19. MITIGATION ACTION PLAN

19.1 STATUS OF PREVIOUS PLAN ACTIONS

19.1.1 Mitigation Actions
The 2017 City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan identified 217 mitigation actions for implementation. These actions were reviewed for the current update, and for each action it was determined whether the action had been completed, was in progress or had not been started.

Incomplete actions were reviewed to determine if they should be carried over to the 2022 update or removed due to changes in priorities, capabilities, or feasibility.

Appendix D lists the status of all 217 actions from the 2017 plan. Of the identified actions, 181 (83 percent) have been started or completed, 10 (5 percent) are carried over to the 2022 update, and 26 (12 percent) have been withdrawn. The reasons for withdrawal of actions ranged from the action no longer being considered feasible to the action being identified in the 2022 planning process as an ongoing core capability.

19.1.2 Plan Incorporation Actions
As a demonstration of progress in local hazard mitigation efforts, 44 CFR 201.6(c)(4)(ii) requires plan updates to describe completed steps to incorporate the mitigation plan into other planning mechanisms as appropriate. The maintenance strategy for the 2017 City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan called for incorporation into other planning mechanisms. Of the 217 mitigation actions in the 2017 plan, two actions relate to incorporation of the mitigation plan into other planning mechanisms. These actions called for integration in the City’s General Plan and the City’s Emergency Operations Plan. Both of these are ongoing actions.

19.2 ACTION PLAN
The Steering Committee reviewed the collections of hazard mitigation alternatives and selected 44 actions to be included in the hazard mitigation action plan. The selection of actions was based on the risk assessment of identified hazards of concern and the defined hazard mitigation goals and objectives. Table 19-1 lists the recommended hazard mitigation actions that make up the action plan.

19.3 ACTION PLAN PRIORITIZATION
The actions recommended in the action plan were prioritized based on the following factors:
• Cost and availability of funding
• Benefit, based on likely risk reduction to be achieved • Number of plan objectives achieved
City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Mitigation Action Plan 19-7
• Timeframe for project implementation
• Eligibility for grant funding programs
Two priorities were assigned for each action:
• A high, medium, or low priority for implementing the action • A high, medium, or low priority for pursuing grant funding for the action The sections below describe the analysis of benefits and costs and the assignment of the two priority ratings.

19.3.1 Benefit/Cost Review
The action plan must be prioritized according to a benefit/cost analysis of the proposed actions (44 CFR, Section 201.6(c)(3)(iii)). For this hazard mitigation plan, a qualitative benefit-cost review was performed for each action by assigning ratings for benefit and cost as follows:
• Cost:
 High—Existing funding will not cover the cost of the action; implementation would require new revenue through an alternative source (for example, bonds, grants, and fee increases).  Medium—The action could be implemented with existing funding but would require a re- apportionment of the budget or a budget amendment, or the cost of the action would have to be spread over multiple years.
 Low—The action could be funded under the existing budget. The action is part of or can be part of an ongoing existing program.
• Benefit:
 High—Action will provide an immediate reduction of risk exposure for life and property.  Medium—Action will have a long-term impact on the reduction of risk exposure for life and property, or action will provide an immediate reduction in the risk exposure for property.  Low—Long-term benefits of the action are difficult to quantify in the short term.

To assign priorities, each action with a benefit rating equal to or higher than its cost rating (such as high benefit/medium cost, medium benefit/medium cost, medium benefit/low cost, etc.) was considered to be cost-beneficial. This is not the detailed level of benefit/cost analysis required for some FEMA hazard- related grant programs. Such analysis would be performed at the time a given action is being submitted for grant funding.

19.3.2 Implementation Priority
The priority for implementing each action was assigned based on the following definitions:
• High Priority—An action that meets multiple objectives, has benefits that exceed costs, and has a secured source of funding. Action can be completed in the short term (1 to 5 years). • Medium Priority—An action that meets multiple objectives, has benefits that exceed costs, and is eligible for funding though no funding has yet been secured for it. Action can be completed in the short term (1 to 5 years) once funding is secured. Medium-priority actions become high- priority actions once funding is secured.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Mitigation Action Plan 19-8
• Low Priority—An action that will mitigate the risk of a hazard, has benefits that do not exceed the costs or are difficult to quantify, has no secured source of funding, and is not eligible for any known grant funding. Action can be completed in the long term (1 to 10 years). Low-priority actions are generally “wish-list” actions. They may be eligible for grant funding from programs that have not yet been identified.

19.3.3 Grant Pursuit Priority
The priority for pursuing grant funding for each action was assigned based on the following definitions:
• High Priority—An action that meets identified grant eligibility requirements, has high benefits, and is listed as high or medium implementation priority; local funding options are unavailable or available local funds could be used instead for actions that are not eligible for grant funding. • Medium Priority—An action that meets identified grant eligibility requirements, has medium or low benefits, and is listed as medium or low implementation priority; local funding options are unavailable.
• Low Priority—An action that has not been identified as meeting any grant eligibility requirements.

19.4 CLASSIFICATION OF ACTIONS
Each recommended action was classified based on the hazard it addresses and the type of mitigation it involves. Mitigation types used for this classification are as follows:
• Prevention—Government, administrative or regulatory actions that influence the way land and buildings are developed to reduce hazard losses. Includes planning and zoning, floodplain laws, capital improvement programs, open space preservation, and stormwater management regulations.
• Property Protection—Modification of buildings or structures to protect them from a hazard or removal of structures from a hazard area. Includes acquisition, elevation, relocation, structural retrofit, storm shutters, and shatter-resistant glass.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Mitigation Action Plan 19-10
• Public Education and Awareness—Actions to inform residents and elected officials about hazards and ways to mitigate them. Includes outreach projects, real estate disclosure, hazard information centers, and school-age and adult education. • Natural Resource Protection—Actions that minimize hazard loss and preserve or restore the functions of natural systems. Includes sediment and erosion control, stream corridor restoration, watershed management, forest and vegetation management, wetland restoration and preservation, and green infrastructure.
• Emergency Services—Actions that protect people and property during and immediately after a hazard event. Includes warning systems, emergency response services, and the protection of essential facilities.
• Structural Projects—Actions that involve the construction of structures to reduce the impact of a hazard. Includes dams, setback levees, floodwalls, retaining walls, and safe rooms. • Climate Resilience—Actions that incorporate methods to mitigate and/or adapt to the impacts of climate change. Includes aquifer storage and recovery activities, incorporating future conditions projections in project design or planning, or actions that specifically address jurisdiction-specific climate change risks, such as sea level rise or urban heat island effect. • Community Capacity Building—Actions that increase or enhance local capabilities to adjust to potential damage, to take advantage of opportunities, or to respond to consequences. Includes staff training, memorandums of understanding, development of plans and studies, and monitoring programs.

20. PLAN ADOPTION, IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE

20.1 PLAN ADOPTION
A hazard mitigation plan must document that it has been formally adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction requesting federal approval of the plan (44 CFR Section 201.6(c)(5)). DMA compliance and its benefits cannot be achieved until the plan is adopted. This plan was submitted for a pre-adoption review to Cal OES and FEMA prior to adoption. Once pre-adoption approval was provided, the City of Long Beach formally adopted the plan. A copy of the resolution is provided in Appendix E.

20.2 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The effectiveness of the hazard mitigation plan depends on its implementation and the incorporation of its action items into existing local plans, policies, and programs. Together, the action items in the plan provide a framework for activities that the City of Long Beach can implement over the next five years.

The planning team and the Steering Committee have established goals and objectives and have prioritized mitigation actions that will be implemented through existing plans, policies, and programs.

The City of Long Beach Department of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Communications will have lead responsibility for overseeing the plan implementation and maintenance strategy. Plan implementation and evaluation will be a shared responsibility among all agencies identified as lead agencies in the mitigation action plan.

20.3 PLAN MAINTENANCE
Plan maintenance is the formal process for achieving the following:
• Ensuring that the hazard mitigation plan remains an active and relevant document and that the City maintains its eligibility for applicable funding sources • Monitoring and evaluating the plan annually and producing an updated plan every five years • Integrating public participation throughout the plan maintenance and implementation process • Incorporating the mitigation strategies outlined in this plan into existing planning mechanisms and programs, such as any relevant comprehensive land-use planning process, capital improvement planning process, and building code enforcement and implementation To achieve these ends, a hazard mitigation plan must present a plan maintenance process that includes the following (44 CFR Section 201.6(c)(4)):

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance 20-2
• A method and schedule for monitoring, evaluating, and updating the mitigation plan within a 5- year cycle
• An approach for how the community will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process
• A process by which local governments will incorporate the requirements of the mitigation plan into other planning mechanisms, such as comprehensive or capital improvement plans, when appropriate
Table 20-1 summarizes the plan maintenance strategy. The sections below further describe each element.

20.3.1 Integration with Other Planning Mechanisms
It is the intent of the City of Long Beach to fully integrate the hazard mitigation plan into existing plans and programs, such as comprehensive land-use planning processes, capital improvement planning, and building enforcement implementation. The hazard mitigation plan’s format allows sections to be City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance 20-3
reviewed and updated as new data becomes available, resulting in a plan that remains current and relevant.

The City of Long Beach, through adoption of a General Plan and zoning ordinance, has planned for the impact of natural hazards. The process of updating this hazard mitigation plan provided the opportunity to review and expand on policies in these planning mechanisms. The information on hazard, risk, vulnerability, and mitigation contained in this hazard mitigation plan is based on the best science and technology available at the time this plan was prepared. The General Plan and the hazard mitigation plan are complementary documents that work together to achieve the goal of reducing risk exposure.

The General Plan is an integral part of this plan. An update to the General Plan may trigger an update to the hazard mitigation plan.

The City of Long Beach will create a linkage between the hazard mitigation plan and the General Plan by identifying a mitigation action as such and giving that action a high priority. Other planning processes and programs to be coordinated with the recommendations of the hazard mitigation plan include the following:
• City of Long Beach General Plan
• Climate action/Adaptation plans
• Resilience plans
• Recovery plan
• Emergency response plans
• Capital improvement programs
• Municipal codes
• Community design guidelines
• Water-efficient landscape design guidelines
• Stormwater management programs
• Water system vulnerability assessments
• Master fire protection plans
Some action items do not need to be implemented through regulation. Instead, these items can be implemented through the creation of new educational programs, continued interagency coordination, or improved public participation. As information becomes available from other planning mechanisms that can enhance this plan, that information will be integrated via the update process.

20.3.2 Plan Monitoring
The City of Long Beach Department of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Communications will be the lead agency responsible for monitoring the plan by tracking the status of all recommended mitigation actions in the action plan.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance 20-4

20.3.3 Plan Evaluation
The plan will be evaluated by how successfully the implementation of identified actions has helped to achieve the goals and objectives identified of the plan. This will be assessed by a review of the changes in risk that occur over the performance period and by the degree to which mitigation goals and objectives are incorporated into existing plans, policies and programs. Plan evaluation will be the responsibility of the City of Long Beach Department of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Communications . The Long Beach Mayor and City Council may recommend changes to the hazard mitigation plan based on evaluation findings.

20.3.4 Midterm Progress Report
Completion of a midterm progress report would be an effective tool to position the City for future updates. This report will provide the City with a streamlined approach for fulfilling update requirements delineated in 44 CFR 201.6(d)(3) during the next plan update initiative. Any trigger of a comprehensive update to the City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan as described in Section 20.3.6 will require completion of a performance period progress report.

The objective of the progress report will be to evaluate the progress of individual actions at the midterm of the performance period of this plan. The progress report will be completed two and a half years from the date of plan approval by FEMA, or upon initiation of an accelerated plan update as described under Section 20.3.6, whichever occurs first. The review will include the following:
• Summary of any hazard events that occurred during the performance period and the impact these events had on the planning area
• Review of mitigation success stories
• Review of continuing public involvement
• Brief discussion about why targeted strategies were not completed • Reevaluation of the action plan to determine if the timeline for identified projects needs to be amended (such as changing a long-term project to a short-term one because of new funding) • Recommendations for new projects
• Changes in or potential for new funding options (grant opportunities) • Impact of any other planning programs or initiatives that involve hazard mitigation The City has created a template to guide its departments in preparing a progress report (see Appendix F). This report will be used as follows:
• Posted on a website dedicated to the hazard mitigation plan • Provided to the local media through a press release
• Presented to City Council to inform council members of the progress of actions implemented during the reporting period
Progress reporting is not a requirement specified under 44 CFR. However, it may enhance the City’s opportunities for funding. While failure to implement this component of the plan maintenance strategy City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance 20-5
will not jeopardize the City’s compliance under the DMA, it may jeopardize its opportunity to partner and leverage funding opportunities with other stakeholders within the planning area.

20.3.5 Grant Monitoring and Evaluation
The City of Long Beach Department of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Communications will identify grant funding opportunities. Once these opportunities are identified, City agency stakeholders will convene in a short meeting to review the hazard mitigation plan and pursue a strategy to capture that grant funding. The Department of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Communications will assume lead responsibility for planning and facilitating grant opportunity meetings. Review of the hazard mitigation plan at these meetings can include the following:
• Discussion of any hazard events that occurred during the prior year and their impact on the planning area
• Impact of potential grant opportunities on the implementation of mitigation actions • Re-evaluation of the action plans to determine if the timeline for identified actions needs to be amended (such as changing a long-term action to a short-term action because of funding availability)
• Recommendations for new actions
• Impact of any other planning programs or initiatives that involve hazard mitigation

20.3.6 Plan Update
FEMA requires the hazard mitigation plan to be revised and resubmitted for review and approval by Cal OES and FEMA prior to the five-year anniversary date of the plan’s adoption in order to remain eligible for benefits under the DMA (44 CFR, Section 201.6(d)(3)). To meet this timeline, the Department of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Communications will implement the Steering Committee’s plan revision process at least one year prior to the anniversary date of the adoption. This cycle may be accelerated to less than five years based on the following triggers:
• A federal disaster declaration that impacts the City of Long Beach • A hazard event that causes loss of life
• A comprehensive update of the City of Long Beach general plan The hazard mitigation plan five-year revision will, at a minimum, include the following elements:
• The revision process will be convened through a new steering committee • The hazard risk assessment will be reviewed and, if necessary, revised using best available information and technologies
• The action plan will be reviewed for any actions completed, ongoing, or withdrawn, and will be reconciled to account for changes in the risk assessment or new policies identified under other plans (such as the general plan)
• The draft plan revision will be sent to appropriate departments and divisions for comment • The public will be given an opportunity to comment on the revised plan prior to adoption City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Plan Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance 20-6
• The Long Beach City Council will adopt the updated plan once the reviews by Cal OES and FEMA have been conducted

20.3.7 Continuing Public Involvement
The public will continue to be apprised of the plan’s progress through a City website and by providing copies of biennial progress reports on the City website and through posting them in locations throughout the City for the public to review. The website will house the final plan and provide information regarding the plan, plan implementation, and the beginning of the revision process. Copies of the plan will be distributed to local libraries. Upon initiation of future update processes, a new public involvement strategy will be initiated based on guidance from a new steering committee. This strategy will be based on the needs and capabilities of the City of Long Beach at the time of the update. At a minimum, this strategy will include the use of local media outlets within the planning area.

City of Long Beach LHMP Steering Committee Kickoff Meeting

Date/Time of Meeting: Thursday, August 12, 2021, 2:03 PM (Start Time) Location: Digital
Subject: Steering Committee Kickoff Meeting
Project Name: City of Long Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update In Attendance

City of Long Beach: Francisco Soto, Rebecca Lopez, Reginald Harrison, Evan Zeisel, Belinda Ramirez, Allyson Joy, Gabriela Hurtado, Larissa Lomen, Alison Spindler-Ruiz, Joel Aguillar, Mark Berne, Vincent Rodriguez, Brian McPhail, Steve Choi, David Khorram, Brian LeSoto, Brian Lam, James Farley, Jennifer Ly, Karl Zittel
Tetra Tech: Rob Flaner, Bart Spencer, Jeana Gomez, Carol Baumann, Des Alexander
Not Present: N/A
Summary Prepared by: Des Alexander
Quorum – Yes or No N/A

Welcome and Introductions
• Reginald Harrison thanked everyone for their participation in the LHMP process. He spoke about the importance of updating the LHMP regularly and on-schedule – given the expenses associated with natural disasters, it is a high priority that the City remains eligible for relevant grant funding by having an updated LHMP.
• Both Long Beach Steering Committee members and Tetra Tech staff introduced themselves to one another.

Project Overview
• Rob Flaner went over the steps of the LHMP process. He introduced the 5 phases of emergency management, defining mitigation and how it is applied to long-term risk to life and property. He discussed the Disaster Mitigation Act and how it affects access to mitigation funds (no plan, no money).
o $5.7 billion in funding this year for mitigation actions. o The plan must meet all DMA provisions, so following the process will be crucial. Cal OES and FEMA are very process-oriented, so following the process will assist in getting the plan approved.
o Benefits of HMPs include collaboration, eligibility for grant funds, increased understanding of risks/vulnerabilities, reducing negative impacts, and encouraging sustainable actions.
• Rob introduced the 8 phases of the planning process and went over how Tetra Tech approaches each phase. The schedule projects a 12-month time frame, with a target date for submittal to CalOES/FEMA is in mid-April 2022. If the City has an approved plan by September 2022, the City would be eligible for that year’s BRIC funding cycle.
o The City is eligible this year, but since the plan is to expire in March 2022, FEMA would withhold any funds earned until the plan was approved.

City of Long Beach LHMP Steering Committee Kickoff Meeting

o The plan would be submitted pre-adoption and would be returned Approved Pending Adoption; the City Council would need to approve the plan and submit the resolution to FEMA.
 If any substantive changes occurred, there would need to be another public comment period and another submittal.
o The LHMP process would add value to the City through following CRS script (could improve CRS score); training on doing a Benefit Cost Analysis; and access to Tetra Tech’s BATool for plan maintenance.

Committees
• Rob introduced the ground rules of the steering committee. Public access will be provided to some aspects of this process, so the process needs to be organized around a firm set of rules and standards (quorum, leadership, attendance, public comment protocol, standard meeting dates/times, etc).
• Francisco Soto stated that there are 17 confirmed steering committee members. • Quorum is typically 50% + 1, but there are no strict FEMA requirements. • Francisco Lopez agreed to be the Chair and Rebecca Lopez will be the Vice Chair. • Alternates are permitted to attend and are given full voting rights. • Tetra Tech will provide sample agendas to City for them to choose which meetings will be open vs. closed. Francisco Soto will provide City’s public comment protocol to Tetra Tech. The charter will be written as the Chair as the designated spokesperson for the plan. • Meetings will take place on the 2
nd Thursday of the month from 2 – 4 PM.
• Tetra Tech will provide a charter to the City to be posted on the LHMP website.

Plan Review
• Homework for SC: Review 2017 City of Long Beach LHMP (likes/dislikes, changes to address) and the 2018 CA State HMP (goals, consistency with LBC plan, hazards of concern). • Des Alexander will send the links to both plans.
o These will be discussed at the next meeting.

Public Involvement Strategy
• The public outreach strategy was discussed. This will involve multiple media types and will be deployed in 2 phases – early in the process to gauge public perception of risk and at the end of the process to allow for comment on the Draft Plan.
• Media mediums to be used include press releases, a website, social media, a survey, public meetings, an ESRI Story Map, and some open SC meetings. • The strategy will be led by Jeana Gomez and she will coordinate those efforts moving forward. • Update process will become the basis for the continuing public involvement requirement of the plan maintenance strategy.

Action Items and Next Steps
• CPT will provide a data wish-list request to the City. • SC will confirm the Hazards of Concern for the plan, set the goals/objectives and confirm the definition for Critical Facilities/Infrastructure at the next meeting. • Rob Flaner asked about getting information from Port of LB and need for an NDA. o Joel Aguilar says they have a standard nondisclosure agreement that he will provide.

City of Long Beach LHMP Steering Committee Kickoff Meeting

Final Questions/Comments
• Joel Aguilar asked about liquefaction analysis and stated that they have their own data for assessing core facilities.
• Jennifer Ly stated that the City performed analysis as part of their CAP process and the updated General Plan, and the current Safety Element update will be good sources of data. City also recently updated their Land Use Element, and the Housing Element is on track to be adopted by the end of the year. Information from the Noise Element may also be used. There is a social vulnerability layer (Cool Cities LA, Cal EnviroScreen) to the CAP that can also be provided. • Joel Aguilar asked about avenues for providing data to Tetra Tech. Carol Baumann said she can set up a OneDrive folder and provide access to City officials.

Quorum – Yes or No Yes

Welcome and Introductions
• Francisco Lopez completed the roll call and quorum was achieved • Rob Flaner reintroduced himself for those who were not on the 1st call. He explained that Bart Spencer will lead calls in the future, and reintroduced other members of the Tetra Tech team. • There were no revisions made to the minutes from the previous meeting. A motion to approve the minutes was made by Gabriela Hurtado and seconded by Francisco Soto. • Rob explained the goals for the meeting – confirming the hazards of concern, completing goal/objective setting, and discussing the public outreach strategy.

Plan Review
• Current LB Plan
o There was a lot of discussion on perceived inadequacies in the public health section.

Gabriela Hurtado said that the health hazards were very barebones with no previous data, and that this needs to be improved given COVID pandemic. She said the City has data that can investigate impacts of public health emergencies within Long Beach, discussing public health actions in a mitigation context has been challenging. o Reggie Harrison also said city would be remiss to not address public health, and that a potential mitigation action could focus on public outreach to build trust in impacted areas
 Rob stated that prior to last year, FEMA did not fund public health disaster events. He said it is also difficult to compare these events to disasters like flood and earthquake that affect property and infrastructure. Exposure and analysis typically looks at physical environment; explained that public health is typically looked at as a “hazard of interest” in plans without a HAZUS analysis. o David Khorram did not see information regarding oil wells and potential for explosions in the event of earthquakes and other eruptions. The City just created a GIS data layer City of Long Beach LHMP Steering Committee Kickoff Meeting

for methane exposure that can be used in the analysis. Building collapse (like FL condo collapse) is also an issue due to old building stock and sea exposure. Funding to support a study of building vulnerability could be valuable.
 Rob stated that liquefaction will be assessed, oil wells could be added as a standalone hazard, building collapse would be challenging to assess given the current hazard assessment methodologies – if data is available, then hazard profile can be completed, need to do research
o Jennifer Ly stated that climate change needs to be bolstered in plan update and extreme heat is not discussed – major power outage in 2015 due to heat  Alison Spindler Ruiz discussed transportation infrastructure at risk due to extreme heat
• Rob explains that severe weather aggregates extreme heat, high wind, and other intense weather phenomenon
o Joel Aguilar stated that the tsunami section was not consistent with Port study. New data from CA geologic study can be used for tsunami assessment, but if there is better data through Port then that can be used.
 Palos Verdes fault should be discussed in LHMP, given port impacts • CA State HMP
o Alison Spindler-Ruiz stated that this plan had lots of health equity information that was missing from LB plan
o Climate adaptation efforts mentioned and could be good to mention in plan update, goals also align with City’s goals
• LA County Plan
o Question: Homelessness has been a problem for flood control districts; can this be listed as a hazard?
 Rob stated that homelessness can be listed as a vulnerability factor in hazard profiles
Hazards of Concern
• Rob explained to the committee that including non-natural hazards is not required by FEMA, but can be included to acknowledge other local plans in place to deal with them • The LHMP must discuss climate change due to state requirements o Sea Level Rise has been treated as a standalone hazard in the past, so it can be one for this plan.
• Planning area defined as the city limits
• Hazards of Concern for Long Beach LHMP
o Natural hazards – dam failure, drought, earthquake, flood, severe weather (extreme heat, high winds, thunderstorms, fog), tsunami, methane gas eruptions (oil wells), building collapse (age, discuss in earthquake), climate change o Human caused – terrorism, cyber, public health, hazardous materials (AES battery storage), pipelines (natural gas), transportation, civil unrest • A motion to approve the hazards of concern was made by Francisco Sosa, seconded by David Khorram. This was approved by the committee.

Goal Setting
• Tabled until next meeting
City of Long Beach LHMP Steering Committee Kickoff Meeting

Public Involvement Strategy
• Jeana and Francisco have been working together due to expedited process (March 2022 submittal)
• Jeana showed slide show about strategy – leveraging existing capacities of City, language translation (received from Francisco, starting with public survey), public input opportunities throughout the process, 2 phases of public involvement
• Media release will announce project and highlight website – Jeana will get that up and running with Francisco
o Public survey will be advertised through community partner events o StoryMap will be set up throughout plan process
• Phase 2 will take place during public comment period
o StoryMap, draft plan review, all risk data will be made available • Public survey in survey monkey
o 15 questions to assess risk perception
o Jeana will work with Francisco in development and expects to have draft to show at the next meeting
• StoryMap example from Oakland displayed, showed Hazard Mapper and other capabilities • Jennifer Ly explained that the planning department has done community outreach and can share strategies on engagement. She also added that speaking more about climate change piece can help in outreach process, highlighting images could also be helpful • Rob explained that continuing public outreach can be set up throughout this process, can be part of plan maintenance post update
• Vincent Rodriguez stated that his office will send data for analysis and StoryMap within the next two weeks
o Needs Esri account to log-in for StoryMap creation
Action Items and Next Steps

Welcome
• Roll call was taken by Des Alexander. Quorum was achieved. • Motion to approve meeting summary by Francisco Soto and seconded by David Khorram. No opposition was raised.
• Public engagement discussion was moved to beginning of the discussion due to a conflicting engagement
Planning Process
• Bart stated that Jeana Wiser had to step away from the process, so for now he and Rob will be covering the public engagement piece. Bart also welcomed new staff member Nate Stueve to the Tetra Tech team and LHMP process.
• Bart showed the sample goals and objectives to the committee. The goals are the “swimlanes” that form direction of the plan and objectives serve as measures of success that prioritize action items. These will be sent to the committee, who will provide feedback and will discuss them at the next meeting. Bart requested that feedback be submitted within the next two weeks.
o Early discussion revolved around earthquake retrofits, climate change adaptation.

Hazard Analysis
• Carol showed the committee the draft matrix, which shows the hazards of concern, the types of analysis that will be done for each hazard, and the scenarios/data sources that City of Long Beach LHMP Steering Committee Kickoff Meeting

will be used for the analysis. The matrix will be updated throughout the process as more conversations occur.
• Tetra Tech is working to set up a meeting with the Port to discuss their work on earthquake analysis.
• A question was raised regarding the analysis included in the public health hazard – Bart stated that FEMA does not require public health be assessed (not a natural hazard), but they do encourage jurisdictions to look at all hazards. Rob stated that since public health cannot be assessed the way the natural hazards are, it will be included in the “hazards of concern” chapter. This chapter will be a qualitative look at the hazard. • The planning department is currently updating their safety element and questions emerged regarding evacuation routes for undeveloped areas and evacuation routes for several hazards. Rob stated that the LHMP is not responsible for dictating response or preparedness functions; evacuation routes are typically covered in EOPs, not mitigation plans. Core capability assessment and adaptive capacity assessment (for climate change) is part of the process, but it does not go into evacuation-related issues.

Public Engagement
• Multilingual survey has been developed on SurveyMonkey and will be submitted to the committee for comment (English, Spanish, Tagalog). The results of the survey will be used to prioritize action items for the city.
• Engagement with the City has begun on the creation of the StoryMap. This will include geospatial data that maps local hazards. This will be a “living” platform, designed to be updated continually.

Action Items and Next Steps
• Next meeting – November 11, 2021 from 2 – 4 PM
Final Questions/Comments
• Planning department asked about coordination between Oakland’s LHMP, and their safety element given Tetra Tech’s involvement. Bart stated that given the accelerated timeline, there was not alignment between the LHMP update and the safety element update.

Welcome
• Francisco Soto welcomed everyone to the call and completed the roll call. Quorum was achieved.
• After reviewing the summary from the 3rd steering committee meeting, no comments or corrections were made. A motion to approve the summary was made by James Farley and seconded by Rebecca Lopez. No objections were raised
.

Planning Process
• Bart Spencer provided an update on the status of the LHMP. Right now, Tetra Tech is doing a lot of behind the scenes work on the analyses and profiling, with many conversations occurring w
ith relevant departments.
• Bart Spencer presented the draft goals and objectives to the committee. During the goal d
iscussion, Jennifer Ly commented that climate adaptation and resiliency need to be listed.

Francisco said that the objective that covers both will be included under the “Create a Healthy and Equitable Environment” goal. He said that all other comments submitted by the committee were included in the new draft.
o A motion to accept the goals was made by Francisco Soto and seconded by Rebecca Lopez. No objections were raised.
• No comments were made on the objectives .
o A
motion to accept the objectives was made by Francisco Soto and seconded by Rebecca Lopez. No objections were raised.

Risk Assessment
• Carol Baumann updated the committee on her work with the hazard analysis. She said she had received many GIS data sources from Vincent Rodriguez, and that she met separately with the City of Long Beach LHMP Steering Committee Kickoff Meeting

Port of Long Beach to discuss their available data. The Port is currently pulling their critical facilities data to add to Tetra Tech’s structure inventory, which will be a key part of the assessment. Carol also stated that she will work with Francisco on hazard scenarios and hopes to show the scenarios list to the committee at the next meeting. • Vincent Rodriguez asked if there will be more data requests that he will need to field. o Carol thinks he is done on his end, but she will collaborate with County, other sources on any gaps. She will also coordinate with Francisco Soto on how to get any missing data from specific departments.
• Alison Spindler Ruiz asked about potential overlaps between the LHMP process and the safety element update’s compliance, specifically around SBC379 (climate adaptation/vulnerability), emergency routes, and residential development in hazard areas. The safety element not updated since 1975 but requirements must be put in place by end of 2021. o Regarding emergency routes, Rob stated that evacuation planning is not part of the LHMP process but is rather a preparedness or response function. However, data from the HMP can be used to determine evacuation routes. Francisco Soto stated that Long Beach Police Department has a separate plan for evacuation routes and that the City plan will be updated soon.

o Regarding SBC379, Rob stated that when Tetra Tech finishes the core capability assessment an adaptive capacity evaluation will be completed afterwards. Departments provide this ranking (High, Medium, or Low) and if something is ranked low, it should have an action in the plan that addresses it. This will be centric on sea level rise analysis, which will dial in on vulnerability. Rob will email Alison after the meeting on language that can be included to satisfy pending requirements.

Public Engagement
• Rob Flaner provided an update on the current public engagement efforts. As of 11/11 there were only 7 responses to the public survey. Francisco Soto stated that that is because the survey has not yet been released; it will be opened to the public early next week.

o Committee members should reach out to Francisco by end-of-week if they have changes to include
o Languages other than English: Spanish, Tagalog, Khmer • Rob Flaner also provided an update on the StoryMap. Tetra Tech is building a public-facing, interactive platform that will include a hazard mapper that allows the public to view how their homes intersect with different hazard areas; information on action items and the draft plan; and other information relevant to the plan. This platform is GIS-based on an Esri platform and will evolve as the plan evolves.

o Rob stated that Tetra Tech wants to debut content by the next meeting o Francisco will include links/images of the StoryMap with this meeting’s minutes in an email to the committee

o Next steps: Plan virtual public meeting to display content once StoryMap and surveys are complete.

Other Discussion Items
• Alison Spindler Ruiz informed the committee that Jennifer Ly is leaving the City of Long Beach, so Gina Casillas will be replacing her on the committee. Bart Spencer stated that Tetra Tech needs her email address for future communications and to maintain records. He stated that City of Long Beach LHMP Steering Committee Kickoff Meeting

FEMA & CalOES care a lot about the process of producing the LHMP, so it is important for the committee and Tetra Tech to maintain accurate records.
• Francisco Soto stated that he wants to present to the Board or Commission on the LHMP, so he wants committee members to reach out to him to discuss anything they want addressed. He is also currently working on consolidating/reconciling the action items (over 300) from the previous LHMP. This will require assistance from several departments, so he will be reaching out to committee members regarding this information.

Not Present: Richard Barrata, David Khorram, Sandy Wedgeworth, Brian Lam, Derek Law, Allyson Joy
Summary Prepared by: Des Alexander
Quorum – Yes or No Yes

Welcome
• Francisco Soto opened the meeting by taking roll call. Quorum was achieved. • Mr. Soto asked the committee to review and approve the previous meeting’s summary. After hearing no corrections or discussion, a motion to approve the meeting summary was brought by Mr. Soto and seconded by Rebecca Lopez. The summary was approved.

Planning Process
• Bart Spencer explained the process for putting together the plan, specifically internal review processes and communications. Mr. Spencer explained that Tetra Tech is working to have a draft to give the City soon, with the plan to have the plan completed by April. • Mr. Spencer stated that the committee should start to think of action items for the next five years of the LHMP. Action items can be as varied as plan updates, equipment purchases, changes to codes/standards, infrastructure improvements, etc. The goal is to phrase action items in a way to make them attractive for grant funding sources. • Mr. Spencer advised the committee to look at current City plans (i.e., capital improvement) to look for projects that have not yet been started. The committee should seek “low-hanging fruit” projects that can be completed within the five year life of the LHMP. • Rob Flaner also stated that any actions that the City of Long Beach wants to carry over from the previous LHMP can be prioritized first. Also, each hazard ranked as “high” needs to have at least one action item.

Risk Assessment
City of Long Beach LHMP Steering Committee Meeting #5

• Carol Baumann provided an update to the committee on the risk assessment. Ms. Baumann received sea level rise data from Mr. Soto and is in the process of creating point-location data for city structures.
• Ms. Baumann is also looking at replacement costs for structures exposed to hazards, based on structure usage and square footage. The City provided a population GIS layer that used council district boundaries and 2010 Census population. To determine growth rate, Ms. Baumann calculated the difference between the 2010 and 2020 Census population stats and then applied the rate to the district boundaries to update population numbers. After some discussion, Tetra Tech agreed to use zip code boundaries rather than council districts. • The building stock analysis will focus on critical facilities using the FEMA Lifelines Construct. • Following the Risk Assessment update, Nate Stueve previewed the StoryMap with the steering committee. The StoryMap is built on a Long Beach platform so that it can be continually updated throughout the life of the plan, using the best-available data to visualize hazard risk for Long Beach staff and the City’s residents.
• The StoryMap includes important definitions, as well as the LHMP’s overview, goals, objectives, and a copy of the public engagement survey.
• Mr. Stueve said that the StoryMap link is designed to work on desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. However, the map’s content is not able to be translated into another language without building a second platform. He also said that he can put together an instruction guide for the StoryMap, as well set the default map to only have a few layers turned on.

• Questions/Comments from the Steering Committee
o Alison Spindler Ruiz commented that the City has already calculated sea level rise replacement costs for a separate plan, so it will be helpful to see the Hazus analysis for consistency purposes.
o Reggie Harrison expressed concern about the language translation limitations of the story map. The City will have internal conversations about how translation of the software can be completed.
o Vincent Rodriguez agreed to send Tetra Tech a GIS layer of Long Beach’s zip codes.

Public Engagement
• Mr. Stueve walked through the survey questions with the committee. The committee advised that Question 1 be changed from regions to zip codes. All updates will be included and sent to the committee ASAP.

Appendix B. Summary of Federal and State
Agencies, Programs and Regulation

B-1
B. SUMMARY OF FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES,

PROGRAMS AND REGULATION
Existing laws, ordinances, plans and programs at the federal and state level can support or impact hazard mitigation actions identified in this plan. Hazard mitigation plans are required to include a review and incorporation, if appropriate, of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information as part of the planning process (44 CFR, Section 201.6(b)(3)). The following federal and state programs have been identified as programs that may interface with the actions identified in this plan. Each program enhances capabilities to implement mitigation actions or has a nexus with a mitigation action in this plan. Information presented in this section can be used to review local capabilities to implement the actions found in the action plan presented in Chapter 19.

FEDERAL
Americans with Disabilities Act
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) seeks to prevent discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, transportation, public accommodation, communications, and government activities. Title II of the ADA deals with compliance with the Act in emergency management and disaster-related programs, services, and activities. It applies to state and local governments as well as third parties, including religious entities and private nonprofit organizations.

The ADA has implications for sheltering requirements and public notifications. During an emergency alert, officials must use a combination of warning methods to ensure that all residents have all necessary information. Those with hearing impairments may not hear radio, television, sirens, or other audible alerts, while those with visual impairments may not see flashing lights or other visual alerts.

Two technical documents for shelter operators address physical accessibility needs of people with disabilities, as well as medical needs and service animals.

The ADA intersects with disaster preparedness programs in regards to transportation, social services, temporary housing, and rebuilding. Persons with disabilities may require additional assistance in evacuation and transit (e.g., vehicles with wheelchair lifts or paratransit buses). Evacuation and other response plans should address the unique needs of residents. Local governments may be interested in implementing a special-needs registry to identify the home addresses, contact information, and needs for residents who may require more assistance.

FEMA hazard mitigation project grant applications require full compliance with applicable federal acts.

Any action identified in this plan that falls within the scope of this act will need to meet its requirements.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-2
Civil Rights Act of 1964
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or nation origin and requires equal access to public places and employment. The Act is relevant to emergency management and hazard mitigation in that it prohibits local governments from favoring the needs of one population group over another. Local government and emergency response must ensure the continued safety and well-being of all residents equally, to the extent possible. FEMA hazard mitigation project grant applications require full compliance with applicable federal acts. Any action identified in this plan that falls within the scope of this act will need to meet its requirements.

Clean Water Act
The federal Clean Water Act (CWA) employs regulatory and non-regulatory tools to reduce direct pollutant discharges into waterways, finance municipal wastewater treatment facilities, and manage polluted runoff. These tools are employed to achieve the broader goal of restoring and maintaining the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation’s surface waters so that they can support “the protection and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water.” Evolution of CWA programs over the last decade has included a shift from a program-by-program, source-by-source, and pollutant-by-pollutant approach to more holistic watershed-based strategies.

Under the watershed approach, equal emphasis is placed on protecting healthy waters and restoring impaired ones. Numerous issues are addressed, not just those subject to CWA regulatory authority.

Involvement of stakeholder groups in the development and implementation of strategies for achieving and maintaining water quality and other environmental goals is a hallmark of this approach.

The CWA is important to hazard mitigation in several ways. There are often permitting requirements for any construction within 200 feet of water of the United States, which may have implications for mitigation projects identified by a local jurisdiction. Additionally, CWA requirements apply to wetlands, which serve important functions related to preserving and protecting the natural and beneficial functions of floodplains and are linked with a community’s floodplain management program. Finally, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System is part of the CWA and addresses local stormwater management programs. Stormwater management plays a critical role in hazard mitigation by addressing urban drainage or localized flooding issues within jurisdictions.

FEMA hazard mitigation project grant applications require full compliance with applicable federal acts.

Any action identified in this plan that falls within the scope of this act will need to meet its requirements.

Community Development Block Grant Disaster Resilience Program In response to disasters, Congress may appropriate additional funding for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant programs to be distributed as Disaster Recovery grants (CDBG-DR). These grants can be used to rebuild affected areas and provide seed money to start the recovery process. CDBG-DR assistance may fund a broad range of recovery activities, helping communities and neighborhoods that otherwise might not recover due to limited resources. CDBG-DR grants often supplement disaster programs of FEMA, the Small Business Administration, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Housing and Urban Development generally awards noncompetitive, nonrecurring CDBG-DR grants by a formula that considers disaster recovery City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-3
needs unmet by other federal disaster assistance programs. To be eligible for CDBG-DR funds, projects must meet the following criteria:
• Address a disaster-related impact (direct or indirect) in a presidentially declared county for the covered disaster
• Be a CDBG-eligible activity (according to regulations and waivers) • Meet a national objective.

Incorporating preparedness and mitigation into these actions is encouraged, as the goal is to rebuild in ways that are safer and stronger. CDBG-DR funding is a potential alternative source of funding for actions identified in this plan.

Community Rating System
The CRS is a voluntary program within the NFIP that encourages floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. Flood insurance premiums are discounted to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from community actions meeting the following three goals of the CRS:
• Reduce flood losses.
• Facilitate accurate insurance rating.
• Promote awareness of flood insurance.

For participating communities, flood insurance premium rates are discounted in increments of 5 percent. For example, a Class 1 community would receive a 45 percent premium discount, and a Class 9 community would receive a 5 percent discount. (Class 10 communities are those that do not participate in the CRS; they receive no discount.) The discount partially depends on location of the property. Properties outside the special flood hazard area receive smaller discounts: a 10-percent discount if the community is at Class 1 to 6 and a 5-percent discount if the community is at Class 7 to 9.

The CRS classes for local communities are based on 18 creditable activities in the following categories:
• Public information
• Mapping and regulations
• Flood damage reduction
• Flood preparedness.

CRS activities can help to save lives and reduce property damage. Communities participating in the CRS represent a significant portion of the nation’s flood risk; over 66 percent of the NFIP’s policy base is located in these communities. Communities receiving premium discounts through the CRS range from small to large and represent a broad mixture of flood risks, including both coastal and riverine flood risks.

Disaster Mitigation Act
The DMA is the current federal legislation addressing hazard mitigation planning. It emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur. It specifically addresses planning at the local level, requiring plans to be in place before Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant funds are available to communities. This City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-4
plan is designed to meet the requirements of DMA, improving eligibility for future hazard mitigation funds.

Emergency Relief for Federally Owned Roads Program
The U.S. Forest Service’s Emergency Relief for Federally Owned Roads Program was established to assist federal agencies with repair or reconstruction of tribal transportation facilities, federal lands transportation facilities, and other federally owned roads that are open to public travel and have suffered serious damage by a natural disaster over a wide area or by a catastrophic failure. The program funds both emergency and permanent repairs (Office of Federal Lands Highway, 2016).

Eligible activities under this program meet some of the goals and objectives for this plan and the program is a possible funding source for actions identified in this plan.

Emergency Watershed Program
The U. S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service administers the Emergency Watershed Protection Program, which responds to emergencies created by natural disasters. Eligibility for assistance is not dependent on a national emergency declaration. The program is designed to help people and conserve natural resources by relieving imminent hazards to life and property caused by floods, fires, windstorms, and other natural occurrences. Emergency Watershed Protection is an emergency recovery program. Financial and technical assistance are available for the following activities (Natural Resources Conservation Service, 2016):
• Remove debris from stream channels, road culverts, and bridges • Reshape and protect eroded banks
• Correct damaged drainage facilities
• Establish cover on critically eroding lands
• Repair levees and structures
• Repair conservation practices.

This federal program could be a possible funding source for actions identified in this plan.

Endangered Species Act
The federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) was enacted in 1973 to conserve species facing depletion or extinction and the ecosystems that support them. The act sets forth a process for determining which species are threatened and endangered and requires the conservation of the critical habitat in which those species live. The ESA provides broad protection for species of fish, wildlife and plants that are listed as threatened or endangered. Provisions are made for listing species, as well as for recovery plans and the designation of critical habitat for listed species. The ESA outlines procedures for federal agencies to follow when taking actions that may jeopardize listed species and contains exceptions and exemptions. It is the enabling legislation for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Criminal and civil penalties are provided for violations of the ESA and the Convention.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-5
Federal agencies must seek to conserve endangered and threatened species and use their authorities in furtherance of the ESA’s purposes. The ESA defines three fundamental terms:
• Endangered means that a species of fish, animal or plant is “in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” (For salmon and other vertebrate species, this may include subspecies and distinct population segments.)
• Threatened means that a species “is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future.” Regulations may be less restrictive for threatened species than for endangered species. • Critical habitat means “specific geographical areas that are…essential for the conservation and management of a listed species, whether occupied by the species or not.” Five sections of the ESA are of critical importance to understanding it:
• Section 4: Listing of a Species—The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) is responsible for listing marine species; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for listing terrestrial and freshwater aquatic species. The agencies may initiate reviews for listings, or U.S. citizens may petition for them. A listing must be made “solely on the basis of the best scientific and commercial data available.” After a listing has been proposed, agencies receive comment and conduct further scientific reviews for 12 to 18 months, after which they must decide if the listing is warranted. Economic impacts cannot be considered in this decision, but it may include an evaluation of the adequacy of local and state protections. Critical habitat for the species may be designated at the time of listing. • Section 7: Consultation—Federal agencies must ensure that any action they authorize, fund, or carry out is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a listed or proposed species or adversely modify its critical habitat. This includes private and public actions that require a federal permit. Once a final listing is made, non-federal actions are subject to the same review, termed a “consultation.” If the listing agency finds that an action will “take” a species, it must propose mitigations or “reasonable and prudent” alternatives to the action; if the proponent rejects these, the action cannot proceed.
• Section 9: Prohibition of Take—It is unlawful to “take” an endangered species, including killing or injuring it or modifying its habitat in a way that interferes with essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding or sheltering.
• Section 10: Permitted Take—Through voluntary agreements with the federal government that provide protections to an endangered species, a non-federal applicant may commit a take that would otherwise be prohibited as long as it is incidental to an otherwise lawful activity (such as developing land or building a road). These agreements often take the form of a “Habitat Conservation Plan.”
• Section 11: Civil Lawsuits—Civil actions initiated by any U.S. citizen can require the listing agency to enforce the ESA’s prohibition of taking or to meet the requirements of the consultation process.

FEMA hazard mitigation project grant applications require full compliance with applicable federal acts.

Any action identified in this plan that falls within the scope of this act will need to meet its requirements.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-6
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Dam Safety Program The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) cooperates with a large number of federal and state agencies to ensure and promote dam safety. More than 3,000 dams are part of regulated hydroelectric projects in the FERC program. Two-thirds of these are more than 50 years old. As dams age, concern about their safety and integrity grows, so oversight and regular inspection are important.

FERC inspects hydroelectric projects on an unscheduled basis to investigate the following:
• Potential dam safety problems
• Complaints about constructing and operating a project • Safety concerns related to natural disasters
• Issues concerning compliance with the terms and conditions of a license.

Every five years, an independent engineer approved by the FERC must inspect and evaluate projects with dams higher than 32.8 feet (10 meters), or with a total storage capacity of more than 2,000 acre- feet.

FERC monitors seismic research and applies it in performing structural analyses of hydroelectric projects. FERC also evaluates the effects of potential and actual large floods on the safety of dams.

During and following floods, FERC visits dams and licensed projects, determines the extent of damage, if any, and directs any necessary studies or remedial measures the licensee must undertake. The FERC publication Engineering Guidelines for the Evaluation of Hydropower Projects guides the FERC engineering staff and licensees in evaluating dam safety. The publication is frequently revised to reflect current information and methodologies.

FERC requires licensees to prepare emergency action plans and conducts training sessions on how to develop and test these plans. The plans outline an early warning system if there is an actual or potential sudden release of water from a dam due to failure. The plans include operational procedures that may be used, such as reducing reservoir levels and reducing downstream flows, as well as procedures for notifying affected residents and agencies responsible for emergency management.

These plans are frequently updated and tested to ensure that everyone knows what to do in emergency situations.

National Dam Safety Act
Potential for catastrophic flooding due to dam failures led to passage of the National Dam Inspection Act in 1972, creation of the National Dam Safety Program in 1996, and reauthorization of the program through the Dam Safety Act in 2006. National Dam Safety Program, administered by FEMA requires a periodic engineering analysis of the majority of dams in the country; exceptions include the following:
• Dams under jurisdiction of the Bureau of Reclamation, Tennessee Valley Authority, or International Boundary and Water Commission
• Dams constructed pursuant to licenses issued under the Federal Power Act • Dams that the Secretary of the Army determines do not pose any threat to human life or property.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-7
The goal of this FEMA-monitored effort is to identify and mitigate the risk of dam failure so as to protect lives and property of the public. The National Dam Safety Program is a partnership among the states, federal agencies, and other stakeholders that encourages individual and community responsibility for dam safety. Under FEMA’s leadership, state assistance funds have allowed all participating states to improve their programs through increased inspections, emergency action planning, and purchases of needed equipment. FEMA has also expanded existing and initiated new training programs. Grant assistance from FEMA provides support for improvement of dam safety programs that regulate most of the dams in the United States.

National Environmental Policy Act
The National Environmental Policy Act requires federal agencies to consider the environmental impacts of proposed actions and reasonable alternatives to those actions, alongside technical and economic considerations. The National Environmental Policy Act established the Council on Environmental Quality, whose regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508) set standards for compliance. Consideration and decision-making regarding environmental impacts must be documented in an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment. Environmental impact assessment requires the evaluation of reasonable alternatives to a proposed action, solicitation of input from organizations and individuals that could be affected, and an unbiased presentation of direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts. FEMA hazard mitigation project grant applications require full compliance with applicable federal acts. Any action identified in this plan that falls within the scope of this act will need to meet its requirements.

National Flood Insurance Program
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) makes federally backed flood insurance available to homeowners, renters, and business owners in participating communities that enact floodplain regulations. Participation and good standing under NFIP are prerequisites to grant funding eligibility under the Robert T. Stafford Act. NFIP participation is limited to local governments that possess permit authority and have the ability to adopt and enforce regulations that govern land use.

For most participating communities, FEMA has prepared a detailed Flood Insurance Study. The study presents water surface elevations for floods of various magnitudes, including the 1-percent-annual- chance flood and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood. Base flood elevations and the boundaries of the flood hazard areas are shown on Flood Insurance Rate Maps, which are the principle tool for identifying the extent and location of the flood hazard. Flood Insurance Rate Maps are the most detailed and consistent data source available, and for many communities they represent the minimum area of oversight under the local floodplain management program. In recent years, Flood Insurance Rate Maps have been digitized as Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps, which are more accessible to residents, local governments and stakeholders.

NFIP participants must, at a minimum, regulate development in floodplain areas in accordance with NFIP criteria. Before issuing a permit to build in a floodplain, participating jurisdictions must ensure that three criteria are met:
• New buildings and those undergoing substantial improvements must, at a minimum, be elevated to protect against damage by the 1-percent-annual-chance flood.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-8
• New floodplain development must not aggravate existing flood problems or increase damage to other properties.
• New floodplain development must exercise a reasonable and prudent effort to reduce its adverse impacts on threatened salmonid species.

In California, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) is the coordinating agency for floodplain management. DWR works with FEMA and local governments by providing grants and technical assistance, evaluating community floodplain management programs, reviewing local floodplain ordinances, participating in statewide flood hazard mitigation planning, and facilitating annual statewide workshops. Compliance is monitored by FEMA regional staff and by DWR.

National Incident Management System
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a systematic approach for government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to work together to manage incidents involving hazards. The NIMS provides a flexible but standardized set of incident management practices.

Incidents typically begin and end locally, and they are managed at the lowest possible geographical, organizational, and jurisdictional level. In some cases, success depends on the involvement of multiple jurisdictions, levels of government, functional agencies, and emergency responder disciplines. These cases necessitate coordination across a spectrum of organizations. Communities using NIMS follow a comprehensive national approach that improves the effectiveness of emergency management and response personnel across the full spectrum of potential hazards (including natural hazards, technological hazards, and human-caused hazards) regardless of size or complexity.

Although participation is voluntary, federal departments and agencies are required to make adoption of NIMS by local and state jurisdictions a condition to receive federal preparedness grants and awards.

The content of this plan is considered to be a viable support tool for any phase of emergency management. The NIMS program is considered as a response function, and information in this hazard mitigation plan can support the implementation and update of all NIMS-compliant plans within the planning area.

Presidential Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management Executive Order 11988 requires federal agencies to avoid to the extent possible the long and short- term adverse impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of floodplains and to avoid direct and indirect support of floodplain development wherever there is a practicable alternative. It requires federal agencies to provide leadership and take action to reduce the risk of flood loss, minimize the impact of floods on human safety, health, and welfare, and restore and preserve the natural and beneficial values of floodplains. The requirements apply to the following activities (FEMA, 2015a):
• Acquiring, managing, and disposing of federal lands and facilities • Providing federally undertaken, financed, or assisted construction and improvements • Conducting federal activities and programs affecting land use, including but not limited to water and related land resources planning, regulation, and licensing.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-9
Presidential Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands Executive Order 11990 requires federal agencies to provide leadership and take action to minimize the destruction, loss or degradation of wetlands, and to preserve and enhance the natural and beneficial values of wetlands. The requirements apply to the following activities (National Archives, 2016):
• Acquiring, managing, and disposing of federal lands and facilities • Providing federally undertaken, financed, or assisted construction and improvements • Conducting federal activities and programs affecting land use, including but not limited to water and related land resources planning, regulation, and licensing.

All actions identified in this plan will seek full compliance with all applicable presidential executive orders.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Dam Safety Program
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates and maintains approximately 700 dams nationwide. It is also responsible for safety inspections of some federal and non-federal dams in the United States that meet the size and storage limitations specified in the National Dam Safety Act. The Corps has inventoried dams; surveyed each state and federal agency’s capabilities, practices and regulations regarding design, construction, operation and maintenance of the dams; and developed guidelines for inspection and evaluation of dam safety. The Corps maintains the National Inventory of Dams, which contains information about a dam’s location, size, purpose, type, last inspection and regulatory status (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2017).

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Flood Hazard Management
The following U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorities and programs related to flood hazard management:
• The Floodplain Management Services program offers 100-percent federally funded technical services such as development and interpretation of site-specific data related to the extent, duration and frequency of flooding. Special studies may be conducted to help a community understand and respond to flood risk. These may include flood hazard evaluation, flood warning and preparedness, or flood modeling.
• For more extensive studies, the Corps of Engineers offers a cost-shared program called Planning Assistance to States and Tribes. Studies under this program generally range from $25,000 to $100,000 with the local jurisdiction providing 50 percent of the cost. • The Corps of Engineers has several cost-shared programs (typically 65 percent federal and 35 percent non-federal) aimed at developing, evaluating and implementing structural and non- structural capital projects to address flood risks at specific locations or within a specific watershed:
 The Continuing Authorities Program for smaller-scale projects includes Section 205 for Flood Control, with a $7 million federal limit and Section 14 for Emergency Streambank Protection with a $1.5 million federal limit. These can be implemented without specific authorization from Congress.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-10
 Larger scale studies, referred to as General Investigations, and projects for flood risk management, for ecosystem restoration or to address other water resource issues, can be pursued through a specific authorization from Congress and are cost-shared, typically at 65 percent federal and 35 percent non-federal.
 Watershed management planning studies can be specifically authorized and are cost- shared at 50 percent federal and 50 percent non-federal. • The Corps of Engineers provides emergency response assistance during and following natural disasters. Public Law 84-99 enables the Corps to assist state and local authorities in flood fight activities and cost share in the repair of flood protective structures. Assistance is provided in the flowing categories:
 Preparedness—The Flood Control and Coastal Emergency Act establishes an emergency fund for preparedness for emergency response to natural disasters; for flood fighting and rescue operations; for rehabilitation of flood control and hurricane protection structures.

Funding for Corps of Engineers emergency response under this authority is provided by Congress through the annual Energy and Water Development Appropriation Act. Disaster preparedness activities include coordination, planning, training and conduct of response exercises with local, state and federal agencies.
 Response Activities—Public Law 84-99 allows the Corps of Engineers to supplement state and local entities in flood fighting urban and other non-agricultural areas under certain conditions (Engineering Regulation 500-1-1 provides specific details). All flood fight efforts require a project cooperation agreement signed by the public sponsor and the sponsor must remove all flood fight material after the flood has receded. Public Law 84-99 also authorizes emergency water support and drought assistance in certain situations and allows for “advance measures” assistance to prevent or reduce flood damage conditions of imminent threat of unusual flooding.
 Rehabilitation—Under Public Law 84-99, an eligible flood protection system can be rehabilitated if damaged by a flood event. The flood system would be restored to its pre- disaster status at no cost to the federal system owner, and at 20-percent cost to the eligible non-federal system owner. All systems considered eligible for Public Law 84-99 rehabilitation assistance have to be in the Rehabilitation and Inspection Program prior to the flood event. Acceptable operation and maintenance by the public levee sponsor are verified by levee inspections conducted by the Corps on a regular basis. The Corps has the responsibility to coordinate levee repair issues with interested federal, state, and local agencies following natural disaster events where flood control works are damaged.

These authorities and programs are all available to support any related mitigation actions.

STATE
AB 32: The California Global Warming Solutions Act
This bill identifies the following potential adverse impacts of global warming:
“… the exacerbation of air quality problems, a reduction in the quality and supply of water to the state from the Sierra snowpack, a rise in sea levels resulting in the displacement of thousands of coastal businesses and residences, damage to marine ecosystems and the natural environment, and an increase in the incidences of infectious diseases, asthma, and other human health-related problems.”
City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-11
AB 32 establishes a state goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 (a reduction of approximately 25 percent from forecast emission levels), with further reductions to follow.

The law requires the state Air Resources Board to do the following:
• Establish a program to track and report greenhouse gas emissions. • Approve a scoping plan for achieving the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective reductions from sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
• Adopt early reduction measures to begin moving forward. • Adopt, implement and enforce regulations—including market mechanisms such as “cap and- trade” programs—to ensure that the required reductions occur.

The Air Resources Board has adopted a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit and an emissions inventory, along with requirements to measure, track, and report greenhouse gas emissions by the industries it determined to be significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions.

AB 70: Flood Liability
This bill provides that a city or county may be required to contribute a fair and reasonable share to compensate for property damage caused by a flood to the extent that it has increased the state’s exposure to liability for property damage by unreasonably approving new development in a previously undeveloped area that is protected by a state flood control project, unless the city or county meets specified requirements.

AB 162: Flood Planning
This California State Assembly Bill passed in 2007 requires cities and counties to address flood-related matters in the land use, conservation, and safety and housing elements of their general plans. The land use element must identify and annually review the areas covered by the general plan that are subject to flooding as identified in floodplain mapping by either FEMA or the state Department of Water Resources (DWR). During the next revision of the housing element on or after January 1, 2009, the conservation element of the general plan must identify rivers, creeks, streams, flood corridors, riparian habitat, and land that may accommodate floodwater for the purpose of groundwater recharge and stormwater management. The safety element must identify information regarding flood hazards, including:
• Flood hazard zones
• Maps published by FEMA, DWR, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, and the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) • Historical data on flooding
• Existing and planned development in flood hazard zones.

The general plan must establish goals, policies and objectives related to flooding risks, including:
• Avoiding or minimizing the risks of flooding new development • Evaluating whether new development should be located in flood hazard zones City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-12
• Identifying construction methods to minimize damage.

AB 162 establishes goals, policies and objectives related to flooding risks. It establishes procedures for the determination of available land suitable for urban development, which may exclude lands where FEMA or DWR has concluded that the flood management infrastructure is not adequate to avoid the risk of flooding.

AB 747: Required Information for General Plan Safety Elements This bill requires California communities with general plans to address evacuation routes in the safety element of the general plan. Information on the evacuation routes and their capacity, safety and viability under a range of emergency scenarios must be provided. For communities that have not adopted a local hazard mitigation plan, the safety element must be updated with this information by January 1, 2022. For those with a local hazard mitigation plan, the requirement applies upon the next revision of the hazard mitigation plan on or after January 1, 2022. Communities that have adopted a local hazard mitigation plan, emergency operations plan, or other document that fulfills the goals and objectives of this law may comply with this requirement by summarizing and incorporating by reference the other plan or document in the safety element.

In subsequent revisions to the safety element, communities also will be required to identify new information relating to flood and fire hazards and climate adaptation and resiliency strategies applicable to the city or county that was not available during the previous revision of the safety element. These subsequent updates must occur upon each revision of the general plan housing element or local hazard mitigation plan and not less than once every eight years.

AB 2140: General Plans—Safety Element
This bill provides that the state may allow for more than 75 percent of public assistance funding under the California Disaster Assistance Act only if the local agency is in a jurisdiction that has adopted a local hazard mitigation plan as part of the safety element of its general plan. The local hazard mitigation plan needs to include elements specified in this legislation. In addition, this bill requires Cal OES to give preference for federal mitigation funding to cities and counties that have adopted local hazard mitigation plans. The intent of the bill is to encourage cities and counties to create and adopt hazard mitigation plans.

AB 2800: Climate Change—Infrastructure Planning
This California State Assembly bill passed in 2016 and until July 1, 2020, requires state agencies to take into account the current and future impacts of climate change when planning, designing, building, operating, maintaining, and investing in state infrastructure. The bill, by July 1, 2017, and until July 1, 2020, requires an agency to establish a Climate-Safe Infrastructure Working Group to examine how to integrate scientific data concerning projected climate change impacts into state infrastructure engineering.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-13
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act
The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act was enacted in 1972 to mitigate the hazard of surface faulting to structures for human occupancy. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act’s main purpose is to prevent construction of buildings used for human occupancy on the surface trace of active faults. Before a new project is permitted, cities and counties require a geologic investigation to demonstrate that proposed buildings will not be constructed on active faults. The act addresses only the hazard of surface fault rupture and is not directed toward other earthquake hazards, such as liquefaction or seismically induced landslides. The law requires the State of California Geologist to establish regulatory zones around the surface traces of active faults and to issue appropriate maps.

The maps are distributed to all affected cities, counties, and state agencies for their use in planning and controlling new or renewed construction. Local agencies must regulate most development projects within the zones. Projects include all land divisions and most structures for human occupancy. All seismic hazard mitigation actions identified in this plan will seek full compliance with the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act.

California Department of Water Resources
In California, the DWR is the coordinating agency for floodplain management. The DWR works with FEMA and local governments by providing grants and technical assistance, evaluating community floodplain management programs, reviewing local floodplain ordinances, participating in statewide flood hazard mitigation planning, and facilitating annual statewide workshops. Compliance is monitored by FEMA regional staff and by the DWR.

California Division of Safety of Dams
California’s Division of Safety of Dams (a division of the DWR) monitors the dam safety program at the state level and maintains a working list of dams in the state. When a new dam is proposed, Division engineers and geologists inspect the site and the subsurface. Upon submittal of an application, the Division reviews the plans and specifications prepared by the owner to ensure that the dam is designed to meet minimum requirements and that the design is appropriate for the known geologic conditions.

After approval of the application, the Division inspects all aspects of the construction to ensure that the work is done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. After construction, the Division inspects each dam to ensure that it is performing as intended and is not developing problems. The Division periodically reviews the stability of dams and their major appurtenances in light of improved design approaches and requirements, as well as new findings regarding earthquake hazards and hydrologic estimates in California. Over 1,200 dams are inspected by Division engineers on a yearly schedule to ensure performance and maintenance of dams (California Division of Safety of Dams, 2017).

California Environmental Quality Act
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was passed in 1970, shortly after the federal government enacted the National Environmental Policy Act, to institute a statewide policy of environmental protection. CEQA requires state and local agencies in California to follow a protocol of analysis and public disclosure of the potential environmental impacts of development projects. CEQA City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-14
makes environmental protection a mandatory part of every California state and local agency’s decision- making process.

CEQA establishes a statewide environmental policy and mandates actions all state and local agencies must take to advance the policy. Jurisdictions conduct analysis of the project to determine if there are potentially significant environmental impacts, identify mitigation measures, and possible project alternatives by preparing environmental reports for projects that requires CEQA review. This environmental review is required before an agency takes action on any policy, program, or project. Any project action identified in this plan will seek full CEQA compliance upon implementation.

California General Planning Law
California state law requires that every county and city prepare and adopt a comprehensive long-range plan to serve as a guide for community development. The general plan expresses the community’s goals, visions, and policies relative to future land uses, both public and private. The general plan is mandated and prescribed by state law (Cal. Gov. Code §65300 et seq.), and forms the basis for most local government land use decision-making.

The plan must consist of an integrated, internally consistent set of goals, policies, and implementation measures. In addition, the plan must focus on issues of the greatest concern to the community and be written in a clear and concise manner. City and county actions, such as those relating to land use allocations, annexations, zoning, subdivision and design review, redevelopment, and capital improvements, must be consistent with the plan.

California Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
Under the DMA, California must adopt a federally approved state multi-hazard mitigation plan to be eligible for certain disaster assistance and mitigation funding. The intent of the State of California Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan is to reduce or prevent injury and damage from hazards in the state through the following:
• Documenting statewide hazard mitigation planning in California • Describing strategies and priorities for future mitigation activities • Facilitating the integration of local and tribal hazard mitigation planning activities into statewide efforts
• Meeting state and federal statutory and regulatory requirements The plan is an annex to the State Emergency Plan, and it identifies past and present mitigation activities, current policies and programs, and mitigation strategies for the future. It also establishes hazard mitigation goals and objectives. The plan will be reviewed and updated annually to reflect changing conditions and new information, especially information on local planning activities. Under 44 CFR Section 201.6, local hazard mitigation plans must be consistent with their state’s hazard mitigation plan.

City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-15
California Residential Mitigation Program
The California Residential Mitigation Program was established in 2011 to help Californians strengthen their homes against damage from earthquakes. The program is a joint powers authority created by Cal OES and the California Earthquake Authority, which is a not-for-profit, publicly managed, privately funded provider of home earthquake insurance to California homeowners and renters.

Earthquake Brace + Bolt was developed to help homeowners lessen the potential for damage to their houses during an earthquake. A residential seismic retrofit strengthens an existing older house, making it more resistant to earthquake activity such as ground shaking and soil failure. The seismic retrofitting involves bolting the house to its foundation and adding bracing around the perimeter of the crawl space.

Most homeowners hire a contractor to do the retrofit work, and owners of houses in Zip codes with house characteristics suitable for this type of retrofit are eligible for up to $3,000 toward the cost. A typical retrofit by a contractor may cost between $3,000 and $7,000, depending on the location and size of the house, contractor fees, and the amount of materials and work involved. If the homeowner is an experienced do-it-yourselfer, a retrofit can cost less than $3,000.

California State Building Code
California Code of Regulations Title 24 (CCR Title 24), also known as the California Building Standards Code, is a compilation of building standards from three sources:
• Building standards that have been adopted by state agencies without change from building standards contained in national model codes
• Building standards that have been adopted and adapted from the national model code standards to meet California conditions
• Building standards authorized by the California legislature that constitute extensive additions not covered by the model codes adopted to address particular California concerns The state Building Standards Commission is authorized by California Building Standards Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 18901 through 18949.6) to administer the processes related to the adoption, approval, publication, and implementation of California’s building codes. These building codes serve as the basis for the design and construction of buildings in California. The national model code standards adopted into Title 24 apply to all occupancies in California, except for modifications adopted by state agencies and local governing bodies. Since 1989, the Building Standards Commission has published new editions of Title 24 every three years.

On January 1, 2014, California Building Code Accessibility Standards found in Chapter 11B incorporated the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards as the model accessibility code for California. The purpose was to ensure consistency with federal guidelines. As a result of this incorporation, the California standards will fully implement and include 2010 ADA Standards within the California Building Code while maintaining enhanced levels of accessibility already provided by existing California accessibility regulations.

Disadvantaged and Low-income Communities Investments
Senate Bill (SB) 535 directs state and local agencies to make investments that benefit California’s disadvantaged communities. It also directs the California Environmental Protection Agency to identify disadvantaged communities for the purposes of these investments based on geographic, socio- economic, public health, and environmental hazard criteria. Assembly Bill (AB) 1550 increased the percent of funds for projects located in disadvantaged communities from 10 to 25 percent and added a focus on investments in low-income communities and households. This program is a potential alternative source of funding for actions identified in this plan.

Division of the State Architect’s AB 300 List of Seismically At-Risk Schools In 2002, California’s Division of the State Architect completed an inventory of public school buildings built before 1978 that identifies buildings with characteristics that might make them unsafe in future earthquakes. This inventory provides a list of potentially at‐risk schools known as the AB 300 list (the inventory was authorized by Assembly Bill 300 in 1999). Using available information on school buildings’ dates of construction, seismic retrofits, and structural systems (wood‐frame, concrete shear wall, or steel moment frame, etc.), the inventory categorized California public school buildings into one of two categories: those expected to perform well in future earthquakes; and those that are not expected to perform well and require more detailed seismic evaluation.

The Division of the State Architect recommends that public schools on this list undergo detailed seismic evaluations to determine if they pose life safety risks, but the state has neither required nor funded school districts to do this.

Governor’s Executive Order S-13-08
Governor’s Executive Order S-13-08 enhances the state’s management of climate impacts from sea level rise, increased temperatures, shifting precipitation and extreme weather events. There are four key actions in the executive order:
• Initiate California’s first statewide climate change adaptation strategy to assess expected climate change impacts, identify where California is most vulnerable, and recommend adaptation policies. This effort will improve coordination within state government so that better planning can more effectively address climate impacts on human health, the environment, the state’s water supply and the economy.
• Request that the National Academy of Science establish an expert panel to report on sea level rise impacts in California, to inform state planning and development efforts. • Issue interim guidance to state agencies for how to plan for sea level rise in designated coastal and floodplain areas for new projects.
• Initiate a report on critical infrastructure projects vulnerable to sea level rise.

Senate Bill 92: Public Resources Portion of Biennial Budget Bill The State of California updated its requirements regarding emergency action plans (EAPs) via Senate Bill 92, which became effective in June 2017 as part of the state Legislature’s biennial budget process.

The bill required dam owners to submit EAPs to Cal OES and the Department of Water Resources for City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-17
approval by January 1, 2018 (for extremely high hazard dams), January 1, 2019 (for high-hazard dams), and January 1, 2021 (for significant hazard dams). The EAPs were to include the following (California Government Code Section 8589.5; Cal OES, 2018):
• Emergency notification flow charts
• Information on a four-step response process
• Description of agencies’ roles and actions in response to an emergency incident • Description of actions to be taken in advance of an emergency • Inundation maps
• Additional information such as revision records and distribution lists After the EAPs are approved by the state, the law requires dam owners to send the approved EAPs to relevant stakeholders. Local public agencies can then adopt emergency procedures that incorporate the information in the EAP in a manner that conforms to local needs and includes methods and procedures for alerting and warning the public and other response and preparedness related items (State of California, 2018).

SB 92 also requires dams other than low-risk dams to have current inundation mapping, which must be updated every 10 years, or sooner if specific circumstances change. EAPs also must be updated every 10 years. It provides DWR with enforcement tools, including fines and operational restrictions for failure to comply. Cal OES is required by the law to work with state and federal agencies, dam owners, planners, and the public to make dam inundation maps available to community members interested in learning their dam failure inundation risk.

Senate Bill 97: Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Senate Bill 97, enacted in 2007, amends CEQA to clearly establish that greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of greenhouse gas emissions are appropriate subjects for CEQA analysis. It directs the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research to develop draft CEQA guidelines for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions or their effects by July 1, 2009 and directs the California Natural Resources Agency to certify and adopt the CEQA Guidelines by January 1, 2010.

Senate Bill 99: Evacuation Route Planning
Senate Bill 99, enacted in 2019, requires that cities’ and counties’ general plans address evacuation routes from any hazard area identified in the safety element. Under this law, the safety element must include information to identify residential developments in hazard areas that do not have at least two emergency evacuation routes. Each city or county must update its safety element with the new information upon the next revision of its housing element on or after January 1, 2020.

Senate Bill 379: General Plans: Safety Element—Climate Adaptation Senate Bill 379 builds upon the flood planning inclusions into the safety and housing elements and the hazard mitigation planning safety element inclusions in general plans outlined in AB 162 and AB 2140, respectively. SB 379 focuses on a new requirement that cities and counties include climate adaptation City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Summary of Federal and State Agencies, Programs and Regulation B-18
and resiliency strategies in the safety element of their general plans beginning January 1, 2017. In addition, this bill requires general plans to include a set of goals, policies and objectives, and specified implementation measures based on the conclusions drawn from climate adaptation research and recommendations.

Senate Bill 1000: General Plan Amendments—Safety and Environmental Justice Elements
In 2016, Senate Bill 1000 amended California’s Planning and Zoning Law in two ways:
• The original law established requirements for initial revisions of general plan safety elements to address flooding, fire, and climate adaptation and resilience. It also required subsequent review and revision as necessary based on new information. Senate Bill 1000 specifies that the subsequent reviews and revision based on new information are required to address only flooding and fires (not climate adaptation and resilience). • Senate Bill 1000 adds a requirement that, upon adoption or revision of any two other general plan elements on or after January 1, 2018, an environmental justice element be adopted for the general plan or environmental justice goals, policies and objectives be incorporated into other elements of the plan.

Senate Bill 1035: Fire, Flood, and Adaptation Safety Element Updates Senate Bill 1035 clarifies that revisions to a community’s General Plan Safety Element—to address fire hazards, flood hazards, and climate adaptation and resilience strategies—must occur upon each revision to a Housing Element or Local Hazard Mitigation Program.

Standardized Emergency Management System
CCR Title 19 establishes the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) to standardize the response to emergencies involving multiple jurisdictions. SEMS is intended to be flexible and adaptable to the needs of all emergency responders in California. It requires emergency response agencies to use basic principles and components of emergency management. Local governments must use SEMS by December 1, 1996, to be eligible for state funding of response-related personnel costs under CCR Title 19 (Sections 2920, 2925 and 2930). The roles and responsibilities of Individual agencies contained in existing laws or the state emergency plan are not superseded by these regulations. This hazard mitigation plan is considered to be a support document for all phases of emergency management, including those associated with SEMS.

2022 City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan
Annual Progress Report

Reporting Period: (Insert reporting period)
Background: The City of Long Beach developed a hazard mitigation plan to reduce risk from all hazards by identifying resources, information, and strategies for risk reduction. The federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires state and local governments to develop hazard mitigation plans as a condition for federal disaster grant assistance. To prepare the plan, the City organized resources, assessed risks from natural hazards within the county, developed planning goals and objectives, reviewed mitigation alternatives, and developed an action plan to address probable impacts from natural hazards. By completing this process, these jurisdictions maintained compliance with the Disaster Mitigation Act, achieving eligibility for mitigation grant funding opportunities afforded under the Robert T. Stafford Act. The plan can be viewed online at:
https://www.longbeach.gov/disasterpreparedness/

Summary Overview of the Plan’s Progress: The performance period for the 2022 City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan became effective in Month Year with the final approval of the plan by FEMA. The initial performance period for this plan will be 5 years, with an anticipated update to the plan to occur before Month Year. As of this reporting period, the performance period for this plan is considered to be __% complete. The hazard mitigation plan has targeted 47 hazard mitigation actions to be pursued during the 5-year performance period. As of the reporting period, the following overall progress can be reported:
• __ out of 47 actions (__%) reported ongoing action toward completion. • __ out of 47 actions (__%) were reported as being complete. • __ out of 47 actions (___%) reported no action taken.

Purpose: The purpose of this report is to provide an annual update on the implementation of the action plan identified in the 2022 City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan. The objective is to ensure that there is a continuing and responsive planning process that will keep the hazard mitigation plan dynamic and responsive to the needs and capabilities of the City. This report discusses the following:
• Natural hazard events that have occurred within the last year • Changes in risk exposure within the planning area
City of Long Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Progress Report Template F-2
