7. SECTION SEVEN: Keep the Plan Current
Hazard Mitigation Plan maintenance is the process the planning team establishes to track the plan’s implementation progress and to inform the plan update. The plan must include a description of the method and schedule for monitoring, evaluating, and updating it within a 5-year cycle. These procedures help to:
• Ensure that the mitigation strategy is implemented according to the plan. • Provide the foundation for an ongoing mitigation program in your community. • Standardize long-term monitoring of hazard-related activities. • Integrate mitigation principles into community officials’ daily job responsibilities and department roles.
• Maintain momentum through continued engagement and accountability in the plan’s progress.

Hazard Mitigation Plan updates provide the opportunity to consider how well the procedures established in the previously approved plan worked and revise them as needed. This annex is part of the most recent San Diego County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan update. The plan was last updated in 2018. See the San Diego County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan for more information.

7.1. Mitigation Action Progress

Plan monitoring means tracking the implementation of the plan over time. The plan must identify how, when, and by whom the plan will be monitored.

61 7.3. Implementation through existing programs and other planning mechanisms Implementation and maintenance of this LHMP Update is critical to the overall success of hazard mitigation planning. This section provides an overview of the overall strategy for plan implementation and maintenance and outlines the method and schedule for monitoring, updating, and evaluating the Plan. The section also discusses incorporating the LHMP Update into existing planning mechanisms and how to address continued public involvement.

7.3.1 Implementation
Once adopted, this LHMP Update faces the truest test of its worth: implementation. While this Plan contains many worthwhile actions, the city will need to decide which action(s) to undertake first. Two factors will help with making that decision: the priority assigned the actions in the planning process and funding availability. Low or no-cost actions most easily demonstrate progress toward successful LHMP implementation.

An important implementation mechanism that is highly effective and low-cost is incorporation of the hazard mitigation plan recommendations and their underlying principles into other plans and mechanisms, such as general plans, stormwater plans, Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), evacuation plans, and other hazard and emergency management planning efforts for the City. City already implements policies and programs to reduce losses to life and property from hazards. This LHMP Update builds upon the momentum developed through previous and related planning efforts and mitigation programs and recommends implementing actions, where possible, through these other program mechanisms.

Mitigation is most successful when it is incorporated into the day-to-day functions and priorities of government and development. Implementation can be accomplished by adhering to the schedules identified for each action and through constant, pervasive, and energetic efforts to network and highlight the multi-objective, win-win benefits to each program and the Carlsbad community and its stakeholders.

This effort is achieved through the routine actions of monitoring agendas, attending meetings, and promoting a safe, sustainable community. Additional mitigation strategies could include consistent and ongoing enforcement of existing policies and vigilant review of programs for coordination and multi- objective opportunities.

Simultaneous to these efforts, it is important to maintain a constant monitoring of funding opportunities that can be leveraged to implement some of the more costly recommended actions. This could include creating and maintaining a bank of ideas on how to meet local match or participation requirements. When funding does become available, the city will be in a better position to capitalize on the opportunity.

Funding opportunities to be monitored include special pre- and post-disaster funds, state and federal programs and earmarked funds, benefit assessments, and other state and federal grant programs, including those that can serve or support multi-objective applications.

7.3.2 Responsibility for Implementation of Goals and Activities The staff appointed to represent each department within the city are charged with implementation of various actions in this LHMP Update. During the annual reviews as described later in this section, an assessment of progress on each of the goals and activities in the LHMP Update should be determined and noted. At that time, recommendations were made to modify timeframes for completion of activities, funding resources, and responsible entities. On an annual basis, the priority standing of various activities may also be changed. Some activities that are found not to be doable may be deleted from the Plan May 12, 2026
Item #10 Page 727 of 736
Docusign Envelope ID: B59C0B04-D741-436B-B590-41CAEE92C366 SECTION SEVEN | Keep the Plan Current
62 Update entirely and activities addressing problems unforeseen during Plan development may be added.

7.3.3 Role of Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) in Implementation and Maintenance
With adoption of this LHMP Update, the City’s Emergency Services will be responsible for the LHMP implementation and maintenance. The HMPC identified in Section 2 (or a similar committee) will reconvene annually to ensure mitigation strategies are being implemented and the city continues to maintain compliance with the NFIP. As such, the city will continue its relationship with the HMPC, and:
▪ Act as a forum for hazard mitigation issues
▪ Disseminate hazard mitigation ideas and activities to all participants ▪ Pursue the implementation of high-priority, low/no-cost recommended actions ▪ Ensure hazard mitigation remains a consideration for community decision makers ▪ Maintain a vigilant monitoring of multi-objective cost-share opportunities to help the community implement the plan’s recommended actions for which no current funding exists ▪ Monitor and assist in the implementation and update of this Plan

7.4 Maintenance
Plan maintenance implies an ongoing effort to monitor and evaluate LHMP implementation and to update this Plan as progress, roadblocks, or changing circumstances are recognized.

7.4.1. Maintenance Schedule
▪ Carlsbad Emergency Services is responsible for initiating Plan reviews. In order to monitor progress and update the mitigation strategies identified in the mitigation action plan, the HMPC will revisit this Plan annually each year and following a hazard event. With this LHMP Update anticipated to be fully approved and adopted in October 2023, the next formal Plan update for the Placer County Planning Area will occur in 2024.

7.4.2. Maintenance Schedule
The City Emergency Services is responsible for initiating Plan reviews. To monitor progress and update the mitigation strategies identified in the mitigation action plan, Emergency Services and the HMPC will revisit this Plan annually each year and following a hazard event.

7.4.3. Maintenance Evaluation Process
Evaluation of progress can be achieved by monitoring changes in vulnerabilities identified in the LHMP.

Changes in vulnerability can be identified by noting:
▪ Decreased vulnerability as a result of implementing recommended actions ▪ Increased vulnerability as a result of failed or ineffective mitigation actions ▪ Increased vulnerability as a result of new development (and/or annexation). ▪ Increased vulnerability resulting from unforeseen or new circumstances.

Updates to this LHMP will:
▪ Consider changes in vulnerability due to action implementation ▪ Document success stories where mitigation efforts have proven effective May 12, 2026
Item #10 Page 728 of 736
Docusign Envelope ID: B59C0B04-D741-436B-B590-41CAEE92C366 SECTION SEVEN | Keep the Plan Current
63 ▪ Document areas where mitigation actions were not effective ▪ Document any new hazards that may arise or were previously overlooked ▪ Incorporate new data or studies on hazards and risks
▪ Incorporate new capabilities or changes in capabilities ▪ Incorporate growth and development-related changes to infrastructure inventories ▪ Incorporate new action recommendations or changes in action prioritization.

Changes will be made to this LHMP update to accommodate for actions that have failed or are not considered feasible after a review of their consistency with established criteria, time frame, community priorities, and/or funding resources. All mitigation actions will be reviewed as well during the monitoring and update of this Plan to determine feasibility of future implementation. Updating of this LHMP will be by written changes and submissions, as the HMPC deems appropriate and necessary

7.5 Annual Plan Review Process
For the LHMP Update review process, Placer County OES, as lead along with the County CRS Coordinator, will be responsible for facilitating, coordinating, and scheduling reviews and maintenance of the LHMP. The LHMP is intended to be a living document. The review of the 2021 LHMP Update will normally occur on a quarterly basis each year and will be conducted by the HMPC as follows:
▪ The Placer County OES will place an advertisement in the local newspaper advising the public of the date, time, and place for each quarterly review of the LHMP Update and will be responsible for leading the meeting to review the Plan.
▪ Notices will be mailed to the members of the HMPC, federal, state, and local agencies, non-profit groups, local planning agencies, representatives of business interests, neighboring communities, and others advising them of the date, time, and place for the review. ▪ County/City/District officials will be noticed by email and telephone or personal visit and urged to participate.
▪ Members of the County’s Planning Commission and other appointed commissions and groups will also be noticed by email and either by telephone or personal visit. ▪ Prior to the review, department heads and others tasked with implementation of the various activities will be queried concerning progress on each activity in their area of responsibility and asked to present a report at the review meeting.
▪ The local news media will be contacted, and a copy of the current Plan will be available for public comment at Placer County.
▪ After the review meeting, minutes of the meeting and a quarterly report will be prepared by the HMPC and forwarded to the news media (public) and the ISO/CRS specialist for the CRS program.

The report will also be presented to the County Board of Supervisors for review, and a request will be made that the Board take action to recognize and adopt any changes resulting from the review.

7.5.1 Criteria for Annual Reviews
The criteria recommended will be utilized in reviewing and updating the LHMP. More specifically, the reviews should include the following information:
▪ Community growth or change in the past quarter.
▪ The number of substantially damaged or substantially improved structures by flood zone. ▪ The renovations to public infrastructure including water, sewer, drainage, roads, bridges, gas lines, and buildings.
▪ Natural hazard occurrences that required activation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and whether or not the event resulted in a presidential disaster declaration.

64 ▪ Natural hazard occurrences that were not of a magnitude to warrant activation of the EOC or a federal disaster declaration but were severe enough to cause damage in the community or closure of businesses, schools, or public services.
▪ The dates of hazard events descriptions.
▪ Documented damages due to the event.
▪ Closures of places of employment or schools and the number of days closed. ▪ Road or bridge closures due to the hazard and the length of time closed. ▪ Assessment of the number of private and public buildings damaged and whether the damage was minor, substantial, major, or if buildings were destroyed. The assessment will include residences, mobile homes, commercial structures, industrial structures, and public buildings, such as schools and public safety buildings.
▪ Review of any changes in federal, state, and local policies to determine the impact of these policies on the community and how and if the policy changes can or should be incorporated into the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Review of the status of implementation of projects (mitigation strategies) including projects completed will be noted. Projects behind schedule will include a reason for delay of implementation.

7.5.2 Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms
Another important implementation mechanism that is highly effective and low-cost is incorporation of the 2023 LHMP recommendations and their underlying principles into other City plans and mechanisms.

Where possible, Plan participants will use existing plans and/or programs to implement hazard mitigation actions. As previously stated in Section 7.1 of this plan, mitigation is most successful when it is incorporated into the day-to-day functions and priorities of government and development. The point is re- emphasized here.

As described in this LHMP’s capability assessment, the City already implements policies and programs to reduce losses to life and property from hazards. This Plan builds upon the momentum developed through previous and related planning efforts and mitigation programs and recommends implementing actions, where possible, through these other program mechanisms. These existing mechanisms include:
▪ City general and master plans, to include Public Safety and Housing elements ▪ City Emergency Operations Plans and other emergency management efforts ▪ City Climate Change Plan
▪ City ordinances
▪ Flood/stormwater management/master plans
▪ Capital improvement plans and budgets
▪ Other plans and policies outlined in the capability assessment ▪ Other plans, regulations, and practices with a mitigation focus

HMPC members involved in these other planning mechanisms will be responsible for integrating the findings and recommendations of this LHMP with these other plans, programs, etc., as appropriate. As described in Section 7.1 Implementation, incorporation into existing planning mechanisms will be done through the routine actions of:
▪ Monitor other planning/program agendas
▪ Attend other planning/program meetings
▪ Participate in other planning processes

The successful implementation of this mitigation strategy will require constant and vigilant review of existing May 12, 2026

65 plans and programs for coordination and multi-objective opportunities that promote a safe, sustainable community.

Efforts should continuously be made to monitor the progress of mitigation actions implemented through these other planning mechanisms and, where appropriate, their priority actions should be incorporated into updates of this hazard mitigation plan.

Item #10 Page 732 of 736
Docusign Envelope ID: B59C0B04-D741-436B-B590-41CAEE92C366 Appendix J – Reporting on Reduced Delta Reliance
Regulatory Background
Urban water suppliers that anticipate participating in or receiving water from a proposed project, such as a multiyear water transfer, conveyance facility, or new diversion that involves transferring water through, exporting water from, or using water in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) should demonstrate reduced reliance on the Delta in their 2025 Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs) that can then be used in the certification of consistency process to demonstrate consistency with Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance (California Code Reg ulations, Title 23, §5003). 1 The Delta Plan Policy WR P1 identifies the UWMP as the tool to demonstrate consistency with the state policy that suppliers that carry out or take part in covered actions must reduce their reliance on the Delta.2 Carlsbad Municipal Water District’s (CMWD) information on its reduced reliance on the Delta is documented below and can be used in future certifications of consistency with WR P1 for potential future water supply covered actions in the Delta.

Carlsbad Municipal Water District Reliance on Delta Watershed CMWD currently has two local water supplies, recycled water and desalinated seawater . The remainder of CMWD’s potable water supply is purchased from the San Diego County Water Authority (Water Authority). In 2025, approximately 83% of CMWD’s potable water was purchased from the Water Authority. More than half of the Water Authority’s supply comes from its imported supply portfolio, which consists of Colorado River transfers from Imperial Irrigation District (IID), and from the State Water Project (SWP) and Central Valley Project (CVP) via Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD).

CMWD’s only imported water supplies that originate in the Delta watershed are imported water supplies delivered by the Water Authority via MWD. Recognizing that the Delta supplies are threatened by uncertain long -term reliability issues associated with drought shortages, climate change, seismic events, environmental impacts, and flow restrictions, and that imported water purchases are becoming increasingly expensive, CMWD has taken actions to reduce demand for imported water from the Water Authority as supplied by MWD, and is continuing to explore future opportunities to continue to reduce its reliance on imported water.

Given that CMWD’s only potential source of water from the Delta watershed is water purchased from the Water Authority , CMWD relies on the Water Authority’s reduced Delta reliance to also demonstrate reduced regional reliance on the Delta.

Water Authority Reduced Reliance on Delta Watershed
As part of its 202 5 UWMP, the Water Authority completed a Delta Reliance analysis to evaluate reduced Delta reliance consistent with Appendix C in the California Department of Water Resources’ (DWR) UWMP Guidebook 2025 (DWR Guidebook). CMWD’s 2025 UWMP Appendix K summarizes the Water Authority’s 202 5 reduced Delta reliance analysis. The Water Authority included in its 2025 UWMP documentation of consistency with WR P1 by quantifying the water use 1 Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook 2025, California Department of Water Resources, January 2026, p.

Quantification of Water Supplies that Contribute to Regional Self-Reliance Water suppliers must report the expected outcome for measurable improvement in regional self- reliance as a reduction in water used from the Delta watershed. Table 1 lists the sources of water supplies and volumes that contribute to regional self- reliance.3 As shown in the table, the Water Authority’s reliance on the Delta watershed, and consequently CMWD’s reliance on the Delta watershed, decreases over time as the percent of water supplies that contribute to regional self- reliance increase over time. CMWD’s individual supplies that contribute to regional self -reliance can be found in Chapter 6 Water Supply in CMWD’s 2025 UWMP.

Table 1 – Calculation of Supplies Contributing to Regional Self-Reliance

Source: San Diego County Water Authority, 2025 UWMP Appendix J, March 2026.

Demonstration of Reduced Reliance on Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed Water suppliers are required to report on the expected outcomes for measurable reductions in water supplies from the Delta watershed. For CMWD, the only potential source of water from the Delta watershed is water purchased from the Water Authority via MWD. Because water provided by the Water Authority via MWD can include supplies that comingle Delta watershed and other supplies, the Water Authority (and therefore CMWD ) has incorporated the MWD’s forecast in its entirety as a reasonable methodology to forecast the percent of MWD water supply from the Delta watershed and the CVP/SWP. Table 2 calculates the reduced reliance on the Delta watershed within the entirety of the MWD service area, to serve as a regional approach for this requirement.4

• Ordinances were codified in the CMWD
water code in 2024.
• Department of Water Resources requires
readoption in 2025, even if no changes.
• WSCP was reviewed during this update,
and minor refinements were made to
estimated water savings from actions to
reflect new and current information
