Agenda #: 5.4
Meeting Date: July 19, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CONTINUED USE OF TELECONFERENCING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 361 FOR MEETINGS OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY
COUNCIL AND OTHER CITY COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES
SUBJECT TO STATE OPEN MEETING LAWS.
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Open, Engaged & Responsive Government
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-42, providing for continued use of teleconferencing and other formats as defined and in compliance with Assembly Bill 361 for meetings of the Diamond Bar City Council, City Commissions and Subcommittees.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Legislature passed AB 361, which authorizes a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with certain teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when:
(1) the legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency; (2) when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; and/or (3) when a local agency has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
The City Council first utilized the provisions of AB 361 on November 16, 2021. In order to continue to have the ability to use the modified teleconferencing options, AB 361 requires that the City Council re-affirm its findings every 30 days. Conditions under which AB 361 may be utilized continue to exist as described in the attached Resolution (Attachment 1).
5.4 Packet Pg. 67
The City Council is currently going beyond what the Brown Act requires by holding meetings in person and by way of teleconference and allowing the public to participate in both forums. The provisions of AB 361 allowing the modified teleconferencing will expire January 1, 2024.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.

USE OF TELECONFERENCING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASSEMBLY
BILL 361 FOR MEETINGS OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY COUNCIL AND
OTHER CITY COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES SUBJECT TO STATE
OPEN MEETING LAWS.
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, California Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, on March 12, 2020, to address the impacts of COVID-19, Governor Newsom issued Executive Orders that required, among other things, residents of California to follow orders and guidance of local public health officials, including social distancing and masking requirements; and
WHEREAS, existing California law, the Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency, as those terms are defined, be open and public, that a physical location for such meetings be provided, and that the public be permitted to provide public comment during the meetings; and
WHEREAS, the Brown Act permits members of legislative bodies to teleconference into public meetings subject to certain conditions, including that the place from which the member teleconferences be open to the public, that an agenda be posted on the site, and that the teleconference location be noticed in the agenda; and WHEREAS, in recognition that such public gatherings at such meetings could accelerate the spread of COVID-19, Governor Newsom’s Executive Orders suspended, among others, these Brown Act teleconferencing requirements to provide local agencies with greater flexibility to hold meetings via teleconferencing safely; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the Emergency Services Act (Government Code sections 8550 et seq.), and Chapter 8.00 of Title 8 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar has proclaimed the continued existence of a local emergency resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, as of September 30, 2021, the Governor’s Executive Order suspending the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements expired; and WHEREAS, on September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 361, which authorizes a local agency to continue to use teleconferencing without complying with certain teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when: (1) the legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency; (2) when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to

FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE MAINTENANCE SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH TRANE U.S INC. FOR MECHANICAL AND
BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR SERVICES THROUGH JUNE 30, 2023.
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve, and authorize the Mayor to sign, Third Amendment to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Trane U.S. Inc. dba Trane through June 30, 2023.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total not-to-exceed amount for FY 2022/23 would be $70,664 which includes $50,509 for scheduled preventative maintenance and $20,155 for as-needed services and repairs. Sufficient funds are included in the Public Works Department Fiscal Year 2022/23 Operating Budget to cover the cost of such services. This includes the vendor’s request for a CPI increase of 7% per Section 2 of the Original Agreement.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Over the years, the City has upgraded a number of its mechanical and building automation systems (BAS) with new Trane equipment. The current systems provide a more consistent environment in our facilities, and also provide a comprehensive method in which to manage our energy consumption. Preventative maintenance is a cornerstone in managing the repair cost, efficiency, and life expectancy of mechanical equipment. This amendment will continue our comprehensive preventative maintenance program for all City facilities while ensuring all current warranties remain in place.
The City currently has three facilities that have building automation systems in place, which provide staff with the ability to remotely monitor the mechanical operations of the 17 pieces of equipment and to make changes to schedules, setpoints, airflow, and
5.8 Packet Pg. 90
temperature to optimize the overall efficiency of the systems.
The initial term of the Original Agreement, entered into on June 18, 2019, was July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. Consistent with Section 2 of the Original Agreement, Term of Agreement, the City Council has the option to extend the Agreement for up to five (5), one (1)-year additional terms. This extension represents the Third Amendment through June 30, 2023.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the amended agreement as to form.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: CITY OF DIAMOND BAR 2022 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Safe, Sustainable & Healthy Community
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-43 adopting the 2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and provide the City Manager authorization to sign and submit any additional documentation required to certify Council action approving the Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact.
BACKGROUND:
The federal Disaster Management Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requires every local, county and state government to have an approved Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (Plan). In addition to minimizing the impact of major hazard events on the community, the Plan also maintains eligibility for future hazard mitigation funding following significant disasters.
In March 2020, the City of Diamond Bar was awarded a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant to fund the development of a revised and updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, replacing the previous Plan adopted by the City Council in 2004. With grant funding secured, City staff released a Request for Proposals and selected Innovative Emergency Management (IEM) to develop the current Draft Plan that is before the City Council for consideration and approval.
ANALYSIS:
The Plan (Attachment 2) documents the mitigation planning process including how it was developed, the planning timeframe, and who was involved in drafting the
6.1 Packet Pg. 97
document. A risk assessment was conducted detailing the type of natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. The Plan also includes information on previous occurrences of hazard events and the probability of future events. The core of the Plan is in Section 6: Mitigation Strategy (Plan pages 95-110) which outlines the City's blueprint for reducing the potential losses identified in the risk assessment, based on existing authorities, policies, programs, and resources, and its ability to expand on and improve these existing tools.
The Plan review and update took place over two years, and included several virtual meetings with the City development team, public safety partners from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s and Fire Departments, utilities, Area D Disaster Management. The process also Included two public review and comment periods. The City submitted the initial draft for review by California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), who after some changes recommended the Plan to FEMA for review and approval. After one additional revision, FEMA notified the City in April 2022 the Plan was approved pending approval by the Diamond Bar City Council (Attachments 3 & 4).
Upon approval of the Resolution (Attachment 1), the 2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan would be incorporated into the General Plan’s Public Safety Element by reference. The General Plan Safety Element already references the Hazard Mitigation Plan, which can be viewed on the City website at https://www.diamondbarca.gov/961/General-Plan2040, as is required by FEMA and CalOES. Additionally, the Hazard Mitigation Plan would undergo annual review, and be updated every five years to be consistent with DMA 2000 and in accordance with FEMA and CalOES requirements.

WHEREAS, the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act requires all cities, counties, and special districts to adopt a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to receive disaster mitigation funding from Federal Emergency Management Agency; and
WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar desires to remain eligible for State and Federal disaster relief funds in the event of a declared disaster in the City; and WHEREAS, the General Plan’s Public Safety Element requires the City to adopt, implement, and update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to address potential hazards; and
WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar is committed to increasing the disaster resistance of infrastructure, health, housing, economy, government services, education, environment, and land use systems in the City; and
WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar is subjected to various weather-related and earthquake-related disasters, such as severe weather conditions, liquefaction and floods; and
WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar has identified and justified a number of proposed projects and programs needed to mitigate the vulnerabilities of the City of Diamond Bar to the impacts of future disasters; and
WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar seeks to maintain and enhance both a disaster-resistant Diamond Bar by reducing the potential loss of life, property damage, and environmental degradation from natural disasters, while accelerating economic recovery from those disasters; and
WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar recognizes that disasters do not recognize City, County or Special District boundaries.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
Section 1. The 2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for the City of Diamond Bar planning area was developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and followed FEMA’s 2011 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. The LHMP incorporates a process where hazards are identified and profiled, the people and facilities at risk are analyzed, and mitigation actions are developed to reduce or eliminate
6.1.a
Packet Pg. 100
Resolution No. 2022-43
2 hazard risk. The implementation of these mitigation actions, which include both short and long-term strategies, involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities.
Section 2. Pursuant to the General Plan’s Public Safety Element, the City Council hereby adopts the 2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and incorporates it into the General Plan’s Public Safety Element.
Section 3. The City Council directs staff to annually review the Plan and propose revisions when new data and information become available, as mitigation measures are achieved, and as mitigation strategies evolve.
Section 4. That after each five-year cycle, the hazard analysis, vulnerability assessment and local capability sections on the Plan should be reviewed, revised, and resubmitted to California Office of Emergency Services and Federal Emergency Management Agency for approval.
Section 5. Public Resources Code § 21065 defines "project" as "an activity which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment." The LHMP does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as the LHMP does not call for any change in the existing environmental conditions within the City. The proposed LHMP merely commits the City to continue implementing existing practices and undertaking new practices to better prepare the City to avoid or reduce the consequences of hazards that are likely to occur over time. Accordingly, the LHMP is not a "project" subject to CEQA. (Public Resources Code § 21065; CEQA Guidelines § 15378(a).) Section 6. That administrative changes, word corrections, or insubstantial changes do not require additional action by the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar.
However, changes that may have a significant impact or significant expenditure of nonbudgeted funds may require action by the City Council.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 19th day of July, 2022.

Executive Summary
The 2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) outlines the City’s strategy to implement practices, improvements, and programs to lessen community impacts from natural hazard events. At the outset of the hazard mitigation planning process, the city formed a Hazard Mitigation Committee (HMC) composed of City staff and stakeholders, whose task it was to prepare a plan pursuant to the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K). This 2022 plan outlines how the Team addressed the following for each hazard identified during the planning process as having the potential to impact the local population, built and natural environment:
Developed a complete hazard profile.
Described the extent of the risks posed by the hazard. Discussed the City’s vulnerability to each hazard.
Created mitigation strategies (mitigation actions) to be implemented by the city to mitigate or reduce the hazard’s impact.
Updating the City of Diamond Bar Plan.
The LHMP is a comprehensive update to the 2004 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). Since the initial plan was developed, the City has significantly improved community resiliency because of mitigation programs and activities implemented by City departments, agencies, and stakeholders. The goals and objectives outlined in the 2004 plan were refined in 2022 to reflect changes in community priorities, and to enhance integration among community planning mechanisms. The plan’s vision is aligned with the City’s General Plan mission.
The 2022 LHMP discusses eight main hazards of concern; includes information about the impacts of climate change; and includes the adverse consequences resulting from each natural hazard. The risk and vulnerability assessments for all hazards of concern were updated using best available data and a more robust risk assessment platform.
Significant revisions and enhancements were made to the action plan, including the identification of implementation parameters aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability.
Who Participated in the Planning Process?
The 2022 City of Diamond Bar LHMP update is a result of a collaborative effort between City agencies, residents, the private sector, and regional and state organizations. Public and stakeholder participation and input were critical to develop goals and action items that will be implemented by a person or position whose technical expertise qualifies them as the best person or agency to be responsible for implementing each mitigation action. Interviews were conducted with stakeholders across the city, and two virtual meetings with the HMC were held. The HMC guided the plan development from the outset through plan completion. The HMC included representatives from:
City of Diamond Bar City Manager’s Office.
City of Diamond Bar Community Development Department.

Plan Development Approach
LHMP Development encompassed broad participation from a cross-section of stakeholders.
This strategy was designed to foster development of a plan that produced specific initiatives that would enable the city to reduce the adverse impacts from natural hazards in the city through actions embraced by both elected officials and the people of Diamond Bar. The planning process was accomplished in eight phases:
Phase 1—Organize resources and review the prior plan. Phase 2—Update the hazard identification and risk assessment. Phase 3—Review and update the plan mitigation strategy. Phase 4—Review and update the plan maintenance strategy. Phase 5—Assemble the updated plan.
Phase 6—Initiate and complete plan review and adoption. Phase 7—Implement the approved, adopted plan.
Concurrent with plan development, the city assessed natural hazard risks for the City’s Critical Facilities and reclassified them using the FEMA Community Lifeline designations.
Results of this assessment are incorporated into the plan document as appropriate.
Updating the Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is the process of measuring the potential loss of life, personal injury, economic impact, and property damage resulting from natural hazards. The risk assessment was used to rank risk and to gauge the potential impacts of each hazard of concern on the city. Based on the risk assessment, hazards of concern were ranked for the risk they pose to the overall planning area. The ranking is based on the probability of occurrence of a hazard and likely impacts in three categories: impacts on people, impacts on property, and impacts on the local economy. The sections below describe key components of the risk assessment.

Estimates of the Cost of Potential Damage
Data research and scenario development determined that the costliest type of hazard event in terms of dollar losses would result from a Magnitude-6.5 Earthquake Scenario, which could result in estimated damages of $24 billion.
Develop and Implement a Public Engagement Strategy
The HMC developed a public engagement strategy based on a review of best practices, interviews with community members, and input from technical experts contracted to assist with development of the equity lens, which is a deliberately inclusive element of organizational decision making for the planning process and for generating mitigation action outcomes. The implemented strategy will promote cooperation between City government and community organizations. The planning process encouraged public participation during plan development, and the LHMP identifies how the HMC will facilitate continued engagement with residents after the plan is adopted.
The City received 65 responses to a public survey designed to secure community input about hazards that affect them.
Draft plan was posted on City’s website for a 30-day public comment period.
Feedback received from the public engagement strategy was used throughout the plan update process, especially in mitigation actions identification and selection.
Mitigation Goals and Objectives
The HMC reviewed and updated the goals from the 2004 LHMP and developed a set of supporting objectives. The goals were selected to support the vision and mission identified in the City’s General Plan. The 2022 goals are presented below:

iv
Goal 1: Protect Life and Property.
Goal 2: Enhance Public Awareness.
Goal 3: Preserve Natural Systems.
Goal 4: Encourage Partnership and Implementation.
Goal 5: Enhance Emergency Services.
Recommended Actions
The LHMP ’s action plan presents 19 mitigation initiatives designed to reduce or minimize losses from hazard events. The City of Diamond Bar selected these actions after reviewing a variety of resources, including a mitigation best practices catalog; HMC and other stakeholder recommendations; the results of the risk assessment and issues identified issues therefrom; public input; other plans and programs; the results of the capability assessment; and actions identified in the 2004 LHMP.
Action Evaluation and Prioritization
In developing and prioritizing the 2022 mitigation actions, the City elected to use the FEMA recommended STAPLEE evaluation criteria tool as outlined in the FEMA Local Mitigation Planning Handbook (March 2013). As part of the mitigation strategy, details for each action included the lead agency or position responsible for implementing each action, and a timeline for completion. A qualitative benefit/cost review was conducted.
Initiate and Complete Plan Review and Adoption
A draft copy of the LHMP was submitted to Cal OES and FEMA Region IX for review and approval. The approved final LMHP will be presented to, and adopted by, the City of Diamond Bar City Council.
Implement the Approved, Adopted Plan
The plan will be implemented over the next five years as the lead agencies begin to implement the actions identified therein. The HMC included in the plan Implementation and maintenance strategy to guide plan implementation. This phase was designed by, and requires commitment from, all City divisions, elected officials, stakeholders, and Diamond Bar residents to reach the community’s goal of natural hazard risk reduction.
Continued Public Involvement
Diamond Bar is dedicated to involving the public directly in the continual review and updates of the LHMP. Copies of the Plan will be catalogued and made available at City Hall and the Public Library. The existence and location of these copies will be publicized in the Diamond Bar City News newsletter. Public comments related to the Plan will be kept with the City Manager’s Office. In addition, copies of the Plan and any proposed changes will be posted on the city website. This site will also contain an email address and phone number to which people can direct their comments, recommendations, and concerns.

2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
1 Section 1: Introduction
This document is an update to the City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) approved in 2004. The plan update was developed in compliance with the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). This section provides a general introduction to the Diamond Bar LHMP which includes, background, authority, purpose, scope and summary of plan contents.
What is hazard mitigation?
Hazard mitigation is action taken by a community before a disaster event to reduce the potential for death, injury, and property damage stemming from such an incident. Such actions are most effective in reducing potential impacts when implemented in a timely manner: before a disaster strike. The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) identifies how natural hazard events, such as landslides, earthquakes, and wildfires, might affect the City of Diamond Bar; it lists actions that City can take before a disaster occurs to protect people, critical infrastructure, and natural resources; and how the city can ensure the continuation of services, community livability, and economic stability.
The City of Diamond Bar leaders understand how different disasters affect their communities.
Disasters can happen at anytime and anyplace; their personal and financial consequences are hard to predict.
While the number of disaster events is increasing, only a fraction of these reaches the damage threshold that triggers a federal declaration that would provide federal funding through the FEMA Public Assistance Program (PA), Individual Assistance Program (IA), and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs are designed to support activities that reduce the impact of events, lessen dependence on taxpayer support, and provide funding from the United States (U.S.) Treasury for disaster relief and to make communities more resilient.
During the hazard mitigation planning process which includes identifying and profiling hazards; identifying populations and risk to one or more hazards; assessing related threats and vulnerabilities; and creating strategies and mitigation measures. The primary goal of this process is to reduce the community risk and vulnerability, lessen the impacts of hazards on people, the economy; infrastructure; and create a more resilient community.
Hazard mitigation planning increases the ability of communities to effectively function in the face of a natural disaster by including ways to maintain government and community continuity of operations. The process includes identifying realistic goals that can be achieved by implementing short- and long-term strategies to permanently reduce or alleviate injuries, loss of life, and property damage resulting from hazardous events. policies, activities, and tools that will mitigating the effects of a disaster. The planning process and final plan are tools designed to foster a systematic, participatory process using strategically scheduled events that encourage government, stakeholder, and public involvement. A comprehensive mitigation approach addresses hazard vulnerabilities known to affect the community today, as well as others that could impact the city in the near future.

2 Purpose of the plan
The purpose of the 2022 LHMP is to provide a comprehensive discussion of the natural and human-caused hazards that present risk to the citizens, resources, and property. The plan also identifies City’s hazard risk-reduction objectives and commitment thereto. Since the development of the initial 2004 LHMP, the city has made progress in its mitigation programs and activities. The goals and objectives were refined to reflect changes in community priorities and to enhance integration among community planning efforts. The vision is aligned with the City’s General Plan mission.
The focus of the 2022 updated LHMP is on those hazards of concern that present the greatest risk to the city, as determined through a detailed hazard risk assessment and with input from local officials. Those hazards that are determined to be of lesser concern will be evaluated but may not be fully profiled as part of this plan update process. The results of the updated risk assessment will assist the City with updating and prioritizing mitigation actions based on those hazards which have been identified to present the greatest risk to lives and property. Significant revisions and enhancements were made to the mitigation action plan, including identifying implementation parameters that will enhance program transparency and accountability.
Authority
The City’s LHMP has been developed in accordance with current federal and state rules and regulations governing local hazard mitigation plans, and the plan has been (pending) adopted in accordance with standard local procedures. Copies of the adoption resolution is provided in Appendix B. The Plan shall be monitored on a routine basis and revised to maintain compliance with the following provisions, rules, and legislation:
Section 322, Mitigation Planning, of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as enacted by Section 104 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) (P.L. 106-390).
FEMA's Final Rule published in the Federal Register, at 44 CFR Part 201 (201.6 for local mitigation planning requirements and 201.7 for Tribal planning requirements). Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-264), Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-141) and the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act.
The Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA 2000) and the Flood Insurance Reform Act
To reduce mounting natural disaster losses, the U.S. Congress passed the DMA 2000 amending the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. Section 322 of DMA 2000 emphasizes the need for state and local government entities to closely coordinate mitigation planning activities, making the development of an HMP a specific eligibility requirement for any local government applying for federal mitigation grant funds.
These funds include the HMGP and the Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program, both administered by FEMA under the Department of Homeland Security. Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP): To qualify for post-disaster mitigation funds, local jurisdictions must have adopted a FEMA-approved mitigation plan.
HMGP provides funds to states, territories, Indian tribal governments, local governments, and eligible private non-profits (such as hospitals and special needs populations) following a presidential disaster declaration.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 111
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
3 DMA 2000 authorizes up to seven percent of HMGP funds available to a state after a disaster be used for the development of state, tribal, and local mitigation plans. Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA): A community must have a FEMA-approved mitigation plan to qualify for FMA grants to implement flood mitigation, acquisition, or elevation of flood-prone homes. Furthermore, FMA applicant jurisdictions must participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) since one of the goals of FMA is to reduce or eliminate NFIP claims.
Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM): AS is the case with the HMGP and FMA programs, PDM applicants must adopt a FEMA-approved mitigation plan. PDM assists states, territories, Indian tribal governments, and local governments in implementing a sustained pre-disaster hazard mitigation program. While the introduction of FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure in Communities (BRIC) has caused FEMA to eliminate the PDM program, communities with projects currently funded by PDM through its most recent allocations must be covered by a FEMA-approved LHMP.
The Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-264) created two grant programs, Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) and Repetitive Flood Claim (RFC) and modified the existing Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program. This act requires completion of a FEMA-approved Hazard Mitigation Plan for communities to be eligible for these programs. Communities with an adopted FEMA- approved HMP become pre-positioned to receive available HMA funds before and after the next event strikes.
In July 2012, the U.S. Congress passed the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW-12), which calls for FEMA and other agencies to make changes to how the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is managed. Key provisions of the legislation required the NFIP to raise insurance premiums to reflect actual flood risk; make the program more financially stable; and change how Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) updates affect policyholders when updated maps cause properties previously identified as not being in a floodplain to be reclassified as being flood prone, and vice versa.
Summary of Plan Contents
The City’s updated LHMP includes seven sections that address the requirements outlined by FEMA for a complete and effective hazard mitigation plan. Included Appendices provide details and supporting documentation used throughout plan development and provide an efficient process to document the annual evaluation and updates as dictated in the plan maintenance section.
Section 1: Introduction provides an overview of hazard mitigation planning and describes the purpose, scope, and framework of the plan.
Section 2: Planning Process summarizes the methodology used to develop the plan, including identifying participants on the City’s planning team; a summary of planning and coordination meetings and engagement activities; public and stakeholder outreach; and how existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information were incorporated into the plan update. Appendix C includes documentation of the planning process, such as meeting invitations, agendas, minutes, presentations/handouts, and sign-in sheets; and outreach materials inviting public participation.
Section 3: Community Profile provides a general description of the City of Diamond Bar and includes community demographic, geographic and economic characteristics. This section also addresses land use, housing, and critical facilities (including Community Lifelines) for the planning area.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 112
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
4 Section 4: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) covers hazards to which the City is prone, and the process by which the community identified hazards to be included in this plan. For each hazard, discussion includes the following: a hazard description, location, extent (or magnitude), historical occurrences, future probability, hazard impact, vulnerability, and the anticipated effects of climate change.
Section 5: Capability Assessment provides a review of the city’s programs, policies, regulations and fiscal capabilities needed to implement mitigation strategies and identify areas where improvements/enhancements should be considered to further advance mitigation strategies.
Section 6: Mitigation Strategy includes an update of the goals and actions from the previous approved plan and the process used to redefine the goals and objectives for the 2022 LHMP. This section also includes a status update for past (implemented), current, and proposed mitigation actions.
Section 7: Plan Maintenance section outlines the process by which the City’s HMC and other identified officials will ensure the plan is carried out, updated, and integrated with other local planning mechanisms, regulations, and ordinances. The section also defines how to evaluate the plan effectiveness by regularly reviewing the progress of implementation of mitigation actions; continued public/ stakeholder involvement; and identification of additional risks that may surface following the development and approval of this plan update.
Plan Adoption
The 2022 Diamond Bar LHMP has been developed in accordance with 44 CFR §201.6 and was adopted (pending) by the City’s legislatures body. Copies of executed adoption resolutions are included in Appendix A. (PENDING)

5 Section 2: Community Profile
The Community Profile section of the LHMP describes the City of Diamond Bar and includes information about the community’s physical setting, history, demographics, economy, current and future land uses, and key infrastructure. The Community Profile helps to establish the baseline conditions in Diamond Bar that help informing the development of the hazard mitigation actions in Section 6.
Setting and Location
Positioned in the southeast corner of the San Gabriel Valley in eastern Los Angeles County, Diamond Bar is approximately 27 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles. Some of the neighboring communities include Walnut, Pomona and Chino Hills to the east; and Brea and La Habra in Orange County to the south. The community started as a ranching stronghold since it is perched in the rolling hills in the East San Gabriel Valley. Suburban-style growth later established Diamond Bar as a residential community known for its friendly, countryliving atmosphere; abundant open spaces; exceptional public facilities; well-maintained parks and hiking trails; and excellent schools. Suburban-style growth has established Diamond Bar as a residential community known for its friendly atmosphere, abundant open spaces, exceptional public facilities, well-maintained parks and hiking trails, and excellent schools. Many desirable services are available in Diamond Bar's shopping and business centers. Recreational opportunities within the City include more than 75 acres of developed park facilities, hiking trails, a community center, a County owned and operated 18-hole public golf course and more than 370 acres of undeveloped publicly owned open space.
Current residents are seeking to maintain what they love about the City, while looking to the future by creating new opportunities, places to gather, play, live, and work. The city must also contend with the regional growth impacts to the city such as traffic, air quality, demand for housing, jobs, and loss of the open spaces, as well as affects to climate changes and the natural disasters that can affect the community.
There are 9,583 acres, or 14.9 square miles, within the City limits. Elevations range from 500 feet at the southwest corner of the City to over 1,470 feet along the eastern ridgelines. The city’s main road, Diamond Bar Boulevard runs throughout the City, with housing on both sides nestled in the surrounding hillside. The city lies roughly between the Chino Fault and Whittier Fault, which are both a part of the Elsinore Fault Zone. Several major thoroughfares that go through the city include CA-60 Freeway, CA-57 Freeway, I-10 Freeway (just north of the city), and CA-71 just east of the city. Other major arteries include Grand Avenue, Diamond Bar Boulevard, Pathfinder Road, Golden Springs Drive, and Brea Canyon Road.

History
The City of Diamond Bar was once a part of a huge cattle ranch known as “Rancho Nogales,” which means “Ranch of the Walnut Trees”. This area became a ranching perched center among a landscape of rolling hills in the East San Gabriel Valley. Ranching began there during the Spanish colonial period (roughly 1769 to the 1820s) and the region prospered until the 1860’s, when drought caused the failure of many local ranches. In 1918, Frederich E. Lewis bought up most of the original Rancho Los Nogales and registered the Brand of Diamond Bar with the California Department of Agriculture. Lewis sold the Diamond Bar Ranch to the Bartholome family in 1943, and they continued to raise cattle on it for the next 13 years. In the 1950’s the land was divided and recombined several times into the land that is present-day Diamond Bar. In 1956, the land that is now Diamond Bar was bought by Christiana Oil Corporation and the Capital Company, and it later changed hands when purchased by Trans America Corporation. With the purchase of an additional 8,000 acres of land that would be able to accommodate more than 58,000 residents, Diamond Bar became one of the first planned communities, even preceding the well-known City of Irvine in nearby Orange County. In 1983, residents came close to voting for incorporation as a City but fell just short of the needed votes. However, in 1988 the vote to incorporate the City of Diamond Bar resurfaced and passed, thus making Diamond Bar the 86th city in Los Angeles County.

7 Climate
Temperatures in the City of Diamond Bar range from a monthly average low of 52 degrees and a monthly average high of 78 degrees. Temperatures can soar well above 90 degrees during the summer months. However, the temperatures can vary over a wide range, particularly when the Santa Ana winds come through and bring elevated temperatures and very low humidity. Rainfall in the City averages 17 inches of rain per year. However, the term “average rainfall” is misleading because, over the recorded history of rainfall, amounts have ranged from no rain at all in some years to over 20 inches of rain in rare, very wet years.
Furthermore, actual rainfall in Southern California tends to fall in large amounts during sporadic and often heavy storms rather than consistently during storms at regular intervals.

Development Trends
Given its recent development as a suburban community, the city explores the evolution of key focus areas into more dynamic mixed-use places that provide housing for a diversity of Diamond Bar residents new and old, and to provide opportunities for community gathering, entertainment and employment. Achieving Diamond Bar’s vision for a more vibrant, connected, livable, and sustainable community will rely on more compact redevelopment with an array of uses at key opportunity sites; focusing on infill development to preserve open space; increasing local retail and entertainment amenities and community gathering places through the establishment of a new pedestrian-oriented Town Center; and enhancing livability through development of neighborhoods serving commercial uses; and parks accessible to new residential uses that include an array of housing options.
Even in communities deemed as essentially “built-out,” with little or no vacant land remaining for development, population density continues to increase when low density housing is replaced with medium and high-density development projects. The General Plan Land Use Diagram is depicted in Figure 3. The map identifies land in the Planning Area according to land use classifications that describe allowable uses, densities, intensities, and other considerations for new development in those locations.

Table 6 shows the potential buildout data from the City’s General Plan. According to projections, an estimated 3,200 new households, 8,800 new residents, and 7,000 new jobs could result in the Planning Area under the General Plan by 20401. It is expected that much of this growth will occur in the focus areas or as infill, while most of the existing residential neighborhoods will experience less growth and change. The anticipated increase in the number of new residents and housing units will increase the city’s risk to impacts from earthquakes, landslides and wildfires as discussed in Section 4 of the hazard profiles.

12 Critical Facilities, Infrastructure and Lifelines
The City of Diamond Bar operates primarily as a “contract city”, utilizing agreements with other governmental agencies, private sector firms and individuals to provide many of its essential services. This includes law enforcement services provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, animal control services, building and safety services, engineering, road maintenance and landscape maintenance. The Los Angeles County Fire District provides fire protection, which is independent of the City. Los Angeles County also provides library services through a Library District, and sewer and sanitation services through a Sanitation District. Water services for the City are provided by the Walnut Valley Water District. Additionally, schools are provided by both the Walnut Valley Unified School District and the Pomona Unified School District.
As part of the 2022 HMP update process, the HMC performed an inventory and analysis of existing community assets called a “community asset inventory assessment.” The assessment consisted of a review of key critical facilities and infrastructure located in city that are essential to the health and welfare of the population. In this case, critical facilities include health and safety facilities, utilities, government facilities, and hazardous materials facilities. While the city may not be the primary entity responsible for the operation of these facilities, their functionality is especially important after a hazard event.
The detailed critical facilities and infrastructure list from the previous plan was revised and reduced to only highlight essential lifelines that are critical to continuous operation of key government functions. Figure 1 on page 6 provides the location of key critical facilities. The HMC further refined the detail list of critical facilities to identify the most vulnerable facilities for which the city has responsibility to maintain. This list was used to assist the HMC in quantifying vulnerabilities and risk from identified hazards. Table 7 summaries the general types of critical facilities and infrastructure in the planning area under the respected FEMA lifeline category.
The updated list was further refined, to reflect and listed under the FEMA’s Community Lifeline” segments, which are an integral part FEMA National Response Framework as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4: FEMA-Defined Community Lifelines
As part of the National Response Framework FEMA defines community lifelines as those services that enable the continuous operation of critical government and business functions and are essential to human health and safety or economic security. Each lifeline contains several components and sub-components that encompass infrastructure, assets, and services that are essential to incident stabilization.
For the purposes of this hazard mitigation plan, the following categories of lifelines are defined as critical facilities:
Safety and Security—Law enforcement/security, search and rescue, fire services, government service, responder safety, and imminent hazard mitigation. Food, Water and Sheltering—Evacuations, schools, food/potable water, shelter, durable goods, water infrastructure and agriculture.
6.1.b

A1. Does the Plan document the planning process, including how it was prepared and who was involved in the process for each jurisdiction? (Requirement §201.6(c)(1)) A2. Does the Plan document an opportunity for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities, agencies that have the authority to regulate development as well as other interests to be involved in the planning process? (Requirement §201.6(b)(2))
A3. Does the Plan document how the public was involved in the planning process during the drafting stage? (Requirement §201.6(b)(1))
A4. Does the Plan describe the review and incorporation of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information? (Requirement §201.6(b)(3)) A5. Is there discussion of how the community(ices) will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process? (Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(iii)) A6. Is there a description of the method and schedule for keeping the plan current (monitoring, evaluating, and updating the mitigation plan within a 5-year cycle)? (Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(i))
This section summarizes the planning process used to develop the update to the LHMP, including information outlining the planning process, who was involved in process, public engagement efforts, and the process for incorporation existing plans and other relevant information into the plan.
Planning Process
To ensure that the LHMP met the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), an approach to the planning process and plan documentation was developed to achieve the following two goals:
The LHMP will consider 6 natural and human caused hazards facing the city, thereby satisfying the natural hazards mitigation planning requirements specified in DMA 2000.
The LHMP planning process, depicted in Figure 5, was developed in keeping with DMA 2000, FEMA regulations, and FEMA and Cal OES guidance.
6.1.b

16 Figure 5: The City HMP Planning Process
This process ensured that all federal and state requirements are met and support HMP review. It meets the current standards and regulations, as outlined by the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and makes
the City eligible for all appropriate benefits
under state and federal law and practices.
Throughout the plan development/update,
a concerted effort was made to gather
information from participating municipal and
county agencies and staff, as well as other
local organizations and utilities, federal and
state agencies, and the residents of the
city. The HMC (Planning Team) solicited
information from local agencies and
individuals with specific knowledge of
certain natural hazards and past historical
events, planning and zoning codes,
ordinances, and recent planning decisions
affecting hazard mitigation planning. The
natural hazard mitigation strategies
identified in this plan have been developed
through an extensive planning process
involving city agencies/officials and staff
and city residents.
Hazard Mitigation Committee
Through an open bid process, the city selected planning consultant IEM to facilitate the plan update process. Working in concert with IEM, and the city established a Hazard Mitigation Committee (HMC) (hereafter referred to as the HMC). The HMC is made up of representatives from key city departments, as well as stakeholder representatives from local and regional agencies and companies that are key to implementing hazard mitigation initiatives. HMC members directed the decision-making process; supported the hazard identification process; and approved the draft plan before it was submitted to the Cal OES FEMA’s Local Mitigation Planning Handbook, last updated in 2013, is one of the key guidance documents for local communities in preparing hazard mitigation plans.

It should be noted that during the planning process, the entire state was affected by the Coronavirus Disease 2019-2021 (COVID-19), which limited the degree to which in-person meetings could take place between the consultant, City staff, and other members of the HMC. As such, extensive outreach was conducted by telephone, e-mail, and Microsoft teams conference calls. The consulting team aggressively reached out to City staff and other stakeholders to secure updated community data and to review the updated plan.
Using email and personal phone calls, the city invited HMC members to attend scheduled virtual meetings. The HMC held two meetings during the plan development process to lay out the methods and approach for the Plan, draft, and review content, make revisions, and encourage public engagement. Invitation to HMC meetings, as well as agendas/materials,
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 126
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
18 were provided via email. Appendix C contains copies of invitations, meeting agendas and sign in sheets, and other relevant materials distributed for these meetings. Committee Meeting #1: Kick-Off Meeting: The members of the City’s HMC, and other stakeholders attended the 2022 LHMP Update kickoff meetings on February 17 and 18, 2021. A total of twenty-two people representing City staff and stakeholders discussed community hazards and vulnerabilities that have occurred in the community since the 2004 plan was written.
The HMC confirmed the project goals and the responsibilities of the Committee.
They revised the community engagement and outreach strategy, confirmed, and prioritized the hazards to be included in the Plan, and identified critical facilities for the hazard assessment. Based on this discussion, the HMC agreed the following natural hazards should be included in the plan update: drought, earthquakes, flood, landslides, severe storms, and wildfire. Additionally, two non-natural hazards were included as part of the update: hazardous materials and pandemic/human infectious disease. Copies of the attendance sheets, meeting minutes, and Power Point presentation outlining the planning process are provided in Appendix C.
Committee Meeting #2: Risk Assessment and Capability Review Meeting: The Risk Assessment and Capability Review webinar was held on May 26, 2021. The HMC reviewed the results of the risk assessment to communicate the reason each hazard was profiled and included in the plan. This included a discussion of hazard ranking forms and the exercise conducted to rank the natural hazards based on their frequency and impacts. The HMC members used the Capability Worksheet, and other documents in the IEM Data Collection Guide to review and update the list of community assets and capability assessment information. Additionally, the HMC reviewed the results of the risk assessment to identify the populations and assets that may face greater harm in a hazard event. The Committee also discussed potential hazard mitigation actions to address vulnerabilities.
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
The HMC was asked to review how each of the identified hazards of concern affected the community, a step that would lend itself to hazard ranking. The HMC conducted a Vulnerability Assessment that answered the following questions:
A. What are the most valuable assets in your community? B. What are the biggest challenges facing your community? C. What is your vision of your community in 10 years? The group was also asked to pay special attention to assets that fall into categories described as Community Lifeline Components to ensure consideration of the full range of critical facilities and assets that could be potentially at risk to one or more hazards. All of these facilities are listed as Community Lifeline Components in the FEMA graphic included Section 3.
Capabilities Assessment
The HMC conducted a Capabilities Assessment, a copy of which was mailed to participants, and requested their assistance in updating the city’s current capabilities. The group was asked to consider assets and capabilities falling into the following categories, especially those that located in hazard-prone areas. Such assets could be identified as part of the natural environment; economic; the population; the built environment; cultural and historic
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 127
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
19 resources; and future development. Participants were also asked about capabilities falling into the categories of Planning and Regulatory, Administrative and Technical, Safe Growth, Financial, and Education and Outreach.
Review 2004 Goals and Objectives and Current and Proposed Mitigation Actions
The mitigation strategy development for the Plan involved reviewing the relevance of mitigation 2004 Plan Goals and Objectives; providing status updates on actions included in the 2004 Plan; and developing new mitigation actions. An inclusive and structured process was used to develop and prioritize new mitigation actions for this plan using the criteria outlined in the FEMA Local Mitigation Planning Guide. The HMC utilized the FEMA recommended STAPLEE criteria used in developing the 2022 LHMP. For new actions, the HMC identified proposed actions, costs and benefits, the responsible organization(s), effects on new and existing buildings, implementation schedules, priorities, and potential funding sources.
Plan Maintenance
After completing this plan update, implementation and ongoing maintenance will become a function and responsibility of the City Manager or his/her their designee through the HMC.
As part of the plan maintenance process, HMC members will identify ways to integrate mitigation goals, objectives, and action items with other State and local planning initiatives and activities.
Public Engagement
Under FEMA guidelines, the local hazard mitigation planning process should create opportunities for members of the public to be involved in plan development—at a minimum, during the initial drafting stage and during plan approval. The HMC developed a virtual engagement strategy to guide all public engagement activities. However, due to issues with COVID-19, in lieu of originally planned in-person public meeting were not able to be conducted. However, the city posted an online community survey on its website soliciting public comments/input on the planning process. The survey was posted online at https://www.allcounted.com/s?did=cfl5vyu9y58d7&lang=en_US. The Community Survey was posted on the city’s web site to inform the public that the 2022 LHMP was being updated; and to invite the public to provide input on hazards of concern, including how residents have been affected by recent disaster events. The results of the Community Survey have been incorporated into the respective sections of the plan. A copy of the of the survey has been included in Appendix D.
There were 65 responses from the Citizens of Diamond Bar, who provided invaluable feedback for the City to consider when developing ways to protect the Citizens and their property from natural disasters that could, and have, affected their home. When asked where the survey respondents lived, they overwhelmingly were residents of the city, although some lived in other cities and towns and commuted into Diamond Bar for work.
Respondents were asked to assess which hazards that affected them or their family. Most of the residents stated that Drought was the most significant hazard face, while they were least concerned with the Expansive Soils hazard. The COVID Pandemic was the largest concern of the newly added non-natural hazards falling just behind Drought in the hazards affecting them.
Wildfire was identified as the natural hazard they are most concerned. Drought was lower on the list of concerns even though residents had been affected by it. Residents were also asked how best the city could communicate to them about the hazards that could affect
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 128
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
20 them. They stated that they prefer email communications and noted that newspapers, radio, facts sheet, and publicly available brochures would be considered ineffective means of communication. When given the chance to provide additional communications options, most stated that the Emergency Notification System was the best option.
The survey included a question about community assets the residents perceive as being the most susceptible to the effects of natural hazards. Most residents stated that the EconomicBusiness closures or job losses, and Human-Loss of life and/or injuries, along with the Cultural/Historic-Damage or loss of libraries, museums, landmarks, fairground, etc. where all equally of significant importance, while other assets were viewed as less important. When asked specifically which type of asset was the most important overall, the Hospital/Healthcare centers were identified as being the most critical and, while they are important resources, Museums and Historical Buildings were not considered to be as critical.
In addressing which mitigation actions are the most important to the community, Emergency Services, Preventive Services, and Administrative actions all ranked highest.
Figure 6: City Announced the Survey on its Website.
The HMC provided a second opportunity for public input into the planning process. The city posted a copy of the draft Plan document on its website for public review and input. A copy of the public review document announcement is provided in Appendix D. Additionally, opportunities were provided for neighboring communities to review and provide comments on draft plan document. All relevant comments were reviewed incorporated into the final document.
Plan Revision and Adoption
The HMC was provided a copy of the draft of the 2022 LHMP Update for review. After their feedback was incorporated into the draft plan, it was posted for review on the City’s web site
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 129
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
21 and widely promoted through City communications vehicles so the city could secure feedback from its stakeholders and the broader community. Unfortunately, during the COVID-19 pandemic incident, city buildings were closed, which prevented the city from allowing residents to review hard copies of the document in person. The city distributed notifications about the public review draft through social media accounts and other online sources. All feedback was (pending) incorporated into the final Draft Plan submitted to Cal OES, and later to FEMA, for agency review and approval. The city made additional revisions (pending) based on feedback/comments/recommendations from Cal/OES and FEMA. Upon approval, the city will receive a letter of from FEMA Region XI stating that all required elements of the formal FEMA Mitigation Planning Process have been duly satisfied. The City Council will pass an adoption resolution formalizing its acceptance of Plan as referenced in Appendix A. (Pending)
Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms
The effectiveness of the Plan depends on successful implementation of the mitigation actions. This includes integrating mitigation actions into existing city plans, policies, programs, and other implementation mechanisms. The key city plans that should incorporate content from this LHMP include:
Diamond Bar General Plan Safety Element should incorporate relevant mitigation mapping and analysis ensure the goals and policies of this plan are reinforced throughout future developments and projects proposed within the City. Diamond Bar Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), which focuses on the effective preparedness and response to hazard events that occur within the city.
Incorporation of relevant content from this plan into the EOP ensures consistency regarding the hazards addressed in both plans.
Diamond Bar Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies key infrastructure investments throughout the city that may include hazard mitigation elements.
Incorporation of mitigation planning elements into the CIP may assist with enhancing infrastructure investment through additional funding and/or modification of improvements to include hazard mitigation elements.
Plan Resources
The HMC reviewed a range of plans, studies, technical reports, datasets, and other resources to prepare the hazard assessment, mapping, threat assessment, and other components of this Plan. Some of these documents, including those from FEMA, provided information on risk, existing mitigation actions currently underway, and ideas for possible future mitigation actions. Other resources, including those from NOAA, provided histories of disasters in the area. USACE (US Army Corps of Engineers) studies were reviewed for their assessment of the risk to dam/levee failure and potential projects in the region.
Materials from FEMA and Cal/OES were reviewed for guidance on plan development requirements. The community included actions from other plans, such as Floodplain Management Plans and developed actions to implement and incorporate other plans such as Stormwater Management Plans. Previous hazard events, occurrences and descriptions were identified through NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
This section discusses the types of hazards that might reasonably occur in the City of Diamond Bar. It describes the hazards; how they are measured; where in Diamond Bar they may occur; a history of previous occurrences in and around the City; and the future risk they pose. The discussion of future risks includes any changes to the frequency, intensity, and/or location of these hazards as a result of climate change. This section also discusses how the Hazard Mitigation Committee (HMC) selected and prioritized the hazards in this Plan.
Hazard Identification
The HMC reviewed an extensive list of hazards and excluded the ones that do not pose a threat to Diamond Bar. This list included several hazards that are identified in FEMA planning guidance, that FEMA recommends communities evaluate for inclusion in a hazard mitigation plan. Table 10 lists the hazards considered by the HMC and explains the reasoning for inclusion/exclusion.

Diamond Bar, along with the rest of the country is currently responding to a global pandemic (COVID-19), which has impacted staff and resources.
Earthquake/Fault
Rupture
There are no known fault zones located within Diamond Bar, but several faults have been identified as having the potential to impact the City. As a result, the HMC identifies earthquake/fault rupture as a potential hazard of concern.
Flooding Diamond Bar includes several areas identified as being in FEMA flood hazard zones. While significant flooding events have not recently affected City properties, the presence of these flood zones indicates the potential for future hazard incidents.
Hazardous
Materials Releases
The presence of uses storing, manufacturing, disposing, and transporting hazardous materials was identified as a concern for the HMC. In addition, several major roadways, freeways, and rail lines transecting the City allow for the transport of these materials that could endanger the community if a release into the environment were to occur.
Landslide/
Liquefaction
Diamond Bar has areas located in the within the City that have existing landslides or the potential for landslides to occur. As a result, the HMC felt it was important to include this hazard in the plan. According to mapping prepared by the California Geological Survey, portions of the City are located within liquefaction prone areas.
Severe Weather
and Storms
Severe Weather includes discussions about extreme heat, severe wind, and rain, which are weather related hazards that are most common in Diamond Bar.
Wildfire The HMC identified wildfire as a major threat to developed and undeveloped areas of the City and should be included in the document.
Hazard Scoring and Prioritization
The HMC followed FEMA guidance for hazard mitigation plans and prioritized each of the 8 hazards. The risk level represents the final ranking of each hazard as a result of the hazard prioritization process exercise completed by the HMC. The hazard ranking results were
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 137
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
29 evaluated by the HMC during the risk assessment process to ensure consistency with the hazards of highest concern. The risk level for earthquakes and wildfires are listed as high, followed by drought, severe storms, hazardous materials and human infectious disease as moderate risk. Flood and landslides are listed as low risk due to infrequent occurrence and/or negligible impacts. A copy of the hazard prioritization documents is provided in Appendix E.

A hazard with a LOW RISK rating is expected to have little to no impact upon the jurisdiction. The hazard poses minimal health and safety consequences to the state’s residents and is expected to cause little to no property damage. The occurrence of a hazard with a LOW RISK rating is rare; however, due to other factors such as geographic location it is still possible for such a hazard to occur and cause even significant damage based upon the magnitude of the event.
Moderate 16-30
A hazard with a MODERATE RISK rating is expected to have a moderate impact upon the jurisdiction. The hazard poses minor health and safety consequences with minor injuries expected and few to no fatalities. The hazard may cause some property to be damaged or destroyed. The occurrence of a hazard with a MODERATE RISK rating is likely at least once within the next 25 years.
High 31 or More
A hazard with a HIGH-RISK rating is expected to have a significant impact upon the jurisdiction. The hazard poses high health and safety consequences with numerous injuries and fatalities possible. The hazard may cause even some property to be damaged or destroyed. A hazard with a HIGH-RISK rating is expected to occur at least once within a 12-month period but can occur multiple times within a year.
Federal Disaster Declarations
Since 1953, Los Angeles County has been issued 74 federal disaster declaration of which 56 have occurred since 2000. These declarations included flooding, earthquakes, wildfire, and other hazards. However, the City of Diamond Bar has been fortunate to experience
6.1.b

Hazard Profiles
Drought
Hazard Description
A drought is a period of time in which water supplies become scarce. Drought occurs over a period of time without substantial rainfall that persists from one year to the next. Drought is a normal part of virtually all climatic regions, including areas with high and low average rainfall.
In California, rain comes as a result of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle, a regional meteorological phenomenon in the southern Pacific Ocean consisting of variations in the temperature of the ocean water and air. These variations give rise to two distinct phases known as El Niño, the warm and wet phase, or La Niña, the dry and cold phase.
When the La Niña phase is active, it can cause California to receive lower than normal levels of precipitation.
Drought is the consequence of anticipated natural precipitation reduction over an extended period, usually a season or more in length. Droughts can be classified as meteorological, agricultural, hydrologic, socioeconomic and ecological.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 139
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
31 Types of Drought2:
• Meteorological: a reduction in rainfall from a normal precipitation pattern in regard to the amount, intensity, or timing of the event as well as changes in the temperature, humidity, and wind patterns. The strict threshold differs for every nation; the United States defines meteorological drought as receiving less than 2.5mm of rainfall in 48 hours. Meteorological drought is the first drought stage detected.
• Agricultural: deficient moisture conditions that cause a lasting effect on crops and nonnatural vegetation. It is dependent on rainfall, temperature, topography, evapotranspiration, permeability, and porosity of soils, precipitation effectiveness, and vegetative demand.
Agricultural drought begins when the available soil moisture supports the actual evapotranspiration rate at only a fraction of the potential evapotranspiration rate. • Hydrological: related to the effects of decreased precipitation on surface or subsurface water supply. It is the last stage of drought and is lagged behind meteorological and agricultural drought because water infiltrates down to the groundwater during the latter portion of the hydrological cycle. Subsurface water supply is the last drought component to return to normal when meteorological conditions and aquifer recharge return. • Socioeconomic: what happens when the consequences of the drought start to affect the socioeconomic sector. It occurs when the demand for an economic good is greater than the available supply due to weather-related drought. Examples of such goods include water, hydroelectric power, food grains, meat, dairy, and much more. Socioeconomic drought affects the associated population both individually and collectively. • Ecological: defined as “a prolonged and widespread deficit in naturally available water supplies — including changes in natural and managed hydrology — that create multiple stresses across ecosystems.”
Unlike with sudden weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms, it is often difficult to pinpoint when a drought has started or when it has ended. The initial effects of a drought may be difficult to identify right away, so it may take weeks or months to determine that a drought has started. The end of a drought is hard to identify for the same reason. A drought may last for weeks, months, or even years. Sometimes, drought conditions can exist for a decade or more in a region. The longer a drought lasts, the greater the harmful effects it has on people, crops, and livestock.
Location and Extent:
The occurrence of drought is regional in nature and scope. As such, when drought occurs in Southern California it typically affects the entire City of Diamond Bar and its sphere of influence. Any significant drought occurring in Southern California can reduce the regional water supply and will have an impact on the City.
The Palmer Drought Index is used to measure the extent of a drought by measuring the duration and intensity of long-term drought-inducing circulation patterns. Long-term drought is cumulative, with the intensity of drought during the current month dependent upon the current weather patterns plus the cumulative patterns of previous months. The hydrological impacts of drought (e.g., reservoir levels, groundwater levels, etc.) take longer to develop. 2 http://drought.unl.edu/DroughtBasic/TypesofDrought.aspx

Source: http://drought.monitor.unl.edu/AboutUSDM/Droughtclassification.aspx Previous Occurrences:
Diamond Bar, like the rest of California, has experienced many drought events throughout its history. Each event has been distinct, with varying lengths, severity, and frequency.
California, including Los Angeles County, was in some form of drought for 376 consecutive weeks from December 20, 2011 until March 14, 2017. By summer of 2014, almost all of California was experiencing level D2 (severe drought) conditions. By 2015, emergency water-saving mandates were enacted, which required all jurisdictions to reduce water use by no less than 25 percent. In late 2016 and early 2017, consecutive occurrences of heavy rain helped end the drought conditions in the state. The following winter, in late 2017 and early 2018, rains did not occur to the same level and slight drought conditions again affected the state. This moderate drought was again abated in the winter season of late 2018 and early 2019, when heavy rains ended any existing drought conditions. As of August 13, 2019, Los Angeles County meteorologist have considered the region to be unaffected by drought . The NWS National Center for Environmental Information recorded 21 drought events as occurring Los Angeles County between 2000 and 2020 as shown in Table 14.

34 Probability of Future Events:
For the near future, drought is expected to be a recurring hazard in California, affecting both LA County and the City of Diamond Bar. Available information enabled the HMC to calculate the probability of occurrence based on events that occurred during the 20-year reporting period of 2000-2020. Drought events have occurred in eleven of the 20-year reporting period, there is a 55% chance of a drought occurring in Diamond Bar in any given year.
Figure 8 illustrates the severity of the drought conditions experienced over the past 19 years.
Figure 8: Severity of the drought conditions 2000-2019
Source: http://www.drought.gov/drought/states/california Vulnerability and Impact:
Drought impacts large areas and crosses jurisdictional boundaries. Drought impacts are mostly experienced in water shortages and crop/livestock losses on agricultural lands and typically do not impact buildings. The complex web of economic impact may be significant because the hazard affects many business sectors, its affects extending well beyond the area experiencing physical drought. This complexity exists because water is integral to the ability to produce goods and provide services. If droughts extend over several years, the direct and indirect economic impact can be significant.
Life and Property
The threat to the human population could be significant depending on the severity of the drought.
Persons who lack enough water cannot maintain proper internal body temperatures required for normal well-being and may experience a number of symptoms: headache, dizziness, weakness, cramping, nausea, vomiting, confusion, dehydration, and, in some cases, death. Drought may also be accompanied by extreme heat, and the combination of hazards affects vulnerable populations – young children, the elderly, and those with a handicap or other special need. As the City’s population increases as a result of growth in
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 143
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
35 areas vulnerable to hazards, or to growth in the number of persons considered to be in a special population, their respective vulnerabilities to Drought will also increase.
Drought affects human and animal habitat because there is less water available in lakes, streams, aquifers, soil, wetlands, springs, and other surface and subsurface sources from which people and animals meet their hydration needs. Decreased water availability may lessen water quality by altering levels of salinity, bacteria, turbidity, pH, and temperature.
Any such alteration may affect the aquatic habitat of numerous plants and animals found throughout the state. Additionally, this could have a negative impact on livestock if they ingest too much salt from the waters whose salinity has been affected. Bacteria and water pH can also affect the health of livestock if they ingest too much in water that has been modified as a result of drought conditions.
Utilities
During a drought, utilities water customers are directed to use less water. This results in decreased revenue for the Walnut Valley Water District, although there is no reduction in fixed costs. Historically, water utilities have had to raise rates to make up for lost revenue during droughts.
Low water flow may result in decreased sewage flows and subsequent increases in the level of contaminants found in the water supply. A decrease in water availability overall would lead to a decrease in the drinking water supply and the availability of water for agricultural purposes, thus affecting the food supply. Such a disruption would also lessen the availability of “food” found in the general habitat that would be consumed by fauna and animals. End results could include in a loss of biodiversity; increases in human and animal mortality; an uptick in the level of disease in humans and animals; and an increase in the number of endangered species.
Changes in Development
Since the last plan update, the vulnerability of drought to the City has increased from possible to highly likely. There has been no new development of structures added or removed that increase or decrease the probability of this hazard in the City of Diamond Bar.
Rather, the increased probability stems from the fact that California has received an abnormally low amount of rainfall in the past five years, causing communities statewide, including Diamond Bar, to be more concerted in the effort to introduce mitigation measures that could mitigate the impacts of a drought.
Impacts of Climate Change
Climate change is anticipated to have mixed effects on the drought hazard: it may abate drought in certain situations, but it could also intensify and exacerbate it in other cases. For example, climate change-intensified weather patterns, such as during years when El NinoSouthern Oscillation (ENSO) occurs, may bring more rain to California and Diamond Bar and abate drought conditions. In other years, climate change may also prolong the La Niña phase of ENSO, which could lead to longer periods with no precipitation in California.
Climate change is also expected to increase the average temperature and cause more frequent and prolonged heat waves in California and Diamond Bar. During these events, water supplies may be diverted for City-required cooling functions, such as those needed to protect the elderly and to maintain essential City operations. Hotter temperatures may also lead to increased surface water evaporation, which could lead to greater water consumption.
If a drought were to occur during a future heat wave, it could place the water supply under strain.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 144
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
36 From a regional perspective, warmer overall temperatures in California are anticipated to affect and reduce statewide water supplies. Much of California’s water comes from melted snow in the High Sierra, a segment of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. As the average temperature increases as a result of climate change, the amount of precipitation that falls as snow is expected to shift to increased rainfall. As less snow falls, the amount of melted water from the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada will decrease, reducing the water that will flow into the reservoirs and aqueducts that supply Southern California. This could place a strain on the City’s imported water supply, leading to greater reliance on Los Angeles County’s local groundwater. If regional water agencies, like Los Angeles County Water District (LCWD), do not increase groundwater withdrawal, Diamond Bar and the greater Los Angeles County region could experience subsidence as a result.
Earthquake
Hazard Description
An earthquake is defined as a shaking or trembling of the earth that is volcanic or tectonic in origin. The term Earthquake is used to describe both a sudden slip on a fault, and the resulting and radiated seismic energy caused by the slip or by volcanic or magmatic activity or other sudden stress changes in the earth. This includes surface faulting, ground shaking, landslides, liquefaction, tectonic deformation, tsunamis, and seiches.
Fault Rupture
The shifting and movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates are responsible for seismic events.
Plates can pull away from, move toward, or pass each other and in doing so, they sometimes lock together. This creates tension, and eventually the built-up tension is released like a springboard. The tension dissipates into the Earth’s crust. The location at which two tectonic plates join is called a fault line. Fault lines are sometimes visible on the Earth’s crust as sudden rifts or anomalies in the continuity of the landscape. In California, the major fault line running in a north-south direction is the San Andreas Fault, where the North American and Pacific Plates meet. Constant friction between the two plates over the millennia, however, has caused the areas where the two plates intersect to become fragmented, creating new, smaller faults.
There are 2 major types of earthquakes that can occur within a given region:
Strike-slip - Faults are vertical or almost vertical rifts where the earth’s plates move mostly horizontally. From the observer’s perspective, if the opposite block looking across the fault moves to the right, the slip style is called a right lateral fault; if the block moves left, the shift is called a left lateral fault. Dip-slip - Faults are slanted fractures where the blocks mostly shift vertically. If the earth above an inclined fault moves down, the fault is called a normal fault, but when the rock above the fault moves up, the fault is called a reverse fault. A reverse fault with a dip of 45 ° or less is called a Thrust fault.
The area in the immediate vicinity of a fault line is at risk of damage due to the potential for a fault rupture: the deformation or displacement of land on either side of the fault, which may move a few inches to several feet in opposite directions. Buildings or infrastructure situated around, on top of, or across a fault line could potentially be severely damaged or destroyed.
Some faults have only recently emerged recently in geologic history. Quaternary faults are faults that have developed any time between the Holocene Era and the present (within the last 1.8 million years). These faults are especially concerning since they are the most likely
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 145
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
37 to be active and cause future earthquakes. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act enables the California State Geologist to designate zones surrounding active faults as Alquist-Priolo Special Study Zones, named as a special regulatory zone. These zones require additional study to determine the location of the fault and the limits of the area prohibited from surface construction on top of the known location of an active fault.
Liquefaction
Liquefaction occurs when seismic energy shakes an area with low-density, such as fine grain soil like sand or silt, that is saturated with water. When the shaking motion reaches these areas, it can cause such loosely packed soils to suddenly compact, making the waterlogged sediment behave more like a liquid than solid ground. During liquefaction events, the liquified soil can lose most of its stability, which can cause damage to buildings and infrastructure built on such surfaces. In severe cases, buildings may completely collapse as a result of liquefaction. Pipelines or other utility lines running through a liquefaction zone may be breached, potentially leading to flooding or release of hazardous materials.
Liquefaction events do not have a scale of measurement, however other factors can be used to assess the extent of damage associated with a liquefaction event, such as:
Soil type.
Strength of seismic shaking in the area of liquefaction. Size of the affected area.
Degree of destruction as a result of the liquefaction.
According to the California Geological Survey, parts of Diamond Bar are in potential liquefaction zones. This is due to the types of soils in this area, presence of shallow groundwater under the low-lying portions of the City, and proximity to active earthquake faults capable of generating large earthquakes. In this area of the City, the ground is comprised of predominantly sandy alluvial soils, and the depth to groundwater in some areas is as shallow as 10 feet beneath the ground surface.
Seismic shaking
Seismic shaking is the shaking felt on the earth’s surface caused by an earthquake. In most cases, earthquakes are not powerful enough for the shaking to be felt. The intensity of seismic shaking occurs in relation to the amount of energy discharged by the seismic event which is dictated by the length and depth of the fault. The longer and nearer to the surface the fault rupture is, the greater the seismic shaking. In most cases, areas that are nearest to the fault rupture experience the greatest seismic shaking while areas that are more distant experience less shaking.
Seismic shaking can damage or destroy structures and lead to partial or even total structural collapse. Ground shaking may also damage or destroy underground utilities or pipelines, potentially leading to releases of hazardous materials as well as flooding if water lines are breached.
Figure 9 profiles the earthquake shaking potential for the state of California. All of Los Angeles County lies within areas that are near major active faults. These areas experience stronger shaking, more often.

Location and Extent:
Diamond Bar is located in a region with several major active faults. The San Andreas Fault Zone, which has the greatest potential to cause damage in the region, is 26 miles northeast of the city. The Whittier Fault, which is broken by several localized faults, is located on the northern or “uptown” side of the City. The Diamond Bar and the Arnold faults (which are currently identified as “INACTIVE”) are located within the City boundaries. The last movement along these two faults was probably sometime during the Miocene period (11-25 million years ago). Figure 10 provides the location of several local faults near the City of Diamond Bar.

Earthquakes are measured in terms of their magnitude and intensity. Magnitude is measured using the Richter Scale, an open-ended logarithmic scale that describes the energy release of an earthquake through a measure of shock wave amplitude (see Table 16). Each unit increase in magnitude on the Richter Scale corresponds to a 10- fold increase in wave amplitude, or a 32-fold increase in energy. Intensity is most commonly measured using the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale based on direct and indirect measurements of seismic effects. The scale levels are typically described using roman numerals, with a I corresponding to imperceptible (instrumental) events, IV corresponding to moderate (felt by people awake), to XII for catastrophic (total destruction). A detailed description of the MMI Scale of earthquake intensity and its correspondence to the Richter Scale is given in Table 17.

Source: https://www.usgs.gov/natural-hazards/earthquake Previous Occurrences:
The 1994 Northridge earthquake is the largest recent fault rupture near Diamond Bar, measuring as a 6.7 Mw event. It was approximately 56 miles from the City and is considered the most destructive earthquake to have occurred in the United States in the past 100 years.
This event killed sixty people, injured more than 7,000, left 20,000 people homeless, and damaged more than 40,000 buildings in Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties. The 2014 La Habra earthquake is a more recent occurrence and was measured to be an event of magnitude 5.1. This event caused fault rupturing adjacent to, but not directly on, the Puente Hills and Whittier faults. Even more recently, a significant swarm of earthquakes in the Ridgecrest area occurred on July 4th and 5th 2019. Three tremors ranging from 5.4 to 7.1 Mw occurred within the Eastern California shear zone, a region of distributed faulting associated with motion across the Pacific-North America plate boundary, and an area of high seismic hazard.
While no significant earthquake has originated within Diamond Bar within the last 100 years, The City has no doubt felt the shaking of regional earthquakes. The nearest earthquake event to the City that caused significant damage throughout the Southern California region was the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. The earthquake epicenter was in the City of Huntington Beach, however most of the damage occurred in areas north of the epicenter.
The event caused more than $50 million in property damage and resulted in the deaths of 120 people. Fortunately, the City did not exist at that time and the area was sparsely populated. It is unknown whether residents during that period experienced property damage.
Most of the deaths and damage from the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake occurred as a result of collapsing seismic shaking that primarily affected unreinforced masonry buildings.
Table 18 shows significant earthquakes – magnitude 6.0 or greater – that have occurred within 100 miles of Diamond Bar since the beginning of the 20th century. Although the 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake and 1994 Northridge Earthquake caused significant damage, the City of Diamond Bar was spared from any substantial damage from either incident.

Source: http://file.lacounty.gov/SDSInter/lac/1062614_AHMPPublicDraftOct1.pdf Probability of Future Events:
Many people in LA County feel shaking from earthquakes a couple times a year, mostly mild or moderate shaking that causes with little damage. According to data from the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3 (UCERF3), there is a greater increase in the likelihood of larger earthquakes in the Los Angeles Region compared to most of California, because the region has more faults that can host multi-fault ruptures3. On average, a quake of magnitude 6.0 or larger is likely to hit somewhere in Southern California every few years. No one can predict when a big earthquake will happen. USGS has estimated that there is a 75% probability that one or more magnitude 7.5 or greater quakes will strike in the next thirty years4.
Vulnerability and Impact:
Earthquake damage occurs because humans have built structures that cannot withstand severe shaking. Buildings, airports, schools, and lifelines (highways and utility lines) suffer damage from earthquakes and such event may cause death or injury to humans. The resilience of homes, major businesses, and public infrastructure is of high concern to the City’s HMC. The City now faces the challenge of how to foster the sustainability of these assets, as well as the potential costs to government, businesses, and individuals on two fronts: to mitigate against earthquake damage, and to estimate the cost of repairs in the wake of such an event.
People
Death and injury can occur both inside and outside of buildings due to collapsed buildings, falling equipment, and the movement of furniture, debris, and structural materials. Downed power lines and broken water and gas lines can also endanger human life.
Buildings
The built environment is susceptible to damage from earthquakes. A collapsed structure may trap or bury those inside. The hazard puts lives are at risk and requires significant cost to clean up damage. In most California communities, including Diamond Bar, many buildings were built before 1993, at a time when building codes were not as strict as they are today.

6.1.b
Packet Pg. 151
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
43 addition, retrofitting, which can be costly, is not required except under certain conditions, so the number of at-risk buildings remains high. The California Seismic Safety Commission makes annual reports on the progress of the retrofitting of unreinforced masonry buildings.
Damage to Lifelines
Lifelines are the connections between communities and outside services. They include water and gas lines, transportation systems, electricity, and communication networks. Ground shaking and amplification can cause pipes to break open, power lines to fall, roads and railways to crack or move, and radio and telephone communication to cease. Residents in Diamond Bar commute frequently by automobiles and public transportation such as busses and light rail. An earthquake can greatly damage bridges and roads, hampering emergency response efforts and the normal movement of people and goods. Damaged infrastructure strongly affects the economy of the community because it disconnects people from work, school, food, and leisure, and separates businesses from their customers and suppliers.
Lifelines need to be usable after earthquake to allow for rescue, recovery, and rebuilding efforts and to relay important information to the public. They include police stations, fire stations, hospitals, shelters, and other facilities that provide important services to the community. These facilities and their services need to be functional after an earthquake event.
Bridge Damage
Even modern bridges and overpasses can sustain damage during earthquakes, leaving them unsafe for use. Some bridges have failed completely due to strong ground motion.
Bridges are a vital transportation link, and even minor damage may cause some areas to become inaccessible. Because bridges and overpasses vary in size, materials, location and design, any given earthquake will affect them differently. Those built before the mid-1970’s has a significantly higher risk of suffering structural damage during a moderate to large earthquake compared with those built after 1980, when design improvements became standard.
Businesses
Seismic activity can cause great loss to businesses, both large-scale corporations and small retail shops. When a company is forced to stop production for even one day, the economic loss can be tremendous, especially when its market for goods and services is at a national or global level. Seismic activity can create economic loss that create a burden on owners who may have difficulty recovering from their losses. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), forty percent of businesses do not reopen after a disaster, and other twenty-five percent fail within one year. Similar statistics from the United States Small Business Administration indicate that over ninety percent of businesses fail within two years after being struck by a disaster.
Individual Preparedness
The HMC recognizes the significant need for individuals, households, and businesses to develop an earthquake preparedness mindset. Because the potential for earthquake occurrences and earthquake related property damage is relatively high in the greater Los Angeles County area, it is recommended that property owners strap down heavy furniture, water heaters, and expensive personal property, They should also consider purchasing earthquake insurance and anchoring buildings to foundations as additional preparedness initiatives.
6.1.b

2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
44 Fire
Downed power lines or broken gas mains often trigger fires. When fire stations suffer damage, there is less likelihood that responders will be able to quickly extinguish fires caused by earthquake or otherwise. Furthermore, major incidents demand a larger share of resources, and smaller fires and problems receive little or insufficient resources in the initial hours after a major earthquake event. The loss of electricity may also reduce water pressure, further hampering firefighting ability.
Debris
After damage to a variety of structures, a great deal of time is spent cleaning up brick, glass, wood, steel or concrete building elements, office and home contents, and other materials.
Developing a strong debris management strategy is essential in post-disaster recovery.
Impact of Climate Change:
Generally, there is no known direct connection between fault rupturing and climate change.
Some evidence suggests that greater oceanic pressure on tectonic plates as a result of melting land ice could influence the behavior of seismic events, but there is little indication that this would play a major factor in any seismic event, including fault rupturing.
There is no direct link between climate change and seismic activity that could impact Diamond Bar, so climate change is not expected to cause any changes to the frequency or intensity of seismic shaking. Some research indicates that climate change could result in “isostatic rebounds,” or a sudden upward movement of the crust as a result of reduced downward weight caused by glaciers. As glaciers are known to melt when global overall temperatures increase, climate change could indirectly lead to an increase in seismicity in Southern California.
Extreme Heat
Hazard Description
Extreme heat is a period when temperatures are abnormally high relative when compared to the normal temperature range of a designated location. There are generally three types of extreme heat events:5
Extreme Heat Days: a day during which the maximum temperature surpasses 98 percent of all historic high temperatures for the area, using the time between April and October from 1961 to 1990 as the baseline.
Warm Nights: a day between April to October when the minimum temperature exceeds 98 percent of all historic minimum daytime temperatures observed between 1961 to 1990.
Extreme Heat Waves: a successive series of extreme heat days and warm nights where extreme temperatures do not abate. While no universally accepted minimum length of time for a heat wave event exists, Cal-Adapt considers four successive 5 NOAA National Weather Service
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 153
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
45 extreme heat days and warm nights to be the minimum threshold for an extreme heat wave.
Extreme heat events will feel different from region to region since different areas have different historic high temperatures. For example, an extreme heat day on the coast will feel different than an extreme heat day in the High Desert. This is the case because the humidity level is a factor in people’s perception of heat. Humid conditions will make a day feel hotter than non-humid conditions, even though the temperature may be the same. The difference between the perceived temperature and the actual temperature is known as the “heat index.” To illustrate the effect of the heat index, a 90-degree day with 50 percent humidity feels like 95°F whereas a 90°F day with 90 percent humidity feels like 122°F. Figure 11 shows National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s National Weather Service Heat Index.
Figure 11: NOAA National Weather Service Heat Index
Source: NOAA National Weather Service
Extreme heat poses several dangers to public health. The human body is less able to withstand long periods of high temperatures and will eventually enter a state of heat exhaustion and dehydration under long-term heat exposure. If exposure to high temperatures is prolonged to the point that internal body temperature surpasses 105°F, heat stroke and organ failure may occur without intervention, death may soon follow.
Location and Extent:
Extreme heat events are not limited to any part of the city. They occur with the same intensity and duration at the same time across all locations in Diamond Bar. The minimum threshold for an extreme heat day in Diamond Bar is 93.2°F. The minimum threshold for a warm night in Diamond Bar 66.4°F.
Previous Occurrences:
The NCEI database has recorded five extreme heat events which have occurred within proximity to Diamond Bar over the past 20 years.

Vulnerability and Impact:
People
Extreme heat can gravely affect the population. At certain levels the human body cannot maintain proper internal temperatures and may experience adverse health effects to include, headaches, dizziness, weakness, cramping, nausea, vomiting, confusion, dehydration, and in some cases death. The very young, elderly, persons with special needs and handicapped persons are vulnerable to extreme heat. The percentage of the most vulnerable population in each county is presented below:

47 Property
Extreme heat does not typically have a significant impact on buildings. However, depending on its scale, critical facilities such as roads, bridges, power lines and other energy generating facilities, and water supply systems can be affected by heat stress on metal and road materials, or become overused and create system break downs and outages. The increased use of air conditioning in homes and workplaces during heat events can compound into a significant demand on energy that can lead to utility “brownouts” and “blackouts”.
Brownouts can be an intentional or unintentional drop in voltage in an electrical power supply system or grid. Intentional brownouts are used by power companies in an emergency for load reduction to prevent a total power outage. They can last for minutes or hours. Different types of electrical equipment will react in different ways to brownouts. Some devices will be severely affected, while others may not be affected at all.
Blackouts can be a short- or long-term loss of electrical power to a limited or widespread area. There are many causes of power failures in electric networks; however, a significant overload of the system, such as one occurring to an extreme heat event, can lead to a blackout.
Environment
Extended periods of extreme heat can have devastating effects on the natural environment, including water supply, which can impact drinking water, as well as water for irrigation, navigation and recreation. When accompanied by drought, periods of extreme heat can also result in extensive crop failure and increase the risk of wildfires.
Impact of Population Growth and Development on Extreme Heat Diamond Bar currently have no land-use or development policies directly related to Extreme Heat. There has been no new adoption of development or building regulations designed to increase or decrease the overall vulnerability to Extreme Heat. The greatest potential change in land use and future development may be a decrease in agriculture areas that can be converted to residential or commercial uses.
Impact of Climate Change:
The primary effect of climate change is warmer average temperatures. The hottest years on record have all occurred since the turn of the millennium, and the years and 2016 and 2019 are currently the hottest and second hottest years thus designated. As climate change accelerates in the emissions continue to rise through the year 2100, the number of extreme heat days 21st century, it is anticipated that extreme heat events experienced by California, including Diamond Bar, will become more frequent and more intense. If, as expected, global greenhouse gas could increase to as many as 25 days per year. The number of warm nights could increase from 4 to 41 assuming an emissions peak and decline at 2040 but could increase to as many as 86 if emissions continue to rise until the year 2100.

48 Flood
Hazard Description
Floods generally result from excessive precipitation, and the severity of a flooding event is typically determined by a combination of several major factors. These factors include stream and river basin topography and physiography; precipitation and weather patterns; recent soil moisture conditions; the degree of vegetative clearing; and the number of impervious surfaces. Drainages and stream courses may flood their banks and shores if their capacity is exceeded by rainwater. When heavy rainfall hits an area where the ground is already saturated, the risk of flooding is high. In developed areas, the presence of pavement and other impervious surfaces lessens the ground’s ability to absorb excess water. As a result, rainwater must be carried away in storm channels or waterways.
The primary types of general flooding are inland and coastal flooding. Inland or riverine flooding is a function of excessive precipitation levels and water runoff volumes within the watershed of a stream or river. These waterways are affected by large- scale weather systems that generate prolonged rainfall over a wide geographic area. Some river floods occur seasonally when winter or spring rainfalls fill river basins with too much water, too quickly. Torrential rains from decaying hurricanes or tropical systems can also produce river flooding.
Secondary hazards from floods can include:
Erosion or scouring of stream banks, roadway embankments, foundations, footings for bridge piers, and other features.
Impact damage to structures, roads, bridges, culverts, and other features from highvelocity flow and from debris carried by floodwaters. Such debris may also accumulate on bridge piers and in culverts, increasing loads on these assets, or causing overtopping or backwater effects.
Release of sewage and hazardous or toxic materials when wastewater treatment plants are inundated, storage tanks are damaged, and pipelines are severed.
Location and Extent:
The City falls almost completely within the San Gabriel River Basin, which spans 713 square miles across Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The northern half of the city primarily drains into San Jose Creek, partially via Diamond Bar Creek. Most of the southern half of the city, as well as the Sphere of Influence ( SOI), drains into Brea Canyon Creek.
Small areas in the northeast of the city are within the Santa Ana River Basin, draining locally into Chino Creek. Consequently, none of these water area flow through the City and there has been no historic flooding caused by any of these rivers in the Diamond Bar.
In Diamond Bar the 100-year flood zone lies near the intersection of Brea Canyon Road and Lycoming Street, along the Reed Canyon Channel. Another 100-year flood zone runs through Tonner Canyon Creek in the SOI. Figure 12 provides a depiction of the SFHAs located in the City of Diamond Bar. The reaches of the 100-year flood levels are located along the San Jose Creek which is located outside of the city’s boundaries.

49 Figure 12: City of Diamond Bar FIRM
Floodplains are areas that experience frequent flooding and are often designated by FEMA as Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). While it is possible for areas outside of these designated floodplains to experience flooding, the most likely locations to experience future flooding are low-lying areas near bodies of water. FEMA is the governmental body responsible for designating which areas of the United States can be classified as floodplains.
These areas are mapped and identified on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). Flood events are measured by their likelihood of occurrence.
For instance, a 100-year flood is a flood that has a 1 in 100 (1.0 percent) chance of occurring in any given year. A 500-year flood is a flood that has a 1 in 500 (0.2 percent) chance of occurring in any given year. The 100-year flood has been designated as the benchmark for major flood events, and thus 100-year floods are referred to as “base floods.” The three most common designations as described on FIRMs are:
Special Flood Hazard Area: The area within a 100-year floodplain. Moderate Flood Hazard Area: The area outside of the 100-year floodplain but within the 500-year floodplain.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 158
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
50 Minimum Flood Hazard Area: The area outside of the 500-year floodplain.
Within these three designations, FEMA has developed multiple floodplain categories for each unique environment.

51 Previous Occurrences:
January 1995 Flooding-Flooding in Diamond Bar is caused primarily by heavy rainfall. In January 1995, heavy rains caused extensive channel erosion and undermining of the bridge footings and concrete channel lining at Golden Springs Road, near Sycamore Canyon Park.
The damage was limited to sections of the Park, and there were no reported casualties or injuries. Total losses were $37,150, with FEMA providing financial support to repair the channel. Footings were repaired and large rocks were placed along the channel to prevent future erosion.
2017 Winter Storm Flooding-The major winter storms of January 18-23, 2017 caused serious damage to portions of Sycamore Canyon Park. In addition to playground and creek bed damage, the heavy rains created an excessive volume of water at Sycamore Canyon Park that resulted in significant erosion and slope failure near the Diamond Bar Boulevard trailhead. The slope failure undermined two of the four tiers of stairway that lead to the trail, rendering access unsafe. The trailhead and stairway access were subsequently closed to the public, with repairs now complete and the trail open to hikers. The City of Diamond Bar Public Works Department submitted a claim to FEMA and worked with consulting experts to conduct geotechnical and engineering assessments to determine the best course of action to remediate the damage, concluding that the safest and most effective reconstruction of the hillside requires the removal and replacement of the undermined stairs, decompaction of the slope, and the installation of increased drainage facilities to prevent a similar event from happening again for a total project cost of $1.2 million.6 There are 10 flood insurance policies in force in the City. Total insurance coverage for these policies amounts to $2,910,000, however no repetitive loss properties were identified by the City’s Floodplain Manager.
Probability of Future Events:
There is no indication that the severe rainfall that leads to flooding will decrease in the future, either in Diamond Bar or the greater region of Southern California. While Diamond Bar may experience prolonged periods of dry or wet years, minor flood events will likely continue to impact the city. For areas within the 100-year and 500-year flood hazard zones, the likelihood of flooding to occur on an annual basis is 1% and 0.2%, respectively.
Vulnerability and Impact:
Local drainage problems can occur in the City of Diamond Bar. The problems are often present where storm water runoff enters culverts or goes underground into storm drains.
Inadequate drain maintenance may also contribute to the flood hazard in urban areas. The City contracts for street maintenance services, to include catch basin cleaning; storm patrol/debris clean-up; and curb-gutter-sidewalk inspection and repairs.
Property Loss
The type of property damage caused by flood events depends on the depth and velocity of the flood waters. Faster moving flood waters have been known to wash buildings off their 6 https://www.diamondbarca.gov/801/Sycamore-Canyon-Park-Slope-Erosion-Repair
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 160
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
52 foundations and sweep cars downstream. Pipelines, bridges, and other infrastructure are at risk when high waters sweep along flood debris and both hit a structure. Extensive damage can be caused by basement flooding and landslide damage related to soil saturation from flood events. Most flood damage is caused by water saturating materials susceptible to loss (i.e., wood, insulation, wallboard, fabric, furnishings, floor coverings, and appliances). In many cases, flood damage to homes renders them uninhabitable.
Business/Industry
Flood events impact businesses by damaging property and by interrupting business. Flood events can may off customer access to a business and, worse, cause a business to close for repairs. A quick response to the needs of businesses affected by flood events goes a long way toward helping a community maintain economic vitality in the face of flood damage.
Responses to business damages can include funding to assist owners with measures such as elevating or relocating flood-prone business structures.
Public Infrastructure
Publicly owned facilities are a key component of daily life for all citizens of the city. Damage to public water and sewer systems, transportation networks, flood control facilities, emergency facilities, and offices can hinder the ability of the government to deliver services.
Government can take preemptive action to reduce risk to public infrastructure from flood events, as well as craft public policy that reduces risk to private property from flood events. A focus of this plan is to help the City of Diamond Bar do just this.
Roads
During hazard events, or any type of emergency or disaster, dependable road connections are critical for first responders to be able to provide emergency services. Roads systems in the City are maintained by multiple jurisdictions. Federal, state, county, and city governments all have a stake in protecting roads from flood damage. Road networks often traverse floodplain and floodway areas. Transportation agencies responsible for road maintenance are typically aware of roads at risk from flooding.
Water/Wastewater/Storm Water Systems
The City receives its water services from Walnut Valley Water District and wastewater/sewer services from the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Local drainage problems are common citywide and the City’s maintenance and operations staff is aware of local drainage threats. The problems often occur where storm water runoff enters culverts or goes underground into storm sewers. This can lead to environmental quality problems include bacteria, toxins, and pollution. Inadequate maintenance can also contribute to the flood hazard in urban areas.
Impact of Climate Change:
Climate change is expected to alter the frequency of intense precipitation events throughout California, including Diamond Bar. Intense rainfall is expected to occur more frequently (perhaps twice as often by the end of the 21st century) and potentially drop up to 40 percent more rain overall. These projected changes likely mean that Diamond Bar can experience more frequent and more intense flooding.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 161
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
53 Heavy Rain
Hazard Description
During heavy rain events, rain can fall at such a high rate that it cannot drain away fast enough. This may cause flooding, leading to inundation and potential damage to buildings, road networks, public areas, utilities, and critical infrastructure, and other assets. In California, heavy rainfall events are often short, intense bursts of rain, but in some cases heavy rain can persist for multiple days.
Precipitation in California varies from year to year depending on how much moisture the state receives from atmospheric rivers. Atmospheric rivers are corridors along which wet air travels from the tropics to continents. When the moisture moves into in California, it may fall as either rain or snow. One of the most known atmospheric rivers in California is the “Pineapple Express,” which brings moist air from the ocean surrounding Hawaii to California.
During certain years, an immense amount of moisture may be transported along the atmospheric rivers that cross over California, leading to severe rains.
Another weather phenomenon influencing rainfall in southern California is “El Niño,” officially referred to as the “Southern Oscillation” or “El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)”.7 ENSO can cause increased rainfall, particularly during the winter months, which is caused by warming the surface of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, leading to evaporation of warm, moist air into the atmosphere. Winds bring this moisture to the eastern Pacific and the American continents, where it falls as rain. ENSO does not always lead to increased rainfall by default but, in general, it can increase the chances for a winter with higher than usual precipitation.
Location and Extent:
The location and size of a rain event varies depending on regional geography as well as regional and global weather events. For example, small precipitation events may occur in only one section of Diamond Bar. In contrast, a large rain event could inundate a majority of Los Angeles County, as well as other parts of southern California. Heavy rain events are usually measured by the amount of precipitation that falls. Table 21 categorizes heavy rain events by the amount of precipitation falling per hour. 7 https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/teleconnections/enso/ensotech.php#:~:text=El%20Ni%C3%B1o%20and%20the%20Southern,across%20the%20equatorial%20P acific%20Ocean.&text=variation%20in%20sea%20level%20barometric,as%20measured%20by%20a %20barometer.)

2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
55 wash buildings off their foundations and sweep cars downstream. Pipelines, bridges, and other infrastructure are at risk when high waters sweep along flood debris and both hit a structure. Extensive damage can be caused by basement flooding and landslide damage related to soil saturation from flood events. Most flood damage is caused by water saturating materials susceptible to loss (i.e., wood, insulation, wallboard, fabric, furnishings, floor coverings, and appliances). In many cases, flood damage to homes renders them uninhabitable.
Business/Industry
Heavy rain events impact businesses by damaging property and by interrupting business.
These events can cut off customer access to a business and, worse, cause a business to close for repairs. A quick response to the needs of businesses affected by heavy rain events goes a long way toward helping a community maintain economic vitality in the face of flood damage. Responses to business damages can include funding to assist owners with measures such as elevating or relocating flood-prone business structures.
Public Infrastructure
Publicly owned facilities are a key component of daily life for all citizens of the city. Damage to public water and sewer systems, transportation networks, flood control facilities, emergency facilities, and offices can hinder the ability of the government to deliver services.
Government can take preemptive action to reduce risk to public infrastructure from heavy rain events, as well as craft public policy that reduces risk to private property from heavy rain events. A focus of this plan is to help the City of Diamond Bar do just this.
Roads
During hazard events, or any type of emergency or disaster, dependable road connections are critical for first responders to be able to provide emergency services. Roads systems in the City are maintained by multiple jurisdictions. Federal, state, county, and city governments all have a stake in protecting roads from flood damage. Road networks often traverse floodplain and floodway areas. Transportation agencies responsible for road maintenance are typically aware of roads at risk from flooding.
Water/Wastewater/Storm Water Systems
The City receives its water services from Walnut Valley Water District and wasterwater/sewer services from the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Local drainage problems are common citywide and the City’s maintenance and operations staff is aware of local drainage threats. The problems often occur where storm water runoff enters culverts or goes underground into storm sewers. This can lead to environmental quality problems include bacteria, toxins, and pollution. Inadequate maintenance can also contribute to the flood hazard in urban areas.
Rain Storm Mitigation Activities
Heavy rain storm mitigation activities outlined for the City include educating the public regarding the potential impacts and threats and encouraging the public to prepare themselves in an effort to mitigate the impact of a disastrous or catastrophic rain storms.
6.1.b

2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
56 Changes in Development
Since the last Hazard Mitigation Plan update, the vulnerability of to heavy rain storm to the City has remained the same. No appreciable number of new structures or removal of existing structures has occurred since the last HMP was written. As such, there is no increase or decrease the probability of this hazard in the City.
Impact of Climate Change:
Climate change is expected to alter the frequency of intense precipitation events throughout California, including Diamond Bar. Intense rainfall is expected to occur more frequently (perhaps twice as often by the end of the 21st century) and potentially drop up to 40 percent more rain overall. These projected changes likely mean that Diamond Bar can experience more frequent and more intense heavy rain fall storms.
Landslides
Hazard Description
Landslide is a general term for the dislodging and fall of a mass of soil or rocks along a sloped surface, or for the dislodged mass itself. The term is used for varying phenomena, including mudflows, mudslides, debris flows, rock falls, rockslides, debris avalanches, debris slides, and slump-earth flows. Landslides may result from a wide range of combinations of natural rock, soil, or artificial fill. The susceptibility of hillside and mountainous areas to landslides depends on variations in geology, topography, vegetation, and weather. Slopes that have recently burned face a greater risk from rain-induced landslides as the fires burn up many of the trees, brush, and other vegetation that help stabilize the earth. Earthquakes may also be a source of landslides as the shaking can destabilize already loosened soils.
Landslides may also occur because of indiscriminate development of sloping ground or the creation of cut-and-fill slopes in areas of unstable or inadequately stable geologic conditions.
Additionally, landslides often occur together with other natural hazards, thereby exacerbating conditions, as described below:
Shaking due to earthquakes may trigger events ranging from rock falls and topples to massive slides.
Intense or prolonged precipitation that causes flooding can also saturate slopes and cause failures leading to landslides.
Wildfires remove vegetation from hillsides, significantly increasing runoff and landslide potential.
Another type of landslide occurs in areas cut by perennial streams. As floodwaters erode channel banks, clay-rich sedimentary rocks along the rivers are undercut along their south bank, thereby destabilizing the ground and causing the ground above it to slide.
Subsidence
Subsidence occurs when the level of the ground decreases, as if the surface is sinking.
Subsidence can either be sudden (as in a sinkhole) or happen gradually over time. It can be caused by mining, groundwater pumping, or fossil fuel extraction, creating empty underground spaces that can collapse and cause the soil above to drop. Erosion, natural cave collapses, and seismic activity can also cause subsidence.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 165
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
57 Location and Extent:
There is the potential for landslides in the steeper portions of the City in the Brea Canyon foothills, situated in the southeastern corner of the San Gabriel Valley. These areas are characterized by steep topography and geologic units that can become unstable. In 2011, CGS created a deep-seated landslide grip map, which uses a scale of landslide susceptibility that is based on slope steepness and the strength of the underlying rock, with 0 being no susceptibility and 10 being the highest susceptibility. As shown in Figure 13, the majority of the City’s residential neighborhoods, as well as the majority of the SOI, contain steep slopes that have increased risk of landslides, including hillsides that have historically been unstable.
Figure 13: Landslide Grip Map for City of Diamond Bar
Subsidence
The most likely locations for subsidence in Diamond Bar are the low-lying areas that sit on top of the LACWD groundwater basin. In terms of extent, subsidence is typically measured by the distance that the ground has sunk from its original elevation (i.e., in feet or inches), or by using the rate of subsidence (i.e., inches or centimeters per year). There is evidence of subsidence throughout Los Angeles County (including Diamond Bar) as a result of excessive
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 166
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
58 groundwater pumping in the first half of the 20th century. This occurred prior to the development of the California State Water Project, which siphons water from the Owens Valley. It is currently estimated that the greater LA Basin experiences approximately 20 mm of net subsidence seasonally due to groundwater pumping and artificial recharge.
Figure 14: Liquefaction Zones for City of Diamond Bar
Previous Occurrences:
Like much of California, Los Angeles County has experienced landslides. Los Angeles County landslides have historically been triggered by earthquakes. Landslides tied to the 1971 San Fernando, 1989 Loma Prieta, and 1994 Northridge Earthquakes destroyed or damaged numerous homes/structures, blocked major transportation corridors, and damaged lifeline infrastructure.
Landslides are generally trigged by intense and/or prolonged rainfall but can also occur after an earthquake. Major landslides have occurred throughout the Southern California region.
For example, landslides were set off by the 1971 San Fernando and 1994 Northridge earthquakes. As a master planned community, the City of Diamond Bar has taken numerous
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 167

59 steps to mitigate landslide hazards as part of the development process. As a result, the City has not experienced significant landslide events.

Probability of Future Events:
Available information enables us to calculate probability based on events during the 20-year reporting period of 2000-2020. Landslide events have occurred in 4 of the 20-year reporting period, so there is a 20 % chance of a severe wind event occurring in Diamond Bar in any given year.
Vulnerability and Impact:
Given the topography and within the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley foothills and Angeles National Forest, it is anticipated that landslide risk will remain high in those areas. The high percentage of water gives the debris flow a very rapid rate of movement down a slope.
Debris flows often with speeds greater than 20 mile per hour or faster, which causes debris flows to be extremely dangerous to people and property in its path. Landslides and their impacts vary by location and severity and will likely only affect certain areas of the county during specific times. Based on the risk assessment, it is evident that landslides will continue to have potentially devastating economic impacts to certain areas of the City.
Roads and Bridges
There are often high roadway losses stemming from landslide hazards in the City. The City and Los Angeles County are responsible for maintenance of public roads. They are tasked with responding to slides that inhibit the flow of traffic or are damaging a road or a bridge.
The road departments do their best to communicate with residents and businesses impacted by landslides.
It is not cost-effective to mitigate all slides because of limited funds, and because some historical slides are likely to become active again even with mitigation measures. The City and County alleviate problem areas by grading slides, and by installing new drainage systems on the slopes to divert water from the landslides. This type of response activity is often the most cost-effective in the short-term but is only temporary. Unfortunately, many property owners are unaware of their risk to slides and the dangers associated with them.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 168
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
60 Lifelines and Critical Facilities
Lifelines and critical facilities should remain accessible, if possible, during a natural hazard event. The impact of closed transportation arteries is increased if the closed road or bridge is critical for access to hospitals and other emergency facilities. Landslide events may often cause loss of power and phone service. Heavy rains may accelerate hillside soil erosion, resulting in loss of soil support beneath high voltage transmission towers in hillsides and remote areas. Flood events can also cause landslides, which may seriously impact on gas lines that are located in vulnerable soils.
Changes in Development
Since the last Plan update, the vulnerability of a landslide to the City has remained the same, however the potential duration of an event of this nature has increased from less than 1 week to more than week. The increase in duration is due to the potential threat that an event like this has to disrupt business and residential activity for an extended period of time.
Landslides remain a hazard in the City and continue to be one for which the HMC has established and complete mitigation action items. There has been no new development of structures added or removed that increase or decrease the probability of this hazard in the city.
Impact of Climate Change:
Due to a variety of factors that create conditions conducive to landslide occurrence, it is possible that climate change could indirectly affect the conditions for landslides. More frequent and more intense rains may cause more moisture-induced landslides. Warmer temperatures and more frequent drought conditions may lead to more fires, which could destabilize soil and make future landslide events more likely.
The relationship between climate change and subsidence is not well established but it is possible that climate change could indirectly influence subsidence in Diamond Bar. While more intense rainstorms could potentially recharge underground aquifers, adequate infrastructure would need to be available to accommodate this water, allowing for greater recharge. Such recharge would reduce the risk of subsidence. On the other hand, more severe and prolonged periods of drought may encourage more groundwater withdrawals and increase the risk of subsidence.
Severe Wind
Hazard Description
Based on local history, most incidents of high wind in the City of Diamond Bar are the result of the Santa Ana wind conditions. While high impact wind incidents are not frequent in the area, significant Santa Ana Wind events and sporadic tornado activity have been known to negatively impact the local community. Santa Ana winds are generally defined as warm, dry winds that blow from the east or northeast (offshore). These winds occur below the passes and canyons of the coastal ranges of Southern California and in the Los Angeles basin.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 169
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
61 Santa Ana winds often blow with exceptional speed in the Santa Ana Canyon (the canyon from which it derives its name). Forecasters at the National Weather Service offices in Oxnard and San Diego usually place speed minimums on these winds and reserve the use of "Santa Ana" for winds greater than 25 knots.” These winds accelerate to speeds of 35 knots as they move through canyons and passes, with gusts to 50 or even 60 knots.
Figure 15: Santa Ana Winds Pattern
Location and Extent:
The occurrence of severe wind events is regional in nature and scope, which holds true for Diamond Bar. As such, when windstorms/tornados occur, they typically affect the entire city and its sphere of influence. In Southern California, the most common type of severe wind event is called the Santa Ana winds. High pressure over Nevada and Utah, often during the fall and winter months, forces air down from the high desert toward the ocean. Diamond Bar is often affected by Santa Ana winds blowing through the Santa Ana Mountain range. Santa Ana winds are a leading cause of wildfires in California.
Generally, winds are measured using the Beaufort scale, developed in 1805, which categorizes wind events on a force scale from 0 to 12 using their speed and impacts. Any wind that is classified as force 9 or above is generally considered to be a severe wind event.
Table 24 shows how the Beaufort Scale classifies wind events in detail.

Probability of Future Events:
California and the City of Diamond Bar will continue to experience . Available information enables us to calculate probability based on events during the 20-year reporting period of 2000-2020. Severe wind events have occurred in 19 of the 20-year reporting period, so there is a 90 % chance of a severe wind event occurring in Diamond Bar in any given year.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 172
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
64 Vulnerability and Impact:
Given the analysis of the high wind and tornado events depicted in the hazard description, it can be deduced windstorm will continue to affect the planning area and impact people, property, utilities, infrastructure, and transportation. Additionally, if a windstorm disrupts power to local residential communities, the American Red Cross and City resources might be called upon to open shelters and care for evacuees. Displacing residents and utilizing City resources for shelter staffing and disaster cleanup can cause an economic hardship on the community.
Both residential and commercial structures with weak reinforcement are susceptible to damage. Wind pressure can create a direct and frontal assault on a structure, pushing walls, doors, and windows inward. Conversely, passing currents can create suction forces that pull building components and surfaces outward. Extreme wind forces may cause the roof or the entire building to fail and cause considerable damage.
For example, tree limbs breaking in winds of only 45 mph can be thrown over 75 feet and become flying debris that damages structures at this speed. Overhead power lines can be damaged even in relatively minor windstorm events. Falling trees can bring electric power lines down to the pavement, creating the possibility of lethal electric shock to persons unfamiliar with the risk of exposure to the lines. Rising population growth and new infrastructure in the region creates a higher probability that damage will occur from windstorms as more life and property are exposed to risk.
Windstorms can result in collapsed or damaged buildings or blocked roads and bridges, damaged traffic signals, streetlights, and parks, among others. Roads blocked by fallen trees during a windstorm may limit the ability of people to access to emergency services.
Emergency response operations can be complicated when roads are blocked or when power supplies are interrupted. Industry and commerce can suffer losses from interruptions in electric services and from extended road closures. They can also sustain direct losses to buildings, personnel, and other vital equipment. Both physical damage and interrupted services may impact the local economy in the wake of a windstorm even.
Perhaps the greatest danger from windstorm activity in Southern California comes from the combination of the Santa Ana winds that fan major fires that occur every few years in the urban/wildland interface. With the Santa Ana winds driving the flames, the speed and reach of the flames is even greater than during calm wind conditions.
However, severe windstorms pose a significant risk to life and property in the region by creating conditions that disrupt essential systems such as public utilities, telecommunications, and transportation routes. High winds can and do occasionally cause tornado-like damage to local homes and businesses. Severe windstorms can present a destabilizing effect on dry brush that covers local hillsides and urban wildland interface (WUI) areas.
Based on the history of the region, windstorm events can be expected, perhaps annually, across widespread areas of the region which can be adversely impacted during a windstorm event.
Life and Property
Many of the impacts to life and property resulting from windstorm events are also discussed under the section addressing Severe Wind.
Historical data also shows that windstorm events can be expected, perhaps annually, across widespread areas of the region that can be adversely impacted during a windstorm event.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 173
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
65 The involvement of City’s emergency response personnel may be called to action during a wide-ranging windstorm or microburst tornadic activity. Both residential and commercial structures with weak reinforcement are susceptible to damage. As was stated in the discussion of Severe Wind, wind pressure creates a direct and frontal assault on a structure, pushing walls, doors, and windows inward. Conversely, passing currents creates lift suction forces that pull building components and surfaces outward. With extreme wind forces, the roof or entire building can fail causing considerable damage. Debris carried along by extreme winds can directly contribute to loss of life and indirectly to the failure of protective building envelopes, siding, or walls. When severe windstorms strike a city, downed trees, power lines, and damaged property can be major hindrances to emergency response and disaster recovery.
Utilities
Historically, falling trees are the major cause of power outages in the region. Windstorms such as strong microbursts and Santa Ana Wind conditions cause flying debris and downed utility lines. For example, tree limbs breaking in winds of only 45 mph can be thrown over 75 feet, overhead Power lines are damaged, even in relatively minor windstorm events. Falling trees bring electric power lines down to the pavement, creating the possibility of lethal electric shock.
Infrastructure
Windstorms damage buildings, power lines, and other property, and infrastructure, due to falling trees and branches. During wet winters, saturated soils cause trees to become less stable and more vulnerable to uprooting from high winds.
Increased Fire Threat
Perhaps the greatest danger from windstorm activity in Southern California comes from the combination of the Santa Ana winds with the major fires that occur every few years in the urban/wildland interface. With the Santa Ana winds driving the flames, the speed and reach of the flames is even greater than in times of calm wind conditions.
Transportation
Windstorm activity impacts local transportation in addition to the problems caused by downed trees and electrical wires blocking streets and highways. During periods of extremely strong Santa Ana winds, major highways can be temporarily closed to truck and recreational vehicle traffic. However, typically these disruptions are not long lasting, nor do they carry a severe long term economic impact on the region.
Windstorm Mitigation Activities
The Windstorm mitigation activities outlined for the City include educating the public regarding the potential impacts and threats and encouraging the public to prepare themselves in an effort to mitigate the impact of a disastrous or catastrophic windstorm.

66 may affect travel conditions, thus impact economic industries for which the transport of goods is essential, as well as the general safety of motorists otherwise.
Wildfire
Hazard Description
A wildfire can rapidly spread out of control. Such events generally occur most often in the summer, when the brush is dry, and flames can move unchecked through a dense vegetative area. The fire often begins unnoticed and spreads quickly, lighting brush, trees, and homes. It may be started by a campfire that was not doused properly, a tossed cigarette, burning debris, lightning strike, or arson.
Wildfires can start as a slow burning along the forest floor, killing and damaging trees. They often spread more rapidly as they reach tree tops, with wind carrying the flames from tree to tree. Usually, dense smoke is the first indication of a fire.
Wildfires can be a potentially damaging when they occur during a period of drought. While they are not confined to any specific geographic location, and can vary greatly in terms of size, location, intensity, and duration; they are most likely to occur in open grasslands. The threat to people and property is greater in the fringe areas where developed areas meet open grass lands
Wildfires are particularly prevalent in summer, autumn, and during droughts, when fallen branches, leaves, grasses, and scrub dry out and become highly flammable. Some experts believe that global warming is increasing the severity and frequency of droughts in many areas, thus creating more intense and frequent wildfires.
Wildfires tend to be most common and severe during years of drought and occur on days featuring strong winds and low humidity. With the current level of extensive urbanization of wildlands, such events often involve destruction of suburban homes located in the wildland urban interface (WUI), a zone of transition between developed areas and undeveloped wildland. Wildfires crossing into developed areas have caused large-scale damage to both private and public property and, in the process, destroyed homes and caused deaths.
Additionally, fires can start in urban areas and spread into wildland areas. Causes of urban fires include electrical-related structural and vehicle fires, incendiary arson, unattended cooking fires, smoking materials, heating devices, fuel systems, sparks, hazardous material spills, and spontaneous combustion.
Location and Extent:
Diamond Bar is at high risk for wildland fires, which have the potential to threaten life and property. The city is surrounded by natural areas to the east in Tres Hermanos Ranch, and the south in Tonner Canyon, and there are still many hillsides that remain undeveloped. In addition, some homes in Diamond Bar have older, wood shingle roofs, which are susceptible to strong winds that have been known to occur in the area and may easily spread ignited fires. Even with these risks, the Insurance Service Organization (ISO) in the year 2000 gave the city a rating of three on a scale of one to ten, with one being the highest score. This is a good rating for an urban area. This rating takes into account natural risks as well as the level of available fire protection services.

Many of these areas are vacant or open space areas, though the majority of the Country Estates subdivision is also designated as high risk. The entirety of the SOI, which consists mostly of open space on steep slopes, is designated as a fire hazard, with the vast majority rated by CAL FIRE as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.

Description
Low (L) Dark Green
Fuels do not ignite readily from small firebrands, although a more intense heat source, such as lightning, may start fires in duff or punky wood. Fires in open cured grasslands may burn freely a few hours after rain, but woods fires spread slowly by creeping or smoldering, and burn in irregular fingers. There is little danger of spotting.

69 Fire Danger Rating and
Color Code
Description
Moderate (M) Light Green
or Blue
Fires can start from most accidental causes, but except for lightning fires in some areas, the number of starts is generally low.
Fires in open cured grasslands will burn briskly and spread rapidly on windy days. Timber fires spread slowly to moderately fast. The average fire is of moderate intensity, although heavy concentrations of fuel, especially draped fuel, may burn hot. Short-distance spotting may occur but is not persistent. Fires are not likely to become serious and control is relatively easy.
High (H) Yellow
All fine dead fuels ignite readily, and fires start easily from most causes. Unattended brush and campfires are likely to escape. Fires spread rapidly and short-distance spotting is common. High intensity burning may develop on slopes or in concentrations of fine fuels. Fires may become serious and their control difficult unless they are attacked successfully while small.
Very High (VH) Orange
Fires start easily from all causes and, immediately after ignition, spread rapidly and increase quickly in intensity. Spot fires are a constant danger. Fires burning in light fuels may quickly develop high intensity characteristics, such as long-distance spotting and fire whirlwinds when they burn into heavier fuels.
Extreme (E) Red
Fires start quickly, spread furiously, and burn intensely. All fires are potentially serious. Development into high intensity burning will usually be faster and occur from smaller fires than in the very high fire danger class. Direct attack is rarely possible and may be dangerous except immediately after ignition. Fires that develop headway in heavy slash or in conifer stands may be unmanageable while the extreme burning condition lasts. Under these conditions the only effective and safe control action is on the flanks until the weather changes or the fuel supply lessens.
Source: U.S. Forest Service’s Wildland Fire Assessment System (USFS WFAS) Fire managers use the Ketch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI), a mathematical system for relating current and recent weather conditions to potential or expected fire behavior. This system, originally developed for the Southeastern United States, is based primarily on recent rainfall patterns and was specifically established to correlate the effects of drought with potential fire activities.
The KBDI attempts to measure the amount of precipitation needed to bring the top eight inches of soil back to saturation. A value of zero represents complete soil saturation or no moisture deficiency. A value of 800, the maximum fire drought indicator possible, means it would take eight inches of precipitation to fully saturate the soil. At any point in between, the KBDI number indicates the amount of precipitation it would take to bring the moisture level back to zero. High KBDI values indicate that conditions are favorable for the occurrence and spread of wildfires. The following shows how KBDI and expected fire potential relate.

70 Table 28: Ketch Byram Drought Index (KBDI)
KBD Expected Fire Potential
KBDI = 0 – 200: Soil and fuel moisture are high. Most fuels will not contribute to wildfire intensity. This condition is often seen in the spring after winter precipitation.
KBDI = 200 – 400: Fuels are beginning to dry and contribute to wildfire intensity. Heavier fuels will still not readily ignite and burn. This condition is often seen in late spring.
KBDI = 400 – 600: Wildfire intensity begins to increase significantly. Wildfires will readily burn, and larger fuels could burn or smolder for several days.
This is often the case during late summer and early fall.
KBDI = 600 – 800 Wildfires show extreme intensity. Deep-burning, intense wildfires with significant spotting can be expected. This often occurs during a severe drought.

Using the KBDI index is a good measure of the readiness of fuels for wildland fire. Caution should be exercised in dryer, hotter conditions, and the KBDI should be referenced as the area experiences changes in precipitation and soil moisture.
Previous Occurrences:
Large fires have been part of the Southern California landscape for millennia. “Written documents reveal that during the 19th century human settlement of southern California altered the fire regime of coastal California by increasing the fire frequency. This was an era of very limited fire suppression, and yet like today, large crown fires covering tens of thousands of acres were not uncommon. One of the largest fires in Los Angeles County (60,000 acres) occurred in 1878.
Although, the City of Diamond Bar has not been part of a major fire event, during the reporting period, it should be noted that several major fire events have affected the outlying areas in the Antelope Valley. Table 29 provides a list thefive major historical events.

Probability of Future Events:
Wildfires can occur at any time of the year. As the city expands into land currently designated as wildland, the potential area of occurrence of wildfire increases. Wildfire events have occurred in 7 of the 20-year reporting period, there is an 35% chance of a wildfire event occurring within or near the City of Diamond Bar in any given year.
Vulnerability and Impact:
Many brush plants in southern California’s are caused by chaparral seed quickly; leaving dead vegetation that is rich in nutrients, which are released into the soil by burning. Indeed, some chaparral plants, such as Ceanothus, have leaves that are coated with flammable resins, while others such as Chamise (greasewood), not only produce volatile gases when they burn, but also leave a water-resistant residue in the soil that prevents water absorption, which accelerates erosion on denuded slopes, increasing post-fire risks of flash flooding and mudslides in area communities.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 180
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
72 Life and Property
Building structure was discussed above in relation to wind hazards but bears repeating here.
Because many homes in the City are constructed with older, wood shingle roofs, they are susceptible to strong winds that can easily spread fires, a hazard familiar to the area. A review of previous fires occurring throughout the State in the WUI shows that many structures were destroyed or damaged for one or more of the following reasons:
The structures included combustible roofing material. The buildings constructed with wood.
Structures included no defensible space.
There was limited access for fire department to reach burning structures. Subdivisions were located in areas consisting of heavy natural fuel types. Structures were located on steep slopes covered with flammable vegetation. There was limited water supply.
Prevailing winds were 30 miles per hour or higher.
Buildings
The primary effects of fire – including as loss of life, injury, and destruction of buildings and wildlife -- are widely known. There are also a number of secondary effects stemming from fire, such as a strain on public utilities, depleted water supplies, downed power lines, disrupted telephone systems, and road closures. In addition, flood control facilities are overtaxed by the increased flow of water and material from bare hillsides, including travelling debris. Affected recreation areas may need to be close or access to same restricted for the safety of the general public. Moreover, buildings destroyed by fire are usually one previously eligible for property tax reassessment, so their loss reduces revenue to local government.
Road Access
It is critical that emergency service providers have road access to burning structures. As development encroaches into the rural areas of the county, the number of houses without adequate turn-around space is increasing. In many areas, there is not adequate space for emergency vehicle turnarounds in single-family residential neighborhoods, causing emergency workers to have difficulty doing their jobs because they cannot access houses.
Because fire trucks are large vehicles and are often accompanied by ambulance and medical personnel, should immediate medical care be required First responders are impeded when a development includes narrow roads and limited access, and when there is inadequate turn around space. In such cases, the best emergency personnel may be able to do is remove the occupants from burning structures, but they cannot safely remain on the scene to save the threatened structures.
Water Supply
In remote and rural areas, there is often a limited water supply and a lack of fire hydrants for fire fighters to tap into to access water. Rural areas are characteristically outfitted with systems that include pipes with a small diameter pipe, and these are inadequate for providing sustained firefighting flows.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 181
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
73 Interface Fire Education Programs and Enforcement
Fire protection in wildlife/urban interface (WUI) is more effective when a landowner exercises personal initiative to take measures to protect his or her own property. Therefore, public education and awareness plays a greater role in such areas. In areas with strict fire codes, property owners who resist maintaining the minimum brush clearances can be cited for failure to clear brush.
Changes in Development
As was discussed above, the City’s vulnerability to Wildfire has remained constant overall.
No new development has taken place, nor have older structures been removed, which would increase or decrease the probability of this hazard in the City. This validates what was previously listed in the last Plan and verifies what is currently listed in this Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Impact of Climate Change:
The prevalence of Increasingly higher temperatures and dryer climates are increasing the number of fires and also increasing the size of each fire and the potential for even more devastation. Climate change is expected to cause an increase in temperatures, as well as more frequent and intense drought conditions. This will likely increase the amount of dry plant matter available for fuel, increasing the risk of wildfire statewide.
Hazardous Materials (HazMat)
Hazard Description
Hazardous materials, as defined by the California Code of Regulations (CCR), are substances with certain physical properties that could pose a substantial present or future hazard to human health or the environment when improperly handled, disposed, or otherwise managed. This refers to a variety of injurious substances, including pesticides, herbicides, toxic metals, and chemicals, liquefied natural gas, explosives, volatile chemicals, and radioactive materials. Hazardous materials are commonly found throughout the City in households and businesses. Typical substances for residential and commercial use include motor oil, paint, cleaners and solvents, gasoline, refrigerants, and lawn and gardening chemicals. Sites where hazardous chemical compounds have been released into the environment can pose threats to health and ecological systems. Historic or current activities most often associated with industrial or commercial uses (including gas stations, car washes, etc.), may result in the release, leak, or disposal of toxic substances on or below the ground surface, where they may contaminate soil and ground water. Disturbance of the ground through grading or excavation can result in exposure of these chemicals to the public. Improper handling of contaminated sites may result in further exposure via airborne dust, surface water runoff, or vapors.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines a hazardous material as any substance or chemical that is a “health hazard” or “physical hazard” including:
Chemicals that are carcinogens, toxic agents, irritants, corrosives, sensitizers. Agents that act on the hematopoietic system.
Agents which damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 182
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
74 Chemicals that are combustible, explosive, flammable, oxidizers, pyrophoric, unstable-reactive, or water-reactive; and
Chemicals that, in the course of normal handling, use, or storage, may produce or release dust, gases, fumes, vapors, mists, or smoke which may have any of the previously mentioned characteristics.
The nine classes of hazardous materials are provided in Table 30.

Source: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Location and Extent:
Hazardous sites designated by both the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) are shown on Figure 18.
In general, contaminated sites are largely found along the city’s major local roadways (e.g., Diamond Bar Boulevard, Grand Avenue, Golden Springs Drive), particularly near where those local roadways intersect SR-57 or SR-60. Most sites listed by the SWRCB are leaking underground storage tank (LUST) cleanup sites, most of which were or are used as gas

75 stations and automobile repair shops. As of 2019, most of the cases referred to the SWRCB had closed.
Also present in the Planning Area are several sites enrolled in the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) program to regulate discharges into receiving waters. The program typically regulates discharges of domestic or municipal wastewater, food processing related wastewater, and industrial wastewater. As of 2019, there were 17 permitted underground storage tanks, one open LUST Cleanup Program case, one open SWRCB Cleanup Program case, nine WDR program sites, one open DTSC Voluntary Cleanup program case, and one open DTSC evaluation within the Planning Area.

Source: https://www.caloes.ca.gov/cal-oes-divisions/fire-rescue/hazardous-materials/spillrelease-reporting Probability of Future Events:
There is a high probability that a simple accident or an intentional release at facilities that house hazardous materials may occur in any given year. Those living or working near the location of such an incident may be at risk depending on the scale of the incident. Most of the releases within the City have occurred due to human error, malfunctioning equipment, or as a deliberate act. Therefore, it is anticipated that future events in the City will include minor incidents along the major transportation lines throughout the city. The probability of a future hazardous material spill occurring in Diamond Bar is 100 % in any given year.
Vulnerability and Impact:
The range of incident outcomes and extent runs from limited to extensive depending on the size of the incident, size of exposure to nearby structures and persons, and number of assets required for adequate decontamination/cleanup. In terms of the number of people potentially affected, larger quantities of material released into the air will affect a larger surrounding area. The reverse is also true as a smaller quantity released into the air will affect a more narrow area. Wind, rain, and other natural weather conditions occurring during such an event will hinder or foster the aerial spread of airborne hazardous materials.
Persons
Persons with property located within a half-mile buffer of a hazardous material incident are most vulnerable to exposure. First responders are also at risk while containing the spill; however, personal protective equipment (PPE) and other safety measures mitigate their potential exposure (time, distance, and shielding).
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 185
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
77 Impact of Industrial Accidents in the City
The threat of a major hazardous material incident impacting the City exists from six different sources: (1) commercial transport vehicles; (2) rail cars; (3) airborne industrial chemical release; (4) pipelines; (5) fixed facility locations; and (6) clandestine dumping. Given the nature and widespread location of industrial hazardous materials, it is difficult to identify specific sites or populations clusters that would be vulnerable to a particular hazardous event. As such, no specific infrastructure, government structure, or population centers have been identified as being targets or at any greater risk than any other location.
Freeway/Transportation
Transportation Systems may be impacted by a hazardous materials incident since the local population and community assets located within a half mile on either side of the railroad are most vulnerable to the effects of a hazardous material release. Heavy trucks carrying hazardous chemicals on State Route 57 and 60 pose the greatest risk to areas and populations within a half mile of the highway system. Variables, such as atmospheric conditions, wind direction and velocity, and type of chemical, will dictate with more specificity, vulnerable areas, and populations.
Utilities
Pipelines owned and operated by various companies run beneath the City’s streets. A rupture of any of these pipelines could pose major hazards to persons, property, and the environment. Ruptures in these lines have occurred at various locations within the region and will continue to pose risk to the community.
Additionally, storm water systems, wastewater systems, and water systems can be impacted by hazardous material spills. In the immediate aftermath of a spill, the City’s storm water system may be contaminated by released materials, which could be transported throughout these systems until responders are able to contain the spill. Equipment used for spill containment could be impacted, but companies mitigate against such damage when staff follow safety protocols to reduce or eliminate accidents. Infrastructure will be vulnerable if the hazardous material is being transported by rail or roadway should railway tracks or road asphalt become corroded or slick as a result of potential fires that may melt the transport surfaces or make them unusable. Air quality can become poor or dangerous depending on what and how much is released and released materials may dissipate over the entire jurisdiction and into neighboring communities. The fallout after an explosion would demonstrate the citizens’ vulnerability to such an event, as could highlight the degree to which hospitals are prepared for mass casualty events. Responders are vulnerable should an incident occur at one of their work locations if the crew stores large amounts of a product to clean the precinct or station. Also, many such locations include a fuel tank onsite or nearby, so responder cars, trucks, and ambulances are able to keep their vehicles fueled and ready to go when called up.
Changes in Development
Since the last Hazard Mitigation Plan update, the vulnerability of a major industrial accident to the City has remained the same. There has been no new development consisting of structures added to the built environment, or structures removed, that would increase or decrease the probability of this hazard occurring in the City.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 186
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
78 Climate Change Consideration
Climate-related natural hazard events, such as an intense flood, could cause hazardous materials release associated with transportation crashes or damage to storage containers or vessels containing these substances. Climate-related hazards could also exacerbate the effects and impacts of such events. For example, more intense rains could lead to more runoff from a site that is contaminated with hazardous materials. These issues should be monitored during the 5-year implementation period of this plan.
Human Infectious Disease/Pandemic
Hazard Description
An infectious disease is defined as a clinically evident disease resulting from the presence of pathogenic microbial agents. According to FEMA, infectious diseases are a major threat worldwide, killing millions globally each year. Transmission of an infectious disease may occur through one or more means, including physical contact with infected individuals.
Infecting agents may also be transmitted through liquids, food, bodily fluids, contaminated objects, airborne inhalation, or vector-borne dissemination.
Three terms are commonly used to classify disease impacts: endemic, epidemic, and pandemic. An endemic disease is always present at a low frequency (e.g., chicken pox in the United States). An epidemic is a sudden severe outbreak of disease (e.g., the bubonic plague during Medieval times), and a pandemic is an epidemic that becomes very widespread and affects a whole region, a continent, or the world (e.g., the 1957 flu pandemic caused at least 70,000 deaths in the United States and 1-2 million deaths worldwide). Fears of pandemic have risen in recent years as our globalized economy and growing worldwide population fosters large scale international travel and trade.
West Nile Virus is included in the California Department of Health’s (CDOH) comprehensive surveillance and monitoring program, and instances of the disease are managed on a caseby-case basis within the capabilities of state and local healthcare systems.
The results of this risk assessment indicated that, due to infrequent occurrence and very low impact, the hazard would not be included in the 2022 LHMP update. West Nile Virus will be re-evaluated in the next planning cycle to identify any change to its risk and vulnerability.
Humans are susceptible to various types of viral infection, most of which can be successfully managed through appropriate and timely medical surveillance, evaluation, and private care. Understandably, human infectious disease outbreaks routinely occur in any human population, but, fortunately, most viral outbreaks are limited in their spread through surveillance and monitoring systems and procedures that immediately identify the virus and initiate containment measures. Outbreaks are more likely to occur when a novel (new) virus appears in a population and may result in widespread infection that reaches epidemic or even pandemic proportions. The following definitions guide the determination of the scope and scale of a disease outbreak:
6.1.b

Disease Level Definition
Sporadic When a disease occurs infrequently and irregularly Endemic The baseline level of disease, marked by constant presence and/or usual prevalence of a disease or
infectious agent in a population within a geographic area Hyperendemic Persistent, high levels of disease occurrence Epidemic (or Outbreak, used for
a more limited geographic area)
An increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a
disease above what is normally expected in that population in that area
Pandemic An Epidemic that has spread over several countries or continents, usually affecting many people
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) This plan addresses human infectious disease outbreaks that result in pandemic. Other disease levels, including epidemic, are generally considered to be manageable within the capacity and capabilities of local resources, which may include mutual aid. For planning purposes, pandemic outbreaks are considered as “worst case scenarios” and appropriate mitigation actions that address pandemic outbreaks would also support outbreaks of lesser magnitudes.
Pandemics
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines a pandemic as an epidemic occurring worldwide or over a very wide area, crossing international boundaries, and usually affecting many people. A pandemic outbreak represents a public health emergency impacting all sectors of society. Its occurrence is also unique because, although it has been rare in the past, it is considered inevitable. A pandemic outbreak occurs when a significant antigenic drift, or shift, occurs in a virus, resulting in a new, or “novel” strain spreading efficiently from person-to-person, to which the population has not been exposed and there is no underlying immunity. The severity of the outbreak event is generally variable and unpredictable.
The prevalence of a large number of infectious disease cases will increase the burden to hospitals and other healthcare infrastructure. Morbidity and mortality may disproportionately impact younger and healthier people (as was experienced with the influenza pandemic in 1918) or may impact older and medically-at-risk people (as it is occurring in the coronavirus outbreak currently underway in 2020). This may reduce the availability of workers due to worker illness, isolation/quarantine, or workers caring for family members who are ill. It may also restrict normal activities of the population and result in shortages or unavailability of commodities and service. Mitigation strategies, such as “stay-at-home” orders and closure of non-essential businesses, may decrease opportunities for disease transmission but will also likely create additional burdens on workforce productivity and the availability of essential goods and services.
Location and Extent
By its nature, a pandemic human infectious disease outbreak has the potential to affect the entire country, including the State of California. Communities within the City of Diamond Bar planning area would likely not be immune to the disease, and specific segments of the
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 188
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
80 population may be defined as a higher risk group than others. Given the degree to which business and social activities are integrated nationally and internationally, it is not reasonable to think any one location would be free from the threat of a pandemic. High population concentration areas, such as schools, retail locations, and special event venues are at the greatest risk of the pandemic hazard.
Based on the most recent COVID-19 outbreak data, residents of large metropolitan areas appear to be more susceptible to being infected than those in rural areas, likely due to closer interaction with other residents, or travelers from other locations. As the virus progresses, the trending pattern for the location of outbreaks may also change. However, in the age of air travel and worldwide shipping, it is becoming increasingly difficult to contain localized outbreaks as infected or exposed people travel for work and pleasure, thus potentially spreading the disease across the globe in a matter of hours.
The severity of a pandemic virus can be evaluated on two levels: individual who have been infected, and the infection rates in the overall population level, including the number of medical complications and expected deaths. Measuring severity from either perspective on a real time basis is a major challenge. The most common measure of severity is the casefatality rate (CFR) as depicted in Figure 19.
Figure 19: Case-Fatality Rate for Severity
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) The magnitude of a pandemic event is also evaluated from the population level in terms of warnings disseminated to those potentially affected. Figure 20 illustrates the various warning levels for pandemic. Dr. Margaret Chan, then Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), announced in June of 2009 that H1N1 had reached Phase 6, Pandemic.

Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, pandemics, although expected at some point in the future and planned for by many health, medical and emergency management professionals, were rare occurrences. Information from officials and scientists currently overseeing the COVID19 response is still does not make clear whether those who have had, and recovered from, confirmed cases of COVID-19 will be immune from future infections, or to what level the virus will spread throughout the world and individual communities in future months. Some scientists have indicated the possibility that the COVID-19 virus may become an everpresent condition, such as the influenza and colds, which can only be eradicated through an aggressive vaccination program. While several vaccines are currently on the market, it is too soon to ascertain their long-term effects and level of permanent immunity in those vaccinated.
Vulnerability and Impact:
People
There are many variables in Human Infectious Diseases that affect the vulnerability of the population. These include the type of virus, demographics of affected populations, environment (seasonality), individual medical conditions, and so forth. For the COVID-19

82 outbreak, initial CDC statistics7 indicated the effects of the virus ranged from very mild to severe throughout all population groups. On the other hand, elderly persons appear to be more susceptible to the most severe effects of the virus, including illness and death.
Morbidity has been found to be higher in elderly populations, with 80% of deaths among adults 65 years and older, and the highest percentage of severe outcomes occurring in people 85 years and older.
Human infectious disease/pandemic outbreaks are likely to have direct and indirect impacts on the economy when communities, states, and nations limit travel and public events; close non-essential businesses; and create a high demand for health and medical systems and resources. Small businesses in rural areas may be at the highest risk to suffer economic damage, if orders are established to close all non-essential businesses or reduce hours for essential businesses, including those providing grocery/food, gas, home improvement supplies; most health/medical offices; and banks/financial institutions. These measures will likely have direct impacts on the economy by reducing the availability of goods and services. Additional indirect economic losses may be incurred through reduction or loss of employee wages; limitation of access to health insurance and other employee benefits; and losses in financial markets and investments. Business closures that are initially temporary during the height of the pandemic may become permanent if containment measures are implemented for an extended period.
Human infectious disease/pandemic outbreaks are unlikely to have a negative impact on the natural environment.

Impacts of Climate Change
The most recently available information from the WHO suggests that climate change will not affect the emergence or transmission of COVID-10 because the disease is well established in the human population. However, the agency recommends that mitigation efforts enacted may reduce transmission and allow the medical profession to focus on treating patient currently affected by the disease. WHO further states that {…] climate change may indirectly affect the COVID-19 response, as it undermines environmental determinants of health, and places additional stress on health systems. More generally, most emerging infectious

83 diseases, and almost all recent pandemics, originate in wildlife, and there is evidence that increasing human pressure on the natural environment may drive disease emergence.
Strengthening health systems, improved surveillance of infectious disease in wildlife, livestock and humans, and greater protection of biodiversity and the natural environment, should reduce the risks of future outbreaks of other new diseases.8 Estimating Potential Losses in Designated
Hazard Areas
Overview
The HMC further revised the list of critical facilities into several categories of facilities of critical concern. Table 34 shows these facilities and the total estimated value of the facilities in each category.
The potential loss value is the total insured value of the critical facilities of concern. It is intended to provide the ballpark estimate of the cost of replacement if the property is severely or completely damaged. The data was provided by the City’s Risk Management Office and therefore, information for facilities not owned by the City are not shown. The total assessed value of property located in the city is used to provide estimated value of structures in City. In some instances, replacement cost information was not made available.
Where this occurs “N/A” has been used within the table. The actual costs of repair could be smaller or larger than the provided estimate.

The next category with the greatest potential for loss is the City Vital Operations category, which includes City Hall, Library, Police Station, Community Center. To better understand the magnitude of impacts, this plan identifies representative percentages of potential impact based on the total valuation of City assets. For planning purposes, we identified different tiers of impact that could happen. It is reasonable to assume that impacts would not exceed 50% of the total asset value citywide.
1% Impact – $262,628,931.65
5% Impact – $1,313,144,658.25
10% Impact – $2,626,289,316.50
20% Impact - $5,252,578,633
50% Impact - $13,131,446,582.50
The likelihood that all facilities are completely damaged at the same time is extremely remote. Most impacts are anticipated to be isolated to certain locations based on the hazard.
This estimate does not include the value of underground infrastructure and surface drainage facilities owned and operated by Los Angeles County, Edison Electric and Southern California Gas.
Assessing Drought
The risk assessment methodologies used for this plan focus on damage to structures.
Because drought does not impact structures to the same degree as other hazards, the risk assessment for drought was not preformed.
Assessing Earthquake
The entire city is vulnerable to Earthquakes. All physical assets located within the city can be affected by an earthquake event. However, it is inconceivable that an earthquake will damage 100 percent of all community assets at the same time. For earthquake assessment the Hazus-MH was used to estimate potential losses. Hazus-MH is a GIS-based software program used to support risk assessments, mitigation planning, and emergency planning and response. The program maps and displays hazard data and the results of damage and economic loss estimates for buildings and infrastructure. A Level 2 analysis was performed to assess earthquake risk and exposure. Earthquake shake maps and probabilistic data prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) were used for the analysis of this hazard.

85 and landslide susceptibility data were also integrated into the Hazus-MH model. Two scenario events and two probabilistic events were modeled:
The standard Hazus analysis was run for the 100-and 500-year probabilistic events. Data research and scenario development determined that the costliest type of hazard event in terms of dollar losses would result from a Magnitude-6.5 Earthquake Scenario, which could result in estimated damages of $24 billion.
Assessing Flood
For flood historical data was not adequate to model future losses. Portions of the City are located within the 100-year flood zone (1.0% Annual Chance of Flooding) and the 500-year flood zone (0.2% Annual Chance of Flooding). Any physical asset located within these mapped boundaries can expect to be inundated if there is enough falling precipitation that exceeds the design capacity of storm drain infrastructure. Table 35 identifies the physical assets in Diamond Bar located within the 100-year and 500-year flood zones. Additionally, given the limited data on number of structures located in Special Flood Hazards Areas, the total dollar value of past flood claims is used to estimate future potential losses.

87 Section 5: Capabilities Assessment
Element C. Mitigation Strategy
C1. Does the plan document each jurisdiction’s existing authorities, policies, programs and resources, and its ability to expand on and improve these existing policies and programs? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3))
C2. Does the Plan address each jurisdiction’s participation in the NFIP and continued compliance with NFIP requirements, as appropriate? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(ii)) Capabilities Assessment Overview
Performing a Capabilities Assessment is a major step in developing a FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan update. Such an Assessment includes taking an in-depth look at community mechanisms (such as plans, codes, ordinances, staffing, etc.) in place to support proposed mitigation activities. Performing the Capability Assessment helps communities identify its regulatory, administrative, technical, and fiscal capacities and capabilities, and to consider ways that these tools can be used to further hazard mitigation and disaster resiliency goals.
As part of the 2022 HMP update process, the HMC performed an inventory and analysis of existing authorities and capabilities. Each of these capabilities represents an ongoing program that supports the City’s commitment to developing resilience communities. Any gap in identified in capabilities should be addressed by developing a mitigation initiative in the Mitigation Action Plan component of 2022 update.
Planning and Regulatory Capabilities
Several existing City of Diamond Bar policies, programs, and capabilities may be used to prevent and minimize future hazard-related damages. These tools are valuable instruments to use in pre- and post-disaster mitigation planning because they facilitate the implementation of mitigation activities through the current legal and regulatory framework. As part of the process of updating the hazard mitigation plan, the HMC reviewed and updated any planning and regulatory capabilities changes that have been made since the City’s 2004 HMP was developed. Planning and regulatory capabilities available to sustain efforts to implement hazard mitigation actions are listed in Table 38: Planning and Regulatory Technical Capabilities.

88 Table 38: Planning and Regulatory Technical Capabilities Staff/Personnel
Resources
Available Department/Agency/Position
Comprehensive Plan/General Plan
Yes A Comprehensive Plan (also known as the General Plan) establishes the overall vision for a community and helps to guide municipal decision-making. The General Plan is the long-term, comprehensive blueprint for development and changes in the community. The policies in the General Plan address land use, public safety, environmental protection, and transportation, and others. The General Plan serves as a framework for establishing the overarching policies for mitigation activities. Mitigation actions may be directly incorporated into the General Plan as policies and/or implementation actions to provide a stronger enforcement mechanism.
Capital Improvement Plan
Yes A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is long-range fiscal forecast that identifies major public improvements planned for City infrastructure over the next 5 years. The CIP is a valuable tool for planning and managing the City’s growth and development, and for maintaining existing infrastructure. During plan development, capital projects affecting public health and safety, and/or legal mandates receive the highest priority; emphasis is also placed on projects maintaining service levels or preventing deterioration of facilities. Integration of the updated LHMP into the CIP may support mitigation efforts by identifying new funding sources for future improvements. As new grant opportunities become available, the CIP may already have identified projects consistent with the LHMP that can easily be used to secure grant funding requests. The collective leveraging these two plans (CIP and LHMP) may help secure needed funds to reduce vulnerabilities throughout the City.
Economic Development Plan
Yes An economic development plan serves as a road map for economic development decision making based on the collection of statistical data, historical perspective, and human potential.
Stormwater Management Plan
Yes A Stormwater Management addresses flooding associated with stormwater runoff. The Stormwater Management Plan is typically focused on design and construction measures intended to reduce the impact of more frequently occurring minor urban flooding events.
Building Code Yes Community Development-Building codes and associated standards (Residential Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, etc.) govern how new buildings are constructed. They are published by the state and adopted by local jurisdictions, sometimes with amendments to make the codes more locally applicable. Mitigation actions including buildings be constructed to a higher standard that they may better withstand damage during a hazard event. Such actions may be incorporated into future Building Code updates.

90 Administrative and Technical Capability
The ability of a local government to develop and implement mitigation projects, policies, and programs is contingent upon its level of staffing and other available resources.
Administrative capability is determined by evaluating whether there are an adequate number of personnel to complete mitigation activities. Similarly, technical capability can be evaluated by assessing the level of knowledge and technical expertise of local government employees, such as personnel skilled in planning, engineering and building codes. As part of the plan update process, the HMC reviewed and updated any changes that have occurred in the City’s level of administrative and technical capabilities since the last plan update. As applicable, these changes were reviewed by the HMC during the LHMP update process.
Administrative and technical resources available to the city to support the implementation of hazard mitigation management actions are listed in Table 39: Administrative and Technical Capabilities.

93 Fiscal Capability
The ability of a local government to implement mitigation activities is often tied to funding available to establish policies and implement projects. Such funding generally comes from local revenue and financing and from outside grants. Costs associated with mitigation activities range from staffing and administrative costs to those required for project implementation. As part of the plan update process, the HMC reviewed and updated changes that have occurred in the City’s fiscal capabilities since the last plan update.
Financial resources (other than grants) available to the City to support the implementation of hazard mitigation management actions are outlined in Table 40: Fiscal Capabilities.

National Flood Insurance Program Continued Compliance
Diamond Bar participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which was created by Congress in 1968 to provide flood insurance at subsidized rates to homeowners who live in flood-prone areas. Community NFIP participation is optional, although property owners who live in nonparticipating communities that have FEMA mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas (flood-prone areas) will not be able to buy flood insurance through the program. Additionally, nonparticipating communities with mapped floodplains cannot receive federal grants or loans for development activities in flood-prone areas, and they are ineligible to receive federal disaster assistance to repair flood-damaged buildings located in mapped floodplains. Diamond Bar has participated in NFIP since 1980.
Although program participation is not a hazard mitigation action to be included in the mitigation strategy per se, the City will continue to participate in NFIP and continue
6.1.b

94 enforcement of the City’s Floodplain Management regulations (Municipal Code Section
18.108.110-210). This includes:
Identifying the purpose of the floodplain regulation(s), as well as current and proposed ways to reduce flood losses.
Serving as a mechanism for identifying flood hazard areas and related flood mapping issues.
Oversees permit requirements for current and projected development projects. Inspect all development for continued compliance with city code. Applies development standards for flood-prone areas that minimize personal injury and property damage; and maintains documentation and risk analyses required for projects developed in these areas.
Assist residents in obtaining information on flood hazards, flood maps, flood insurance and proper mitigation measures.
In an effort to meet NFIP requirements, Diamond Bar will make updates and revisions to Floodplain Management regulations as it deems necessary. These updates and revisions may be prompted by changes in local demographics; shifts in land use; trends such as the frequency and intensity of flood events; and other factors that may warrant municipal action.
The city will also continue to incorporate into future planning documents, including HMP updates, changes to the locations and designations of mapped floodplains.
The City of Diamond Bar contains Special Flood Hazard Areas where 10 NFIP policies are in force. Total insurance coverage for these policies amounts to $2,910,000; however, no repetitive loss properties were identified by the City’s Floodplain Administrator. The city does not participate in the voluntary Community Rating System (CRS).

C. Mitigation Strategy
C1. Does the plan document each jurisdiction’s existing authorities, policies, programs and resources and its ability to expand on and improve these existing policies and programs? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3))
C2. Does the Plan address each jurisdiction’s participation in the NFIP and continued compliance with NFIP requirements, as appropriate? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(ii)) C3. Does the Plan include goals to reduce/avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(i))
C4. Does the Plan identify and analyze a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions and projects for each jurisdiction being considered to reduce the effects of hazards, with emphasis on new and existing buildings and infrastructure? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(ii))
C5. Does the Plan contain an action plan that describes how the actions identified will be prioritized (including cost benefit review), implemented, and administered by each jurisdiction? (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(iv)); (Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(iii)) C6. Does the Plan describe a process by which local governments will integrate the requirements of the mitigation plan into other planning mechanisms, such as comprehensive or capital improvement plans, when appropriate? (Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(ii))
The Mitigation Strategy
The Mitigation Strategy provides the blueprint for the participating jurisdictions to use in its goal of improving disaster resiliency by lessening vulnerability to identified hazards of concern. Identified Mitigation Goals and Objectives inform the development of appropriate mitigation strategies, or actions and initiatives, designed to avoid, minimize, and mitigate the impacts of natural and manmade disasters on the local population and property located in the planning area. Communities strengthen their resiliency by issuing building codes, zoning ordinances, and other regulatory activities. When communities review or update these planning mechanisms, the opportunity exists to identify whether mitigation strategies can be incorporated into policy changes. Such efforts go a long way to ensuring that the City will remain resilient when affected by known hazards.
HMC members participated in a virtual meeting on May 22, 2021, to start the mitigation strategy review. Topics covered include:
A review and update of the Goals and Objectives from the 2004 LHMP. Discussion of strategies included in the 2004 plan and the status of each mitigation action.
Input about whether each 2004 action should be carried forward and included in the 2022 LHMP if not, the reason why.
New mitigation strategies to be included in the updated plan. Developing a minimum of two mitigation actions - each outlined in a mitigation action worksheet to fully describe a current or proposed mitigation strategy, including how the community benefits from each action implemented.
6.1.b

2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
97 The City completed a two-part process to update the Mitigation Action Plan strategy for the 2022 plan update:
The HMC considered the findings of the risk and capabilities assessments to consider new mitigation actions/measures.
The group reviewed and provide updates on the status and relevance of each action provided in the previous plan to determine which measures have been completed; would be carried forward to the 2022 Plan; or deleted. This also included a discussion of changes in local priorities since the last plan update. Documentation of this process is provided as Worksheet 4 in Appendix D.
Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms
The primary mechanism for incorporation of the mitigation plan requirements is through the City’s General Plan. Other key plans for incorporation includes, but are not limited to:
Diamond Bar Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), which focuses on the effective preparedness and response to hazard events that occur within the city.
Incorporation of relevant content from this plan into the EOP ensures consistency regarding the hazards addressed in both plans.
Diamond Bar Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies key infrastructure investments throughout the city that may include hazard mitigation elements.
Incorporation of mitigation planning elements into the CIP may assist with enhancing infrastructure investment through additional funding and/or modification of improvements to include hazard mitigation elements.
Review and Evaluation of a Range of Mitigation Actions
The process of selecting and prioritizing mitigation actions began with each member of the HMC developing a “wish list” that considered community survey responses and stakeholder input. Individual “wish lists” were consolidated into a single list of mitigation actions/projects.
To narrow down the list to measures/actions for inclusion in the 2022 LHMP update, the HMC initially considered three criteria:
What actions had the most serious consequences if not implemented? What actions could be implemented by existing staff with funding resources available internally (or externally)?
What actions responded to the primary concerns of the community? Mitigation actions are specific projects, activities, and processes taken to reduce long-term risk and lessen impacts to people and property from identified hazards. Implementing mitigation actions helps the community achieve the plan’s primary goal of fostering risk reduction. The primary types of mitigation actions that were considered include:
Local plans and regulations
Structure and infrastructure projects
Natural system protection and education
Community awareness programs
Building on the mitigation actions identified in the City’s General plan and the previous LHMP, the HMC reviewed and analyzed a comprehensive range of mitigation actions and

98 projects. This HMC consulted the FEMA resource Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for Reducing Risk for Natural Hazards (January 2013) to expand the scope of activities for consideration.
The comprehensive range of potential activities included in Mitigation Ideas enabled the HMC to analyze and evaluate different mitigation measures, including a mixture of structural and non-structural activities. In general, all activities considered may be classified under one of the following six (6) broad categories of mitigation techniques provided in Table 43:
Mitigation Actions/Techniques.
Table 43: Mitigation Actions/Techniques
Mitigation
Actions
Techniques
Description
Prevention Preventative activities are intended to keep hazard impacts from worsening and are typically administered through government programs or regulatory actions that influence the way land is developed and buildings are built. They are particularly effective in reducing a community’s future vulnerability, especially in areas where development has not occurred, or capital improvements have not been substantial.
Examples includes planning and zoning, building codes, open space preservation, floodplain regulations, stormwater management regulations, drainage system maintenance, capital improvement programs, and riverine/fault zone setbacks.
Property
Protection
Property protection measures involve the modification of existing buildings and structures to help them better withstand the forces of a hazard, or removal of the structures from hazardous locations.
Examples include property acquisition and demolition; structure relocation; building elevation; critical facilities protection; retrofitting (e.g., wind proofing, floodproofing, seismic design techniques, etc.); the addition safe rooms, shutters, and shatter- resistant glass; and purchasing property insurance.
Natural
Resource
Protection
Natural resource protection activities reduce the impact of natural hazards by preserving or restoring natural areas and their protective functions. Such areas include floodplains, wetlands, steep slopes, and sand dunes. Parks, recreation, or conservation agencies and organizations often implement such protective measures. Examples include floodplain protection; watershed management; riparian buffers; forest and vegetation management (e.g., fire resistant landscaping, fuel breaks, etc.); erosion and sediment control; wetland preservation and restoration; habitat preservation; and slope stabilization.
Structural
Projects
Structural mitigation projects are intended to lessen the impact of a hazard through construction projects. They are usually designed by engineers and managed or maintained by public works staff. Examples include reservoirs; dams/levees/dikes/floodwalls;
diversions/detention/retention; channel modification; and building and maintaining storm sewers systems.
Emergency
Services
Although not typically considered a “mitigation” technique, emergency service measures minimize the impact of a hazard event on people and property. These commonly are actions taken immediately prior to, during, or in response to a hazard event. Examples include warning systems; evacuation planning and management; emergency response training and exercises; sandbagging (flood protection; and installing temporary shutters to provide wind protection.

Education and
Awareness
Public education and awareness activities are used to advise residents, elected officials, business owners, potential property buyers, and visitors about hazards, hazardous areas, and mitigation techniques they can use to protect themselves and their property. Examples of measures to educate and inform the public include outreach projects; a speaker series or demonstration events; information about hazard mapping; real estate disclosures; resources made available in the public library; educational programs for children; and hazard expositions.
Mitigation Approach
In developing and ranking the 2022 mitigation actions, the City elected to use the FEMA recommended STAPLEE evaluation criteria tool as outlined in the FEMA Local Mitigation Planning Handbook (March 2013). Each criterion is shown below.
Table 44: STAPLEE Mitigation Ranking Criteria
STAPLEE Mitigation Action Ranking Criteria
Used in the 2022 City of Diamond Bar Hazard Mitigation Planning Process Criteria Description
S Social Consider public acceptance and support of the mitigation measure T Technical Evaluate whether the proposed action is technically feasible A Administrative Evaluate the anticipated staffing, funding, and maintenance requirements of the mitigation measure
P Political Determine the local political leadership’s support of the mitigation measure
L Legal Evaluate the community’s legal authority to implement a mitigation measure
E Economic Consider the cost-effectiveness of the action, potential funding sources, and the potential impact on local economic conditions E Environmental Evaluate how the action affects local environmental concerns Source: FEMA Local Hazard Mitigation Planning Guide
As part of the economic evaluation of mitigation action, participants analyzed actions in terms of the overall costs, measuring whether the potential benefit to be gained from the action outweighed all costs associated with it. As a result of this exercise, priority was assigned to each mitigation action by marking them as High (H), Moderate (M), or Low (L). An action that is ranked as “High” indicates that the action will be implemented as soon as funding is received. A “Moderate” action may not be implemented right away depending on the cost and number of citizens served by the action. Actions ranked as “Low” indicate that they will not be implemented until “High” and “Moderate” actions have been considered for funding, or, a future disaster occurs that moves the ranking of the action to a higher priority.

Maintain the system of the Emergency Operations Center (City Hall) with alternative back-up facilities (Diamond Bar Center, Heritage Park Community Center) to be activated in the event the central facility is impaired. Because City government operations may be affected if back-up locations must be activated, develop the portable EOC-in-a-box Program and train staff in its use.
C
Mitigation Action 3.1 Communication/ Early
Warning Systems and Local Consideration
Review the disaster preparation, response, and early warning programs of neighboring jurisdictions, agencies and utilities servicing the community. Also contact private companies (including railroads) to ensure that the needs of Diamond Bar are addressed in planning and infrastructure improvement initiatives. Advocate making the City a primary recipient of early hazard warning support and renew or establish communication protocols.

Mitigation Action 4.1 Develop Geographic
Information System (GIS) Program Capability for Improved Mapping and Planning To aid with Disaster planning and preparation, the City needs to consider securing a Geographic Information System (GIS). A GIS program would both benefit Emergency Services and Disaster preparation and serve as a resource for all City departments. GIS is a method to visualize, manipulate, analyze, and display spatial data. It can be utilized to develop "Smart Maps,” predict future trends, and monitor environmental concerns. GIS would greatly improve Diamond Bar's capability to mitigate natural hazards and plan for reducing vulnerabilities.

Section 7: Plan Maintenance
The formal plan maintenance process that will ensure the City of Diamond Bar 2022 Hazard Mitigation Plan is implemented, monitored, evaluated, and updated so the plan remains a dynamic relevant document. The plan maintenance process includes a schedule for monitoring and evaluating the Plan annually and producing a plan revision every five years. This section describes how the City will integrate public participation throughout the plan maintenance process. It consists of the following subsections
1. Overview.
2. Monitoring, Evaluating and Updating.
3. Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanism.
4. Method for Continued Participation.
Plan Maintenance Overview
The City Manager’s Office will serve as the lead agency responsible for implementing the plan maintenance process. The City’s HMC will be responsible for implementing the strategies outlined in this Plan, and for updating and maintaining the Plan according to the guidelines set forth below. The city will use the Plan’s goals, as well as continued analysis of hazard risks and capabilities, to weigh the availability of community resources against the cost and benefit for each mitigation action. That is to say, the action will be reviewed against the staff time and financial resources needed to implement it. The city understands the value of this Plan and the extent to which plan elements lend themselves to mitigating hazards of concern. The City intends to maintain, update, and implement the 2022 HMP using the following method and schedule.
Monitoring, Evaluating and Updating the Plan
The City of Diamond Bar HMC will keep the Plan current by monitoring, evaluating, and updating the Plan. FEMA defines these efforts as follows:
1. Monitoring: Tracking the implementation of the plan over time.
2. Evaluating: Assessing the effectiveness of the plan at achieving its stated purpose and goals.
3. Updating: Reviewing and revising the plan at least once every five years.
The City Manager’s Office is the oversight entity charged with ensuring that the Plan maintenance process is carried out. The City’s HMC is the planning group responsible for promoting ongoing coordination and community participation in the Plan maintenance process.
Monitoring the Plan
As directed by the City Manager or his/her designee, the City’s HMC representatives will collect information needed to monitor the Plan and revise it as needed.
Each mitigation action in this Plan is prioritized and assigned to a specific department, agency, or position, who will carry out the action when staff time and funding are available to support the action. Timelines are given for each mitigation action, where appropriate, and potential funding sources are identified. Additionally, each
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 220
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
112
mitigation action is prioritized based on a common set of criteria, which enables jurisdictions to move specific actions forward as funding opportunities arise. Annual plan monitoring will help track progress on each proposed mitigation action.
The role of City Manager or his/her designee includes the following tasks:
Schedule an annual meeting of the HMC.
Develop meeting agendas.
Schedule post-disaster event meetings with the HMC for Federally- and/or State declared disasters that result in significant damage sustained, or if the event revealed planning area vulnerabilities that need to be addressed.
Provide information about recent hazard impacts and the current status of mitigation actions. Invite other agencies/departments/stakeholders and the public to participate in meetings. Coordinate with the HMC to communicate plan updates to the public when applicable. This may include activities such as, but not limited to, developing Plan amendments; completing mitigation actions; notifying the public of available mitigation program; and related efforts.
During annual meetings, the City’s HMC will address hazard-related concerns that may have arisen since the most recent Plan update; assess events affecting the city to determine if changes in the plan are required; and complete the monitoring and evaluation worksheets developed for the purpose of documenting the monitoring process.
If significant changes, updates, or amendments to the Plan are suggested by the City’s HMC, they will be documented and included as part of the Plan’s annual update.
Evaluating the Plan
The City Manager or his/her designee and the members of the City’s HMC will use the Plan Evaluation Checklist, (which is included in Attachment G), to evaluate the Plan and make recommendations for future Plan updates and enhancements. The Checklist will be completed annually.
The Plan Evaluation Checklist includes the following components:
Evaluate the goals and objectives to ensure they address current and expected conditions. Determine any changes in the nature or magnitude of risks identified in the Plan. Evaluate current resources for adequacy in implementing the Plan. Document implementation problems experienced by other agencies, including technical, political, legal or coordination issues.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the HMC.
Three additional worksheets were developed and are included as attachments to this section. Attachment B: Planning Considerations Worksheet.
Attachment C: Mitigation Action Implementation Worksheet (listing status of mitigation actions identified by each jurisdiction).
Attachment D: City of Diamond Bar HMC Meetings and Public Involvement Activities Log.
The Plan Evaluation Checklist, Planning Considerations Worksheet, and Mitigation Action Implementation Worksheet will be completed annually (at a minimum) and stored in Appendix G.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 221
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
113
Updating the Plan
In accordance with federal regulations, the city’s LHMP is to be updated every five years. The City Manager or his/her designee will complete an annual progress report, as described in the Evaluation Section above, to improve the documentation of the progress made by the City on the strategies defined in this Plan. In doing so, the Plan will become more of a “living document” that is proactive and integrates with the planning area’s future initiatives.
Plan reviews will provide the city with an opportunity to evaluate those actions that have been successful, and to document potential losses avoided due to the implementation of specific mitigation measures. The plan review also provides the opportunity to address mitigation actions that may not have been successfully implemented as assigned and determine how they could be more feasibly implemented.
If a significant hazard event occurs, or if changes in regulations warrant an update of the Plan, the City Manager or his/her designee will meet with the HMC to determine the course of action to be used to update the Plan. If a Plan update is approved, the same procedures used in developing the original plan will be followed and will incorporate opportunities for the pubic to have input and provide comments.

Method for Continued Public Participation
Diamond Bar is dedicated to involving the public directly in the continual review and updates of the LHMP. Copies of the Plan will be catalogued and made available at City Hall and Los Angeles County Diamond Bar Public Library. The existence and location of these copies will be publicized in the Diamond Bar City News newsletter.
Public comments related to the Plan will be retained in the City Manager’s Office. In addition, copies of the Plan and any proposed changes will be posted on the city website. This site will also contain an email address and phone number to which people can direct their comments, recommendations, and concerns.
Additionally, if significant changes are required of the plan by CalOES/FEMA, the City HMC will notify the public and encourage their participation in meetings to provide input and review any changes. The City HMC may also send notifications to the public on plan amendments, completion of mitigation actions, and notification of programs available for mitigation. To this end, the public will remain involved in the implementation of this plan.
Public involvement during the plan’s monitoring and evaluation process will be fostered through the strategies listed below:
City’s website and/or social media outlets.
Public meetings advertised in local newspapers and local websites. Copies of this plan will be available for public view in City Hall as deemed appropriate by City staff.
During the five-year planning cycle, City HMC will meet with various agencies, organizations, and stakeholders to strengthen relationships; identify partnering opportunities to address identified mitigation actions; and increase awareness of the capabilities these groups can provide. The HMC will also use conferences local and regional workshops, and seminars regarding emergency preparedness, response and recovery operations as another opportunity to meet with local agencies, surrounding communities and state agencies to discuss mitigation strategies/actions identified in the Plan.

Introduction:
Mr. Thompson introduced himself and asked to do a roll call for the beginning of the meeting. He discussed the agenda and what will be covered in the presentation continues and when we get to the end of the agenda, we will cover what additional hazards should be included in the updated plan.
Mr. Santos and Mr. Thompson will be working hand in hand through this process and the participants are encouraged to reach out to either as needed with questions or concerns and provide feedback.
Question- asked to have the presentation emailed to them at the end of the presentation Answer- Yes, we will email them after the meeting
Hazard Overview
Mr. Thompson proceeded to provide the FEMA definition and overview of hazard mitigation, mitigation planning and the mitigation related grants. Mr. Thompson stated that we will discuss several of the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants to include BRIC and other assistance grants in later slides. He also discusses the Great Floods or Noah and the Arch. In this example he discussed how Noah followed a planning process similar to the one we will use to update the City’s plan.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 227
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
119
Noah assessed the hazard-flooding, reviewed a comprehensive list of actions, selected best action and hazard was avoided.
Project Background/Objectives
Mr. Thompson continued and discussed the project background as well as the project objectives. These discussions included why the city needs to update its current 2004 hazard mitigation plan (HMP) to a new 2021 hazard mitigation plan. He also discussed the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K) as being the primary reason to be moving forward in updating this plan, and the benefits of having an up-to-date plan. In order to be eligible for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funds a community must have a FEMA approved hazard mitigation plan. A current FEMA approved HMP will allow the City to be eligible for grants/funding to address some of the mitigation actions/projects that will result from our planning process.
This was followed with a discussion of the project objectives which included assuring that at the end of the planning process the City will have a FEMA approvable plan. This includes identifying hazards of concerns, greatest opportunities to reduce risk and fulfill public input requirements.
Mr. Thompson also stressed that it is the city’s plan, IEM staff is working on and making sure it is your plan not IEM plan when it’s completed. Mr. Thompson also stated we want to make sure the planning requirements are met and will be beneficial to the City moving forward.
Plan Section
Mr. Thompson proceeded and open a discussion on the planning process to include 5 planning phases/tasks.
These phases/tasks include planning process, hazard identification and risk assessment, mitigation strategy, plan maintenance, final draft plan.
He continued to review the steps and related activities that will be completed under each of the identified plan phases/tasks.
Phase 1-Planning Process
Mr. Thompson discussed activities that will addressed under this phase to include building the team, document how the plan is being updated, determine an outreach strategy, identify the capabilities assessment to include plans, programs policies regulations that can impact city’s ability to implement hazard mitigation program (what already exists). He also highlighted this part of the process will be data intensive and cross over the entire planning cycle.
Establish a formal planning process
Build the Team-Participation from a broad range of stakeholders Documentation of planning activities
Meetings (group, virtual, one-to-one)
Input from Planning Committee and Stakeholders
Integration with other state planning efforts
Create an Outreach Strategy
Capabilities Assessment - Existing policies, studies, plans, programs, etc.) Data Reviews and Collection
Statement and Question: Robert Cruz- mentioned community input and asked will it be in person meetings, and once finalized is the outcome going to be on the city website.
Answer: Mr. Thompson- initially we proposed a survey to the public about the plan and their feedback on what should be covered in it and posting the activities on the city website.
Second Answer: Mr. Santos- intent to post where we are going with the grant and progress on the website, and want to make sure that once approved it goes on to the website and maintenance as well after 5 years Phase 2- Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment
Phases/Tasks 2- Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment- Mr. Thompson provided that the activities include a discussion on identifying and profiling hazards and the completion of a detail risk assessment.
Hazards Identification: Mr. Thompson discussed the need to identify and profile each hazard that can impact the city. He also reviewed the hazards identified in previous 2004 plan and stated that we will further discuss hazards later in the presentation.
Risk Assessment: Mr. Thompson discussed the elements to be included in the risk assessment to include critical facilities and updating capabilities assessment, impacts of changes in development, impacts of climate change and estimated losses.
6.1.b
Packet Pg. 228
2022 City of Diamond Bar Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
120
Critical facilities-lifelines includes a review and assessment of the City’s critical facilities and infrastructures and their vulnerable to identified hazards as well as vulnerable populations. This will also include a discussion of NFIP repetitive loss properties.
Capabilities assessment will include a review of current regulations, that will support or hinder mitigation actions; Administration or government support; Education and outreach- is there a process to educate them or a way to disseminate information to them. NFIP- make sure it is addressed to meet FEMA requirements, participation, continued participation, and repetitive loss structures. The outcome is to assess the City’s ability to implement long term mitigation action plans, look at what is in place and if there is a conflict, and administrative capabilities to do them.
The final section of the risk assessment will include a summary of potential losses.
Phases/Tasks 3- Mitigation strategy- Mr. Thompson provided that the risk assessment forms the foundation to this task. He reviewed the various steps involved in developing mitigation strategy and the mitigation action plan.
The Mitigation Strategy will include:
o Goals and objectives- see if the old goals and objectives are still relevant or what needs to be removed or added
o Review a comprehensive range of mitigation actions, from prevention, to protection, mitigation actions, etc.
o How to mitigate the hazards and repetitive loss structures, o Development of the mitigation action plan, what are we vulnerable to, what are the risks, prioritizing the projects, who is responsible, time frame for completion of those projects, o Work with them on the top 2 actions to give them an idea of how this works and needs to be completed.
Mr. Thompson also discussed the need to develop a strategy to address repetitive loss properties stating that FEMA is concern when it comes to flooding
He discussed the mitigation action plan to include all of the actions or projects that are considered important to the community and put them in a prioritized order to include time frame for completion, who is responsible for action and funding source.
There was also a discussion of Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funding sources from FEMA o PA-406-mitigation provides post-disaster funds that can be used to make additional improvements/upgrades to damage public structures where applicable and can provide mitigation actions that might not have been covered before.
o 404-Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) provides post-disaster to complete mitigation related actions/projects.
o Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) provides pre-disaster funding to address retrofitting to flood-prone structures and infrastructure. These funds are provided on annually. o Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM)/ Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) provides funding for mitigation related projects with an added focus on infrastructure projects.
Question: (Chat question) Robert Cruz- any assistance programs for earthquakes? Answer: Leroy- Yes there is funding for those.
Phases/Tasks 4- Plan Maintenance
Mr. Thompson discussed the plan maintenance process to include monitoring, evaluate and update the plan.
This section will include maintaining and updating the plan as well as tracking and reporting the status mitigation actions/projects.
Phases/Tasks 5- Draft Plan and Review Process
Mr. Thompson reviewed the process for developing the draft plan, approval by the planning committee (city of diamond bar) and then to the State OES and then to FEMA. If comments come back, we will handle them and then send it back up to the state and then to FEMA and back again if is necessary. After final approval the community approves it then you get the final approved paperwork from FEMA The plan is not official until the city adopts the plan after FEMA approves it pending adoption.
What we want to do is finish a section and get that approved as we go along to quicken the process towards approval.

Roles and responsibilities
Mr. Thompson informed the participates that the Planning Coordination Team will include the City’s Point of Contact Anthony Santos or Dannette Allen, and IEM’s Point of Contact Leroy Thompson and Sheila Hascall being the second point of contact for IEM.
The Planning Team will include all individuals who participates in the planning process. The Team will additional subject matter experts, stakeholders, specialists as well as the public. o The plan should reflect the community and its needs.
o Comments from neighboring community comments so that we have it all covered o We will review the State HMP and the LA County HMP to make sure the City’s plan is consistent with statewide mitigation programs.
Timeline/Schedule
Mr. Thompson reviewed the project timeline and potential meeting schedule noting that they are tentative and can change. We also discussed the ability to add additional persons to the Planning Team if necessary.
Mr. Santos discuss conducting a potential work session/meeting with the City Council to make them aware of where we are in the process. He is not sure of the format of such meeting but will get back with the Team later. o Can add personnel if you think of others who want to participate, o Anthony- council planning workshop
o Update the council that they are working in the plan and that they are aware of where we are in the process, can be a study session if needed to discuss things more detailed, Review of Potential Hazards
Mr. Thompson asked the Team if additional hazards should be added to the plan. Mr. Santos stated that we can consider other human caused hazards to include COVID-19 and Hazardous Materials. Mr. Thompson asked about any type of hurricane force winds and Mr. Santos stated that they experience Sana Ana winds and had wildfires in 2020.
Next Steps
Mr. Thompson stated that we will attempt to reuse as much data as possible from the 2004 plan and see what is still current and what needs to be updated. Additionally, he provided a series of one-on-one discussions with different agencies and team members to assist in our data collect efforts. One of the first documents that we will be sending out is a survey of critical facilities that are in the 2004 plan and requesting assistance in updating information. We will work with the City to remove any sites from the list that do not report for various reasons.
Mr. Thompson provided an example of how we will move forward using flood hazard as an example. He stated we might have an individual meeting with Building and/or Public Works to discuss areas in community that flood on a routine base and are not included on the City’s FIRM.
Questions/Comments
Mr. Santos – thanks the attendees for participating in the meeting and reminded the group to ask questions nothing is unimportant
Mr. Thompson- we will be working with you to make sure all FEMA requirements are met and that it’s your plan not our plan
Thank you for participating

APPENDIX D: Public Engagement
Public Engagement
Under FEMA guidelines, local hazard mitigation planning processes should create opportunities for members of the public to be involved in plan development—at a minimum, during the initial drafting stage and during plan approval. The HMC developed a virtual engagement strategy to guide all public engagement activities.
However, due to issues with COVID‐19, in lieu of originally planned in‐person public meeting were not able to be conducted. However, the City posted an online community survey on its website soliciting public comments/input on the planning process. The survey was posted online at https://www.allcounted.com/s?did=cfl5vyu9y58d7&lang=en_US. The figure below shows how the City announced the survey on its web site. The Community Survey was posted on the web site for two reasons:
to inform the general public that the 2022 LHMP was being updated; and to invite the public to give input on hazards of concern and how they have been affected by recent disaster events. The results of the Community Survey have been incorporated into the respective sections of the plan.
City announced the survey on its web site.

It is imperative that the City of Diamond Bar stop suing it’s residents for failing to mitigate or repair hillsides and slopes. In most cases the mitigation and repair requirements are beyond the affordability of most home owners in the area. These homes were built and sold in the 60’s and 70’s and mother nature is taking her toll on the surrounding landscape, which is not within the home owners control. Financial assistance and grants need to be made available to ALL residents regardless of their income. Landslide repair can cost in excess of $100K.

APPENDIX E:
Hazard Scoring and Prioritization Methodology
HAZARD SCORING AND PRIORITIZATION
The HMC followed FEMA guidance for hazard mitigation plans and prioritized each of the 8 hazards. In the initial step, it assigned a score of 1 to 4 for each of the 10 hazards. The four criteria are provided in Table 10.
Table 10: Risk Character shows the Criterion Scoring used to assign a score for each criterion.
RISK CHARACTERISTIC (VULNERABILITY) SCORE

After calculating the total impact score for each hazard (sum of the location, maximum probable extent, and the secondary impact). FEMA guidance recommends multiplying the total impact score by the overall probability to determine the final score for each hazard. A final score between 0 and 12 is considered a
6.1.b

Based on the Total Risk Score, each hazard is determined to be of Low, Moderate, or High concern to the City of Diamond Bar.
Table 13: RISK LEVEL TOTAL RISK SCORE
Low 0‐15
A hazard with a LOW RISK rating is expected to have little to no impact upon the jurisdiction. The hazard poses minimal health and safety consequences to the state’s residents and is expected to cause little to no property damage. The occurrence of a hazard with a LOW RISK rating is rare; however, due to other factors such as geographic location it is still possible for such a hazard to occur and cause even significant damage based upon the magnitude of the event.
Moderate 16‐30
A hazard with a MODERATE RISK rating is expected to have a moderate impact upon the jurisdiction. The hazard poses minor health and safety consequences with minor injuries expected and few to no fatalities.
The hazard may cause some property to be damaged or destroyed. The occurrence of a hazard with a MODERATE RISK rating is likely at least once within the next 25 years.
High 31 or More
A hazard with a HIGH‐RISK rating is expected to have a significant impact upon the jurisdiction. The hazard poses high health and safety consequences with numerous injuries and fatalities possible. The hazard may cause even some property to be damaged or destroyed. A hazard with a HIGH‐RISK rating is expected to occur at least once within a 12‐month period but can occur multiple times within a year.

A CWPP must be collaboratively developed by local and
state government representatives, in consultation with
federal agencies and other interested parties.
Creation of a CWPP can specifically address a
community’s unique conditions, values, and priorities
related to wildfire risk reduction and resilience.
Communities with CWPPs in place are given priority for

Proposition 1E: Disaster
Preparedness and Flood
Prevention Bond Act of 2006
In addition to the general fund, bonds are an important source of state funding for flood hazard mitigation projects. Among the largest is the voter‐approved $4.09 billion Proposition 1E (the Disaster Preparedness and Flood Prevention Bond Act of 2006) to fund flood management projects, including repairs and improvements to levees, weirs, bypasses, and other flood control facilities throughout the state. Proposition 1E allocates $3 billion to repair and improve state‐federal facilities that are

part of the State Plan of Flood Control for the Central Valley and to reduce the risks of levee failure in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta.
Of these funds, a minimum of $1 billion will be allocated to high‐level flood protection for urban areas protected by state‐federal project levees, $300 million to design flood level protection for non‐urban areas protected by statefederal project levees, and a minimum of $500 million to reduce the risks of levee failure in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta.
Also allocated are $500 million for State Flood Control Subventions and $300 million in storm water Flood Management Grants. Annex Table 2.N summarizes the purpose of allocated Proposition 1E dollars and funding levels.
Annex
Proposition 1: The Water
Quality, Supply, and
Infrastructure Improvement Act
of 2014
In 2014, California voters approved the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 (Proposition 1) authorizes $7.545 billion in general obligation bonds to fund ecosystems and watershed protection and restoration, water supply infrastructure projects, including surface and groundwater storage, and drinking water protection. Table 2.O illustrates funding status of Proposition 1 programs.
Many of the projects funded through Prop 1 further implement the California Water Action Plan, which, outlines the
State’sroadmaptowardsustainablewater management since2014.
Thisfunding has gonetoprojectsforwatershed restoration throughout the State. Specific examples include the American River Headwaters Restoration Project ($1.8 million), Napa River Restoration Oakville to Oak Knoll Project ($800,000) and appropriations to regional water agencies and conservancies, such as the Department of Water Resources and the San Diego River Conservancy.

http://bondaccountability.resources.ca.gov/P1ProgramList.aspx Proposition 84 The voter‐approved $5.4 billion Proposition 84 (the Safe Water Quality, Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Act of 2006) will allocate about $1.2 billion in additional funding beyond Proposition 1E for flood control projects including the Delta Levee Program, State Flood Control Subventions Program, and floodplain evaluation and delineations (see Annex Table 2.P). Local agencies have already proposed mitigation and levee strengthening projects in the amount of $204 million related to funds from Propositions 1E and 84.
