HomeMy WebLinkAbout01-05-2016 Item 13 - 2014 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Action Update
Meeting Date: 1/5/2016
FROM: Garret Olson, Fire Chief
Prepared By: Julie Cox, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION ACTION UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and File the 2014 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Action Update.
DISCUSSION
Background
The 2014 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is an update to the City of San Luis Obispo’s
2006 LHMP. The LHMP analyzes the community's risk from natural hazards, coordinates
available resources, and implements actions to reduce or eliminate risks. The LHMP is prepared
before a disaster to guide risk reduction activities before an event. The LHMP is a five year plan,
reviewed and amended annually, so as to include opportunities for vulnerability reduction. This
is the first annual report for the LHMP adopted by the City Council on March 18, 2014 and
approved by FEMA on October 7, 2014. The five-year plan period begins with approval of the
plan by FEMA.
The Hazard Mitigation Team (HMT) discussed the extent to which goals, objectives, and actions
from the 2006 LHMP were implemented and whether the mitigation strategies should be revised
or continued in the 2014 LHMP. The HMT agreed to consolidate the 2006 goals from eight goals
(including hazard specific goals) to two comprehensive goals.
In establishing the 2014 LHMP Mitigation Actions, the HMT reviewed the list of mitigation
actions from the 2006 plan. Following this review, the HMT consolidated several mitigation
actions, removed a few that have become irrelevant, and identified several new actions. The
actions have been categorized as either supporting hazard mitigation efforts or disaster
preparedness efforts. While both are important to public safety in preparing for and responding
to natural disasters, the primary focus of the LHMP is to identif y actions that will minimize
threats to public health, safety, and welfare.
It is timely to note, the 2006 and 2014 LHMPs identified storm and flood related events as a risk
to San Luis Obispo. During this reporting period, storm and flood related LHMP actions include
increased staff training on the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) operations; increased community outreach regarding storm and flood
preparation; focused assessment of Corporation Yard operations during heavy storms; tree
maintenance and/or removal in the creeks; and five silt removal projects.

Packet Pg. 162
On October 5, 2015 the City HMT convened for the first annual meeting of the 2014 LHMP to
review and discuss mitigation progress and any new concerns that may benefit from mitigation
activities. At the annual meeting, each goal and objective was reviewed to evaluate its: relevance
to the evolving situation in the City of San Luis Obispo, and consistency with changes in State
and Federal policy and relevance to current and expected conditions. In addition, the Risk
Assessment portion of the plan was reviewed and updates were provided on the various
implementation actions.
Public comment received will be documented and stored with the plan for use in the five-year
update.
FISCAL IMPACT
None at this time, the action items in the LHMP would be funded through various City
Departments budget requests.
ALTERNATIVES
Council can direct staff to revise 2014 LHMP Action Update.

2014 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Mitigation goals are guidelines that explain what a community wants to achieve in terms
of hazard and loss prevention. Goal statements are typically long-range, policy-oriented
statements representing community-wide visions. Objectives are statements that detail
how to achieve a community’s goals. Typically, objectives define strategies, or
implementation steps, to attain identified goals. Below are the goals and objectives
established for the 2014 LHMP.
Hazard Mitigation Team will annually review each goal and objective to evaluate its:
Relevance to the evolving situation in the City of San Luis Obispo
Consistency with changes in State and Federal policy
Relevance to current and expected conditions
Goal 1. Cultivate a disaster -resistant community through
implementation of risk reduction measures and increased public
awareness to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural and
human -caused hazard even ts.
Objective 1.A Ensure that local plans, policies, and programs are consistent with the
hazard information identified in the LHMP.
Objective 1.B. Increase City employee capacity through SIMS and NIMS compliant
training and EOC drills to identify hazards, and assist in emergency preparedness,
response, and recovery.
Objective 1.C Pursue available grant funding to implement hazard mitigation efforts.
Objective 1.D Maintain critical and essential key assets to increase resiliency and
minimize future damage from hazard events.
Objective 1.E Increase public awareness of hazards, emergency response, and
recovery.
Objective 1.F Promote public/private partnerships to increase community resiliency.
Goal 2. Reduce the severity of damage and losses due to natural a nd
human -caused hazards.
Objective 2.A Protect and enhance as practical existing assets, as well as any future
development, from the effects of natural and human-caused hazards.
