhaps not surprisingly, the issue of retrofitting unreinforced masonry buildings began to receive more attention as a result of this damaging earthquake. It was also reported that of 53 unreinforced masonry buildings in the city, none of the 9 retrofitted buildings experienced major damages.” Moving on to more minor review comments and input: Page 3-12: Suggest changing “Paso School District” to “Paso Robles Joint Unified School District” Page 3-16: Suggest changing “Cal-OES” – in the first paragraph - to “Cal OES”, both to be consistent with other mentions in the LHMP (including lower down on the same page) and since that is the official short reference format. On page 4-19, Table 4-7 “Top 25 Employers – San Luis Obispo County”, seems confusing to me … as one example, relating to “San Luis Obispo County EMS”, if that is referencing the Public Health Department’s Emergency Medical Services division, I don’t believe they have 1,000 – 4,999 employees; that number is correct, however, for the entire number of employees for all of the County of San Luis Obispo local government. A similar comment relates to Table 4-7 as is carries over to page 4-20 – there is a listing for both “San Luis Obispo County Social” and, separately, for “Social Services Department”, both shown as Government Offices - County. Also for “Sheriff” is Sheriff an actual industry, as shown???? On page 4-21, Section 4.7 Transportation, a couple of things: on a minor note, Greyhound lines no longer serves San Luis Obispo County (the nearest Greyhound bus service stops are in Santa Maria to the south of our county and King City to the north). Orange Belt operates Amtrak bus service, but they are still here, I think just in that capacity; but they are still here . On a perhaps more important note, there has been a significant and notable increase in air service at the noted regional airport, with the County and local business groups significantly involved in such increased service, thus widespread publicity and interest; including the relatively recent completion of the new (November 2017) terminal at a cost of nearly $40,000,000. If I could be so bold to suggest, perhaps the below new wording might work – just a suggestion, of course; I could not do strikeout here, so this is just my suggested replacement wording, which begins after "... the Union Pacific Railroad"): 4.7 Transportation Systems The County contains major transportation arteries including U.S. Highway 101, California State Highways 1, 41, 46, 58, and 166, and the Union Pacific Railroad. No change to this sentence the below is a suggestion for the rest of this paragraph: Suggestion: The County operates the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport near the southern portion of San Luis Obispo. Commercial air service is offered by four airlines with direct flights to seven cities, with additional destinations planning to be added. In addition to air transportation, the county is also served with scheduled rail and bus service by Amtrak. Tour coach bus operators also serve the county, as do Regional Transit Authority and other local bus services. As a side note – not part of my suggested wording, but as an FYI - the four airlines are United, American, Alaska and Contour with direct, non-stop service to San Francisco, L.A.. Las Vegas, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas and Seattle. Non-stop service to start in 2020 includes Portland and San Diego … however, since the LHMP “life span” might outlast some of these specifics, perhaps just the above general reference might work – again, just my humble thoughts! :) In Section 4.4 on page 4.6, it is noted “The U.S. Census Bureau estimated San Luis Obispo County’s total population of 280,119 as of 2017.” That is repeated in closely following pages. However, in Table 4-8 on page 4-22 the 2018 population is noted as 279,967. Not a biggie, but FYI. And, similarly, near the bottom of page 5-27, a population of 283,405 is noted, and credits the U.S. Census Bureau, 2017. This repeats on page 5-28 (“The US Census Bureau estimated population of San Luis Obispo County for July 1, 2017 was 283,405, representing a 5.1% increase in population since 2010 (when it was estimated at 269,637). The top of page 5-6 reads: “San Luis Obispo is among the many communities in California that are susceptible to disaster.” Perhaps instead??: The communities throughout San Luis Obispo County are among the many in California that are susceptible to disaster. On Page 5-219, Brizzolara Creek is misspelled as Brizziolari Creek (in the City of San Luis Obispo paragraph). Photo credit note: Figure 5-69 on page 5-232 notes its source as “Arroyo Grande Creek Channel Waterway Management Program, Final Report, 2010” – which I am sure it is taken from for use here – however the actual photo credit should be noted as “San Luis Obispo County OES, taken during storm damage assessment, March 2001”. The background is that I (Ron Alsop) took that photo from a CHP helicopter (CHP H-70) during a countywide damage assessment by air that the CHP assisted us with doing.
