Implementation Handbook
May 2024
City of Hesperia 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
D-2
What Is This Handbook?
The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for the City of Hesperia features an evaluation of the City's hazards as well as a variety of corresponding mitigation actions. These actions are intended to preserve public safety, maintain critical munici pal government operations and services when hazard events emerge, and empower community members to take on hazard mitigation at an individual level. This Implementation Handbook (Handbook) is intended for use by City staff and decision-makers after the LHMP is adopted. It will:
Give clear instructions following the adoption of the LHMP. Simplify future updates to the LHMP.
Assist the City in preparing grant funding applications related to hazard mitigation. Guide annual plan review actions.
How do I Use This Handbook?
This Handbook can help City staff and decision- makers in several different situations. If and when the events listed below occur, consult the respective sections of this Handbook for advice on how best to proceed:
A disaster proclamation has been issued by the Hesperia City Council A disaster proclamation has been issued by the State of California A disaster declaration has been signed by the Federal Government I want to apply for mitigation grant funding
Hesperia is undergoing its budgeting process
Hesperia is holding its annual meeting of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee Hesperia is updating the following policy and regulatory documents:
• The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
• The Safety Element of the General Plan
• The Housing Element of the General Plan
• The Zoning Code
Who Maintains This Handbook?
The Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) leader is responsible for maintaining this Handbook. At the time of writing, the current HMPC leader is Jacquelyn Castillo from the City Manager’s Office of Emergency Management. The HMPC may delegate this responsibility to someone else should they choose.
City of Hesperia 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
D-3
What to do when a disaster has been proclaimed or declared Disasters may be proclaimed or declared by the Hesperia City Council, the State of California, or the federal government. Responsibilities may differ depending on who proclaims or declares the disaster. If multiple organizations proclaim or declare a disaster, consult all applicable lists.
The Hesperia City Council
If the Hesperia City Council (or the Director of Emergency Services, if the City Council is not in session) proclaims a Local Emergency, take the following steps:
Update Attachment 1 with information about the disaster. Include information about cumulative damage, including any damage outside of Hesperia. Discuss opportunities for local assistance with the representatives from the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).
If the disaster damages local infrastructure or City-owned facilities, repair or rebuild the structure to be more resilient, following applicable hazard mitigation actions. A list of actions, organized by hazards, is included in Attachment 4. Chapter 6 of the Hesperia LHMP states that the City should consider updating the LHMP if a disaster causes a loss of life in the community, even if there is no state disaster proclamation or federal disaster declaration that includes part or all of the city. If there is a loss of life in Hesperia, consider updating the LHMP. Consult the section on updating the LHMP in this Handbook for details.
The State of California
If the State of California proclaims a disaster for Hesperia, or an area that includes part or all of Hesperia, take the following steps:
Update Attachment 1 with information about the disaster. Include information about cumulative damage, including any damage outside of Hesperia. Collaborate with representatives from Cal OES to assess the damage from the event. Discuss opportunities for local assistance with representatives from Cal OES. If the disaster damages local infrastructure or City-owned facilities, repair or rebuild the structure to be more resilient, following applicable hazard mitigation actions. A list of actions, organized by hazards, is included in Attachment 4. If the disaster may escalate into a federal disaster declaration, begin any necessary coordination with representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Chapter 6 of the Hesperia LHMP states that the City should consider updating the LHMP if a disaster leads to a state disaster proclamation or federal disaster declaration that includes part or all of Hesperia, even if there is no loss of life. Consider updating the LHMP. Consult the section on updating the LHMP in this Handbook for details.
City of Hesperia 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
D-4
The Federal Government
If the federal government declares a disaster for Hesperia, or any area that includes part or all of Hesperia, take the following steps:
Update Attachment 1 with information about the disaster. Include information about cumulative damage, including any damage outside of Hesperia. Collaborate with Cal OES and FEMA representatives to assess the damage. Determine if Hesperia will be eligible for public assistance funds related to the federal disaster declaration. These funds can be used to reimburse the City for response and recovery activities. If the City is eligible, work with FEMA and Cal OES representatives to enact the necessary requirements and receive funding. If the disaster damages local infrastructure or City-owned facilities, repair or rebuild the structure to be more resilient, following applicable hazard mitigation actions. A list of actions, organized by hazards, is included in Attachment 4. The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) is a FEMA program that helps fund hazard mitigation activities after a disaster event. Hesperia may be eligible for funding because of the federal disaster declaration, although not all activities may meet the program's requirements. If Hesperia is eligible, work with FEMA to apply for this funding. Chapter 6 of the Hesperia LHMP states that the City should consider updating the LHMP if a disaster leads to a state disaster proclamation or federal disaster declaration that includes part or all of Hesperia, even if there is no loss of life. Consider updating the LHMP. Consult the section on updating the LHMP in this Handbook for details.
I Want to Apply for Mitigation Grant Funding
There are three potential grant funding programs that FEMA administers for hazard mitigation activities. Two of these programs, the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) funding sources, are available to communities with an LHMP that complies with FEMA guidelines and has been adopted within the past five years.
The third funding program is the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), which is available for communities that are part of a federal disaster declaration. This section discusses the BRIC and FMA programs and how to apply for them. The HMGP is discussed under the "Federal Government" subsection of the above "What to Do When a Disaster Has Been Proclaimed or Declared" section.
Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) City of Hesperia 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
D-5
Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) will support states, local communities, tribes, and territories as they undertake hazard mitigation projects, reducing the risks they face from disasters and natural hazards. BRIC is a FEMA pre -disaster hazard mitigation program that replaced the Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program.
The BRIC program's guiding principles are supporting communities through capability- and capacity-building; encouraging and enabling innovation; promoting partnerships; enabling large projects; maintaining flexibility; and providing consistency.
Development projects must be identified in a hazard mitigation plan that meets FEMA guidelines and has been adopted within the past five years. When applying to this program, review the list of hazard mitigation actions in Attachment 4 to see which projects may be eligible. Planning efforts for communities that lack a valid hazard mitigation plan may be eligible for funding if the effort would create a valid hazard mitigation plan. All BRIC grant applications are processed through the State. To learn more, consult with Cal OES representatives or visit the FEMA webpage for the program. At the time of writing, this webpage is available at
https://www.fema.gov/grants/mitigation/building-resilient- infrastructure-communities.
TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO APPLY FOR BRIC FUNDING:
Confirm that the program is currently accepting funding applications. Check with representatives from Cal OES or consult the Cal OES webpage on the BRIC program.
At the time of writing, this webpage is available at
https://www.fema.gov/grants/mitigation/building-resilient-infrastructure- communities.
Identify the actions from the hazard mitigation strategy (see Attachment 4) that call on the City to pursue funding or list grants as a potential funding source. Confirm that the actions are consistent with the requirements of the BRIC grant. Coordinate with Cal OES representatives to compile and submit materials for the grant application.
Flood Mitigation Assistance
The FMA grant program is a competitive, national program that awards funding for physical development projects and planning efforts that mitigate against long-term damage from flooding. The funding is only available to communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which Hesperia currently does. Communities must also have a valid hazard mitigation plan that meets FEMA guidelines to be eligible, and all projects must be consistent with the list of actions in the hazard mitigation strategy. When applying to this program, review the list of hazard mitigation actions in Attachment 4 to see which projects may be eligible. As with the BRIC program, applications for the FMA program must be processed through the State. To view more information, consult with Cal OES representatives or visit the FEMA webpage on the program. At the time of writing, this webpage is available at https://www.fema.gov/grants/mitigation/floods
.
TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO APPLY FOR FMA FUNDING:
City of Hesperia 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

Confirm that the program is currently accepting funding applications. Check with representatives from Cal OES or consult the Cal OES webpage on the FMA program.
At the time of writing, this webpage is available at
https://www.fema.gov/grants/mitigation/floods.
Identify the actions from the hazard mitigation strategy (see Attachment 4) that
call on the City to pursue funding or list grants as a potential funding source. Confirm that the actions are consistent with the requirements of the FMA grant. Coordinate with Cal OES representatives to compile and submit materials for the grant application.
Hesperia is going through the budgeting process
Hesperia's budget process is an ideal opportunity to secure funding for hazard mitigation actions and to ensure that hazard mitigation efforts are incorporated into the City's fiscal priorities. Hesperia currently operates on an annual budget cycle that runs from July 1st to June 30th.
During this process, City staff should take the following steps to incorporate hazard mitigation into Hesperia's annual budget:
Include hazard mitigation activities into Hesperia's list of Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). Review the list of hazard mitigation actions in Attachment 4 and identify the projects that can be included in the CIP or can support efforts within the CIP.
Review the risk and threat assessments in the LHMP (Chapter 3 and Chapter 4) to ensure that all items in the CIP list are planned, designed, and constructed to minimize the threat from hazard events.
Identify opportunities to identify stand -alone hazard mitigation actions through the annual budget process. Include appropriate items from Attachment 4 in the budget as stand -alone line items, particularly items that the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (Planning Committee) considered a high priority. Set aside staff to conduct hazard mitigation activities, including time to participate in Planning Committee meetings and research, prepare, and submit BRIC and FMA grant opportunities (consult the "I Want to Apply for Mitigation Grant Funding" section above).
Ensure hazard mitigation activities are reflected in each department's priorities and earmarked time for specific goals.

Hesperia is Conducting its Annual meeting of the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee
The hazard mitigation planning process brings together representatives from multiple City departments as well as other relevant stakeholders. It provides a forum to discuss the hazards in Hesperia and how to mitigate them effectively. As mentione d in Chapter 6 of the LHMP, the Planning Committee should meet at least once each year, beginning a year after the LHMP is adopted. During these meetings, the Planning Committee should discuss implementation progress and integration of hazard mitigation ac tions in other City documents. At these meetings, the Planning Committee can review the status of the hazard mitigation actions and discuss whether completed or in -progress actions are working as expected. These meetings also allow the Planning Committee t o strategically plan for the upcoming year.
It may help for the Planning Committee to meet early in the year, in advance of annual budget activities. Attachment 3 contains an example of a Planning Committee Meeting Agenda.
The annual meeting should include representatives from City departments and other organizations that originally prepared the LHMP. Representatives from other relevant organizations should also be invited. During the preparation of the current LHMP, the following individuals were part of the Planning Committee:

In advance of Planning Committee meetings, consider using Attachment 1 to maintain an accurate list of recent disaster events that have occurred in and around Hesperia since the LHMP was adopted. At the Planning Committee meeting, review the Plan Maintenance Table (Attachment 2) to identify any gaps in the LHMP or any other component of the plan that needs updating. This also allows Planning Committee members the opportunity to review the actions in the hazard mitigation strategy (Attachment 4) and ensure that they are implemented as intended.
Hesperia is updating its policy and regulatory documents If Hesperia is updating the LHMP, the Safety Element or Housing Element of the General Plan, or the Zoning Code, consult the following applicable section.
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
All LHMPs should be updated every five years. This helps keep the plan up to date and ensures that it reflects the most recent guidance, requirements, science, and best practices. An updated LHMP also helps keep Hesperia eligible for hazard mitigation grants that require a valid, recent LHMP (see "I Want to Apply for Mitigation Grant Funding"), along with an increased amount of post -disaster recovery funds.
The update process for the LHMP takes approximately one year. To ensure that a new LHMP comes into effect before the previous one expires, the update process should begin no later than four years after the plan is adopted. Updates may occur sooner at the City's dis cretion. Potential reasons for updating the LHMP sooner may include a state disaster proclamation or federal disaster declaration that covers part or all of Hesperia, or if a disaster leads to a loss of life in Hesperia (see the "What to Do When a Disaster Has Been Proclaimed or Declared" section), as discussed in Chapter 6 of the LHMP.
Take the following steps to update the LHMP:
A
SSEMBLE THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING COMMITTEE
Convene a Planning Committee meeting no later than four years after the LHMP is adopted. Invite the regular Planning Committee members, along with representatives from other organizations that may have a role to play in the update process. Review the current status of mitigation actions, including if there are any that are not being City of Hesperia 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
D-9
implemented as pl anned or are not working as expected. Determine if there have been any changes in hazard events, regulations, best practices, or other items that should be incorporated into an updated LHMP.
Decide if there is a need for a technical consultant to assist with the LHMP update and conduct consultant selection activities if needed. If a consultant is desired, the selection process should begin a few months before the update begins. Create and implement a community engagement strategy based on the strategy prepared for the existing LHMP. Describe in-person and online engagement strategies and materials, including ideas for meetings and workshops, draft community surveys, content for websites and press releases, and other materials that may be useful.
U
PDATE THE RISK AND THREAT ASSESSMENTS
Review and update the risk assessment to reflect the most recent conditions in Hesperia.
Consider recent hazard events, new science associated with hazards and climate change, new development and land use patterns, and other recent changes in local conditions. Evaluate the status of all key facilities. Update this list if new facilities have been constructed or if existing facilities have been decommissioned. Re-assess the threat to key facilities. Review the demographics of community residents and update the threat assessment for vulnerable populations and other community members.
Assess any changes to the threat to all other community assets, including key services, other facilities, and economic drivers.
UPDATE THE MITIGATION ACTIONS
Update the existing hazard mitigation actions to reflect actions in progress. Remove actions that have been completed or revise them to increase their effectiveness. Revise actions that have been abandoned or delayed to make them more feasible or remove them from the list of mitigation actions if they are no longer appropriate for Hesperia. Develop mitigation actions to improve the status of hazard mitigation activities in H
esperia by addressing any issues not covered by the existing LHMP. The ability to expand current mitigation capabilities will generally be reliant upon the budgeting allocated for each department/program for that fiscal year. The level at which these programs may or may not be expanded upon, will be dependent upon
t
he amount of funding received. FEMA has released a series of guides over the past few years which highlight some of the ways in which jurisdictions can expand mitigation. Some strategies for increasing current mitigation capabilities may include:
City should actively identify, adopt, and enforce the most current set of development codes and standards available. Strongly encouraging new development to be constructed to higher standards than currently required, increasing resilience within the community.
Engaging parts of the community that may not be actively involved in mitigati on e
fforts.
Expanding the number and types of organizations involved in mitigation planning and i
mplementation, increasing both efficiency and bandwidth. Fostering new relationships to bring underrepresented populations and partners to the hazard mitigation planning process.
City of Hesperia 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
D-10
During the annual LHMP review, the HMPC should look for opportunities to fund and expand/enhance the effectiveness of current mitigation actions. During annual budgeting processes, the City should identify new funding sources (bonds, grants, assessment districts, etc.) that can be used to support existi ng
c
apabilities enhancements.
Ensure that the feedback from the community engagement activities is reflected in the new and updated mitigation actions.
REVIEW AND ADOPT THE UPDATED PLAN
Review the other chapters and appendices of the LHMP to reflect any changes made t
hrough the update process.
Release the updated plan to the Planning Committee members and revise the plan to r
eflect any comments by Planning Committee members.
Distribute the updated Plan to any appropriate external agencies not included in the P
lanning Committee and revise the plan as appropriate in response to any comments. Release the updated plan publicly for review and make revisions to the plan to reflect public comments.
Submit the plan to Cal OES and FEMA for approval and make any necessary revisions. Submit the plan to the Hesperia City Council for adoption.
The Safety Element of the General Plan
The Safety Element is a required component of Hesperia's General Plan. It can be updated as a stand- alone activity or as part of a more comprehensive process to update multiple sections or all of the General Plan. The Safety Element does not need to be updated on any set schedule, but updates should be frequent enough for the element to remain current and applicable to the community.
Local communities can incorporate their LHMP into their Safety Element as allowed under Section 65302.6 of the California Government Code, as long as the LHMP meets minimum federal guidelines.
This allows communities to be eligible for an increased share of post -disaster relief funding from the State if a hazard situation occurs, as per Section 8685.9 of the California Government Code.
Take the following steps to incorporate the LHMP into the Safety Element:
I
NCORPORATE NEW REQUIREMENTS INTO THE SAFETY ELEMENT, AND ENSURE THAT THE LHMP IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE SAFETY ELEMENT
Review the requirements for Safety Elements in Section 65302(g) of the California Government Code and for LHMPs in Section 65302.6. Ensure that both documents meet all state requirements.
Ensure that the information in both plans does not contradict each other and that any inconsistencies are corrected to use the most accurate and appropriate information. This i
nformation should include a community description, a risk assessment, and a threat assessment.
Ensure that the policies in the Safety Element support the LHMP and provide a planning f
ramework for specific hazard mitigation actions.
City of Hesperia 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
D-11
The Housing Element of the General Plan
The Housing Element is a required component of Hesperia's General Plan. Section 65583 of the California Government Code requires a Housing Element to analyze and plan for new residential growth in a community, including residential growth for households with an annual income below the area median. Like an LHMP, state regulations require the Housing Elements to be updated regularly to remain current and valid.
The Housing Element is not required to contain any information or policies related to hazards, although it may include policies that address retrofitting homes to improve resiliency. However, state law links the regular schedule of Housing Element updates to mandatory revisions to other General Plan elements. For example, Section 65302(g)(2) of the California Government Code requires that communities that update their Housing Element on or after January 1, 2009, also update their Safety Element to include specific information and policies related to flood protection. As the LHMP is incorporated into the Safety Element, updates to the Housing Element may indirectly trigger updates to the LHMP.
To update the LHMP concurrent with updates to the Housing Element, take the following steps:
ENSURE THAT THE LHMP MEETS ANY NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SAFETY ELEMENT THAT MAY BE
TRIGGERED BY A HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE
Section 65302(g) of the California Government Code lists several requirements for the Safety Element of the General Plan. Some of these requirements are triggered by updates to the Housing Element. Check to see if there are any new requirements of this nature. Note tha t
th
e requirement is linked to the new Housing Element's adoption date, not the date the update pr
ocess begins.
Because the LHMP is incorporated into the Safety Element, any amendments or revisions to the Safety Element triggered by the Housing Element update may be made directly in the LHMP. Requirements triggered by the Housing Element are unlikely to require a full rewrite of the LHMP, but the process should fully involve the Planning Committee and include appropriate community engagement.
Adopt the updated LHMP and incorporate it into the Safety Element. If necessary, amen d t
he Safety Element to ensure the two documents are consistent (review the "Incorporate New Requirements Into the Safety Element, and Ensure that the LHMP is Consistent with the Safety Element" subsection above).
The Hesperia Municipal Code
Hesperia's Municipal Code contains a set of standards that guide land uses and development in the community. These standards include where different types of buildings and land use activities may be located, how these structures must be built, and how they must be operated or maintained. The Municipal Code may include requirements that structures (particularly new structures or those undergoing substantial renovations) incorporate hazard- resistant features, be located outside the most hazard-prone areas, or take other steps to reduce hazard vulnerability.
All communities in California are required to adopt the minimum state Building Standard Code (BSC), which includes some hazard mitigation requirements for new or significantly renovated structures. The BSC is generally updated every three years, with supplemental code updates halfway into each update cycle. Title 15, "Buildings and Construction," of Hesperia's Municipal Code contains building regulations City of Hesperia 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
D-12
and incorporates the BSC. Other sections of the Code adopt additional standards as desired by the City t
hat adapts the BSC to Hesperia’s local context.
As a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), Hesperia is required to incorporate Floodplain Management Requirements, which is located in Title 8, Chapter 13 – Flood Hazard Protections Prevention Regulations. These regulations establish standards for developing and operating facilities within flood-prone areas. Other sections of the Hesperia M
unicipal Code may include additional standards related to hazard mitigation activities.
With the exception of the Floodplain Management Regulations and the minimum standards in the BSC, Hesperia is not required to incorporate hazard-related requirements in the Municipal Code.
However, the Municipal Code is an effective tool for implementing hazard mitigation measures related to the siting, construction, and operation of new buildings and other structures. Substantial updates to the Municipal Code, including the Buildings and Construction and Zoning Code sections, should be done in a way that is consistent with the LHMP.
INCLUDE HAZARD-RELATED REQUIREMENTS IN APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE HESPERIA CODE OF
ORDINANCES
If the BSC is being updated, evaluate the hazard-related requirements of all sections in the new BSC. Identify any areas where it may be feasible to add or revise standards to help reduce the threat from hazard events. Ensure that these standards are consistent with the LHMP. Consider whether standards should be applied to all structures, to specific types of structures, or to structures in a limited area (such as a flood plain). If the Zoning Code is being updated, ensure that all requirements do not expose community members or community assets to an excessive risk of harm. Where feasible, use the requirements to strengthen community resiliency to hazard events. Ensure that these standards are consistent with the LHMP. Consider possible standards such as overlay zones that strengthen zoning requirements in hazard- prone areas, landscaping and grading requirements that buffer development from hazards, siting, and design standards that make structures more resilient, and other strategies as appropriate.

Attachment 3: Sample Agenda and Topics for the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee
This attachment includes a sample agenda and discussion topics for the annual meeting of the Planning Committee. Meetings do not have to follow this order or structure, but the items included in this attachment should be addressed as part of the annual meeting. During the update process for the LHMP, it is likely that the Planning Committee will meet more frequently. The meetings of the Planning Committee during the update process will involve different discussion topics.
ITEM 1: RECENT HAZARD EVENTS
1.1. What hazard events have occurred this past year in Hesperia or nearby in a way that affected the community?
• Identify events that caused loss of life or significant injury to Hesperia community members, significant property damage in Hesperia, or widespread disruption to Hesperia.
• More minor events should also be identified if there is a need for a community response to mitigate against future such events.
1.2. What are the basic facts and details behind any such hazard events? • Consider the size and location of the affected area, any measurements of severity, any injuries and deaths, the cost of any damage, the number of people displaced or otherwise impacted, and other relevant summary information. • Ensure that these facts and details are clearly recorded for future plan updates, including using the Disaster Information Table (Attachment 1).
