HomeMy WebLinkAbout2018-03-13; City Council; ; Adopt a Resolution approving update to the San Diego County MultiJurisdiction Hazard Mitigation PlanThe top five hazards identified for the region are:
• Structural fire/Wildfire
• Flood
• Earthquake
• Hazardous materials releases
• Other man-made disasters (including terrorism)
Climate scientists who advised on the plan explain that climate change will result in:
• Increased average temperatures
• Increased number of heat waves (raising the risk of wildfires)
• Changes in our rainfall pattern (fewer rainy days, but greater rainfall amounts when it
does rain, increasing the risk of urban an flash flooding)
In a separate action, to account for these and other changes, Carlsbad's Emergency
Preparedness Division has updated Carlsbad's Emergency Operations Plan, which will be
forwarded for Council review and approval in coming weeks.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact associated with this request.
Next Steps
Staff will inform San Diego County Office of Emergency Services once resolution to approve the
updates has been signed.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
The recommended action is not a project pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5). This section exempts from CEQA government
organizational or administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical
changes in the environment.
Public Notification
This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public
viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting date. In addition, during
the update process, in order to ensure that the public had the opportunity to comment on the

SECTIONFIVE GoalsJ Objectives and Actions
After revfowing the localized hazard maps and exposure/loss table above, the following hazards were
identified by the Carlsbad LPG as their top five. A brief rational for including each of these is included.
• Structural Fire/Wildfire: The potential of damage and losses to existing assets, includm:g people,
critical facilities/infrastructure, and public facilities can be sigrtlficant. The crmtinuing drought and
likely implications of climate change exacerbate the fire threat.
• Earth~uake: The potential for loss of life, injuries~ and damage to ptoperty, as well as disruption of
services, is significant.
• Hazardous Materials: One major freeway and one major railway pass through the community. The
community also hosts an airport. and several fixed facilities that utilize hazardous materials.
• Flooding: There are several areas of the community, which are near natural creek crossings and
channels, coastal areas as well as lagoons.
• Severe Weather: Heavy rains can cause erosion and trigger slope instability in habitat areas of
Carlsbad. damaged during the May 2014 .Poinsettia wildfire. Erosion and slope instability can
cause dl:lllage to infrastructure, systems and facilities. High· winds can also cause damage to
infrastructure, systems and facilities.

The City of Carlsbad local planning gJ."oup (LPG) for emergency planning is the Carlsbad Emergency
Management Administrative Team (CEMAT). The LPG identified· cunent capabilities availaJ:,le for
implementing hazard mitigation activities. The Capability , Assessment (Assessment) portion of the
jurisdictional mitigation plan identifies administrative, technical, legal and fiscal capabilities. This

5.3.4 Goals, Objectives and Actions
Listed below are Carlsbad's specific hazard mitigation goals, objectives and refateq. potential actions. For
each goal, one or more objectives have been identified that provide strategies to attain the goal. Where
appropriate, the City has identified a range of specific actions to achieve the objective mid goal.
The goals and objectives were developed by considering the'risk assessment :eyndirtgs, lo.calized hazard
identification and loss/exposure estimates, and an analysis of the jurisdiction's current capabilities
assessment. These preliminary goals, objectives and actions were developed to represent a vision of long-
te1.1n hazard reduction or enhancement of capabilities. To help in further development of these goals and
oQj,ectives, the LPG compiled and reviewed cum~nt jurisdictional sources including the City's plarm.mg
documents, codes, and ordinances. In addition, City representatives met with consultant staff and/or OES
to specifically discuss these hazard-related goB:ls, objectives and actions as they related to the overall Plan,
Represent~tives of numerous City departments involved in hazard mitigation planning, including Fire,
Police, and Public Works provided input to the Carlsbad LPG. The original Carlsbad LPG members were
Carlsbad Emergency Management Administrative Team(CEMAT) members: Mike Davis, David Harrison,
Neil Gallucci, Marc Reno, Joan Mabrouk, Maria Callander, Don Wasko, Joe Garuba, Val Brown,·Lori
Swenck, CJ-lynn Birdwell, Michele Masterson and Kurt Musser. Once developed, City staff presented them
to the· City of Carlsbad City Coqncil for their approval.
Public input was soUcited thmugh Cadsbad's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), National
University Emergency Management and Homeland Security students at the Carlsbad campus, and through
the City of Carlsbad's web page. ·. ·,

5.3~5 Prioritization and Implementation of Action Items
Once the comprehensive list of jurisdictional goals, objectives, and action items-listed above was developed,
the proposed mitigation actions were prioritized. This step resulted in a list of acceptable and realistic
actions that address the hazards identified in each jurisdiction. This prioritized •list of action items was
formed by the LPG weighing STAPLEE criteria -.
The Disaster Mitigation Action of 2000 (at 44 CFR Parts 201 and 206) requires the development of an
action plan that not only includes prioritized actions but one that includes information on how the prioritized
actions will be implemented. Implementation consists of identifying who is responsible .for which action,
what kind of funding mechanisms and other resources are available or will be pursued, and when the action
will be completed.
The prioritized actions below reflect progress in local mitigation efforts as well as changes in development.
The top IO prioritized mitigation actions as well as an implementation s1:rategy for each are: ·
