Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(2026) viii 2016-209 Section . Introduction The LHMP update is a "living document"that should be reviewed, monitored,and updated to reflect changing conditions and new information.As required,the LHMP must be updated every five (5)years to remain in compliance with regulations and Federal mitigation grant conditions. In that spirit,this Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is an update of the City of San Bernardino LHMP approved by FEMA on April 29,2005.This LHMP presents updated information regarding hazards faced by the City of San Bernardino. The Plan also presents mitigation measures taken to help reduce consequences from hazards, and outreach/education efforts within the City's incorporated area since 2005. City of San Bernardino The incorporated Area of City of San Bernardino has a population of 213,295 (2012 census estimate) persons and covers 59.6 square miles.There are 65,401 housing units in the City with an average of 3.35 persons per household. Median household income in 2011 was$40,161. Median value of owner occupied housing units(51.7%) is$202,400. Percent of population below the poverty level in 2011 was 28.6%.The City of San Bernardino is the County Seat for the County of San Bernardino. Services provided by the City of San Bernardino to the residents and citizens of the area include Law Enforcement, Fire Protection, Building and Safety Services, Library, Parks and Recreation, and Human Services (social services). Two Interstate Highways and three inter-continental railroad lines cross the City, providing vital transportation links from southern California to the remainder of the United States.

Purpose of the Plan The intent of hazard mitigation is to reduce and/or eliminate loss of life and property. Hazard mitigation is defined by FEMA as"any action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from natural hazards." FEMA defines a "hazard" as"any event or condition with the potential to cause fatalities, injuries,property damage, infrastructure damage, agricultural loss, environmental damage, business interruption, or other loss." The purpose of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is to demonstrate the plan for reducing and/or eliminating risk in the City of San Bernardino.The LHMP process encourages communities to develop goals and projects that will reduce risk and build a more disaster resilient community by analyzing potential hazards. By cooperatively and jointly together as a Local Planning team,the partners were able to develop common goals and objectives for mitigation efforts. The individual stakeholders can then take the goals and objectives back to their individual Special Districts for discussion, ranking and project development, and then bring the resulting projects back to the Local Planning Team. The Local Planning Team can then integrate all projects into the appropriate project listing to be acted upon by the most appropriate special District for the listed project. After disasters,repairs and reconstruction are often completed in such a way as to simply restore to pre- disaster conditions.Such efforts expedite a return to normalcy; however,the restoring of things to pre- disaster conditions sometimes result in feeding the disaster cycle;damage,reconstruction,and repeated damage. Mitigation is one of the primary phases of emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage.Hazard mitigation is distinguished from other disaster management functions by measures that make City development and the natural environment safer and more disaster resilient. Mitigation generally involves alteration of physical environments,significantly reducing risks and vulnerability to hazards by altering the built environment so that life and property losses can be avoided or reduced. Mitigation also makes it easier and less expensive to respond to and recover from disasters. Also with an approved (and adopted) LHMP,the City and its Special Districts are eligible for federal disaster mitigation funds/grants(Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Pre-Disaster Mitigation,and Flood Management Assistance) aimed to reduce and/or eliminate risk. 1. . Authority In 2000,FEMA adopted revisions to the Code of Federal Regulations.This revision is known as"Disaster Mitigation Act(DMA)." DMA 2000,Section 322(a-d)requires that local governments,as a condition of receiving federal disaster mitigation funds,have a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan(LHMP)that describes the process for assessing hazards,risks and vulnerabilities,identifying and prioritizing mitigation actions,and engaging/soliciting input from the community(public),key stakeholders,and adjacent jurisdictions/agencies. Hazard%litigation Plan Update(2016) 2016-209 City of San Bernardino 1. . Community Profile Physical Set in The City is bounded by the City of Highland on the east,the San Manuel Indian Reservation and the San Bernardino National Forest on the north,the Cities of Rialto and Fontana on the west,and the cities of Redlands, Loma Linda,and Colton on the south. The City of San Bernardino covers 59.7 square miles and is geographically the fourth largest city in the County of San Bernardino. The City lies in the San Bernardino foothills and the eastern portion of the San Bernardino Valley, roughly 60 miles(97 km)east of Los Angeles. Some major geographical features of the City include the San Bernardino Mountains,the San Bernardino National Forest, in which the city's northernmost neighborhood,Arrowhead Springs, is located, and the Cajon Pass adjacent to the northwest border. City Creek, Lytle Creek,San Timoteo Creek,Twin Creek,Warm Creek(as modified through flood control channels)feed the Santa Ana River,which forms part of the city's southern border south of San Bernardino International Airport. San Bernardino is unique among Southern Californian cities because of its wealth of water,which is mostly contained in underground aquifers.A large part of the city is over the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin, including downtown.This fact accounts for a historically high water table in portions of the city, including at the former Urbita Springs, a lake that no longer exists and is now the site of the Inland Center Mall. Seccombe Lake, named after a former mayor, is a manmade lake at Sierra Way and 5th Street.The San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District("Muni") has plans to build two more large, multi-acre lakes north and south of historic downtown in order to reduce groundwater, mitigate the risks of liquefaction in a future earthquake, and sell the valuable water to neighboring agencies.[citation needed] The City has several notable hills and mountains; among them are: Perris Hill (named after Fred Perris, an early engineer,and the namesake of Perris, California); Kendall Hill (which is near California State University); and Little Mountain,which rises among Shandin Hills (generally bounded by Sierra Way, 30th Street, Kendall Drive,and Interstate 215). Freeways act as significant geographical dividers for the city of San Bernardino. Interstate 215 is the major east-west divider,while State Route 210 is the major north-south divider. Interstate 10 is in the southern part of the city. Other major highways include State Route 206(Kendall Drive and E Street); State Route 66(which includes the former U.S. 66); State Route 18 (from State Route 210 north on Waterman Avenue to the northern City limits into the mountain communities), and State Route 259,the freeway connector between State Route 210 and 1-215.The Santa Ana River originates in the San Bernardino Mountains and flows southwest to the ocean.The Santa Ana Watershed includes streams flowing south from the San Gabriel Mountains and streams flowing north and west from the San Jacinto Mountains in Riverside County. Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(2 16) 3 2016-209 City of Sari Bernardino The neighborhoods of San Bernardino are not commonly named.Some reflect geographical regions that existed before annexation,and others originated with specific housing developments. Arrowhead Springs extends from the historic Arrowhead Springs Hotel and Spa in the north to 1-210 in the south and from Shandin Hills in the west to east Twin Creek in the east. Del Rosa is the area generally between the foothills and Highland, Mountain and Arden Avenues. Delmann Heights is the area north of Highland Avenue,west of 1-215,and east of the unincorporated area of Muscoy,California (which is within the city's sphere of influence for annexation as well as Devore).Some portions of Highland are within the city of San Bernardino,generally consistent with the portions of historical"West Highlands" north of Highland Avenue.The city also contains the post office for Patton,California,the area coextensive with Patton Hospital. Mountain Shadows is the development name for the area between Palm Avenue and Highland Avenue to State Route 330.The"West Side" is used generically to refer to the areas West of 1-215. North Loma Linda is the area west of Mountain View Acres(the border with Redlands),south of the Santa Ana River, north of the San Bernardino Freeway(1-10),and east of Tippecanoe Avenue.The area north of Northpark Boulevard from University Parkway to Electric Avenue,and the area north of 40th Street from Electric Avenue to Harrison Street is called Newberry Farms.The area west of University Parkway and north of Kendall Drive to the north city area is called Verdemont.The"Bench"or"Rialto Bench" refers to the area with Rialto mailing addresses between Foothill Boulevard and Base Line Street. San Bernardino is divided into several districts. Many hotels, restaurants,and retail establishments have been built around Hospitality Lane in the southern part of the city,creating an informal business district. Downtown is its own district with shopping and government buildings. In the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains lies the University District,which is a commercial area designed to support the California State University with shopping,dining,and high-density residential space. On the southern side of 1-215 and the University District is the Cajon Pass light-industrial district where warehouses are situated to take advantage of this important connection between Southern California and the rest of the United States.On the opposite side of the city is the San Bernardino International Gateway,which encompasses the San Bernardino International Airport(SBD)and the Alliance California Logistics campus(air cargo hub). Nearby is the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail hub.The combination of these assets(airport; rail hub; extensive freeway system;and,Cajon Pass) makes the city important in the movement of goods and people between Southern California and the rest of the United States. The City of San Bernardino is in the process of developing an historic district around the 1918 Santa Fe Depot,which recently underwent a$15.6 million restoration.When completed,this area will connect to the downtown district with period streetlights and street furniture, historic homes and other structures,a new museum,coffee bars and,a Mercado(market)with an architectural style in keeping with the Mission Revival station. Hazard' Kilitigation Plan Update(2016) 4 2016-209 City of Stirs Bernardino City of San Bernardino Surface Aehef.. y a f we -r ER4dx a Figure 2.Topographic Features in City of San Bernardino History Paleo-Indian sites dating from c. 10,000 BC show that the City of San Bernardino area inhabited for at least 12,000 years.Artifacts in the nearby Calico area suggest much earlier human occupation, but this has not been confirmed. In the past three thousand years,various Indian tribes flourished in the area: the Gabrielenos occupied the West Valley;the Serranos lived in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains;the Vanyumes lived along the Mojave River;the Mohave lived along the Colorado River; and the Chemehuevi occupied the Mojave Desert. The first European explorers to enter the area were Pedro Fages, Military Commander of California, in 1772 and Fr. Francisco Garces,a missionary priest, in 1774. On May 20, 1810, Franciscan missionary Francisco Dumatz,of the San Gabriel Mission, led his company into a valley. In observance of the feast day of St. Bernardine of Siena, Dumatz named the valley San Bernardino.This name was later given to the nearby mountain range,and later the city and county. In 1842,the Lugo family was granted the Rancho San Bernardino, a holding of 37,700 acres encompassing the entire San Bernardino Valley. Captain Jefferson Hunt,of the Mormon Battalion, led a group of settlers into San Bernardino and founded a Mormon Colony. In 1851,the Mormon Colony purchased the Rancho from the Lugo family. In 1850, California was admitted into the United States. On April 26, 1853, City of San Bernardino was created from parts of Los Angeles, San Diego, and Mariposa Counties. In 1854,the City of San Bernardino was incorporated as the county seat. Hazard F,iliti ation ['hang Update(2016) 5 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino In 1857,three orange trees were set out on a farm in Old San Bernardino. By 1882, a rail car load of oranges and lemons grown in the East Valley was shipped to Denver, Colorado.As early as the 1840s, vineyards were planted in the Cucamonga area and in the 1870 census; City of San Bernardino was credited with producing 48,720 gallons of wine. In 1860,gold was discovered in Holcomb and Bear Valleys in the San Bernardino Mountains,and placer mining began in Lytle Creek. Silver was being mined at Ivanpah in 1870,and the rich silver mines of the Calico district were developed in the 1880s. Borax was first discovered in 1761 at Searles Dry Lake near Trona, and transported out by twelve-,eighteen-or twenty-mule team wagons. All these mining operations received supplies,support from City businesses,and used the City as a shipping point for their products. Except for a brief period after World War I when silver prices were high, low metal prices and inflation put a damper on mining in the 1920s. However,with the Great Depression of the 1930's and an increase in the price of gold by nearly$15 an ounce, many small operators reactivated old mines.The region around Barstow,Vanderbilt,Stedman,and Dale were the principal centers of mining activity until World War 11. During World War 11,iron was extracted from the Vulcan Mine in the Providence Mountains,and the Bagdad Chase Mine remained active.Since the war,there has been sporadic mining of gold,silver,and tungsten in the county.A major new mine opened during the 1950s,the Mountain Pass rare earth mine. Recently, exploration has outlined potential large tonnage molybdenum properties in the New York and Ord Mountains,copper in the Cooper Basin area of the Whipple Mountains and gold in the Clark Mountains. After World War 11,the citrus industry slowly declined. However,dairies relocating out of Los Angeles County settled in the Chino Valley area,creating a robust dairy industry that included the City of San Bernardino. Elsewhere in the Valley region,suburbs grew as moderate priced housing developments were built. By the late 1980's,the city had grown into a bedroom community and warehousing center for southern California. 'Climate San Bernardino features a somewhat cooler version of a Mediterranean climate with cool to chilly winters(frost is common during this time of the year)and hot, dry summers. Relative to other areas in Southern California,winters are colder,with frost and with chilly to cold morning temperatures common.The particularly arid climate during the summer prevents tropospheric clouds from forming, meaning temperatures rise to what is considered by NOAA scientists as Class Orange. Summer is also a lot warmer with the highest recorded summer temperature at 117°F(47.2 °C) in 1971. In the winter, snow flurries occur upon occasion. San Bernardino gets an average of 16 inches(406 mm)of rain, hail, or light snow showers each year.Arrowhead Springs,San Bernardino's northernmost neighborhood, gets snow, heavily at times due to its elevation of about 3,000 feet(910 m) above sea level.

Preparing for the Plan Local Hazard Mitigation Planning is a process State,Tribal, and local governments use to identify risks and vulnerabilities associated with natural disasters, and to develop long-term strategies for protecting people and property from future hazard events. Planning creates a way to solicit and consider input from diverse interests. Involving stakeholders is essential to building community-wide support for the plan. In addition to emergency managers,the planning process involves other government agencies(e.g.,zoning,floodplain management, public works, community,and economic development), businesses,civic groups,environmental groups,and schools. To assist with the updating of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan(LHMP), a Local Planning Team (Planning Team)was established.The Planning Team was the lynchpin for all activities to update the LHMP.The Planning Team defines and identifies the strategies,goals, activities,and development of the LHMP.The Planning Team represents a comprehensive team of subject matter experts from a range of areas affected by the plan or could provide great benefit to the team. Members of the Planning Team are from City of San Bernardino Departments,with technical assistance provided by the San Bernardino County Fire Department Office of Emergency Services. The Local Planning Team members worked together to jointly determine and rank the risks facing the six participating agencies, develop goals and objectives to mitigate the risks, and identify which of the Departments would be most appropriate for leading any particular project area identified by the Local Planning Team. The individual Planning Team members then returned to their respective Departments where discussions occurred, input sought,and potential projects developed and ranked for each of the Planning Team identified risks and projects relevant to the Department. The Planning Team members then returned to the Local Planning Team and provided the Planning Team with their vetted, prioritized list of potential projects and budgets to include in the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. These projects and budgets were integrated into the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Upon approval, each Department would then be able to apply for grant funding for their prioritized projects without interference from another participating jurisdiction as funding became available. The Planning Team was led by a representative from the City of San Bernardino Police Department.This representative took on the responsibilities of a Project Manager and facilitated and coordinated activates.This effort included proving technical support, establishing a platform to encourage the exchange of ideas, and help coordination among Departments.The Project Manager was responsible for attending meetings and incorporating the material into their planning process. One of the resource materials provided through the San Bernardino County Fire Department/Office of Emergency Services was a suggested Table of Contents(TOC).The purpose of the TOC was to ensure all aspect of the LHMP requirements were being met and could be found in the appropriate sections in the updated LHMP. Hazlmi Mkigation Plan Update(20161 14 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino The Planning Team reviewed this sample TOC and incorporated elements into the City's LHMP update efforts. Using the TOC,the Planning Team decided to conduct a section by section; page by page review of the 2005 LHMP. A proposed project timeline was developed To assist with this effort.The proposed Project Timeline illustrates the windows when each section of the 2005 LHMP will be reviewed and the section revised. Based on the TOC,the Planning Team divided the update process into seven (7) phases; one for each section of the TOC.This approach allowed for a very focused review of the material and provided an organized method to introduce new or updated material.The Project Manager led the discussion, solicited comments,took notes, and incorporated results in the LHMP.Additionally,the Project Manager collected and summarized material provide by Planning Team members. During the Planning Team meetings,some members were assigned tasks or action items,which were to be completed prior to the next meeting. Staff assigned to the LHMP Update reviewed the 2005 LHMP and provided comments referencing updated information such as current population statistics, new HAZUS-MH MR3 analysis of floods and earthquakes, and provide suggestions for updating the LHMP.The Planning Team then reviewed the update information and validated/identified Goals, Objectives,and Projects.This step included discussion of how the projects would be prioritized. o ,� Prioritization voly coA "p e ` crtterial ffs While there is not a standard process followed by each of City of San Bernardino Departments they all considered social,technological, administrative, political, legal, economic,and environmental factors. The City department representatives participated on the Planning Team then took the risks,goals, objectives and projects back to their respective departments for discussion and vetting. After vetting, the individual Planning Team members returned to the Planning Team where the individual materials were combined into a single Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. This effort resulted in goals,objectives and projects for all participants being listed under the appropriate hazard sections and not by individual participants. This reflects the overall City philosophy of allowing the department with the most expertise to suggest and/or manage a project that may affect another department who does not have expertise in the hazard. Planning Tea The Planning Team is comprised of representatives from each of the City of San Bernardino Departments,who specialize in mitigation type activities/planning.The Planning Team members represented select aspects of the community and thought of as liaisons to the greater community. Each Planning Team member was responsible for communicating the direction and status of the planning effort to their outside members and in return,they are expected to bring to the team outside perspectives. Additionally,the individual Planning Team members acted as liaisons for their respective Haz.brd Mitigation i'1 m Update(2016) 1 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Departments and were responsible for ensuring that the Department provided appropriate input from their respective internal planning processes. Potential projects/budget meetings were held where potential projects were developed and prioritized along with budget development for the individual participating Departments. Additional prioritization after budgets were developed to ensure proper Benefit Cost Analysis(BCA)techniques were applied. Representation was present on the Local Planning Team from various City Departments. Planning Team included representatives from all the participating City of San Bernardino Departments: City Manager's Office IN Public Works Dept./Solid Waste Allen J.

Coordination wit t r External Jurisdictions, Agencies, and Organizations Internal r t r Because of the size and geographical location of the city area,there are many jurisdictions,agencies, and organizations that are affected by or have influence on the City.As part of the planning process,the Planning Team, and particularly the Project Manager,took great efforts to engage and include as many members as possible. These members were drawn from City of San Bernardino Departments. One of the first efforts that were made was when the Planning Team was being established.The Planning Team members gave special considerations as to what they thought needed to be in the LHMP and attempted to identify a person who could representative that area.This consideration went beyond the City departments. As mentioned above, in addition to being required to participate in the Planning Team meetings,the Planning Team members were also required to liaison with other groups including their own departments Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(201 ii 17 2016-209 City of San Bernardino planning and project staff and with cooperating agencies to provide updates on the project and to bring to the team the different perspectives and comments.The Planning Team conducted a very extensive outreach effort.This was done mostly through leveraging of existing meetings and efforts. In this liaison role,the Planning Team members coordinated with Cal Fire;the United States Forest Service-San Bernardino National Forest,and the neighboring cities and towns.This allowed the Planning Team to capture a larger perspective;while keeping the Planning Team at a manageable level. The information was then brought back to the Local Planning Team by the individual Planning Team members. At these meeting, potential cooperative projects were discussed,categorized,and prioritized for inclusion in the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Those asked to participate in the HMP development process for the City of San Bernardino were: David Daniely Administrative Analyst City of Highland,CA Fay Glass Emergency Operations Manager City of Redlands,CA Debra Kreske Emergency Services Coordinator City of Loma Linda,CA Debra Kreske Emergency Services Coordinator City of Colton,CA Frank Bekkar Battalion Chief City of Rialto,CA Miles Wagner Emergency Services Officer County of San Bernardino Three of those invited to participate in the HMP planning process provided input and/or review of the City of San Bernardino Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. They were Fay Glass, Debra Kreske,and Miles Wagner. The other did not respond to the invitation or declined to participate due to workload and conflicting priorities. Hazard iltlitigation Flan Update (2.016) 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino Exterti,al Coordination . . Public Involvement/Outreach Public involvement was solicited throughout the process.Since the 2005 LHMP approval,the City took several steps to educate the public on the hazards facing the City and had several public forums where mitigation projects were discussed and identified.At all events, public opinion and comments are solicited. The Planning Team also considered the possibility of including public members on the Planning Team. However, because of the size of the City and the volume of possibilities, it was determined that having the Planning Team members liaison with the public would better serve and capture the public interest. During this process,the City also used several platforms to reach out and inform the public of the LHMP update. Wherever possible, a joint effort was made by the Planning Team members to include discussion for each Department's hazards,goals,and objectives. These joint meetings resulted in joint leverage of the planning effort and a resulting joint benefit of goals/objectives, and project development for the LHMP development. Public Involvement consisted of meetings for City Departments that gave the public the direct opportunity to comment on the City LHMP, meetings of City Department advisory committees where hazard specific information and possible projects were discussed, updates on the City website, press releases regarding the LHMP, and public hearing regarding the LHMP.All participants collectively supported the following public outreach meetings. Below is a summary list of the public outreach: blic Mleetings IS Parks and Recreation Commission 201 N. E St,San Bernardino,CA April 17,2014 1:00 P.M. This was a Monthly meeting of the Commission.

Only after the public has an opportunity to review and comment on the Plan will the City Council take action on the City Council Agenda items. . . Assess the Hazard As discussed,the planning process was organized around the Table of Content(TOC). One of the main sections in the TOC is Risk Assessment.The Risk Assessment section include four(4) basic step; 1) hazard identification and screening; 2) hazard profiling; 3) hazard exposure; and,4) hazard vulnerability.The Project Manager,working with the Planning Team,facilitated discussions around these steps. The first step in this process was to identify all of the natural hazards present in the community.The Planning Team started with the 2005 LHMP and augmented as necessary.This augmentation considered both adding and removing of hazards to develop a list of potential natural hazards in the community. The Planning Team utilized several sources to ensure they were considering all potential hazards.A summary of the list of material reviewed is:the 2005 City of San Bernardino Operational Area LHMP,the State of California LHMP, FEMA"How-to Guides," and several surround community LHMPs.After the list of potential hazards in the community is generated,the hazards were screened. The intent of screening of hazards is to help prioritize which hazard creates the greatest concern in the community. Because the 2005 LHMP process used to rank hazards(Critical Priority Risk Index(CPRI) software) is not being utilized again, an alternative approach was implemented. The Planning Team agreed to utilize a non-numerical ranking system for the LHMP update process.This process consists of generating a qualitative ranking(High, Medium,or Low) rating for: 1) probability; and, 2) impact from each hazard.To further assist with the process,the following definition of"High", "Medium", and "Low" probability and impacts are being provided (NOTE:these definitions we utilized in the 2005 LHMP process): Probability High- Highly Likely/Likely Medium- Possible Low- Unlikely Impact High- Catastrophic/Critical Medium- Limited Low- Negligible The hazards were then placed into a matrix with the appropriate/corresponding box/cell.The table below is an example of how the process will capture the results. Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(20161 2 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino Impact High Medium ,. High Medium After all hazards had been analyzed,the Planning Team then determined which Probability and Impact category(i.e., High Impact; High Probability, Medium Impact)the community will focus on over the next five (5)years. An example of how the hazards may be prioritized is below(Red equaling high priority):1.FrA .. High Low After identifying the"higher" priority hazards in the community,each of the "high" priority hazards were profiled.The hazard profiling include the incorporation of all new information, material, and reports to better help the Planning Team and the community understand the hazard. Additionally,for each of the profiled hazards,the Planning Team then analyze the community's exposure to each hazard (inventory of assets) and the potential impact under scenario events.The Planning Team will use HAZUS and a recent project completed within City of San Bernardino to produce this information. . . Set Goals Goal setting was approached by the Planning Team as a two layered process. The first layer involved the stakeholders acting together as the Planning Team. The second layer involved the City Departments working internally to coordinate those goals identified by the Planning Team with the goals identified internally by the Special Districts The Planning Team validated and identified new Goals and Objectives for the LHMP update.The Planning Team reviewed the hazard exposure and scenario impacts developed during the Risk Assessment portion of the process.With a firm understanding of the risk the community is potentially facing,the Planning Team then re-evaluated the 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals and Objectives; assessed their status and effectiveness in meeting the 2005 Mitigation Measures and identified new Goals and Objectives. As part of this process,the Planning Team also reviewed the City's General Plan,the State of California LHMP,the SB County Operational Area LHMP, Floodplain Management Plans,Task Force After Action, Hazard Mitigation Plan Updite(2016) 22 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino and/or documents,and adjacent local jurisdiction LHMPs to ensure the Goals and Objectives were comprehensive and compatible. 3.6. Review and propose Mitigation Measures After the Goals and Objectives were established,the Planning Team then turned to identifying projects under each Goal and Objective that could be implemented to help reduce and/or eliminate the impacts from the priority hazards.As part of this process,the Planning Team reviewed the projects in the 2005 LHMP to determine which are completed,which are ongoing,and which were deferred. For projects that were not completed the Planning Team validated whether or not the project was necessary. With a firm understanding of past accomplishments and a good understanding of the potential exposure and scenario impacts from the Risk Assessment section,the Planning Team then started to identify projects that will help reduce and/or eliminate the risk for the high priority hazards.Again,a two-layer approach was used. The Planning Team as a whole identified common projects. These common projects were then coordinated internally by the Special Districts and the City to develop a common list of projects. After a list of all possible projects has been identified,the Planning Team then went through the process of prioritizing the projects. To assist with this effort the Planning Team adopted the STAPLEE methodology.STAPLEE stands for: Social—The public must support the overall implementation strategy and specific mitigation actions.Therefore,the projects will have to be evaluated in terms of community acceptance. Technology—It is important to determine if the proposed action is technically feasible,will help to reduce losses in the long term,and has minimal secondary impacts. Determine whether the alternative action is a whole or partial solution, or not a solution at all. Administrative—Under this part of the evaluation criteria, examine the anticipated staffing, funding,and maintenance requirements for the mitigation action to determine if the jurisdiction/special district has the personnel and administrative capabilities necessary to implement the action or whether outside help will be needed Political—Understanding how your current community and State political leadership feels about issues related to the environment,economic development,safety,and emergency management.This will provide valuable insight into the level of political support you may have for the mitigation activities and programs. Proposed mitigation objectives sometimes fail because of a lack of political acceptability. Legal—Without the appropriate legal authority,the action cannot lawfully be undertaken. When considering this criterion, determine whether your jurisdiction has the legal authority at the State,or local level to implement the action, or whether the jurisdiction must pass new laws or regulations. Each level of government operates under a specific source of delegated authority.As a general rule, most local governments operate under enabling legislation that gives them the power to engage in different activities. Identify the unit of government undertaking the mitigation action,and include an analysis of the interrelationships between local, regional,State,and Federal governments. Legal authority is likely to have a significant role Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(2.016) 2 2016-209 City of Sacs Bernardino later in the process when your State,or community will have to determine how mitigation activities can best be carried out, and to what extent mitigation policies and programs can be enforced. Economic—Every local government experiences budget constraints at one time or another. Cost-effective mitigation actions that can be funded in current or upcoming budget cycles are much more likely to be implemented than mitigation actions requiring general obligation bonds or other instruments that would incur long-term debt to a community. Local communities with tight budgets or budget shortfalls may be more willing to undertake a mitigation initiative if it can be funded,at least in part, by outside sources. "Big ticket" mitigation actions,such as large- scale acquisitions and relocation, are often considered for implementation in a post-disaster scenario when additional Federal and State funding for mitigation is available. Environmental–Impact on the environment is an important consideration because of public desire for sustainable and environmentally healthy communities and the many statutory considerations,such as NEPA,to keep in mind when using Federal funds.The Planning Team needed to evaluate whether,when implementing mitigation actions,there would be negative consequences to environmental assets such as threatened and endangered species,wetlands, and other protected natural resources. In addition to the STAPLEE methodology,the Planning Team incorporated other criteria/factor questions into the process to help engage and solicit input from members. Examples of these criteria/factor questions are: Does the Action: Solve the problem? Address Vulnerability Assessment? it Reduce the exposure or vulnerability to the highest priority hazard? Address multiple hazards? It Address more than one (1)Goal/Objective? Benefits equal or exceed costs? Can the Action: Be implemented with existing funds? Iff Be implemented by existing state or federal grant programs? Be completed within the 5-year life cycle of the LLHMP? Be implemented with currently available technologies? Will the Action: • Be accepted by the community? • Be supported by community leaders? • Adversely impact segments of the population or neighborhoods? • Require a change in local ordinances or zoning laws? • Result in legal action such as a lawsuit? • Positively or negatively impact the environment? Hazard Nlffigation Plan Update(2016) 24 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Comply with all local,state,and federal environmental laws and regulations? Is there: Sufficient staffing to undertake the project? Existing authority to undertake the project? After going through this process for each and every project,the Planning Team will then have the ability to identify the higher priority projects. 3.7. Draft the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update was drafted by the Project Manager, based on input and comments provided by the Planning Team.As indicated previously,the Planning Team used the 2005 LHMP as a starting point but revised it to reflect updated information and the new Table of Content (TOC).The proposed TOC is closely related to the 2005 LHMP format but there are slight differences. The Planning Team deemed this revision prudent and felt that it provided a better format of the LHMP update. In addition to the TOC,the Planning Team also uses the FEMA Guidance and materials provided by the County Fire Department Office of Emergency Services.This material aided in the Planning Team's understanding of the level of detail and type of information that is excepting in each section. This process started with the City Departments providing information to the Planning Team through their liaison on the Planning Team. After the Planning Team ranked and prioritized the materials,the liaisons returned to their respective Departments to vet the Planning Team's work. The Planning Team then worked together with the vetted materials to produce the draft LHMP.As mentioned earlier,each section was reviewed and updated as necessary. While some Planning Team members are responsible for the updating select sections, all members are responsible for reviewing and commenting on the entire LHMP.The Planning Team Project Manager was responsible for version control and distribution of the final LHMP for review. Once the LHMP update was drafted,the Planning Team provided opportunities for the public to review and comment on the plan.After the public comment period was closed,the Planning Team finalized the plan and forwarded to Cal OES and FEMA for approval. 3. . Adopt te Plan The City of San Bernardino City Council created each of the Departments to provide a specific service to a particular area/population of City of San Bernardino. The City Council takes action on behalf of each Department whenever governance items are necessary. City of San Bernardino City Council is responsible for the review, approval, and adoption of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) update for the City of San Bernardino. It is also the intent of the City of San Bernardino City Council to ensure the LHMP update remains a part of the City of San Bernardino General Plan.

Hazard mitigation Plan Update(20161 27 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino Section is Assessment The goal of mitigation is to reduce and/or eliminate the future impacts of a hazard including property damage, disruption to local and regional economies, and the amount of public and private funds spent to assist with recovery. However, mitigation should be based on an assessment of the risk. This Risk Assessment Section evaluates the potential loss from a hazard event by assessing the vulnerability of buildings, infrastructure,and people. It identifies the characteristics and potential consequences of hazards, how much of the City could be affected by a hazard, and the impact on City area assets. Our Risk Assessment approach consists of four(4)components: It Hazard identification—Identification and screening of hazards(Section 4.1) Hazard profile—Review of historic occurrences and assessment of the potential for future events (Section 4.2) Asset inventory—Identification of exposed buildings, infrastructure and population (Section 4.3) Vulnerability assessment—Determination of potential losses or impacts to buildings, infrastructure and population (Section 4.4) . . Hazard Identification Hazard Screening Criteria The first step in this process was to identify which natural hazards exist in the City area.To assist with this identification,an extensive data collection and document review effort was conducted. Identifying new or emerging hazards,obtaining updated hazard maps, hazard probability research studies and reports, reviewing data from new or updated local plans (i.e. Safety Element of the City of San Bernardino 2005 General Plan,threat assessments, disaster planning scenarios,community wildfire protection plans,etc.)and obtaining information about emergencies or disasters that have occurred since the 2005 LHMP provided valuable insights into which parts of the risk assessment,and the overall LHMP,warranted updates. Starting with the 2005 LHMP and augmenting as necessary,the Planning Team identified the following thirteen (13) hazards: IN Wildfires M Lightning It Flood 0 Extreme Heat • Earthquake/Geologic Hazards M Extreme Cold • Dam Inundation FA Hail it Infestation 11 Tornado ME Drought 8 Winter Storm (Heavy Snowfall) High Winds/Straight Line Winds Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(2016) 2 2016-209 City of Sin Bernardino This list represents an update to the list of hazards used in the 2005 LHMP; hazards added to the current list include Dam Inundation, Extreme Cold, and Winter Storm (Heavy Snowfall). Severe Thunderstorms' have been removed as a stand-alone hazard, as the more damaging hazards caused by thunderstorms (high winds, lightning, hail,and tornado)are captured individually. Hazard sass Matrix The intent of assessing the hazards is to help prioritize which hazard(s)create the greatest concern(s) in the City area.All of the identified hazards were ranked in the 2005 LHMP using the Critical Priority Risk Index(CPRI) software developed by Visual Risk Technologies. Because the process used to rank hazards in the 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan development process (the Critical Priority Risk Index(CPRI) software)was not utilized for the LHMP update, an alternative approach was used. The Planning Team implemented a qualitative ranking system for the LHMP update process; a non- numerical rating(High, Medium, or Low)was determined for both the 1) probability and 2)expected impact from each screened hazard. Using the hazard rankings from the 2005 LHMP, information on hazard occurrences during the last five years,and available data on specific hazard probabilities,the Planning Team assessed each hazard. A discussion of each hazard is provided below. The following definitions of"High," "Medium," and "Low" probability and impacts were used. (NOTE: these categories were also utilized in the 2005 LHMP process): Probability: High: Highly Likely/Likely.There may or may not have been historic occurrences of the hazard in the community or region but experts feel that it is likely that the hazard will occur in the community. Citizens feel that there is a likelihood of occurrence. Medium: Possible.There may or may not have been a historic occurrence of the hazard in the community or region but experts feel that it is possible that the hazard could occur in the community. Citizens may feel that there is a likelihood of occurrence. It Low: Unlikely.There have been no historic occurrences of the hazard in the community or region and both experts and citizens agree that it is highly unlikely that the hazard will occur in the community. Impact: High: Catastrophic/Critical. Both experts and citizens feel that the consequences will be significant in terms of building damage and loss of life. The National Weather Service(NWS)defines a severe thunderstorm as"A thunderstorm that produces a tornado,winds of at least 58 mph (50 knots),and/or hail at least W in diameter.Structural wind damage may imply the occurrence of a severe thunderstorm.A thunderstorm wind equal to or greater than 40 mph(35 knots)and/or hail of at least YV'is defined as approaching severe."

Consequences are thought to be modest in terms of building damage and loss of life, limited either in geographic extent or magnitude. Low: Negligible The hazard assessments for the thirteen(13) hazards identified by the Planning Team are summarized below: Wildfire: Probability—High, Impact-Medium Wildfires present a significant potential for disaster in City of San Bernardino,a region with relatively high temperatures, low humidity,and low precipitation during the summer,followed by a fall season that includes high velocity,very dry"Santa Ana" winds. Between 2005 and 2013, 1966 wildfires burned over 3309 acres in City of San Bernardino.Wildfires have the potential to cause significant damage and potential loss of life, as demonstrated by the 2003 Old Fire that resulted in $16.8 million in damage and one fatality,the total number of fire whose costs, including both property loss and fire suppression,totaled more than$1.8 million.The Planning Team agreed that the probability of future wildfire events was High,with the potential for very significant impacts. Flood: Probability—High,Impact—High Destructive flooding is a common occurrence in City of San Bernardino; severe storms and heavy rainfall have caused 20 flood events since 2005. Most of the City has the potential for flooding,as shown by the Flood Hazard Areas mapped by FEMA in the recently updated Flood Insurance Rate Map(FIRM), Figure 6. In addition, much of the City is expected to be at risk for alluvial fan flooding, as mapped by the Alluvial Fan Task Force (Figure 7). Consequently,the Planning Team determined that the Probability of future flood events is High,with the potential for very significant(High) impacts.

Numerous known active and potentially active faults traverse the City. An earthquake occurring on one or more of these faults is perhaps the most threatening geologic hazard to the City with respect to life and property loss. Seismic hazards resulting from earthquakes include ground shaking,ground surface rupture, landslides and slope instability, liquefaction, differential seismic settlement,seiche, and dam inundation. The probability of a significant(M6.7 or greater) earthquake occurring in Southern California in the next 30 years has been estimated to be 97%by the 2007 California Working Group on Earthquake Probabilities2,as shown in Figure 8. Earthquakes have the potential to cause widespread building damage, economic loss,and population impacts such as injury,death, and displacement. For the M7.8"Shakeout"scenario earthquake on the Southern San Andreas Fault, building damage in City of San Bernardino is expected to exceed$13 billion (see Section 4.4 for additional information on the Shakeout and other earthquake scenarios modeled for the risk assessment).Accordingly,the Planning Team agreed that the probability of future earthquake events is High,with the potential for catastrophic impacts.

However,there were no dam inundation occurrences in City of San Bernardino between 2005 and 2013.Accordingly,dam failure or inundation resulting from over-topping was considered by the Project Team to be highly unlikely(Low Probability),with the resulting potential impacts assumed to be severe (High Impact). As this dam is a flood control dam that is normally dry and the inundation map is for a catastrophic failure of a full capacity dam, (highest level was 43,000-acre feet or less than 1/3 capacity in 2005). 61 � § kf 1 01� w/ r Ig A Figure 9.Seven Oaks Dam Inundation Area in City of San Bernardino Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(20161 32 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino Infestation: Probability—Low,Impact—Low Emergencies related to insect infestation have only impacted the City of San Bernardino to a minor degree in the last decade, including the mosquito-borne West Nile Virus in 2007. Future infestation issues were determined by the Planning Team to be possible(Low),with the impact generally expected to be low(Low Impact). Drought:Probability—Medium,Impact—Medium Drought emergencies have been declared in California as recently as 2009, but have primarily affected agricultural areas of the Central Valley. .There were no significant drought events in City of San Bernardino between 2005 and 2013.The Planning Team decided that while the potential for future drought events was Medium,the local impact of drought is expected to be limited(Medium Impact). High Winds/Straight Line Winds:Probability—High,Impact—Low Straight-line winds are any winds not associated with the rotation of a tornado. Straight-line winds are responsible for most thunderstorm wind damage 3. Straight-line winds can exceed 125 mph, and knock down trees and power lines. Damaging high wind events occurred in the City in 2007,when high winds and thunderstorms brought down trees and fences,and in 2010,when straight-line winds exceeding 60 miles per hour felled trees and damaged power lines. Another type of high winds are the "Santa Ana"winds,which commonly occur between October and February, and can reach speeds of more than 100 miles per hour. Santa Ana winds are warm, dry winds that descend from the high desert, down the mountains into the Southern California Basin 4.The most significant hazard associated with Santa Ana winds is an increased wildfire danger, but Santa Ana winds can also cause downed trees and power lines,and property damage, as well as causing potentially hazardous conditions for aircraft and boaters. The Planning Team concluded that the probability of experiencing future damaging winds is High, with low potential for Impacts.The City of San Bernardino has experienced 9 significant high wind events in the time frame of 1/2005-11/2011. Lightning:Probability—High, Impact—Medium Relative to most of the U.S., lightning strikes occur less frequently in Southern California,as shown in the annual lightning incidence map available from the National Weather Service(see Figure 10).The average lightning flash density in the City of San Bernardino area is very low,between 0.0 and 1.0 flashes per square kilometer per year.In 2009,there were 2 fatalities from lightning strikes statewide,of the 34 total 3 ,Thunderstorms,Tornadoes,Lightning...Nature's Most Violent Storms',NOAA/NWS, htt p.j rti�r_we the r a�as1> ve r�ne tlier/resc i rccs t 7_:C? , df a htt 'wv�lv.the�vether redirtion.cam:veather a erg t� 9lindex.htnif Hazard Nlitigat€on P Lin Update(2016) 33 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino throughout the US'.Although there were no significant lightning events in City of San Bernardino between 2005 and 2013,the Planning Team determined that the probability of future lightning events was High,but that such events would have only limited impacts(Medium Impact).

Exposure to extreme heat can result in illness (such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion) or death for those at greatest risk, including': Infants and children up to four years of age; People who overexert during work or exercise; People 65 years of age or older; IN People who are ill or on certain medications; and People who are overweight While extreme heat can occur virtually anywhere in the City, measures to prevent illness are generally common sense, including staying cool indoors, keeping hydrated, limiting physical activity, and monitoring those at highest risk. s http:/-w;Nw,nws.noaa.ROVJon-r/har..stats,sh t rn f 6 Fattp•/i'www bt cdc.Rov/disasters/extreraaeiieat(heat guide.asLa California Department of Health Services"Fast Facts—Preventing Summer Heat Injuries",PS18, httr):/Iwww,cdph,ca.gov/`P@ges/NR2009.60.aspx Hazard k4itigatio n PUn Update(2016) 34 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Recent extreme heat events within City of San Bernardino include a 2006 Excessive Heat& Power Outage event affecting the entire City,which escalated to a Stage One CAISO Power Emergency, and a 2010 incident impacting the Southeastern Desert Region.Therefore,the Planning Team determined that the probability of future Extreme Heat events was High,with the potential for Medium impacts. Extreme Cold: Probability—Low, Impact—Low Extreme cold can result in damage to crops, damage to homes and businesses (e.g.,from burst pipes), and can cause significant health problems, such as hypothermia and frostbite. Recent extreme cold events in within the City include the January 2007 Extreme Cold Emergency and the January 2008 Winter Weather Event.These events caused burst pipes in some residences, businesses, and public facilities.The Planning Team concluded that future Extreme Cold events were possible (Low Probability),and that the overall expected impact would be negligible (Low Impact). Hail: Probability—Low,Impact—Low Hail causes approximately$1 billion in damage in the US each year$. Much of the damage inflicted by hail is to crops, but vehicles, roofs, and landscaping also suffer hail damage. Figure 11 shows the mean number of hail days per year(with hail of%"diameter9 or greater,or causing damage)within 25 miles of a given point, using data from 1995—1999.As shown the threat of hail in the City of San Bernardino area is very low.There were no significant hail events in City of San Bernardino between 2005 and 2010.Accordingly,the Planning Team determined that future hail events were possible (Low Probability),and would be expected to have negligible (Low) impacts. y Figure 11.

In addition,most California tornadoes are considered "weak";the historical average occurrence rate of Strong–Violent(F2-F5)tornadoes in California is zero, as shown in Figure 13.There were no significant tornado events in City of San Bernardino between 2005 and 2010.Accordingly,the Planning Team concluded that the probability of future tornado events was unlikely(Low Probability),with an expectation of minimal impacts(Low Impact).

Hazard K8iMgation Plan Update(2O25) 37 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Based on the above discussion by the Planning Team,the hazards were placed into the matrix.The resulting categorization of each hazard is shown in the Hazard Assessment Matrix given in Table 1. Table 1.Hazard Assessment Matrix Impact High Medium Low • Flood • Wildfire • High Winds/Straight • Earthquake/ • Drought Line Winds High Geologic • Lightning Hazards • Extreme Heat • Winter Storm (Heavy Medium Snowfall) • Tornado • Dam • Hail Low Inundation • Extreme Cold • Infestation Hazard Prioritization The Planning Team then determined that the City should focus over the next five (5)years on hazards that fell within the HIGH "Probability' and "Impact"categories.While all the hazards present a potential problem in the City,the Planning Team felt that if they were able to reduce or eliminate the risk from these hazards, it would provide a greater service to the people within the jurisdiction. Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Q016) 3 2016-209 City of Sin Bernardino Table 2 illustrates how the final prioritization of the hazard;the"Green" colored box represents the highest priority hazards; and the"White"colored boxes represent lower(second and third tier) priority hazards.

Hazard Profile This section discusses the highest priority natural hazards the City areas and Special District areas are expected to experience;wildfire, earthquake/geologic hazards, and flood. Floods are the most common and widespread of all natural disasters faced by the City. Most communities in the United States have experienced some kind of flooding during or after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms,winter snow thaws, or summer thunderstorms. A flood,as defined by the National Flood Insurance Program is: "A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties (at least one of which is the policyholder's property)from: • Overflow of inland or tidal waters, or • Unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source,or • Mudflow, or Hazard mitigation Plan Update(2016) 39 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino Collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or similar body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels." Floods can be slow or fast rising but generally develop over a period of hours or days. Mitigation includes any activities that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of an emergency happening,or lessen the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies. Investing in mitigation measures now,such as: engaging in floodplain management activities, constructing barriers, such as levees,and purchasing flood insurance will help reduce the amount of structural damage to structures and financial loss from building and crop damage should a flood or flash flood occur. The standard for flooding is the 1%annual chance flood,commonly called the 100-year flood,the benchmark used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)to establish a standard of flood control in communities throughout the country.The 1%annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood. The 1%annual chance flood is the flood that has a 1%chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year and it could occur more than once in a relatively short period of time. By comparison,the 10% flood (10-year flood) means that there is a 10%chance for a flood of its size to occur in any given year. Figure 14 provides flood hazard data for City of San Bernardino as mapped in FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer for California (April, 2010). Mapped areas include areas subject to inundation by the 1% Annual Chance Flood (also referred to as the 100-year flood), and areas subject to inundation in the 0.2%Annual Chance Flood (500-year flood).

Figure 14.FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer for City of San Bernardino Flash Flooding Flash flooding tends to occur in the summer and early fall because of the monsoon rains and is typified by increased humidity and high summer temperatures. Flash flooding causes road and bridge washouts and erosion of earthen channels and basins when they occur near these facilities.The City may experience street closures for several days due to sediment transport and road damage.The urban valley also can experience flash flooding in its narrow canyons and within the many unimproved creeks and interim channels feeding the Santa Ana River.The valley floor in many areas is very flat so even minor rain events can produce flooding of roads and private property. In coordination with the City,the County of San Bernardino Flood Control District has prepared Master Drainage plans for the City to provide a plan for reducing flooding due to minor storms. However, local resources are not sufficient to cover the cost of the construction of the drainage systems.The densely populated urban valley region of the City contains the headwaters of the Santa Ana River.The San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains border the North side of the valley are steep reaching 5,000 feet with alluvial fans,which are developed and densely populated. As cited in the City General Plan,the City has experienced severe and widespread flooding throughout its history. Data from 1/2005-11/2011 shows 20 flash flood events in the City of San Bernardino.There is no data on the dollar loss. Several major drainage basins have the potential to subject residents and Hazard Mitigation Pbn Update(2016) 1 2016-209 City of Sera Bernardino structures to a high risk of flooding.The City has entered into an agreement to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP),which provides flood insurance within designated floodplains. StormReady City of San Bernardino is working towards becoming a StormReady city. Alluvial Fan Taskforce In December of 2002,the California Floodplain Management Task Force Report recommended that"The State should convene a task force specifically for alluvial fans,with stakeholder participation,to review the state of knowledge regarding alluvial fan floodplains, determine future research needs,and,if appropriate, develop recommendations relating to alluvial fan floodplain management,with an emphasis on alluvial fan floodplains that are being considered for development." In September of 2004,Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 2141,which recommended the creation of the Alluvial Fan Task Force (Task Force).The Director of the Department of Water Resources(DWR)convened the Task Force in December of 2007 after funding to support Task Force activities was secured from a Pre-Disaster Mitigation Planning Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) and a state match was authorized by Assembly Bill 466. Funding supported the tasks charged to the Task Force including: 1. Review the state of knowledge regarding alluvial fan floodplains; 2. Determine future research needs; 3. Develop a voluntary locally-adopted model ordinance for communities subject to alluvial fan flooding that supports land use decisions on alluvial fans; 4. Develop local planning tools to assist local communities evaluate development on alluvial fans; and 5. Prepare recommendations relating to alluvial fan floodplain management. Appointments to the Task Force by DWR Director Lester Snow represented a broad range of interests. Members included elected officials, represented by five Supervisors from Kern, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, and City of San Bernardino where future alluvial fan development is projected.Appointments also included representatives of the development and environmental community, local floodplain managers and associated state and federal agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA), plus at-large members representing other issues related to future development on alluvial fans.The entire process was coordinated by the Water Resources Institute at California State University San Bernardino. The primary purpose of the Alluvial Fan Taskforce Findings and Recommendations Report(July 2010) and The Integrated Approach for Sustainable Development on Alluvial Fans (July 2010)documents are to provide a non-prescriptive and flexible model that local governments can use at their own discretion, adapting to local conditions and needs,that supports wise future land use decisions associated with development on alluvial fans. Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(2016) 42 2016-209 City of San Bernardino The City of San Bernardino will review and analyze the findings and recommendations from the recently released Alluvial Fan Taskforce reports, provided that funding for this task is available.The review and analysis would determine whether or not additional amendments to development standards or polices are merited. The City may review the development of the suite of local planning tools for pre-project screening for future development proposals on alluvial fans. If funding allows for the review,these planning tools may be useful as an optional database reference for project management.Additionally,the flood management tools designed to analyze alluvial fan flood hazards and formulate flood hazard protection, which were developed to be consistent with FEMA guidelines, may provide an optional data source for project development. Long term funding for updating and maintaining the pre-project screening tools database is a concern regarding the reliability for current data. If funding exists,for the implementation of the Integrated Approach for Sustainable Development on Alluvial Fans,the methods contained therein may be used as some of the approaches for planning and evaluating the suitability of development on alluvial fans. During the analysis and review, if budgets allow,the long-term ecological and financial sustainability issues would also be evaluated. Severe weather events leading to flooding are listed in Table 3; several major events are discussed below. Table 3.Severe Weather Events 2005-Present 7/7/2006 Thunderstorms-Flooding 10/13/2006 Thunderstorms and Flooding 11/30/2007 Heavy Rains 8/30/2008 August Thunderstorms 1/18/2010 January 2010 Winter Storms 12/17/2010 December 2010 Winter Storm Event Wildfires Wildfires present a significant potential for disaster in the City, a region of relatively high temperatures, low humidity, and low precipitation during the summer.This long summer season is followed by a fall season that is famous for high velocity,very dry winds that come out of the desert.The Santa Ana winds very consistently arrive from the middle of October to the end of November. In and of themselves,these weather patterns would be of little significance without the un-naturally dense forest and the dense undergrowth that has been allowed to grow unabated for the last several decades. Compounding the vegetative growth that has occurred is the unchecked development of substantial housing and businesses in the foothill portions (Wildland-Urban Interface) of the City.This urbanized growth has required parallel growth and sophistication in the fire service that responds to wildfires in the wild land Ha .ard Mitigation Plan Upal'ate(2016) 3 2016-209 City of San Bernardino urban interface.With immediate responses to initial fire starts,the vast majority of fires are successfully extinguished in short order. In doing so,this eliminates nature's way of thinning the forest through smaller fires. Wildfires are an unplanned, unwanted wildland fire including unauthorized human- caused fires, escaped wildland fire use events,escaped prescribed fire projects, and all other wildland fires where the objective is to put the fire out A wildfire burning into the city could destroy or damage hundreds or thousands of homes and businesses, disrupt the economic structure of the City and it's residents, and significantly impact the city economically through reduced taxes, lowered property values,and dislocated residents and businesses. In order to mitigate much of the wildfire danger resulting from an overly dense forest,the City of San Bernardino along with neighboring jurisdictions developed and implemented the Mountain Area Safety Task Force(MAST). MAST provides a single point of coordination for numerous Federal,State,and local agencies that perform a multitude of tasks related to creating fire safe communities. MAST provides an extensive Fuels Reduction Program.The Fuels Reduction Program began with removal of dead hazardous trees from areas threatening electrical transmission lines,evacuation routes,and structures within the San Bernardino Mountains.As additional hazards were identified,such as green fuel load density and wood shake roofs on structures within the San Bernardino Mountains, programs were developed to reduce or eliminate the hazard. The Fire Severity Zones for the City of San Bernardino identify areas of Very High, High, and Moderate fire hazard severity throughout the City(Figure 15) below—( Map Data from Cal Fire and USFS). Fire Severity Zones are used in determining additional protective measures required when building new structures or remodeling older structures within the particular zone.Additional measures must be taken on the property around a structure in the higher ranked fire Severity Zones.

Most of these fires were held to 1 acre due to rapid response and an aggressive wildland inspection program. Our large fires typically cycle every 15-20 years.This occurs when the annual grasses and scrub oak regrow on the interface creating a large fire load.With the straight-line winds blowing on this fuel bed, it is impossible to stop these fires from burning into the City of San Bernardino. Several fires were wind driven by high Santa Ana winds in the area.Total costs of the fires including property loss and suppression costs was $1.8 million. Hazard Mitigation Pkin Update(2016) 4 2016-209 City of San Bernardino The Panorama and Old Fires all occurred in the City's mapped Very High Fire Severity Zone. Both fire followed roughly the same path into the city. It can be expected for another similar fire to occur in the next 15-20 years. Mitigation efforts have reduced but not eliminated the threat from wildfire.The strong fall winds that are capable of creating firestorms cannot be controlled. Drought cannot be controlled. Fuels reduction programs reduce the potential spread of fire, upgraded Building Codes make structures more fire resistant,and public education prepares residents for wildfires. However,the threat of wildfire remains.The continuing goal is to reduce the threat from wildfire wherever possible. Earthquake Geologis Hazards An earthquake is a sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the earth's surface. For hundreds of millions of years,the forces of plate tectonics have shaped the earth as the huge plates that form the earth's surface move slowly over, under,and past each other. Sometimes the movement is gradual.At other times,the plates are locked together, unable to release the accumulating energy.When the accumulated energy grows strong enough,the plates break free, causing the ground to shake. Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries where the plates meet; however,some earthquakes occur in the middle of plates. Ground shaking from earthquakes can collapse buildings and bridges; disrupt gas,electric, and phone service;and sometimes trigger landslides, avalanches,flash floods,fires, and huge,destructive ocean waves(tsunamis). Buildings with foundations resting on unconsolidated landfill and other unstable soil, and trailers and homes not tied to their foundations are at risk because they can be shaken off their mountings during an earthquake. When an earthquake occurs in a populated area, it may cause deaths and injuries and extensive property damage. Earthquakes can strike suddenly,without warning. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year and at any time of the day or night.On a yearly basis,70 to 75 damaging earthquakes occur throughout the world. Figure 17 shows the locations of major faults in California, including the four(4) major faults in Southern California in relation to City of San Bernardino.These faults are the Southern San Andreas,the San Jacinto,the Elsinore, and the Garlock Faults.There are also many smaller faults within City of San Bernardino capable of producing significant earthquakes. However,these four faults are considered by the United States Geological Survey(USGS)and the California Geological Survey(CGS)to be the most dangerous in the City. (California Geological Survey Special Publication 42, Interim Revision 2007, "Fault- Rupture Hazard Zones in California"-Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act) Other geologic hazards include liquefaction and landslides. Both occur during and after earthquakes.

None of these earthquakes occurred on one of California's Major faults. Several of the major Southern California faults have a high probability of experiencing a Magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake within the next 30 years(Figure 18);59% probability of a M6.7 or greater on the Southern San Andreas Fault, 31%probability on the San Jacinto Fault,and 11%probability on the Elsinore Fault.These probabilities were determined by the USGS and CGS in a 2008 study(2007 Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities, 2008, The Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 2(UCERF 2): U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2007-1437 and California Geological Survey Special Report 203 [htt. ubs.us s. ov of 2047 1417L]). �fl CALIFORNIA FAULTS Probability of Wt 6.7 Eanhquakes San An*eas 69 4 San.tto N San Andmas ' 00-GOock % 3i}year fartia�uako Probability % 0.01% 11Vp �al� s oCiV ,US GS Figure 18.California Faults-Probability of 2:M6.7 Earthquake Hazard,Mitigation Ilan Update(2016) 2016-209 City of San Bernardino As shown in Figure 19,the probability of an earthquake with a Magnitude 6.7 or greater occurring somewhere in Southern California within the next 30 years are estimated to be 97%(2007 Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities, 2008).As can be seen in the table, earthquake probabilities in Southern California are higher than those for Northern California.

As the depth to the water table becomes shallower,the risk of liquefaction increases. Areas most susceptible are those with a water table less than 10 feet below the surface. 11 Areas affected are those below the mouths of canyons adjacent to the San Bernardino Mountains and areas in the San Bernardino Valley where the water table is less than 50 feet of the surface. As the water table depth increases,the risk from liquefaction decreases. Where the water table depth is greater than 50 feet,the risk from liquefaction is considerably less. City building codes address the risks and mitigation that is required when building occurs within the identified liquefaction zones within the City limits. The "Bunker Hill Basin" underlies all of the City of San Bernardino. According to the latest published report(July 2015) much of the city is over ground water table sub-surface levels of 50'or less. Due to the current drought,the highest sub-surface water tables are around 25' below ground level. Depending upon rainfall amounts received in the next two or three years and the amount of water pumped from the basin,these levels may increase, decrease or remain the same. The San Bernardino Valley Metropolitan Water District manages the Bunker Hill Basin, monitors water levels and issues reports on the basin conditions. r . Y.

As mentioned earlier, lower priority hazards are addressed at a lesser level of detail due to their relatively fewer impacts,as identified in the preceding hazard assessment section.The lower priority hazards for the City area are: Severe Thunderstorm Infestation Il Drought • High Winds/Straight Line Winds • Lightning Extreme Heat • Hail • Tornado Although not part of the LHMP,the remaining hazards are a part of the City of San Bernardino 2005 General Plan and are addressed in the City Building Codes and Ordinance. . . Inventory Assets The third step in the Risk Assessment process is to describe the various assets exposed to the identified hazards, including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings throughout the impacted area, critical facilities,as well as critical infrastructure. Buildings' Table 6 provides an estimate of the number and size of buildings in the City's area as well as the replacement value of the buildings and their contents.The table provides information by occupancy class (e.g., residential,commercial,etc.),as well as by construction type(e.g.,concrete,wood frame,etc.). This information was derived from a database generated for the FEMA-funded "County of San Bernardino Essential Facilities Risk Assessment(SBEFRA)" project,completed in 2009.The project utilized Assessor's data to create updated building inventory databases for use in HAZUS-MH, FEMA's GIS-based earthquake, flood and hurricane loss assessment software. In addition,the SBEFRA project also collected and synthesized improved data for essential facilities Citywide.These data were used to estimate economic and population impacts for selected earthquakes and floods using FEMA's HAZUS-MH program.

A Police Department Working Group was established to identify Critical Facilities throughout City of San Bernardino. Due to Homeland Security and issues related to terrorism,this list is not included in the LHMP, but is available through the Police Department. The Police Department maintains a Critical Infrastructure Database listing the site name, location, critical level,threat level,site type, and contact information.This database was created for the 2005 LHMP and has been updated regularly by the Intelligence Division.The Police Intelligence Division has created Emergency Response Folders (Folders) on each of the locations.The Folders contain site-specific information needed by emergency personnel to respond to any type of emergency.The Folders contain floor plans, photographs, entry/exit points, utility locations, ingress and egress locations, known hazardous materials on site, and emergency contact information for the responsible persons of the site. The Police Department maintains control and transport of this information to an Incident Command Post/Department Operations Center/Emergency Operations Center when needed.

The following are two of the major utility agencies: Southern California Edison (SCE) has undertaken an all-hazards approach.to planning for an emergency event.SCE has developed an Emergency Response and Recovery Plan to provide a safe and reliable electric service. SCE also has a long-standing relationship with the City and is an active member of several local,state,and federal organizations.According to SCE they have acted to mitigate the impacts of hazards on their electrical system. Southern California Gas Co. (The Gas Company) has also coordinated with the City, maintains a natural gas high-pressure system within the City, and consists of approximately 100 miles of underground pipelines.The system also includes some above ground facilities.The total replacement cost for the entire system is approximately$40,000,000.The Gas Company conducts annual training for the first responders within their service territories to teach the proper methods of responding to and working with natural gas leaks.Staff from The Gas Company serves on local emergency management committees within their service territory. . . Vulnerability Assessment This section presents the results of the vulnerability assessment, estimating potential losses or impacts to buildings, infrastructure,and population for the various identified hazards. Methodology Identified risks included in the 2005 LHMP were reviewed. Frequency of occurrence and magnitude of each type of event for the five years since the 2005 LHMP were added to the databases.These databases of frequency and severity were considered in the update of the estimated hazard impacts. ResLdts for Wildfire a. Population:Approximately 30%of the population in the City's Unincorporated Area's population is vulnerable. b. Critical Facilities:Approximately 85%of the City's Unincorporated Area's critical facilities are vulnerable.The numbers of City's critical facilities vulnerable are summarized in Table 9.

Should building specific lists exist,these would potentially supersede the estimates provided in the tables. For example, in the 1990's,the City of San Bernardino compiled a master list of suspected Unreinforced Masonry Buildings within the City. Several appear to have been demolished or retrofitted since the 1990's.The Planning Division is currently in the process of re-evaluating the URM list.

Figure 25 is a detail map of FEMA's Flood Zones in the City. The maps show that a considerable portion of City of San Bernardino is vulnerable to flooding.The vulnerable areas are addressed in the City's General Plan.See Sections 5 and 6 for additional information. City of San Bernardino has two(2) properties listed in the Repetitive Loss and Severe Repetitive Loss Haand NAitigation Plan update(20161 67 2016-209 City of San Bernardino properties.One of the properties is a single-family residence and the second is a non-resident building.The properties are located in: It Single family residence—January 1993 and March 1995 Non-resident building—August 1983 and March 1992 These properties were damaged during unusual storms and/or immediately after a wildfire in the area and are isolated properties in widely scattered areas of the City.The properties were not damaged during the 2009 or 2010 winter storm events. Property addresses are not listed to comply with privacy laws. The areas are now covered by the City General Plan and City Ordinance.These are in compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program. The City has experienced severe and widespread flooding throughout its history.Several major drainage basins have the potential to subject residents and structures to a high risk of flooding. In addition,the cumulative increase in impervious surfaces has increased problems related to surface run-off.While complete avoidance or protection through control facilities is not practical,considerable improvement can be made through both structural and non-structural methods.The City currently utilizes land use zoning districts to prohibit habitable structures in floodways as defined by the federal requirements necessary to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.The consistent adoption of overlays is needed to require special review,conditions, and the prohibition of some uses in floodplain areas(areas subject to 100-year floods), including dry lakes. In addition,there are land use policies and development standards that can be implemented, including reduction of impervious surfaces; increase of percolation, infiltration,and recharge; and the control of urban run-off. Flood hazards are more comprehensively discussed in the Safety Background Report. City of San Bernardino 2005 General Plan (Effective November 1, 2005)Section VIII.

Community Capability Assessment 5.1. Agencies and People The City of San Bernardino operates under a hybrid Mayor-Council-City Manager form of government. The Mayor is elected by the voters at large, and is the City's Chief Executive Officer.Voters within their respective wards elect each of the seven members of Council.The Mayor and Council members serve four-year terms. Under the supervision of the Mayor,the City Manager is the Chief Administrative Officer.The City Manager directs most City Departments, other than those governed by separate boards (Water Dept., Civil Service,and Library) and the offices of elected officials.The City Manager's office, in addition to assisting the Mayor and Council in policy formulation,focuses on special projects. The City of San Bernardino also has an elected City Attorney, City Treasurer and City Clerk. Below is an organizational chart of the City of San Bernardino departments,special districts and agencies: Hazard Mitigation Flan Update{201.6) 71 2016-209 city of San Bemarc&lo — — Current L C}rganizational� -; Structure _ :_I I .......... - I� . - c�a u Y gi;are 27 Orgariz,_1€m€a< Cho,-�-Cav:ofSan 72 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Existing Plans City of San Bernardino is encouraging all departments,special districts,and agencies to share reports and common information.This sharing and exchanging of ideas has led to more coordinated efforts and better planning.The driving document in the City of San Bernardino is the City's General Plan.The City General Plan provides the foundation on which all development and future programs are built upon. City of San Bernardino General Plan The State of California recommends that the General Plan is updated every 10-20 years; depending mostly on whether or not the plan is meeting the community's needs.The City of San Bernardino General Plan was last updated and adopted in 2005.There are thirteen (13)elements in the General Plan: Land Use MI Housing IN Economic Development Community Design 91 Circulation Public Facilities and Services Parks, Recreation, and Trails Utilities Safety Historical and Archaeological Resources Natural Resources and Conservation Energy and Water Conservation IN Noise However,there are several optional elements.The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes an optional element,the Economic Development Element. The Land Use Element of the General Plan establishes 18 land use-zoning districts that apply only to lands governed by the City; not for lands controlled by other jurisdictions or lands controlled by federal and state government(see Section 1.3.5, page 8 for a listing of the 18 Land Use districts in the Land Use Element).The Land Use Element also describes land use compatibility for the primary three(3) hazards: Geologic; Flood; and,Wildfire. Because of these commonalities between the General Plan and the LHMP,the City Council has adopted the LHMP as part of the City's General Plan. Fire Station Relocation Plan: Hazard Mitigation€l ara Update(201£) 73 2016-209 City of Sera Bernardino The calls for emergency service in the City of San Bernardino has risen dramatically in recent years. In 2013,the fire department responded to 29,895 calls for service. Approximately 26,000 were for emergency medical services.The City of San Bernardino currently has 12 fully staffed fire stations.Two of these stations are dual crew stations in that there is both a fire engine and a fire truck.All of the apparatus in the City of San Bernardino are equipped with Advanced Life Support(ALS)equipment and staffed with a minimum of a single paramedic. It is the direction of the city council for the fire department to arrive on scene of a medical response within 6 minutes of receiving the call for service. This time goal was established using medical practices of establishing brain death after lack of oxygen that occurs within four to six minutes. Because of the increase in the number of requests for services over the years(Table A),the goal of arriving at all medical aid requests has increased from six minutes to approximately nine minutes.As this is well past the time of brain death without oxygen,the City of San Bernardino along with fire department has had a detailed study performed by City Gate, a private business that specializes in evaluation fire department performance and makes recommendations of change to meet the goals of the City and fire department.This study is in progress and will be completed by June 2014. Preliminary meetings have taken place and the initial indications are that multiple fire stations must be relocated in order to meet the standard established by the City of San Bernardino regarding response times. Additional stations are also predicted to be proposed along with the addition of three to four paramedic squads.This study is not the first to be considered. In the City of San Bernardino Master Facilities Plan of 2006,the relocations and rebuilding of the city fire department stations was one of the top priorities. The recession and subsequent loss of income to the city put these plans on hold even as the requests for services continued to climb.

Floors have rotted away,showers are leaking around seams creating mold issues, and ceilings with asbestos coverings are becoming compromised.The plan,which call for these stations to be torn down and rebuilt, has not been finalized.The final report from City Gate will be used to help define the priority of rebuilding these stations. Several Fire Stations are in flood zones and must be relocated.These stations have been identified in tables . . Regulations, Codes, Policies, and Ordinances The following titles of the City of San Bernardino Code(http://www.ci.san- bernardino.ca.us/cityhall/community_development/development_code.asp/) include regulations and ordinances on the following issues and topics related to hazard mitigation: Article I General Provisions Authority and General Plan Consistency Establishment of Land Use Districts General Requirements Article II Land Use Zoning Districts Article III General Regulations Property Development Standards Sign Regulations Off-Streets Parking Standards Off-Street Loading Standards Landscaping Standards Subdivision Regulations Article 4 Administration Administration Applications and Fees Certificate of Occupancy Conditional Use Permits Design Review Development Agreements Development Code Amendments Development Permits Enforcement of Provisions Hazard Mitigation PW—, U'Palate(2016) 75 2016-209 City of Sin Bernardino Final and Parcel Maps General Plan Amendments Hearings and Appeals Home Occupation Permits Interpretations Minor Exceptions Minor Modifications Non-conforming Structures and Uses Specific Plans Subdivision Maps Surface Mining and Land Reclamation Temporary Use Permits Variances The City has also adopted Zoning Ordinances that are not part of the City Code but are part of the General Plan.These ordinances regulate land use, map the official land use, and hazard overlay districts, to include safety hazard and environmental protection areas. Mitigation r Wildfire Progtrams City of San Bernardino participates in one of the most comprehensive set of programs to mitigate the potential for catastrophic wildfires in the Nation.There is no other jurisdiction that has the comprehensive, multi-agency cooperation and coordination as is found in City of San Bernardino.This was accomplished when the City Council joined the Mountain Area Safety Task Force(MAST)in 2003.Since its beginnings,it has been the Unified Command that has successfully implemented and completed numerous programs leading to safer communities,a more educated public and an improved environment. Mountain Area Safety Taskforce MAST MAST was formed to mitigate the region wide risk of a catastrophic wildfire due to dead and dying trees in the mountain communities.The mission of the MAST is to facilitate a coordinated effort by cities, county,state,federal,and non-profit agencies to provide for the protection of property owners, residents,and property subject to the risk of catastrophic wildfire that could occur in City of San Bernardino with an initial emphasis on the threat resulting from the Old and Grand Prix fires in 2003. The MAST Unified Command identified the following objectives as their focus and direction: Provide for Community Safety. Develop Coordinated Public Information Dissemination Between Cities,County, Special Districts, State, Federal,and Non-Profit Agencies. Develop Immediate, Mid-range and Long-range Coordinated Agency Plans. Identify and Secure Potential Funding Resources to Provide Protective Measures. Hazard �viitqation Nan Update(2016) 7 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Document Task Force Activities Including Mission,Goals and Objectives, Policies, Procedures, and Outcomes. Prior to any type of flood threat,the following precautionary measures may be taken by MAST members to reduce the impact of impending fires: Review mutual aid agreements Define evacuation areas and trigger points If Review the use of alert and warning systems Provide information to the public of fire prone areas and protective measures in progress or planned for those areas It Educate public on emergency self-help and preparedness IN Develop and maintain emergency notification procedures and checklists The MAST group includes: If City of San Bernardino IR USFS County Administrative Office 1K San Bernardino National Forest County Public Works-Flood Control/ Association Transportation/Solid Waste IN Forest Care County Fire Protection District K Cal Fire County Fire Protection District/Office of K, Caltrans Emergency Services(OES) E California Highway Patrol County Sheriff's Department 10 Inland Empire Fire Safe Alliance It Southern California Edison 0 Angelus Oaks Fire Safe Council Bear Valley Electric 5 Arrowhead Communities Fire Safe Council Arrowbear Lake Fire Department N Bear Valley Fire Safe Council Big Bear City Fire Protection District 13 Lytle Creek Fire Safe Council City of Big Bear Lake Fire Department 0 Mill Creek Fire Safe Council If Crest Forest Fire Protection District 8 Mountain Rim Fire Safe Council Running Springs Fire Department 2 Wrightwood Fire Safe Council Mountain Mutual Aid Mountain Mutual Aid is an operational group of emergency responders. It is comprised of all of the agencies and volunteer relief groups that would be and have been involved in any and all disasters on the mountain. It is of note to that their main and most frequent call to service is in response to a wildfire.They meet monthly and maintain themselves in a constant state of readiness. Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(2016) 77 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Community Based Fuels Reduction Program Cal Fire Cal Fire provides programs to increase fire safety in high fire hazard severity zones. It funds and staffs programs from public education activities to performing fuel modifications with inmate crews. One example is the active Re-Leaf program where mountain residents are educated about drought tolerant and fire resistive landscaping that is available and sustainable. Cal Fire is also the lead agency on reforestation after a wildfire to ensure the stability of the environment. Cal Fire Foresters are active participants in the MAST process helping educate citizens and leading forestry activities on private lands within the USFS boundary. City Fire Hazard Abatement The Fire Department and the Fire Prevention Bureau is responsible for Fire Hazard Abatement(FHA). Fire Hazard Abatement works to reduce the potential for an individual's property to be the source of fire and structural ignitability. Failing to maintain private property in a fire safe condition is seen as a fire threat and is considered a threat to neighbor's property rights.To obtain compliance, Fire Prevention Bureau issues notices of violation to properties that have dry vegetation and flammable green vegetation. If the property owner doesn't comply with the notice, Fire Prevention Bureau then obtains a warrant to go onto the property and abate the fire hazard. Wood Shake Roof Replacement In November 2009,the City Council approved an amendment to the Building Code that requires that all Wood Shake Roofs needing 25%or more repaired, be replaced with non-wood materials and have at least a Class A fire-retardant rating. The Inland Empire Fire Safe Alliance(IEFSA) The Inland Empire Fire Safe Alliance was created to act as a forum for all Fire Safe Councils in City of San Bernardino. Some of the benefits are developing a consistent and comprehensive message to citizens about fire safety; coordinating efforts for grant administration,writing, and reporting; a one-stop shop for information, resources and research; and a centralized source for sharing of updates from cooperating governmental agencies.There are approximately 20 Fire Safe Councils active in City of San Bernardino. Community Wildfire Protection Plans(CWPP) Community Wildfire Protection Plans are designed to provide a means for a community, usually through the Fire Safe Council,to have input into and actively participate in the planning,strategy,goals, and objectives of creating a fire safe community. CWPPs are ultimately reviewed and approved by the local Fire Chief, Cal Fire, USFS, and the local City Council.The plan must include a review of structure ignitability but also must show that there was collaboration not only with the agency but within the community as well. Grant applications to the State Fire Safe Council will not be approved unless the project is listed in a community CWPP. Hazard Mitigation Pl.-an Update(2 016) 7 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Public Education Programs MAST has a substantial public education component.All agencies participate with the goal to have no one on the mountain uneducated about creating a thinner forest that is a more fire safe forest. Additional components of the educational program include how to prepare for an emergency and knowing how to properly evacuate. Ready-Set-Go is a new public education program designed to teach residents within the Fire Hazard Overlay on how to prepare for and when to leave in the event of a wildfire in their area. Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness and trains them in basic response skills. Following a catastrophic event CERT Members can assist themselves,their families, and others in their neighborhood or workplace until professional responders arrive. Two(2) CERT programs,administered by City of San Bernardino Fire Department, are in the city with multiple more teams planned for 2014: ' Team 1: 32 members Team 2: 14 members City of San Bernardino is in the process of swearing in the current CERT participants.These individuals will be receiving a background check this year. The program receives guidance and resources from Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, Citizen Corps, and California Volunteers.The program is administered locally by the City of San Bernardino Fire Department. Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) During an emergency, public safety can be a direct function of the speed and accuracy of the dissemination of information.This is particularly important during emergencies that require evacuations.All areas of City of San Bernardino have all been preprogrammed so that during an emergency,the specific target group can be notified as quickly as possible. Earthquakes/Geologic Hazards Programs City of San Bernardino's seismic mitigation programs focus on two areas that have historically resulted in the greatest amount of damage and life loss from major earthquakes in California. Bridge Retrofit Program Caltrans inspects City bridges yearly for structural sufficiency(which applies to earthquake) and functional obsolescence(which applies to floods). Caltrans provides reports that include recommended Hazard �vtitigat€on Plan Update (2016) 7 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino repairs or replacement.The City make the repairs and/or apply for bridge replacement funds thru the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBR).Currently the City has#funded HBR replacements due to structural deficiencies: ff Mt.Vernon Bridge, Bridge at 5th street. Unreinforced Masonry Building Program In the 1990's,the City of San Bernardino compiled a master list of suspected Unreinforced Masonry Buildings within the unincorporated areas. In addition, several appear to have been demolished or retrofitted since the 1990's.The Development Services is currently in the process of re-evaluating the URM list. Re-evaluation will include a field visit to each site photographing structures and verifying the occurrence of unreinforced masonry. There are numerous large publically utilized URM structures currently on the list.These types of structures are mainly located in the downtown area of the city.There are approximately 104 structures remaining on the list.Twenty-three of these are vacant. Only 19 of the occupied URM buildings are posted.A program is being developed to enforce the City Building Codes regarding URM buildings. Geologic Hazard Mapping The Seismic Hazards Mapping Act(Public Resources Code, Chapter 7.8, Section 2690-2699.6)directs the Department of Conservation, California Geological Survey(CGS)to identify and map areas prone to liquefaction, earthquake-induced landslides and amplified ground shaking.Although the San Bernardino area has a full spectrum of geologic hazards, CGS does not have adequate funding to complete the hazard mapping within the City. Flood Programs The flood mitigation projects are programs that were established by City of San Bernardino Flood Control District to protect life and property.These projects are typically designed to convey 1%annual chance or greater storm flows in order to mitigate danger to life and property,and critical infrastructure consisting of existing, new and future structures. In addition,these projects include revisions to local land use and building codes where analysis or experience shows the need for code revisions or amendments to meet previously unidentified circumstances. Because the City has entered into an agreement to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)that provides flood insurance within designated floodplains,the following goals, policies and programs shall apply: As stated in the City of San Bernardino General Plan Safety Element: H a7 and tvi igation Plan Update(2C 16) 0 2016-209 City of Sin Bernardino GOAL 10.6. The City will protect the lives and properties of residents and visitors of the City from flood hazards. Policy 10.6.12 Participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP),which provides flood insurance within designated floodplains. Develop a process to study flooding issues and create appropriate regulations.This could include the creation of"alluvial districts," local quasi-government entities designed to inform homeowners of flood risks as well as advise the floodplain land use decisions of the City. Programs Designate Floodway and Floodplain areas, as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)on flood insurance rate maps and flood boundary maps, as Floodway(FW) on the Land Use Maps and Floodplain Overlays on the Hazards Overlay Maps. Designated floodway areas will be preserved for non-structural uses through restrictions of the FW Land Use Zoning District. All new development, including filling,grading,and construction, proposed within designated floodplains,will require submission of a written assessment prepared by a qualified hydrologist or engineer, in accordance with the latest"City of San Bernardino Hydrology Manual"and the various detention basin policies,to determine whether the development will significantly increase flood hazard and to show that all new structures will be adequately protected. Development will be conditioned on receiving approval of this assessment by the City of San Bernardino Public Works Department.All new construction in a Floodplain Overlay area will be required to be flood-proofed, located, and designed to allow unrestricted flow of floodwaters. The Land Use Compatibility Chart for 100-Year Flood Plains (Table S-1)will apply to City reviews of all discretionary and ministerial actions in City-designated floodplains. Lands within floodplain areas may be developed with non-critical and non-essential uses if mitigation measures are incorporated to ensure that the proposed development will not be hazardous, increase flood depths or velocities downstream, or degrade water quality,especially uses such as parks,trails, and open space. Provide known flood hazard information with every discretionary or ministerial application. When no mapped data exist, existing topographical,watershed, and drainage course data will be evaluated for a determination of potential flood hazard for every discretionary and ministerial action. Policy 10.6.4 Evaluate all development proposals located in areas that are subject to flooding to minimize the exposure of life and property to potential flood risks. Hazard titigation Plan Update(201£) 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Programs As new overflow studies and mapping are completed and approved by either the City's Land Development Engineer or the Public Works Flood Control Section,they will supplement the FEMA mapping and will be incorporated into Flood Hazard Overlay mapping. Initiate and finance programs for the continuous evaluation and designation of floodway,floodplain, and drainage areas. Timely application for FEMA mapping changes will be initiated to reflect any additions to or alterations in identified Floodways or Floodplains by the City Floodplain Management Administrator.

Alluvial Fan Task Force In December of 2002,the California Floodplain Management Task Force Report recommended that"The State should convene a task force specifically for alluvial fans,with stakeholder participation,to review the state of knowledge regarding alluvial fan floodplains,determine future research needs, and, if appropriate, develop recommendations relating to alluvial fan floodplain management,with an emphasis on alluvial fan floodplains that are being considered for development." Hazard mitigation Plan Update(2016) 82 2016-209 City of Sari Bernardino In September of 2004,Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 2141,which recommended the creation of the Alluvial Fan Task Force (Task Force).The Director of the Department of Water Resources(DWR)convened the Task Force in December of 2007 after funding to support Task Force activities was secured from a Pre-Disaster Mitigation Planning Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) and a state match was authorized by Assembly Bill 466. Funding supported the tasks charged to the Task Force including: 1. Review the state of knowledge regarding alluvial fan floodplains; 2. Determine future research needs; 3. Develop a voluntary locally adopted model ordinance for communities subject to alluvial fan flooding that supports land use decisions on alluvial fans; 4. Develop local planning tools to assist local communities evaluate development on alluvial fans; and 5. Prepare recommendations relating to alluvial fan floodplain management. Appointments to the Task Force by DWR Director Lester Snow represented a broad range of interests. Members included elected officials, represented by five Supervisors from Kern, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego and County of San Bernardino where future alluvial fan development is projected. Appointments also included representatives of the development and environmental community, local floodplain managers and associated state and federal agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA), plus at-large members representing other issues related to future development on alluvial fans.The Water Resources Institute at California State University San Bernardino coordinated the entire process. Primarily,the purpose of the Alluvial Fan Taskforce Findings and Recommendations Report(July 2010) and The Integrated Approach for Sustainable Development on Alluvial Fans(July 2010)documents are to provide a non-prescriptive and flexible model that local governments can use at their own discretion adapting to local conditions and needs that supports wise future land use decisions associated with development on alluvial fans. The City may review the development of the suite of local planning tools for pre-project screening for future development proposals on alluvial fans. If funding allows for the review,these planning tools may be useful as an optional database reference for project management.Additionally,the flood management tools designed to analyze alluvial fan flood hazards and formulate flood hazard protection, which were developed to be consistent with FEMA guidelines, may provide an optional data source for project development. Long term funding for updating and maintaining the pre-project screening tools database is a concern regarding the reliability for current data. If funding exists,for the implementation of the Integrated Approach for Sustainable Development on Alluvial Fans,the methods contained therein may be used as some of the approaches for planning and evaluating the suitability of development on alluvial fans. During the analysis and review, if budgets allow,the long-term ecological and financial sustainability issues would also be evaluated. Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(2016) 83 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Based on the Findings from the Alluvial Fan Task Force process, recommendations were made for specific future actions that the State and other public agencies should consider regarding alluvial fans. The City of San Bernardino has completed recommendation 1 and may consider other listed recommendations as follows: Recommendation 1: In November 2007, a General Plan Amendment(GPA)to the Safety Element of the 2007 General Plan was adopted to incorporate revised FEMA(Federal Emergency Management Agency) Flood Plain data.The GPA also adopted the FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map database as released by FEMA as it currently exists and as updated in the future for the City allowing for automatic map updates as new data are published by FEMA.This action by the City of San Bernardino City Council implements the portion of the first recommendation from the Alluvial Fan Task Force by working with FEMA to continue updating flood insurance rate maps. In addition,the GPA for the Safety Element in 0227(a) amended the Generalized Landslide Susceptibility layer,to incorporate updated existing landslide data published by the U. S.Geological Survey for the City area; (b)amended the Fire Safety map to incorporate updated fire safety mapping published by Cal Fire; and (c) amended the Generalized Liquefaction Susceptibility layer, modifying the City Liquefaction Maps. Recommendation 2: The City will coordinate with the California Geological Survey(CGS) and the United States Geological Survey(USGS)to review any newly developed Quaternary geologic maps in alluvial fan areas in order to identify potential hazards in areas projected for future development Recommendation 4: Historical,documentation of flooding occurrences are preserved by the City and the County's Flood Control District that would review the recommendation to identify flooding events that were associated with alluvial fans. Recommendation 6: The increased severity and intensity of wildfires in Southern California increase flood risk because the same structures subject to fire risk are also prone to post-fire debris flows. Many of the debris basins that were constructed some time ago did not anticipate the increased severity and intensity of wildfires or the additional developments that would follow.The California Emergency Management Agency projects that climate change will further increase the severity of storms, wildland fires,flooding, mudslides and landslides in areas of Southern California where existing debris basins are located. All of the City of San Bernardino Flood Control Debris Basins in the valley area were analyzed after the Grand Prix and Old Fires. Flood Control District Safety Assessment Teams utilized the Corps of Engineers' Los Angeles District methodology to determine debris production,the same methodology the Corps uses when designing debris basins. In many cases basins were physically expanded and additional measures such as K-rails and debris racks were installed.The understanding of post-fire debris flows continues to evolve; we work closely with the USGS as they develop Post Wildfire Debris Flow Hazard Assessments.The rainfall "Trigger Points" in the FAST CONOPS is a result of the USGS assessments.All Flood Control Basins are studied on an annual basis to determine existing capacity. Hazard toitigation Flan Update(20 6) 84 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Any additional funding to support efforts that meet the intent of recommendation#6 which states that the State and local agencies should conduct assessments of the adequacy of strategically located debris basins under a range of scenarios in urbanized areas in light of increased fire and post-fire debris-flow events. Recommendation 8: When funding sources become available for the maintenance and further development of the database for the web-based portal;which would be utilized as a pre-project screening and flood management tool for special alluvial fan areas,the City may evaluate the benefits of its use in the planning process. Recommendation 9: As financial resources are allocated,the City will consider the analysis of the Integrated Approach tools to be studied for use in land use planning for development on alluvial fans. Recommendation 10: If funding is provided,the City will review and propose for adoption a model ordinance tailored for the specific needs of the City. Recommendation 12: The City Manager's Office,after consulting with the appropriate departments and staff, may explore supporting the economic strategies recommended in the Integrated Approach regarding future maintenance of flood management infrastructure. Flood Area Safety Taskforce(FAST) During the devastating fires in the fall of 2003,there was great concern of what the ramifications might be for flooding in the burned areas,as well as in the valleys. In response to these concerns, an organization was established that mirrored the Mountain Area Safety Taskforce (MAST), mentioned above,which played a key role in minimizing damage. While the fires were ravishing the countryside, representatives from multiple agencies met often to address potential issues associated with flood, mud and debris flows develop a strategy and to protect communities from flooding incidents.These agencies united together to become the Flood Area Safety Taskforce(FAST). FAST is structured as an ICS/SEMS Organization for managing incident activities both readiness and response.The FAST Organization stresses liaison with the communities, provides for community education and information,and places emphases on Community and city partnerships. The FAST group includes: Elected State officials 11 County Sheriff's Department IS Representatives from all five (5) County 0 Representatives from the cities of Supervisorial Districts Fontana, Highland Rancho Cucamonga, State Office of Emergency Services Rialto,and San Bernardino. It County Administrative Office USFS IN County Public Works-Flood Control/ 11 Caltrans Transportation/Solid Waste ll CHP Hazard pulp€tigat�ors Plan Update(2016) 85 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino County Fire Protection District IR County Fire Protection District/Office of Emergency Services(OES) The mission of the FAST is to facilitate a coordinated effort by cities,county, state,federal,and non- profit agencies to provide for the protection of property owners, residents,and property subject to the risk of erosion, mudflows,and flooding that could occur in City of San Bernardino with an initial emphasis on the threat resulting from the Old and Grand Prix fires in 2003. The FAST Unified Command identified the following objectives as the focus and direction of the FAST: Provide for Community Safety. Develop Coordinated Public Information Dissemination Between Cities,County,State, Federal and Non-Profit Agencies. Develop Immediate, Mid-range and Long-range Coordinated Agency Plans. Identify and Secure Potential Funding Resources to Provide Document Task Force Activities Including Mission, Goals and Objectives, Policies, Procedures,and Outcomes. Prior to any type of flood threat,the following precautionary measures may be taken by FAST members to reduce the impact of impending flooding: Review mutual aid agreements Define evacuation areas and trigger points Review the use of alert and warning systems Provide information to the public of potentially susceptible flooding areas and protective measures in progress or planned for those areas Educate public on emergency self-help and preparedness Develop and maintain emergency notification procedures and checklists. A FAST Concept of Operations(CONOPS)was developed to provide activity guidelines for pre-flood activities related to National Weather Service (NWS)watches and warnings. Due to the unstable condition of the burned areas, activities and coordination needed to be established and implemented between departments. The CONOPS is"situation"and"incident" driven and subject to revision by the Unified Command which includes County Flood Control District&Co Roads,County Fire Protection District, United States Forest Service(USFS),California Department of Transportation(Caltrans),California Highway Patrol (CHP),County Sheriff,City of Fontana,City of Highland,City of Rancho Cucamonga,City of Rialto,and City of San Bernardino.The Unified Command has the ability to modify activities in these guidelines in response to current situations and predicted changes.Currently,the CONOPS includes both summer and Winter Storm Event Readiness.

Fiscal Resources The current fiscal year 2013-2014 budget for General Fund Revenue is$119.6 million. In addition to the revenue,there are transfers-in totaling$13.3 million from other funds. The total budgeted revenues are $132.9 million. Hazard Mitigation Plan Update(2016) 7 2016-209 City of San Bernardino The transfers-in are monies used to cover the expenses incurred from other departments paid from the General Fund. The budgets for expenditures in the General Fund are$128.1 million with an additional expense of transfers out of$3.2 million. The total budgeted expenditures are$131.3 million. Although the General Fund reflects a net of$1.6 million,due to filing bankruptcy,there are deferrals totaling$22.9 million that are not part of the"balanced" budget. Bankruptcy On August 1, 2012 the City of San Bernardino filed for Chapter 9 Bankruptcy. The paperwork was filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Riverside Division. Shortly after,a Pendency Plan was put into place. A revised budget was adopted based on that Pendency Plan for fiscal years 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. After years of financial struggles and challenges from declining revenues and increased fixed costs,the City is now in the position of having to make service delivery decisions and financial restructuring a necessity. The continued financial imbalance between revenues and expenditures had exhausted the City's general financial reserves. The financial burden resulted in obligations that exceeded the General Fund resources by$45.8 in the original proposed budget for fiscal year 2012-2013. The principles built into the Pendency Plan came in different forms. This included suspension of debt payments, payments for legal claims,continued reductions on pay and benefits, reductions to over market compensation components,transfers of eligible costs to other funds. These changes eliminated $45.0 million in expenditures in fiscal year 2012-2013 that resulted in the final numbers adopted in the final 2012-13&2013-14 Budgets. Part of continuing to allow a balanced budget there are ongoing deferrals within the General Fund. • Deferred Capital Maintenance in Streets, Roads, Buildings, Parks and Trees of$200.0 million • Pension Bonds of$3.3 Million per year • Not replacing equipment for, Fleet,Computers and Communications Currently,the City is in mediation with its creditors and other groups having financial interests with the City related to pre-bankruptcy obligations. There is an effort to reach some type of settlement agreement with various creditors and will then result in a Plan of Adjustment the will be subject to approval by the courts. The City is committed to achieving a position of fiscal solvency. We have a responsibility to provide the community basic services despite the limited resources for public health and safety.

The General Fund staffing has been reduced by 160 positions since the filing for bankruptcy in August of 2012. The staffing in all other funds has been decreased as well by 43 positions.

A City Council budget workshop was held on February 10,2014 and the City Council approved the revised budget on February 18, 2014. Below is detail of the adjustments that were made to both revenues and expenditures with a focus on General Fund. General Fund Revenues Estimated General Fund revenues (including transfers-in) are projected to be$4.9 million more than budgeted. Discussed below are some of the major highlights regarding General Fund revenues: Property Tax revenues are estimated to be$3.1 million greater than the adopted budget. The major reason for this increase is due to pass-thru payments and unanticipated residual tax increment from City of San Bernardino Successor Agency(formerly the Economic Development Agency). The end result was$2.3 million of unanticipated revenues. These projected revenues include: • EDA Incremental Tax Payment,Statutory Pass-Thru of$246,000 • Incremental Tax Payment, Negotiated Pass-Thru of$1,386,852 • Incremental Tax Payment, Estimated Residual Balance Pass-Thru of$931,935 Anticipated are residual balance pass-thru payments could vary annually as a result of the dissolution process and on-going dialog between the Successor Agency and the State Department of Finance. Other property tax components include current secured,current unsecured, and prior property taxes. Each had adjustments both up and down, resulting in a net change of$257,501. Property Tax In Lieu of VLF is forecasted to exceed budget projections by$413,334 in fiscal year 2013- 2014. Property Tax In Lieu of VLF revenue is calculated by the State based on the City's assessed valuation.This has caused the city to see an increase in its revenue due to this increase in its assessed valuation within fiscal year 2012-2013. Hazard mitigation Pura Update(201 6) 90 2016-209 City of Sara Bernardino Sales Tax revenues for fiscal year 2013-2014 are anticipated to be about$1.3 million higher than what was originally forecasted in the budget. The City, like most areas in the State, is continuing to see growth in sales tax. There is an offsetting sales tax expenditure obligation due to an existing sales tax sharing agreement. Utility User Tax revenues are projected to be in line with the budgeted amount of$22.5 million.This is comparable to the$22.47 million received in fiscal year 2012-2013. Measure Z-District Tax revenues are estimated to be slightly higher than the original budget projection. Approximately$305,000 more will be collected in fiscal year 2013-2014 for a total of$7,000,000. In fiscal year 2012-2013 the City received$6,806,870 in revenue from Measure Z. Transient Occupancy Tax revenues are anticipated to come in at the originally estimated budget amount of$2.6 million. Licenses and Permits revenues have had positive growth during this two-year budget cycle. Actual revenues are projected to be$9,324,651,an increase of$639,251 over budget. Within the components of this group, business registration revenues are anticipated to come in at the originally estimated budget amount of$6,514,500. Other license and permit activity in this category(not including business registration) are expected to collect$2.8 million,which is approximately$639,000 greater than budgeted. Actual revenues for fiscal year 2012-2013 were$2.7 million. Fees in this revenue category, however,are largely driven by development and building activity and should be viewed as one-time revenue sources. Fines and Penalties revenues are estimated to contribute about$345,000 less than the budget amount. This decrease is mainly due to parking citations and police administrative civil penalties coming in less than anticipated levels. This is, in part,due to enforcement personnel being assigned to higher priority, safety-related activities. Money&Property revenues,consisting of rental properties, parking garage fees, and vending machine activity is projected to come in at its budgeted amount of$638,000. Intergovernmental revenues are estimated to be slightly higher than budget estimates by a total of $154,000. The increase comes from various governmental sources,with revenue changes being both up and down. The two major contributors to the net increase were an increase in mutual aid revenue,with income estimated at$300,000 for contracted emergency response services.Safety services provided to the San Bernardino International Airport Authority added$177,117 in revenues, under a master service agreement. This agreement is subject to further review and validation. Offsetting these was a decline of$232,559 of revenues from the State of California for mandated services to the community. At this point the program appears to have ended. Charges for Services revenues are expected to be lower than budgeted projections by$362,000. The majority of the revenue shortfall is from the single-family home rental inspection and weed abatement fees. The Single Family Home Rental Program was suspended in June 2012. Subsequently,the Code Hazard�viitigation Plan Update(201.6) 91 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Inspection unit was integrated into the Police Department. Initially,the program was slow to be reinitiated. An additional contributing factor was a change in the program and required City inspections. Previously, inspections by the City were required annually. Currently, inspections by the City are performed every third year,with the other years allowing for homeowner self-certification. As a result fee income is down. Finally,the City Clerk's Office stopped processing applications for passports, reducing revenues by$60,000. Miscellaneous revenues are projected to collect about$6.1 million or$80,232 more than the original budget.The majority of this revenue is from an amended master service agreement with the Water Department for fiscal year 2013-2014, resulting in a$300,000 increase in its administrative contribution. Offsetting this is an anticipated decline in Police miscellaneous receipts of$200,000,and a decline of emergency hazardous materials revenues as the service has been altered. General Fund Expenditures General Fund expenditures are projected to be approximately$128,096,695. Including transfers-out total disbursements are projected to be approximately$131,342,904. This is an increase of$11,623,967 over the adopted budget amount of$119,718,937 for unanticipated costs for non-operational activities. These include the assumption of$3,450,089 of debt previously funded by the EDA and recently disallowed by the State Department of Finance,$2,635,000 of legal and consulting costs related to the bankruptcy. In addition there was$1,370,952 of water usage charges,which resulted from a change in the usage policies of the City and the Water Department. Debt service obligations increased in the General Fund by$1,157,550 based on a requirement that this obligation could not be paid by another restricted funding source. Exclusive of these costs,the projected expenditures and transfers-out were higher than budgeted by $3,339,332. These higher costs included Charter 186 costs of$1,285,074, higher than expected compensation costs for the Police Department of$433,281 and Fire Department costs of$125,830 with additional audit costs for fiscal year 2011-12 and fiscal year 2012-2013 of$392,900. Bankruptcy—The cost to proceed with the bankruptcy is significant. In addition to the external costs associated with professional fees,the time requirement of staff is tremendous. For fiscal year 2013- 2014 staff anticipates the cost for bankruptcy services to be$4.6 million. For fiscal year 2012-2013, costs were$3.9 million. Overtime expense resulted in overtime costs in excess of budgeted amounts due to the current staffing protocol and staffing levels in public safety. Total overtime per the original budget was$7,817,253 for the City. Of that amount, $4,828,730 and $2,136,600 were budgeted for Fire and Police, respectively. Forecasted overtime costs for fiscal year 2013-2014 are estimated at$10,874,275. This includes $7,065,300 for Fire and$2,676,108 for Police. Charter 186 expense uses a survey system to determine salaries,according to the City's Charter Sworn employees. Due to the timing of the survey and calculation,the required amount is not known at the Hazard Mitigation Flan Update(2016) 92 2016-209 City of Sin Bernardino time of the initial budgeting process. As a result, an amendment is made as soon as the salary adjustments are determined. Fire Department Salary expense is partially offset by the SAFER Grants that were awarded to the Fire Department for fiscal years 2012-2013 through 2014-15. The first grant of$3,363,972 covered fiscal year 2012-2013 ($1,681,986) and fiscal year 2013-2014($1,681,986);the second amount received $2,145,096 covered fiscal year 2013-2014($1,072,548) and fiscal year 2014-2015 ($1,072,548). Twelve firefighters were retention firefighters and nine were hired from fiscal year 2012-2013 to fiscal year 2013-2014 under these grants. The City must prepare for alternatives in fiscal year 2014-15 and beyond should this source of funding decline. As in prior fiscal years,the Fire Department's budget includes costs that result from mutual aid calls. The City has to cover the costs of these calls but then is reimbursed through the mutual aid system. The City's adopted budget and the current mid-year estimate reflects both the costs in the Fire Department budget as well as the revenue reimbursements in the mutual aid revenue account. Dissolution of the Economic Development Agency—As a result of AB 1 X 26,the State of California dissolved all local Redevelopment Agencies in the state. The impact on most cities has been a significant reduction on community redevelopment, but more importantly, has required cities, including the City of San Bernardino,to expend significant resources to facilitate the dissolution process. In addition, in many instances,the process as administered by the California Department of Finance has impaired the anticipated wind-down process of cities. The City of San Bernardino has encountered numerous problems in requesting and receiving approval for costs associated with the former Economic Development Agency. Specific to the City was the rejection of Economic Development Agency debt, requiring the City to assume payments. The 1999 Certificates of Participation(COPS) debt obligations for South Valle/201 Building,with annual debt service of$637,000 were deemed ineligible obligations for EDA. In addition,the borrowing of$1.6 million from a City administered fund by the EDA was determined by the State of California to be ineligible obligation, resulting in$2.8 million of debt being assumed by the General Fund. Measure Z District Tax As discussed previously,the Measure Z revenues are estimated to be higher than the budget estimates by$305,000. Measure Z expenditures are fully utilized by the Police Department and are assumed as part of the Department's$56.7 million budget. Other Funds Based on the updated projection for revenue and expenditure for all other funds,the ending balance at June 30, 2014 appears to be on target to what was estimated in the fiscal year 2013-2014 adopted budget. Capital Project Funds Hazard Mitigation Plan update:(20 16) 93 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Budgeted Public Works projects, in the amount of$13,601,421 will be completed on schedule. Internal Service Funds The City utilizes Internal Service Funds to manage and pay common costs for City departments. These funds include Utilities,Telecommunications, IT,Workers Compensation, Unemployment Insurance, General Liability and Fleet Services. Under this process,the cost is paid by a single managing department,which is,passed through to the end user department via internal charges. The City staff is currently working on the allocation methodology for the Internal Service Funds. Currently,costs are allocated based on budgeted amounts,which may not fully pass costs along to receiving departments.Specifically,costs for Utilities,Workers Compensation, and General Liability have not been fully assigned to City departments. The fiscal impact is that certain departments may not be aware of or paying,the true cost of operating its department. Workers Compensation and Liability Funds Due to Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) accounting rules,the City is required to show all of the City's unfunded liability for potential claims and judgments in both funds (in essence what the amounts would be if every potential claim and judgment had to be paid at one time). As a result of the above-mentioned reporting requirements, as presented in the Adopted Budget,these funds have significant deficit balances.

Mitigation tr i 6.1. Litigation Overview The City of San Bernardino Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (2005)focused on integrating the LLHMP with the City General Plan goals and policies as well as incorporating specific flood mitigation projects that were programmed for completion over the five (5)year period.The Plan did not clearly identify mitigation projects the City would focus on for all priority hazards identified in the plan. However,the City has been very active and engaged in implementing and supporting projects and programs designed to reduce and/or eliminate risk in the City.The list of projects in Section 6.2 represents the activities that the City has undertaken and/or supported to reduce the risks from wildfire,earthquake and flood hazards. a . Mitigation 5 Year Progress Report This section serves to identify the completed and on-going actions and projects in the City. Wildfire Mountain Area Safety Taskforce(MAST) Complete Since 2004, MAST members have significantly reduced the fire hazard in the San Bernardino National Forest and neighboring jurisdictions, removing more than 1.5 million dead, dying or diseased trees, more than half of them on private property. Dead and dying trees pose an extreme fire danger, and MAST members began removing these trees under state and federal grants, including a $70 million grant from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. The MAST mission has expanded to include reducing green fuel by thinning live trees in densely wooded areas. Property owners also are being urged to thin the live trees and vegetation on their property to gain an upper hand on the bark beetle infestation and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires like the Grand Prix and Old fires in 2003. Other MAST Achievements include: Increasing awareness of the drought-related bark beetle emergency and the threat of catastrophic wildfires Distributing fire safety and prevention information to the public Developing evacuation plans and distributing emergency planning information to the public It Developing commercial use or disposal options for waste wood products. Cal Fire Complete Numerous fuels projects have been completed by State inmate crews that do significant handwork in dense fuels adjacent to communities. Cal Fire has also led the way in countless re-forestation projects Hazard Mitigation Plan Update:(201 6) 95 2016-209 City of Sari Bernardino that ensure that new stands of the same trees will repopulate an area and that the original forest will not be overtaken by a different type of replacement forest. Wood Shake Roof Replacement On-Going The City has an ordinance that requires the replacement of wood shake roofs with greater than 25% damage.All new construction in the City requires roofs with at least a Class A Fire Retardant rating. Foothill Fire Zones Hazard Abatement On-Going The Fire Hazard Abatement portion of the City Code was completely rewritten and redesigned around real flammable fuels.The most significant change was to include certain types of green fuels as flammable vegetation and the requirement to maintain the defensible space around structures in the Zone. Inland Empire Fire Safe Alliance(IEFSA) Complete IEFSA has held bimonthly meetings for over 5 years and have been the focal point for all regional Fire Safe Councils including some from Riverside County.They have also held numerous workshops and seminars regarding fire resistive construction, and materials, BAER reports,CWPPs and grant writing. The IEFSA was the focal point for FSCs that were working on completing their CWPPs and created a focus group and a steering committee to accomplish these critical plans.To support public education and involvement, IEFSA created the web site www.fireinformation.com as well as participated in countless safety fairs and fire wise awareness activities.They also conducted a Public Education Media Exchange where all FSC and Agencies got together to share educational modalities and create common thought and educational threads.They have reached out to thousands of mountain residents in preparing them for wildfires. Public Education Programs On-going The City through MAST conducted a comprehensive mountain-wide multi-modality Public Outreach Program from 2006 to 2008. It can be found at www. aiMAST.or .The program in both English and Spanish created and presented multiple public educational meetings, newsletters, brochures, calendars, and posters. Because of the large number of visitors to the forest, MAST also created Emergency Information Visitors brochure and glove box sized Emergency Response Evacuation maps for the mountain communities.The program won national awards for advertising and public relations. Other jurisdictions initiated their own public education activities but brought them back through MAST so that the entire group could receive the benefit. Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) Implementation Complete Emergency service agencies like the Sheriff's Office have implemented TENS on numerous occasions to notify residents in specified areas to evacuate. Most recently, it was used to evacuate hundreds of homes in the eastern portion of Yucaipa during the Pendleton Fire and in Wrightwood during the Sheep Fire when the entire community was ordered evacuated. Hazard Mitigation Pfair;Update(2016) 96 2016-209 City of San Bernardino Emergency Communications Services (ECS) On-going The ECS program provides amateur radio communications support to the City in the event of a significant or catastrophic event.The program is being reformed through the CERT groups in the City and with the assistance of the City Emergency Communications Services. Earthquake/Geologic Hazards Geologic Hazard Mitigation Goal Completed A General Plan Amendment to the Safety Element of the City of San Bernardino 2005 General Plan updated the Geologic Hazard Overlay Maps that became effective on November 1, 2005.The Safety Element includes several layers of hazard overlays that are included in the General Plan mapping system to inform the public of potential hazards to development of property within certain areas of the City and to enable the City to mitigate the risks presented to property owners by these hazards.These overlays include potential geologic hazards. Over the past twenty years,certain federal and state agencies have been in the process of digitizing much of this hazard data.The digitization of this data has allowed for greater accuracy as well as more timely updates. In recognition of the new data from various federal and state agencies,the City updated the geologic hazard overlay maps,specifically the Generalized Liquefaction Susceptibility layer and the Generalized Landslide Susceptibility layer, contained within the Safety Element of the General Plan. Flood Flood Hazard Mitigation Goal Complete A General Plan Amendment to the Safety Element of the City of San Bernardino 2005 General Plan amended the Flood Plain Overlay District,which became effective November 1,2005.The Safety Element includes several layers of hazard overlays that are included in the General Plan mapping system to inform the public of potential hazards to development of property within certain areas of the City and to enable the City to mitigate the risks presented to property owners by these hazards.These overlays include potential flood hazards.

Mitigation Priorities Prioritization r A general description of the methodology used to review potential mitigation projects and to establish priorities for inclusion in this plan was presented in Section 3.6. In addition to following the STAPLEE process and reviewing each potential project based on the criteria presented.the City also utilized existing prioritization processed previously established on a City-wide basis for wildfire and flood projects.Those processes are described below. Wildfire Mountain Area Safety Taskforce The Mountain Area Safety Taskforce(MAST) Operations Section meets monthly. MAST Ops Section determines project priorities based on the benefit cost analysis of the projects and the effect of the project on the overall goals of the MAST organization. Goals can change as detailed Benefit Cost Analysis is conducted and CEQA/NEPA reviews are completed. MAST priorities are to continue reducing fire hazards through fuel reduction programs and hazard abatement though enforcement of City ordinances. MAST is the central point of coordination for all projects related to the reduction of the potential for catastrophic wildfires.There are numerous participants and all levels of government. MAST partners collaborate to provide multi-agency technical support to ensure project success. Economic impacts are considered and the result has been significant increase in economic activity through thoughtful application of grant funding. MAST has been so successful in the environmental management of projects that all of the local environmental groups including national affiliates are now supporters of MAST fuels projects. Project Prioritization The task of determining local project priority is the responsibility of the City Public Works Department staff on coordination with the Count Flood Control District.The City of San Bernardino is represented one the Zone Committee covering the City by the Mayor. .The Zone committee is formed of spirited citizens and public officials with unselfish and devoted interests,organized to meet annually or on call to afford recommendations to the City Council on matters of tax levies, budgets,work programs, priority of projects,ventures and other counsel.The Mayor of each incorporated city in the District is a committee member with full standing for the appropriate zone.

Monitoring, Evaluating and Updating the Plan The City of San Bernardino Police Department is the custodian of the LHMP. As such,the Emergency Operations Manager within the Police Department is responsible for tracking mitigation project status, documenting changes to the identified risks and threats to the City, and notifying Planning Team members of additions,subtractions, and/or changes to the LHMP. The Manager is also responsible for ensuring the LHMP is updated internally annually,the local Planning Team meets annually, and the LHMP, as amended, is submitted to CaIOES/FEMA for approval on a five year cycle. The five year update will follow FEMA guidelines for developing the changes and updates to the LHMP. In the 2005 LHMP,the City of San Bernardino indicated that the LHMP would be reviewed annually. Although no formal meetings were held,staff reviewed the plan annually and collected new hazard mitigation information and mitigation efforts throughout the City.Additionally, staff referenced/reviewed the LHMP before submitting grant applications to ensure the project was captured in the plan when applying for all grants to assist their mitigation efforts. There are three (3) main components to the LHMP: hazards, projects, and stakeholder involvement (public, as well as, City staff).The City has focused on these components and over the last 5 years and made steady improvements in all areas.The City participated in and facilitated several meetings and established several tasks forces to help advance the understanding of hazards in the community.This information was shared with other City personnel and the general public. City staff believes that this sharing of information leads to a more informed community,thus a more robust LHMP. City Departments track the status of the projects through the entire life cycle from concept to completion. Projects in progress are tracked to ensure all milestones are met and payments are made in a timely manner. Each year proposed projects are reviewed during budget development every spring and selected projects are submitted for funding to the appropriate funding source.These funding sources include but are not limited to grant funding, General Fund funding,and Special District funding. Because the LHMP is a living document that reflects ongoing hazard mitigation activities,the process of monitoring,evaluating, and updating will be critical to the effectiveness of hazard mitigation within the City.The City will annually hold internal planning meetings to discuss current projects and evaluate newly proposed projects resulting from internal staff meetings and input from the public. The results of these Departmental meetings will be presented to the Local Planning Team meetings at their annual meetings. To facilitate the Local Hazard Mitigation Planning process, police Department is proposing to conduct these annual meeting with the City Planning Team where the Team Members will discuss the projects, priorities, and goals in the current plan and from individual Department meetings and suggest any necessary changes. Results of the annual meeting will be retained and compiled for the 2020 update. Hazard Mitigation PLm Update(20161 2016-209 City of Sian Bernardino The City Planning Team will continue to support focused outreach for all Departments as well as support City-wide activities. Hazard Mitigation Planning will be coordinated with surrounding jurisdictions to ensure mitigation goals and projects are mutually beneficial to all. 7.2. Implementation through Existing Programs The knowledge gained from the LHMP has helped the city enhance other planning efforts. One of the biggest results from the 2005 LHMP efforts was the incorporation of the LHMP into the 2005 General Plan's Safety Element.This merging of plans has help ensure development decisions are considering the most recent hazard information. It is the city's intent to incorporate by reference the updated LHMP into the City General Plan upon approval from FEMA. The LHMP has also led to the strengthening and improvement of several City Ordinances,which are designed to ensure proper fuels reduction was completed in the Severe Fire Hazard Zones. The LHMP goals and actions will be incorporated into various general operations of government. For example, much of the information from the LHMP will be included in the City Emergency Operation Plan (EOP).As any future City plans are developed,the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan will be a great asset in any plan development efforts.As noted earlier, much of the information contained in this LHMP is from the City General Plan and is already part of the planning process. Additional benefit is gained from the City reviewing existing mitigation projects and development of additional mitigation projects at their internal annual Planning Team meetings. This input includes comments and suggestions from the public as well as from the internal planning process of each City department. 7. . Continued Public Involvement As indicated earlier,the City has taken many steps to engage the general public. In addition to the City of San Bernardino City Council meetings,the actions include: Municipal Advisory Communities throughout the City area, Flood Zone Advisor Committees, Public hearings for City General Plan updates held four times a year, MAST meetings, Community Emergency Response Team meetings, and Public events where educational efforts are undertaken in the City. Additionally,the public will be kept involved through annual programs such as the Great Shakeout held annually in October,SKY Warn events sponsored by the National Weather Service, and other monthly safety programs.The City will continue to use several different methods to reach out to the public: mailers,cable TV,website,social networks, e-mail, posting in public libraries, and fairs.

The plan will address the following areas: 1) Description, Purpose &Community Information, 2) Jurisdictional Participation Information, 3) Planning Process Documentation and Public Involvement,4) Risk Assessment,5) Mitigation Strategy, and 6) Plan Maintenance for past and current hazard projects. These areas need to be addressed,revised and updated before funds can be allocated from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help with prevention and the aftermath of emergencies and disasters within our city/county areas. The City of Son Bernardino has developed this Hazard Mitigation Plan,in response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000,Section 322 (a-d). This is a multiparty effort between The City of Son Bernardino,who has prepared this Hazard Mitigation Plan in accordance with FEMA, the State of California Office of Emergency Services, and the Son Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services to reduce or eliminate losses of life and property from emergencies and disasters. Hazard mitigation ensures that costly cycles of paying recovery costs to recover from the same types of disasters year after year are broken and that post-disaster repairs and reconstruction result in a reduction in hazard vulnerability. While we cannot prevent disasters from happening,those efforts can be reduced or eliminated through a well-organized public education, and awareness effort, along with preventative and preparedness methods and mitigation strategies.
