Development Trends: Since vulnerability to extreme weather is citywide, future development trends are not expected to impact the vulnerability to extreme weather. New development is shown in Appendix C.

10.2.1 EXTREME WEATHER VULNERABILITY – POTENTIAL LOSS
Multiple structures throughout the city have the potential to be impacted by extreme weather. For example, if a lightning event were to damage the Conference and Recreation Center, located on Frederick Street, the potential loss could be from structural and infrastructure damage. The value of the building is $12,252,110 (does not include contents). It is estimated that the potential loss could be 1% of the value, which would be $122,521. There are no known repetitive loss properties.

CHAPTER 12: DAM FAILURE/INUNDATION
Moreno Valley Rating: Severity = 2 Probability = 2

12.1 DAM FAILURE/INUNDATION PROFILE – OVERVIEW
Dam inundation is a potential flood hazard in several portions of Moreno Valley from two dams: Pigeon Pass Dam (Poorman’s Reservoir) and Perris Dam.

Pigeon Pass Dam: Failure of the Pigeon Pass Dam (Poorman’s Reservoir) could result in extensive flooding along the downstream watercourse. The risk of flooding due to dam failure is limited to the period during and immediately after major storms. The reservoir does not retain water throughout the year.

Perris Dam: Failure of the Perris Dam would only affect a very small area south of Nandina Avenue along the Perris Valley Storm Drain and the Mystic Lake area in the southeast corner of Moreno Valley.

In 2005, a study by the state found that the Perris Dam likely would crumble in the range of a 7.5 magnitude earthquake, unleashing billions of gallons of water across western Riverside County. After that, the lake was dropped 25 feet to a safer level and will remain there until repairs can be completed. The seismic repairs began in October 2014 and have been completed.
64 During remediation, the state injected cement and soil into the deepest and most unstable parts of the dam's foundation so it will better withstand shaking from an earthquake. A stability berm was built on top of the new foundation, allowing the lake to be taken to its previous level. A new outlet tower to funnel lake water into the regional drinking water system was also built.

A two-mile-long emergency channel has been constructed next to the Ramona Expressway so large water releases during a disaster would mostly be directed away from neighborhoods and into a storm drain.

The Perris dam constantly assessed and monitored.

OCCURRENCES
There are no previous occurrences of dam failure/inundation.

12.1.2 DAM FAILURE/INUNDATION PROFILE – PROBABILITY OF

FUTURE EVENTS
The probably rating for this hazard is a 2, which means that there is between a 1% and 10% chance that it will occur within the next year.

12.2 DAM FAILURE/INUNDATION VULNERABILITY –

OVERVIEW/IMPACT
The severity rating for this hazard is a 2, which means that there is a potential for limited damage, causing injuries and/or illnesses, complete shutdown of critical facilities for more than one week and/or 10% of property is severely damaged.

For information about flooding, see Chapter 6. Dam failure/inundation could cause cascading hazards such flooding, pipeline hazards, transportation, power outages and hazardous materials incidents.

Impact to Population and Structures: The population in the dam inundation areas could be requested to evacuate. Seniors and individuals with access and functional needs may need special assistance to evacuate. An evacuation map (Figure 12-2) shows the nearby population to the inundation area. There could be damage to structures in the inundation areas affected by flood waters.

Impact to Essential Facilities/Historical Sites: Failure of the Perris Dam would only affect a very small area south of Nandina Avenue along the Perris Valley Storm Drain and the Mystic Lake area in the Southeast corner of Moreno Valley.

While two schools, Rancho Verde High School, and El Potrero Elementary School, are not located in the inundation area, they may be impacted by an evacuation. The schools near (not in) the inundation area is shown on the evacuation map (Figure 12-2). No historical sites are within the dam inundation area.

Impact to Infrastructure: An evacuation could impact transportation routes.

Development Trends: Future development will result in an increased demand for flood control and drainage services. Moreno Valley participates in the NFIP as well as the voluntary CRS, which is administered by FEMA. The NFIP program provides federal flood insurance and federally financed loans for property owners in flood prone areas. For more information about the city’s participation in NFIP and CRS, see Chapter 20.4: National Flood Insurance Program. To qualify for A.12.a

federal flood insurance, the city must identify flood hazard areas and implement a system of protective controls. In addition, all development is required to comply with Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District requirements for construction of master drainage plan facilities. New development is shown in Appendix C.

12.2.1 DAM FAILURE/INUNDATION VULNERABILITY – POTENTIAL LOSS
f a dam failure occurred at Perris Dam, the potential loss would be limited to a very small area south of Nandina Avenue along the Perris Valley Storm Drain in the southeast corner of Moreno Valley. See Chapter 6 for losses related to flooding.

There are no repetitive loss properties.

CHAPTER 13: PIPELINE
MORENO VALLEY RATING: SEVERITY = 2 PROBABILITY = 2

13.1 PIPELINE PROFILE – OVERVIEW
Natural gas, oil, water, and sewer are transported via pipeline, mostly by underground pipes in developed and urban areas.

Water: Most of the city’s water is imported via the California Aqueduct from northern and central California. Box Springs Mutual Water Company serves a small portion of the community, while Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) has been the primary purveyor of water in Moreno Valley since the early 195066.

EMWD completed a major water supply line along Perris Boulevard in 1954 through which water became available in 1955. The existing water companies were responsible for connecting to the main water supply system, including the Edgemont Gardens Mutual Water Company and the Sunnymead Mutual Water Company. An underground segment of the aqueduct runs from the northwest corner of Moreno Valley to Lake Perris. Water from Lake Perris is pumped to the Mills Filtration Plant in the City of Riverside before it is distributed to Moreno Valley customers.

Natural Gas: The Southern California Gas Company maintains a comprehensive system of distribution and service lines throughout the city. In addition to local lines, two major 30-foot-wide transmission lines cross Moreno Valley. Line number “2001” is located on Cottonwood Avenue and line number “2000” is located on Brodiaea Avenue. Both lines run east-west through the entire city.

There are also 8-inch and 12-inch major distribution supply lines located on Indian Avenue, running north from Brodiaea Ave through Moreno Valley. All of these are considered “high-pressure” lines, meaning that they contain over 60 pounds per square inch (psi).

There is also an aviation fuel line that runs through Moreno Valley, however, this line no longer provides fuel to March Air Reserve Base. 66 https://www.socalgas.com/ Retrieved July 2022

Located in the city, the Moreno Valley Pressure Limiting Station (PLS) is capable of receiving 800 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of natural gas at 850 pounds per square inch gage (PSIG) from the Adelanto Compressor Station. The Moreno Valley PLS will allow gas from the new Adelanto to Moreno Pipeline and from the new Moreno to Whitewater Pipeline to flow into any of the existing lines at the Moreno Valley PLS.67
Sewer: Eastern Municipal Water District operates over 356 miles of sewer mains (12” and above) and six sewage lift stations to provide wastewater collection services within Moreno Valley. All wastewater is collected and conveyed to the Moreno Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility located in the southwestern portion of the city and has a capacity to treat 16 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) and a capacity to expand to 41 mgd. Sewer services for the southwestern Moreno Valley are provided by the Edgemont Community Services District. The District provides wastewater treatment under contract with the City of Riverside. According to the District, the pipes that transmit sewage to the City of Riverside Water Quality Control Plant are over 50 years old and are in need of repair.

asked to drink bottled water or to boil their water before drinking if sewage were to contaminate the water. Damage to structures and/or property may occur.

Impact to Essential Facilities/Historical Sites: Essential facilities and/or historical sites could be affected by pipeline incidents. Pipeline incidents could hinder emergency operations due to lack of water or evacuation of essential facilities.

Impact to Infrastructure: A pipeline incident would have a large effect on infrastructure. For instance, a sewer line rupture could contaminate water; a water line rupture could limit emergency responder’s ability to fight fires; and a natural gas rupture could cause fires, evacuations and more.

Development Trends: An increase in development is expected to result in incremental increased demand for infrastructure. Future planned development is expected to be constructed utilizing Uniform Building Codes and design standards. New development is shown in Appendix C.

13.2.1 PIPELINE VULNERABILITY – POTENTIAL LOSS
Multiple structures throughout the city have the potential to be impacted by pipeline vulnerabilities. For example, if a gas line explosion were to occur at City Hall, the damage to the building and infrastructure could be significant and is estimated at $20 million. Additionally, a mainline event could disrupt gas delivery to and from the Adelanto area. There are no known repetitive loss properties.

CHAPTER 14: TRANSPORTATION
MORENO VALLEY RATING: SEVERITY = 2 PROBABILITY = 2

14.1 TRANSPORTATION PROFILE – OVERVIEW
The City of Moreno Valley has an extensive transportation network that includes state highways, arterials and local streets, public transit, and nearby rail. For purposes of this plan, transportation emergencies involve highways, arterials, and surface streets, as well as rail and air.

Highways and Arterials - SR-60 is a major regional east-west highway linking Moreno Valley to both neighboring and outlying communities. Additional regional east-west travel is provided by Box Springs Road/Ironwood Avenue, Sunnymead Boulevard and Alessandro Boulevard, all of which are maintained by the city.

Sunnymead Boulevard serves as the traditional commercial corridor of Moreno Valley. Alessandro Boulevard serves as a major commercial and industrial corridor at its westerly end. Other major east-west routes within the city include Eucalyptus Avenue; Cottonwood Avenue; and Cactus Avenue.

I-215 is immediately to the west of the city and is the primary regional route for north-south travel linking Moreno Valley to both neighboring and outlying communities. Additional regional north-south routes include Perris Boulevard, Heacock Street, Redlands Boulevard, and Gilman Springs Road. Other northsouth access is provided by Moreno Beach Drive and Pigeon Pass Road/Frederick Street.

Rail - The nearest railway is the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway which runs parallel to I-215. A major train derailment could impact the City of Moreno Valley if the crash involved a hazardous materials spill.

Air - There is an airfield located southwest of the city limits. The airfield is operated by two entities: March Air Reserve Base and the March Inland Port Airport Authority. The land at each end of the runway is subject to significant danger of aircraft accidents during takeoff and landing, or by collision. The land below the landing approach is designated as the clear zone and is located at the northeast corner of Heacock Street and Oleander Avenue in the city.

Packet Pg. 525 Attachment: CITY OF MORENO VALLEY LHMP_APRIL 19 2023_FINAL (6264 : RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE CITY OF MORENO VALLEY LOCAL Moreno Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan
Revised: December 2022

Air crash zones are mapped into various categories: areas on or adjacent to the runway; areas within the areas within the clear zone; Accident Potential Zone (APZ) I; and Accident Potential Zone (APZ) II. The risk is greatest immediately under the takeoff and landing zone located at either end of the runway(s). The accident potential within the clear zone, which extends 3,000 feet from each end of the runway, is considered to be of such high risk that few uses are acceptable.

A small area at the extreme southwest corner of the city is within the clear zone.

complete shutdown of critical facilities for two weeks and/or 25% to 49% of property is severely damaged. Power outages could cause cascading hazards such as transportation incidents, civil unrest, and disease.

Loss of electric power could have a major impact on the City of Moreno Valley and its citizens.

Impact to Population and Structures: The impact to the population from loss of power may include disruption of power to critical medical devices. Medical conditions could be affected by an increase of temperatures due to loss of the use of air conditioners or fans. Loss of lighting and the inability to keep perishables refrigerated would also impact the population. Structures would be impacted due to loss of power to elevators, lighting, air conditioning, communications and other systems that may not operate without a generator or alternate power sources.

Impact to Essential Facilities/Historical Sites: Essential facilities would be impacted due to loss of power to elevators, lighting, air conditioning, communications and other systems that may not operate without a generator or alternate power sources. A power outage could impact emergency operations.

Historical sites within Moreno Valley would be impacted the same as structures listed above.

Impact to Infrastructure: Loss of power would severely impact infrastructure. It would affect traffic signals, which would increase in the probabilities of traffic collisions, and various types of communication infrastructure which could fail after prolonged power outage.

Development Trends: New development will result in an additional demand for electricity; however, General Plan objectives and associated policies encourage the efficient use of energy, including passive cooling with landscaping and the use of solar power. New development is shown in Appendix C.

15.2.1 POWER OUTAGE VULNERABILITY – POTENTIAL LOSS
If a power outage were to occur citywide for eight hours, the potential would be limited to loss of perishables, cost of fuel to run generators, potential for damage to vehicles from traffic accidents and loss of income to commercial businesses.

Potential losses from days-long or longer outages could escalate exponentially in terms of financial and human costs as powered medical infrastructure fails. There are no repetitive loss properties.

CHAPTER 16: HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ACCIDENT
MORENO VALLEY RATING: SEVERITY = 3 PROBABILITY = 3

16.1 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PROFILE – OVERVIEW
Hazardous materials are any substance or combination of substances that may pose a risk to human health and safety or to the environment. Hazardous materials include toxic, corrosive, infectious, flammable, explosive and radioactive materials.

Businesses, public or private institutions and private households all use or generate hazardous materials to some extent. Some of the larger businesses use certain classes of hazardous materials that require accidental release scenario modeling in order to plan, prepare and respond to the worst-case scenario.

Hazardous materials are routinely manufactured, used, stored, or transported in nearly every community and could therefore occur throughout the City of Moreno Valley. The probability of hazardous materials spills is accentuated with the city being bordered by two major transportation corridors and that the region is susceptible to earthquakes. Loss of human and wildlife, as well as significant effects on the environment and substantial cleanup costs could have a large impact on the city.

A hazardous chemical release in the City of Moreno Valley would most likely occur either by transportation of chemicals, the use of chemicals at a business, or illegal dumping of chemical waste.

City of Moreno Valley Records indicate there is currently one business located in the city which exceeds the Federal and California threshold for storing chemicals and is required to file both Federal and California response plans. According to the County of Riverside Department of Environmental Health, the City of Moreno Valley has 38 sites permitted as underground or above ground storage tank facilities; 208 sites permitted as hazardous waste generator facilities; and 314 sites permitted as hazardous chemical disclosure facilities 114. Figure 16-1 shows locations of hazardous material sites throughout Moreno Valley. 114 Data provided electronically November 2, 2016 by County of Riverside Department of Environmental Health at city’s Request

Revised: December 2022

Impact to Population and Structures: Severe or prolonged exposure to hazardous materials is expected to cause injuries and/or deaths. In addition, people may be evacuated or asked to shelter in place during a hazardous materials incident. Seniors and individuals with access and functional needs may need special assistance to evacuate.

People may also be required to be decontaminated to remove the hazard from their structures, property, and clothing. There may be economic impacts as well due to cleanup and removal of hazardous materials.

Impact to Essential Facilities/Historical Sites: Exposure to hazardous materials could impact essential facilities and historical sites. Essential facilities may be closed for decontamination, thus causing an interruption to services.

Impact to Infrastructure: Runoff from hazardous materials has a potential to affect the waterways and drainage systems, as toxic substances may leach into local groundwater supplies. Also, transportation systems could be impacted due to decontamination and increased congestion from evacuation efforts.

Development Trends: Future development of buildings, residential structures, critical facilities, and infrastructure are expected to be constructed according to the most recent Uniform Building Codes and design standards and are expected to carefully consider for adding to vulnerability from hazardous materials. New development is shown in Appendix C.

16.2.1 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS VULNERABILITY – POTENTIAL LOSS Analysis of the one business located in Moreno Valley that exceeds the Federal and California threshold for storing chemicals shows that a worst-case scenario could have a significant environmental and financial impact to the City of Moreno Valley. Due to the limitation of data available and the range of potential impacts, it is not possible to calculate the potential loss. There are no known repetitive loss properties.

CHAPTER 17: TERRORIST ATTACK
MORENO VALLEY RATING: SEVERITY = 4 PROBABILITY = 2

17.1 TERRORIST ATTACK PROFILE – OVERVIEW
Terrorism, as defined by the FBI, is "the unlawful use of force against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population or any segment thereof, in the A.12.a
Packet Pg. 541 Attachment: CITY OF MORENO VALLEY LHMP_APRIL 19 2023_FINAL (6264 : RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE CITY OF MORENO VALLEY LOCAL Moreno Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan

furtherance of political or social objectives."
126 The act of terrorism could involve chemicals,
biological, radiological, or nuclear agents, explosives, or cyber-terrorism.

A specific location for a terrorist attack is not known; however, some of the most likely targets could be Moreno Valley locations including March Air Reserve Base (MARB); Riverside University Health System (RUHS); Kaiser Hospital; and the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) Moreno natural gas compressor station. These are some considered high-profile targets but acts of terrorism could occur anywhere within the City of Moreno Valley and has the potential to impact a portion or all of the City of Moreno Valley.

17.1.1 TERRORIST ATTACK PROFILE – PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES
The City of Moreno Valley has not experienced a major terrorism attack; however, many parts of our Nation can’t say the same. From mass shootings to cars being driven into crowed streets, terrorism is something that is beginning to plaque too many communities.

Terrorism attacks can take many forms, from incendiary devices to biological weapons to weapons of mass destruction. On September 11, 2001, the United States of America was attacked by terrorists when four airplanes were hijacked by members of Al-Qaeda. Two of these planes were crashed into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and the fourth never reached its destination as the passengers retook control of the airplane and crashed it into a field in Pennsylvania. These major terrorist attacks were followed one week later by the mailing of anthrax to two United States Senators and several news media offices, killing five people and infecting 17 others.127
Shortly after the 2011 attacks, the City of Moreno Valley experienced four incidents of potential terror attacks in the form of unmarked white powder being left at area school campuses. These fours incidents occurred in October 2001, and all four incidents involved white powder being left on campus. After testing, all white powders were later determined to be non-hazardous.

Although not occurring in the City of Moreno Valley, the December 2, 2015 terrorist attack at the Inland Regional Center (IRC) did occur in the adjacent city of San Bernardino, which is approximately a 10-mile drive from the City of Moreno Valley. The IRC is a regional medical center whose primary mission is to assist people with developmental disabilities.

On this day, a mass shooting and attempted bombing incident occurred at the IRC located in the City of San Bernardino. In this attack, two suspects shot the victim-employees during 126 http://www.nij.gov/topics/crime/terrorism/pages/welcome.aspx Retrieved November 3, 2016 127 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_anthrax_attacks

a training meeting at the IRC. As a result of the incident, 14 victims were killed, and another 22 were wounded. A brief encounter with police also resulted in the deaths of the two suspects. Preliminary reports about the incident indicate that the suspects may have been on an Islamic jihadist mission against America.

Impact to Population and Structures: A terrorist attack is expected to cause multiple deaths and injuries and extensive damage to structures. The amount of expected injuries and deaths is dependent on the type of terrorist event.

Impact to Essential Facilities/Historical Sites: Government buildings, schools, hospitals, critical infrastructure, special events and historical sites are especially vulnerable to terrorist attacks. The impact could be devastating, and could severely interrupt emergency response efforts, as well as government services.

Impact to Infrastructure: Depending on the type of attack, it is expected that a terrorist attack would have a severe impact on infrastructure. Depending on the type of incident, this could involve loss of electricity, water, sewer, and communications.

Development Trends: Future development of buildings, structures, critical facilities, and infrastructure could be impacted by a terrorist attack, depending on the location of the incident. The environmental impact of biological, chemical and/or radiological contamination may need to be considered prior to future development. New development is shown in Appendix C.

18.1 CIVIL UNREST PROFILE – OVERVIEW
Civil unrest typically begins as non-violent gatherings and progresses to violence. These types of incidents have a potential to escalate into destruction of property, purposefully set fires, and injury to others. Often times, injuries are restricted to police and individuals observed to be breaking the law. Out of control crowds have been known to throw bottles, rocks, and other projectiles. Civil unrest incidents could happen in any location, but they typically occur near government buildings.

18.1.1 CIVIL UNREST PROFILE – PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES
The City of Moreno Valley does not have a history of violent civil unrest. Fortunately, the civil demonstrations included were non-violent in nature.

TABLE 18-1: HISTORY OF MORENO VALLEY CIVIL DEMONSTRATIONS Year Description

CHAPTER 19: PANDEMIC FLU/DISEASE
MORENO VALLEY RATING: SEVERITY = 3 PROBABILITY = 2

19.1 PANDEMIC FLU/DISEASE PROFILE – OVERVIEW
A pandemic is an epidemic of world-wide proportions. Throughout history there have been a number of pandemics such as smallpox, tuberculosis, measles, and polio. In recent years, pandemics include HIV/AIDS, Influenza, and Pertussis (whooping cough), and the ongoing Coronavirus (Covid-19) which began in February 2020 and continues today.

Significant public health emergencies have been affecting populations for centuries. Some of the notable pandemics in history are:
14th century, Black Death – The Black Death was a medieval pandemic that killed approximately 25 million people in Europe. This pandemic lingered for centuries. 138
1918–1919, Spanish Flu – The Spanish Flu caused an estimated 50 million deaths worldwide with nearly 675,000 of those deaths in the United States.139 1968, Influenza (H3N2) – An estimated 1 million deaths occurred worldwide with 100,000 in the United States. Most excessive deaths were in people 65 years or older.140 2005-2015 (at its peak), HIV/AIDS – HIV/AIDS has killed more than 36 million people since 1981. From 2005-2012, the annual global deaths from HIV/AIDS dropped from 2.2 million to 1.6 million.141
2020-Current, Covid-19 – Covid-19 has killed over 1 million people in the United States and nearly 6.5 million worldwide. With new variants emerging every couple of months, this pandemic could continue for years to come.

19.1.1 PANDEMIC FLU/DISEASE PROFILE – PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES In 2022 Riverside County began and continues to experience significant cases of Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV, which typically causes mild, cold-like symptoms, but can be particularly serious for infants and older adults. It is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia (infection of the lungs) in children younger than 1 year old in the United States. Symptoms of RSV can include shallow or difficulty breathing, cough, poor appetite, listlessness or irritability and it can cause bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia (infection of the lungs). Public Health officials continue ongoing public messaging campaigns about the dangers of this and other respiratory illnesses and how to prevent them. 142 The City of Moreno Valley continues to monitor case numbers affecting the population in the city and throughout the County.

In late February 2020, the City of Moreno Valley, in cooperation with the County of Riverside, was notified that a plane would be landing at March Air Reserve Base (MARB) carrying U.S. residents who had been in Wuhan, China where the original Covid-19 infections were detected. Upon repatriation of the flight, County Health officials had to determine the best means of protecting the public. Officials determined that quarantine mandates were appropriate for these and others returning to the County to prevent infection spread.

Unfortunately, others unknowing they were virus carriers, began to spread the virus all over the U.S. as they returned from abroad. Over the next several, federal, state, and local health officials navigated rapidly increasing infection and death rates worldwide. Mask mandates, closures of businesses, schools, and anything else considered non-essential were enforced, and in some cases, continue. Social distancing rules of maintaining at least 6 feet distance from anyone around you were implemented. In addition to the worldwide pandemic, some countries, including the United States, simultaneously began to struggle with supply chain shortages of essential items such as baby formula, among other things. Many of the lasting supply chain issues are still present today. The State of California and the City will end its COVID-19 emergency proclamations and emergency operation center activations, however, for many, the threat of other variants remains a constant143.

In 2009, Moreno Valley was impacted by the H1N1 influenza epidemic in which California proclaimed a State of Emergency (April 28, 2009). From April 23, 2009, until August 28, 2010, the California Department of Public Health reported 116 severe cases, 108 intensive care unit cases, and 41 deaths in Riverside County144. The public health emergency required 142 https://www.ruhealth.org/public-health/respiratory-viruses#rsv Retrieved February 2023 143 https://www.cdph.ca.gov/ Retrieved July 2022

the activation of the Moreno Valley Emergency Operations Center to track the epidemic; provide daily statistics to Riverside County Public Health on the status of our employees; to participate in regular conference calls; and to outreach information about appropriate precautions as well as provide information about vaccination. In today’s news, you often hear officials recalling this epidemic and reminding everyone that this and similar viruses can easily become problematic.

Pertussis (also known as whooping cough) is a highly contagious bacterial disease. People with pertussis experience severe coughing attacks that can last for months. During 2010, over 9,000 cases of pertussis were reported in California, including 10 infant deaths. Table 19-1 identifies disease outbreaks, including Influenza 145 and Pertussis, 146 in Riverside County.

19.1.2 PANDEMIC FLU/DISEASE PROFILE – PROBABILITY OF FUTURE EVENTS
The probability rating for this hazard is a 2, which means that there is between a 1% and 10% chance that it will occur within the next year. This does not account for the ongoing (existing) pandemic conditions caused by Covid-19.

19.2 PANDEMIC FLU/DISEASE VULNERABILITY – OVERVIEW/IMPACT The severity rating for this hazard is a 3, which means that there is a potential for critical damage, causing injuries and/or illnesses resulting in permanent disability, complete shutdown of critical facilities for two weeks and/or 25% to 49% of property is severely damaged.

Impact to Population and Structures: Due to the geographic extent of a pandemic, the entire population is vulnerable to illness, injuries, and casualties. There is no expected damage to structures; however, there could be a quarantine which would prevent people from coming or going from a particular structure or area.

Impact to Essential Facilities/Historical Sites: Essential facilities and/or historical sites could be affected if there was a quarantine initiated by Public Health. Essential functions may be limited if a large percentage of the workforce was unable to report to work, as we experienced during Covid-19.

Impact to Infrastructure: Travel will likely be restricted during a pandemic, with mandates for quarantine likely during disease outbreak periods.

Development Trends: Future development of buildings, structures, critical facilities, and infrastructure could be impacted if there were disease outbreaks requiring special treatment of development areas prior to building. New development is shown in Appendix C.

19.2.1 PANDEMIC FLU/DISEASE VULNERABILITY – POTENTIAL LOSS When the pandemic occurred, it affected everyone, not just in our city, but worldwide. The immediate and ongoing loss to income resulting from forced business closures, people’s inability to travel or generally move-about in public and spend money, weakened, and affected every aspect of life, including the local economy. As the pandemic continues, with new variants occurring, these impacts will continue for the foreseeable future.

Transportation, commerce, businesses small and large, and everything in between, has been negatively affected, and likely would be again during a pandemic. What is unknown is the cost for things not as tangible, such as school closures with online learning.

CHAPTER 20: MITIGATION STRATEGY

20.1 INTRODUCTION
Chapter 20 provides information about the City of Moreno Valley’s mitigation strategies, which is the blueprint for reducing losses from the identified hazards that may affect the city. This chapter will provide an assessment of Moreno Valley’s capabilities; identification of hazard mitigation strategies and status; analysis of mitigation actions; and National Flood Insurance Program compliance information. The city’s identified hazards, and their respective mitigation strategies, were developed using a Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) approach which includes probabilities, priorities, and potential severities.

20.2 CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT
The City of Moreno Valley’s capabilities for implementing mitigation strategies to reduce hazards that may affect the city include legal and regulatory capabilities, administrative and technical capabilities, fiscal capabilities and outreach and other capabilities.

Legal and Regulatory Capabilities: Moreno Valley formally adopts, regularly reviews, and updates regulatory policies such a general plan, along with implementing regulations such as zoning ordinances, subdivision ordinances, and specific plans. Table 20-1 is an example of regulatory capabilities that assist the City of Moreno Valley in its mitigation strategies.

Several mitigation goals and objectives are included in the city’s General Plan to assist with mitigation efforts. A good example is Goal S-1, along with a few corresponding objectives and policies:

Goal S-1: Protect life and property from natural and humanmade hazards.

Policy S.1-1: Continue to restrict the development of habitable structures within AlquistPriolo Earthquake Fault Zones consistent with State law.

A.12.a
Packet Pg. 554 Attachment: CITY OF MORENO VALLEY LHMP_APRIL 19 2023_FINAL (6264 : RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE CITY OF MORENO VALLEY LOCAL Moreno Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan
Revised: December 2022

Policy S.1-2: In areas of high liquefaction risk (see MoVal 2040: General Plan Map S-2), require that project proponents submit geotechnical investigation reports and demonstration that the project conforms to all recommended mitigation measures prior to City approval.

Policy S.1-14: Require new development in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZs) to prepare a Fire Protection Plan that minimizes risks by: Assessing site-specific characteristics such as topography, slope, vegetation type, wind patterns etc.; Siting and designing development to avoid hazardous locations (e.g. through fire breaks) to the extent feasible; Incorporating fuel modification and brush clearance techniques in accordance with applicable fire safety requirements and carried out in a manner which reduces impacts to environmentally sensitive habitat to the maximum feasible extent; Using fire-safe building materials and design features, consistent with the adopted Municipal Code and Fire and Building Code standards; Using fire-resistant landscaping; and Complying with established standards and specifications for fuel modification, defensible space, access, and water facilities.

Goal S-2: Provide effective response to disasters and emergencies.

Policy S.2-1: Use the adopted Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and Emergency Operations Plan to guide actions and investments for emergency preparedness and response.

Another example of regulatory capabilities is Moreno Valley Municipal Code, Title 9, Chapter

9.17, which addresses water conservation and waste. Specifically, 9.17.160 (Landscape Water Use Efficiency Enforcement), states that the city will coordinate with the local water purveyors and encourage landscape water use efficiency such as tiered water rate structure; allocation-based conservation water pricing structure; irrigation audits and/or irrigation surveys.

As part of day-to-day business, the City is always exploring if there is a need to revise or enhance existing policies, procedures, processes, ordinances, plans, etc. Upon identified need of any such updates, revisions, or removals of such, the City, through documented processes and procedures would move accordingly to ensure such actions are completed.

The City takes proactive steps to regularly evaluate if existing capabilities, plans, procedures, strategies, etc. align with mitigation projects and activities. In the event there is a need for revisions, updates to these, or if new ones are necessary, the City will take appropriate steps to do so. Mitigation capabilities, whether administrative, fiscal, or other, and mitigation strategies must work together and as such, must be closely aligned to support each project and the overall mitigation program.

division dedicated to seeking
grant funding sources for allhazards mitigation and other City-related projects
An example of a successful grant mitigation award is a storm drain project the city applied for as a result of a presidentially declared winter storm disaster (DR-1731). The project is to install a storm drain system in the middle of the tract bounded by Redlands Boulevard and Merwin Street, from Alessandro Boulevard to Campbell Avenue, and connected to an existing open channel on the southwest corner of Redlands Boulevard and Brodiaea Avenue. The project would provide the Moreno Townsite area with 100-year storm level of protection. The lack of a proper storm drain system in the neighborhood has resulted in flooding events in almost every storm. The project is under design using grant funds.

Outreach and Other Capabilities

The city provides fire safety classes, through the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program to the community several times a year and partners with businesses and local agencies to provide information outreach during community events. The city also participates in regional mass care and shelter planning and incorporates planning for access and functional needs individuals. In addition, the city has designated a cooling center if needed during a heat emergency and a heating center for cold, winter days. The Police Department and the California Department of Transportation have a plan to divert traffic from Highway in the event of major traffic accidents.

20.3 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION STRATEGIES AND PROGRESS
The next several pages will provide a summary of the mitigation strategies that were chosen for reducing the potential losses identified in the hazard risk assessment. Each mitigation strategy shows the priority ranking, responsible department/division/program, timeframe, funding, cost, and the status. In addition, the associated hazard(s) and relevant chapter from the LHMP is identified for each mitigation measure. The LHMP’s overall goals were identified in the Executive Summary in the beginning of the plan. They are:

1. Protect life, property, and the environment.

2. Provide public awareness.

3. Protect continuity of government; and

4. Improve emergency management, preparedness, collaboration, and outreach.

Priority Ranking: Several factors were considered to determine the mitigation priority ranking for each mitigation measure. The highest priority ranking was assigned to those mitigation measures that met three criteria: 1) greatest potential for protecting life and property; 2) greatest potential for maintaining critical city functions and operability following a disaster; and 3) achievability in terms of community support, and cost effectiveness. Each mitigation action is assigned a priority ranking as follows:

Critical: Most important goals/actions (may be short-term or long-term) High: To be implemented in the short-term future
Moderate: To be implemented when funding/resources become available.

Benefit/Cost Review: The benefits of proposed projects were weighed against costs as a part of the project prioritization process to determine if the proposed project should be ranked critical, high, or moderate. Where possible, an actual benefit/cost analysis ratio was provided.

Previous Mitigation Projects: Listed in the bullets below are the mitigation projects from the City’s 2017 LHMP that were completed. All incomplete projects from this plan are listed in the Mitigation Strategy section as projects still to be completed.

• Replace the existing functionally obsolete SR-60/Redlands Avenue Overcrossing two-lane bridge with a four-lane bridge. Obtain funds and request Caltrans and City Council approval to perform environmental studies, design, and construction. This project from the 2017 plan is currently in the design phase. Refer to Mitigation Strategy 4.7 below for additional details.
• Replace the existing functionally obsolete SR-60/Theodore Avenue Overcrossing two-lane bridge with a four or six-lane bridge. Obtain funds and request Caltrans and City Council approval to perform environmental studies, design, and construction. This project from the 2017 plan is currently in the design phase. Refer to Mitigation Strategy 4.8 below for additional details. • Ensure that minimum building standards are implemented to safeguard life, limb, health, property, and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location and maintenance of all buildings and structures within the City of Moreno Valley. Adopt current California Building Standards Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24, the California Building Code, California Mechanical Code, California Residential Code, California Plumbing Code, California Fire Code, and the California Electrical Code and adopting other regulations relating to Building and Fire Prevention requirements. This project from the 2017 plan was completed in 2017. Refer to Mitigation Strategy 6.14 below for additional details.
• For the flooding problems at Hubbard Street and Dunleavy Court neighborhood, the ultimate solution is to construct a storm drain system to collect flows from the upstream end, run off along Hubbard Street with inlets at Dunlavy Court and lateral streets and carry them to the existing Line H-1 on Ironwood Avenue in the City of Moreno Valley. This project from the 2017 plan was completed in 2019. Refer to Mitigation Strategy 6.13 below for additional details.
• Encourage public participation in the city’s hazard mitigation update process by designating a Hazard Mitigation web page in the Emergency Section of the city website that is specific to the City of Moreno Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.

This project from the 2017 plan was completed during the update of that plan as well as during the update of this plan. Although complete, the concept of soliciting input from residents about the plan remains an ongoing effort.

Mitigation Strategies and Status: Beginning on the next page, grouped by identified hazard, is a summary of the city’s new and updated strategies that serve to mitigate the hazards that may affect the City of Moreno Valley.

Each Mitigation Strategy and Status includes information about actual or potential funding sources. The City prioritizes seeking any available federal, state, or local mitigation grants including but not limited to: Building Resilient Communities (BRIC), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Cal Trans grants, Utility Infrastructure grants, etc. It should also be noted that grants often have a very specific target capability they are looking to award for which may cause certain projects to be ineligible for a given grant year or grant cycle. Grants may also have target demographics, such as vulnerable populations, that they are looking to ensure the funds will directly benefit, which may or may not align with some projects given their geographic location. Other complexities of grant awards can be incomplete project funding. Many of the projects noted in this plan carry significant price tags that a single grant may not cover, rendering the funds unattainable if other supplemental funding is not immediately available. By listing the potential grant funding sources for each strategy, this does not imply that those are the only potential funding sources the City may seek, it only indicates that those are the most common, probable, or likely to be sought.

The Mitigation Strategies section also contains information about timeframe. The timeframe is generally a reference towards when the project was last included in the LHMP (if applicable). References to “ongoing” generally refer to the fact the project is not completed as of the time of this revision.

Status within this section generally refers to the overall project status. Some reveal assessed meaning they were assessed and evaluated during the 2017 plan and ongoing again, referring to the fact that the project remains ongoing.

20.4 NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM
The last component of the city’s mitigation strategy is participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. The City of Moreno Valley has participated in the NFIP since June 16, 1987.

The NFIP aims to reduce the impact of flooding on private and public structures. It does so by providing affordable insurance to property owners and by encouraging communities to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations.

The NFIP seeks to minimize the socio-economic impact of disasters by encouraging and promoting the purchase and retention of general risk insurance, but also flood insurance, specifically, to homes and businesses located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA). The land area covered by the floodwaters of the base flood is the SFHA on NFIP maps.

A.12.a
Packet Pg. 602 Attachment: CITY OF MORENO VALLEY LHMP_APRIL 19 2023_FINAL (6264 : RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE CITY OF MORENO VALLEY LOCAL Moreno Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan
Revised: December 2022

Per City Municipal Code, the City of Moreno Valley regulates new development and substantial improvement to existing structures in the SFHA or to build safely above Base Flood Elevation (BFE) to reduce damage to new construction. The program is based on mapping areas of flood risk and requiring local implementation to reduce flood damage primarily requiring the elevation of structures above the BFE including revising the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) by processing Letters of Map Revisions (LOMR) with FEMA prior to issuance of certificates of occupancy. The city completes the NFIP Biennial Report and returns that information to FEMA in a timely manner. There have been no negative issues from participating in the NFIP.

In 2008, the city updated its Municipal Code, adopting the April 19, 2017 Flood Insurance Study (FIS), Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps (FBFM) and attendant FIRMs. The FIS, FBFM and FIRM are on file at Public Works Department, Land Development Division.

The City of Moreno Valley requires Flood Plain Development Permits for all construction or other development, including manufactured homes, within any SFHA. Flood Insurance may be required in these zones as a condition of loan or grant assistance. Elevation Certificates are required as part of the Development Permit, issuance of a building permit and issuance of final occupancy. The Elevation Certificate is a form published by FEMA and required to be maintained and filed in Moreno Valley as a participating community in the NFIP.

The Moreno Valley Master Drainage Plan was updated in early 2015 and adopted by City Council on October 13, 2015. The Master Drainage plan proposes the construction of detention basins, debris basins, open channels, and a network of underground storm drains.

When implemented, it shall provide flood protection from the 100-year storm event. In addition, it also serves as a planning guide for the location and sizing of local drainage facilities to be constructed by developers and others within the area.

Discretionary projects located in an SFHA are required, as a condition of approval, to construct necessary storm drain improvements per the city’s Master Drainage Plan and process a Letter of Map Revision, thus removing property from SFHA.

Repetitive Loss Properties: There are no repetitive loss properties.

Other Data Used to Regulate Flood Hazard Areas: The City of Moreno Valley utilizes past Hydrology/Hydraulic (H/H) studies prepared by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, developers and others prepared in the past in areas known for shallow flooding within Zone X to determine finish floor elevations for proposed structures.

Community Rating System (CRS): Beginning October 1, 1991, the City of Moreno Valley has maintained its member participation in the CRS and is rated at a Class 8. FEMA conducts NFIP-CRS field verifications on a five-year cycle to determine if communities A.12.a
Packet Pg. 603 Attachment: CITY OF MORENO VALLEY LHMP_APRIL 19 2023_FINAL (6264 : RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE CITY OF MORENO VALLEY LOCAL Moreno Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan
Revised: December 2022

remain in compliance with NFIP regulations. The City of Moreno Valley’s most recent field verification was conducted in April 2017 and found the city to be in compliance. The NFIPCRS is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. As a result, flood insurance premium rates are discounted by 10% for SFHA zones and 5% for non-SFHA zones to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from the community actions. These efforts are aligned with the three goals of the CRS:

1. Reduce flood damages to insurable property.

2. Strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP; and

3. Encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management.

SUMMARY
This report recommends award of a Professional Landscape Maintenance Services Agreement to Merchants Landscape Services, Inc. (the “Contractor”) to provide for routine regular (base maintenance) landscape maintenance services of City parks, City landscaped facilities and landscaped aqueducts located within the City. The Agreement is for a five-year term commencing July 1, 2023 and is subject to an annual 5% inflationary adjustment.

Funding for the landscape maintenance services of City parks, City landscape facilities and landscaped aqueducts located within the City, is provided through an allocation of funds that includes various special financing districts for parks and general fund allocations that have been previously approved by the City Council as part of the adopted budget.

DISCUSSION
Maintenance of the public landscaping is performed by licensed and insured landscape contractors. The contractors are selected through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process every five-years, consistent with the City’s Procurement Policy. Public Contract Code 22002, the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (Municipal Code 3.12.300), allows the use of the RFP procurement process for landscape maintenance services.

On March 15, 2023, an RFP (RFP #2023-005) for landscape maintenance services was issued using the City’s electronic bid and vendor management system (PlanetBids).

Thirty (30) vendors were notified, and eight (8) eight responses were received by the RFP due date of 2:00 p.m. on April 7, 2023,
In order to determine the best overall value to the City, all proposals were evaluated independently by representatives from the Parks and Landscape Services Division who served as the City’s selection panel for review to recommend award. Proposals were evaluated on the RFP’s requested information. Proposers (vendors) that submitted proposal responses were evaluated on the proposer’s 1) ability to provide the services, 2) qualifications and certifications in accordance with accepted standards, 3) references from other municipalities/public agencies where similar services have been provided, and 4) pricing.

The overall evaluation grading by the City’s selection panel recommends 1) awarding the Agreement to Merchants Landscape Services, Inc., waiving any and all minor irregularities, 2) authorizing the City Manager/Executive Director of the Moreno Valley Community Services District (CSD) to execute the Agreement, and 3) authorizing the City Manager/ Executive Director of the CSD to approve all future amendments in A.13
Packet Pg. 660

accordance with the terms of the Agreement subject to the approval of the City Attorney. Such amendments shall only be entered into provided they are within the authorized not-to-exceed amount and provided sufficient funding appropriations and program approvals have been granted by the City Council and CSD Board. 4) authorizing the City Manager/Executive Director of the CSD to amend the Agreement to allow for adjustments in additional work services, as may be necessary, without a delay in service.

This action meets the Strategic Plan Priorities by managing and maximizing Moreno Valley’s public infrastructure to ensure an excellent quality of life, develop and implement innovative, cost-effective infrastructure maintenance programs, public facilities management strategies, and capital improvement programming and project delivery.
