Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino Approving
and Adopting the City's Updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) and Authorizing
Submittal of the LHMP to the Regional Federal Emergency Management Agency Office.
(#4621)
Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable
Financial Impact:
None - There is no financial impact to the City. However, if the City does not adopt a
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, the City will not be eligible for future Federal and State
disaster mitigation funds.
Motion: Adopt the Resolution.
Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
March 23, 2005 Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
Bernardino adopting the City of San Bernardino's Hazard Mitigation
Plan Adopted.
Background:
In 2000, Federal Emergency Management Agency (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. (Attachment
A).
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 LHMP is an update of the City of
San Bernardino Hazard Mitigation Plan 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. (Resolution NO. 2005-63).

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 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.
FEMA is requiring local jurisdictions to develop a LHMP in order to mitigate future
disasters and reduce repetitive Federal and State claims for similar disasters in the
same location. FEMA has indicated that jurisdictions without a Hazard Mitigation Plan
approved by FEMA and adopted by local governing body will be ineligible for future pre-
and-post disaster mitigation funds.
This LHMP was prepared in accordance with FEMA and State of California guidelines.
While under contract with the City of San Bernardino, San Bernardino County Fire,
Office of Emergency Services revised and updated the LHMP. (Resolution NO. 2014-
9).
FEMA completed the review of the LHMP Update. A conditional approval letter was
received, dated June 29, 2016. FEMA has determined that this plan is eligible for final
approval pending its adoption by the City of San Bernardino. The formal adoption
documentation must be submitted to the Regional office by the Jurisdiction within one
calendar year of the date of the letter, or the entire plan must be updated and
resubmitted for review. (Attachment B).

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 c
property from natural hazards." FEMA defines a "hazard" as"any event or condition with the potential a
to cause fatalities, injuries,property damage, infrastructure damage, agricultural loss, environmental a
damage, business interruption, or other loss."
v
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 o
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 0
able to develop common goals and objectives for mitigation efforts. The individual stakeholders can Q
then take the goals and objectives back to their individual Special Districts for discussion, ranking and LL
project development, and then bring the resulting projects back to the Local Planning Team. The Local s
Planning Team can then integrate all projects into the appropriate project listing to be acted upon by 3
H
the most appropriate special District for the listed project. U.
a
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- Z
disaster conditions sometimes result in feeding the disaster cycle;damage,reconstruction,and repeated
0
damage. Mitigation is one of the primary phases of emergency management specifically dedicated to =
v
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. °
m
Mitigation generally involves alteration of physical environments,significantly reducing risks and vulnerability
CU
to hazards by altering the built environment so that life and property losses can be avoided or reduced. m
0
Mitigation also makes it easier and less expensive to respond to and recover from disasters. r
U
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 (L_
Management Assistance) aimed to reduce and/or eliminate risk. °
Em
1.2. Authority
E
L
In 2000, FEMA adopted revisions to the Code of Federal Regulations.This revision is known as"Disaster N
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 c
process for assessing hazards,risks and vulnerabilities,identifying and prioritizing mitigation actions,and o
U
engaging/soliciting input from the community(public),key stakeholders,and adjacent jurisdictions/agencies.

1.3. Community Profile a
Physical Setting o
L
The City is bounded by the City of Highland on the east,the San Manuel Indian Reservation and the San a
Bernardino National Forest on the north,the Cities of Rialto and Fontana on the west,and the cities of Q
Redlands, Loma Linda,and Colton on the south. N
v
The City of San Bernardino covers 59.7 square miles and is geographically the fourth largest city in the c
County of San Bernardino. The City lies in the San Bernardino foothills and the eastern portion of the °
U
San Bernardino Valley, roughly 60 miles (97 km) east of Los Angeles. Some major geographical features m
of the City include the San Bernardino Mountains,the San Bernardino National Forest, in which the v
city's northernmost neighborhood, Arrowhead Springs, is located, and the Cajon Pass adjacent to the 't
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. 3
U_
San Bernardino is unique among Southern Californian cities because of its wealth of water,which is o
mostly contained in underground aquifers. A large part of the city is over the Bunker Hill Groundwater Q
Basin, including downtown.This fact accounts for a historically high water table in portions of the city, ?
U.
including at the former Urbita Springs, a lake that no longer exists and is now the site of the Inland 0
c
Center Mall.Seccombe Lake, named after a former mayor, is a manmade lake at Sierra Way and 5th a
Street.The San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District ("Muni") has plans to build two more large, c
multi-acre lakes north and south of historic downtown in order to reduce groundwater, mitigate the m
risks of liquefaction in a future earthquake, and sell the valuable water to neighboring agencies.[citation M

r
The City has several notable hills and mountains; among them are: Perris Hill (named after Fred Perris, v
an early engineer,and the namesake of Perris, California); Kendall Hill (which is near California State M
a
University); and Little Mountain, which rises among Shandin Hills (generally bounded by Sierra Way,
c
30th Street, Kendall Drive, and Interstate 215). o
2M
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 o
freeway connector between State Route 210 and 1-215.The Santa Ana River originates in the San 2
Bernardino Mountains and flows southwest to the ocean.The Santa Ana Watershed includes streams
L
flowing south from the San Gabriel Mountains and streams flowing north and west from the San Jacinto
r
Mountains in Riverside County. °

The neighborhoods of San Bernardino are not commonly named.Some reflect geographical regions that Q
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 o
and Highland, Mountain and Arden Avenues. Delmann Heights is the area north of Highland Avenue,west C
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
y
Avenue.The city also contains the post office for Patton,California,the area coextensive with Patton o
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 o
Loma Linda is the area west of Mountain View Acres(the border with Redlands),south of the Santa Ana v
Q
River, north of the San Bernardino Freeway(1-10), and east of Tippecanoe Avenue.The area north of
W
Northpark Boulevard from University Parkway to Electric Avenue,and the area north of 40th Street from t
Electric Avenue to Harrison Street is called Newberry Farms.The area west of University Parkway and 3
north of Kendall Drive to the north city area is called Verdemont.The "Bench" or"Rialto Bench" refers to U.
the area with Rialto mailing addresses between Foothill Boulevard and Base Line Street. o
J
San Bernardino is divided into several districts. Many hotels, restaurants, and retail establishments have z
been built around Hospitality Lane in the southern part of the city,creating an informal business district. U_
Downtown is its own district with shopping and government buildings. In the foothills of the San
E
Bernardino Mountains lies the University District,which is a commercial area designed to support the c
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 m
to take advantage of this important connection between Southern California and the rest of the United cn
States.On the opposite side of the city is the San Bernardino International Gateway,which encompasses °
T
the San Bernardino International Airport(SBD)and the Alliance California Logistics campus(air cargo hub). v
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 a
c
people between Southern California and the rest of the United States. .
a�
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
M
the downtown district with period streetlights and street furniture, historic homes and other structures,a N
new museum,coffee bars and, a Mercado(market)with an architectural style in keeping with the Mission =
Revival station. o

History a
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 m
has not been confirmed. In the past three thousand years,various Indian tribes flourished in the area: in
the Gabrielenos occupied the West Valley;the Serranos lived in the foothills of the San Bernardino 0
Mountains;the Vanyumes lived along the Mojave River;the Mohave lived along the Colorado River; and w
U
the Chemehuevi occupied the Mojave Desert.
n.
The first European explorers to enter the area were Pedro Fages, Military Commander of California, in o
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
L
the nearby mountain range, and later the city and county. N
x
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 0
r
group of settlers into San Bernardino and founded a Mormon Colony. In 1851,the Mormon Colony
purchased the Rancho from the Lugo family. L
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. m

In 1857,three orange trees were set out on a farm in Old San Bernardino. By 1882, a rail car load of
Q
oranges and lemons grown in the East Valley was shipped to Denver, Colorado.As early as the 1840s, 'a
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. 0

In 1860,gold was discovered in Holcomb and Bear Valleys in the San Bernardino Mountains, and placer a
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.

U
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 LL
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 ll. 3
LL
During World War Il, 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, z
exploration has outlined potential large tonnage molybdenum properties in the New York and Ord o
Mountains,copper in the Cooper Basin area of the Whipple Mountains and gold in the Clark Mountains.
L
After World War Il,the citrus industry slowly declined. However, dairies relocating out of Los Angeles
L
County settled in the Chino Valley area,creating a robust dairy industry that included the City of San m
Bernardino. Elsewhere in the Valley region,suburbs grew as moderate priced housing developments were in
4-
built. By the late 1980's,the city had grown into a bedroom community and warehousing center for
r
southern California. v

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, N
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, R
c
snow flurries occur upon occasion.San Bernardino gets an average of 16 inches (406 mm) of rain, hail, 2
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.
The seasonal Santa Ana winds are felt particularly strongly in the San Bernardino area as warm and dry '
air is channeled through nearby Cajon Pass at times during the autumn months.This phenomenon

Section 3. Planning Process
3.1. Preparing for the Plan o
L
Local Hazard Mitigation Planning is a process State,Tribal, and local governments use to identify risks a.
CL
and vulnerabilities associated with natural disasters, and to develop long-term strategies for protecting a
people and property from future hazard events.
v
Planning creates a way to solicit and consider input from diverse interests. Involving stakeholders is v,
c
essential to building community-wide support for the plan. In addition to emergency managers,the .o_
planning process involves other government agencies(e.g.,zoning,floodplain management, public works, P
L
community,and economic development), businesses, civic groups, environmental groups,and schools. o
U
Q
To assist with the updating of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), a Local Planning Team (Planning
w
Team)was established.The Planning Team was the lynchpin for all activities to update the LHMP.The U.
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 LL
affected by the plan or could provide great benefit to the team. Members of the Planning Team are
0
from City of San Bernardino Departments,with technical assistance provided by the San Bernardino _J
County Fire Department Office of Emergency Services. z
W
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
c
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 m
where discussions occurred, input sought, and potential projects developed and ranked for each of the cn
Planning Team identified risks and projects relevant to the Department. The Planning Team members o
then returned to the Local Planning Team and provided the Planning Team with their vetted, prioritized U
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 a
C
then be able to apply for grant funding for their prioritized projects without interference from another 1
CU
participating jurisdiction as funding became available. 21
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 N
activates.This effort included proving technical support, establishing a platform to encourage the =
M
exchange of ideas, and help coordination among Departments.The Project Manager was responsible for o
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
75
aspect of the LHMP requirements were being met and could be found in the appropriate sections in the
updated LHMP.

The Planning Team reviewed this sample TOC and incorporated elements into the City's LHMP update Q
efforts. Using the TOC,the Planning Team decided to conduct a section by section; page by page review
c
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 o
CL
section revised. a

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, o
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 v
to the next meeting. g

a_
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 3
earthquakes, and provide suggestions for updating the LHMP.The Planning Team then reviewed the LL
a
update information and validated/identified Goals, Objectives, and Projects.This step included o
discussion of how the projects would be prioritized. a

Project prioritization involved comprehensive consideration of
criteria/factors.

While there is not a standard process followed by each of City of San Bernardino Departments they all m
considered social,technological, administrative, political, legal, economic, and environmental factors.
The City department representatives participated on the Planning Team then took the risks, goals, o
objectives and projects back to their respective departments for discussion and vetting. After vetting, w
U
the individual Planning Team members returned to the Planning Team where the individual materials c
were combined into a single Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. This effort resulted in goals, objectives and a-
projects for all participants being listed under the appropriate hazard sections and not by individual o
participants. This reflects the overall City philosophy of allowing the department with the most c
expertise to suggest and/or manage a project that may affect another department who does not have
expertise in the hazard. -E

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 R
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.

L
Public involvement was solicited throughout the process. Since the 2005 LHMP approval,the City took a
several steps to educate the public on the hazards facing the City and had several public forums where a
mitigation projects were discussed and identified.At all events, public opinion and comments are N
solicited.
The Planning Team also considered the possibility of including public members on the Planning Team. o
However, because of the size of the City and the volume of possibilities, it was determined that having L
the Planning Team members liaison with the public would better serve and capture the public interest. 0
Q
During this process,the City also used several platforms to reach out and inform the public of the LHMP w
update.Wherever possible, a joint effort was made by the Planning Team members to include t
r
discussion for each Department's hazards,goals, and objectives. These joint meetings resulted in joint 3
leverage of the planning effort and a resulting joint benefit of goals/objectives, and project development Q
for the LHMP development. Public Involvement consisted of meetings for City Departments that gave o
the public the direct opportunity to comment on the City LHMP, meetings of City Department advisory a
committees where hazard specific information and possible projects were discussed, updates on the City z
U-
website, press releases regarding the LHMP, and public hearing regarding the LHMP. All participants o
collectively supported the following public outreach meetings. Below is a summary list of the public

3.4. Assess the Hazard >
0
L
C.
As discussed,the planning process was organized around the Table of Content (TOC). One of the main Q-
a
sections in the TOC is Risk Assessment.The Risk Assessment section include four(4) basic step; 1) hazard
r
identification and screening; 2) hazard profiling; 3) hazard exposure; and,4) hazard vulnerability.The v
Project Manager,working with the Planning Team,facilitated discussions around these steps. y
0
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
0
both adding and removing of hazards to develop a list of potential natural hazards in the community. v
The Planning Team utilized several sources to ensure they were considering all potential hazards.A
w
summary of the list of material reviewed is:the 2005 City of San Bernardino Operational Area LHMP,the u_
t
State of California LHMP, FEMA"How-to Guides," and several surround community LHMPs.After the list 3
of potential hazards in the community is generated, the hazards were screened. LL
a
The intent of screening of hazards is to help prioritize which hazard creates the greatest concern in the p
community. Because the 2005 LHMP process used to rank hazards (Critical Priority Risk Index(CPRI) Q
software) is not being utilized again, an alternative approach was implemented. U.
0
c
The Planning Team agreed to utilize a non-numerical ranking system for the LHMP update process.This
Ir process consists of generating a qualitative ranking(High, Medium,or Low) rating for: 1) probability;
L
and, 2) impact from each hazard.To further assist with the process,the following definition of"High", m
"Medium", and "Low" probability and impacts are being provided (NOTE: these definitions we utilized in
the 2005 LHMP process): c
Probability tv
High- Highly Likely/Likely c=c
Medium- Possible a
c
Low- Unlikely °
0
ai
Impact
High- Catastrophic/Critical
N
Medium- Limited cNn
Low- Negligible
c
0
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. y

reports to better help the Planning Team and the community understand the hazard. c
CD
M
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 U)
Planning Team will use HAZUS and a recent project completed within City of San Bernardino to produce 0,
w
this information. U

3.5. Set Goals o
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 R
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 0
0
community is potentially facing,the Planning Team then re-evaluated the 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation 0
Plan Goals and Objectives; assessed their status and effectiveness in meeting the 2005 Mitigation La
•�
Measures and identified new Goals and Objectives.
3
As part of this process,the Planning Team also reviewed the City's General Plan,the State of California 2
LHMP,the SB County Operational Area LHMP, Floodplain Management Plans,Task Force After Action,

o
and/or documents,and adjacent local jurisdiction LHMPs to ensure the Goals and Objectives were
a
comprehensive and compatible.
m
3.6. Review and Propose Mitigation Measures o
C.
After the Goals and Objectives were established,the Planning Team then turned to identifying projects Q
under each Goal and Objective that could be implemented to help reduce and/or eliminate the impacts N
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 c
were not completed the Planning Team validated whether or not the project was necessary. °
r
d
With a firm understanding of past accomplishments and a good understanding of the potential exposure o
and scenario impacts from the Risk Assessment section,the Planning Team then started to identify v
a
projects that will help reduce and/or eliminate the risk for the high priority hazards.Again, a two-layer W
W
approach was used. The Planning Team as a whole identified common projects. These common s
projects were then coordinated internally by the Special Districts and the City to develop a common list 3
of projects. After a list of all possible projects has been identified,the Planning Team then went through Q
the process of prioritizing the projects. o
J
To assist with this effort the Planning Team adopted the STAPLEE methodology.STAPLEE stands for: z
U_
Social—The public must support the overall implementation strategy and specific mitigation o
c
actions.Therefore,the projects will have to be evaluated in terms of community acceptance. v
■ 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 m
alternative action is a whole or partial solution, or not a solution at all. N
■ Administrative—Under this part of the evaluation criteria, examine the anticipated staffing, o
funding, and maintenance requirements for the mitigation action to determine if the v
jurisdiction/special district has the personnel and administrative capabilities necessary to
implement the action or whether outside help will be needed a
i =
■ Political—Understanding how your current community and State political leadership feels about °
�o
issues related to the environment, economic development, safety, and emergency
w
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 R
N
because of a lack of political acceptability. t°
x
■ 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 °
U
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 s

City of San Bernardino
Q.
0
later in the process when your State,or community will have to determine how mitigation 'a
a
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. 0 CL
Cost-effective mitigation actions that can be funded in current or upcoming budget cycles are a
Q
much more likely to be implemented than mitigation actions requiring general obligation bonds
N
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- o
scale acquisitions and relocation, are often considered for implementation in a post-disaster L
scenario when additional Federal and State funding for mitigation is available. 0
• Environmental–Impact on the environment is an important consideration because of public
desire for sustainable and environmentally healthy communities and the many statutory w
U_
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 3
consequences to environmental assets such as threatened and endangered species, wetlands, Q
and other protected natural resources. p
J
Q
In addition to the STAPLEE methodology,the Planning Team incorporated other criteria/factor questions Z
U_
into the process to help engage and solicit input from members. Examples of these criteria/factor 0
questions are: `a
• L
Does the Action: m
• Solve the problem? m
• Address Vulnerability Assessment? in
• Reduce the exposure or vulnerability to the highest priority hazard? 0
• a

3.7. Draft the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
0
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
0
LHMP as a starting point but revised it to reflect updated information and the new Table of Content v
(TOC).The proposed TOC is closely related to the 2005 LHMP format but there are slight differences.
w
The Planning Team deemed this revision prudent and felt that it provided a better format of the LHMP U-
update. In addition to the TOC,the Planning Team also uses the FEMA Guidance and materials provided 3
by the County Fire Department Office of Emergency Services.This material aided in the Planning Team's LL
understanding of the level of detail and type of information that is excepting in each section. <
0
This process started with the City Departments providing information to the Planning Team through Q
their liaison on the Planning Team. After the Planning Team ranked and prioritized the materials,the 9
liaisons returned to their respective Departments to vet the Planning Team's work. The Planning Team 0
then worked together with the vetted materials to produce the draft LHMP.As mentioned earlier, each
0
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 °0
c
entire LHMP.The Planning Team Project Manager was responsible for version control and distribution of in
the final LHMP for review. c
Once the LHMP update was drafted,the Planning Team provided opportunities for the public to review v
and comment on the plan.After the public comment period was closed,the Planning Team finalized the
a
plan and forwarded to Cal OES and FEMA for approval. o
3.8. Adopt the 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 y
L
San Bernardino City Council to ensure the LHMP update remains a part of the City of San Bernardino

Section 4. Risk Assessment a
c
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 °
CL
to assist with recovery. However, mitigation should be based on an assessment of the risk.
Q
This Risk Assessment Section evaluates the potential loss from a hazard event by assessing the m
II 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 o
area assets. Our Risk Assessment approach consists of four(4) components:
d
L
Hazard identification—Identification and screening of hazards (Section 4.1) v
• Hazard profile—Review of historic occurrences and assessment of the potential for future
events (Section 4.2) LL
• Asset inventory—Identification of exposed buildings, infrastructure and population (Section 4.3)
3
• Vulnerability assessment—Determination of potential losses or impacts to buildings,
infrastructure and population (Section 4.4) <

Hazard Assessment Matrix
N
0
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)
L
software)was not utilized for the LHMP update, an alternative approach was used. tv
a
The Planning Team implemented a qualitative ranking system for the LHMP update process; a non- w
numerical rating(High, Medium, or Low)was determined for both the 1) probability and 2) expected
impact from each screened hazard. 3
E-
U_
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. z

N
Wildfire: Probability—High, Impact-Medium v
Wildfires present a significant potential for disaster in City of San Bernardino, a region with relatively o
high temperatures, low humidity, and low precipitation during the summer,followed by a fall
0
season that includes high velocity,very dry"Santa Ana" winds. Between 2005 and 2013, 1966 L
0
wildfires burned over 3309 acres in City of San Bernardino. Wildfires have the potential to cause v
significant damage and potential loss of life, as demonstrated by the 2003 Old Fire that resulted in g
W
$16.8 million in damage and one fatality,the total number of fire whose costs, including both u_
property loss and fire suppression,totaled more than $1.8 million.The Planning Team agreed that 3
the probability of future wildfire events was High,with the potential for very significant impacts. LL
a
Flood: Probability—High, Impact—High o
J
Destructive flooding is a common occurrence in City of San Bernardino; severe storms and heavy z
rainfall have caused 20 flood events since 2005. Most of the City has the potential for flooding, as U.

shown by the Flood Hazard Areas mapped by FEMA in the recently updated Flood Insurance Rate
�a
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 m
that the Probability of future flood events is High,with the potential for very significant (High)
impacts. rn

Earthquake/Geologic Hazards: Probability—High, Impact—High u_
0
The City lies in a seismically active region of southern California that has been subjected to
earthquakes in the past and will be subject to earthquakes in the future. Numerous known active
and potentially active faults traverse the City.An earthquake occurring on one or more of these m
faults is perhaps the most threatening geologic hazard to the City with respect to life and property in
loss. Seismic hazards resulting from earthquakes include ground shaking,ground surface rupture, o
landslides and slope instability, liquefaction, differential seismic settlement, seiche, and dam
v
inundation. c
Il `�
a
The probability of a significant(M6.7 or greater) earthquake occurring in Southern California in the o
next 30 years has been estimated to be 97% by the 2007 California Working Group on Earthquake
ProbabilitiesZ, 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 N
M
of San Bernardino is expected to exceed $13 billion (see Section 4.4 for additional information on x
the ShakeOut and other earthquake scenarios modeled for the risk assessment).Accordingly,the c
Planning Team agreed that the probability of future earthquake events is High,with the potential for
catastrophic impacts. a

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 to
failure of a full capacity dam, (highest level was 43,000-acre feet or less than 1/3 capacity in 2005). 0

Q
Future infestation issues were determined by the Planning Team to be possible(Low),with the
T
impact generally expected to be low(Low Impact). N
Drought:Probability—Medium, Impact—Medium =
0
Drought emergencies have been declared in California as recently as 2009, but have primarily
CD
affected agricultural areas of the Central Valley. .There were no significant drought events in City of o
San Bernardino between 2005 and 2013.The Planning Team decided that while the potential for v
a
future drought events was Medium,the local impact of drought is expected to be limited (Medium M
W
Impact).
High Winds/Straight Line Winds: Probability—High, Impact—Low
LL
Straight-line winds are any winds not associated with the rotation of a tornado. Straight-line winds o
are responsible for most thunderstorm wind damage3. Straight-line winds can exceed 125 mph, and Q
knock down trees and power lines. Damaging high wind events occurred in the City in 2007,when z
high winds and thunderstorms brought down trees and fences, and in 2010,when straight-line o
winds exceeding 60 miles per hour felled trees and damaged power lines.
L
�Q
Another type of high winds are the "Santa Ana"winds,which commonly occur between October
m
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 cn
Basin 4.The most significant hazard associated with Santa Ana winds is an increased wildfire danger, T
but Santa Ana winds can also cause downed trees and power lines, and property damage, as well as v
causing potentially hazardous conditions for aircraft and boaters.
0-
The Planning Team concluded that the probability of experiencing future damaging winds is High, o
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. g
L
Lightning: Probability—High, Impact—Medium M
Relative to most of the U.S., lightning strikes occur less frequently in Southern California,as shown in the =
R
annual lightning incidence map available from the National Weather Service(see Figure 10).The average o
lightning flash density in the City of San Bernardino area is very low, between 0.0 and 1.0 flashes per 9

L
Floods can be slow or fast rising but generally develop over a period of hours or days. Mitigation a
includes any activities that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of an emergency happening, or a
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 7
flood insurance will help reduce the amount of structural damage to structures and financial loss from o
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 0
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. LL
t
The 1%annual chance flood is the flood that has a 1%chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given 3
year and it could occur more than once in a relatively short period of time. By comparison,the 10% Q
flood (10-year flood) means that there is a 10%chance for a flood of its size to occur in any given year. o

Flash Flooding m
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. c
Flash flooding causes road and bridge washouts and erosion of earthen channels and basins when they v
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 2
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.
N

Alluvial Fan Taskforce N
In December of 2002,the California Floodplain Management Task Force Report recommended that"The
N
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 o
emphasis on alluvial fan floodplains that are being considered for development." V
Q
In September of 2004, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 2141,which LL
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 Q
Management Agency(FEMA) and a state match was authorized by Assembly Bill 466. Funding supported a
the tasks charged to the Task Force including: z
1. Review the state of knowledge regarding alluvial fan floodplains;

4. Develop local planning tools to assist local communities evaluate development on alluvial fans; and N
0
5. Prepare recommendations relating to alluvial fan floodplain management. v
_
Appointments to the Task Force by DWR Director Lester Snow represented a broad range of interests. a
Members included elected officials, represented by five Supervisors from Kern, Los Angeles, Riverside, o
San Diego, and City of San Bernardino where future alluvial fan development is projected.Appointments aH
also included representatives of the development and environmental community, local floodplain '=
managers and associated state and federal agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management -c
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 =

The City may review the development of the suite of local planning tools for pre-project screening for a
future development proposals on alluvial fans. If funding allows for the review,these planning tools may 04
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, c
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

Wildfires T

Wildfires present a significant potential for disaster in the City, a region of relatively high temperatures, N
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 o
very consistently arrive from the middle of October to the end of November. In and of themselves,these 2
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
r
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 m

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 m
v
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 g
extensive Fuels Reduction Program.The Fuels Reduction Program began with removal of dead hazardous U-
trees from areas threatening electrical transmission lines,evacuation routes,and structures within the San
3
Bernardino Mountains.As additional hazards were identified,such as green fuel load density and wood LL
shake roofs on structures within the San Bernardino Mountains, programs were developed to reduce or
eliminate the hazard.

San Bernardino has had 1,966 wildland fires between January 2005 and December 2011. Most of these 0
r
fires were held to 1 acre due to rapid response and an aggressive wildland inspection program. Our large
MA
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 c
m
$1.8 million. E

The Panorama and Old Fires all occurred in the City's mapped Very High Fire Severity Zone. Both fire Q
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 o
controlled. Fuels reduction programs reduce the potential spread of fire, upgraded Building Codes make C
structures more fire resistant, and public education prepares residents for wildfires. However,the threat

Earth u e 1 s
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 U
the earth as the huge plates that form the earth's surface move slowly over, under, and past each other.
LU
Sometimes the movement is gradual.At other times,the plates are locked together, unable to release U-
the accumulating energy.When the accumulated energy grows strong enough,the plates break free, s
causing the ground to shake. Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries where the plates meet;
3
however,some earthquakes occur in the middle of plates. <
0
Ground shaking from earthquakes can collapse buildings and bridges; disrupt gas, electric, and phone
a
service; and sometimes trigger landslides, avalanches,flash floods,fires, and huge, destructive ocean Z
U-
waves (tsunamis). Buildings with foundations resting on unconsolidated landfill and other unstable soil, c
and trailers and homes not tied to their foundations are at risk because they can be shaken off their `a
L
mountings during an earthquake.When an earthquake occurs in a populated area, it may cause deaths =
4)
and injuries and extensive property damage. m
c
Earthquakes can strike suddenly,without warning. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year and at any N
o
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 a

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 2
dangerous in the City. (California Geological Survey Special Publication 42, Interim Revision 2007, "Fault- M
Rupture Hazard Zones in California" -Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act) M

The utilities and transportation infrastructure is another significant concern for the City.Various laws,
ordinances, regulations,standards, and guidelines have been established to ensure proper and thorough
mitigation measures to decrease the effects of hazards. a

The following are two of the major utility agencies:
T
N
tD
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
0
of hazards on their electrical system. v
Q
Southern California Gas Co. (The Gas Company) has also coordinated with the City, maintains a natural w
U_
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 3
entire system is approximately$40,000,000.The Gas Company conducts annual training for the first u-
Q
responders within their service territories to teach the proper methods of responding to and working
0
with natural gas leaks.Staff from The Gas Company serves on local emergency management committees

It should be noted that the estimates of damage by building construction type are based on distributions
of expected construction type by occupancy, and are not based on building-specific data.The results are m
intended to provide a sense of relative risk across construction types, and highlight those construction
types of the greatest concern. Should building specific lists exist,these would potentially supersede the
estimates provided in the tables. r
U
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 o-
c
1990's.The Planning Division is currently in the process of re-evaluating the URM list. Re-evaluation will 0
include a field visit to each site photographing the structure and verifying the construction as unreinforced
2
masonry.There are no large publically utilized URM structures currently on the list.
E

Expected damage and functionality in the three scenario earthquakes have been estimated for those
essential facilities addressed in FEMA's SBEFRA study. Results are provided in Table 11 below. _

The City has experienced severe and widespread flooding throughout its history.Several major drainage U Q
basins have the potential to subject residents and structures to a high risk of flooding. In addition,the w
U.
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 a
zoning districts to prohibit habitable structures in floodways as defined by the federal requirements o
necessary to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.The consistent adoption of overlays is Q
needed to require special review, conditions, and the prohibition of some uses in floodplain areas (areas Z
u.
subject to 100-year floods), including dry lakes. In addition,there are land use policies and development 0
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. m

5.2. 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 o
planning.The driving document in the City of San Bernardino is the City's General Plan.The City General C
Plan provides the foundation on which all development and future programs are built upon.
N
�D
City of San Bernardino General Plan
The State of California recommends that the General Plan is updated every 10-20 years; depending =
0
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 o
Plan: V

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 w
LHMP,the City Council has adopted the LHMP as part of the City's General Plan.

The calls for emergency service in the City of San Bernardino has risen dramatically in recent years. In Q
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 o
apparatus in the City of San Bernardino are equipped with Advanced Life Support (ALS) equipment and C
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
N
that occurs within four to six minutes. 0
0
r
Because of the increase in the number of requests for services over the years(Table A),the goal of m
arriving at all medical aid requests has increased from six minutes to approximately nine minutes.As this U
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 U-
evaluation fire department performance and makes recommendations of change to meet the goals of
3
the City and fire department.This study is in progress and will be completed by June 2014. Preliminary LL
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.
J
Additional stations are also predicted to be proposed along with the addition of three to four paramedic z
squads.This study is not the first to be considered. In the City of San Bernardino Master Facilities Plan of 9-
0
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 R
services continued to climb. `m

Wildfire Programs
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, m
multi-agency cooperation and coordination as is found in City of San Bernardino.This was accomplished C
when the City Council joined the Mountain Area Safety Task Force(MAST)in 2003.Since its beginnings, it has N
4-
been the Unified Command that has successfully implemented and completed numerous programs leading 7,
r
to safer communities,a more educated public and an improved environment. U

Mountain Area Safety Taskforce MAST a
_
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,
E
residents,and property subject to the risk of catastrophic wildfire that could occur in City of San N
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: 0

City Fire Hazard Abatement 0
The Fire Department and the Fire Prevention Bureau is responsible for Fire Hazard Abatement(FHA). a
Fire Hazard Abatement works to reduce the potential for an individual's property to be the source of fire UJ
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 o
J
warrant to go onto the property and abate the fire hazard. z
U.
Wood Shake Roof Replacement 0
In November 2009,the City Council approved an amendment to the Building Code that requires that all

The Inland Empire Fire Safe Alliance (IEFSA) o
The Inland Empire Fire Safe Alliance was created to act as a forum for all Fire Safe Councils in City of San
U
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 o.
for information, resources and research; and a centralized source for sharing of updates from o
cooperating governmental agencies.There are approximately 20 Fire Safe Councils active in City of San
Bernardino.
L
Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) a
Community Wildfire Protection Plans are designed to provide a means for a community, usually through =
Ta
1 the Fire Safe Council,to have input into and actively participate in the planning, strategy, goals, and 0
0
objectives of creating a fire safe community. CWPPs are ultimately reviewed and approved by the local
=a
Fire Chief, Cal Fire, USFS, and the local City Council.The plan must include a review of structure N
L
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.

Flood S o
The flood mitigation projects are programs that were established by City of San Bernardino Flood °'
w
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 N
consisting of existing, new and future structures. In addition,these projects include revisions to local =

Alluvial Fan Task Force o
w
I 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 L
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 °
Q
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 o
Management Agency(FEMA) and a state match was authorized by Assembly Bill 466. Funding supported C
the tasks charged to the Task Force including:
N
1. Review the state of knowledge regarding alluvial fan floodplains;
2. Determine future research needs; o
3. Develop a voluntary locally adopted model ordinance for communities subject to alluvial fan m
L
flooding that supports land use decisions on alluvial fans; 0
4. Develop local planning tools to assist local communities evaluate development on alluvial fans; Q
and LL
s
5. Prepare recommendations relating to alluvial fan floodplain management. 3
LL
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,
J
San Diego and County of San Bernardino where future alluvial fan development is projected. Q
Z
Appointments also included representatives of the development and environmental community, local iy
0
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 m
Bernardino coordinated the entire process. c
M
Cn
Primarily,the purpose of the Alluvial Fan Taskforce Findings and Recommendations Report(July 2010) 0
and The Integrated Approach for Sustainable Development on Alluvial Fans (July 2010) documents are to r
U
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 a
c
development on alluvial fans. 0
P
The City may review the development of the suite of local planning tools for pre-project screening for w
future development proposals on alluvial fans. If funding allows for the review,these planning tools may
L
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 o
project development. Long term funding for updating and maintaining the pre-project screening tools 2
database is a concern regarding the reliability for current data. w
L
If funding exists,for the implementation of the Integrated Approach for Sustainable Development on r
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. E

Based on the Findings from the Alluvial Fan Task Force process, recommendations were made for Q
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: o
CL
CL
Recommendation 1: a
In November 2007, a General Plan Amendment(GPA)to the Safety Element of the 2007 General N
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 N
by FEMA as it currently exists and as updated in the future for the City allowing for automatic map o
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 o
with FEMA to continue updating flood insurance rate maps. V
Q
In addition,the GPA for the Safety Element in 0227 (a) amended the Generalized Landslide UJ
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 3
mapping published by Cal Fire; and (c) amended the Generalized Liquefaction Susceptibility layer, Q
modifying the City Liquefaction Maps. o
Recommendation 2: -�
a
The City will coordinate with the California Geological Survey(CGS) and the United States Geological z
Survey(USGS)to review any newly developed Quaternary geologic maps in alluvial fan areas in
0
order to identify potential hazards in areas projected for future development
Recommendation 4: c
L
Historical, documentation of flooding occurrences are preserved by the City and the County's Flood
m
Control District that would review the recommendation to identify flooding events that were
associated with alluvial fans. N
4-
0
Recommendation 6: r
The increased severity and intensity of wildfires in Southern California increase flood risk because v
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 a
c
of wildfires or the additional developments that would follow.The California Emergency 0
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. -0
L
All of the City of San Bernardino Flood Control Debris Basins in the valley area were analyzed after N
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 o
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
Y
USGS assessments. All Flood Control Basins are studied on an annual basis to determine existing
capacity.

post-fire debris-flow events. o
L
Recommendation 8: a
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 N
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
L
tools to be studied for use in land use planning for development on alluvial fans. O

Recommendation 10: a
If funding is provided,the City will review and propose for adoption a model ordinance tailored for LL
the specific needs of the City.

supporting the economic strategies recommended in the Integrated Approach regarding future p
maintenance of flood management infrastructure. —i

Flood Area Safety Taskforce (FAST) o
During the devastating fires in the fall of 2003,there was great concern of what the ramifications might 2
be for flooding in the burned areas, as well as in the valleys. In response to these concerns, an c
organization was established that mirrored the Mountain Area Safety Taskforce (MAST), mentioned m
above,which played a key role in minimizing damage. in
w
While the fires were ravishing the countryside, representatives from multiple agencies met often to
Y
address potential issues associated with flood, mud and debris flows develop a strategy and to protect 0
communities from flooding incidents.These agencies united together to become the Flood Area Safety M

Bankruptcy o
On August 1, 2012 the City of San Bernardino filed for Chapter 9 Bankruptcy. The paperwork was filed
L
with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Riverside Division. Shortly V
after, a Pendency Plan was put into place. A revised budget was adopted based on that Pendency Plan a
for fiscal years 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. IWi
L
After years of financial struggles and challenges from declining revenues and increased fixed costs,the 3
City is now in the position of having to make service delivery decisions and financial restructuring a U.
necessity. The continued financial imbalance between revenues and expenditures had exhausted the
0
City's general financial reserves. The financial burden resulted in obligations that exceeded the General
a
Fund resources by$45.8 in the original proposed budget for fiscal year 2012-2013. Z
U.
0
The principles built into the Pendency Plan came in different forms. This included suspension of debt
L
err. 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 `m
m
$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. w

• Deferred Capital Maintenance in Streets, Roads, Buildings, Parks and Trees of$200.0 million a
• Pension Bonds of$3.3 Million per year o
• 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 g
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 o

budgeted. Discussed below are some of the major highlights regarding General Fund revenues: m
_
�o
Property Tax revenues are estimated to be$3.1 million greater than the adopted budget. The major N
4-
reason for this increase is due to pass-thru payments and unanticipated residual tax increment from °,
r
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:
CL
_
• EDA Incremental Tax Payment, Statutory Pass-Thru of$246,000 °
• Incremental Tax Payment, Negotiated Pass-Thru of$1,386,852 9
w
• Incremental Tax Payment, Estimated Residual Balance Pass-Thru of$931,935
E
M
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 o
had adjustments both up and down, resulting in a net change of$257,501.
N
L
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. W

L
m
Fines and Penalties revenues are estimated to contribute about$345,000 less than the budget amount. m
This decrease is mainly due to parking citations and police administrative civil penalties coming in less rn

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 2
and down. The two major contributors to the net increase were an increase in mutual aid revenue,with
L
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 .o
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. N
Charges for Services revenues are expected to be lower than budgeted projections by$362,000. The

Inspection unit was integrated into the Police Department. Initially,the program was slow to be a
reinitiated. An additional contributing factor was a change in the program and required City inspections. M
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 o
0.
fee income is down. Finally,the City Clerk's Office stopped processing applications for passports, a
Q
reducing revenues by$60,000.
N
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
0
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
L
emergency hazardous materials revenues as the service has been altered. v
a
General Fund Expenditures W
General Fund expenditures are projected to be approximately$128,096,695. Including transfers-out 3
total disbursements are projected to be approximately$131,342,904. This is an increase of$11,623,967 LL
over the adopted budget amount of$119,718,937 for unanticipated costs for non-operational activities.
0
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 z
bankruptcy. In addition there was$1,370,952 of water usage charges,which resulted from a change in �0
0
the usage policies of the City and the Water Department. Debt service obligations increased in the
L
General Fund by$1,157,550 based on a requirement that this obligation could not be paid by another c
L
restricted funding source. m
c
Exclusive of these costs,the projected expenditures and transfers-out were higher than budgeted by co
$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 o
associated with professional fees,the time requirement of staff is tremendous. For fiscal year 2013- M

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 N
$7,065,300 for Fire and$2,676,108 for Police.

Fire Department Salary expense is partially offset by the SAFER Grants that were awarded to the Fire >
0
Department for fiscal years 2012-2013 through 2014-15. The first grant of$3,363,972 covered fiscal a
year 2012-2013 ($1,681,986) and fiscal year 2013-2014($1,681,986);the second amount received a
$2,145,096 covered fiscal year 2013-2014($1,072,548) and fiscal year 2014-2015 ($1,072,548). Twelve m
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
O
should this source of funding decline.

L
As in prior fiscal years,the Fire Department's budget includes costs that result from mutual aid calls. 0
U
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 �w
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
0
San Bernardino,to expend significant resources to facilitate the dissolution process. In addition, in z
many instances,the process as administered by the California Department of Finance has impaired the o
anticipated wind-down process of cities. The City of San Bernardino has encountered numerous
L
problems in requesting and receiving approval for costs associated with the former Economic =
L
Development Agency. Specific to the City was the rejection of Economic Development Agency debt, 0
m
requiring the City to assume payments. The 1999 Certificates of Participation (COPS) debt obligations =
�v
for South Valle/201 Building, with annual debt service of$637,000 were deemed ineligible obligations o
for EDA. r
U
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 a
_
General Fund. °

Mountain Area Safety Taskforce (MAST) Complete z
Since 2004, MAST members have significantly reduced the fire hazard in the San Bernardino National "-
0
Forest and neighboring jurisdictions, removing more than 1.5 million dead, dying or diseased trees,
more than half of them on private property.
L
Dead and dying trees pose an extreme fire danger, and MAST members began removing these trees
c
under state and federal grants, including a $70 million grant from the USDA Natural Resources in
Conservation Service. 0

The MAST mission has expanded to include reducing green fuel by thinning live trees in densely wooded U
c
areas. Property owners also are being urged to thin the live trees and vegetation on their property to M

Inland Empire Fire Safe Alliance(IEFSA) Complete LL
IEFSA has held bimonthly meetings for over 5 years and have been the focal point for all regional Fire 3
Safe Councils including some from Riverside County.They have also held numerous workshops and LL
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
J
focus group and a steering committee to accomplish these critical plans.To support public education z
and involvement, IEFSA created the web site www.fireinformation.com as well as participated in a:
0
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 c
thought and educational threads.They have reached out to thousands of mountain residents in m
preparing them for wildfires.
Public Education Programs On-going o
r
The City through MAST conducted a comprehensive mountain-wide multi-modality Public Outreach cv
Program from 2006 to 2008. It can be found at www.CaIMAST.org.The program in both English and c=a
Spanish created and presented multiple public educational meetings, newsletters, brochures, calendars, C
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 0
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 N
the entire group could receive the benefit. _
Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) Implementation Complete 0
Emergency service agencies like the Sheriff's Office have implemented TENS on numerous occasions to a
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.

Section 7. Plan Maintenance a
7.1. Monitoring, Evaluating and Updating the Plan ;
0
L
The City of San Bernardino Police Department is the custodian of the LHMP. As such,the Emergency
a.
Operations Manager within the Police Department is responsible for tracking mitigation project status, Q
documenting changes to the identified risks and threats to the City, and notifying Planning Team C14
cc
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 CalOES/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.
L
0
U
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 LL
mitigation information and mitigation efforts throughout the City. Additionally, staff w
referenced/reviewed the LHMP before submitting grant applications to ensure the project was captured 3
in the plan when applying for all grants to assist their mitigation efforts. LL
Q
0
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 z
made steady improvements in all areas.The City participated in and facilitated several meetings and 0
established several tasks forces to help advance the understanding of hazards in the community.This
L
information was shared with other City personnel and the general public. City staff believes that this
L
sharing of information leads to a more informed community,thus a more robust LHMP.
m
c
City Departments track the status of the projects through the entire life cycle from concept to in
w
completion. Projects in progress are tracked to ensure all milestones are met and payments are made in 0
a timely manner. Each year proposed projects are reviewed during budget development every spring v
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.
c
0
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 -a
newly proposed projects resulting from internal staff meetings and input from the public. The results of N
these Departmental meetings will be presented to the Local Planning Team meetings at their annual =
CU
meetings. To facilitate the Local Hazard Mitigation Planning process, police Department is proposing to 0
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 w
L
any necessary changes. Results of the annual meeting will be retained and compiled for the 2020
update.

City-wide activities. Hazard Mitigation Planning will be coordinated with surrounding jurisdictions to a
ensure mitigation goals and projects are mutually beneficial to all. `0

L
7.2. Implementation through Existing Programs C
The knowledge gained from the LHMP has helped the city enhance other planning efforts. One of the r
N
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 vs
_
most recent hazard information. It is the city's intent to incorporate by reference the updated LHMP 0
into the City General Plan upon approval from FEMA. L
L
0
The LHMP has also led to the strengthening and improvement of several City Ordinances,which are v
a
designed to ensure proper fuels reduction was completed in the Severe Fire Hazard Zones.
w
U.
The LHMP goals and actions will be incorporated into various general operations of government. For
3
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 o
J
the City General Plan and is already part of the planning process. z
Additional benefit is gained from the City reviewing existing mitigation projects and development of °c
additional mitigation projects at their internal annual Planning Team meetings. This input includes 'a
�`a
comments and suggestions from the public as well as from the internal planning process of each City =
L
d
department. m

As indicated earlier,the City has taken many steps to engage the general public. In addition to the City v
of San Bernardino City Council meetings,the actions include:
a
Municipal Advisory Communities throughout the City area, c
Flood Zone Advisor Committees, C
Public hearings for City General Plan updates held four times a year,
MAST meetings, M
N
Community Emergency Response Team meetings, and 16
® Public events where educational efforts are undertaken in the City. c
0
U
Additionally,the public will be kept involved through annual programs such as the Great Shakeout held 0
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. 2

The City of San Bernardino Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2014
L
California,May 21,2014: The City of San Bernardino today announces it plans to update the Adopted March 21, p
2005, Hazard Mitigation Plan. The plan will address the following areas: 1) Description, Purpose &Community U
Information, 2) Jurisdictional Participation Information, 3) Planning Process Documentation and Public Q
Involvement,4) Risk Assessment, 5) Mitigation Strategy, and 6) Plan Maintenance for past and current hazard UJ
projects. These areas need to be addressed,revised and updated before funds can be allocated from Federal t LL
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help with prevention and the aftermath of emergencies and 3
disasters within our city/county areas.
U_
The City of San Bernardino has developed this Hazard Mitigation Plan, in response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of Q
2000,Section 322 (a-d). This is a multiparty effort between The City of San Bernardino,who has prepared this
Hazard Mitigation Plan in accordance with FEMA, the State of California Office of Emergency Services, and the
San Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services to reduce or eliminate losses of life and property from Z
emergencies and disasters. Z
Hazard mitigation ensures that costly cycles of paying recovery costs to recover from the same types of disasters c
year after year are broken and that post-disaster repairs and reconstruction result in a reduction in hazard `o
1 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. M
c
The drafted updated Hazard Mitigation Plan will be listed on the city website,www.sbcity.org and under the to
Parks, Recreation &Community Service-"Latest News" section for public view in a READ ONLY FILE format. c
REQUIREMENT
IFR6 201.6 (C) (1): An open public involvement process is essential to the development of an effective plan. In U
c
order to develop a more comprehensive approach to reducing the effects of natural disasters, the planning
process shall include: (1) an opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior a
to plan approval; (2) an opportunity for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard o
mitigation activities, and agencies that have the authority to regulate development, as well as businesses,
academia and other private and non-profit interests to be involved in the planning process; (3) Review and
corporation, if appropriate, of existing plans studies, reports, and technical information . [The plan shall document] g
the planning process used to develop the plan, including how it was prepared, who was involved in the process, -a
and how the public was involved. N
M
The Hazard Mitigation Plan update process will be completed and submitted to FEMA by June 30, 2014 for =
approval and then returned to be submitted to the San Bernardino City Council. However, before this plan is o
approved all comments,and submission updates opportunities as stated in required section of IFR6 201.6 (C) (1)
listed above shall be addressed and forward to: San Bernardino County Fire Department, Office of Emergency
Service; Atten; Mr. Miles Wagner, 1743 Miro Way, Rialto, CA 92376. Or he can be reached at N
