FLOOD, TSUNAMI, STORM SURGE, AND SEVERE WINTER STORM
VULNERABILITIES
The major concern regarding the impact on communities from flood events is the loss of life and property. Critical infrastructure failures are also a threat and may require days or weeks to repair.
Similarly, the impact to business and industry can result in immediate and long term economic loss.
Property Loss
Extensive damage can be caused by flooding and landslide damage related to soil saturation from flood events. The type of property damage caused by flood events depends on the location, depth, and velocity of flood waters. Flood waters can wash buildings off foundations and sweep personal property downstream. For the cities within the LVMCOG residential, commercial, and public properties are subject to flood (see Annex F: Flood Insurance Rate Maps for specific areas at higher risk).
In addition, as a coastal community multiple properties in the City of Malibu are at risk from flooding from tsunami, storm surge, and/or severe winter storms. For example, numerous beach front properties are sometimes located very close to the surf line.
Map 90: Malibu Flood Insurance Rate Map, Panel 1511
Properties along the coast include private homes, businesses, and recreational areas including Malibu Lagoon. High surf can have a significant impact on these locations. Furthermore, storm run-off areas where mountain streams travel to the ocean are at risk of flood during severe storms. 503

Critical Infrastructure
Critical infrastructure can be damaged during floods especially when high water levels combine with flood debris. Damage can occur to water and sewer systems, electrical supplies, pipelines, transportation networks, emergency facilities, communications networks, and other essential sites.
Furthermore, contamination of underground wells and reservoirs can impact local water supplies.
Finally, flood waters and debris can overflow local storm water systems causing traffic disruptions and pose a hazard to the health of the local community. Furthermore, Pacific Coast Highway is the major transportation route and means of ingress/egress for the City of Malibu and sections of the highway are located very close to the shoreline.
Map 91: Malibu Coastline Example
Business and Industry
Flood events impact businesses by damaging property and interrupting access by employees, suppliers, and customers. Furthermore, a loss of utilities caused by flooding can prevent businesses and industry from functioning. In addition, local or regional flooding can result in lower worker productivity, disrupt traffic, and increase commute times. Moreover, multiple businesses in the City of Malibu are located along the coastline and are at greater risk of flooding from tsunami, storm surge, and/or severe winter storms. Also, many of these businesses in Malibu are dependent on tourism (e.g., hotels/rental housing, attractions, gift shops, restaurants, etc.) as well as ocean recreation and commerce such as boating, fishing, kayaking/wind sailing, surfing, and beach traffic.

FLOOD, TSUNAMI, STORM SURGE, AND SEVERE WINTER STORM HAZARD
IDENTIFICATION MITIGATION STRATEGIES
National Flood Insurance Program
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a Federal program created by Congress to mitigate future flood losses nationwide through sound, community-enforced building and zoning ordinances and to provide access to affordable, federally backed flood insurance protection for property owners. The NFIP is designed to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods.
The U.S. Congress established the NFIP on August 1, 1968, with the passage of the National Flood Insurance Act (NFIA) of 1968. The NFIP was broadened and modified with the passage of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and other legislative measures. It was further modified by the National Flood Insurance Reform Act (NFIRA) of 1994 and the Flood Insurance Reform Act (FIRA) of 2004.
The NFIP is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In support of the NFIP, FEMA identifies flood hazard areas throughout the United States and its territories. Most areas of flood hazard are commonly identified on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). A FIRM is an official map of a community on which FEMA has delineated both the special hazard areas and the risk premium zones applicable to the community.
Areas not yet identified by a FIRM may be mapped on Flood Hazard Boundary Maps (FHBMs).
Several areas of flood hazards are identified on these maps. One of these areas is the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).
The SFHA is a high-risk area defined as any land that would be inundated by a flood having a 1- percent chance of occurring in a given year (also referred to as the base flood). The high-risk-area standard constitutes a reasonable compromise between the need for building restrictions to minimize potential loss of life and property and the economic benefits to be derived from floodplain development. Development may take place within an SFHA, provided that development complies with local floodplain management ordinances, which must meet the minimum Federal requirements. Flood insurance is required for insurable structures within high-risk areas to protect Federal financial investments and assistance used for acquisition and/or construction purposes within communities participating in the NFIP.
Flood is defined in the Standard Flood Insurance Policy (SFIP), in part, as: A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties (at least one of which is your property) from overflow of inland or tidal waters, from unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source, or from mudflow.
The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 allows FEMA to make flood insurance available only in those areas where the appropriate public body has adopted adequate floodplain management regulations for its flood-prone areas. Individual citizens cannot regulate building or establish construction priorities for communities. Without community oversight of building activities in the 505

floodplain, the best efforts of some to reduce future flood losses could be undermined or nullified by the careless building of others. Unless the community as a whole is practicing adequate flood hazard mitigation, the potential for loss will not be reduced sufficiently to affect disaster relief costs. Insurance rates also would reflect the probable higher losses that would result without local floodplain management enforcement activities.
Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between local communities and the Federal Government that states that if a community will adopt and enforce a floodplain management ordinance to reduce future flood risks to new construction in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the Federal Government will make flood insurance available within the community as a financial protection against flood losses.
Each city within the Las Virgenes-Malibu Council of Governments participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (see FEMA Community Status Book Report: California table following) and the ongoing eligibility requirements are specified under 44CFR§59.21. Copies of current FIRMs are provided in Annex F: Flood Insurance Rate Maps.

An NSFHA is not in any immediate danger from flooding caused by overflowing rivers or hard rains. However, it’s important to note that structures within a NSFHA are still at risk LVMCOG Mitigation Activities
Flooding is often a regional problem that crosses multiple jurisdictional boundaries. Flood risks are greatest and flood hazards most severe during the winter “wet season” when water bodies may become full and soils saturated. Although flooding is primarily a natural process and is therefore difficult to prevent, urbanization, land use, and development decisions have a significant effect on the frequency and severity of floods.
Flood mitigation activities include enforcement of building codes, zoning codes, and various planning strategies to address development in areas of known hazards and applying the appropriate safeguards. Furthermore, all cities within the Las Virgenes Malibu Council of Governments have assessed their flood hazards and participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) is responsible for regional flood control within the County. Flood mitigation measures include an extensive storm drain and flood control system.

Agoura Hills
The City of Agoura Hills provides residents with
flood facts via its web site. This includes
general information and response guidance.
Further, the Los Angeles County Department of
Public Works (LACDPW) presently owns and
maintains three major flood control facilities in
Agoura Hills. These facilities are the Lindero
Canyon Channel, the Chesebro Canyon
Channel, and parts of Medea Creek. Two major
drainage channels not maintained by the
LACDPW are the Palo Comado Canyon and
Liberty Canyon. With the exception of the Palo
Comado Canyon, these drainages are
unchannelized or are maintained as semi-natural
and are located in open space corridors.
The Lindero Canyon Channel provides flood
protection for the west drainage flow from
Lindero Canyon. This canyon extends into
Ventura Canyon, well beyond the City of
Agoura Hills northerly boundary.
The Chesebro Canyon Channel provides controlled drainage for the east drainage area of the City. Chesebro Canyon Channel intercepts the flows from Chesebro Canyon, and Palo Comado Canyon. Both canyons extend into Ventura Canyon, beyond the City of Agoura Hills northern boundary line.
Medea Creek is partially improved between the Ventura Freeway and north to the Ventura County line. Medea Creek provides flood control protection for the central drainage area of the City. Medea Creek intercepts flow from Medea Creek Canyon, extending into Ventura County.
FEMA has identified several Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) within Agoura Hills. Within these zones, the City of Agoura Hills enforces floodplain management standards as issued by FEMA. These standards are designed to prevent new development from increasing the flood threat and protect new and existing buildings from anticipated flood events.
Per FEMA, a SFHA is an area having special flood, mudflow or flood-related erosion hazards and shown on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) or a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Zone A, AO, A1-A30, AE, A99, AH, AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/AH, AR/AO, AR/A1-A30, V1-V30, VE or V. The SFHA is the area where the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP's) floodplain management regulations must be enforced and the area where the mandatory purchase of flood insurance applies. For the purpose of determining Community Rating System (CRS) premium discounts, all AR and A99 zones are treated as non-SFHAs. 507

Development under the City’s General Plan could place structures within the SFHA, but not in a manner that would substantially impede or redirect flows. Adherence to development policies as well as state and federal regulations reduces the flood threat. Furthermore, as part of development project reviews, the City requires that a drainage plan and study be submitted, as appropriate. The following policies have been implemented in Agoura Hills. These policies guide the City in its continued compliance with NFIP guidelines and in reducing present and future flood hazards.
Policy Description
S-1.1 Coordination of Drainage Improvements. Locate and improve deficiencies in the storm drain system to prevent local flooding problems in the City.
S-1.2 New Development. Require new development to upgrade storm drains to handle the increased runoff generated from the development sites.
S-1.3 Facility Use or Storage of Hazardous Materials. Require that all facilities storing, using, or otherwise involved with substantial quantities of on-site hazardous materials within flood zones comply with applicable standards of elevation, anchoring, and flood proofing, and that hazardous materials be stored in watertight containers.
S-1.4 SEMS Plan. Ensure that the City's Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) Plan is evaluated annually and revised as required, that the current mitigation strategies addressing flood hazards are implemented, and that effective public outreach and education are included.
S-1.5 Preservation of the Flood Plains. Preservation of the flood plains as open space shall be considered, as feasible, as an alternative to channelization. 508

Calabasas
Calabasas facilitates efforts with local, state, and federal agencies, including special districts to address flooding issues. Development is generally discouraged in flood-prone areas and individual developers in Calabasas are required to mitigate their potential contributions to downstream flooding problems. Any structures placed within the SFHA, will not be built in a manner that would substantially impede or redirect flows. Adherence to development policies as well as state and federal regulations reduces impacts from flooding in Calabasas to less than significant levels.
The map below depicts FEMA designated flood zones in Calabasas. Small portions of western Calabasas (purple shaded areas) is within the 100-year floodplain; however, the majority of the City is not located within any designated Special Flood Hazard Areas.

Hidden Hills
There are no year-round streams or ponds within the city. Surface water runoff only occurs during and after periods of intense rainfall. The City’s topography and soil conditions subject Hidden Hills to flood hazards from storm drain overflow, erosion, mudflows, and debris deposits. There are no Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) in the city of Hidden Hills. For this reason, there are no FEMA mandated floodplain management requirements to which Hidden Hills must adhere in order to participate in the NFIP.
Hidden Hills has implemented building code 3319.1 as a preventative measure for loss of life and property due to a flood event. Key Provisions of section 3319.1 include:
Category Description
Building Limitations Buildings are not permitted in an area determined by the City Engineer to be subject to flood hazard by reason of inundation, overflow or erosion, or where the placement of a building or other structures on the site is such that water or mud flows will be a hazard to buildings on adjacent property. The building official, in application of this subsection shall enforce, as a minimum, the current Federal Flood Plain Management Regulations defined in Title 44, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 60.3.
Site Restrictions A person shall not perform work for which a building or grading permit is required within the boundaries of an established floodway, as determined by the City Engineer, if such work increases the flood hazard to adjacent properties by either increasing the capital flood water surface elevation, deflecting flows or increasing bank erosion. Such work may be performed within an established floodway and a building or grading permit therefore may be issued, where provisions are made to the satisfaction of the City Engineer to avoid such as increase in the flood hazard.
Los Angeles County
Flood Control District
The Los Angeles County Flood Control District shall act as a consultant to the City Engineer in permit matters relating to flood control and flood hazard identification, avoidance and mitigation in all areas defined on maps furnished to the Engineer.
These standards are designed to prevent new development and site modifications from increasing the threat of flood and to protect new and existing buildings from future flood events. 512

Malibu
The City of Malibu is the only coastal community within the Las Virgenes-Malibu Council of Governments. The City extends 21 miles along the Pacific coast. In addition to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the City also contains multiple riparian zones that are subject to flood.
Development under the City’s General Plan could place structures within the SFHA, but not in a manner that would substantially impede or redirect flows. Adherence to development policies as well as state and federal regulations reduces impacts from flooding to less than significant levels.
FEMA has identified areas within Malibu as Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA). The map below provides a view of the Flood Insurance Rate Map zones for the City of Malibu. Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) are located in the Annex F.
All development, redevelopment, remodels and repairs in a mapped FEMA Flood Zone must meet FEMA and City of Malibu Floodplain Ordinance. All development projects submitted to the Planning Department will be reviewed by the Public Works Department to verify that the project will meet the FEMA Regulations and the City's Floodplain Ordinance. Some projects may be required to elevate the structure above the flood base flood elevation and execute a FEMA Elevation Certificate.

Westlake Village
Flood hazard areas within the City of Westlake Village are focused on the Triunfo Canyon drainage below Westlake Lake and the banks of the lake itself. A storm drain system has been constructed in the vicinity of the canyon to moderate the effects of storm runoff.
The Los Angeles County Flood Control District has prepared a Triunfo Creek Floodway Map (LACFCD 154-ML2, Ord. 81-0021), which defines the physical limits of the flood hazard and the minimum floor elevations required for structures outside the hazard area. Any development within the canyon will be subject to the review and approval of the District.
Development on the shores of Westlake Lake has been set back several feet from the highest water level which could be expected to occur. This setback is recognized as a flood hazard area and is maintained as open space. The “spillover” design of the Westlake Lake dam ensures that flooding beyond the lake’s banks cannot occur.
Urban flooding can sometimes be possible due to debris accumulation on storm drains and in flood control channels and basins, over-burdened pumping stations and aged drainage systems. Lowlying areas are particularly susceptible to urban flooding.
There are no specific areas identified as frequent drainage problems. However, the general areas most susceptible are those around the Westlake Lake since this is the lowest elevation level in the City. These areas include First Neighborhood, Lakeshore, and Southshore.
In addition, the City of Westlake Village web site provides flood and mudflow preparation and mitigation guidance to residents following wildfires (such as post Woolsey Fire preparation). This information includes where to obtain sandbags; precautions for areas around flood control
channels, catch basins, canyons and natural waterways;
road hazards; burn debris removal; utilities (electrical and gas shutoffs); and flood insurance.
Further, the site provides links to social media sources for alerts and information:
Los Angeles County Fire Department (on “X”) Twitter @LACoFDPIO Los Angeles County Sheriff Department (on “X”) Twitter @LASDHQ Los Angeles County Public Works (on “X”) Twitter @LACoPublicWorks City of Westlake Village Facebook @CityofWestlakeVillage The City complies with program requirements through the adoption and implementation of a flood plain management ordinance, which is coordinated by the City Engineer. This ordinance requires new development to meet certain standards to reduce the risk of future flood damage. Implementation of the program on the local level ensures that flood insurance will be available to local residents.

SECTION 13. PANDEMIC
THE NATURE OF THE PANDEMIC THREAT
Oxford Languages defines a pandemic as a “widespread occurrence of an infectious disease over a whole country or the world at a particular time.” According to Duke Global Health Institute, in any given year, there is a 2% chance of a major pandemic with effects similar to COVID-19 occurring.
Major Factors
While there have been significant advancements in health and medical technologies, according to the National Library of Medicine, major factors such as the frequency of international travel, climate change, ongoing human to animal contact, and urbanization contribute to an increased risk of pandemics happening in the future.
The Continuum of Pandemic Phases
The emergence of a pandemic can lead to various consequences, including higher healthcare demands, strained medical resources, economic disruptions, social impacts, loss of life and longterm disability. Given the continuing risk of a pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have identified four phases of the pandemic continuum. In the risk assessment continuum below, there are three stages: "preparedness," "response," and "recovery." During the "preparedness" stage, global cases are lowest, representing the interpandemic phase. Cases rise significantly during the "alert" and "pandemic" phases. These phases overlap with the "response" stage. Subsequently, in the "transition" phase, cases decrease, coinciding with the "recovery" stage.
A slight increase in cases during the "transition" phase suggests a potential second wave.
Eventually, cases return to the original interpandemic levels, aligning with the "preparedness" stage.

Phases of a Pandemic
Pandemics are comprised of 6 phases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The pandemic phases progress as follows: Phase 1 has no reported animal-to-human virus infections.
In Phase 2, animal viruses infect humans, raising concerns. Phase 3 involves sporadic human cases but no widespread transmission. Phase 4 sees confirmed human-to-human transmission with community outbreaks. Phase 5 includes human-to-human spread in two countries in one WHO region. Finally, Phase 6 is the pandemic phase, which signifies global community-level outbreaks.

CAUSES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF COVID-19
The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), “is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus” which originated in China in 2019, spreading around the globe rapidly.
The virus primarily spreads through respiratory droplets, making close person-to-person contact a significant mode of transmission. It is characterized by a range of symptoms, including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, with some cases progressing to severe respiratory distress.
Additionally, COVID-19 exhibits a wide range of severity, from asymptomatic carriers to severe cases requiring intensive medical intervention.
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in substantial disruptions worldwide due to the significant number of cases and associated fatalities. The table below provides the estimated number of cases and fatalities within the Las Virgenes-Malibu region. In comparison to the United States fatality rate (1.1%)37, the LVMCOG Region has a lower fatality rate (-0.5%), suggesting variations in healthcare infrastructure, public health measures, or demographics.

PANDEMIC HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
World Health Organization (WHO) Declaration
The declaration of the beginning and end of a pandemic is typically made by the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO assesses global health situations and provides recommendations based on epidemiological data and expert analysis. When a new infectious disease spreads internationally and poses a significant threat, the WHO may declare a pandemic. The declaration is based on criteria related to the geographic spread and severity of the disease.
White House Emergency Declaration
The President of the United States has the authority to declare a federal state of emergency. This declaration grants the President certain powers and allows for the allocation of federal resources and assistance to affected states or regions. It facilitates a coordinated response across federal, state, and local agencies to address the emergency effectively.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Pandemic Declaration The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a key agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services responsible for protecting public health and safety through the control and prevention of diseases, injuries, and disabilities. The CDC may issue a pandemic declaration based on its assessment of the global spread and severity of a disease. This declaration serves as a significant public health alert, triggering coordinated efforts at the national and international levels to combat the spread of the infectious disease. It often leads to the implementation of various containment and mitigation strategies to protect public health.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, plays a critical role in pandemics by coordinating and supporting the federal government's response efforts. This includes allocating and distributing essential resources, issuing emergency declarations to unlock federal resources, and providing logistical support. They also facilitate communication and information sharing, conduct training and exercises, participate in strategic planning, and engage in community outreach and education. FEMA's overarching goal is to ensure a unified and efficient response to pandemics, working closely with federal, state, and local partners to safeguard public health and safety.
Governor Emergency Declaration
In California, the Governor is responsible for declaring a state of emergency in the state. This declaration grants the Governor certain powers to respond effectively to emergencies, such as natural disasters or public health crises. It allows for the mobilization of resources, coordination of agencies, and implementation of emergency measures to protect public safety and well-being.
The decision to declare an emergency is based on an assessment of the situation's severity and the need for an organized and coordinated response.

Stay at Home Order
A stay-at-home order is typically issued by relevant public health authorities such as the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, often in consultation with government officials. It is a directive aimed at limiting non-essential activities and movement of individuals within a specific region or jurisdiction. The goal is to reduce the spread of a contagious disease, such as a pandemic. This order may specify exceptions for essential activities like obtaining food, seeking medical care, or engaging in essential work. Compliance with the order is crucial in minimizing the impact of the public health crisis.
Estimated Impact of an Event
The consequences to local populations and employment of a pandemic is difficult to measure.
However, it is anticipated that a severe pandemic will cause health problems, reduce economic output, and lead to unemployment. The table below provides the estimated impact of a disaster using an overall 20% loss baseline.

Risk of Future Pandemic
For the LVMCOG Region, the risk of future climate change events was estimated by the Working Group using the following weighted formula:
Risk = (0.45 x Probability) + (0.30 x Magnitude/Severity) + (0.15 x Warning Time) + (0.10 x Duration) Probability Magnitude / Severity Warning Time Duration
Level ID Value Level ID Value Level ID Value Level ID Value Unlikely 1 Negligible 1 Less than 6 hrs 4 Less than 6 hrs 1 Possibly 2 Limited 2 6 to 12 hrs 3 Less than 24 hrs 2
Likely 3 Critical 3 12 to 24 hrs 2 Less than one wk 3
Highly Likely 4 Catastrophic 4 More than 24 hrs 1 More than one wk 4 The result was a climate change risk rating of 7.18 (see Annex C Working Group HMP Risk Assessment Survey for additional details):
Hazard Probability Magnitude Warning
Time Duration Risk
Pandemic 6 5.5 5.5 20 7.18
PANDEMIC VULNERABILITIES
Age
Over Age 65
Age represents a significant vulnerability in a pandemic. Older individuals, particularly those over the age of 65, are at higher risk of severe illness or death from infectious diseases. This demographic vulnerability necessitates targeted protective measures and healthcare resources.
Long-term care facilities and nursing homes, where older populations often reside, require special attention to prevent outbreaks and ensure adequate care. Vaccination efforts should prioritize this demographic to reduce their vulnerability.
Children
In the case of influenza, according to the CDC38, “Children younger than 5 years old–especially those younger than 2–are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications. Children of any age with certain chronic health conditions are also at higher risk; during the 2022-2023 flu season, 66 percent of children 0 to 17 years old hospitalized with flu had at least one underlying health condition, such as asthma, neurologic disease, obesity, or immune suppression.” Pregnancy
The CDC further notes that, “influenza is more likely to cause illness that results in hospitalization in pregnant people than in people of reproductive age who are not pregnant. Flu also may be harmful for a pregnant person’s developing baby. A common flu symptom is fever, which has been associated in some studies with neural tube defects and other adverse outcomes for a developing baby.”

Any Age Group - Spanish Flu Example
As stated by the Cleveland Clinic, “from 1918 to 1919, the Spanish flu infected an estimated 500 million people globally. This amounted to about 33% of the world’s population at the time. In addition, the Spanish flu killed about 50 million people. About 675,000 of the deaths were in the U.S. Just like the flu we get today, the Spanish flu was particularly harmful to infants under age 5 and people over the age of 65. One thing that was different about the Spanish flu was that it also killed a large number of healthy adults, aged 20 to 40 years.”39 Business and Industry
A pandemic exposes vulnerabilities within the business and industrial sectors. Disruptions in supply chains, reduced consumer demand, and workforce (due to illness or quarantine measures) can significantly impact economic stability. Although business of any size are likely to be impacted, small businesses may face additional challenges. Industries reliant on physical presence, such as manufacturing, hospitality, and entertainment, are particularly vulnerable.
Healthcare System
The healthcare system faces extreme vulnerabilities during a pandemic. Sudden surges in patients can strain resources, leading to shortages of critical supplies, beds, and healthcare professionals.
This can hinder the ability to provide optimal care, not only for COVID-19 patients but also for individuals with other medical needs. Moreover, healthcare workers themselves are at heightened risk of exposure.
Public Gatherings
Large gatherings present a significant vulnerability during a pandemic. Events such as conferences, concerts, and sports gatherings can serve as hotspots for viral transmission.
Inadequate social distancing and limited adherence to preventive measures can increase the spread of a viral infection. Balancing societal and economic needs with public health measures becomes a critical challenge. Implementing restrictions on gatherings, promoting virtual alternatives, and enforcing safety protocols are vital strategies to mitigate this vulnerability.
Underlying Disease
Individuals with underlying health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, or respiratory conditions, are more susceptible to severe outcomes from a pandemic. These conditions can exacerbate the impact of the virus and increase mortality rates. Adequate healthcare support and targeted public health messaging are essential in protecting this vulnerable population.
Additionally, vaccination campaigns and early detection and management of underlying conditions are crucial preventive measures.

PANDEMIC HAZARD IDENTIFICATION MITIGATION STRATEGIES
National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan
The COVID-19 Preparedness Plan created by The White House aims to address the COVID-19 Pandemic, which includes measures for testing, vaccination, healthcare infrastructure, and public health initiatives.
Protect Against and Treat COVID-19
The first category, "Protect Against and Treat COVID-19," emphasizes the critical importance of vaccination. It prioritizes the administration of vaccines to all eligible individuals, with a specific focus on providing booster shots. Additionally, the plan calls for the widespread availability and accessibility of testing to facilitate early detection and containment of the virus. Equitable access to high-quality treatments for COVID-19 is also highlighted, ensuring that individuals receive the necessary care and support. The category underscores the need to equip hospitals and healthcare facilities with the resources and personnel required to effectively manage and treat COVID-19 cases.
Prepare for New Variants
The second category, "Prepare for New Variants," addresses the dynamic nature of the virus. It places a strong emphasis on genomic sequencing and surveillance to detect and monitor emerging variants. In the event of new variants, the plan calls for the development and deployment of targeted vaccines and treatments to effectively respond. International collaboration and coordination are crucial in this regard, with a focus on strengthening partnerships to collectively address challenges posed by global variants.
Prevent Economic and Educational Shutdowns
The third category, "Prevent Economic and Educational Shutdowns," emphasizes a balanced approach to public health measures. It aims to control outbreaks without resorting to widespread shutdowns of businesses and educational institutions. The plan provides support to these sectors, offering resources and guidance to ensure safe operations. Furthermore, economic relief measures are implemented to assist individuals and families facing challenges due to the pandemic, helping to maintain stability and resilience in the face of economic uncertainties.
Continue to Vaccinate the World
The fourth category, "Continue to Vaccinate the World," highlights the significance of global vaccination efforts. It involves the acceleration of initiatives to share vaccine doses and support vaccine production on a global scale. The plan places an emphasis on building international partnerships and cooperation to address issues related to vaccine access and distribution.
Additionally, efforts are directed towards strengthening vaccine manufacturing capacity in lowand middle-income countries, ensuring equitable access to vaccines for all populations worldwide.

SECTION 14. TERRORISM AND MASS VIOLENCE
THE NATURE OF THE TERRORISM AND MASS VIOLENCE THREAT
Terrorism is a continuing threat throughout the world and within the United States. There is no history of terrorist acts or terrorist groups operating in the Las Virgenes Malibu Region.
Consequently, the probability of a terrorist attack is considered low. Nevertheless, it is still important to consider the potential for terrorist activities especially since there are a variety of political, social, religious, cultural, and economic factors that underlie the broad term “terrorist”.
In addition, since terrorists often focus on high visibility targets and civilian populations, the potential consequences of an attack underscore the need to consider terrorism as part of this mitigation plan.
Furthermore, while Mass Violence events such as “Active Shooter” incidents are generally considered workplace or school focused and are criminal acts, they can also be considered forms of terrorism. There are specific characteristics that can link some Active Shooter cases to terrorism. Namely the targeting of vulnerable populations resulting in loss of life and an intent to intimidate. While the risk of Mass Violence events such as Active Shooter incidents is still considered low, including all forms of terrorism is an important component of a comprehensive mitigation plan.
HISTORY OF TERRORIST AND MASS VIOLENCE EVENTS IN THE LAS VIRGENESMALIBU REGION The Las Virgenes-Malibu Region has not experienced a terrorist act or incidence of mass violence; however, it does include a variety of important businesses, public sites, pipelines, electrical infrastructure, and high-profile individuals which could attract the attention of terrorists. In addition, there are multiple schools, shopping areas, public venues, and private businesses that could experience mass violence attacks. The consequences of a terrorist act or mass violence incident in the region could also impact the local area, e.g., disruption of CA 101, Pacific Coast Highway, local streets, etc. Furthermore, there is a possibility that extremist groups or lone attackers could operate from the area and use it as a base of operations for attacks elsewhere.
Specific Threats
Recent trends toward large scale incidents generating significant casualties make preparedness and the mechanisms for effective response essential. In addition to large scale attacks, a full range of assault styles must be considered. Terrorists or mass violence perpetrators may include a variety of methods including letter bombs, large-scale bombs, active shooter incidents, car or truck attacks, knife assaults, bio-chemical attacks, car bombs, suicide attacks, or hostage taking.
Venues likely to suffer the impact of terrorism or mass violence include government facilities, military facilities and recruiting offices, military suppliers, hospitals, entertainment and cultural facilities, religious centers, shopping malls, business complexes, movie theaters, public arenas, colleges, schools, and research centers.

Motivation
Conventional political motivation for terrorism continue, however issues involving organized crime, narcotics trafficking, ecological/animal rights, abortion/right-to-life groups, and perceived economic injustice can also involve terrorist groups or lone individual “Lone Wolf” planning, and operations. In addition, increased motivation may be attributed to the growing use of the Internet for terrorist recruitment, training, and communications as well as social media as outlets for mass violence perpetrators to publicize their activities and motivation.
CAUSES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF TERRORISM AND MASS VIOLENCE INCIDENTS Terrorism
Defining Terrorism
There are multiple definitions of terrorism in common use. The United States Code defines terrorism as premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents usually intended to influence an audience. The United States Department of Justice defines terrorism as a violent act dangerous to human life, in violation of the criminal laws of the U.S. or any segment to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. The FBI defines terrorism as the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.
All three of these definitions share important components:
1. Criminal action
2. The action must include violence against civilians
3. The action is carried out in order to further political or social objectives
4. The action is intended to coerce a government or civilian population Terrorism Hazard Identification
The categories below serve to differentiate terrorist organizations or individuals according to common goals and motivation. It should be noted that these categories of terrorism and terrorist groups are constantly changing. In addition, the “Lone Wolf” terrorism (individuals not connected to a terror cell or larger group, but who commit acts of public violence, often on behalf of a personal grievance) has added another dimension.
Category Description
Separatist Separatist groups are those with the goal of separation from existing entities through independence, political autonomy, or religious freedom or domination. The ideologies separatists subscribe to include social justice or equity, anti-imperialism, as well as the resistance to conquest or occupation by a foreign power.
Ethnocentric Groups of this persuasion see race as the defining characteristic of a society, and therefore a basis of cohesion. There is usually the attitude that a particular group is superior because of their inherent racial characteristics. 532

Category Description
Nationalistic The loyalty and devotion to a nation, and the national consciousness derived from placing one nation's culture and interests above those of other nations or groups.
This can find expression in the creation of a new nation or in splitting away part of an existing state to join with another that shares the perceived "national" identity.
Revolutionary Dedicated to the overthrow of an established order and replacing it with a new political or social structure. Although often associated with communist political ideologies, this is not always the case, and other political movements can advocate revolutionary methods to achieve their goals
Political Political ideologies are concerned with the structure and organization of the forms of government and communities. While observers outside terrorist organizations may stress differences in political ideology, the activities of groups that are diametrically opposed on the political spectrum are similar to each other in practice.
Religious Religiously inspired terrorism is on the rise. While Islamic terrorists and organizations have been the most publicized, all of the major world religions have extremists that have taken up violence to further their perceived religious goals.
Religiously motivated terrorists see their objectives as holy writ, and therefore infallible and non-negotiable
Social Often particular social policies or issues will be so contentious that they will incite extremist behavior and terrorism. Frequently this is referred to as "single issue" or "special interest" terrorism. Some issues that have produced terrorist activities in the United States and other countries include animal rights, abortion, ecology/environment, and minority rights.
Domestic These terrorists are "home-grown" and operate within and against their home country. They are frequently tied to extreme social or political factions within a particular society and focus their efforts specifically on their nation's socio-political arena.
International or
Transnational
Often describing the support and operational reach of a group, these terms are often loosely defined, and can be applied to widely different capabilities.
International groups typically operate in multiple countries but retain a geographic focus for their activities. Hezbollah has cells worldwide, and has conducted operations in multiple countries, but is primarily concerned with events in Lebanon and Israel.
Transnational groups operate internationally, but are not tied to a particular country, or even region. Al Qaeda is transnational; being made up of many nationalities, having been based out of multiple countries simultaneously, and conducting operations throughout the world. Their objectives affect dozens of countries with differing political systems, religions, ethnic compositions, and national interests

Domestic Terrorism in the United States
Domestic terrorism involves attacks within the United States perpetrated by homegrown groups or individuals. U.S. Code Title 18 Part I, Chapter 113b § 2331 defines domestic terrorism as activities that:
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
i. to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
ii. to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or iii. to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
Domestic Extremist and Hate Groups
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducted an analysis of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documentation related to domestic terrorism and developed the following categories for the various threat groups currently operating in the U.S.
Threat Group Category Definition
Racially or Ethnically
Motivated Violent
Extremism
Potentially unlawful use or threat of force or violence in furtherance of ideological agendas derived from bias, often related to race or ethnicity, held by the actor against others or a given population group. Such extremists purport to use both political and religious justifications to support their racially or ethnically-based ideological objectives and criminal activities.

Threat Group Category Definition
Anti-Government Or AntiAuthority Violent
Extremism
Potentially unlawful use or threat of force or violence in furtherance of ideological agendas derived from anti-government or anti-authority sentiment, including opposition to perceived economic, social, or racial hierarchies, or perceived government overreach, negligence, or illegitimacy.
Animal
Rights/Environmental
Violent Extremism
Potentially unlawful use or threat of force or violence in furtherance of ideological agendas by those seeking to end or mitigate perceived cruelty, harm, or exploitation of animals and/or the perceived exploitation or destruction of natural resources and the environment.
Abortion-Related Violent
Extremism
Potentially unlawful use or threat of force or violence in furtherance of ideological agendas relating to abortion, including individuals who advocate for violence in support of either pro-life or pro-choice beliefs.
All Other Domestic
Terrorism Threats
Potentially unlawful use or threat of force or violence in furtherance of ideological agendas which are not otherwise defined under or primarily motivated by one of the other domestic terrorism threat categories. Such agendas could flow from, but are not limited to, a combination of personal grievances and beliefs, including those described in the other domestic terrorism categories. Some actors in this category may also carry bias related to religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
Domestic Terrorist Incidents
According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, “There were 231 incidents (meaning attacks or plots) that met the definition of domestic terrorism between 2010 and 2021, according to DHS. They occurred across the United States, but the greatest number of incidents occurred in states with major metropolitan areas such as California (Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco), New York (New York City), and Washington, DC.” Figure 126: U.S. GAO - Domestic Terrorism Incidents by State, 2010 through 2021

2023 LVMCOG MJHMP.docx
The categories of incidents from 2010 to 2021
were led by Racially or Ethnically Motivated
and Anti-Government / Anti-Authority Violent
Extremists (RMVE).
Domestic Terrorism / Hate Group Examples
Examples of domestic terrorist / hate group
incidents include the following cases as
reported by DHS:
In March 2023, a RMVE driven by a belief
in the superiority of the white race was
arrested and charged with allegedly
attempting to use an improvised incendiary
device to burn down a church in Ohio that
was planning to host a drag-themed event.
In February 2023, two RMVEs driven by a belief in the superiority of the white race were arrested and are now awaiting trial for plotting an attack against electrical substations in Maryland. These arrests followed a series of recent attacks against electrical infrastructure, which some DVEs have praised and leveraged to call for more attacks on critical infrastructure. Since spring of 2022, alleged DVEs in Georgia have cited anarchist violent extremism, animal rights/environmental violent extremism, and anti-law enforcement sentiment to justify criminal activity in opposition to a planned public safety training facility in Atlanta. Criminal acts have included an alleged shooting and assaults targeting law enforcement and property damage targeting the facility, construction companies, and financial institutions for their perceived involvement with the planned facility.
Meanwhile, foreign terrorists continue to use media to call for lone offender attacks in the West, condemn US foreign policy, and attempt to expand their reach and grow global support networks. Most recently, in January 2023, an individual from Maine who was inspired by a variety of foreign terrorist content was charged with federal crimes for an attack on New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers during New Year’s Eve celebrations in Times Square.
Other examples of domestic terrorism events include:

Post 9/11
After September 11, 2001, the United States has increased its security policies and procedures at the national and local level. Since then, Federal Grants for counterterrorism have increased to approximately seventy-five billion dollars per year from federal and state governments according to Kim Murphy of Los Angeles Times in an article dated August 2011. These grants have provided local counties and cities funds to strengthen their security procedures, implement needed mitigation actions, or provide first responders with specialized training and equipment.
Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
Weapons of Mass Destruction are a specific type of threat that must be considered by any community. For the Las Virgenes-Malibu Region, this may involve the activation of a WMD within the area or a large-scale attack in a nearby location. Consequently, ongoing awareness and training of local emergency responders, government, and healthcare providers is important to ensure that such events are quickly identified and managed.
Five Types of WMD That Could be Used by Terrorists
WMD can be segregated into five categories using the acronym B-NICE: Biological, Nuclear, Incendiary, Chemical and Explosive.
1. Four common types of biological agents are bacteria, viruses, rickettsia, and toxins.
2. Nuclear terrorism can occur in two different ways.
a. Detonation or threat of detonation of a nuclear bomb b. Dispersion of radiological material using a conventional explosive or other dispersal device
3. An incendiary device is any mechanical, electrical, or chemical device used to intentionally initiate combustion and start a fire.
4. Chemical agents can be classified into five categories: nerve agents, blister agents, blood agents, choking agents, and irritating agents.
5. Explosive devices are the most common WMD (70% of all terrorist attacks).
While explosives are the most common method, any of the WMDs listed can be deployed at any time. Consequently, threat awareness and vigilance are critical to prevent future attacks.
In one well-known case a plot to detonate a car bomb at the Los Angeles International Airport was uncovered by an alert U.S. Customers inspector. On December 14, 1999, Ahmed Ressam (aka the Millennium Bomber) was arrested after a U.S. Customs inspector had his vehicle searched after he had successfully boarded a ferry from Canada to Port Angeles, Washington. The inspector is credited for noticing Ressam’s behavior as unusual and ordering a secondary customs search and a check of his passport. As a result, chemicals and explosive timing devices were found in the trunk of his vehicle and his passport was identified as counterfeit. Ressam was subsequently jailed and convicted on multiple counts.

Mass Violence
Defining Mass Violence
Mass violence involves shootings, car or truck attacks against pedestrians, and other targeting that results in harm to multiple victims. As defined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), an active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. The federal definition of “mass killings,” according to the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act is, “three or more killings in a single incident.” (not including the shooter).
Mass Violence Incidents in the United States
In 2022, the FBI designated 50 shootings as active shooter incidents. Although incidents decreased by 18% from 2021 (61 incidents), the number of active shooter incidents increased by 66.7% compared to 2018 (30 incidents).40 The 50 active shooter incidents in 2022 occurred in 25 states and the District of Columbia and represent seven location categories, including open spaces, commerce, residences, education, government, houses of worship, and a health care facility.

Since a terrorist or mass violence target will likely focus on public meeting venues, commercial structures, or transportation routes, the projected impact is focused on population and employment (see individual city Community Profile sections for population and economic data).
Risk of Future Terrorism / Mass Casualty
For the LVMCOG Region, the risk of future climate change events was estimated by the Working Group using the following weighted formula:
Risk = (0.45 x Probability) + (0.30 x Magnitude/Severity) + (0.15 x Warning Time) + (0.10 x Duration) Probability Magnitude / Severity Warning Time Duration

TERRORISM AND MASS VIOLENCE VULNERABILITIES
The probability that an individual or location will be targeted by a terrorist or mass violence perpetrator is a function of several factors including the attractiveness of target, the potential for success of the event and the potential for avoiding identification and capture. Categories of potential targets include:
Terrorism Targets Mass Violence Targets
Symbolic buildings
Federal, state, and local government buildings
including military sites and recruiting stations
Mass-transit facilities
Public buildings and assembly areas
Controversial businesses and defense industry
companies
Communications hubs
Utility production facilities and substations
Water supply locations
Research laboratories
Clinics and hospitals
Religious sites
Places where large groups of people congregate
Universities and college campuses
Schools
Businesses (any size or type)
Government offices
Military installations (including recruiting
offices)
Bars and night clubs
Theaters
Public parks
Shopping areas and malls
Stadiums and public arenas
Other places where large groups of people
congregate (e.g., public events such as fairs,
marathons, etc.)
Table 174: Terrorism and Mass Violence Targets
Impact on the Community
Following a terrorist attack or mass violence incident, panic, intense media interest, and the convergence of injured and possibly contaminated persons at local hospitals and urgent care centers can be expected. While local, state, and federal agencies will be mobilized to respond, it will take time for assistance to arrive. Many specialized resources (such as military or law enforcement agency response teams) may be needed, requiring local resources to manage the initial phases of an emergency – especially in the case of a mass casualty event. This initial response phase may range from hours to a day or more. Consequently, a rapid assessment of the scope of the incident and activation of local emergency response resources will be critical to manage the situation.
Key issues include:
Activation of local and regional Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) Designation of casualty collection points and field triage/treatment sites Transportation (for personnel, equipment, and supplies to the impact location as well as casualty and public evacuation)
Isolation (if needed to prevent further contamination) Use of personal protection equipment (PPEs)
Communications (including internal communication, media response, and public bulletins) Decontamination points (if required)
Establishing a secure perimeter
Post event site and public relations management

Efforts to assess the situation and provide clear, easy to follow emergency management instructions to the public are essential. The following table describes examples of the considerations expected during the initial stages of a terrorist event or mass casualty incident.
Condition Description
Down Wind
Evacuation
A large chemical or biological release may result in a lethal plume that may travel for miles. Emergency agencies in neighboring jurisdictions must be advised of the release and included in incident management activities.
Traffic Restrictions
and Congestion
Roads, freeways and transit systems may need to be closed to contain the incident. Regardless of the need, panic may cause some persons to selfevacuate, Traffic congestion and gridlock conditions and confusion may result.
These factors will slow response by emergency agencies and specialized resources to affected areas. Detailed traffic management plans will need to be developed.
Self-Transport to
Medical Providers
Following a WMD incident, injured and contaminated victims may leave the immediate site of the incident and then go to hospitals. In most cases, the care provider will not be equipped to decontaminate victims or treat terrorist attack related casualties. This can extend the scope of the incident, potentially lead to secondary contamination and strain local medical and emergency response resources. Local hospitals impacted by an influx of casualties who have not been decontaminated will have to establish decontamination area and may not be able to continue providing treatment.
For either a terrorist event or mass casualty incident, local hospitals may become overwhelmed with patients and be able to fully provide immediate care.
Public Panic In the immediate aftermath of a terrorist event involving a chemical or biologic agent, responders should anticipate people who think they have been exposed to or contaminated by the agent(s) even though there has been no actual exposure.
Provisions must be made to manage these persons and provide supportive care as necessary.
Similarly, during and after a terrorist event or mass casualty incident may become panicked regarding the status of family members and be traumatized. As a result, responders must consider how to appropriately manage concerned family while maintaining site security.
Scarce Supplies Equipment and supplies needed to manage the consequences of a terrorist event will be scarce. Sufficient pharmacological supplies may not be available.
Antidotes and other drugs used to treat WMD victims are usually not stockpiled in sufficient quantities for use in a mass casualty incident. Efforts to secure additional supplies will be an immediate need. Personnel involved in managing potential terrorist event must be aware of these concerns. Measures to address these issues must be incorporated into the Incident Action Plan and should be considered and assessed throughout the management of the WMD incident.

REGIONAL RESPONSE, MITIGATION, AND PREVENTION ACTIVITIES The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is the lead law enforcement agency for the region regarding terrorist events and mass casualty incidents. Individual cities will be responsible for consequence management. Currently the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s station and individual cities implement projects and or programs to help prevent a terrorist or mass casualty situation or be prepared if one were to occur. The following are practices or projects that are currently active in the Region.
Emergency Response Actions
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department acts as the lead agency for crisis management, perimeter security, access control, traffic/crowd control, evacuations, notifications, and safeguarding evidence. Crisis management activities may include:
Investigation, tracking, and maintaining scene integrity. Coordinating coroner issues with the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Department. Use of Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) or Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) units Assisting with damage assessment and fatalities management.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department is the lead agency for fire response, hazardous materials events, and medical/rescue operations. The County Fire Department provides support as necessary to the Sheriff for Crisis Management activities. Existing procedures, such as the Fire Department’s Hazardous Materials Response procedures and NBC Response Protocols are used as necessary.
The Fire Department assists with:
Fire and rescue operations
Emergency medical services coordination
Perimeter and access control
Evacuation operations
Notifications
Safeguarding evidence
Damage assessment
Fatalities management

Mitigation and Prevention
The following examples provide a summary of mitigation and prevention activities related to terrorism and mass casualty incidents in the Las Virgenes-Malibu Region.
Canine Unit
The Los Angeles County Sheriff maintains 5 specially training canines to detect explosives as part of the Arson/Explosive Detail and one chemical/biological threat K-9 as part of the Hazardous Materials Detail.
Equipment and JRIC
In September 2011, Los Angeles County received an $8.9 million grant from the Department of Homeland Security. The funds were a part of a 2010 federal grant of $69.9 million to the Los Angeles-Long Beach Urban Area. The grant was intended to address the unique equipment, training and planning needs of large urban areas in managing terrorism threats.41 The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department received the bulk of the $8.9 million grant and will use $6.2 million for equipment, such as an aerial video downlink technology, mobile surveillance cameras, tactical robots, radiation detection devices and bomb suits.
Nearly 70 percent of the total Los Angeles-Long Beach Urban Area funds were spent on the region’s Joint Regional Intelligence Center (JRIC). The JRIC is staffed by federal, state and local intelligence analysts and investigators responsible for the 44,000-square-mile territory surrounding Los Angeles. The JRIC opened in 2006 and is the largest of approximately 40 facilities nationwide and is used to coordinate data from 200 agencies in seven counties.
Terrorism Early Warning Group
In 1996, the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department established the Terrorism Early Warning (TEW) Group.42 The purpose of the TEW Group is to act as an interdisciplinary group in which local, state, and federal agencies work together to share information and combine resources, and to enhance the ability to identify and respond to acts and threats of terrorism. This interagency approach allows for early response and enforcement by clearing the communication channels between agencies and creating an environment that facilitates information and intelligence sharing.
The result is an effective network that has the ability to identify information which might indicate impending terrorist activity. This group is a significant resource for identifying and assessing potential threats, making appropriate notifications and recommendations, and aiding in mission planning and the efficient allocation of resources.

TERRORISM AND MASS CASUALTY INCIDENT MITIGATION STRATEGIES LVMCOG Mitigation Activities
The LVMCOG member cities continue to work with local law enforcement agencies such as the Los Angeles County Sheriff on planning efforts to prevent and/or mitigate the impact of terrorism and mass casualty incidents. Additionally, mitigation strategies that support multi-hazard events will also address terrorist response issues, e.g., increasing the effectiveness of communications and response. Finally, each city has active C.E.R.T. programs with volunteers trained to assist in disasters.
Agoura Hills
The City of Agoura Hills website provides emergency information for residents regarding different events. Further, the City web site provides Public Safety Resource links to essential information for a variety of situations, links to the Agoura Hills Ready-Know Your Zone, and the Go-To Evacuation Platform.
Calabasas
The City of Calabasas website provides numerous emergency preparedness information bulletins including an Emergency Preparedness Guide with information regarding Terrorism. Emergency warnings and information will be provided to the public in the event of a terrorist incident. This will be accomplished via the Calabasas website, CTV Channel-3, the City’s 1630 AM radio station.
Malibu
The City of Malibu maintains an ongoing Public Information Program that includes:
A monthly series on the City website that features a different theme each month. These are adapted from the monthly Emergency Survival Program bulletins on preparing for and responding to a variety of disasters including terrorism incidents. A series of messages on the City’s cable TV channel urge viewers to take emergency response training, to write a family emergency plan, and to contact the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for further information.
Ongoing meetings and presentations about emergency preparedness are made to the public at meetings of Homeowner’s Associations and Emergency Preparedness Fairs.
Emergency warnings and information will be provided to the public in the event of a terrorist incident. This will be accomplished via the City of Malibu website, Cable TV Channel-3, the City’s AM Radio Station (1620 AM), a telephone Hotline service (456-9982), a call center located at City’s Emergency Operations Center, and an email subscription service which notifies subscribers whenever emergency information is updated on the City website Westlake Village
The City of Westlake Village website provides numerous emergency preparedness information bulletins including the Los Angeles County Emergency Survival Guide with information regarding Terrorism. In addition, the City has an active C.E.R.T. program with volunteers trained to assist in disasters.

SECTION 17. ANNEX C: COMMUNITY DISASTER
PREPAREDNESS AND RISK SURVEY
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND RISK SURVEY RESULTS
A Disaster Preparedness Risk Survey was used to encourage public participation in mitigation planning and provide input into the Hazard Mitigation Planning process. The survey included questions regarding perceived risks, actual losses, and mitigation activities.
The survey also provided a forum for the public to provide their input on future planning efforts and enables emergency management personnel to better focus their mitigation efforts. The following tables provide the survey results. Surveys were made available online via each city’s website and social media platforms.
The data gathered was used to help local officials better plan for disasters as well as communicate with citizens and educate residents on mitigation steps to reduce the risk of loss. The survey was administered and maintained by MLC and Associates. A total of 116 completed surveys were received. The results of the survey are provided below. In some cases, comments were summarized, consolidated, and edited for clarity.

Value Count Percent
Lack of funds / High costs 32 31.4%
Lack of knowledge / A need for more information on what to do 35 34.3% Lack of time 37 36.3%
Lack of motivation or interest 15 15.7%
A need for additional community provided resources such as (Emergency Shelter, Improved Emergency Notification Capabilities, Evacuation Plan) 55 55.9% Other 20 19.6%
Other obstacles include:
Being a renter, I cannot damage walls by
securing furniture
Blocked evacuation routes
Community provided power source for
MBC power outages
Emergency shelter
Evacuation plan
It's not that I'm not motivated or
interested… it's that it's overwhelming so
it's just not something I am 100% up on.
Lack of interest by local elected officials
Lack of roads to get out of our community
Limited home space
Panic caused by fire evacuation and
obligation to save properties from fire
Pet inclusive locations for shelter and
housing
Physical limitations
Procrastination
Retaining the survivor mentality
Other resources needed include:
CERT class was hugely helpful, and should
be better advertised
City of Malibu needs to provide more upto-the-minute notification of natural disasters (as well as car-related accidents)
Enforcement of removal of target trees
from landscape in high fire areas by LAFD
Most concerned that the community has the
day 5+ resources

15. List other significant hazards or events that you are concerned about. Note: Responses were edited and summarized to consolidate similar comments.
Air Quality
All the gases and toxic fumes coming from synthetic lawns! Landfill fine particulate matter/off gassing/etc., for air quality and children's development Corruption
Corruption compromising the emergency responders
Communication
Breakdowns in emergency communications
Lack of cell service in our neighborhood
Crime
Crime in Calabasas. I have lived here for 40 years, and the world changed a lot. Crime unchecked by laws and DA
Domestic violence extremism
Escalation of unchecked crime and immigration of tax base out of the area / California Home invasion
Debris
I also feel that too much debris on Kanan needs to be trimmed now as well as on Electric poles need to be removed. It's just so frustrating.
Evacuation
Can't get out of the area in case of a fire
Evacuation routes in a disaster
Evacuation - clear streets and paths are needed with no restriction by reduction in lanes for traffic calming in Westlake Village. Just look at Woolsey Fire, Paradise and Lahaina and the deaths to people evacuating. Understanding that in addition to the fact that nonresidents will use our streets for evacuation as well as us and we need clear paths to evacuate.
Panic caused by fire evacuations. There are many exists on Fountainwood and Morrison ranch.
Fire
Another fire like Woolsey
Concerned that those living near me don't do their fire clearance and officials don't hold them accountable for the safety of the community.
Fire evacuation
Lack of fire hydrant access to our location in our community

Home Insurance
A lack of organization or a strategy for ensuring adequate homeowners insurance including fire. This needs to be a priority.
Inability to secure adequate fire insurance
Homelessness
Homeless issues involving safety and sanitation
The hazards that concern me are allowing the homeless and campers to live on the side of road on Kanan near Ladyface Mountain. I found it very challenging to deal with Lost Hills Sheriff who didn't want to cooperate making it a political issue and deferring to other agencies such as the Rangers or Highway Patrol. I kept saying, we do not need another Woolsey fire. BTW, I live in Agoura Hills in the unincorporated area of LA County. We should be included as part of this survey for the future. We are just as concerned as your neighbors. I live in Malibu View Estates at the top of Kanan south.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure in place to allow timely rebuild
Structural collapse of retaining wall due to a natural or even a man-made disaster Overpopulation
Growing & overpopulation of areas that don't have ample escape routes Senior population
Our communities have senior citizens who live alone who should be accounted for ahead of any disaster so that help can be on the lookout to assist in case of an emergency. LA county agencies and city agencies should work together with all hands on deck? Water Supply
Loss of municipal water supply/long term
Water supply reduction
Weather
Carrington event
Severe thunderstorms causing major leaks
Other
Financial meltdown
Per Woolsey Fire after action report, Law Enforcement and Fire Fighters will not be available to assist us in initial stages of the incident. We further need a Warning System other than by cell or e mail. What about AM radio? What if we lose power and battery backups are depleted? How does City manage incident if City Hall is evacuated? More preparedness on the part of our City is needed.
Poisoned animals in the food chain due to use of non organic chemicals! Political Instability
Secondary disaster due to lack of preparedness

16. What actions can local government take to help you become better prepared for disasters? Note: Responses were edited and summarized to consolidate similar comments.
Communication
24-hour prompt notifications of natural disasters, car accidents, and street closures Better and more coordinated communication and plans
Better communication. Improved access to public officials. Improved social media and television alerts.
Better outreach and communication with all residents in every part of the city. The most vulnerable in Calabasas are on the west side and no outreach here at all. Clear idea where emergency shelters would be
Communication means that are effective during power and internet outages Coordinated efforts between city and county; communication on who has the most reliable information and resources.
Find ways to get more people signed up for mass notification systems for their respective local jurisdiction.
Get us the most recent information
Hold meetings for residents to attend showing us how to get prepared Improved Web GIS Apps that could be used in a cellular network in an emergency, similar to VC Emergency in Ventura County.
Learn how to receive communication when power is unavailable Make sure we get as much advance notice as possible
More clarity from Cal Fire and LACOFD about brush clearance rules, especially Zone 0 Provide clarity on the day 5 plan and how we will have medical services here Provide more information during and after an event
Providing evacuation and shelter information when phone service is disrupted Send out more info on the subjects!
Community Engagement and Support
Help senior citizens and include both unincorporated areas of LA county as well as city government in the plans. It would be much more cohesive. Keep public awareness up front
Evacuation and Shelter
Appropriate evacuation plan
Earlier requirement for mandatory evacuations
Evacuation plans, brush removal, more streamlined services, water access Have a designated public shelter in open air
More escape routes during a disaster
Well coordinated evacuation plans that are executed earlier in an emergency. Too often left until last minute.

Infrastructure
Add more infrastructure to relieve the traffic during an event Focus on our community infrastructure
Invest in the infrastructure. Agoura Hills takes very little care of everything having to do with the building and walls. Walls will come down during an earthquake.
Resources and Supplies
Assist with power generation- That's a BIG issue!
Community supplies and shelter
Continuously publish lists of what to do and items to keep on hand. Don't make us go to a different source to find that.
Easily accessible resources for the public
Give each home a check list and provide online education on how to obtain items cost effectively
Help with understanding their disaster plan.
Information on where our evacuation plans are
Offer resource lists (or magnets) for home
Pass out check-lists of what should be done in our homes prior to a disaster to ensure more safety during a disaster
Provide some supplies to people who are financially insecure, and also provide handyman services for tasks such as securing furniture for those who cannot do it themselves and cannot afford to have someone else do it. Maybe do an outreach by neighborhood. Repeated Community rollout of Emergency plans and guidelines. Sell packages for emergencies at a reasonable price
Send out an information pamphlet with important tips and info We have just been told by our homeowner insurance (Allstate) that we must box our eaves or they will not renew our policy. It would be great if Calabasas could provide helpful info about getting this work done (for example trusted local contractors; if permits are needed, expected costs). Also if there are things that the community is doing to earn a Firewise or shelter in place designation. The ability to get homeowner insurance is at a crisis. With the resources of Calabasas could more be done to advocate and educate on this topic? I appreciate the fire and emergency education already in place but it might be time to take it up a notch.
Safety Measures
Actually implement the supposed preparedness. Could hire agencies that can assist with this. Help residents and don’t forget about them in the aftermath. Curtail building of high density developments along Las Virgenes Rd Get a group fire insurance policy for city residents to opt into that's better than the California FAIR Plan or offers discounts
Have a realistic plan and help people. We were left alone and on our own in last fire. City, police and government failed us.
Help identify senior citizen residents by giving flags to place outside their homes if needed Improve cell service in our neighborhood
Require resilient materials for building and enforce target species removal from yards 583

Training and Education
CERT classes (i.e., First Aid, rescue from structures, emergency food supplies) CERT/Disaster training should include formation and ongoing training of neighborhood emergency teams based on location of residence. Portland, OR, is a great example to follow in this area.
City needs to publicize the CERT program as a way to help individuals/families prepare themselves. I've taken it but the marketing seems geared towards being a CERT volunteer not just becoming a CERT savvy individual/family member/neighbor. Classes on preparedness
Have more CERT trainings and even single day trainings that just review all the important aspects of disaster preparedness. Not everyone has the time to commit to a multiple week CERT program.
Hold meetings to prepare our community
Set up groups to teach what to prepare and how to use certain tools (i.e., gas shut off valve) Wildfire Mitigation
Bring goats in to eat and clear the brush around our neighborhood Brush clearance of open space around DeAnza Park and the LVMWD site Fining property owners who don't do brush clearance
Removal of wood and plastic fencing that act as fire corridors during a wildfire. Our city has shelter and evacuation plans already.
Other
Alert systems are most important, don’t over populate with mass housing, if you do, it becomes very difficult for people to evacuate without complete chaos, this will then result in deaths
Encourage other community members to be prepared so that together we are a resilient community
Funding of staff and training
How do local governments make the public utilities especially Edison, more accountable for providing a reliable service that is not responsible for starting major fires? I want more police patrols of the ralphs and vons shopping center. A lot of people are stealing from our local stores!
More focus and interest
One stop shop for disaster communications to citizens with access via callin/messages/radio station/website etc that links all relevant departments filtering into a singular "voice" that gives clear actionable communication, isn't sugar coated, runs realtime, and uses A.I. for answering follow up questions, enables filtering user reports to appropriate leadership, monitoring of resources/personnel movements/traffic flow/weather/etc. Could be great to use A.I. predictive modeling hand in hand with training to stress test and explore different probabilities of outcomes for different disasters using relevant data of that community. Discover and address the bottlenecks and provide local responders feedback for efficacy. Maybe a know your neighbor and know the needs for different disaster PSA for civilians. There seemed to be a disconnect with appropriate 584

actions en masse with for example, the toilet paper hoarding and actual beneficial actions in times of uncertainty like Covid lockdown. Education/re-education isn't always bad. Easy to access information and even an online pick your disaster (morbid I know) and check list and make an action plan app would be cool. That way you can revisit your tailored action plan if something comes up. That's all I got!
Westlake Village did an excellent job of keeping residents informed during the 2018 Woolsey fire. They kept us informed about the hurriquake. I trust if there's another danger they will do the same.
Work closely with the county Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD).
Become familiar with grants that will be available and disaster housing needs. Each city should be receptive to a presentation and becoming familiar with the VOAD and the LA Community Recovery Organization (LARCRO) which establishes and mentors community long term recovery groups. Ensure each city has a strong relationship to their LOCAL Community Foundation. These non-government organizations are the key to empowering the community to own its recovery sustainably.

SECTION 19. ANNEX E: PLANNING AND PUBLIC
INVOLVEMENT
MITIGATION PLANNING
Representatives from each city within the Las Virgenes-Malibu Council of Governments regularly meet to discuss mitigation efforts and plan future activities. As members of Disaster Management Area B, each city participates in quarterly planning meetings as well as post-DMA meetings with LVMCOG member cities (see Annex B: Meeting Agendas and Attendees section for details).
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND INVOLVEMENT
The public participated in the original Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) and each subsequent update. Public participation was enabled through a variety of means that included:
An online Community Disaster Preparedness Risk Survey Public Bulletins including Public Service Announcements (PSAs), City Web Pages, City Social Media, and Local News as well as Ongoing Preparedness and Mitigation Events Public Workshops
City Council and Safety Committee Meetings
Community Disaster Preparedness and Risk Survey
A survey was published via city websites, social media platforms, public workshops, and during community training events to allow members of the community to provide their input on local area hazards, preparedness efforts, suggestions for mitigation and improvement, and the historic consequences of disasters. The data gathered was used to help local officials better plan for disasters and was a vital component in further developing local mitigation efforts that are designed to help reduce the risk of loss to lives and property. A total of 116 completed surveys were received. The results of the survey are provided in Annex C Community Disaster Preparedness and Risk Survey.
Public Service Bulletins, City Web Pages, City Social Media, and Local News In addition to the Community Disaster Preparedness and Risk Survey, each city distributes Emergency and Disaster Mitigation information via their websites, city-operated television channels, and social media platforms. Copies of the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan are made available on each City’s website. The public is invited to download and review the plans and provide their comments. Furthermore, the public is invited to participate in mitigation and training events (as applicable) during the year (see Public Emergency Preparedness and Mitigation Workshops section below) which are advertised via local news, City web sites, and social media.

Public Emergency Preparedness and Mitigation Events
National Preparedness Month
The annual National Preparedness Month is held every September. The cities within the LVMCOG utilize this month to further promote public awareness, disaster preparedness, and mitigation planning in the community.
For example, the City of Malibu conducts a speakers series during National Preparedness Month which that includes programs to educate the public, obtain public participation, and further promote mitigation efforts.
Likewise, the other cities within the LVMCOG conduct similar public outreach events to promote preparedness and mitigation.

CERT Programs
Each city has established Community Emergency Response Team programs that encourage preparedness, planning, and mitigation. These teams meet on a regular basis at the neighborhood level. The CERT training program was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and modeled after the original 1985 programs used by the City of Los Angeles Fire Department. The purpose of the CERT program is to create a well-trained citizen emergency work force which is vital in the immediate aftermath of disaster situations when the number and scope of incidents overwhelm conventional emergency services. During CERT meetings, local residents are trained in various skills to better respond to disasters. These meetings are also used to share information on preparedness and mitigation planning.

Obtain ideas for improvement.
Q&A
Purpose of the Workshop:
To review disaster preparedness and mitigation issues in the local community and the updated Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Workshop Results
The main feedback and results received during the meeting included:
In general, the attendees agreed with the results of the Public Risk Survey:
o Wildfire is the primary concern especially since all the communities within the LVMCOG have a high potential for wildfire.
o Next, the following hazards concerns were ranked (in order) Earthquake, Extended Powe Outage, Drought/Climate Change/Extreme Heat, Cyber Security, Terrorism/Mass Casualty Event, Pandemic, Windstorm, Hazardous Materials Release, Landslide/Debris Flow/Mudslide, Severe Winter Storm, Flood, and Coastal Erosion. Overall, attendees were concerned about the availability of homeowners insurance and the high cost of insurance. In fact, it was noted that several large insurance carriers have left the state and that the cost of homeowners insurance has risen geometrically over the past several years. Consequently, attendees suggested developing efforts to assist in securing reliable homeowners insurance for residents
Other common concerns by the workshop attendees included the local homeless population which included the increased risk of wildfires starting at homeless encampments as well as the increase in crime throughout the region.
Finally, several attendees mentioned their concerns about the adequacy of evacuation routes and planning, especially if another major wildfire occurs in the area (similar to the Woolsey Fire). While each city has established evacuation routes, additional focus was suggested to ensure that traffic management strategies are in place as well as debris removal plans to clear roads and facilitate the evacuation process.

Integration of Public Input into the Hazard Mitigation Plan The input received from the public at the Preparedness and Mitigation Planning Workshops was integrated into this Hazard Mitigation Plan update including the Risk Assessment (see Section 3) and Hazard Mitigation Strategies and Projects (see Section 4). The Risk Assessment hazards list was updated and the public’s concerns were used to confirm the priorities developed by the LVMCOG Governing Board and Planning Group.
Furthermore, additional risk sections were developed to address the risk of Energy Disruption (e.g., utility outages) and Climate Change.
The Hazard Mitigation Strategies and Projects were reviewed and when feasible those ideas that related to hazard mitigation were integrated into the existing mitigation project strategies. Specific issues included were:
o Improved Public Awareness Programs.
o Further development of CERT programs.
o Working with SCE to address concerns related to Energy Disruptions and Wildfire risk. 616

SECTION 20. ANNEX F: FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAPS
This section provides selected Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for the cities within the Las Virgenes-Malibu Council of Governments. This information is provided for planning purposes and is not a predictor of future events. The following FIRM notes apply to the maps included.
NOTES TO USERS
This map is for use in administering the National Flood Insurance Program. It does not necessarily identify all areas subject to flooding, particularly from local drainage sources of small size. The community map repository should be consulted for possible updated or additional flood hazard information.
To obtain more detailed information in areas where Base Flood elevations (BFEs) and/or floodways have been determined, users are encouraged to consult the Flood Profiles and Floodway Data and/or Summary of Stillwater Elevations tables contained within the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report that accompanies this FIRM. Users should be aware that BFEs shown on the FIRM represent rounded wholefoot elevations. These BFEs are intended for flood insurance rating purposes only and should not be used as the sole source of flood elevation information. Accordingly, flood elevation data presented in the FIS report should be utilized in conjunction with the FIRM for purposes of construction and/or floodplain management.
Coastal Base Flood Elevations shown on this map apply on landward of 0.0’ North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Users of this FIRM should be aware that coastal flood elevations are also provided in the Summary of Stillwater Elevations table in the Flood Insurance Study report for this jurisdiction. Elevations shown in the Summary of Stillwater Elevations table should be used for construction and/or floodplain management purposes when they are higher than the elevations shown on this FIRM.
Boundaries of the floodways were computed at cross sections and interpolated between cross sections.
The floodways were based on hydraulic considerations with regard to requirements for the National Flood Insurance Program. Floodway widths and other pertinent floodway data are provided in the Flood Insurance Study report for this jurisdiction.
Certain areas not in Special Flood Hazard Areas may be protected by flood control structures. Refer to Section 2.4 “Flood Protection Measures” of the Flood Insurance Study report for information on flood control structures for this jurisdiction.
The projection used in the preparation of this map was Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone 11. The horizontal datum was NAD83, GRS1980 spheroid. Differences in datum, spheroid, projection or UTM zones used in the production of FIRMs for adjacent jurisdictions may result in slight positional differences in map features across jurisdiction boundaries. These differences do not affect the accuracy of this FIRM.
Flood elevations on this map are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. These flood elevations must be compared to structure and ground elevations referenced to the same vertical datum. For information regarding conversion between the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988, visit the National Geodetic Survey website at http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/ or contact the National Geodetic Survey at the following address:

To obtain current elevation description, and/or location information for bench marks shown on this map, please contact the Information Services Branch of the National Geodetic Survey at (301) 713-3242, or visit its website at http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/.
Base map information shown on this FIRM was derived from U.S. Geological Survey Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles produced at a scale of 1:12,000 from photography dated 1994 or later and from National Geospatial Intelligence Agency imagery produced at a scale of 1:4,000 from photography dated 2003 or later.
This map reflects more detailed and up-to-date stream channel configurations than those shown on the previous FIRM for this jurisdiction. The floodplains and floodways that were transferred from the previous FIRM may have been adjusted to conform to these new stream channel configurations. As a result, the Flood Profiles and Floodway Data tables in the Flood Insurance Study report (which contains authoritative hydraulic data) may reflect stream channel distances that differ from what is shown on this map.
Corporate limits shown on this map are based on the best data available at the time of publication. Because changes due to annexations or de-annexations may have occurred after this map was published, map users should contact appropriate community officials to verify current corporate limit locations.
Pease refer to the separately printed Map Index for an overview map of the county showing the layout of map panels; community map repository addresses; and a Listing of Communities table containing National Flood Insurance Program dates for each community as well as a listing of the panels on which each community is located.
Contact the FEMA Map Service Center at 1-800-358-9616 for information on available products associated with this FIRM. Available products may include previously issued Letters of Map Change, a Flood insurance Study report, and/or digital versions of this map. The FEMA Map Service Center may also be reached by Fax at 1-800-358-9620 and its website at http://www.msc.fema.gov/.
If you have questions about this map or questions concerning the National Flood Insurance Program in general, please call 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627) or visit the FEMA website at http://www.fema.gov/. 618

Date prepared: July 11, 2024 Meeting date: August 26, 2024 Subject: Disposal of Surplus Equipment – Fleet Vehicles RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the disposal of surplus City equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional appropriation is required. There will be minimal impact from this action. If the vehicle is sold at auction, the City could receive up to $500 or more for the surplus items. This amount is typical of previous City owned vehicles sold at auction.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2023-24 Strategic Priority Project List. Staff continue to work on ongoing projects and normal business while the FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Plan is finalized.
DISCUSSION: Council Policy #39 requires the City Council to determine that equipment is surplus prior to its disposal.
The City currently owns a 2012 Ford Focus and 2013 Ford Escape as part of the City’s fleet. The vehicle mileage for these two vehicles is 81,870 (Focus) and 89,757 (Escape), however both vehicles are no longer operating properly and due to ongoing maintenance costs. The cost for repairs and maintenance exceeds the vehicle’s current value. Staff recommends auctioning the surplus vehicle and has located an auction service that will pick up and handle the disposition of the vehicle. The cost to use the auction service is approximately $650 and 10% of the amount the vehicle sells for. For example, if the vehicle sells for $5,000 the City will receive $3,850 and the auction service will receive $500 as its 10% commission and $650 for the transport and other fees.

Date prepared: August 6, 2024 Meeting date: August 26, 2024 Subject: Small Enterprises Agreement with Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the Mayor to execute a Small Enterprise Agreement with Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) for geographic Information system (GIS) mapping services.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional appropriation is required. This agreement is for a total amount of $48,000. The funding for the first year of this agreement is included in the Adopted Budget for FY 2024-25 in Account No. 602-7060-7500 (GIS Software). Funding for the second and third year will be included in future budgets.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2023-24 Strategic Priority Project List. Staff continue to work on ongoing projects and normal business while the FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Plan is finalized.
DISCUSSION: GIS systems are designed to manage, analyze, and present all types of geographical data. Many state and local governmental agencies use GIS platforms to improve their operations and enhance services provided to the public.
The City entered into a Small Enterprise Agreement with ESRI in June 2021 which has now expired. ESRI provides a GIS platform to City staff and the community through an external website. The community can access the GIS mapping platform from the City’s website that provides a method for the public to view Planning data such as zoning, City Parks, trails, public schools, FEMA maps, and Tsunami zones.
ESRI also provides detailed GIS mapping platform for City staff. Various City departments access this GIS mapping platform to review development projects, to identify addresses City Council Meeting

to send out information about community programs, events and notices, research property data and view various mapping elements.
The ESRI GIS platform allows the City to integrate additional data to provide a more robust communication tool to provide information for the community and City staff. It is very user friendly and will provide the City the opportunity to create specific maps that are easy to understand and navigate. The ESRI GIS platform will:
• Improve access to City data, initiatives, projects, and service information for the community and City staff.
• Provide the ability to create maps that will provide specific graphical information to the public and City staff. Examples include current construction projects, maps showing existing infrastructure and assets, FEMA Flood Maps, fire evacuation zones, zoning maps, building permits, and storm drain maps. • Provide the ability of field staff to collect field data information and to display that information on a map.
• Readily access relevant location data that will enhance internal collaboration and communication with the public for daily operation and emergency events. • Provide the ability to create maintenance work plans and send to staff. • Provide the ability to easily create maps from a variety of data sources. Los Angeles County – parcel data and imagery
Cal OES (Natural Hazard), Cal Fire (Wildfire), NOAA (weather), USGS (earthquake and tsunami), FEMA (flood maps)
Existing facilities from utility companies
The ESRI GIS platform will enable compatibility with similar systems in neighboring jurisdiction, thereby enabling data sharing. GIS integrations are becoming more integral into software systems and essential City functions. Systems such as permitting and project tracking systems as well as asset management tools can be integrated into ESRI’s GIS platform. This GIS system will be a vital part of the City’s new permitting software and can be integrated into ESRI’s GIS platform. All City permits could be linked to a map and staff could access the data, even in the field.
The ESRI GIS platform will assist the City with informed decision making, manage day-today operations, optimize service delivery, and improve community engagement. By executing the proposed agreement with ESRI, the City can implement and develop more mapping information to the community, provide a better resource tool for City staff, and will be saving funds.
