PRESENTATIONS
Damien Spartans Division 1 State Champions 2025-26
The 2025-26 Damien Spartan basketball team began the season as an unproven roster made up of 6 seniors, 5 juniors, 4 sophomores, and 5 freshmen, but finished as a tight-knit group of undisputed champions. Fueled by stifling defense, relentless three-point shooting, and unwavering resilience, the Spartans quickly established themselves as contenders. They opened the season with five consecutive double-digit victories to win the Battle of Rosecrans title, rebounded from a narrow post- Thanksgiving loss by capturing a second tournament championship, and used a challenging December slate against national competition to prepare for a strong postseason run.
Damien carried that momentum into the new year, winning 11 straight double-digit games and securing its first Baseline League title in four years. After briefly struggling against elite Open Division opponents in early February, the Spartans responded with six consecutive victories to close the season. Through adversity, toughness, and team chemistry, this remarkable group of student- athletes achieved the ultimate goal and cemented its legacy as Division 1 State Champions.
The team was coached by Michael LeDuc, Eric Johnson, Yancy Dodson, Darian Zabel, and Andrew Garcia.
PLAYERS: George Bachoura Reiner Bowen Kameron Dodson Nathaniel Ford Samuel Franco Elijah Garner Marcus Gholar Finnian Herod Dillon Hsieh Joseph Mariles-

City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: June 1, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Danny Wu, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: SENATE BILL 1: CALIFORNIA ROAD MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION ACT (SB 1 RMRA) - FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 PROJECT LIST.
SUMMARY
In 2017, Senate Bill 1 (“SB1”), also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was signed into law. SB1 increased gasoline and diesel fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales tax, and vehicle registration fees and provided for future inflationary adjustments. The generated revenue is earmarked for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on state highways and local streets, with a portion of the funds being distributed annually to eligible cities and counties. The City’s allocation for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is estimated to be $912,459.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a Resolution titled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A PROJECT LIST FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026- 27 FUNDED BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017," approving the proposed SB 1 project list, designating the Annual Pavement Management Program as the Fiscal Year 2026–27 project.
DISCUSSION
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), was enacted by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address critical funding shortfalls for transportation infrastructure across California. SB 1 increased fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees, with revenues deposited into the State's Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA).
Each year, RMRA funds are allocated to cities and counties to support vital transportation- related efforts, including pavement preservation, roadway rehabilitation, and safety enhancements. SB 1 also established strict accountability measures to ensure that these public funds are used as intended. To receive annual RMRA allocations, local agencies must submit a list of proposed projects to the California Transportation Commission (CTC), along with a resolution formally designating how the funds will be spent.
For Fiscal Year 2026–27, the City of La Verne is projected to receive approximately $912,459 in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding through the State’s Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) program. Consistent with the City’s long-term infrastructure preservation strategy, the majority of these funds will be allocated toward the City’s Annual Streets Preservation & Rehabilitation Program, and Annual Alleyway Preservation & Rehabilitation Program. Specific
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
Senate Bill 1: California Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (SB 1 RMRA) - Fiscal Year 2026-27 Project List.,
projects are identified and prioritized consistent with the City's Pavement Management Program Update.
The City’s Annual Streets Preservation & Rehabilitation Program utilizes SB 1/RMRA funds to repair and preserve various public streets through pavement rehabilitation, resurfacing, and preventative maintenance treatments that improve roadway conditions, safety, and long-term infrastructure performance. In addition, a portion of the funding will support the City’s Annual Alleyway Preservation & Rehabilitation Program, which focuses on maintaining and improving public alleyways, improving pavement conditions, drainage, accessibility, and service access for residents, trash hauling, business, and emergency vehicles.
RMRA funding will be supplemented with additional restricted transportation revenue sources, including the County transportation sales tax Local Return Funds generated through Proposition C and Measures R and M. By leveraging multiple transportation funding sources, the City is able to maximize available resources, expand the scope of roadway and alleyway improvements, and continue implementing a proactive approach to transportation infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation.
Investing in the preservation and rehabilitation of the City's street network and alleyways through SB 1 RMRA funding will help extend the life of La Verne’s roadways, reduce long-term maintenance costs, and improve overall safety and drivability for the community. By leveraging these state funds, the City can continue to make meaningful progress toward maintaining a reliable and efficient transportation network that meets current and future needs.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The City anticipates receiving $912,459 in SB 1 RMRA funds in Fiscal Year 2026-27. Adopting this Resolution ensures that the City does not jeopardize its annual disbursement of SB 1 RMRA funds, which are utilized as part of the funding for the Annual Streets Preservation & Rehabilitation Program and Annual Alleyway Preservation & Rehabilitation Program.
Appropriations for 2026–27 will be included as part of the regular budgeting process with anticipated expenditures totaling $933,820. There is no impact on the General Fund.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brandon Coatney, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT CONTRACT AWARD TO
INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS CONSULTING FOR COMMUNITY WILDFIRE
PROTECTION PLAN UPDATE.
SUMMARY
In September 2025, the City received a grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to update the City's Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). A CWPP identifies wildfire risk in the community and lays out the mitigation strategy to protect homes and infrastructure. Following a competitive RFP solicitation, the City has identified Integrated Solutions Consulting as the best fit for the City.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Integrated Solutions Consulting to update the City's Community Wildfire Protection Plan and authorize the City Manager to execute any amendments within the approved budget.
DISCUSSION
Due to our geographic location, topography, and land use patterns, the City of La Verne is exposed to a variety of natural hazards, including earthquakes, flooding and severe storms, extreme heat, and wildfires. Wildfire risk is of particular concern, as significant portions of the City, especially northern residential neighborhoods, are located within the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) and designated by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. These conditions are further compounded by steep terrain, contiguous wildland fuel beds, and demographic factors that increase vulnerability during wildfire events.
To proactively address wildfire risk, the City previously developed a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) in 2014 in collaboration with regional and federal partners. While the plan has guided defensible space inspections, fuel modification efforts, and community education initiatives over the past decade, it no longer reflects current wildfire science, updated hazard data, evolving land use conditions, or demographic changes within the community. As a result, the City has identified the need to comprehensively update the CWPP to better inform mitigation planning, emergency preparedness, and future funding efforts.
In September 2025, the City received a grant award from FEMA in the amount of $169,514.28 to develop and adopt a Community Wildfire Protection Plan, with a performance period ending on September 26, 2027.

Professional Services Agreement Contract Award to Integrated Solutions Consulting for Community Wildfire Protection Plan Update., Page 2
Through the 2026 update, the Community Wildfire Protection Plan will conduct an analytical review of the City's wildfire risk utilizing various data sets, identify community-level evacuation plans and potential access constraints, conduct a risk-assessment, evaluate forest health and fuel conditions, and develop a mitigation strategy. This plan will build upon, and be consistent with, the information found within the 2014 CWPP, General Plan, and 2026 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The adopted CWPP will also comply with FEMA CWPP guidance.
As part of the CWPP update, there will be a detailed community outreach strategy to ensure resident input shapes the final plan. This includes four public engagement events, a community survey, and webpage development, with a focus on reaching residents at highest risk, including older adults and residents with limited mobility.
Bid Process
On February 4, 2026, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on PlanetBids to update the City's Community Wildfire Protection Plan. At the close the RFP on March 12, 2026, the City received 7 submissions from the following qualified firms (listed in alphabetical order):
• Bintel
• Black & Veatch
• Chloeta
• CrisisReady Labs
• Dudek
• Integrated Solutions Consulting
• Rincon
The bids were reviewed by an interdepartmental committee to assess experience and expertise, methodology, references, and cost - as shown in the attached Proposal Summary.
After the independent scoring of the proposals, the top four firms, Bintel, Chloeta, CrisisReady Labs, and Integrated Solutions Consulting, were invited to the interview process. Upon completion of the interviews, the Review Committee conducted a final call with the top three firms from the interviews, Bintel, CrisisReady Labs, and Integrated Solutions Consulting. Based on this review, it was determined that Integrated Solutions Consulting's proposal best fit the needs of the City.
Integrated Solutions Consulting, founded in San Diego, has detailed experience updating hazard mitigation plans and conducting risk assessments throughout Southern California, and has successfully developed CWPPs for over 50 clients across the nation. Through the CWPP update, Integrated Solutions Consulting will utilize the Odysseus Enterprise System, their software with comprehensive emergency management capabilities from hazard mapping and modeling to hazard identification and risk assessment analysis.
Should the City Council award the contract to Integrated Solutions Consulting, work is intended to begin in June 2026, with the draft CWPP being presented before the City Council tentatively in March 2027.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The proposed agreement with Integrated Solutions Consulting is in an amount not to exceed $99,950 and will be funded through the Miscellaneous Grants Fund as part of the Fiscal Year 2026–27 budget process.

Sufficient grant funding is available to support the proposed contract and associated project activities. No impact to the General Fund is anticipated as part of this action.

Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
SECTION I: GENERAL INFORMATION
A. BACKGROUND
The City of La Verne is located along the foothills of the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys. La Verne was founded in 1887 and incorporated in 1906, is approximately 35 miles east of Los Angeles, and has a population of over 33,000. The City maintains a council-manager form of government in which the City Council develops and establishes ordinances and policies in the best interest of its citizens.
Due to its geographic location, topography, and land use patterns, the City of La Verne is exposed to a variety of natural hazards, including earthquakes, flooding and severe storms, extreme heat, and wildfires. Wildfire risk is of particular concern, as significant portions of the City, especially northern residential neighborhoods, are located within the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) and designated by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. These conditions are further compounded by steep terrain, contiguous wildland fuel beds, and demographic factors that increase vulnerability during wildfire events.
To proactively address wildfire risk, the City previously developed a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) in 2014 in collaboration with regional and federal partners. While the plan has guided defensible space inspections, fuel modification efforts, and community education initiatives over the past decade, it no longer reflects current wildfire science, updated hazard data, evolving land use conditions, or demographic changes within the community. As a result, the City has identified the need to compr ehensively update the CWPP to better inform mitigation planning, emergency preparedness, and future funding efforts.
In September 2025, the City received a grant award letter from FEMA to develop and adopt a Community Wildfire Protection Plan meeting the requirements outlined in 44 CFR Part 201 and the most current FEMA guidance . The grant performance period closes on September 26, 2027.
B. OBJECTIVE
The City of La Verne is seeking a qualified firm to update and modernize the City of La Verne’s 2014 Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) to reflect current wildfire hazard conditions, incorporate updated scientific data and mapping tools, and align with applicable local, state, and federal wildfire mitigation priorities. The updated CWPP will provide a comprehensive and actionable framework to reduce wildfire risk within the City’s Wildland -Urban Interface (WUI) through a current risk and vulnerability assessment, identification and prioritization of mitigation strategies, targeted community and stakeholder engagement, and development of public -facing
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
mapping tools. The plan will be integrated with the City’s General Plan and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and prepared in a manner consistent with applicable federal, state, and local requirements, including the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act, applicable FEMA guidance, 44 C.F .R. Part 201, relevant provisions of the California Government Code, Public Resources Code, and Cal Fire CWPP guidance. The plan shall also be p repared consistently with the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) and aligned wit h the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy . The updated CWPP will serve as a living document to guide future mitigation investments, support grant eligibility, and enhance long -term coordination, preparedness, and community resilience to wildfire threats.
SECTION II: SCOPE OF WORK
Project tasks shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, those items noted below. If the consultant feels that additional tasks are warranted, they must be clearly identified in the consultant’s proposal.
In preparing a response to this RFP , the consultant shall adhere to the Proposal Format detailed in the RFP and must describe the methodology and techniques that it will use, time and staffing resources allocated, anticipated meetings, and costs involved i n addressing each of the following tasks. All tasks listed below must meet compliance with 44 CFR Part 201 and the most current FEMA guidance.
T ask 1 – Project Management and Coordination
The consultant shall provide overall project management and coordination for the CWPP update. This task includes conducting a project kickoff meeting, developing and maintaining a detailed project schedule, facilitating regular coordination meetings with City staff, and providing quarterly progress updates. The consultant shall coordinate with City departments and identified partner agencies to ensure consistency with related planning efforts, including the General Plan and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), and to support inclusive collaboration consistent with FEMA CWPP guidance.
T ask 2 – Data Collection and Existing Conditions Review The consultant shall collect, review, and synthesize relevant existing data, plans, and studies to inform the CWPP update. This shall include review of the 2014 CWPP , wildfire hazard and fire history data, GIS datasets, vegetation and fuels information, infrastructure inventories, and applicable local, regional, state, and federal planning documents. The consultant shall incorporate available City materials, including the Community Risk Assessment and information developed through the LHMP update, as appropriate.
T ask 3 – Wildfire Risk, Fire History, and Vulnerability Assessment As part of the wildfire risk and vulnerability assessment, the consultant shall evaluate community-level evacuation and access conditions within the Wildland -Urban Interface (WUI). This analysis shall identify primary evacuation routes, secondary routes where
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
applicable, and general access constraints that may affect evacuation during wildfire events, including roadway capacity, topographic limitations, and areas with limited ingress and egress.
The analysis shall consider community -wide conditions rather than parcel -level evacuation planning and shall account for populations that may experience increased evacuation challenges, including older adults and residents with limited mobility. Findings shall be used to inform mitigation strategy development and prioritization but shall not constitute an operational evacuation plan.
The consultant shall document evacuation- related constraints and opportunities at a planning level consistent with Community Wildfire Protection Plan guidance and applicable federal and state planning standards.
T ask 4 – Assets at Risk and Community Characteristics Analysis The consultant shall evaluate assets at risk within the planning area, consistent with FEMA guidance on assessing community-wide conditions rather than individual properties. This task shall include assessment of common building and infrastructure characte ristics, access and evacuation constraints, and conditions that contribute to structural vulnerability during wildfire events. The analysis shall consider residential areas, community facilities, and critical infrastructure and identify common risk factors that inform mitigation strategies.
T ask 5 – Forest Health and Fire Fuels Assessment
The consultant shall evaluate forest and landscape health and fire fuels conditions within and adjacent to the City, consistent with FEMA CWPP guidance. This task shall include assessment of vegetation types, fuel loads, invasive species, and landscape conditions that influence wildfire behavior. The consultant shall identify general forest and landscape health issues and potential treatment approaches, relying on appropriate professional guidance and existing data sources.
T ask 6 – Community and Stakeholder Engagement
The consultant shall support and facilitate a structured, inclusive community and stakeholder engagement process to inform development of the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), consistent with FEMA guidance emphasizing broad participation and representation reflective of community demographics. Outreach efforts shall be coordinated with City staff and designed to engage residents and stakeholders located within the Wildland -Urban Interface (WUI), wi th particular attention to vulnerable populations, including older adults and residents with limited mobility.
At a minimum, the consultant shall support a minimum of four (4) public engagement events during the CWPP development process and assist with the development and distribution of community surveys, with a target of achieving broad participation and a minimum of 100 survey responses. Engagement activities may include public meetings,
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
workshops, surveys, and coordination with homeowners’ associations (HOAs), staffing a booth at city-wide events, and regional or agency partners, as appropriate.
To support transparent and accessible communication throughout the planning process, the consultant shall design and develop a public -facing CWPP project webpage in coordination with City staff. The webpage shall serve as a central information hub for the CWPP update and shall include, at a minimum, background information, project milestones, meeting notices, draft documents, survey links, and final plan materials. The webpage shall be designed to meet basic accessibility standards and be compatible with the City’s existing website platform or hosting requirements.
The consultant’s role shall include preparation of outreach materials (including social media graphics and posts, flyers, mailers, etc.), meeting agendas, presentation content, and summary documentation of community input. All engagement activities and feedback shall be documented and incorporated into the CWPP , ensuring that community perspectives meaningfully inform the risk assessment, mitigation strategies, and implementation priorities identified in the plan.
T ask 7 – Mitigation Strategy and Action Plan Development Based on the risk assessment and community input, the consultant shall identify and prioritize wildfire mitigation strategies and projects. This task shall include development of a mitigation action plan addressing defensible space, fuel reduction, forest and landscape health, evacuation routes, access improvements, and protection of critical infrastructure.
Mitigation actions shall be prioritized based on relative risk, feasibility, costs, and potential benefit and structured to support implementation and future funding opportunities.
T ask 8 – Policy Integration and CWPP Document Preparation The consultant shall prepare the updated CWPP document, integrating technical analyses, stakeholder input, and mitigation priorities. The plan shall include all core CWPP elements identified in FEMA guidance, including an overview of the planning area, identification of collaborators, risk and asset mapping, mitigation strategies, and an action plan. The CWPP shall be coordinated with and complementary to the City’s General Plan, LHMP , and other relevant policy documents and structured as a living document to support future updates.
T ask 9 – GIS Mapping and Public-Facing Tools
The consultant shall develop GIS -based mapping products and a public -facing visualization tool, such as an interactive map or StoryMap, to communicate wildfire risk, assets at risk, and mitigation priorities. GIS data and products shall be delivered in formats compatible with City systems and suitable for ongoing planning, public communication, and future grant applications.
T ask 10 – Finalization and Adoption Support
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
The consultant shall support review, refinement, and finalization of the CWPP , including incorporation of City and stakeholder comments. This task shall include preparation of final documents, development of materials necessary for City Council considerati on and adoption, and delivery of all final CWPP products in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements and FEMA CWPP guidance.
Upon adoption of the CWPP by the City Council, the consultant shall provide the City with an editable electronic version of the adopted plan in a format acceptable to the City and ten (10) printed and bound full-color copies of the final CWPP .
All work products developed under this Agreement, including but not limited to the Community Wildfire Protection Plan document, technical memoranda, reports, GIS data and layers, mapping products, databases, public -facing web content, StoryMaps, graphics, and outreach materials, shall become the exclusive property of the City of La Verne upon completion and acceptance.
The consultant shall provide all deliverables in fully editable formats acceptable to the City, including native GIS files and datasets.

Our methodology and project execution strategy demonstrate a deep understanding of the City’s objectives, the complexity of wildfire hazards in the wildland‑urban interface (WUI), and the level of effort required to deliver a compliant and actionable CWPP.
ISC will lead a comprehensive planning process grounded in stakeholder engagement, technical rigor, and operational practicality. Beginning with immediate project initiation, our team will work closely with City staff, local fire agencies, state partners, and community stakeholders to define the planning area, refine project goals, and establish a tailored engagement strategy. This includes structured public involvement, community surveys, workshops, and coordination with operational agencies to ensure meaningful participation and broad support for the plan.
Our technical approach includes a full wildfire risk assessment that integrates historical fire data, fuel conditions, WUI mapping, fire behavior modeling, trend analysis, and vulnerability assessments of critical infrastructure, structures, lifelines, and at‑risk populations. ISC will also evaluate local firefighting resources, operational capacities, response access, and mutual aid relationships to align the CWPP with real‑world response needs. Findings from these analyses will support a prioritized mitig ation and resilience strategy, including hazardous fuel treatments, defensible space and home‑hardening recommendations, code and policy enhancements, evacuation improvements, and community preparedness measures.
To ensure accuracy, transparency, and efficiency, ISC will utilize its Odysseus ™ emergency management software suite - an enterprise system that supports plan development, data tracking, mapping, collaboration, compliance checks, and long‑term plan maintenance. This technology enhances coordination between planning partners, streamlines documentation, and establishes the foundation for future updates and implementation tracking.
The final CWPP will meet all HFRA requirements, incorporate public and interagency input, and present actionable, prioritized mitigation projects. It will be delivered with clear documentation of methods, decision processes, WUI boundaries, treatment recom mendations, and implementation strategies that align with available funding opportunities. ISC’s approach ensures that the City receives more than a compliant plan - it receives a strategic, operationally focused roadmap designed to measurably reduce wildfire risk and enhance community resilience for years to come.

Community Wildfire Protection Planning Experience
At Integrated Solutions Consulting (ISC), our 20+ years of success in community wildfire protection planning is more than a function of experience and expertise; it is driven by our dedication and passion for creating wildfire -resilient communities that withstand the growing threats of wildland fire in the wildlan d-urban interface (WUI). ISC’s
experience responding to some of the Nation’s largest
wildfires has been incorporated into our methodology to prepare, update, and deliver Community Wildfire
Protection Plans (CWPPs) that are in accordance with the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) of 2003 (Title I), which establishes the core requirements for collaborative development, prioritization of hazardous fuel reduction treatments, and recommendations to reduce structural
ignitability. These plans align with key federal guidance, including the "Preparing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan: A Handbook for Wildland- Urban Interface
Communities" (2004), and involve mutual agreement
among the required entiti es: applicable local government, local fire department(s), and the state agency responsible for forest management. ISC has supported communities,
agencies, and jurisdictions of all sizes across the United States, facilitating stakeholder collaboration, comprehensive risk assessments, and prioritized mitigation strategies that enhance community preparedness, protect essential infrastructure, and qualify projects for federal funding from agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.
With over 20 years of experience across all 10 FEMA regions, ISC brings specialized expertise in fire service organizational studies, emergency response optimization, and regional collaboration planning. Our relevant experience includes:
• Wildfire Response Planning: Partnered with mountain communities facing wildland- urban interface challenges, integrating hazard identification, resource optimization, and mutual aid protocols that reduced response gaps by 20-30%. • Fire District Consolidation Studies: Conducted feasibility assessments for multi-agency fire service integration in three Western states, analyzing governance models, cost-benefit scenarios, and implementation roadmaps while preserving local identity. • Standards of Cover Assessments: Developed NFPA 1710/1720-compliant deployment plans for combined career/volunteer departments, optimizing response times and on- scene staffing through GIS-based coverage analysis.
• Regional Emergency Services Studies: Facilitated multi-jurisdictional planning efforts resulting in shared dispatch centers, joint training facilities, and consolidated procurement systems achieving 15-25% cost savings

Under FEMA PA TAC II, ISC mobilized technical recovery experts to support the response and recovery of the Harris and Witch Creek Wildfires. In 2007, our team worked with San Diego and the surrounding counties and their respective municipalities to conduct damage assessments, identify eligible work under the Stafford Act, and ensure compliance with Federal regulations to include environmental. In total, the team identified over $139 million in FEMA Public Assistance funding, to include almost $130 million i n Category A (debris removal) and B (emergency protective measures) eligible work.
Ten years later, ISC was honored to conduct a wildfire community resiliency study on behalf of San Diego County OES of County residents to understand their evacuation, risk management, and preparedness behaviors for future wildfires and other disasters.
The survey was designed to solicit information concerning their familiarization with a current emergency alert, warning, and notification technology, planned and unplanned behaviors to evacuation orders, the level of and importance attached to disaster plann ing, attitudes about future disasters, and the level of their personal preparedness.
The methodology used resulted in the distribution of 60,000 surveys and generated results that ensured a 95% confidence level and less than a 3% margin of error. The results were shared with the public through various press conferences during the 2017 wildfire season.
The main goals of the study were to determine how county residents and private partners find information before, during, and after emergencies and to understand evacuation tendencies and needs of resident’s businesses. Questions were also included to gauge preparedness measures and risk perception in the County. The survey was translated into three languages and distributed in various formats to over 2,500 participants.

Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and 44 CFR Part 201.6, as well as Washington State guidelines through the Washington Emergency Management Division (WA EMD). This comprehensive plan addresses natural hazards such as drought, earthquakes, floods, severe we ather, wildfires, and landslides, alongside technological hazards like structural fires, incorporating a thorough risk assessment, vulnerability analysis, and mitigation strategies. Engaging five primary jurisdictions , Franklin County and the cities of Pas co, Connell, Mess, and Kahlous , along with stakeholders from emergency services, public works, and community organizations, the plan identifies 25 prioritized mitigation actions, including infrastructure hardening, public education campaigns, and land- use planning updates.
These actions aim to reduce potential losses, with estimated annual benefits exceeding $5 million in avoided damage based on historical data from NOAA and USGS, while emphasizing equitable outcomes for underserved populations through tools like the Climate & Economic Justice Screening Tool.
In parallel, ISC is crafting Franklin County's Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) to meet federal mandates under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) of 2003 and guidelines from the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, complemented by Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WA DNR) standards for wildfire risk reduction. The CWPP focuses on wildfire -specific threats in the county's shrub- steppe landscapes and urban-wildland interfaces, prioritizing fuel treatments, defensible space creation, and community preparedness.
Collaborating with the same two jurisdictions and additional partners like fire districts and the National Weather Service, the plan outlines 15 targeted actions, such as prescribed burns and evacuation route enhancements, projected to protect over 96,000 residents and critical infrastructure valued at $308 million in owner -occupied housing. By integrating the HMP and CWPP, ISC ensures a cohesive approach that leverages shared data, stakeholder input, and funding opportunities like FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs, fostering resilient communities against escalating wildfire risks amid climate change.
Wildfire Risk Assessment and Capabilities Gap Assessment Regional Disaster Preparedness Organization (RDPO) Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Location Portland Region, Oregon
The Regional Disaster Preparedness Organization (RDPO) partnered with ISC on a four -phase Regional Wildland Fire Project to enhance understanding of and ability to respond effectively to wildland fire risk in the Region. The RDPO encompasses Clackamas, Col umbia, Multnomah, and Washington counties in Oregon, and Clark County in Washington, as well as dozens of municipalities and special districts within those counties. ISC is currently working with the RDPO on Phase One and Two. Phase One of the Regional Wildland Fire Project includes the identification of defined risk areas and their risk profiles. Subsequent phases will work to identify gaps in regional training, policies, and capabilities to respond to wildfire events, as well as strategies to improve wildfire incident management plans and offer specialized training for large-scale wildfire incidents.
ISC developed a risk assessment and report, which providing summary of the findings from Phase One. Through the study, our team developed methodology to identify and establish Defined Risk Areas (DRA) which are the distinct, location-specific mapping units to be assessed for wildfire risk. A DRA is an aggregation of structures in contact with wildland vegetation types that could be considered Wildland/Urban Intermix or Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI). These DRAs are smaller, pinpointed geographic areas in th e region and may or may not lie within defined WUI areas.
To assess risk within the DRAs, the Project Team constructed a rubric to assess various risk parameters and compile an overall risk score for each DRA. The final rubric tool includes 33 risk parameters grouped into four categories:
Human Life, Health, and Safety; Wildfire Environmental Influences; Intrinsic Values at Risk; and Emergency Wildfire Response Conditions. Trained forestry professionals served as interpreters to use the rubric tool to assess the 33 risk parameters to reach an overall score. This process was completed, using the identical rubric structure and contents, for 728 mapped DRAs.
To adequately analyze social vulnerability within the DRAs, the Project Team partnered with the Metro Social Vulnerability Tools (SVT) Project. The SVT Project identifies which communities in the Region experience barriers to emergency services and program s before, during, and after disasters. The SVT, an online mapping tool, uses 25

Integrated Solutions Consulting (ISC) was selected by the City of Phoenix via RFP 25-0441 to conduct a targeted statistical survey of residents as part of the modified scope for the Comprehensive Community Risk Assessment (CRA), assessing hazard risk perceptions, preparedness behaviors, evacuation tendencies, and overall resiliency with a focus on demographic factors such as vulnerability indicators and community composition. This survey employs stratified random sampling for representativeness across the city's diverse population, multilingual distribution (e.g., English, Spanish), and mixed methods (online, phone, in- person) to achieve a 95% confidence level and low margin of error. As a second phase, the project expands to a citywide wildfire preparedness and evacuation study, integrating resident input with transportation modeling, shelter planning, and barrier analysis (e.g., traffic, pets, access needs) to refine evacuation zones and response strategies. Leveraging ISC's proprietary Odysseus ™|EM365 platform for real -time data reporting and visualization, these elements ensure a holistic approach that ties community feedback to practical enhancements in emergency management.
Building on ISC's longstanding partnership with the City of Phoenix and the Phoenix Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), which began with updating the UASI's Strategic Plan to align with the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)/St akeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) and federal guidance—including capability assessments, gap analyses through surveys and interviews, and a needs -based formula for investment prioritization —the CRA itself is a multi- phased enterprise risk management proj ect that identifies, analyzes, evaluates, and prioritizes risks to enhance emergency preparedness and resilience. The process incorporates extensive stakeholder engagement, such as steering committee formation, public outreach through focus groups and meetings across City Council Districts, data compilation from census and historical sources, risk mapping with GIS tools, and actionable recommendations for hazard mitigation and operations planning.

3. Scope of Work
Methodology
Project Initiation
Upon notification of contract award, the ISC Team Project Manager will immediately contact the designated City Project Manager to set up a Project Initiation Meeting. The ISC Team will be prepared to schedule and conduct this meeting within seven days of contract award. Additionally, the ISC Project Manager will request contact information for additional participa nts and confirm with the designated City Project Manager the desired format or location for this meeting (i.e., in- person, remote, preferred platform, etc.). Once these elements are confirmed, the ISC Team will schedule participants to the Project Initiation Meeting via MS Outlook Calendar Invitations.
During the initial meeting, we will introduce the proposed ISC Team, present the Project Work Plan (PWP), identify initial data requests, and establish processes for collecting data, the designation of control, points of contact, and quantity of and schedule for project deliverables.
Additionally, we will discuss and define administrative requirements for the project, including correspondence, invoicing, and other related project issues. This project kick- off meeting will outline expectations and responsibilities.
Project Work Plan Development & Internal Controls
Central to ISC’s project management approach is the development of the Project Work Plan (PWP). Simply put, the PWP is a formal, approved document used to guide both project execution and project control borne out of consultant and client collaboration.
The ISC Project Manager will utilize the PWP to guide the execution of all project tasks and to manage the quality of the overall project engagement. The PWP will guide the execution of the project, measure progress, and depict the proposed team structure with assigned functions, duties, and responsibilities that will meet the project needs.
Project Reporting & Meeting Planning
From our experience completing similar projects, ISC believes that, given the importance of project reporting, all associated activities must be clearly defined, precisely completed, and evaluated, and agreed upon by both our Team and the Client. Key PWP tasks are included below.
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
Team ISC’s Project Management Approach
Scope Management
Identifies the project description, goals, and objectives; evaluates the project structure, scope management, and controls; supports quality assurance procedures, and manages project risks and mitigation.
Resource
Management
To facilitate increased coordination and provide a technical contractor that will meet and exceed expectations, ISC has selected the most qualified staff for this project. In the unfortunate event that key personnel assigned to this project become unavaila ble, ISC has identified support staff and potential candidates that would be available to fill in. These changes would be implemented only with approval.
Communications &
Information
Management
ISC and its team have invested in advanced technologies to facilitate communication and information sharing between our key personnel and staff. The video conferencing and desktop sharing capabilities of our company has proven to be extremely helpful in pa st projects and have served to increase internal and external communication.
Potential Risks &
Mitigation Strategy
At the beginning of the project, identified and potential risks will be recognized to anticipate and manage, as far as possible, the potential impacts of the project, including reporting all risks. Each time a new risk is detected, it shall be managed (identified, assessed, etc.) by the Project Manager or designee. Preventive and corrective treatment will be implemented to reduce the severity and probability of the occurrence of these risks.
Quality Assurance &
Control
ISC’s Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) defines the organization and the methodology used for all ISC project engagements. The QAP: 1) Identifies processes that will be applied to assure quality; 2) Defines roles and responsibilities to ensure a successful, tim ely project with deliverables on time; 3) Provides the indicators to allow appropriate decisions and tracks/reports progress; 4) Describes software management practices: procedures, rules, and applicable methods for the project; and, 5) Outlines documentation management/delivery.
Project Status
Reports
The ISC Project Manager will provide a “Project Status Report" to the designated City representative(s) at the agreed -upon interval (typically biweekly or monthly). The Report will include a summary of accomplishments by task, project progress assessment, major deliverables for the reporting period, a summary of the tasks due during the ne xt reporting period, any foreseeable project risks and solutions, and financial status for individual tasks as well as the overall project budget.
Invoices & Quarterly
Grant Reporting
The ISC Project Manager will provide invoices to the designated City representative(s), which can be sent either by deliverable or monthly. To ensure the City meets all compliance and reporting requirements, the ISC Team will maintain detailed records of work and expenditures and submit financial and contract performance reports following the grant reporting schedule.
As earlier noted, by defining the City ’s vision of success and expectations at the onset of the project, our Team will readily collaborate with the City to ensure the complete realization of all objectives.
Odysseus™ - CWPP and Emergency Planning Management System Utilizing our experience and expertise in the application of the Odysseus ™ software for community wildfire protection planning, ISC will establish an Odysseus ™ environment to collaborate with participating jurisdictions, document the planning process, analyze and assess wildfire hazard risks, assess firefighting resource capabilities, manage wildfire mitigation actions, and update the CWPP. The ISC team will provide as-needed support to participating jurisdictions
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
in navigating the Odysseus™ environment, to include their respective shared instance, and ensure that their participation in the community wildfire protection planning update is thoroughly documented.
Community Wildfire Protection Plan Work Plan
Methodology Specific to CWPPs
Integrated Solutions Consulting (ISC) brings a deep, proven understanding to the development of Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs), grounded in the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) of 2003 and aligned with foundational guidance such as the "Preparing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan: A Handbook for Wildland- Urban Interface Communities" (2004). Our methodology centers on true collaboration, convening the required core entities —local government, local fire departments, and the state forestr y agency —from the outset to ensure mutual agreement on the final plan, while actively consulting federal land managers, community stakeholders, and other interested parties. This inclusive process drives comprehensive risk assessments that integrate advanced wildfire modeling, GIS-based hazard mapping, historical fire data, and community vulnerabilities in the wildland- urban interface (WUI). By prioritizing hazardous fuel reduction treatments, recommending targeted structural ignitability reductions (such as defensible space and home hardening per NFPA standards), and incorporating firefighting perspectives—including access improvements, suppression tactics, evacuation planning, and mutual aid coordination—ISC crafts CWPPs that not only meet HFRA's minimum r equirements but also enhance operational effectiveness for responders and build long- term community resilience.
Through this structured, evidence -based approach, ISC transforms CWPP development into a catalyst for actionable wildfire mitigation and preparedness. We facilitate data -driven prioritization using cost -benefit analyses, stakeholder consensus -building workshops, and clear decision matrices to identify high -impact projects that reduce wildfire threats while supporting ecosystem health and firefighting safety. Our commitment extends beyond plan drafting to rigorous review cycles, public engagement for broad buy-in, and finalization with signatures from the mandated entities, ensuring eligibility for federal funding and grants. Ultimately, ISC's CWPPs deliver more than compliance —they empower communities with practical, implementable strategies that mitigate risks, strengthen response capabilities, and foster sustained wildfire resilience in an era of increasing fire threats.
Task 1: Meetings and Public & Stakeholder Engagement Strategy A hallmark of ISC’s CWPP process is robust public
involvement, including advertisements in local
newspapers, preparation of public service
announcements, community surveys, distribution of
brochures, newsletters, and fliers and posting information and announcements on local government websites and
social media platforms. The outreach activities associated with the hazard mitigation planning process provides an opportunity for communities to combine these efforts with broader community engagement activities that are already established or planned. Community outreach activities that engage the whole community establish a participation ISC will work directly with Client
stakeholders to ensure the
identified wildfire mitigation and
protection actions are effective,
efficient, scalable, and pragmatic.
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
process that is inclusive of all groups and reflects a representative sample of a community. The benefits of effective public outreach and education should not be underestimated.
The ISC Team has successfully executed large, sophisticated public outreach strategies for planning efforts in multiple urban and regional settings. ISC and its team have documented success in implementing public outreach strategies that utilize mass media and public forums, build community consensus, enhance plan participation, and provide data analytics that can be utilized for a community’s comprehensive emergency management programs . These outreach efforts have required the development of public information materials and documents, such as press releases, fact sheets, manuals, and other education - related products. ISC will work closely with the client to develop a hazard mitigation public involvement strategy that not only meets the State’s and FEMA’s requirements but provides value beyond the hazard mitigation plan.
Though this is inexhaustive, the engagement strategy will address the following key points:
Address FEMA’s requirements for mitigation plans, as identified in the DMA 2000, CFR Part 201.6, the American Planning Association’s Hazard Mitigation: Integrating Best Practices into Planning, and the most current FEMA “how-to” planning guidance. Address state requirements for mitigation plans
Identify members’ contribution to the planning process. Address preliminary goals and objectives.
Identify (and debrief) meetings with key community stakeholders and any other bodies that may seem appropriate.
Distribute questionnaires that will assist in identifying resources that will be needed for successful completion of the project.
Highlight the progress-to-date and the schedule for the remainder of the planning process. Solicit input from members throughout the planning process. Provide value beyond the hazard mitigation and help to inform comprehensive emergency management programs and community resilience
Some of the community engagement strategies that ISC has used to help inform the hazard mitigation planning process include:
• Public Forums/Meetings: ISC’s process for conducting a public forum or meeting is based on the premises that format follows function. The objective for the public meeting for hazard mitigation planning is to inform the public of the hazard risk threats and gather their input in potential hazard mitigation actions. To ensure that optimal attendance for these meetings is achieved that is representative of the whole community, ISC will work with the client to ensure that the date and time of the meeting is shared through the most appropriate channels, and to leverage community networks that are pre-established. • Stakeholder Workshops: Workshops are highly interactive meetings, usually designed for a pre-determined audience that represents different but similar groups. A Stakeholder Workshop includes representatives that can speak for their organizations that are assigned to complete specific tasks such as ranking the community’s hazard risks or identifying mitigation actions. Workshops are a good forum to build consensus with influential groups and decision-makers.
• Community Surveys: In addition to providing quantitative measurements on the viewpoints and perspectives of the public, community surveys can also assist with providing reliable data analytics and scientific measurements to help inform community stakeholders, community leaders, and policymakers. ISC’s proprietary methodology
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
ensures that the survey is representative of the community, achieves a 95% confidence interval, and provides evidence-based results that not only inform the community’s hazard mitigation plan, but also the community’s comprehensive emergency management program. When completed over multiple hazard mitigation plan updates, the survey serves as an instrument to measure community resiliency and progress. • Social Media & Internet Campaigns: Campaigns ran through social media and the internet provides a medium to share information with the public. Although these campaigns provide limited interactivity with the public, supporting data analytics can identify segments of the public that were reached.
ISC will work with the client to prepare a hazard mitigation plan engagement strategy that benefits not only the plan update but also considers other public outreach initiatives, program priorities, and desired outcomes. U ltimately, ISC recommends conducting a variety of community engagement strategies throughout the hazard mitigation planning process to include four to six virtual and on-site meetings. These public and steering committee meetings will occur as part of a documented project schedule presented to the Planning Team. Our Team will take all the necessary steps to engage participants, educating them on the importance of the CWPP, and including interactive activities throughout the meetings.
Task 2: Wildfire Risk Assessment
The plan will include a local ground- truth assessment of communities and values at risk, key vulnerabilities, wildland-urban interface maps, and changes in development in wildfire prone areas and how the vulnerability of each jurisdiction has been affected. The most recent Ci ty Wildfire Protection Plan will serve as a starting point for this assessment. The plan will also include wildfire events that have occurred and any other appropriate changes in data and analysis since the last City CWPP was developed. The risk assessment will include the following information, at a minimum:
1. Updated information on the location, extent, and previous occurrences wildfires in City and subsequent trend analysis.
2. Based on best available data, describe wildfire fuel hazards throughout the City and how they impact future wildfire risk.
3. Fire behavior modeling to project and assess fire behaviors --- flame lengths, rate of spread, crown fire potential, and conditional burn probability using existing and expected fuel and weather conditions.
4. Based on the trend analysis, ground-truth assessment, and fire behavior modeling, describe in general wildfires’ impact on buildings, infrastructure, critical facilities, the vulnerable population, and lifelines, based upon FEMA’s Lifeline Assessment Toolkit. Lifeline analysis should include ingress/egress challenges during wildfire threats, evacuations, and response operations.
5. Define the wildland -urban interfaces (WUI), outlined on a map with an accompanying narrative.
6. Identify landowners adjacent to the WUIs by type (federal, state, private, etc.) or by agency.
7. Identify wildfire hazards on federal property within City , or any property outside of City that can be expected to impact City or private property within City due to high wildfire potential or the likelihood of spread to City, should a wildfire occur on these properties
8. Based on best available data, provide estimated potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures and infrastructure, describing the methodology used to prepare the estimate.
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
Task 3: Firefighting Resources and Capacity
ISC will conduct a comprehensive assessment of firefighting resources and capacities as a core component of the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) development, ensuring alignment with the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) of 2003 and guidance from the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG). This process begins with collaborative stakeholder engagement, including local fire departments, state forestry agencies, and federal partners, to inventory existing resources such as personnel, equipment (e.g., engines, dozers, and aerial assets), water supplies, and communication systems. Utilizing GIS mapping and wildfire risk modeling tools like FlamMap, ISC will evaluate these capacities against identified wildfire hazards in the wildland - urban interface (WUI), analyzing factors like response times, terrain challenges, and historical fire behavior to pinpoint vulnerabilities. This data -driven approach will incorporate firefighting best practices, such as assessing ingress/egress routes for safe operat ions and mutual aid agreements, to develop prioritized recommendations that enhance suppression effectiveness and community safety.
Building on this assessment, ISC will integrate findings into the CWPP's mitigation strategies, recommending targeted enhancements like training programs for volunteer firefighters, infrastructure upgrades for hydrants and access roads, and prepositioning of resources in high-risk zones. By employing scenario -based simulations and cost -benefit analyses, we will identify capacity gaps —such as insufficient specialized equipment for steep terrain or limited night operations—and propose actionable solutions that leverage federal grants from programs like the U.S. Forest Service's Hazardous Fuels Reduction. The result is a resilient framework that not only meets HFRA requirements for risk reduction and structural ignitability but also empowers firefighting entities with improved preparedness, fostering coordinated responses that minimize wildfire impacts and protect lives, property, and ecosystems in wildfire-prone areas.
Task 4: Develop a Mitigation and Resilience Strategy
Identifying and prioritizing the wildfire mitigation and resiliency strategy are the fundamental components of an CWPP. In the previous tasks, ISC redefined hazards, reassessed vulnerabilities, and the losses were estimated. Our Team will craft a prioritized list of mitigation actions that will reduce future risks and losses. This task will allow ISC to identify goals and objectives; identify and reevaluate mitigation actions, and develop the capabilities assessment, and identify mitigation strategies.
This effort will also include a progress update on the actions taken since the last CWPP update, regardless of inclusion in the previous CWPP or funding source. This progress update will provide context and ideas for new projects and potential funding sources.
The ISC Team will develop a mitigation strategy that reflects the results of the risk assessment and includes:
1. Describe wildfire response and mitigation capabilities, including: staffing, facilities, equipment, water supply, access for responding resources, and other available resources.
Specific mitigation actions and projects to reduce the impacts identified in the risk assessment, with an emphasis on values at risk for each jurisdiction.
2. A description of methods to reduce structural ignitability that includes recommendations for local building and development codes and land use plans.
Agenda Packet - June 1, 2026
3. A description, with mapping and narrative/table, of identified fuels treatment projects, to include the types of recommended treatments and suggested or preferred methods of treatment.
4. A description of other safety factors that will increase safety and resilience to wildfire for communities, such as (but not limited to): redundant evacuation routes, first responder access, fire breaks, clear address markings, access to water, public alert and warning, etc.
5. A description of how the jurisdictions will prioritize and implement the mitigation actions.
The implementation strategy identifies how the City’s
proposes to achieve its mitigation goals and
objectives. The wildfire mitigation and resilience implementation strategy will redefine, identify, and confirm mitigation actions, partners, resources, and schedules. The implementation strategy will also cover potential funding sources. The sources will be described and include a website link for further information.
ISC will prepare a draft the Wildfire Mitigation and Resilience Implementation Strategy for review by the Planning Team. Once reviewed, ISC will incorporate changes to the newly created implementation strategy and align it with the CWPP.
Task 5: Develop CWPP and Products
The project team will prepare a draft of the City of La Verne ’s CWPP that will document the wildfire protection planning process and address the minimum requirements outlined in the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) of 2003, including collaboration among stakeholders, identification and prioritization of hazardous fuel reduction areas, and recommendations for reducing structural ignitability. This will align with guidance from resources such as "Preparing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan: A Handbook for Wildland- Urban Interface Communities" (2004) and relevant state or local wildfire planning directives.
ISC will assemble information, comments, and reports from the previous tasks. Informational databases, graphics, and maps will also be included in the final plan to visualize the geographic, functional, or systematic relationships between wildfire risk assessments, fuel reduction priorities, and selected mitigation activities.
To meet HFRA requirements, the document will include a description of the planning process; a definition of the planning area (including the wildland- urban interface or WUI) identifying who was involved in the process, how they were involved, and methods of public participation that were employed; and a detailed description of the decision- making and prioritization process for fuel treatments and community preparedness measures.
ISC will distribute the copies to the Planning Team for review. A public review draft will also be released for public comment before the CWPP is finalized, ensuring mutual agreement by the required entities: the applicable local government, local fire department(s), and the state entity responsible for forest management.
The Planning Team will meet to review the CWPP draft. ISC will incorporate all the Committee’s final revisions and will submit the plan to the Client officials within two weeks after the receipt of final review comments (we can provide printed, electronic, or both formats).

Under FEMA PA TAC II, ISC mobilized technical recovery experts to support the response and recovery of the Harris and Witch Creek Wildfires. In 2007, our team worked with San Diego and the surrounding counties and their respective municipalities to conduct damage assessments, identify eligible work under the Stafford Act, and ensure compliance with Federal regulations to include environmental. In total, the team identified over $139 million in FEMA Public Assistance funding, to include almost $130 million i n Category A (debris removal) and B (emergency protective measures) eligible work.
Ten years later, ISC was honored to conduct a wildfire community resiliency study on behalf of San Diego County OES of County residents to understand their evacuation, risk management, and preparedness behaviors for future wildfires and other disasters.
The survey was designed to solicit information concerning their familiarization with a current emergency alert, warning, and notification technology, planned and unplanned behaviors to evacuation orders, the level of and importance attached to disaster plann ing, attitudes about future disasters, and the level of their personal preparedness.
The methodology used resulted in the distribution of 60,000 surveys and generated results that ensured a 95% confidence level and less than a 3% margin of error. The results were shared with the public through various press conferences during the 2017 wildfire season.
The main goals of the study were to determine how county residents and private partners find information before, during, and after emergencies and to understand evacuation tendencies and needs of resident’s businesses. Questions were also included to gauge preparedness measures and risk perception in the County. The survey was translated into three languages and distributed in various formats to over 2,500 participants.

Integrated Solutions Consulting (ISC) is proud to lead the development of Franklin County's 2024 Multi - Jurisdictional All-Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP), ensuring compliance with federal requirements under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and 4 4 CFR Part 201.6, as well as Washington State guidelines through the Washington Emergency Management Division (WA EMD). This comprehensive plan addresses natural hazards such as drought, earthquakes, floods, severe weather, wildfires, and landslides, along side technological hazards like structural fires, incorporating a thorough risk assessment, vulnerability analysis, and mitigation strategies. Engaging five primary jurisdictions —Franklin County and the cities of Pasco, Connell, Mess, and Kahlous —along with stakeholders from emergency services, public works, and community organizations, the plan identifies 25 prioritized mitigation actions, including infrastructure hardening, public education campaigns, and land- use planning updates.
These actions aim to reduce potential losses, with estimated annual benefits exceeding $5 million in avoided damage based on historical data from NOAA and USGS, while emphasizing equitable outcomes for underserved populations through tools like the Climate & Economic Justice Screening Tool.
In parallel, ISC is crafting Franklin County's Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) to meet federal mandates under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) of 2003 and guidelines from the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, complemented by Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WA DNR) standards for wildfire risk reduction. The CWPP focuses on wildfire -specific threats in the county's shrub- steppe landscapes and urban-wildland interfaces, prioritizing fuel treatments, defensible space creation, and community preparedness.
Collaborating with the same two jurisdictions and additional partners like fire districts and the National Weather Service, the plan outlines 15 targeted actions, such as prescribed burns and evacuation route enhancements, projected to protect over 96,000 residents and critical infrastructure valued at $308 million in owner -occupied housing. By integrating the HMP and CWPP, ISC ensures a cohesive approach that leverages shared data, stakeholder input, and funding opportunities like FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs, fostering resilient communities against escalating wildfire risks amid climate change.

The Regional Disaster Preparedness Organization (RDPO) partnered with ISC on a four -phase Regional Wildland Fire Project to enhance understanding of and ability to respond effectively to wildland fire risk in the Region. The RDPO encompasses Clackamas, Columbia, Multnomah, and Washington counties in Oregon, and Clark County in Washington, as well as dozens of municipalities and special districts within those counties. ISC is currently working with the RDPO on Phase One and Two. Phase One of the Regional Wildland Fire Project includes the identification of defined risk areas and their risk profiles. Subsequent phases will work to identify gaps in regional training, policies, and capabilities to respond to wildfire events, as well as strategies to improve wildfire incident management plans and offer specialized training for large-scale wildfire incidents.
ISC developed a risk assessment and report, which providing summary of the findings from Phase One. Through the study, our team developed methodology to identify and establish Defined Risk Areas (DRA) which are the distinct, location-specific mapping units to be assessed for wildfire risk. A DRA is an aggregation of structures in contact with wildland vegetation types that could be considered Wildland/Urban Intermix or Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI). These DRAs are smaller, pinpointed geographic areas in th e region and may or may not lie within defined WUI areas.
To assess risk within the DRAs, the Project Team constructed a rubric to assess various risk parameters and compile an overall risk score for each DRA. The final rubric tool includes 33 risk parameters grouped into four categories:
Human Life, Health, and Safety; Wildfire Environmental Influences; Intrinsic Values at Risk; and Emergency Wildfire Response Conditions. Trained forestry professionals served as interpreters to use the rubric tool to assess the 33 risk parameters to reach an overall score. This process was completed, using the identical rubric structure and contents, for 728 mapped DRAs.
To adequately analyze social vulnerability within the DRAs, the Project Team partnered with the Metro Social Vulnerability Tools (SVT) Project. The SVT Project identifies which communities in the Region experience barriers to emergency services and program s before, during, and after disasters. The SVT, an online mapping tool, uses 25 indicators to model general social vulnerability by census tract. The Project Team integrated the RSVI with the Relative Wildfire Risk data.
The final maps illustrating Relative Wildfire Risk for the region, within each county, and for each individual fire district were developed in ArcGIS and provided to RDPO as a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) geodatabase.
The geodatabase includes the boundaries (polygons) of each DRA, its assigned rubric risk score, and the associated Regional Social Vulnerability Index (RSVI) score.
