SUBJECT: SELECTION OF INLAND EMPIRE RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT AS THE

COLONY) GREATER PRADO BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PROGRAM HABITAT
MITIGATION FEE
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
November 21, 2023
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the selection of the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District (IERCD) as the administrator of the Greater Prado Basin Habitat Conservation Program (GPBHCP) Ontario Ranch (New Model Colony) Habitat Mitigation Fees and direct the City Manager or designee to facilitate the purpose and goals of the Memorandum of Agreement.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies FISCAL IMPACT: There is not a direct fiscal impact associated with this action.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: In January 1998, the Ontario City Council approved a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and associated Final EIR for the sphere of influence (SOI), which is now known as the Ontario Ranch [previously the New Model Colony (NMC)]. The GPA designated Ontario Ranch for a range of urban and suburban uses, including residential, commercial, business park, industrial, and open space. Most of Ontario Ranch was then in agricultural use. The Final EIR for the GPA assessed the impacts on biological resources of the conversion of Ontario Ranch from agricultural uses to developed urban and suburban uses. Before mitigation, significant impacts were identified for waterfowl and waterfowl habitat, raptors and raptor habitat, and the Delhi Sands Flower-Loving Fly (DSFLF) Ontario Recovery Unit. The EIR included three mitigation measures for impacts to biological resources.
Subsequent to the 1998 adoption of the SOI GPA and EIR, a lawsuit was filed against the City of Ontario by the Endangered Habitats League and the Sierra Club, challenging the City’s CEQA 24 compliance and approval of the SOI GPA. A Settlement Agreement was reached and agreed to by all parties that set forth revised mitigation measures for potential impacts in the Ontario Ranch (referred to as Annexation Area 163 in the Agreement) to the burrowing owl, the DSFLF, raptor foraging and wildlife habitat, loss of open space, actual and potential habitat, and agricultural land, and sensitive (listed and non-listed) species. These measures will be in effect until all the developable acres in the Ontario Ranch reach full buildout, as determined by the City.
Since the Settlement Agreement, in 2003, the City established a habitat mitigation fee to cover potential environmental impacts to the Burrowing Owl, DSFLF, raptor foraging, loss of open space, and agricultural lands. Development impact fees for new development in Ontario Ranch were adopted on June 23, 2003, by the City Council. The Ontario Ranch development impact fees include a habitat mitigation fee of $4,320 per net acre for proposed residential, commercial, hotel and restaurant, office, and industrial development. Mitigation fees have been collected by the City and have been deposited into a trust fund to be used for the acquisition, restoration, rehabilitation, and/or maintenance of lands deemed to have long-term conservation value. Up to 25 percent of the fees may be used for DSFLF. In addition, the current City procedure requires the preparation of a habitat assessment to determine if habitat and biological resources exist on sites proposed for development. If the assessment determines that there is potential habitat for sensitive species, focused protocol surveys are required. If potential DSFLF habitat is present, two-year (consecutive) protocol surveys per the USFWS Interim General Survey Guidelines for DSFLF are required.
Parties to the Settlement Agreement formed an Advisory Committee which oversaw the selection of Riverside Land Conservancy (RLC) to conduct the initial Strategic Planning and would be disbanded upon selection of the land trust, with long term oversight of the land trust provided by the City. In 2006, the Ontario City Council approved the selection of the RLC (today known as River and Land Conservancy) to create a habitat program pursuant to the requirements of the Settlement Agreement. RLC developed a two-phased Greater Prado Basin Habitat Conservation Plan (GPBHCP) Habitat Mitigation Program. Phase 1 was the preparation of a Strategic Plan, while Phase 2 was to be the Program Implementation. In 2010, the City of Ontario approved the selection of RLC as the land trust administrator for the New Model Colony (NMC) habitat mitigation fees as part of Phase 2 of the program. However, due to the economic downturn, the contract between the City and the Riverside Land Conservancy was never ratified. Due to the slower economic recovery and, more recent Covid-19 Pandemic, the City has not been able to implement the program but has continued to collect the Habitat Conservation and Open Space Mitigation development impact fees. In the interim, the City has participated in the development of other projects within the Prado Basin including the Mill Creek Wetlands, completed in 2016. This multi-jurisdictional project incorporated 66 acres of wetland basins along a 2.35-mile section of Mill Creek, transforming it into a natural water quality treatment system providing regional environmental and recreational benefits within an underutilized area of the Prado Basin.
In August 2022, Staff reinitiated the GPBHCP through solicitation of proposals from non-profit land trusts and organizations specializing in habit conservation. Two proposals were received, although one was disqualified for not meeting the minimum standards. Following internal Advisory Committee meetings, after a thorough proposal review and interview, the Advisory Committee agreed to select the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District (IERCD) as the most qualified land trust. Additionally, as stipulated in the Settlement Agreement, the contract will identify the City's 25 responsibility for oversight of the fund disbursement to ensure IERCD acts "in a fiscally responsible and professional manner."
A Memorandum of Agreement allows for City Staff and IERCD to refine and implement the threephased Habitat Mitigation Program. Phase 1 will be to refine the scope of work and concurrence on mutually agree definition of project success, while Phase II will be the development of a fiscally responsible sustainable Action Plan that provides a framework for identification and selection opportunities for restoration/rehabilitation/protection of habitat. Phase III will be implementation of selected projects. The Action Plan will identify potential properties for acquisition, with a focus on habitat identification and evaluation of species of primary concern include the Burrowing Owl, the Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly, raptors, waterfowl and other riparian species. The long-term maintenance of potential habitat will also be considered. IERCD will use biologists, wildlife experts and GIS mapping technology to evaluate potential habitat in the Chino Basin. Based on their findings, IERCD will make long-term and short-term recommendations as to which properties to acquire/control through purchases, easements or other appropriate legal mechanisms for long term protection. Phase 1 would be completed within 12 months of the full execution of the Memorandum of Agreement. Phase 2 work will involve developing the procedures for selection of acquisition/control of the land and identification of potential projects, while Phase III is implementation of projects identified in Phase II. The timing and number of acquisitions is unknown at this time but will be affected by the strategies that IERCD recommends and the availability of Habitat Mitigation funds. IERCD will be responsible for quarterly program progress/fund expenditure reporting to the City and bi-yearly Board of Directors presentation of the Habitat Mitigation Program to the City Council.

D. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute $1,000,000 for project hardware and implementation contingency expenses.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT: Hexagon software license, recurring maintenance and professional services, travel, training, and project contingency required to transition the City's computer-aided dispatch (CAD) to Hexagon I/CAD Dispatch is for a total contract not-to-exceed of $5,186,116, which includes ongoing annual software licensing and maintenance of $1,617,506 for year one, $362,394 for year two, $380,513 for year three, $399,539 for year four, and $419,516 for year five, $1,824,225 for I/CAD Custom Interface, and I/Cad Project Services, a 10% project contingency for I/CAD Custom 60 Interface, and I/Cad Project Services for $182,423;
NPSG professional services required to transition the City's computer-aided dispatch (CAD) to the Hexagon I/CAD Dispatch in the amount of $586,415 for consulting services and project management, with a total contract not-to-exceed amount of $963,634; Project hardware and implementation contingency expenses not-to-exceed $1,000,000.
Professional services compensation is based upon actual time expended and reimbursement of expenses. Appropriations for the project implementation have been included in the Approved Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24. If approved, appropriations will be added to the future years' budgets consistent with the annual budget adoption process.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, utilized by City of Ontario Public Safety dispatchers in our Police and Fire Communication centers, is used to prioritize and record incident calls, identify the status and location of responders in the field, and effectively dispatch responder personnel. Public Safety responders in the field can receive messages initiated by CAD systems via their Mobile Data Computers (MDCs), radios, and cell phones. The City's current Public Safety Computer Aided Dispatch system, Central Square Total Command CAD, was purchased and implemented over 19 years ago. The system is out dated and runs on older equipment that doesn't quickly scale as the demand for communications increases.
On November 2022, the City issued an RFP to solicit proposals for a public safety platform. After receiving six competitive bids, Hexagon's HxGN I/CAD Dispatch was selected to replace the current system. Hexagon is very configurable, which allows Ontario Fire and Ontario Police to have different settings and filters to help first responders best do their job specifically for their responsibilities – working Fire, Police, or EMS – Call taking, Dispatching, Radio Operator. This equates to faster response times to get a first responder to a call for service faster, which further equates to increased officer and public safety. Hexagon will allow for automated vehicle dispatching to ensure that the closest, most appropriate unit is dispatched on the calls for service. In addition, the City has partnered with the National Public Safety Group (NPSG), a consulting firm in the public safety software market, for several years, and NPSG has an in-depth understanding of our requirements at Ontario Fire and Ontario Police. NPSG will provide project management consulting throughout the project. Staff requests City Council award the Agreement to Hexagon AB and approve the Amendment with NPSG.

For purposes of this section, “orders of governmental authorities,” includes ordinances, emergency proclamations and orders, rules to protect the public health, welfare and safety, and other actions of a public agency applicable to the services and Agreement. However, as this is involving the implementation of a public safety software project, if there is a combination of remote and onsite work that can successfully complete the Project, and is agreeable to the parties, a Force Majeure Event may not be reason not to perform for the Consultant. Reasonable alternatives cannot be reasonably withheld by either of the parties.
3.3.5.2 Should a Force Majeure Event occur, the non-performing Party shall, within a reasonable time of being prevented from performing, give written notice to the other Party describing the circumstances preventing continued performance and the efforts being made to resume performance of this Agreement.

3.9 Resolution Protocol. The Parties shall exercise their best efforts to negotiate and settle promptly any dispute that may arise with respect to the Master Agreement or Order made pursuant to the Agreement (“Dispute”) in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. If either Party disputes any provision of the Agreement (the “Disputing Party”), or the interpretation thereof, or any conduct by the other Party under the Master Agreement, the Disputing Party shall bring the matter to the attention of the other Party at the earliest possible time in order to resolve the Dispute, except for Disputes for non-payment. If such Dispute is not promptly resolved by the employees responsible for the subject matter of the Dispute, the Disputing Party shall be permitted to deliver to the non-disputing Party’s contact person identified in the Primary Contracting Document a written notice of the Dispute, whereupon the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to escalate the Dispute to appropriate executives for each Party for resolution within fifteen (15) Business Days, or such longer period as to which the Parties may mutually agree. To the extent a Dispute is not resolved through the process outlined in the previous section and remains unresolved, the Parties agree to enter into non-binding mediation to resolve the Dispute.
Within sixty (60) calendar days, of the issuance of the Dispute notice, or such longer period that is mutually agreeable to the Parties, the Parties agree to identify a mutually acceptable mediator who shall mediate the Dispute. If, after making reasonable efforts to identify a mutually acceptable mediator and no later than fifty (50) calendar days after the issuance of the Dispute Notice, the Parties are unable to identify such a mediator, the Disputing Party shall provide the non-disputing Party with a list of five (5) proposed mediators. The non-disputing Party shall have five (5) Business Days from receipt of such list from the Disputing Party to identify one proposed mediator on the list to use as a mediator.

The mediator shall be an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California. Subject to the mediator’s availability, the Parties agree to mediate the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the Parties have identified a mediator who has agreed to mediate the Dispute.
To the extent the mutually identified mediator is unavailable, unwilling, or unable to mediate the Dispute, the Parties shall utilize the same steps listed above to identify a new mutually agreeable mediator. To the extent the Disputing Party had to prepare a list of proposed mediators previously, it shall prepare and transmit a revised list within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the proposed mediator’s unavailability. Subject to the mediator’s requirements, the Parties agree they shall be permitted to attend the mediation via telephone or video conferencing.
The Parties agree to pay in equal shares the mediator’s fee and expenses unless otherwise agreed to pursuant to a settlement agreement. Except for Disputes for non-payment, only after the Parties have endeavored to resolve the Dispute through the processes outlined in the immediately preceding two sections may a Party commence litigation to resolve the dispute.
3.10 Personal Data. Where Personal Data is provided by the City to Hexagon, the City shall act as the data controller and shall be responsible for complying with all applicable data protection laws.

Pricing Assumptions
The price is assuming a combined project implementation with Ontario Fire and Police Agencies. If Customer chooses to complete the projects separately, Hexagon reserves the right to reprice system integration services costs.
The price for the I/CAD project assumes the implementation, configuration, training, testing and cutover will happen as a part of one combined project.
Project Services included in this response are inclusive of the Services and travel as expressly described in this SOW.
Software licenses for Backup and Test Environments are included at no additional cost. Extended warranty is included in the base system software and interface purchase price. Extended warranty is for a period of 12 months commencing at System Cutover. Hexagon has included 4 optional years of annual recurring system maintenance at 5% increase yearover-year, Annual Recurring Costs provided in the proposed pricing are based on the types and quantities of proposed software and system configuration as described specified above. Any changes to the quantities and/or types of Software comprising the Customer’s System proposed software and system configuration as a result of change orders executed during the project implementation or additions/removals of products after Cutover will result in a corresponding change to the Total Annual Recurring Costs (e.g., price for Maintenance Services). Such adjustment will be based on thencurrent pricing at the time of the Order or Change Order. Please refer to the included Bill of Materials for a specific list of software and license counts included in the proposed price. Unless otherwise noted, project management services, implementation services, and Maintenance Services (Extended Warranty) ARE NOT included in optional pricing. Options for Hexagon Services are valid for 6 months (with the exception of CAD BPR) and Hexagon Product pricing is valid for one year after contract signing. Hexagon can provide a fixed quote when optional items are selected. The Recurring Fees and CAD BPR and HxGN Live Options would be subject to a separate agreement between the parties.
Base price includes Bi-Annual HxGN Live attendance fee for two (2) attendees for 2025. HxGN Live 2027 attendance fees are included as an option. HxGN Live attendance fees do not include travel and lodging costs.
Per the RFP requirement, Hexagon has included options for up to five (5) annual Business Process Review (BPR) workshops. The initial BPR would be available for use following completion of the Reliability Period. An SOW, with the pricing corresponding to the year in which the request is made, will be provided when the Customer desires to exercise this option. As part of the workshop, Hexagon will visit the Customer site for up to four consecutive days and focus its attention on configuration and 205
46700.00100\40935195.1
(BB&K 2017) Exhibit “D”-3
workflow reviews, configuration updates for new functionality, best practices for system administration and system maintenance. Topics of the reassessment will be identified through communications and direct meetings with customer representatives from all aspects of the system, including end users and system administrators. Hexagon will also observe operations as needed. From these observations, recommendations will be made for modifications or additions to configurations, workflow adjustments that could be made to operations, or training that might benefit the users or system administrators.
Each annual BPR will require 90 days' notice to proceed and will be billed once the workshop has been executed. Any unused BPR will not carryover to the following year. Please note the first BPR workshop must be exercised within 12 months following cutover to production.
Sales tax is not included in this quote. Final sales tax billed will reflect the applicable tax rates at time of sale as required by law.
If available, any included third-party hardware and associated software procured by Hexagon is provided with a pre-paid 5-year pass-thru-warranty from the original manufacturer. The warranty for third party hardware and associated software commences on the date the hardware is shipped to the customer. Hexagon commits to not shipping hardware until absolutely needed to not degrade the warranty timeframe for the City. Third party hardware warranties begin earlier than the commencement of Hexagon’s first year of maintenance or Extended Warranty, which begins at Subsystem cutover.
This offer is valid through 11/30/23.

USE TERMS
PRODUCT USAGE POLICY AND PRODUCT-SPECIFIC TERMS
These Use Terms, including Product-Specific Terms included in this document, apply to Software licensed to User by Hexagon pursuant to the EULA, including any version of EULA that is part of any other agreement between User and Hexagon that references the Use Terms and/or subject to Third Party Terms identified herein.
1.0 DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Common Terms Glossary.
2.0 AUTHORIZED LICENSE AND ACTIVATION. Unless expressed otherwise, Software Products will contact license servers to conduct a license activation and/or validity check to determine whether the license is authorized and authentic and associate it with a certain device. Depending upon the application, license servers may be within or outside the Customer site. During this contact the transmission of certain data will occur. During activation and validity check, the Software Product may determine that the license is invalid or has expired. In the case of an invalid or expired license, User may receive a prompt informing User of such. Although no personal information is transmitted between User and Hexagon during the license activation and check, User’s use of the Software Product provides User’s continued consent to the transmission of the necessary data for license activation and validity check. Unless otherwise provided by Hexagon, User may not bypass the license activation process, as doing so will invalidate User’s license and is considered a violation of these Use Terms.
3.0 LICENSING METRICS. Software Products are licensed as either Production System Licenses or Auxiliary System Licenses. In some Hexagon documents Production System Licenses may be referred to as “Primary Licenses,” and Auxiliary System Licenses may be referred to as “Supplementary Licenses.” In those instances, please interpret references to “Primary Licenses” as “Production System Licenses,” and references to “Supplementary Licenses” as “Auxiliary System Licenses.” There are two (2) types of Production System Licenses and seven (7) types of Auxiliary System Licenses as described below.
Depending upon User’s license, a license may be used in either Concurrent-Use mode or Node-Locked mode. If an electronic license manager tool is incorporated in the Software Product, the license type will be verified by the Hexagon license system. If not otherwise indicated, User’s Client license type and mode will be a Concurrent-Use Production System License. Each license of the Software Product is subject to the EULA, Use Terms, and Order Documents.
3.1 Production System Licenses are identified, and applicable terms described, below:
3.1.1 Concurrent-Use mode (CC) is a type of Client license that allows for the checking in and checking out of the total available licenses of the Software Product for Users. At any point, User may run as many copies of the Software Product as User has Client licenses. If the Software Product is enabled to be run in a disconnected mode, as set forth in the Documentation, a User may check out a license from the System for disconnected use, thus reducing the total number of licenses available in the license pool until the license is checked back into the System. User is responsible for assuring the number of Users using the Software Product concurrently does not exceed the number of licenses User has purchased, even if the Software Product contains no license manager mechanism. User consents to the use of a license mechanism, license files, hardware keys, and other security devices in connection with the Software Product.
3.1.2 Node-Locked mode (NL) is a type of license that allows a single copy of either a Client or Server-based Software Product to be stored on a hard disk and loaded for execution on a single designated workstation, device, or Server.
3.2 Auxiliary System Licenses are identified, and applicable terms described, below:
231
46700.00100\40935195.1
(BB&K 2017) Exhibit “D”-29
3.2.1 Passive Disaster Recovery License (BCK) is licensed solely for temporary use when manual switchover of the Software Product to the Auxiliary System License is required in the event of failure of the Production System License. This license may be used in the Production system only during the period of failure of the Production System License. In some Hexagon documents, this type of license may be referred to as a “Backup License.” In those instances, please interpret references to “Backup License” as “Passive Disaster Recovery License.”
3.2.2 Development System License (DEV) is a license of a Server-based Software Product that is delivered solely in connection with the Production System License of such Software Product for the purposes of developing and testing User’s website built only with the Software Product. Development System Licenses shall not be used for Production purposes (i.e., a fully deployed website). In some Hexagon documents, this type of license may be referred to as a “Developer’s License.” In those instances, please interpret references to “Developer’s License” as “Development System License.”
3.2.3 Active Disaster Recovery License (RDT) is licensed solely for temporary use when automatic switchover of the Software Product to the Auxiliary System License is required in the event of failure of the Production System License. This license may be used in the Production system only during the period of failure of the Production System License. In some Hexagon documents, this type of license may be referred to as a “Redundant License.” In those instances, please interpret references to “Redundant License” as “Active Disaster Recovery License.”
3.2.4 Test System License (TST) is licensed solely for testing and development purposes. A Test System License may not be used for training purposes.
3.2.5 Training System License (TRN) is licensed solely for training purposes.
3.2.6 Load Balancing License (LOB) is licensed solely to distribute the traffic evenly among multiple Servers.
3.2.7 Secondary License (SEC or TFB) is licensed for non-productive use for training, development, testing, failover, backup, etc. The total quantity of Secondary Licenses cannot exceed the quantity of purchased Production System Licenses.
4.0 RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS.
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Documentation, for a Software Product that is delivered with an Application Programming Interface (“API”) and/or configuration set-up, User may use the API(s) to write User’s own extensions to the Software Product, and User may use the configuration setup to configure the Software Product, but only to the extent permitted by the API(s) and/or configuration setup. Insofar as Hexagon does not transfer to User any rights in Hexagon’s Intellectual Property (as that term is defined in the EULA and/or any other agreement between User and Hexagon that references the Use Terms) by allowing User to write User’s own extensions using the API(s) or to configure the Software Product via the configuration set-up, User hereby agrees and acknowledges that Hexagon retains all rights in its Software Product, API(s), and configuration setup. Hexagon does not make any representations or warranties with respect to such extensions and/or configurations, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Hexagon and its suppliers disclaim all warranties, either express or implied, relating to such extensions and/or configurations, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, high risk use, and non-infringement. User’s use of such extensions and/or configurations is solely at User’s own risk, and subject to applicable law. User hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Hexagon and its suppliers with respect to such extensions and/or configurations.
4.2 For a Software Product that is Node-Locked:
In general, User may not allow the Software Product to be used by multiple Users on a single workstation at the same time. However, if the license is Node-Locked license with remote access, it is intended to allow uncounted Clients to connect to the application Server and does not count the number of connections.
4.3 For Server-based Software Product(s):
232
46700.00100\40935195.1
(BB&K 2017) Exhibit “D”-30
4.3.1 With a single license, User may run multiple websites and provide multiple webservices to User’s client users, provided all websites and webservices reside on the licensed Server.
4.3.2 License fees and installation restrictions for Software Products may be based on the number of Cores present in the Server on which the Software Products are installed. If User’s Software Products are Core based, this section will apply. User is responsible for determining the number of Cores on User’s host Server and ordering the appropriate number of Core licenses. Each license of a Software Product must be installed only on a single Server. For example, a 4 Core license does not permit User to install two copies of a component, each on a 2-Core Server. In a virtualized data processing environment, where hyper-threading, "virtual machine" technology, or other similar techniques create "virtual processors" which do not necessarily correspond to the physical Cores present on the Server, User’s usage rights depend upon the relationship between the number of Cores for which User is licensed, the number of physical Cores present on the host Server, and the number of processors available to the Software Product in the virtualized environment.
Such rights are determined as follows: if the number of Cores for which User is licensed equals or exceeds the number of physical Cores present on the host Server, then additional virtual processors created by hyper-threading or other methods of multi-tasking a physical Core do not violate User’s licensing restriction; however, if User wishes to install the Software Product on a host Server having a greater number of physical Cores present than the number of Cores for which User is licensed, User must operate the Software Product only within a virtual machine that accesses a maximum number of processors (whether virtual, physical, or both) that is less than or equal to the number of Cores for which User is licensed. User may load a Server-based Software Product on multiple machines within a cluster that is acting as a single web Server, provided User has obtained from Hexagon the appropriate quantity of licenses for the number of Cores, and the total number of Cores deployed do not exceed the quantity licensed.
4.3.3 User may not use a Software Product’s java script code for any purpose other than the application for which it was written.
4.3.4 Unless otherwise stated in the Documentation, for Software Products which contain XSL Stylesheets for presenting XML Files, User may only use the XSL Stylesheets and derivative works thereof for the purpose of presenting XML Files and derivative works thereof (collectively, “XML Products”) for User’s enterprise. User may not distribute the XSL Stylesheets or XML Products on a stand-alone basis. XSL Stylesheets may not be used in the production of libelous, defamatory, fraudulent, lewd, obscene, or pornographic material, nor in any material that infringes upon any third party Intellectual Property rights, or otherwise in any illegal manner. All XSL Stylesheets supplied with the Software Product are and will remain the Intellectual Property of Hexagon.
4.3.5 User may not use the Server-based Software Product to operate software-as-aservice or hosting services without the prior written consent of Hexagon.
4.3.6 User may not, and User may not authorize or allow anyone else to, use the Development System License for Production purposes (i.e., a fully deployed website).

SUBJECT: A PROFESSIONAL DESIGN SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RICHARD BRADY AND ASSOCIATES INC. FOR RESERVOIR 925-1A AND WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
November 21, 2023
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a Professional Design Services Agreement with Richard Brady and Associates Inc., of San Diego, California, for design and bid support services for Reservoir 925-1A (Reservoir) and Water Transmission Main Project for an amount of $2,489,355 plus a 15% contingency of $373,403 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,862,758, and a term from November 21, 2023 to November 21, 2026.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed Agreement is for a total amount of $2,489,355 plus a 15% contingency of $373,403 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,862,758. The term of the Agreement will be from November 21, 2023 to November 21, 2026. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Capital Improvement Program includes appropriations for this project from the Ontario Ranch Development Impact Fee (DIF) Fund (DIF Project No.’s WT-010 and WT-014 and Capital Improvement Program No.’s WA 2301 and WA2302). Sufficient DIF funds have been collected through development agreements subject to the NMC Builders, LLC’s First Amended and Restated Agreement for the Construction of Limited Infrastructure Improvements to serve an Easterly Portion of Ontario Ranch. Non-NMC Builder developments including Euclid Land Ventures, LLC (PDA19-001), and Merrill Commerce Center East, LLC (PDA 18-004) will also provide funds according to their respective development agreements. There is no impact to the General fund. 242
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The City’s Water Master Plan identifies water infrastructure improvements that are needed to meet the growing water demands of Ontario Ranch. This project creates a new backbone water infrastructure known as Phase 2B Water Improvements for the west side of Ontario Ranch, and includes the Reservoir, water transmission main from the Reservoir site to the 925-ft. pressure zone in Ontario Ranch, and two new groundwater production wells in the vicinity of the Reservoir site.
Phase 2B Water Improvements in this project includes the design of the 9-million-gallon Reservoir located on Bon View Avenue, north of Francis Street, and approximately 17,200 linear feet of 42- inch transmission main to convey potable water from the Reservoir to the 925-ft. pressure zone connection point at the intersection of Grove Avenue and Eucalyptus Avenue (see Attachment 1).
Professional design services include a preliminary layout of the Reservoir site which will ultimately include groundwater production wells, a groundwater treatment facility, and various other water production equipment and appurtenances. The Agreement will also include a preliminary design report with CEQA document updates, completed construction documents and estimates, and construction bidding support services for the new 925-1A Reservoir and site improvements, and transmission main.
On July 13, 2023, the City received the following three qualified proposals in response to the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Reservoir 925-1A and Water Transmission Main Project:
Proposer Location
Richard Brady and Associates Inc. San Diego, CA
Ardurra Group Inc. Newport Beach, CA
Hazen and Sawyer New York, NY
Staff reviewed the proposals based upon qualifications, understanding of the City’s needs, history of completing similar projects, and criteria specified in the RFP. After careful evaluation, Richard Brady and Associates Inc. of San Diego, California, was selected as the best overall qualified respondent.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations from the Information Technology Fund for consulting services. The proposed Professional Services Agreement term will be for three (3) years, with an optional renewal period for two (2) years, with a contract amount not-to-exceed 298,804, which includes $55,879 for year one, $60,879 for year two, $60,682 for year three, $60,682 for year four, and $60,682 for year five. The fixed billing rates specified in the current Agreement will determine the amount charged for service and reflect the actual service provided.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The consulting firm Collaborative Solutions, LLC has provided the City with on-demand support services for Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) for over five years, on-demand support services for Workday Finance Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for over a year, and was also the City's implementation partner for Workday Finance Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
On June 1, 2018, the City entered an Agreement with Collaborative Solutions, LLC. The original contract amount was $92,160 and included on-demand support services for Workday HCM. On March 10, 2020, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement to increase the amount from $92,160 to $100,000 for additional on-demand support services for Workday HCM.
On May 1, 2020, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to this Agreement to increase the amount from $100,000 to $400,000 and extend the terms for three years to support our Workday 353
HCM. On July 7, 2020, based on the bid awarded to Workday and Collaborative Solutions, LLC for the implementation of a new ERP system, the City Council approved Amendment No. 3 to this Agreement to increase the amount from $400,000 to $2,650,298 to expand the scope of work to include consulting services related to the implementation of the new Workday Finance ERP system.
On August 17, 2021, the City Council approved Amendment No. 4 to this Agreement to increase the amount from $2,650,298 to $3,847,907 to expand the scope to include additional consulting services related to the implementation of the new Workday Finance (ERP) system. On October 18, 2022, the City approved Amendment No. 5 to this Agreement to increase the amount to $3,978,587 to include on-demand support for Workday ERP. On September 30, 2023, our existing Agreement expired.
With a new Agreement, Collaborative Solutions, LLC will provide the City of Ontario with ongoing full-suite Workday support and configuration services by leveraging their deep understanding of the City's Human Resources and Finance configuration and business rules, government experience, and Workday's technology, ensuring proper execution of short-term requirements and long-term growth and flexibility.

Consultant promises and agrees to furnish to the City all labor, materials, tools, equipment, services, and incidental and customary work necessary to fully and adequately supply the professional consulting services necessary for the Project ("Services"). The Services are more particularly described in mutually-agreed upon Statements of Work document(s) (“SOW”) ,which shall be executed by the Parties. In addition, Consultant will provide to the City certain results or proceeds of the Services that are defined as deliverables in each Statement of Work (collectively, the “Deliverables”). All Services shall be subject to, and performed in accordance with, this Agreement, and all applicable local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations related to the performance of Consultant’s Services. Each Statement of Work shall specifically identify this Agreement and indicate that it is subject to the terms hereof. Unless otherwise set forth herein or expressly identified in the SOW as a modification to a specified provision of this Agreement, to the extent there are any conflicts or inconsistencies between this Agreement and any Statement of Work, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. Any Affiliate of Cognizant may itself provide Services directly to Client and any Affiliates of Client under this Agreement by executing SOWs in its own name, exclusive of Consultant, and only for the purposes of any such SOW(s), shall be considered “Consultant” as that term is used in this Agreement.
3.1.2 Term. The term of this Agreement shall be from October 2, 2023 to September 30, 2026, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. The City shall have the unilateral option, at its sole discretion, to renew this Agreement automatically for no more than two additional one-year terms. Consultant shall complete the Services within the term of this Agreement, and shall meet any other established and documented schedules and deadlines. The Parties may, by mutual, written consent, extend the term of this Agreement if necessary to complete the Services.
3.1.3 Deliverables and Acceptance. Deliverables, if any, under this Agreement will be as set forth under any SOW. Each SOW will describe, if applicable, the Deliverables that Consultant is obligated to furnish to City hereunder, the acceptance criteria for each of the Deliverables (the “Acceptance Criteria”) and the completion criteria, if any, to signify completion of each phase of a project. City shall review, evaluate and/or test, as the case may be, each of the Deliverables within the applicable time period set forth in a SOW (with respect to each Deliverable, the “Acceptance Period”) to determine whether or not such Deliverable satisfies the applicable Acceptance Criteria in all material respects. If City does not furnish a written notice to Consultant specifying that a Deliverable has failed to satisfy its Acceptance Criteria in all material respects prior to the end of the Acceptance Period therefor and/or if City commences using the Deliverables commercially or in a production environment, then City will be deemed to have accepted such Deliverable. If any Deliverable fails to satisfy its Acceptance Criteria in any material respect, then City will notify Consultant in writing specifying the respects in which such Deliverable does not conform to the applicable Acceptance Criteria and what modifications are necessary to make it conform thereto. Thereafter, Consultant shall use its diligent commercially reasonable efforts to modify such Deliverable to so conform and the Deliverable will be resubmitted for acceptance by City . If, after repeated attempts, Consultant is unable to remedy any non-conforming portion of any Deliverable, City may terminate pursuant to Section 12.2 herein.

City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
1 Chapter 1 – Introduction
Plan Purpose and Authority
Hazard events can lead to injuries or death, affect a
community's overall health and safety, damage or destroy public and private property, harm ecosystems, and disrupt key services. Although the hazard event itself often gets the most attention, it is only one part of a larger
emergency management cycle.
Emergency planners and
responders can take steps
during the response, recovery,
mitigation, and preparedness
phases of the cycle to
minimize the harm caused by
a disaster. This Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan (LHMP) focuses
on optimizing the mitigation
phase of the cycle. Mitigation
involves making a community
more resilient to disasters so that when hazard events do ultimately occur, the community suffers less damage and can recover more effectively. It differs from preparedness, which involves advanced planning for how best to
respond when a disaster occurs or is imminent. For
example, a policy to make homes structurally stronger so they suffer less damage during an earthquake is a
mitigation action, while fully equipping shelters to
accommodate people who lose their homes in an
earthquake is a preparedness action. Some activities may qualify as both.
Like other communities, the City of Ontario (City) could potentially suffer severe harm from hazard events. Although large disasters may cause widespread devastation, even smaller disasters can have substantial effects. The City cannot make itself completely immune to hazard events, but this LHMP can help make the community a safer place to live, work, and visit. This LHMP provides a comprehensive assessment of the threats that the City faces from natural and human-caused hazard events and a coordinated strategy to reduce these threats. It identifies resources and information that can help community members, City staff, and local officials understand local threats and make informed decisions. The LHMP can also support increased coordination and collaboration HAZARD EVENT:
an emergency due to
a natural or humancaused event that has
the potential to cause
harm.
HAZARD MITIGATION:
any sustained action
taken to reduce or
eliminate long-term risk
to people and property
from natural or humancaused hazards and
their effects.
RESILIENCE:
the capacity of any
entity (an individual, a
community, an
organization, or a
natural system) to
prepare for disruptions,
to recover from shocks
and stresses, and to
adapt and grow from a
disruptive experience.
393
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
2 between the City, other public agencies, local employers, service providers, community members, and other key stakeholders.
Federal Authority
The City is not required to prepare an LHMP, but
state and federal regulations encourage it. The
federal Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Act, amended by the Disaster
Management Act of 2000, creates a federal
framework for local hazard mitigation planning. It
states that jurisdictions that wish to be eligible for
federal hazard mitigation grant funding must
prepare a hazard mitigation plan that meets a
certain set of guidelines and submit this plan to the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
for review and approval. The following regulations
and guidelines apply to this plan:
FEDERAL LAWS
• Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as amended.
FEDERAL REGULATIONS
• 44 CFR Part 201 Mitigation Planning.
• 44 CFR, Part 60, Subpart A, including § 60.3 Flood
plain management criteria for flood-prone areas.
• 44 CFR Part 77 Flood Mitigation Grants.
• 44 CFR Part 206 Subpart N. Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
FEDERAL GUIDANCE
• FEMA Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide (FP 206-21-0002), effective April 19, 2023 State Authority
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 8685.9 AND 65302.6
California Government Code Section 8685.9 (also known as Assembly Bill 2140) limits the State of California's share of disaster relief funds paid out to local governments to 75 percent of the funds not paid for by federal disaster relief efforts unless the jurisdiction has adopted a valid hazard mitigation plan consistent with the Disaster Management Act of 2000 and has incorporated the hazard mitigation plan into the jurisdiction's general plan.
In these cases, the State may cover more than 75 percent of the remaining disaster relief costs.
All cities and counties in California must prepare a general plan, including a safety element that addresses various hazard conditions and other public safety issues. The safety element may be a stand-alone chapter or incorporated into another section, as the community wishes. California Government Code Section 65302.6 indicates that a community may adopt an LHMP into its safety element if the LHMP meets applicable FEMA Local Mitigation Planning Policy
Guide provides the official policy and
interpretation of the applicable statutes
and mitigation planning regulations in 44
Code of Federal Regulations
394
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
3 state requirements. This allows communities to use the LHMP to satisfy state requirements for safety elements. As the General Plan is an overarching long-term plan for community growth and development, incorporating the LHMP into it creates a stronger mechanism for implementing the LHMP.
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65302 (G)(4)
California Government Code Section 65302 (g)(4), also known as Senate Bill (SB) 379, requires that the safety element of a community's general plan address the hazards created or exacerbated by climate change. The safety element must identify how climate change is expected to affect hazard conditions in the community and include measures to adapt and be more resilient to these anticipated changes.
Because the LHMP can be incorporated into the safety element, including these items in the LHMP can satisfy the state requirement. SB 379 requires that climate change be addressed in the safety element when the LHMP is updated after January 1, 2017, for communities that already have an LHMP, or by January 1, 2022, for communities without an LHMP.
This LHMP is consistent with current standards and regulations, as outlined by the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and FEMA. It uses the best available science, and its mitigation actions/strategies reflect best practices and community values. It meets the requirements of current state and federal guidelines and makes the City eligible for all appropriate benefits under state and federal law and practices. Note that while FEMA is responsible for reviewing and certifying this LHMP, and Cal OES is responsible for conducting a preliminary review, it does not grant FEMA or Cal OES any increased role in the governance of the City or authorize either agency to take any specific action in the community.
Plan Organization and Use
The Ontario LHMP is both a reference document and an action plan. It has information and resources to educate readers and decision-makers about hazard events and related issues and a comprehensive strategy that the City and community members can follow to improve its resilience. It is divided into the following chapters:
• Chapter 1: Introduction. This chapter describes the background of the Plan, its goals and objectives, and the process used in its development. • Chapter 2: Community Profile. This chapter discusses the history of Ontario, its physical setting and land uses, its demographics, and other important community characteristics.
• Chapter 3: Hazard Assessment. This chapter identifies and describes the hazards that pose a threat to Ontario and discusses past and future events and the effects of climate change.
• Chapter 4: Vulnerability Assessment. This chapter describes the threat of each hazard on Ontario's key facilities and community members, including socially vulnerable individuals.
395
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
4 • Chapter 5: Mitigation Strategy. This chapter lists the mitigation actions to reduce Ontario's vulnerability to hazard events and provides an overview of the community's existing capabilities to improve hazard resilience. • Chapter 6: Plan Maintenance. This chapter summarizes the process for implementing, monitoring, and updating the LHMP and opportunities for continued public involvement.
Previous Ontario LHMP
The 2018 Ontario LHMP was adopted by the Ontario City Council on December 4, 2018.
This plan is currently active and is set to expire on December 28, 2023. An active plan allows the City to maintain its eligibility for FEMA hazard mitigation grant funding sources, which occur annually through FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs budgeted by Congress or periodically as a part of a federally declared disaster. As part of the TOP 2050 (Ontario’s General Plan) adoption that occurred on August 16, 2022, the 2018 LHMP was integrated into the Safety Element.
Key updated elements from the previous Ontario LHMP include the following:
• Updated Plan Goals below, which were modified to better suit the changing priorities of the City, especially after the recent adoption of their General Plan. • Updated hazard profiles and vulnerability assessment that integrates the recently adopted General Plan, Housing Element, and Climate Adaptation Vulnerability Assessment.
• Incorporation of updated demographics and development trends into the Community Profile.
• Updated hazard profiles with additional historic events information. • Updated Capabilities Assessment to meet new FEMA requirements and guidance. • Updated Mitigation Actions and Strategies (Table 5-3), which includes progress on previous actions (Table 5-4).
Plan Goals
This Plan was developed to broadly increase resilience in Ontario. The following key goals were developed for the City's LHMP:
• Increase readiness for all hazards.
• Continue to reduce fire hazards.
• Minimize exposure to structural and content damage from geologic and seismic conditions.
• Provide adequate protection to minimize damage from flooding and dam inundation.
• Use anti-terrorism strategies to discourage terrorism and protect the people, infrastructure, and assets from these effects.
• Reduce the impacts of climate change on the city and limit human activities that change the atmosphere's makeup.
• Reduce the risk of injury, property damage, and economic loss resulting from windrelated hazards. 396
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
5 These goals are very similar to the 2018 goals; however, some modifications were made to streamline the language, ensure greater consistency with the City's General Plan Safety Element, and align with the community's priorities identified during the TOP 20501 process.
Planning Process
State and federal guidance for LHMPs do not require that jurisdictions follow a standardized planning process. FEMA encourages communities to create their own planning process that reflects local values, goals, and characteristics. FEMA does suggest a general planning process that follows these general milestones:
For the City of Ontario, the planning process used to create this plan is described below.
Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee
The City established a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (hereafter referred to as the HMPC). The HMPC comprises representatives from key City departments and stakeholder members, including representatives from local and regional agencies and companies that are key to hazard mitigation activities. Table 1-1 identifies the members that were invited and/or attended HMPC meetings.

City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
7 HMPC Meeting #1 (September 7, 2022): The HMPC members confirmed the project goals and the responsibilities. They revised the community engagement and outreach strategy, confirmed and prioritized the hazards to be included in the Plan, and identified critical facilities for the threat assessment.
HMPC Meeting #2 (October 5, 2022): Members held a detailed discussion about the results of the hazards assessment and mapping that showed the areas facing an elevated risk. The HMPC also reviewed the hazard prioritization results.
HMPC Meeting #3 (October 27, 2022): The HMPC reviewed the results of the risk assessment to identify the populations and assets that may face greater harm in a hazard event. The HMPC also discussed potential hazard mitigation actions to address vulnerabilities.
Invitations to HMPC meetings, as well as agendas/materials, were provided via email.
Appendix A contains copies of HMPC meeting materials including meeting agendas, sign-in sheets, and other relevant materials distributed to attendees for these meetings.
Public Engagement
Under FEMA guidelines, local hazard mitigation planning processes should create opportunities for members of the public to be involved in plan development—at a minimum, during the initial drafting stage and during plan approval. The HMPC chose to go beyond minimum standards and conduct more extensive community outreach to help ensure that the LHMP reflects community values, concerns, and priorities. The HMPC developed a community engagement and outreach strategy to guide all public engagement activities. To ensure all residents were aware of the project, Ontario staff promoted and included a description of the project and ways to get involved on the City's website; this is discussed in more detail in the online engagement section.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The City conducted a virtual stakeholder meeting with representatives from surrounding cities (City of Chino Hills and City of Rancho Cucamonga), the Ontario Convention Center, and the Ontario International Airport.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
In-person engagement opportunities were a central component of the City's engagement efforts. These meetings provided an opportunity for members of the public to learn about the hazards of concern identified by the HMPC during this update. City staff presented the LHMP information and survey at the CERT Monthly Volunteer Meeting.
Additionally, City staff advertised the survey at two other public events. Notices of each meeting were widely distributed in advance in accordance with City notification requirements, the engagement strategy, legal requirements, and best practices.
Public Engagement Opportunity #1 October 2022: This engagement opportunity was conducted at a Health and Safety Fair, reaching approximately 120 people. Of the 120, 5 people had access and functional needs. Other demographics intentionally targeted for engagement included families with children living in the home, people with chronic conditions, people with mental/social/emotional health conditions, and low-income individuals or families. City staff distributed preparedness materials at the event, including the City of Ontario Emergency Preparedness Guide. They also garnered interest and public participation in our Local Hazard Mitigation Planning process. Attendees scanned QR codes leading to a survey created to gain public buy-in for hazard identification and 400
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
9 mitigation efforts. The data collected from the responses to the survey were used to update the LHMP.
Public Engagement Opportunity #2 December 2022: This engagement opportunity was conducted at the Reindeer 5k Run, reaching approximately 200 people. Of the 200 people, 20 were seniors or older adults, and 70 were from households with limited English proficiency. Other demographics intentionally targeted for engagement included families with children living in the home, people with chronic conditions, people with mental/social/emotional health conditions, and low-income individuals or families.
Appendix B includes a copy of the materials used to promote these engagement opportunities.
ONLINE ENGAGEMENT
The City recognized that not all community members are able to attend public meetings and conducted public engagement through social media and online platforms. To assist with engagement, the City set up a project website as a simple, one-stop location for community members to learn about the LHMP. The website included information about what an LHMP is and why the City prepared one. It had links to materials and Plan documents as they became available and allowed members of the public to receive notifications about upcoming events.
The City also promoted the planning process through the following online methods:
• Ontario's City Website
• Social Media (Facebook, NextDoor, Twitter)
City of Ontario LHMP Webpage
401
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
10 • Community E-newsletter (LHMP information was sent to 10,865 subscribers in the November 2022 and January 2023 newsletters)
• Distribution of information to their extensive CERT Member List Based on analytics tracked by the City, the combined Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram impression rate was 18,756.
ONLINE SURVEY
A central part of the engagement strategy was an online survey. This survey asked community members about their experience and familiarity with emergency conditions, their level of preparedness for future emergencies, and preferred actions for the City to take to increase resiliency. The survey was distributed to over 12,000 individuals from the City's notification lists and had responses from 133 individuals. A summary of these responses is provided here:
• Nearly 40% of respondents live in Ontario, with an additional 18% that live and work in Ontario.
• Approximately 64% of respondents have not been impacted by a disaster in their current residence. Understanding this drove the City to expand outreach to residents as part of their emergency management preparedness. • The top three hazards of concern for respondents were Extreme Weather (High winds, Extreme Heat Days, Severe Rainstorms), Earthquake/Geologic Hazards, and Human-caused Hazards (Transportation Incidents, Communications Failure, Terrorism). These responses confirmed that the concerns identified by City staff during the planning process were similar to residents that responded. • Approximately 90% of respondents showed concern regarding climate change affecting future hazards. This response reinforced the value of the General Plan Climate Adaptation Vulnerability Assessment and how it was integrated into this update.
As part of the outreach strategy, a QR code was created that could be used on promotional materials and handouts at fairs and booths used by City staff at community events. This QR Code provided quick access to the City's Online Survey.
Appendix B contains copies of all materials used for public outreach, including the full results of the community survey.
Public Review Draft
On May 15, 2023, the City released a draft copy of the LHMP for public review and comment. The document was posted electronically on the City's website and included a Google form to accept comments from reviewers. Notifications about the public review draft were provided through social media accounts and other online sources as well as during a public review meeting that included over 250 invitees from the City's prior CERT classes. Four people completed the survey indicating they had reviewed the 402
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
11 document. As part of the survey, 3 of 4 respondents indicated the plan was easy to access, read, and understand. Respondents also indicated that they found out about the public review plan via the City's website, social media posts, and through the public review meeting that included prior CERT members. Public comments on the Draft Plan did not require any revisions. The following is a summary of the comments received:
• Please drop the climate change baloney.
• Please make it available in multiple languages
• Accessibility should be at the forefront of your planning to be as inclusive as you can
As a result of these comments, City staff plans on taking steps to assist residents with accessibility issues and translation into different languages after adoption.
Plan Revision and Adoption
The public review period for the City's LHMP ended on June 9, 2023. Since none of the comments required edits or modification to the plan content, the City submitted the plan to Cal OES and FEMA, initiating the agency review process on June 14, 2023.
Upon completion of the formal agency review process, City staff submitted the LHMP for final adoption. The Ontario City Council adopted the final LHMP on [DAY MONTH, YYYY].
Appendix C contains a copy of the adoption resolution.
Plan Resources
The City used several different plans, studies, technical reports, datasets, and other resources to prepare the hazard assessment, mapping, threat assessment, and other components of this Plan. Table 1-2 provides some of the primary resources the HMPC used to prepare this Plan.

history, economy and demographics,
current and future land uses, and key
infrastructure. The Community Profile helps to
establish the baseline conditions in Ontario,
which inform the development of the hazard
mitigation actions in Chapter 5.
Setting and Location
The City of Ontario is located in the Inland
Empire in Western San Bernardino County,
approximately 35 miles east of Los Angeles
and 20 miles west of San Bernardino on a flat
alluvial plain at the base of the San Gabriel
Mountains. The City is bordered by the
neighboring cities of Upland, Montclair,
Chino, Rancho Cucamonga, and Fontana.

16 History
In the first week of August 1881, George Chaffey, a Canadian engineer, viewed the wastes known as the Cucamonga Desert and decided that this patch of land, if properly watered, could become productive and profitable. George and his brother William bought the "San Antonio lands," 6,218 acres with water rights, for $60,000. This was the nucleus of their new model colony. They subsequently expanded to the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks on the south. On the north, they took in the Kincaid Ranch at San Antonio Canyon, an all-important source of water.
The Ontario Colony lands were quickly surveyed and went on sale in November 1882. The centerpiece was Euclid Avenue, eight miles long and two hundred feet wide, the twin "driveways" separated by a parkway that was seeded in grass and lined with pepper trees. George named Euclid Avenue after the great Greek mathematician whose book Elements of Geometry had been a favorite subject for George in school. The primary requirement, which had to be met before the land could be utilized, was that water had to be found and brought to the town. Chaffey laid miles of cement pipe for this purpose, and later the San Antonio Water Co. drove a tunnel into the head of the canyon to tap the underground flow—then an innovation in the field. The need for electric power to lift water from deep wells led to the establishment of the Ontario Power Co.
Another innovation in the settlement of Ontario was the provision whereby purchasers of land automatically received shares in the water company. This would ensure purchasers that a share of water proportional to their acreage would be piped to their land. This eliminated many problems that faced settlers elsewhere, where land and water rights were kept separate.
Charles Frankish became the guiding force during Ontario's early years. No matter what activity he undertook, Frankish always threw himself into his work and was determined to do the best possible job.
In 1887, Ontario's unique "gravity mule car" made its first run on Euclid Avenue. Charles Frankish and Godfrey Stamm established the Ontario and San Antonio Heights R.R. Co.
Engineer John Tays of Upland added the pull-out trailer that allowed the mules to coast downhill after each laborious pull from Holt to Twenty–Fourth Street. The mule car served until 1895 when it was replaced by an electric streetcar and returned temporarily when a flood damaged the electrical generator in the powerhouse.
On December 10, 1891, Ontario was incorporated as a city of the sixth class under the California Constitution. It adopted a City Council-City Manager form of government. The mayor was at first called the "President of the chosen by the Council, or the Board of Trustees as it was then called, from among their number. Subsequently, the law was changed to allow the people to elect the mayor directly.
Ontario first developed as an agricultural community, largely but not exclusively devoted to citrus. A few of the lovely Victorian "grove houses" still survive, relics of the days when 408
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
17 growers could pretend that they were living the graceful lives of the old Spanish dons— until it came time for harvest.
Chaffey College, located where the Chaffey brothers established it until 1960, originally emphasized agricultural subjects to give the growers a hand. It was there that Prof.
George Weldon developed the Babcock peach, an adaptation to California's mild winters. The college has moved to Rancho Cucamonga now, but Chaffey High School is still on what was originally a joint campus.
A reminder of the heyday of the San Bernardino groves, the Sunkist plant remains to this day. Even though the groves have gone from the West End, Ontario is still close to the "ton-mile center" of the industry. In addition to oranges, the production of peaches, walnuts, lemons, and grapes were also important to the growth of Ontario and the adjoining City of Upland.
In 1923, Judge Archie Mitchell, Waldo Waterman, and other airplane enthusiasts established Latimer Field. From that time on, the town became increasingly aviation conscious. Urban growth pushed the fliers progressively east until they took up their present location, the Ontario International Airport. During World War II, this was a busy training center for pilots of the hot Lockheed P-38 "Lightning" twin-boom fighter.
Since World War II, Ontario has become a much more diversified community with an approximate population of 175,518 (2020 Decennial Census). The city has expanded from the 0.38 square mile area incorporated back in 1891 to almost 50 square miles. The economy now reflects an industrial and manufacturing base. Ten thousand acres are zoned for industrial use. With three major railroads, the San Bernardino, Pomona, and Devore Freeways (I-10, SR 60, and I-15), and the Ontario International Airport, Ontario is well provided with major transportation resources. Its proximity to Los Angeles ensures that Ontario will continue to grow in the years ahead. 3
Demographics
The data used in this section comes from the most comprehensive American Community Survey (ACS 5-Year Estimates 2016-2020), administered by the United States Census Bureau (US Census) completed in 2020, the 2020 Decennial Census, and 2022 Census estimates. Based on these datasets, Ontario's 2020 population was estimated to be 175,518, with a median age of 32.3, which is 1.3 years younger than the rest of San Bernardino County (33.6 years old). Comparatively, the number of senior residents aged 65 and older is less than the rest of San Bernardino County, while Ontario residents have a slightly higher median income that the rest of the County. In addition, a higher proportion of Ontario residents rent compared to San Bernardino County. Table 2-1 shows the basic demographics for Ontario and San Bernardino County. It should be noted that more recent population estimates place the city's population at 178,194 residents, which is an increase of about 7.9% from the last census in 2010, showing us the city has 3 City of Ontario Website, https://www.ontarioca.gov/FactsAndHistory 409

18 experienced population growth over the last decade. According to the 2022 San Bernardino County Continuum of Care Homeless Count and Survey, the city has a homeless population of 193 people (105 unsheltered and 88 sheltered). The 2022 count shows an 89% increase in homeless population from 2020. It can be assessed that the number of homeless people in the city are likely to be higher than reported, as it is extremely difficult to count people living in cars, abandoned buildings, and other deserted places. Additionally, some of the homeless population may not wish to be found.

The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is mandated by State Housing Law as part of the periodic update of General Plan housing elements. Through the RHNA process a community decides how to address existing and future housing needs resulting from population, employment, and household growth. 4
The City recently completed a comprehensive update to the city's General Plan called The Ontario Plan 2050 (TOP 2050). This collection of documents will help guide the development and conservation of the City over the next 30 years. According to TOP 2050, the city is anticipating major growth in both the number of residential units and corresponding population. Table 2-8 depicts this anticipated growth and development that will meet the City's RHNA allocation requirements.

Source: The Ontario Plan 2050 Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, City of Ontario Based on this the TOP 2050 update projects an increase in residential dwelling units, growth in both population, and non residential development, however this anticipated development is expected to result in a reduction in employment.
These proposed changes would see strictly commercial and office use areas converted to mixed-use or residential areas, as well as intensification of residential density in certain key sites to higher density uses. The proposed changes in TOP 2050 will also have long term effects which reflect anticipated market trends including an increase in residential development, reduced office growth, and a small increase in commercial development.
Changes to housing and population characteristics include a reduction trend in household sizes, and a residential occupancy rate which includes a 4-5% vacancy of all housing units (turnover, sales, etc.). Changes to the employment generation rates assumed in TOP 2050 were designed to reflect the national employment trends, such as the reduction in office space required for employees as work from home options increase, changes in industrial jobs as robotic automation increases in both the large 4 What is RHNA? https://scag.ca.gov/rhna

23 warehousing and logistic centers decreasing the number of jobs per square foot, and an increase in the demand for commercial and hospitality jobs. 5 Figure 2-2 displays the areas of proposed land use changes that will accommodate the adopted land use changes within TOP 2050. A majority of the new development anticipated in the City will occur in Ontario Ranch area as well as four key growth areas (Downtown Growth Area, the West Holt Growth Area, the East Holt Growth Area, and the Ontario Airport Metro Center [OAMC]).
Vulnerability and Risk Reduction
All new development occurring in the areas of change identified in Figure 2-2 will provide hazard vulnerability and risk reduction for the city. This reduction will occur due to the anticipated improvements and investments implemented in the older parts of the City as a result of TOP 2050. In addition, the new developments that will be built will comply with the most up-to-date building codes and use the latest techniques, further reducing vulnerabilities throughout the City.
Major Community Elements
Institutional Uses
Education is a major component of the city's identity. The city boasts multiple universities, vocational and trade schools, and community colleges, such as the University of La Verne College of Law, University of Phoenix, American Career College, UEI College, DeVry University, and San Joaquin Valley College to name some of these institutions. With thousands of students enrolled and attending classes, the daytime population of Ontario can increase significantly. The vast majority of these schools are located along the I-10 freeway corridor, which bisects the city.

27 Open Space / Ontario 'Great' Park
Ontario is currently home to 30 recreational parks of various sizes, the West Cucamonga Creek Trail System, and a public golf course. Ontario has recently undertaken a massive project to begin constructing The Ontario 'Great' Park, which is located in the in the Ontario Ranch planning area, generally bounded by Ontario Ranch Road on the north, Eucalyptus Avenue on the south, Haven Avenue on the east, and Campus Avenue on the west. The Ontario 'Great' Park is approximately 3.7 miles long (east to west) and 340 acres in size. The Ontario 'Great' Park is envisioned as a focal point for the region, serving the City of Ontario's recreational and open space needs. 10 Infrastructure Assessment
Infrastructure plays a vital role in mitigating the effects of hazard events. When infrastructure fails, it can exacerbate the extent of certain hazards or create complications for rescue workers trying to reach victims. For example, fallen utility poles, because of strong winds or seismic activity, can obstruct roadways and prevent emergency vehicles from reaching affected areas. The following are electrical, fossil fuel, hydrologic, and transportation infrastructure networks in Ontario.
Electricity
Ontario receives its electrical supply from Southern California Edison (SCE). Eleven substations are located within the City, connecting 220kV and 66 kV powerlines that run east to west and north to south, circumventing Ontario Airport. These lines bring power to Ontario and the surrounding cities and connect to other regional power sources. These connections help Ontario access auxiliary electricity sources should any of its immediate infrastructure fail. However, a larger and more regional failure of the power grid would likely disrupt power transmission to Ontario for an extended time until power can be restored.
Natural Gas
Ontario receives its natural gas from Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas). To ensure sufficient natural gas transmission throughout the region, SoCalGas owns and operates transmission lines that transect the City. The pipeline splits as it enters the city and traverses the northern section of the city before it enters Montclair and turns south, while the other pipeline branch runs along the eastern section of Ontario before exiting the southwest portion of the city. If these lines are damaged, there is a potential to interrupt the flow and delivery of natural gas throughout the City. Additionally, natural gas ignites very easily, and any rupture in a transmission line could cause additional damage to properties in the vicinity of the leak due to fire from the escaped natural gas.
The presence of this infrastructure creates unique challenges for the city from an emergency management perspective. Including hazards associated with damage to 10 City of Ontario Website, Ontario Great Park
419
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
28 this infrastructure is an important element of an effective response to future incidents involving natural gas use and transmission.
Public Safety Power Shutoff
The State's investor-owned utilities have general authority to shut off electric power to protect public safety under California law. Utilities exercise this authority during severe wildfire threat conditions as a preventative measure of last resort through Public Safety Power Shut offs (PSPS). 1
The City began preparation for PSPS events by understanding the potential circuits that could be impacted (Figure 2-3) and the city needs and special populations that may be affected by these events. These incidents typically occur during high fire threat conditions (i.e., dry conditions and strong winds) and may affect communities located far away from any fires that are actively occurring.
Although the few SCE circuits located within the city
have not been de-energized during past PSPS events,
the city must be prepared in the event that a future PSPS event does affect one of those circuits. Residents and
businesses in these areas are sure to feel the impacts of these events if they do not have alternative options for electricity at their homes and places of business.
These events are anticipated to affect City resources as well since some City facilities rely on electricity to
function. As a result, the City has prioritized back up power generation at City facilities in these affected
areas to ensure residents have a safe place to seek refuge if needed, during these events.
Ontario Municipal Utilities Company
Ontario Municipal Utilities Company (OMUC) provides water, sewer, and assists in trash collection services for the city.
The city's water service area encompasses an area of approximately 49 square miles.
According to the 2020 OMUC Urban Water Management Plan, they provide water service to a population of approximately 178,409 people, with a projected population of over 362,000 people by the fiscal year of 2044-45. OMUC serves a large group of families with special housing needs, including severely low-income earners, single-parent families, large families, seniors, people with disabilities, and homeless persons. The city historically has relied on groundwater pumped from the Chino Basin; treated groundwater from the Chino Basin produced by the Chino Basin Desalter Authority; treated, imported water purchased from Metropolitan Water District (MWD) through Water Facilities Authority; Figure 2-3: SCE Public Safety Power Shutoff
Circuits surrounding the City
420
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
29 groundwater and/or surface water purchased from San Antonio Water Company; and recycled water purchased from Inland Empire Utilities Agency. 11 OMUC is also responsible for the operation and maintenance of an extensive wastewater collection system and is tasked with ensuring proper and efficient operation of the system. Ontario's service area is located within the city limits, with a small portion of the city in the northeast that is serviced by Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD). The City's wastewater collection system consists of approximately 425 miles of gravity lines, 9,400 associated maintenance holes and cleanouts, three city-owned lift stations, one privately owned/city-maintained lift station, over 24,200 feet of associated force mains, and 11 siphons. The system is divided into seven service areas, also referred to as sewer sheds, primarily based on the outlet points where the City's system ties into a downstream facility operated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA). The development and implementation of a wastewater collection system operations and maintenance program ensure that the system is routinely and properly maintained to minimize failures and extend the system's longevity. 12
Trash services are provided by the Integrated Waste Department within the Public Works agency, which is committed to providing reliable, timely, safe, and affordable refuse collection services to the residents and businesses in the City of Ontario. Billing services and information on programs promoting waste minimization and locations for recycling efforts are provided by OMUC on the City's website. 13
Transportation
Much of the transportation infrastructure in Ontario consists of roadways for automobiles, but there are many modes of travel into and out of the city. In total, there are freeways, buses/shuttles, local commuter trains, longer-distance trains, and air travel supporting mobility in and out of the City. For non-motorized travel, the city has an extensive network of pedestrian trails and bicycle paths.
There are 4 freeways/highways, I-10, I-15, and State Route (SR) SR-60 and SR-83 (primarily referred to as Euclid Ave) that connect Ontario to the greater Southern California region.
The interchanges from these freeways and highways connect to major thoroughfares within the City. Table 2-9 identifies these major routes that connect to the City's local transportation network.

33 Chapter 3 – Risk Assessment
This chapter discusses the types of hazards that might reasonably occur in Ontario. It describes these hazards and how they are measured, where in Ontario they may occur, a history of these hazards in and around Ontario, and the future risk they pose. The discussion of future risks includes any changes to the frequency, intensity, and/or location of these hazards due to climate change. This chapter also discusses how the HMPC selected and prioritized the hazards in this Plan.
Hazard Identification
FEMA guidance identifies several hazards that communities should evaluate for inclusion in a hazard mitigation plan. Communities may also consider additional hazards for their plans. The HMPC reviewed the previous hazards in the 2018 plan and discussed other potential hazards, excluding ones that do not pose a threat or are not a significant concern to Ontario. Table 3-1 lists the hazards considered and explains the reasoning for inclusion/exclusion. For context, this table also shows if a hazard is recommended for consideration by FEMA, if it is included in the 2018 California State Hazard Mitigation Plan (SHMP), and if it is included in the San Bernardino County Hazard Mitigation Plan (SBC HMP).
Table 3-1: Hazard Evaluation for Ontario LHMP
Hazard Recommended
for Consideration
Included
in LHMP?
Reason for Inclusion or Exclusion
Agricultural
Pests
SHMP No While historically agricultural activities
have occurred within the southern
portion of the City, these areas are
moving out of the community and being
replaced by new residential, commercial,
and industrial developments. Without the
presence of these large agricultural areas
in the community, the HMPC did not
identify this as a hazard of concern for
the City.
Air Pollution SHMP No Air pollution is a state and regional issue that is addressed through plans and
regulations administered by the South
Coast Air Quality Management District
and/or California Air Resources Board.
Since the City does not regulate these
resources, the HMPC did not identify this
as a hazard of concern that could be
addressed in this plan.
Aircraft Incident SHMP No Ontario International Airport is located within the City. This facility is operated
under a Joint Powers Agreement that the
City is party to, however the JPA
conducts all planning activities for the
425
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
34 facility. Given the lack of control over this
asset and few past incidents associated
with aircraft incidents have occurred, the
HMPC determined that this hazard should
not be included in the plan.
Aquatic
Invasive
Species
SHMP No There are no major riparian environments
in Ontario where aquatic invasive species
could endanger the community.
Avalanche FEMA guidance
SHMP
No Ontario is not located within potential
avalanche zones.
Civil
Disturbance or
Riot
SHMP No The HMPC determined that the City
includes a number of areas where large
populations visit/congregate (Ontario
International Airport, Toyota Arena,
Ontario Mills, Ontario Convention Center,
etc.), however these locations have not
experience significant issues associated
with civil disturbance. For this reason, the
HMPC did not identify this as a hazard of
concern.
Climate
Change
SHMP
SBC HMP
Yes Climate change is discussed as a
function of each relevant hazard and is
mentioned throughout the Plan.
Coastal
Flooding and
Storm
FEMA guidance
SHMP
No Ontario is not located along the coast of
California. Coastal flooding and storms
are not anticipated to impact the
community.
Cyber Threats SHMP Yes With the increase in cyber threats occurring throughout California and the
nation, the HMPC is concerned about
their effects on communications. This
hazard is addressed as a function of
communications failure.
Dam Failure FEMA guidance
SHMP
SBC HMP
Yes Ontario is located downstream of dams
that could inundate the community. Due
to City's location downstream of these
facilities, the HMPC identified dam failure
as a hazard of concern.
Drought SHMP
SBC HMP
No The HMPC is confident in the current
hydrologic infrastructure and supply for
the City. The HMPC does not consider
drought to be a local issue alone, but
rather a regional one. It is addressed in
both the State and San Bernardino
County HMP's.
Energy
Shortage
SHMP No While energy shortage has the potential
to occur in Ontario, the risk associated
with this is similar to surrounding
communities. While loss of power could
occur, the bigger concern for the City is
the effects this could have on
communications infrastructure.
426
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
35 Epidemic,
Pandemic,
Vector-Borne
Disease
SHMP No Ontario is in San Bernardino County,
which has experienced several healthrelated incidents in the past. The City, along with the rest of the country, has
recently responded to the COVID-19
pandemic, which has impacted staff and
resources. However, the HMPC felt it was
best to address this issue in the City's
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).
Erosion FEMA guidance
SHMP
No Due to its relatively flat nature and lack of
hills, the HMPC did not identify erosion as
a hazard of concern for the City.
Expansive Soil FEMA guidance No Expansive soils were not identified by the HMPC as a hazard of concern. While they
could exist, the City requires compliance
with the California Building Code, which is
intended to mitigate hazards associated
with this condition.
Extreme Cold FEMA guidance
SHMP
No Temperatures in Ontario do not fall to a
level that would be considered a danger
to public safety. Due to this the HMPC did
not identify this as a hazard of concern.
Extreme Heat FEMA guidance
SHMP
Yes Extreme heat has occurred in Ontario
and is expected to be a future recurring
issue. This issue was identified by the
HMPC as a hazard of concern and
included in the Extreme Weather profile.
Fault Rupture FEMA guidance
SHMP
SBC HMP
No There are no known Alquist-Priolo fault
zones located within Ontario. As a result,
the HMPC did not identify this as a hazard
of concern to the City.
Flooding FEMA guidance
SHMP
Yes Several watercourses transect the City
and are identified within FEMA flood
hazard zones. While significant flooding
events have not significantly affected
properties within the City recently, the
presence of these flood zones indicates
the potential for future hazards. The
HMPC identified flooding as a hazard of
concern included in the Flooding profile.
Fracking SHMP No Fracking does not occur in Ontario.
Hail FEMA guidance No Hail that is severe enough to pose a threat to people and property is too rare
in Ontario to be included.
Hazardous
Materials
release
SHMP Yes The presence of uses for storing,
manufacturing, disposing, and
transporting hazardous materials was
identified as a concern for the HMPC. In
addition, several major roadways,
freeways, and rail lines transecting the
City allow for the transport of these
materials that could endanger the
427
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
36 community if a release into the
environment were to occur.
Hurricane FEMA guidance
SHMP
No Hurricanes do not occur in Ontario.
Infrastructure
Failure
SHMP No Infrastructure failure can pose a threat to
people and property in Ontario. A
discussion of infrastructure failure is
discussed as a function of other hazards.
Landslide FEMA guidance
SHMP
No No areas within the City of Ontario have
existing landslides or the potential for
landslides to occur. As a result, the HMPC
did not identify this as a hazard of
concern to the city.
Levee Failure SHMP No While levees are located within the City, they were not deemed a significant
concern. These levees are owned and
managed by San Bernardino County and
the City does not have the authority to
address these facilities but coordinates
with the County on issues and upgrades.
Based on this, the HMPC did not include
Levee failure as a hazard of concern.
Lightning FEMA guidance No Although lightning does occasionally occur in Ontario, it does not pose a
significant threat to people or property.
Liquefaction FEMA guidance
SHMP
SBC HMP
No According to mapping prepared by the
California Geological Survey, the City is
not located within liquefaction prone
areas. The HMPC did not identify this as a
hazard of concern.
Methanecontaining SoilsSBC HMP No The City does not have methanecontaining soils that pose a threat to the public health and safety of residents and
businesses. The HMPC did not identify this
as a hazard of concern to the City.
Natural Gas
Pipeline
Hazards
SHMP No Natural gas pipelines traverse Ontario,
posing a danger to people and property
if they were to breach and release their
contents. This condition is discussed in the
Community Profile in Chapter 2 and is
discussed in the vulnerability assessment
where applicable.
Oil Spills SHMP No There is no history of oil drilling and extraction within the City. Based on this,
the HMPC did not identify this as a hazard
of concern to the City.
Power Failure SHMP No While power loss events can occur in the City, the HMPC determined that this
hazard shouldn't be addressed within the
LHMP and is better suited as a hazard
addressed in the City's EOP.
428
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
37 Radiological
Accidents
SHMP No There are no known major sources of
radiation in Ontario or the immediate
surrounding area that could pose a
serious threat to the community.
Sea-level Rise FEMA guidance
SHMP
No The City is not located along the coast or
near any large bodies of seawater. The
HMPC did not identify this as a hazard of
concern for the City
Seiche FEMA guidance
SHMP
No There are no major bodies of water in
Ontario that could be subjected to
seiche.
Seismic Shaking FEMA guidance
SHMP
SBC HMP
Yes Ontario is in a seismically active area
where shaking can be severe enough to
damage property or cause loss of life. For
this reason, the HMPC determined it
should be addressed in this plan.
Severe Wind FEMA guidance Yes Severe Weather includes discussions regarding extreme heat, severe wind,
and rain, which are weather-related
hazards that are most common in
Ontario.
Severe Weather
and Storms
FEMA guidance
SHMP
SBC HMP
Yes Severe Weather includes discussions
regarding extreme heat, severe wind,
and rain, which are weather-related
hazards that are most common in
Ontario.
Storm Surge FEMA guidance No Ontario is not a coastal community. The HMPC did not identify this as a hazard of
concern to the City.
Subsidence FEMA guidance Yes The HMPC believed that subsidence could occur with significant groundwater
pumping. Subsidence is not discussed as
a stand-alone hazard but rather is a
function of the geologic hazards profile.
Terrorism SHMP Yes The HMPC was concerned about
terrorism incidents posing a threat to
public safety given the number of
significant locations that could be
considered targets within the City. A
discussion of this is in the Human-Caused
Hazards profile.
Thunderstorm SHMP No Thunderstorms that cause damage and endanger public safety are rare in the
Southern California region. The HMPC did
not identify this as a hazard of concern.
Tornadoes FEMA guidance
SHMP
No No tornadoes are known to have
occurred in Ontario. The HMPC did not
identify this as a hazard of concern.
Transportation
Accidents
SHMP Yes Due to the presence of major freeways,
roadways, railroad lines, and the Ontario
International Airport located in and
429
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
38 After hazard evaluation and the organizational changes made by the HMPC, this Plan discusses seven broad hazard types with their respective sub-categories:
Hazard Type Sub-Categories
Earthquake/Geologic Hazards Seismic Shaking
Subsidence
Flooding
Extreme Weather Severe Winds
Extreme Heat
Severe Rainstorm
Dam Failure/Inundation
Urban Fire
Hazardous Materials Release
Human-Caused Hazards Terrorism
Transportation Incidents
Communications Failure
Climate Change Discussed in all Hazard Categories
around the City, transportation accidents
could endanger public safety. A
discussion of this is in the Human-Caused
Hazards profile.
Tree Mortality SHMP No The HMPC noted that the City's has a significant number of trees, however the
City currently manages these resources
effectively and did not feel it was
necessary to profile as a hazard of
concern.
Tsunami FEMA guidance
SHMP
No Ontario is not a coastal community. The
HMPC did not identify this as a hazard of
concern to the City
Urban Fire SHMP
SBC HMP
Yes The HMPC identified urban fires as a risk
to property and life in Ontario.
Volcano SHMP No There are no volcanoes near Ontario to
reasonably pose a threat. The HMPC did
not identify this as a hazard of concern to
the City
Wildfire FEMA guidance
SHMP
No The city does not have any high fire
hazard severity zones, nor is it located
next to a wildland-urban interface area.
Because of this, the HMPC did not identify
this as a hazard of concern to the City;
Urban Fire is the main risk to Ontario.

City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
39 Hazard Scoring and Prioritization
Once the hazards for Ontario have been identified, the hazards are then given a priority ranking. In the Hazard Assessment Matrix below, the "Red" zone represents the highest priority hazards, the "Yellow" zone represents middle priority, and the "Green" zone represents the lowest priority hazards. As shown in Hazard Assessment Matrix, the two hazards considered the greatest threat to the City of Ontario are earthquake and flood, followed closely by extreme weather (EW) events. The hazard profiles and risk assessment that follow describe these hazards in-depth, reviews the exposure of assets to these hazards, and estimate losses or assess risk for significant events associated with these hazards.
In addition to the simple prioritization exercise, the HMPC followed FEMA guidance (see Table 3-2) for hazard mitigation plans and prioritized each of the hazards identified. In the initial step, it assigned a score of 1 to 4 for each of the hazards for the following criteria:
• Probability: The likelihood that the hazard will occur in Ontario in the future. • Location: The size of the area that the hazard would affect. • Maximum probable extent: The severity of the direct damage of the hazard to Ontario.
• Secondary impacts: The severity of indirect damage of the hazard to Ontario.
The HMPC assigned a weighting value to each criterion, giving a higher weight to the criteria deemed more important, and multiplied the score for each criterion by weighing the factor to determine the overall score for each criterion. These weighting values were recommended by FEMA:
• Probability: 2.0
• Location: 0.8
• Maximum probable extent: 0.7
• Secondary impacts: 0.5

40 Table 3-2 shows the Criterion Scoring used to assign a score for each criterion.
After calculating the total impact score for each hazard (sum of the location, maximum probable extent, and the secondary impact). FEMA guidance recommends multiplying the total impact score by the overall probability to determine the final score for each hazard. A final score between 0 and 12 is considered a low-threat hazard, 12.1 to 42 is a medium-threat hazard, and a score above 42 is considered a high-threat hazard. This final score determines the prioritization of the hazards.
In compliance with the Disaster Mitigation Act (and as further specified by Interim Final Rule 44 CFR Section 206.401(c)(2)(i)), this LHMP addresses, in substantial detail, the primary hazards facing the City. Lower priority hazards are addressed at a lesser level of detail due to their relatively reduced impacts, as identified in the hazard assessment discussion.

Earthquake / Geologic Hazards
Earthquake and geologic hazards of concern in Ontario include seismic shaking and subsidence.
DESCRIPTION
An earthquake is a sudden slip on an active fault, and the resulting shaking and radiated seismic energy caused by the slip (USGS, 2009). The majority of major active faults in the Ontario area are strike-slip faults. For this type of fault, during an earthquake event, one side of a fault line slides past the other. The rupture from this type of fault extends almost vertically into the ground.
Earthquakes are a significant concern to the City of Ontario. The area around Ontario is seismically active since it is situated on the boundary between two tectonic plates.
Earthquakes can cause serious structural damage to buildings, overlying aqueducts, transportation facilities, and utilities and can lead to loss of life. In addition, earthquakes can cause collateral emergencies, including dam and levee failures, fires, and landslides.
SEISMIC SHAKING
Seismic shaking is the shaking felt on the surface caused by an earthquake. In most cases, earthquakes are not powerful enough to feel the shaking. However, powerful earthquakes can generate significant shaking, causing widespread destruction and property damage. As previously discussed, earthquakes are considered a major threat to the City of Ontario due to the proximity of several regional fault zones. Major fault zones in the region include the San Andreas Fault, located approximately 14 miles northeast of the city, the San Jacinto Fault, located approximately 7 miles northeast of the city, the Elsinore Fault, located approximately 3 miles southeast of the city, and the Cucamonga Fault, located approximately 5 miles north of the city. All of these faults are capable of producing earthquakes of magnitude 6.7 or greater. A significant earthquake along one of the major faults could cause substantial casualties, extensive damage, and other threats to life and property. The shaking of the ground can also damage or destroy underground utilities or pipelines, potentially leading to a loss of power, conceivable fires should any natural gas pipelines be damaged, and possible release of hazardous materials and flooding if water lines are breached. These regional fault zones are displayed in Figure 3-1 from the City’s recently updated General Plan.
SUBSIDENCE
Subsidence occurs when the ground level decreases as if the surface is sinking.
Subsidence can either be sudden (as in a sinkhole) or happen gradually over time. It can be caused by mining, groundwater pumping, or fossil fuel extraction, creating empty underground spaces that can collapse and cause the soil above to drop in elevation.
Erosion, natural cave collapses, and seismic activity can also cause subsidence. 434
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
43 LOCATION AND EXTENT
SEISMIC SHAKING
The intensity of seismic shaking occurs in relation to the amount of energy discharged by the seismic event, which is dictated by the length and depth of the fault. The longer and nearer the surface the fault rupture is, the greater the seismic shaking. In most cases, areas nearest to the fault rupture experience the greatest seismic shaking, while areas more distant experience less shaking. Seismic shaking can damage or destroy structures leading to partial or even total collapse. The shaking of the ground can also damage or destroy underground utilities or pipelines, potentially leading to releases of hazardous materials and flooding if water lines are breached.
Southern California is a highly seismic area because of the major faults that run through the region and the frequency of seismic events in the region. The intensity of seismic shaking is usually measured with the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale based on the amount of observed damage. Seismic shaking may also be measured using the more widely known moment magnitude scale (MMS, denoted as Mw or sometimes M), which measures the amount of energy the earthquake releases. The MMS begins at 1.0 and increases as more energy is released. This scale is based on a logarithmic scale, meaning that the difference in energy between two measurements is substantially greater than the difference between the measurements themselves. For example, a Mw 6.5 Figure 3-1: Regional Faults and Fault Zones
435
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
44 earthquake releases approximately 1.4 times as much energy as a Mw 6.4 earthquake and 1,000 times as much energy as a Mw 4.5 earthquake. The MMS replaces the Richter scale, which is similar but less reliable when measuring large earthquakes. Since the degree of shaking and consequential damage generally decreases as the seismic energy travels farther away from the event’s point of origin, different sections of a city or region can report different MMI measurements in different locations. Given Ontario’s size, it is likely that different sections of the city would report different MMI measurements. The MMI scale depicted in Table 3-2 uses Roman numerals on a 12-point scale to measure and describe the effects of the shaking event. Figure 3-3 shows seismic shaking potential within the city.
Table 3-3: Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale15

46 SUBSIDENCE
The City identified that due to the significant amount of groundwater pumping that occurs within the City, subsidence in parts of the community are a concern. The portions of the City where active groundwater pumping is occurring are the most likely locations for subsidence. Other sections of the city could also be potentially subject to subsidence in the event of a major earthquake (Mw 5.0 or greater). In terms of extent, subsidence is typically measured by the distance that the ground has sunk from its original elevation (i.e., in feet or inches) or by using the rate of subsidence (i.e., inches or centimeters per year). According to the California Geological Survey (and United States Geological Survey), in California, large areas of land subsidence were first documented in the first half of the 20th century. Most of this was the result of excessive groundwater pumping, some of which has decreased by water conveyance projects from around the state that have allowed some groundwater aquifers to recover. However, subsidence continues at varying rates (some rates as high as <1 foot/year). 16 Figure 3-3 shows areas of subsidence within the city.
PAST EVENTS
SEISMIC SHAKING
While no significant earthquake has originated within Ontario within the last 100 years, the city has felt the shaking of regional earthquakes. The most recent major seismic shaking event near Ontario was the Ridgecrest Sequence of Earthquakes on July 4, 2019.
The event was a sequence of multiple earthquakes registered as an Mw 6.4 followed by an Mw 7.1. 17 The event caused over 25 injuries, resulted in one death, and caused over $5 billion in damage. 18 The next most recent event occurred on January 17, 1994, in Northridge, registering as an Mw 6.7 19 causing 57 deaths, more than 8,700 injuries, and approximately $20 billion in damage costs, plus an additional economic loss of $40+ billion.
On June 6, 1992, there were multiple large events in Big Bear and Landers, California, with a rating of Mw 6.5 and Mw 7.3, respectively. These events resulted in 3 deaths, nearly 500 injuries, and approximately $1.52 billion in damages. 20 16 US Geological Survey.

48 Many major faults are located throughout Southern California, including some wellknown ones like the San Andreas and San Jacinto Fault Zones. Proximity to a variety of active faults ensures that seismic hazards will continue to be a major concern for the city.
Table 3-4 identifies the major earthquakes that have occurred within 100 miles of the City.
While populations may have felt the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes (EM-3415) within the city, these events were located over 100 miles away and thus were not added to Table 3-4. Table 3-5 identifies earthquakes, Mw 4.0+, which have occurred in San Bernardino County. The LHMP Planning Team noted the following regional and local events for seismic activity in the City of Ontario.

49 SUBSIDENCE
Monitoring for subsidence by the City occurs on a regular basis. Based on City measurements, historic groundwater extraction in the region has contributed to subsidence rates of 0.8 to 2.5 feet.
RISK OF FUTURE EVENTS
SEISMIC SHAKING
Ontario is in a seismically active area with many faults in the surrounding area and regionat-large. There will be an ever-present danger, of course, posed by any seismic shaking, which could potentially cause damage to buildings and/or infrastructure. It is almost inevitable that an earthquake will occur along one of the adjacent or regional fault lines and cause a major seismic event. The Third Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF3) was released in 2015 and is the most recent assessment of the probability of a major earthquake on various faults between 2015 to 2044. Table 3-6 shows the results for nearby and regional fault lines for Ontario.
In addition to UCERF3 forecasts, which project the odds of a major earthquake on local and regional faults, the U.S. Geological Survey forecasts the severity of seismic shaking in different locations for various plausible earthquake scenarios. Table 3-7 shows the anticipated shaking in Ontario from some of these scenarios.
The U.S. Geological Survey scenarios show that the Newport-Inglewood and San Joaquin Hills faults could cause the strongest seismic shaking in Ontario. However, the largest magnitude events are anticipated to come from the more distant San Jacinto and San Andreas faults, which could cause earthquakes that have an overall higher magnitude than the San Jose, Cucamonga, or Fontana faults. Due to the former faults’ distance from Ontario, the shaking intensity felt in Ontario would be reduced compared to the shaking that would be felt nearer the earthquakes’ epicenters. The overall magnitude of potential earthquake scenarios occurring along the San Jose, Cucamonga, or Fontana faults is lower than some of the more regional faults, but their proximity to Ontario means that the city would be subjected to high intensity shaking from these earthquakes. In other words, these lower-magnitude earthquake scenarios may be more destructive in Ontario than higher-magnitude earthquake scenarios that are more distant. As noted in Table 3-6, however, the likelihood of a powerful earthquake occurring along these faults within the next 25 years is exceptionally low.

City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
51 SUBSIDENCE
Since Ontario has not experienced acute subsidence events, and the City is monitoring groundwater elevations and overproduction of their groundwater aquifer, it seems unlikely that subsidence will become a significant issue in the future. The most likely cause of a future event would be linked to an extreme drought in the future that leads to intensified groundwater withdrawals from the groundwater aquifer. In addition, the city’s proximity to seismically active faults suggest the potential for a significant earthquake exists, which could lead to seismically induced subsidence in the future.
CLIMATE CHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
SEISMIC SHAKING
There is no direct link between climate change and seismic activity that could impact Ontario, so climate change is not expected to cause any changes to the frequency or intensity of seismic shaking. Some research indicates that climate change could result in “isostatic rebounds,” or a sudden upward movement of the crust because of reduced downward weight caused by glaciers 21. As glaciers are known to melt when overall global temperatures increase, climate change could indirectly lead to an increase in seismicity in Ontario and the Southern California region.
SUBSIDENCE
The relationship between climate change and subsidence is not well established.
Nevertheless, it is possible that climate change could indirectly influence subsidence in Ontario. While more intense rainstorms could potentially recharge underground aquifers, adequate infrastructure would need to be available to accommodate this water, allowing for greater recharge. If this recharge could occur, it could reduce the risk of subsidence. On the other hand, more severe and prolonged periods of drought may encourage more groundwater withdrawals and increase the risk of subsidence.
Flood
DESCRIPTION
Floods are a common hazard in many parts of California, including Ontario. Ultimately, a flood occurs when there is too much water on the ground to be held within local water bodies, causing water to accumulate in naturally dry areas. They are often caused by heavy rainfall, though floods can also occur after a long period of moderate rainfall or if unusually warm weather causes mountain snow to melt faster than expected. Floods that develop quickly, known as flash floods, are especially dangerous because there may be little warning that one is occurring, but floods can also build over a more extended period.
A flood, as defined by FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), is: "A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally 21 Ibid., 47.
443
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
52 dry land area or of two or more properties (at least one of which is the policyholder’s property) from:
Overflow of inland or tidal waters, or
Unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source, or
Mudflow, or
Collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or similar body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels."
Floods can be slow or fast rising but generally develop over a period of hours or days.
Mitigation includes any activities that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of an emergency happening, or lessen the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies.
Investing in mitigation measures now, such as: engaging in floodplain management activities, constructing barriers such as levees, and purchasing flood insurance will help reduce the amount of structural damage and financial loss from other types of property damage should a flood or flash flood occur.
Floods are dangerous for several reasons. The floodwaters can be deep enough for people to drown and moving fast enough to sweep people away. The moving water can damage buildings with its force (in extreme cases, it may move entire structures) or carry large debris that damages objects with which it collides. When water gets into buildings, it can cause extensive damage to personal property, ruining building materials, furniture, electronics, and numerous other items. Both standing and moving water can be barriers to movement, isolating people and hindering evacuation, rescue, or relief efforts.
LOCATION AND EXTENT
Flood events are measured by their likelihood of occurrence. For instance, a 100-year flood is a flood that has a 1 in 100 (1.0 percent) chance of occurring in any given year. A 500-year flood is a flood that has a 1 in 500 (0.2 percent) chance of occurring in any given year. The 100-year flood has been designated as the benchmark for major flood events. Thus 100-year floods are referred to as “base floods.” Floodplains are areas that are prone to flooding and often experience frequent flooding.
While it is possible for areas outside of these designated floodplains to experience flooding, the most likely locations to experience future flooding are low-lying areas near bodies of water. FEMA is the governmental body responsible for designating which areas of the United States can be classified as floodplains.
The three most common designations are:
Special Flood Hazard Area: The area within a 100-year floodplain. Moderate Flood Hazard Area: The area outside the 100-year floodplain but within the 500-year floodplain.
444
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
53 Minimum Flood Hazard Area: The area outside of the 500-year floodplain.
FEMA has multiple floodplain categories for each unique environment within these three designations. Table 3-8 shows these detailed floodplain categories. FEMA classifies Ontario under four floodplain categories: A, AO, X, and AH; the location of these floodplains can be seen on the FEMA Flood Hazard Zone Map depicted in Figure 3-4.
Flooding hazards can potentially impact a significant amount of the community; however, less than 10% of this area is subject to a 100-year event.
Development within flood hazard areas is expected to comply with flood protection standards that reduce vulnerability to flood impacts and ensure safe use and occupation of structures.

RISK OF FUTURE EVENTS
There is no indication that the severe rainfall that leads to flooding will abate in the future, either in Ontario or the greater region of Southern California. While Ontario may experience prolonged periods of dry or wet years, flood events will likely continue to 448
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
57 impact the city. For areas within the 100-year and 500-year flood hazard zones, the likelihood of flooding to occur annually is 1% and 0.2%, respectively.
Because the City is vulnerable to flooding during the winter storm season, it is an active participant in the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Through this program, “Special Flood Hazard Areas” within the city are identified and mapped on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), identifying the areas that require flood insurance. FIRMs generally describe flooding in terms of a 100- or 500-year flood event, which translates into the probability (1.0% or 0.2%, respectively) that flooding could occur within the designated zone in any given year. In addition to the federal requirements within the NFIP, the City has adopted flood protection standards requiring minimum building elevation, flood-proofing, and anchoring of buildings in areas prone to flooding. Figure 3-4 identifies the FEMA Flood Hazard Zones mapped within the City.
Since its incorporation, Ontario has worked with San Bernardino County on flood management and mitigation projects. The City also takes steps on an annual basis to maintain and prepare for flood events, ensuring the existing infrastructure can effectively convey floodwaters. Flood events within the City can occur either due to large storms and flash flooding that overwhelms infrastructure or the failure of flood control facilities that inundate downstream communities.
The city has a levee system composed of six levees. Table 3-11 identifies these levees and their features.

58 CLIMATE CHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
Climate change is expected to affect California's precipitation patterns, which are likely to influence future flood events. A 2017 study found that the number of very intense precipitation days in California is projected to more than double by the end of the century, increasing 117 percent, making it likely that flood events will become more frequent 22. More flood events could increase the frequency of maintenance and repair activities and require operational changes to City function. Much of the City's infrastructure may require modification and retrofit to better accommodate changes anticipated from climate change. As a result, significant investment in future infrastructure may be necessary.
Extreme Weather (Severe Winds, Extreme Heat, Severe Rainstorms)
DESCRIPTION
SEVERE WINDS
Wind is simply the movement of air caused by differences in atmospheric pressure and temperature. High-pressure air will naturally move to areas of low pressure. Usually, the distance between these high- and low-pressure zones is far; however, these low- and high-pressure zones occasionally may be near one another. When this happens, air will flow dramatically, creating high-speed winds. The most common wind events in southern California are the “Santa Ana” winds. Figure 3-5 depicts the typical conditions that occur in the fall and winter to create these events. When winds are fast enough, they can damage homes, public facilities, utilities, and other infrastructure. They can also uproot or topple mature trees, pick up debris, and send it careening through the air. This debris can injure or even kill bystanders who may find themselves stranded outside. High-speed winds can deposit this debris in the middle of rights-of-way, such as roads, freeways, and railways, blocking exit routes for would-be evacuees or impeding access to first responders trying to reach wounded people.

59 EXTREME HEAT
Extreme heat is a period when temperatures are abnormally high relative to the normal temperature range. There are generally three types of extreme heat events:
• Extreme Heat Days: a day during which the maximum temperature surpasses 98 percent of all historic high temperatures for the area, using the time between April and October from 1950 to 2005 as the baseline.
• Warm Nights: a day between April and October when the minimum temperature exceeds 98 percent of all historic minimum daytime temperatures observed between 1950 and 2005.
• Extreme Heat Waves: a successive series of extreme heat days and warm nights where extreme temperatures do not abate; while no universally accepted minimum length of time for a heatwave event exists, Cal-Adapt considers four successive extreme heat days and warm nights to be the minimum threshold for an extreme heatwave.
SEVERE RAINSTORMS
During severe weather events such as strong storms, rain can fall at such a high rate that it cannot drain away fast enough. The resulting heavy rain can cause flooding, leading to inundation and potential damage to buildings, road networks, public areas, utilities, • Source: https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/what-are-santa-anawinds-2/343027 Figure 3-5: Santa Ana Winds

60 and other critical pieces of infrastructure. In California, heavy rainfall events are often short, intense bursts of rain, but in some cases, heavy rain can persist for multiple days
LOCATION AND EXTENT
SEVERE WIND
In Southern California, the most common type of severe wind event is called the Santa Ana winds. High pressure over Nevada and Utah, often during the fall and winter months, forces air down from the high desert toward the ocean. As the winds descend, they heat up and increase in speed, sometimes carrying particulate matter and aggravating the respiratory health of those who have allergies. Ontario is often affected by Santa Ana winds blowing through the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountain ranges via the Cajon Pass. Santa Ana winds are a contributing factor to the threat and spread of wildfires in California. Santa Ana winds can damage the electrical distribution infrastructure, creating wildfire ignitions due to arcing or downed power lines. Santa Ana winds can also result in rapid fire spread from ordinarily contained or small fires such as vehicle fires or fires caused by discarded smoking materials. Depending on the severity of the wind event, any part of the city can be affected by severe winds.
Generally, winds are measured using the Beaufort scale, developed in 1805, which categorizes wind events on a force scale from 0 to 12 using their speed and impacts. Any wind classified as force nine or above is generally considered a severe wind event. Table 3-12 identifies the Beaufort scale, which classifies wind events in detail.

61 EXTREME HEAT
Extreme heat events will feel different from region to region since different areas have different historic high temperatures. For example, an extreme heat day on the coast will feel different than an extreme heat day in the High Desert. The reason for this is how humidity affects the perceived heat that people feel. Humid conditions will make a day feel hotter than non-humid conditions, even though the temperature may be the same.
The difference between the perceived and actual temperatures is known as the “heat index.” To illustrate the effect of the heat index, a 90-degree day with 50 percent humidity feels like 95°F, whereas a 90°F Day with 90 percent humidity feels like 122°F. Figure 3-6 illustrates the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Weather Service Heat Index.
Extreme heat events are not limited to any part of the city. They occur with the same intensity and duration at the same time across all locations in Ontario. For Ontario, an extreme heat day involves a temperature that exceeds 103.2°F, and a warm night involves a temperature that exceeds 68.6°F. 23 These thresholds are based on a 2% probability event.

62 SEVERE RAINSTORM
The location and size of a rain event vary depending on regional geography and regional and global weather events. For example, small precipitation events may occur in only one section of Ontario. In contrast, a large rain event could inundate a majority of San Bernardino County and other parts of southern California.
California’s precipitation varies from year to year, depending on how much moisture the state receives from atmospheric rivers. Atmospheric rivers are corridors along which wet air travels from the tropics to continents. When the moisture arrives in California, it may precipitate as rain or snow. One of California's most known atmospheric rivers is the “Pineapple Express,” which brings moist air from the ocean surrounding Hawaii to California. An immense amount of moisture may be transported along the atmospheric rivers that cross over California during certain years, leading to severe rains.5F95F 95F 95F 24 Another weather phenomenon influencing rainfall in southern California is “El Niño,” officially referred to as the “Southern Oscillation” or “El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).” ENSO can cause increased rainfall, particularly during the winter months, caused by warming of the surface of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, leading to the evaporation of warm, moist air into the atmosphere. Winds bring this moisture to the eastern Pacific and the American continents, where it falls as rain. ENSO does not always lead to increased rainfall by default, but in general, it can increase the chances of winter with higher-than-usual precipitation. 25, 26
Rain events are usually measured by the amount of precipitation that falls. 27 Table 3-13 categorizes rain events by the amount of precipitation per hour.

Rain Type Description
Heavy Rain More than 4 mm per hour but less than 8 mm per hour Very Heavy Rain Greater than 8 mm per hour

63 PAST EVENTS
SEVERE WIND
Severe wind incidents are a common occurrence in the city. Annually the city is subjected to Santa Ana Wind conditions that can cause significant damage to trees, buildings, and vehicles. While the effects of Santa Ana Winds are often overlooked, it should be noted that in 2003, two deaths in Southern California were directly related to the fierce condition. A falling tree struck one woman in San Diego. The second death occurred when a passenger in a vehicle was hit by a pickup truck cover launched by the Santa Ana Winds.
The following are significant events that have affected the city and region in the past:
• January 11, 1989 - Gusts between 80-100 mph hammered the inland empire, and winds shredded a blimp that was moored at Ontario International Airport. • December 24, 1994 - Santa Ana wind gusts reached speeds of 74 mph in Ontario. • October 26, 1993 - Gusts of over 62 mph were reported in the city and exacerbated fires in the Southern California region.
• December 9, 1998 - Strong 83 mph Santa Ana winds tipped over big rigs, snapped power lines, and shut down the Ontario International Airport because the dust was so bad.
• December 25-26, 2000 - Santa Ana winds caused damage and injuries in Ontario, where gusts of over 60 mph were reported.
• December 28, 2006 - A strong Santa Ana wind event knocked down trees and power lines throughout the region.
• October 14 and 15, 2008 - A prolonged Santa Ana Wind event knocked down trees and blew a truck over in Ontario.
• January 06 07, 2003 - Widespread regional Santa Ana winds in the region resulted in 2 dead, 11 injured, and widespread property damage, road closures, downed trees, crop damage, wildfires, and power outages. Gusts reached 90 mph in the city.
• November 29, 2006 - Winds were sustained at almost 60 mph in the city, resulting in property damage and power outages due to downed power lines and trees. • November 01, 2011 - A Santa Ana Wind event caused downed trees; trucks were blown off the freeway in Ontario.
• December 01, 2011 - A Santa Ana Wind event caused wind speeds of more than 65 mph, knocking down hundreds of trees, downing power lines, and overturning trucks throughout the San Bernardino Valley and Ontario. • January 07- 08, 2012 - A storm that hit the region caused wind gusts over 60 mph in the city, knocking down power lines and blowing containers off semi-trucks. • November 2014 - A Santa Ana wind event caused winds of approximately 50 mph, with damage reported throughout the region.
• January 2017 - A series of three storms caused strong winds that knocked down hundreds of trees throughout the region, causing millions of dollars in damage. • October 9, 2017 - A strong Santa Ana wind event caused wind gusts of 70 mph. • October 26, 2020 - Santa Ana winds reached speeds of 80 mph, causing trees to topple and rip out of the ground along Euclid Ave in the city. The winds blew down powerlines and were severe enough to cause the shutdown of all runways and 455
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
64 taxiways at Ontario International Airport, forcing arrival flights to be diverted or delayed while departing flights were delayed or canceled. • November 25, 2021 - Santa Ana winds caused trees in the city to topple and uproot.
• January 21, 2022 - A Santa Ana wind event causes a massive tree to topple and crush a 100-year-old duplex apartment building, causing minor injuries.
EXTREME HEAT
Based on Cal Adapt’s historical information (1950 through 2005), the city experiences four extreme heat days per year. During this same period, the city experienced a 4-day heatwave, approximately every four years. Over the past 16 years (2005-2021), the city has experienced an extreme heat event (103° F or higher) every year except 2005. During this period, the temperature reached an average of 108.4° F. The four highest temperatures occurred in 2006 (114°F), 2017 (114°F), 2018 (117°F), and 2020 (118F). 28 In 2022, California experienced one of the worst heatwaves it has ever experienced. From September 1st through September 9th, 2022, temperature records for September were shattered across the western portion of the United States, including Ontario, where temperatures reached 108° F.
SEVERE RAINSTORMS
Ontario and San Bernardino County have experienced heavy rain events that have inundated many communities. Some significant historical events include (it should be noted that past events of major flooding in the region are generally directly tied to severe rainstorms):
• January 14 – 21, 1916 - Severe rainstorms in Southern California, over 8.5” in San Bernardino County, which led to regional flooding, including massive flooding along Euclid Avenue in Ontario. The city was one of several that were cut off and isolated by floodwaters, as roads, railroads, and bridges were washed out. • February 6, 1950 - Heavy rainfall led to the inundation of Chino Creek and the subsequent flooding of Hwy 71 from Ontario to Corona.
• January 13-18, 1952 - Heavy rain hits Southern California in a few waves of storms.
Approximately 5.52” fell in San Bernardino over the six days. Flooding was reported in Ontario as a result.
• July 23 -28, 1956 - Strong monsoon flow hit the region with thunderstorms each day, even west of the mountains. On 7/25, flash flooding struck the City of Ontario and San Bernardino County.
• January 21-22, 1962 - The heaviest winter storm in 13 years struck San Bernardino County, with 2.93 inches in Ontario, resulting in the flooding of streets and neighborhoods in the City.
• February 7 -26, 1962 - A very wet period for Southern California resulted in 20” + in the wettest mountain locations. Twenty were killed, and fifteen were injured in 28 NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdoweb/datasets/GSOY/stations/GHCND:USW00003102/detail 456
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
65 flooding and mudslides. Property damage, trees down, boats damaged. On 2/19, severe flooding was reported in Ontario and San Bernardino County. • March 6 -8, 1968 - Heavy rains led to local flooding, damaging homes, buildings, and schools in Ontario and surrounding cities. There was one drowning death, and debris flows closed several regional highways.
• February 8 -10, 1978 - Heavy rains in the region, including almost 5” of water in Ontario, led to widespread flooding, flash floods, and mudslides, and numerous homes were washed away.
• April 26, 1994 - A strong thunderstorm produced large hail up to 0.75 inches in diameter in Ontario. One to two inches of accumulating hail forced the closure of a section of I-215.
• May 7, 2016 - Heavy rains over Southern California led to flooding in Ontario. Cars were partially submerged near the Ontario International Airport; intersections were closed at Grove Ave/Francis St and Walnut St/Cucamonga Ave, and a roof collapsed at a container business due to the severity of the weather. • December 14, 2021 - Pounding rain and winds led to the collapse of a tree, which toppled and crushed two apartment building units, trapping a woman inside.
Over 3” of rain also led to flooding in some parts of the city. • December 27, 2022 through January 14, 2023 – Numerous back-to-back storms impacted various parts of California over the course of several weeks. While Ontario wasn’t impacted significantly, parts of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties received significant amounts of rain, causing flooding and evacuations.
This event was part of DR 4699.
RISK OF FUTURE EVENTS
SEVERE WIND
Given Ontario’s history of severe wind events, it is very likely that wind events will continue to impact the city. The most probable source of these events in the future will likely originate from the Santa Ana winds or extreme storms. All expectations are that the probability they will occur again in the future is highly likely.
EXTREME HEAT
As temperatures rise throughout California, the number of extreme heat days will also increase. According to Cal-Adapt data, which relies on NOAA data sources, Ontario experiences extreme heat days. The city historically (1950-2005) experienced, on average, four extreme heat days annually based on this historic period. That number of days increased to 9 days annually from 2006-2021. According to the 2022 Vulnerability Assessment, the city is projected to experience an annual average of 41 extreme heat days by 2100. 29
SEVERE RAINSTORMS
There is no indication that rainfall or severe rain hazards will abate either in Ontario or the greater region of Southern California in the future. While Ontario may experience 29 2022 Vulnerability Assessment Report for the Ontario Plan 2050 Update 457
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
66 prolonged periods of dry or wet years, all expectations are that the probability they will occur again in the future is highly likely and anticipated to increase in the future.
CLIMATE CHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
SEVERE WIND/ SEVERE RAINSTORMS
It is anticipated that the atmospheric rivers that deliver storms to Southern California may intensify because of climate change. While the average number of storms in Southern California will remain the same, storms are expected to increase in intensity by 10 to 20 percent. 30 This increase in storm intensity may also bring more intense winds to the Southern California region, including Ontario.
Regarding Santa Ana winds, however, studies indicate that these events may be affected in varying ways. According to one study that examined two global climate models, there is a projected increase in future Santa Ana events. However, other studies have found that the number of Santa Ana events may decrease by about 20% in the future. 31 Given the anticipated increases in temperatures throughout the region, future events are anticipated to become more severe in some cases, even if the total number of events decreases.
Regarding severe storms, climate change is expected to alter rainfall patterns in Southern California, including Ontario. As the climate warms, rain events are predicted to become more intense. Ontario will likely experience more rain inundation events that lead to flooding and increase the potential threat of dam failure, tree mortality, and other potential hazards.
EXTREME HEAT
The primary effect of climate change is warmer average temperatures. The hottest years on record have occurred since 2000, with 2016 and 2020 being tied. 32 As climate change accelerates in the 21st century, it is anticipated that extreme heat events will become more frequent and intense in the city. With the projection that extreme heat days could increase between 22 and 35 days annually by 2100, the city can expect a shift in residential and business needs for cooling and addressing heat-related issues.
Hazardous Materials Release
DESCRIPTION
Hazardous materials release refers to a hazard event whereby harmful concentrations of hazardous or toxic substances are released into the environment. This occurs when storage containers of hazardous materials leak or fail. It can happen due to industrial 30 Atmospheric Rivers to Soak California as Climate Warms. https://www.livescience.com/49225-atmospheric-riversdouble-climate-change.html 31 Hall, Alex, Neil Berg, Katharine Reich.

City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
67 accidents, vehicle crashes, as a direct result of other disasters (e.g., a flood or earthquake), or as a deliberate act.
The threat that hazardous materials pose to human health depends on the type of material, frequency, and duration of exposure, and whether chemicals are inhaled, penetrate the skin, or are ingested, among other factors. Exposure to hazardous materials can result in short- or long-term effects, including major damage to organs and systems in the body or death. Hazardous waste is any material with properties that make it dangerous or potentially harmful to human health or the environment. Hazardous materials can also cause health risks if they contaminate soil, groundwater, and air, potentially posing a threat long after the initial release.
As part of this analysis, the City also identified the potential environmental justice issues associated with hazardous materials. The mapping prepared in this analysis uses the CalEnviroScreen data set from the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal EPA). 33 This dataset helps identify California communities most affected by many pollution sources and where people are often especially vulnerable to pollution’s effects.
The dataset uses environmental, health, and socioeconomic information to produce scores for every census tract in the state that is mapped using a scale based on the location's pollution burden. The higher the percentage, the greater the burden and the higher likelihood of environmental justice concerns.
LOCATION AND EXTENT
Hazardous materials and chemicals are used daily in households and businesses throughout Ontario. In addition to the locations of large industrial uses, sources of hazardous materials can originate from seemingly harmless places such as service stations, dry cleaners, medical centers, and almost any industrial business. Hazardous waste can take the form of liquids, solids, contained gases, or sludge, and can be the by-products of manufacturing processes or simply discarded commercial products, like cleaning fluids and pesticides. Figure 3-7 identifies the locations of the hazardous material facilities within the City registered in the Environmental Protection Agency’s Facility Registry Service (FRS). The FRS is a centrally managed database that identifies facilities, sites, or places subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest. These facilities include anything from grocery stores to gas stations. These locations have been overlayed on the CalEnviroScreen dataset that identifies California communities by census tracts disproportionately burdened by and vulnerable to multiple pollution sources. Figure 3-8, taken from the 2050 Ontario Plan Safety Element, displays the current hazardous material cleanup sites with open cases in Ontario, including sites with an active or unresolved status.

City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
68 In severe situations, Ontario may also be at risk of hazardous materials release events regionally. With the right prevailing wind conditions, airborne toxic material could spread to and impact various parts of the air basin, including Ontario areas.
PAST EVENTS
Ontario has experienced an average of
66.82 hazardous materials spills annually
(2010-2021), reported to the Cal OES Spill
Release Reporting database. Most of these
incidents involve sewage and petroleum
products. Table 3-14 identifies the yearly
releases reported to Cal OES during this
period.
RISK OF FUTURE EVENTS
Most of the release events within Ontario
have occurred due to human error,
malfunctioning equipment, or deliberate
acts. Given this, it is anticipated that future
events within the City will include minor
incidents like the past occurrences
identified. Based on the historical average
data provided by Cal OES in Table 3-14, the
City can expect approximately 5.6 reported
spills per month.

73 CLIMATE CHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
Climate-related natural hazard events, such as an intense flood, could cause hazardous materials releases. These releases could occur due to traffic accidents associated with inclement weather, flooded roadway conditions, or leakage from storage containers due to intense weather events. Climate-related hazards could also exacerbate the effects and impacts of such events. For example, heavier rains could lead to more runoff from contaminated sites. Extreme heat could affect the storage of hazardous materials and is also a concern for the combustibility of these materials. These issues should be monitored during the 5-year implementation period of this plan.
Urban Fire
DESCRIPTION
An urban fire is a fire that causes damage to buildings or infrastructure in an urbanized area. In some minor situations, the fire prompts the evacuation of the building’s occupants, and the fire is contained within a short amount of time by firefighting teams or the building’s fire suppression systems. In severe cases, the fire destroys the building and can spread to other surrounding properties. Common causes of urban fires include stoves that are accidentally left on, short-circuited electrical equipment, improper storage of combustible materials, or mishandling household tools. Breaches in gas pipelines, large transportation accidents, or downed electrical transmission wires may cause larger urban fires. Fires can also be intentionally started by arsonists.
LOCATION AND EXTENT
Most of Ontario’s buildings consist of wooden-frame construction, which is susceptible to catching fire. Even structures that do not have wooden frames, such as large medical facilities or office towers, are at risk of urban fires. These locations contain furniture, papers, plant material, textiles, and other objects that can be ignited. Given that significant portions of the City are developed, urban fires can occur almost anywhere where structures and vegetation can burn.
Fires are also likely to occur where there are major pieces of infrastructure, such as gas pipelines, power lines, or highways. SoCalGas operates large high-pressure gas pipelines within the city. The northernmost pipeline roughly parallels 4th Street, while the other pipeline enters the northeast corner of the city boundary and crosses under the I-10, I-15, and SR-60 as it exits the city to the southwest, finally crossing under Euclid Ave. If this pipeline were to breach and the released gas ignites, any structures located along the extent of the breach would likely catch fire.
SoCal Edison also owns and operates above-ground, high-voltage transmission lines strung from poles within rights-of-way through the city. While there are no structures directly beneath these utility poles in most cases, there are still adjacent structures, trees/ vegetation, vehicles, and areas that contain items that could ignite if a downed power line encountered them. If any of these locations sparked a fire, it could spread to surrounding homes and buildings or produce cinders that could be transported to other locations igniting new fires. Fires could also occur along major transportation routes like 465
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
74 many of the large roadways within the City or the I-10, I-15, and SR-60 that run through the city carrying thousands of vehicles daily. While most fires occurring on these transportation routes could be destructive, it is not likely that these types of incidents would impact neighboring properties or spread great distances away from the point of origin. However, in areas of the City where vegetation is located along the edge of transportation routes, the possibility for fire spread increases.
For a fire to occur, the following three elements are required: heat, fuel, and oxygen. If any one of these elements is removed, the fire will extinguish itself. In Ontario, there is abundant fuel given the thousands of structures and flammable objects contained in each of them, and oxygen is nearly always present in most situations. Activity that creates intense heat that is unmonitored or unregulated may lead to the ignition of a fire. The National Institute of Fire and Technology has developed a scale that measures the temperature increase and the kind of fire response that develops. Table 3-15 shows the progression of temperature relative to fire response.
Once a fire has been ignited, it could conceivably grow to an indefinite size if abundant fuel and oxygen are available. For example, a fire that ignites in one house could hypothetically continue to expand and even spread to other adjacent houses if there was enough fuel to link the structures together. Fires in confined spaces may occasionally burn so intensely that they consume all the oxygen available to them and burn out before expanding.

75 PAST EVENTS
The following are some of the major urban fires that have occurred in the past in Ontario:
• 2007 Walker Fire – 166 acres of mainly dairy pasture is burned in the city. • October 2016, JC Horizon Recycling Center Fire – Major blaze burned for three days at the JC Horizon recycling facility when the large store of paper and cardboard caught fire, billowing black smoke into the sky. • April 2019, JC Horizon Recycling Center Fire #2 – Another major blaze burned for two days at the JC Horizon facility, the cause of this second fire was undetermined.
This facility sits near train tracks, and rail traffic was diverted around. • August 2019, Commercial Fire – a large fire ripped through a commercial building in Ontario, prompting firefighters
to respond and contain the
blaze.
• March 16, 2021, Fireworks
Explosion – a cache of illegal
fireworks stored at a house in
Ontario exploded, resulting in two
deaths, $3.2 million in damages to
40 homes, and causing fires in the
affected and surrounding
structures.
• January 2022, Warehouse Fire – Large tire warehouse catches a blaze in Ontario; most of the building was considered a total loss, as well as the majority of contents inside.
• August 2022, Commercial Fire – a fire began outside of a large commercial building, quickly spreading to the interior of the building, where workers managed to escape without injury after they heard explosions. Wooden pallets and raw plastic materials fueled the fire.
RISK OF FUTURE EVENTS
If the conditions for an urban fire exist in Ontario, the city will forever be at risk of experiencing an urban fire event. Given how each fire event has unique origins, it is impossible to predict the precise location or likelihood of an urban fire emerging in the city. Some areas, however, are at an increased risk of an urban fire igniting, such as areas where structures are poorly maintained, locations where vegetation is overgrown, properties storing materials improperly, and/or structures located in close proximity to infrastructure and assets that may be at risk of ignition.
CLIMATE CHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
While climate change has been linked to a potential increase in wildfire events, it is unclear exactly how climate change could influence the ignition or behavior of urban fires in Ontario. Extreme heat events could be linked to increase ignition either due to hotter conditions within the City that lead to drier vegetation or use of infrastructure that could become overloaded and fail (causing sparks). If these conditions occur, urban fire risk could increase over time.

76 Dam Failure/Inundation
DESCRIPTION
Dam and levee failure can result from several causes, such as earthquakes, rapidly rising floodwaters, and structural design flaws. These hazards can occur instantaneously or very gradually, depending on the source of the failure. Inundation associated with these events can potentially cause loss of life, damage property, and other ensuing hazards, as well as the displacement of persons residing in the inundation path.
According to the California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD), a dam falls under their jurisdiction if its height is greater than 6 feet and impounds more than 50 acre-feet of water or its height is greater than 25 feet and impounds 15 acre-feet of water. Based on these criteria, 1,537 dams fall under DSOD jurisdiction, 39 of which are located within San Bernardino County.
LOCATION AND EXTENT
There are dams that
provide flood protection
and water storage north
of the City. Failure of
these dams would
potentially inundate
parts of the City as
depicted Figure 3-9.
Exhibit A depicts the
location of these dams in
relation to the city. These
dams include:
Jurupa Basin, which is a
29-foot-high earthen
dam built in 2001 by the
County of San
Bernardino Department
of Public Works. With a
7,000-foot crest length,
this dam impounds up to
1,680-acre feet of water
and is considered to
have an extremely high
downstream hazard classification.
Hickory Basin, which is a 19-foot-high earthen dam built in 2001 by the County of San Bernardino Department of Public Works. With a 4,600-foot crest length, this dam impounds up to 220-acre feet of water, a significant downstream hazard, built in 2001.
Exhibit A: Location of Dams in Relation to Ontario
468
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
77 San Antonio Dam - is an embankment flood control and debris dam located along San Antonio Creek in San Bernardino County, approximately 6.5 miles northwest of Ontario.
Dam construction was completed in 1956 and is owned and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), which continues to monitor and improve the structure. The dam is 3,850 feet long, 160 feet above the foundation, and 130 feet above the riverbed.
The main embankment contains 6,050,000 cubic yards of material. The reservoir behind the dam is usually dry but can fill with up to 11,880 acre-feet of water after large flooding events. Dams owned and maintained by the USACE use the Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) rating system, displayed in Table 3-17. San Antonio Dam is classified as a High Urgency of Action dam by the USACE.
Table 3-16 identifies the significance of these downstream classifications.
Table 3-16: California Department of Water Resources Division of Safety of Dams – Downstream Hazard Classifications
Downstream Hazard
Potential Classifications
Potential Downstream Impacts to Life and Property
Low No probable loss of human life and low economic and environmental losses. Losses are expected to be principally limited to the owner’s property.
Significant No probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, impacts to critical facilities, or other significant impacts.
High Expected to cause loss of at least one human life.
Extremely High Expected to cause considerable loss of human life or would result in an inundation area with a population of 1,000 or more. 469

78 PAST EVENTS
Despite some significant flooding events in the late 1800s and early 1900s, including one in 1862 that wiped out the tiny Santa Ana River hamlet of Agua Mansa near present-day Colton, regional flood management and mitigation wasn’t given a great deal of consideration in San Bernardino County until the Great Flood of March 1938. That deluge claimed 14 lives, left hundreds homeless, and caused an estimated $12 million ($220 million in 2020 dollars) in property damage.
In 1939, the State Legislature passed the San Bernardino County Flood District Act, which empowered the County to begin developing regional flood protection facilities to protect life and property. Today, San Bernardino County Flood Control operates and maintains 14 dams, 119 basins, 82 levees, and more than 250 miles of flood control channels. The dams, levees, and channels are designed to convey runoff around homes and businesses in the valley safely. 34

City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
79 RISK OF FUTURE EVENTS
With the adoption of SB 92 in 2017, new dam safety requirements mandate that dam owners map the downstream inundation areas for dams governed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). In addition to the mapping, owners must prepare Dam Emergency Action Plans that identify the emergency management plans and procedures in place for these facilities. Figure 3-9 identifies the inundation areas mapped for dams upstream from the City. For inundation to occur, as depicted in this map, it is assumed the reservoirs behind these dams are full, and failure occurs suddenly, releasing water in a relatively short amount of time. Failures typically occur from an earthquake, erosion, design flaw, or water overflow condition during intense storms.
CLIMATE CHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
Overall, engineers say that most dams that were built decades ago in the United States are unsuited to a warmer world and stronger storms. 35 Some recent dam episodes have been shown to have a climate change link. In February 2017, at Oroville Dam in California, the tallest in the nation, heavy mountain runoff into the reservoir led to an emergency spillway near failure and severe damage to the main spillway. Nearly 200,000 people were evacuated as a precaution, and repairs cost more than $1 billion. A later study found that an increase in early-season Sierra Nevada runoff contributed to the dam’s high-water levels. This early season runoff can be attributed to human-caused warming. 36
In addition to short-duration extreme precipitation, rainfall of longer duration but less intensity—an overall wetter climate, which climate models forecast for parts of the United States in the coming decades—can contribute to the risk. 37 Overall, the main consideration will be the weather patterns and how rainfall will affect the city and the county, as many of the catch basins and dams in the region connect multiple cities and counties.

81 Human-Caused Hazards
(Terrorism, Transportation Incident, Communications Failure)
DESCRIPTION
TERRORISM
Terrorism is the use or threat of force to achieve a particular social or political outcome.
The goals of terrorism may sometimes be overturning a government, the reversal of a public policy, political prisoners' release, and other such motives. Acts of terror may overlap with acts of war or hate crimes. Generally, terrorism involves an attempt to kill or seriously harm people or disrupt civil society by destroying property or infrastructure, attacking government operations at all levels, interrupting essential public services, creating chaos, or a combination of some or all these goals. Firearms and explosives are the most common weapons used among terrorists. In extreme situations, terrorists may gain access to mass destruction weapons, including bioweapons, chemical agents, radioactive materials, or high-yield explosives. It should be noted that these events are infrequent. While incidents of terror caused by foreign individuals or groups receive significant media and public attention, most acts of terror in the United States have been caused by domestic terrorists.
A mass casualty incident describes an incident within the United States where emergency medical service resources, such as personnel and equipment, are overwhelmed by the number and severity of casualties. The more commonly recognized events of this type include building collapses, train and bus collisions, plane crashes, earthquakes, and other large-scale emergencies. The most common types are generally caused by terrorism, mass transportation accidents, or natural disasters. Events such as the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, the September 11 attacks in 2001, and the 2017 Las Vegas Shooting are well-publicized examples of mass casualty incidents.
TRANSPORTATION INCIDENT
A transportation incident is a crash or other failure involving a vehicle, including a car, truck, or train. This can result from the vehicle operator making an error or environmental conditions preventing the vehicle from being safely maneuvered. Examples of transportation accidents include automobile crashes, freight truck collisions, and train crashes or derailments. It should be noted that small-scale incidents, such as minor collisions between automobiles, would not count as a hazard. Large-scale collisions involving multiple vehicles that shut down a freeway interchange or key underpass could present a hazard to Ontario as it could hinder first responders from reaching victims or prevent residents from evacuating quickly.
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
The complete or partial failure of a component or components in a communications network because of malfunction (system, equipment, or infrastructure failure/degradation), natural hazards, or human-caused hazards.
Modern communications systems, such as fiber optic broadband, keep communities connected. In times of crisis, it is even more important for communities to have efficient 473
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
82 and effective abilities to communicate information and resilient communications systems in the wake of natural and human-caused hazards or disasters. • Before a disaster (such as forecastable extreme weather events), these systems can broadcast warning information about what is happening and allow residents and businesses to act and potentially mitigate the effects of the hazard. • During an emergency or disaster, these systems allow essential communications services to keep critical local and government services such as first responder dispatch, evacuation instructions, and situational update reports, and allow health care services to keep running effectively.
• After a disaster, communications systems can provide a way for people to connect to important resources or declare their safety through emergency calls, text messages, or even social media updates.
LOCATION AND EXTENT
TERRORISM
Mass Casualty Incidents can occur anywhere, although public spaces and locations where many people congregate (parks, schools, places of worship, government facilities, shopping centers, and public gathering areas) are most common. Critical locations in Ontario may be the Ontario International Airport, large shopping centers (i.e., Ontario Mills), governmental facilities (i.e., City Hall), Toyota Arena, universities and colleges, schools, medical facilities (i.e., Kindred Hospital), parks (i.e., CucamongaGuasti Regional Park), and large employers within the city.
Acts of terrorism may be located at the locations listed above; however, the perpetrators may also choose high-value targets such as electric-generating facilities, water treatment plants, dams or reservoirs, railroads, highways, and other facilities that could impact governmental operations and services. Mass Casualty Incidents and acts of terrorism are typically measured by the fatalities, injuries, and destruction they cause, but there is no universally used scale for measuring these events.
TRANSPORTATION INCIDENT
Major arterial streets like Euclid Ave (US-83), Mission Blvd, Milliken Ave, Haven Ave, Grove Ave, Archibald Ave, and 4th St accommodate a large amount of traffic circulation through the city. These roadways, in addition to the major interstates/ state routes (SR-60, I-10, I-15), accommodate the local and regional transportation needs throughout Ontario and San Bernardino County. The system of railroad infrastructure, which includes both passenger and commercial transportation, are also potential sites for accidents and hazardous materials release. The presence of the Ontario International Airport, which serves as a passenger destination and doubles as the West Coast air hub for delivery services (i.e., UPS, FedEx, and Amazon Air), only increases the potential for transportation incidents. Any one of these major transportation corridors and locations could be the site of transportation accidents that could affect the community and the surrounding areas.
Generally, the scale used to measure transportation accidents is the amount of damage to the vehicle, buildings, or infrastructure and the level of injury and/or death caused to people.
474
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
83 COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
Communication systems connect the entire city, and because of this, no portion of the city is more or less vulnerable to a communications system failure. The exception is any portion of the city where communications system infrastructure isn’t as prevalent or established. Any failure of communications systems could affect the entire city, however depending on the type of failure impacts could be isolated to certain systems or locations. Natural hazards such as earthquakes, flooding, and wildfires can jeopardize communications systems by compromising their infrastructure and power supplies.
Human-caused hazards such as terrorism, hazardous material releases, or cyber-attack could have the same effect on systems infrastructure. Considering such impacts in hazard mitigation planning and projects can bolster a community’s communications systems before the next disaster hits.
PAST EVENTS
TERRORISM
The city has been fortunate not to have experienced any acts of terrorism directly.
However, the following acts of terrorism/mass casualty incident events have occurred within San Bernardino County, California, and the Country:
• 1970 - Bombing of the Stanford Research Institute facility, which caused approximately $500,000 in property damage. No injuries or deaths occurred during this incident. 38
• 1970 - Bombing of a Bank of America Branch, which caused approximately $500,000 in property damage. No injuries or deaths occurred during this incident. 39 • April 1995 - Timothy McVeigh detonated a bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK. The blast was so powerful that the Federal Building was destroyed, and more than 300 nearby buildings were damaged or destroyed. The bombing killed 168 people, including 19 children. Timothy McVeigh’s motive for bombing the Federal Building was to inspire a revolution against the federal government. 40
• September 11, 2001 -Terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners. The hijackers flew two planes into the twin towers at the World Trade Center in New York City and one into the Pentagon in Arlington, VA. The fourth plane crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania. The attacks on 9/11 killed 2,976 people and injured thousands more. 41
• April 15, 2013 - Two bombs detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
The explosion killed 3 spectators and wounded more than 264 other people. Police captured 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in connection with the bombing; the second suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died following a shootout with law 38 Global Terrorism Database. 2020. “1970-10-18”.

84 enforcement. Investigators concluded that the Tsarnaev brothers planned and carried out the attack independently and were not connected to any specific terrorist group. 42
• 2014 - A teenager who had reportedly threatened terrorist action against the U.S.
Open of Surfing event attendees was arrested. 43
• May 2015 - Two Anaheim-based men were arrested at a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at the Los Angeles International Airport who had reportedly sworn allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). One of these men, Muhanad Badawi, was a student at Fullerton College. 44 • December 2015 - A mass shooting and terrorist attack committed by a married couple who had reportedly sworn allegiance to ISIS killed 14 people at a medical facility in the city of San Bernardino. 45
• October 2017 - Stephen Paddock opened fire on the Route 91 Harvest Festival concert from an elevated position at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. The attack resulted in 58 people killed and 851 injured. Paddock shot and killed himself before responding officers reached him. The FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit determined no clear motivation for the attack. Although this attack did not occur in California, many California residents were affected by the event as more than half the 58 people killed were from California. Off-duty Ontario Police Officer Michael Gracia, who was critically injured after being shot in the head; thankfully he survived and has since returned to duty. 46
• May 2022 – Payton S. Gendron opened fire with an illegally modified semiautomatic rifle at the Tops grocery store in Buffalo, New York. Ten people were killed and three were wounded in the attack. Gendron plead guilty to terrorism and murder charges in the attack and was sentenced to life without the chance of parole. According to a document written by Gendron, the shooting was racially motivated, and he chose the location because it was in a particular area of the city that had the highest percentage of African Americans. 47
TRANSPORTATION INCIDENT
The city experiences vehicle transportation incidents daily; however, the severity and resulting injuries and fatalities vary. According to statistics gathered by City-Data.com, there is an average of 14 fatal motor vehicle accidents per year in the city. The following are examples of some transportation incidents in the city:
• December 1993 – A man was struck and killed by a Metrolink train while walking on the tracks near the Ontario International Airport.

• June 2020 – A semi-truck collided with a vehicle forcing it into the rear end of another semi-truck, fatally injuring a man, woman, and minor passenger. • September 2021 - One person was killed when a semi-truck collided with the rear of another semi-truck on the SR-60 freeway.
• October 2022 – A woman was killed after a collision between her vehicle and a semi-truck on SR-60.
• August 2021 – A pilot was taken to the hospital with minor injuries after making an emergency landing in an empty field near Ontario Ranch.
Transportation incidents can also include the release of hazardous materials depending upon the materials being transported through and within the City.
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
No incidents of past communications failure have occurred within the City. While this may be the case today, there is always a risk that future failures may occur, which could significantly impact City functions and operations.
RISK OF FUTURE EVENTS
TERRORISM
Given that mass casualty incidents and acts of terrorism stem from a variety of factors:
economics, societal pressures, mental health, global geopolitics, warfare, religion, etc.— it is impossible to predict when and where an incident could occur. Ontario International Airport is a significant facility with state and national importance. While important, it is anticipated that any future incidents would likely originate domestically and are less likely to attract the attention of international terrorist groups. Incidents of these types are more likely to be conducted by smaller organizations or individuals aligned with greater-known organizations, although the effects may be no less significant. Given the presence of this facility as well as a convention center, sports arena, large shopping center, numerous schools, and large employers within the city, the potential does exist for mass-casualty incidents/acts of terrorism.
TRANSPORTATION INCIDENTS
It is a certainty that transportation accidents will continue. While it is possible to guard against such events and implement safety measures, it is impossible to prevent all future events. Due to the presence of Ontario International Airport, as well as the large volume of traffic on streets, highways, and railroad tracks in and around the City, the likelihood of future incidents is high. All of these incidents can occur with the potential to cause delays or detours to traffic in and around the city, cause damage to critical roadways/infrastructure, and, more importantly, injure or kill people. 477
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
86 COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
The potential for a communications failure will exist as long as the City relies on systems for these communication purposes. The risk of failure is anticipated to increase during emergency events. Infrastructure failure due to either natural or human-caused hazards will not diminish as infrastructure ages and the City’s population increases. As technology advances, so too have the dependence upon modern communications systems, making this hazard a more prevalent concern for the City.
CLIMATE CHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
TERRORISM
The link between mass casualty incidents/terrorism and climate change is not well understood. It has been suggested, however, that the impacts of a changing climate may exacerbate existing social, political, religious, and ethnic tensions. For example, longer, more intense droughts may restrict food supply or place limits on economic growth for cities, regions, or even whole countries. Nevertheless, the likelihood of climate change impacting mass casualty incidents/acts of terrorism in Ontario is negligible since these changes are more likely to impact developments on the national or international level.
TRANSPORTATION INCIDENTS
Climate change is not likely to impact transportation accidents in the future within Ontario.
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE
Climate change is not anticipated to directly impact communications failure. However, as previously mentioned, as technology advances and our dependence upon it grows, climate change could degrade unhardened infrastructure, potentially causing system failures to occur.
478
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
87 Chapter 4 – Threat and Vulnerability
The threat assessment process looks at the potential harm of each hazard event discussed in Chapter 3.
Threat Assessment Process
The threat assessment process analyzes the harm Ontario may experience from a hazard event but does not consider its likelihood, thus giving equal consideration to hazards that are more likely (e.g., earthquakes, flood) and less probable hazards (e.g., dam failure).
The threat assessment examines three aspects of each hazard: the physical threat to facilities, the social threat to vulnerable populations, and the threat to any other assets that may be affected.
Critical Facilities and Facilities of Concern
Critical facilities (CF) consist of properties and structures that play important roles in government operations and the services they provide to the community. Examples of CFs include local government offices and yards, community centers, public safety buildings like police and fire stations, schools, and other properties a city has deemed essential for its operations. Critical Facilities may also serve dual roles if a city designates them as public assembly points during an emergency. Critical Facilities are often owned by the City, but some may also be owned and operated privately, such as some utilities and telecommunication infrastructure. Facilities of concern (FOC) are similar to critical facilities, however they may not be owned by the City or their purpose and function is not as important to the function of the City after a disaster. These facilities are identified to ensure the City understands their potential vulnerability to the hazards of concern.
The HMPC identified a total of 195 facilities [118 CFs and 77 FOC] in Ontario that fall into 7 categories based on their function or characteristics. Table 4-1 shows the number of CFs and FOC in each category, the total estimated replacement value for these facilities, and examples of the type of facility in each category. Appendix D has a complete list of the CFs and FOC used in this analysis. Figure 4-1 shows the locations of CFs and FOC in Ontario that were mapped, however due to security concerns, some facilities were not mapped as part of this process.
The potential loss values identified in subsequent tables are based on the City’s total insured value using the City’s Insured Asset Inventory. It is intended to provide an estimate of the replacement cost if the property/ structure is completely or severely damaged.
The actual costs of repair could be smaller or larger than the provided estimate. Since the data comes from the City’s Insured Asset Inventory, any facilities not owned by the City will not have a replacement value listed. Where this occurs, “N/A” has been used within the table.
479
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
88 Based on the available data provided by the City, there is a minimum of $723,662,462 worth of City-owned assets that were analyzed. The total potential loss value of all Cityowned and non-City-owned assets is much higher but is unknown due to data limitations.
The greatest potential for loss among City-owned assets comes from the Water and Wastewater Infrastructure inventory, which includes but is not limited to, reservoirs, pump stations, pump houses, and holding tanks located throughout the city. The next critical facility category with the greatest potential for loss would be Emergency Operations, which includes Police and Fire Department facilities and equipment, while Government Operations is the third highest potential loss among critical facilities.
The city owns and operates both Toyota Arena and the Ontario Convention Center; while not considered critical facilities to city function, they are major facilities of concern for the city, and combined, they represent a significant portion of insured assets. Both facilities could be used in emergency situations, such as evacuation centers, relief/aid stations, first responder staging points, or other facilities to assist with City operations.
Another major facility of concern would be the Ontario International Airport which the City owns partially with San Bernardino County as part of the Ontario International Airport Authority.
To better understand the magnitude of impacts, this plan identifies representative percentages of potential impact based on the total valuation of City assets. For planning purposes, we identified different tiers of impact that could occur. It is reasonable to assume that impacts would not exceed 50% of the total asset value city-wide during a single event. The following are parameters to help understand how much a proposed investment/improvement compares to the existing assets within the City:
• 1% Impact - $7,236,624
• 5% Impact – $36,183,123
• 10% Impact – $72,366,246
• 20% Impact - $144,732,492
• 50% Impact - $361,831,231
The possibility that all facilities will be completely damaged simultaneously is extremely rare. Based on the hazard, most impacts are anticipated to be isolated to certain locations. This estimate does not include the value of underground infrastructure and surface drainage facilities owned and operated by the City. 480

91 Vulnerable Populations
Factors such as age, physical and/or mental condition, socioeconomic status, access to key services, and many other factors affect the ability of people to prepare for and protect themselves and their property from a hazard event. Even though some hazard events may impact all parts of Ontario with equal severity, different people may experience the impacts differently. Higher-income households, for instance, are likely more able to afford the cost of retrofitting their homes to resist flooding or, alternatively, move to a location that is less prone to flooding than a lower-income household. As a result, the higher-income household is less likely to experience significant damage during a flood event than the lower-income household, even if the same amount of rain falls on both.
A social threat analysis examines how hazard events are likely to impact different demographic populations in Ontario and where these different demographic populations live in the city. This includes assessing whether the people in an area of an elevated hazard risk are more likely than the average person to be considered a threatened population. The social threat analysis uses the following criteria to assess the threat to vulnerable populations:
• Disability status: Persons with disabilities may often have reduced mobility and experience difficulties living independently. As a result, they may have little or no ability to prepare for and mitigate hazard conditions without assistance from others.
• Income levels: Lower-income households are less likely to have the financial resources to implement mitigation activities on their residences. They may also struggle with having the necessary time to find and access educational resources discussing hazard mitigation strategies. Furthermore, lower-income households are less likely to be able to move to safer areas that are less at risk of being impacted by a hazard. The national poverty limit standard for the U.S. for a four-person family is approximately an income of $26,500 or less. For San Bernardino County, the FY 2021 Low-Income Limit for a four-person family, according to the 2050 Ontario Plan Housing Element (HUD), is $63,200.
• Seniors (individuals at least 65 years of age): Seniors are more likely to have reduced mobility, physical and/or mental disabilities, and lower-income levels, all of which may decrease their ability to prepare for and mitigate a hazard event.
Table 4-2 shows the amounts of people in Ontario who meet at least one of the criteria for threatened, vulnerable populations. For more detailed demographic information, please refer to Chapter 2.
483
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
92 The social threat analysis also shows the threat other populations may encounter. For example, people experiencing homelessness or people without access to lifelines (vehicles or communication networks) may experience greater hardship in evacuating or recovering from a disaster. Since data for these groups are not readily available, there is no definitive way to determine the amount of these persons in areas of elevated risk, so this assessment will discuss how these other threatened groups may be affected on a general level.

Due to data limitations, the data comparing the hazard zone population with the citywide population comes from two separate sources. The citywide data comes from the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, and the hazard zone population data comes from ESRI’s Business Analyst reports. As a result, there may be minor discrepancies in comparing the two data sets. The data that should be considered correct for this plan is the ACS data reported in Chapter 2.
Other Assets
In addition to the City’s designated inventory of CFs/FOC and vulnerable populations, hazard events could threaten other important assets to Ontario. These assets may include services, artistic or cultural landmarks, or local economic activities. The threat assessment describes the potential harm to these other assets based on available information.
Threat Profiles
Seismic Hazards/Geologic Hazards
PHYSICAL THREAT
SEISMIC SHAKING
Many physical assets in the city are estimated to experience the same seismic shaking intensity, ranging from 85 to 95% g (shaking intensity in relation to the earth’s gravity).
Therefore, all facilities could be damaged during a significant seismic event, which would 484
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
93 be extremely costly for the City. If all facilities were damaged at the same time during a seismic shaking event, it can be assumed that the City would incur a percentage of the maximum potential loss of its physical assets. Assuming 20% of the City’s assets are impacted, this potential loss could amount to over $144 million. Underground physical assets, like pipelines or utilities, could be damaged if seismic shaking were strong enough to cause a rupture. In such a scenario, natural gas and water delivery service to Ontario homes and businesses would be incapacitated until repairs are completed. Table 4-3 displays these potential scenarios and losses that could incur should shaking reach the described threshold. Figure 4-2 displays the CFs and FOCs within the city’s seismic shaking potential hazard zones.

95 SUBSIDENCE
Subsidence can influence both the built and natural environment. Because water lines are gravity-driven, a change in elevation due to subsidence could make the system more inefficient. Structures built in areas experience subsidence may require retrofitting or relocation. Subsidence could also irreversibly decrease an aquifer’s capacity to store water. Table 4-4 shows 76 CF, and 70 FOC could be affected by land subsidence in the city, resulting in a loss of almost $394 million. Figure 4-3 displays the CFs and FOC within the city’s land subsidence hazard zones.

SOCIAL THREAT
The risk of a seismic event is a danger to all groups in Ontario though some are more threatened than others.
SEISMIC SHAKING
Seniors, pregnant women, and persons with disabilities are more threatened by seismic shaking since they may have limited mobility and may be unable to reach shelter in time.
Even if these groups reach shelter in time, they may find themselves trapped if furniture or building components have fallen around them. Renters and low-income people are also more threatened by seismic shaking since these groups may live in homes that are not properly retrofitted to survive the stresses of a seismic event. These groups may not be able to absorb the costs associated with repairing their homes or looking for new housing should their existing one be too damaged for occupancy. Table 4-5 displays the threatened populations in Ontario associated the seismic shaking scenarios. 487
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
96 Figure 4-3: Land Subsidence Physical Threat
488
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
97 SUBSIDENCE
While subsidence can cause significant issues with physical infrastructure, many of the social impacts can be related to where people live and work. Subsidence can impact the safety of homes and businesses. Buildings could gradually sink due to subsidence, causing minor issues such as cracks or misalignments of doors and windows or more costly problems such as sinkholes. These issues could impact residents living in older homes, which may not have been built with foundations reinforced with steel. Because insurance companies may not cover damages caused by subsidence or other geologic hazards, lower-income households may find it financially difficult to cope with subsidence. Table 4-6 displays the populations characteristics of those in Ontario threatened by land subsidence. Approximately 80% of the city’s residents live in an area with land subsidence and share similarities with the demographics of the entire City.
OTHER THREATS
SEISMIC SHAKING
As early earthquake warning systems become operational soon, it can be expected that utilities will take advantage of these advance warnings to shut off gas, water, and power Table 4-5: Seismic Shaking Threatened Populations

98 transmission to control any potential leaks following the seismic shaking. Authorities may have enough time to halt the use of infrastructure or move workers to safe locations away from hazardous conditions. Workers could cease their activity and take shelter until they can be safely evacuated. Therefore, all services could be non-operational during the shaking event and remain inactive until authorities are confident that it is safe to reactivate utilities and return employees to their workplaces. The length of this time would vary depending on the magnitude of the event. A significant earthquake would likely put utilities out of commission and halt any employment activity in the city for a few hours or several days. The city and the region would experience reduced economic activity during the outage period, which would not be felt for weeks, months, or years later.
Structures such as telephone poles or power transmission towers felled by the shaking could block roadways and prevent emergency response teams from reaching victims or evacuees who need assistance.
SUBSIDENCE
If subsidence occurred in Ontario, causing impacts to homes and businesses, the City would need to identify the locations of impact and potential triggering event. While groundwater extraction is currently being managed to prevent further subsidence, other events like earthquakes could exacerbate these conditions. Damage to roads, rail lines, and underground pipes (water, wastewater, and natural gas) is likely to be impacted during a subsidence event. As a result, the areas impacted by these effects could experience a loss of city services and potential congestion if roadways are impacted.
CHANGES IN POPULATION PATTERNS AND LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT
SEISMIC SHAKING
Based on the recent update to TOP 2050 (General Plan), it is not anticipated that population patterns will change over the next 20 years. While this may also be true concerning land use and development, if a strong earthquake impacts the city, there is the potential that older structures in the northern part of the city may be impacted more severely than newer structures in the southern part of the city.
SUBSIDENCE
Although subsidence is being monitored throughout the city, its effects happen very slowly, and the impacts cause minor damage to structures that can be repaired.
Because of this, subsidence is unlikely to cause changes in population patterns as well as land use and development. The City’s development review process will identify steps to mitigate or prevent future subsidence.
Flood
PHYSICAL THREAT
Portions of the city are located within the 100-year flood zone (1.0% Annual Chance of Flooding) and the 500-year flood zone (0.2% Annual Chance of Flooding). Any physical assets within these mapped boundaries can potentially be inundated if enough precipitation falls, exceeding the storm drain infrastructure design capacity in these areas. Electronic or mechanical equipment on the ground could be impacted causing 490

99 it to fail. Table 4-7 identifies that no physical assets within the City are located in the 100- year flood zone. Table 4-8 identifies the physical assets within the City located in the 500- year flood zone, which includes 39 CF and 26 FOC. In total, these facilities are valued at over $187 million. Figure 4-4 depicts the locations of CFs and FOCs located in FEMAdesignated flood zones, which include the 100-Year Flood Hazard (blue), 500-Year Flood Hazard (orange), and Areas with Reduced Flood Risk Due to Levee (yellow).

SOCIAL THREAT
Floodwaters in both the 100-year zone and the 500-year zone are anticipated to rise to a depth of no more than one foot above the base flood elevation. Flooding of this type would likely inundate curb cuts and sidewalks to some extent. People who walk or bike as their primary form of transportation may encounter difficulties if they do not have access to an alternative means of transportation. Seniors, persons with disabilities, and low-income persons are also likely to be impacted during these events. Table 4-9 shows the proportion of Ontario’s vulnerable populations that face a greater threat from a flood event. Based on the information in Table 4-9, the median household income in both the 100-year and 500-year flood zones is lower than the citywide average. The threat of flood hazards is especially a concern for those living in the 500-year flood zone, as this affects approximately 39% of the city’s population.
Persons experiencing homelessness who are outside during flood conditions may experience property damage or be unable to access shelter. Though floodwaters in Ontario are not expected to exceed a depth of one foot in many areas, six inches of floodwater may render any makeshift structures uninhabitable during a flood event.
Possessions such as sleeping bags or electronic devices may be damaged or swept away by these floodwaters.
Additionally, the 2022 Vulnerability Assessment has identified the following populations as flood-threatened populations 48:
• Households with financial instability.
• Persons that spend an extended amount of time outdoors. • Persons with existing health conditions or limited mobility. • Persons with language barriers and citizenship uncertainty. • Persons living in mobile homes.
• Overcrowded households.
OTHER THREATS
Flooding may temporarily stop any type of transportation in the City. Debris from floodwaters can block roadways, hinder vehicle access, and potentially affect emergency response services. One foot of rushing water is enough to carry small vehicles, depending on the velocity. A severe flood situation may prevent people who own smaller vehicles from driving to work, leading to reduced economic activity. Severe flooding that causes serious damage to homes and businesses may also reduce economic activity until repair work is completed.

City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
102
CHANGES IN POPULATION PATTERNS AND LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT Flooding could affect population patterns within the city as the median household income in both the 100-year and 500-year flood zones is lower than the citywide average, and 64% of the households in the 100-year flood zone are renter occupied. If, after a flood, homeowners in these flood zones cannot afford to fix their homes, or landlords no longer wish to own a rental home in these areas, they will move out of the area. If homes in the low flood-risk areas within the city are more expensive, a person looking to move out of the flood zone may consider leaving the city altogether.
It is unlikely that flooding will affect land use and development patterns because the development review process ensures flood related impacts are mitigated or minimized.
Extreme Weather (Severe Winds, Extreme Heat, Severe Rainstorms)
PHYSICAL THREAT
SEVERE WINDS
Intense winds likely present the greatest threat to physical structures, particularly from trees or branches that fall on buildings/vehicles, causing substantial damage. Older structures that have deferred maintenance or have not been retrofitted for high wind conditions may suffer greater damage than newer/updated structures. Utility lines and wooden utility poles face an elevated threat from wind, as do buildings without reinforced roofs. Often utility poles and trees suffer impacts during high wind events if they occur after a significant rain event. During these events, saturated soils around the base of the tree/pole may be unable to hold up to the strains placed on it by strong winds causing it to fall over.
Trees, tree branches, and other objects have the potential to fall on powerlines and other electrical infrastructure during a severe windstorm, causing power outages throughout the city. Another physical threat of severe wind is wildfire impacts and electric utilities' current practice of conducting Public Safety Power Shutoff activities.

events, these shutoffs may impact structures that rely on electricity for normal operations.
See social threats for population impacts that may also occur because of these events.
EXTREME HEAT
Extremely high temperatures can cause roads to deform and buckle as the pavement expands in the heat, especially in areas that have not been maintained well. Power lines and other electrical grid components become less effective in higher temperatures and may be damaged due to stress during extreme heat events. Urban heat islands occur when natural land cover is replaced with concentrations of pavement, buildings, or other surfaces that absorb and retain heat. Buildings with dark pavement will absorb more heat than surfaces with vegetation or lighter materials that are better at reflecting the sun’s energy. This urban heat island effect is strongest during the summer when solar radiation is strongest.
SEVERE RAINSTORMS
Physical threats associated with severe rainstorms are similar in nature to those identified in the Flood discussion above.
SOCIAL THREAT
SEVERE WIND
Severe wind events can harm people throughout Ontario but have a greater effect on the safety of people experiencing homelessness and those working outdoors. Populations that work outside or have respiratory illnesses may be impacted by severe wind events as they can generate dust and other contaminants that can affect the health of residents and workers. Lower-income residents, who may not have the financial resources to purchase homes (or are renting homes) that are not built or retrofitted to withstand powerful winds, could also have difficulty recovering from wind events.
EXTREME HEAT
Whereas a heat event can be relatively harmless for those with a reliable means of staying hydrated and cool, the event can be deadly for others. Young children, the elderly, or people suffering from serious medical conditions are physiologically more vulnerable to heatstroke. Some senior citizens also take medicines that can make it harder for their bodies to maintain a safe internal temperature, creating an additional threat from extreme heat events. Young children may not be aware of the signs of dehydration or ways of protecting themselves from heatstroke.
People living in homelessness are at a high risk of health complications during heat waves, especially if they are unsheltered. According to San Bernardino County homeless counts, in 2022, there were approximately 3,333 individuals experiencing homelessness in the county, with 71.7% percent unsheltered. 49 Of the 3,333 individuals experiencing homelessness within the county, approximately 193 individuals are experiencing 49 San Bernardino County. 2022.

City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
104
homelessness within the city. This population is very vulnerable to heatstroke during a heatwave, especially if they cannot reach a cooling center.
Sudden spikes in heat can catch people by surprise. Stores can rapidly sell out of fans, air-conditioning units, or drinking water during a heatwave. Many lower-income households live in older, poorly insulated, and energy-inefficient housing and cannot afford to run their air conditioning, which can be further compounded by the threat of power outages due to heat/rolling blackouts. During these events, extreme heat impacts may affect larger portions of the city and populations that would not be viewed as vulnerable under normal circumstances.
SEVERE RAINSTORMS
Social threats associated with sever rainstorms is similar in nature to those identified in the Flood discussion above.
Additionally, the 2022 Vulnerability Assessment has identified the following populations as populations most vulnerable to severe weather 50:
• Households with financial instability.
• Persons that spend an extended amount of time outdoors. • Persons with existing health conditions or limited mobility. • Persons with language barriers and citizenship uncertainty. • Persons living in mobile homes.
• Overcrowded households.
OTHER THREATS
SEVERE WIND
Southern California and the City of Ontario all suffer from seasonal Santa Ana Winds and will for the foreseeable future. Extreme wind events can worsen other risks, such as wildfires. It could affect the take-off and landing of small aircraft at nearby airports, leading to an increased risk of possible aircraft incidents.
EXTREME HEAT
Extreme Heat for any length of time can also affect other hazards and risks within the city.
For example, it can create a spike in electricity demand leading to power loss/failure, food insecurities, and a rise in vector-borne disease transmission. Coupled with extreme wind, it can cause or spread urban fires and jeopardize additional neighborhoods/communities.
SEVERE RAINSTORMS
Other threats associated with severe rainstorms are similar in nature to those identified in the Flood discussion above.

CHANGES IN POPULATION PATTERNS AND LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT
SEVERE WIND
Severe winds occur periodically (primarily during the Fall months) and generally do not affect populations to the degree that they would need to migrate in and out of the city.
It is unlikely that severe wind will affect land use and development because the development review process will take steps to mitigate or minimize the impacts of severe wind. There is the potential that older structures in the northern part of the city may be impacted more severely than newer structures in the southern part of the city. The northern part of the city has overhead powerlines and mature trees, and older structures may not comply with current building codes.
EXTREME HEAT
Based on the recent update to TOP 2050 (General Plan), it is not anticipated that population patterns will change over the next 20 years. There could be minor changes in population patterns due to extreme heat if people cannot continue to live in older structures with limited insulation and older cooling units.
It is unlikely that extreme heat will affect land use and development because the development review process will take steps to mitigate or minimize impacts from extreme heat. While it is unlikely that extreme heat will affect land use and development, it is possible that additional investment in older parts of the city will occur to modify structures to handle these conditions.
SEVERE RAINSTORMS
Based on the recent update to TOP 2050 (General Plan), it is not anticipated that population patterns will change over the next 20 years.
It is unlikely that severe rainstorms will affect land use and development because the development review process will take steps to mitigate or minimize impacts from severe rainstorms. The City has invested significantly in its stormwater management infrastructure, which should protect much of the city from the effects of severe rainstorms.
Dam Failure
PHYSICAL THREAT
Various factors, such as the amount of water released, the distance between the dam failure site, and the topography of the surrounding land, will influence the extent to which physical assets in Ontario are threatened. The San Antonio Dam has large storage capacities that could cause widespread inundation in Ontario if the reservoir waters are released due to a dam breach. Table 4-10 identifies the physical assets in Ontario that are threatened by the potential failure of the San Antonio Dam. The Hickory and Jurupa Basins, while close in proximity to the City, do not impact residential populations. As a result, these two dams are not identified in Table 4-10. Based on this analysis, dam 497

inundation would affect 94 CFs and 54 FOCs within the city, with the potential to cause approximately $437 million in damages, based on available information.

SOCIAL THREAT
Dam failure hazards in the city would impact various downstream properties and the residents that live there. Table 4-11 identifies these potential dam failure impacts caused by the San Antonio Dam. Failure of the San Antonio Dam would affect almost 93% of the population and inundate 38% of the acreage in the City of Ontario. Failure of the other two dam facilities upstream from the City would impact limited areas of the City that do not contain residential uses. No population metrics for these two dam inundation zones were available based on the uses located in this part of the City. 498
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
107
Figure 4-5: Critical Facilities and Facilities of Concern in Dam Inundation Zones 499
City of Ontario 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
108
OTHER THREATS
Dam failures are often triggered by other events (e.g., seismic shaking, intense rainstorms, etc.). There would most likely be service disruptions in Ontario if this type of event occurred. Floodwaters could quickly inundate the city, disrupting utilities such as water, power, heating, and other services (communications or transportation infrastructure).
Residents may find street lighting and traffic signals are temporarily disabled. Debris may be carried in the rapid inundation of water, blocking roads and impeding traffic flow.
Water would most likely inundate roadways and other low-lying, flat areas, such as parking lots, open spaces, and schoolyards. In severe scenarios, people’s mobility in these areas would likely be restricted or even impossible. Any unprotected or unhoused mechanical or electronic equipment that is not properly elevated could be damaged or inoperable until crews can conduct repairs or replacements.
CHANGES IN POPULATION PATTERNS AND LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT Those in the inundation zone may choose to move out of the city or out of the inundation area if the impacts of dam failure are great enough. Those renting homes within the city (40% of households within the city) have little control over the rebuilding process of a home that has been affected by inundation and, therefore, may be forced to move out of the inundation area or out of the city.
Dam failure is unlikely to affect land use and development because the development review process will take steps to mitigate or minimize flood-related impacts. Areas inundated within the city would not be significantly altered, requiring changes in land use and development patterns.

Hazardous Materials Release
PHYSICAL THREAT
Hazardous materials can cause damage to physical assets in Ontario if they are released into the environment. Corrosive hazardous materials can damage the exteriors of buildings or structures. Flammable hazardous materials can be ignited and cause damage to nearby structures. Generally, sites closer to the origin of the release of the hazardous materials are more at risk than those further away.
