ABAG Multi jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Report Prepared by Roger Bradley, Administrative Analyst
Mitigation Strategies Worksheet
RECOMMENDATION: Direct Staff to participate in ABAG's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
and hold a community meeting to receive community input on the
City's mitigation strategy priorities.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION: It is inevitable that major natural disasters such as earthquake, fire
or flood will strike the Bay Area at some point in the future. Lives will be lost, property will be damaged,
and the economy will suffer. The Association of Bay Area Government (ABAG) is leading the effort to
coordinate Bay Area local governments to mitigate such losses by developing a multi jurisdictional Local
Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). Attachment 1 is the strategy spreadsheet developed by ABAG that is the
core of the LHMP.
Background
In 2005, ABAG took the lead in developing the LHMP for the Bay Area. The plan consisted of mitigation
strategies focusing on actions that would reduce damage from disasters. Strategies were geared to reduce
the loss of life and property damage, as well as speed recovery. Approval of a LHMP by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allows jurisdictions to be eligible for various mitigation grants
through FEMA, and results in the waiver of the 6.25 percent local match for public assistance dollars,
when the City seeks reimbursement as a result of a disaster. ABAG is again taking the lead to update the
plan as required by FEMA. Over 97 cities, counties, and special districts are participating in the 2009
update and Staff is recommending that the City participate in this update.
For the update, the list contains over 350 strategies and has been expanded to include climate change,
recovery planning, and mental health issues. In addition, the updated strategies include the regional
priorities for mitigation, which are noted by the shaded cells in the spread sheet (Attachment 1). The
updated strategies were developed by ABAG by consensus at a series of sub-regional workshops. The
final draft and the City of Dublin's responses are due to ABAG by September 30, 2009.
As a participant in the LHMP efforts, jurisdictions are required to provide two opportunities for the public
to comment on the strategy priorities. Tonight's meeting counts as one opportunity, and Staff is
recommending holding a community meeting on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. in the

Regional Meeting Room. Staff will place information about the meeting on the City's website as well as
place a notice in the paper. Comments fromthe public will be kept on file in the City Manager's Office.
Plan Structure
The goal of the LHMP is to maintain and enhance adisaster-resistant region by reducing the potential loss
of life, property damage and environmental degradation from natural disasters, while accelerating
economic recovery from those disasters. The LHMP identifies major hazards that affect the Bay Area.
These include hazards related to earthquakes (surface faulting, ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides
and tsunamis) and weather (flooding, landslides, wildfires, and drought). The Plan is organized into eight
commitment areas, which are related to the services supplied, either directly or indirectly, by local
governments. These commitment areas are:
L INFR (Infrastructure) includes strategies that apply to lifeline transportation and utilities facilities
and services.
2. HEAL (Health) is generally for hospitals. Some strategies apply to county Offices of Health, and
others to cities.
3. HODS (Housing) Most of these strategies apply to the City. "Housing" covers residential buildings.
4. ECON (Economy). Most of these strategies apply to the City. "Economy" covers commercial and
industrial buildings.
5. GOVT (Government) covers the buildings owned and used for government services other than
transportation, water supply, and sewer functions (covered in INFR).
6. EDUC (Education) is for school districts and county Offices of Education.
7. ENVI (Environment) includes strategies related to environmental sustainability and climate
change.
8. LAND (Land Use) covers strategies that address land (often development policies) versus
buildings. Thus, requirements for geologic investigations, zoning, development design considerations, smart
growth, and hazard abatement districts are included in this category.
The spreadsheet also includes a column showing the types of hazards which the strategy is meant to
address:
EQ =Earthquake DR = Drought
LS - Landslide Flu = Pandemic Flu
WF =Wildfire Heat =Heat
FL - Flood Ag = Agricultural Emergency
TS = Tsunami SEC =Security
Current Efforts
As part of the City of Dublin's participation to date, Staff prepared a Critical Facilities List, which
provides basic information regarding the building type and condition of City-owned facilities, including
civic buildings, fire stations, community centers, etc. The regional strategies are the next step in the
preparation of the LHMP. City staff reviewed the 350+ strategies and ranked each strategy in terms of
local priority. Staff identified a significant number of the strategies as existing programs that are
Page 2 of 3
consistent with, or exceed, the regional priority. Many of the priorities were identified as "not applicable"
because the Responsible Agency was not the City. Other strategies were identified as "moderate" because
the City lacks the funds or staff to implement the program. The completed strategies are included
(Attachment 1) for comment.
The LHMP priorities (noted by a shaded cell in the spreadsheet) reflect the vision of the region as a whole.
Individual jurisdictions may have different priorities depending upon the nature of each district or local
government. The City of Dublin used the following criteria to evaluate each mitigation strategy:
• Existing program - no additional funding needed.
• Existing program -under funded.
Very high priority - an existing unofficial program made official by the adoption of this plan. No
additional funding is needed.
• High priority - to be adopted by the local government when funding and resources allow, funding
currently being sought.
• Moderate priority - to be adopted by the local government when funding and resources allow, no
funding being sought at the present.
• Under study -currently under study, not just to be studied in the future
• Not applicable, not appropriate, or not cost effective.
• Not yet considered.
Final Steps
ABAG must submit the LHMP to FEMA no later than October 22, 2009. Upon FEMA approval of the
entire LHMP, the City Council will need to adopt/approve the plan within 12 months.
Outreach
If directed to hold the community meeting, Staff will place a notice within the local newspaper as well as
place a notice about the meeting on the City's website.
RECOMMENDATION: Direct Staff to participate in ABAG's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
and hold a community meeting to receive community input on the City's mitigation strategy priorities.

g-17 g-18 Ensure that citylcounty-initiated fire-preventive WF LS
vegetation-management techniques and practices
for creek sides and high-slope areas do not
contribute to the landslide and erosion hazard. For
example, vegetation in these sensitive areas
could be thinned, rather than removed, or
replanted with less flammable materials. When
thinning, the non-native species should be
removed first. Other options would be to use
structural mitigation, rather than vegetation
management in the most sensitive areas.
g-18 g-19 Create a mechanism to require the bracing of water EQ WF
heaters and flexible couplings on gas appliances,
and/or (as specified under "b. Single-family homes
vulnerable to earthquakes" above) the bolting of

i-1 i-1 Institute a program to encourage owners of
private builldings to participate in a program
similar to San Francisco's Building Occupancy
Resumption Program (BORP). This program
permits owners of private buildings to hire qualified
structural engineers to create building-specific post-
disasterinspection plans and allows these
engineers to become automatically deputized as
City/County inspectors for these buildings in the
event of an earth uake or other disaster.
i-2 i-2 Actively notify private owners of historic or
architecturally significant buildings of the availability
of the local BORP-type program and encourage
them to participate to ensure that appropriately
qualified structural engineers are inspecting their
buildings, thus reducing the likelihood that the
buildings will be inappropriately evaluated following
a disaster.

buildings of the availability of the local BORP-type
program and encourage them to participate to
ensure that appropriately qualified structural
engineers are inspecting their buildings, thus
reducing the likelihood that the buildings will be

i-4 i-4 Allow private building owners to participate in a
BORP-type program as described above, but not
actively encourage them to do so.

requirement that site-specific geologic reports be
prepared for development proposals within Alquist-
Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones, and restrict the
placement of structures for human occupancy. (This
Act is intended to deal with the specific hazard of
active faults that extend to the earth's surface,
creating a surface rupture hazard.)

geotechnical reports for development and
redevelopment proposals in areas subject to
earthquake-induced landslides or liquefaction as
mandated by the State Seismic Hazard Mapping Act
in selected portions of the Bay Area where these
maps have been completed, and condition project
approval on the incorporation of necessary
mitigation measures related to site remediation,
structure and foundation design, and/or avoidance.
a-3 a-3 Recognizing that some faults may be a hazard for EQ
surface rupture, even though they do not meet the
strict criteria imposed by the Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Act, identify and require
geologic reports in areas adjacent to locally-
si nificant faults.
a-4 new Ensure that development proposed near faults EQ
with a history of complex surface rupture
' (multiple traces, warping, thrusting, etc.) has
larger setbacks than the minimum fifty feet.

Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act for
structures without human occupancy if these
buildings are still essential for the economic
recovery of the community or region.
a-6 a-4 Recognizing that the California Geological Survey EQ
has not completed earthquake-induced landslide
and liquefaction mapping for much of the Bay Area,
identify and require geologic reports in areas
mapped by others as having significant liquefaction
or landslide hazards.
