Project Management Kick-Off Meeting
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
Club next week and can get you contact information for the president of the rotary.
I feel like more nonprofit organizations may be added… do the organizations have to be specifically devoted to caring for people?
o Answer from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Generally, yes. This is to ensure we provide outreach to socially vulnerable populations during our planning process.
x Question from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: Okay. Save Our Beaches is about the environment, but not caring for people. We can provide contacts for the entire list easily and we will put thought into additional groups to add to the list.
o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Nongovernmental organizations are busy, and only 2/10 organizations are likely to show up. For our purposes, we just have to demonstrate the offer to participate.
x Comment from Leslea Meyerhoff [Coastal Administrator]: We could also include the Downtown Business Association…
o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: During our community outreach efforts, we can send groups not included as stakeholders a flyer so they can chat with us briefly at community events. o Response from Leslea Meyerhoff [Coastal Administrator]: Understood; making the distinction between groups that affect content and groups that provide feedback.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Mitigation action intersection is what is most important for these groups. Dana Point and Camp Pendleton would fulfill requirement to collaborate with neighboring jurisdictions. Rancho Mission Viejo, County of Orange, and State Parks would be good partners.
o Response from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: The Transportation Corridor Agency owns property in City and nearby areas; the Donna O’Neill Conservancy is also located on the northeastern side of the City.
x Comment from Leslea Meyerhoff [Coastal Administrator]: Lynn Mata is critical and so is our CERT team. 2 CERT presidents come to seek information. o Response from Rachel Perez [Public Works Administrative Assistant]:
National Night Out is a big event as well.
x Question from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: What about utilities or government liaisons?
o Response from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]:
Southern California Edison and SDG&E are City utility providers. There Project Management Kick-Off Meeting
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
may be a third… South Coast Water provides service for a small sliver of the City. We will go through the list and flesh out needed additions. o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Our team can send the list as an Excel file if it would be easier. o Response from Rachel Perez [Public Works Administrative Assistant]: Dave Rebensdorf mentioned a few facilities he wanted to add to the critical facilities list; mostly utility plants.
x Question from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: We could host two meetings with staff and two with external groups for action items? We like to see what actions are already in progress and which we can add as action items for this plan update.
o Answer from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: I had previously intended to include a City Council liaison to the planning process (Rick), but will remove him since he will not be needed to participate and I cannot appoint him to anything. A public safety committee does exist within the City, but will not be participating in the planning process. We could send the committee information on how they can provide input, but not directly contribute to the project.
o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: We will have a public survey and when we deliver the LHMP for public review, they can provide input.
Work Program and Schedule
x Question from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Our team is curious if the 2024/2025 CIP is finalized and approved? o Answer from Dave Rebensdorf [Public Works/Utilities Director]: It should be approved; we have a 2-year CIP program. We used to have a 5-year program, but we now list potential future projects. So yes, it should be posted publicly. If not, we can provide the budget.
x Question from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Did I miss any other major projects?
o Answer from Leslea Meyerhoff [Coastal Administrator]: The only project would be the Army Corps of Engineers 50-year Coastal Damage Reduction Project. It can be found under the LCP tab on the City website. o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: I have looked at the LCP, but we will likely rely upon the sea level rise study more heavily for this project.
o Comment from Dave Rebensdorf [Public Works/Utilities Director]: We also do leak detection related to landslide and earth movement, but it is not Project Management Kick-Off Meeting
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
within a formalized document.
o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: This can be listed as a capability within the LHMP.
x Question from Dave Rebensdorf [Public Works/Utilities Director]: We also do weed abatement; at City sites, we meet with OCFA for a walkthrough to identify what areas need trimming.
o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Codes related to weed abatement can also be listed as a capability. x Question from Leslea Meyerhoff [Coastal Administrator]: Our Certified Land Use Plan, as a part of the LCP, can also be listed. It contains some policies related to hazards.
o Answer from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: We can list this plan.
x Comment from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: The natural resources section of the General Plan may have information, along with a few other plans that may also be listed on our website. The emergency services tab has about a quarter of the total documents in the category. There may be other documents we can locate and send over.
x Question from Rachel Perez [Public Works Administrative Assistant]: Our EAP is out of date. Do we have to update it for this plan?
o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: No.
The current EAP will serve as our baseline. The Palisade Reservoir EAP may also be helpful.
o Response from Dave Rebensdorf [Public Works/Utilities Director]: Joint Regional Water Supply manages that, but we can get the plan for you. The Schlegel Reservoir is giant and should have an EAP as well. The Palisades Reservoir does have a dam, hence your concern.
x Comment from Michael Yaffe [Michael Baker, West Region Resilience Lead]:
Sensitive information is used to identify capabilities within the plan, but not listed in the public plan.
x Question from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: Can you send over a copy of the PowerPoint?
o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Yes, I will send it over to you.

City of San Clemente, California
Community Engagement Strategy
x Question from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Where would be the best location to put a booth for community outreach? We were thinking either in Downtown, at a community event, or even on the pier. o Answer from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: The City has a ton of events that it can be hosted at, and I have no opinion between City event or random location. I would like to train Meredith to do additional outreach in the same manner that can be sent back to the project team for feedback. One in-person event will not be sufficient to demonstrate a good enough public outreach effort.
o Response from Meredith Scott [Community Development Coordinator]: It is the perfect time of year to do that.
x Question from Leslea Meyerhoff [Coastal Administrator]: Will there be a press release to announce the kickoff of the planning effort? x Answer from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: The content prepared for this meeting may be used for a press release. x Question from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: Public information coordination will be through Maile Stivers. When is web content scheduled to be released?
o Answer from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: July 10, next week.
o Response from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]:
Communicate with Meredith and I and we will work with Maile. She can coordinate with you on a press release to draw the interest of City residents. o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: We can also send Word content in a working document for ease of editing. x Question from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: How does the branding look? We built off of the City style guide but are happy to adjust. o Answer from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: Looks professional, but we will run it past Andy. Besides the stucco with red roof, it looks great.
x Comment from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: For awareness, the City has initiated a contract with a group called CitySocial for social media assistance. Maile does social media, but we also have contacts in City as well. Let’s tie in CitySocial to push out good messaging and public opportunities to connect.
o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Sounds Project Management Kick-Off Meeting
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
good; anything that helps to get the word out.
x Question from Michael Yaffe [Michael Baker, West Region Resilience Lead]:
Should we coordinate this effort two weeks before?
o Answer from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: Yes, that works.
x Question from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: In terms of terminology related to climate change, we are required to address climate change itself but can use various terms to take the temperature down if needed. o Answer from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: Until November, we probably want to go with “changing weather patterns”. After November, there is a legitimate change we may want to go back to “climate change”. Are terms used consistently enough that it can be an easy find and replace? For now, and the future, it is best to use “changing weather patterns” or “severe weather”.
o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Yes, find and replace would be easy.
x Question from Leslea Meyerhoff [Coastal Administrator]: Can climate change be addressed under human-caused hazards?
o Answer from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Climate change is normally integrated under each hazard profile as one of the last paragraphs in the section. This paragraph typically describes how climate change exasperates the hazard. Instead of sea level rise, should we profile this hazard under “coastal erosion” instead? Sea level rise kind of gives a connotation that it is a future concern instead of a present concern. o Answer from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: That’s fine.
Critical Facilities List and Organization
Proposed Hazards for Consideration
x Question from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: For humancaused hazards, to what extent are we profiling them? We had a landslide about a year ago on a bluff where four homes were (at least) yellow-tagged. After the investigation, this was actually caused by a lack of maintenance to a retaining wall. o Answer from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Slope failure regardless of the cause would be applicable. Landslide, for example, can also theoretically be caused by an earthquake. It can be described as “this is happening, here are the factors contributing to the occurrence”. o Response from Dave Rebensdorf [Public Works/Utilities Director]: Improper Project Management Kick-Off Meeting

maintenance and drainage could contribute to new mitigation actions. x Question from Rachel Perez [Public Works Administrative Assistant]: Does the fact that a property/facility is public or private have any effect on FEMA grant funding applications?
o Answer from Michael Yaffe [Michael Baker, West Region Resilience Lead]:
If a critical facility is in need of critical repairs, it will qualify under FEMA requirements. Applications are easier if the property in question is public property; otherwise, multiple people will be needed for the application. x Question from Dave Rebensdorf [Public Works/Utilities Director]: Would 9/11 be an example of mitigation funding?
o Answer from Michael Yaffe [Michael Baker, West Region Resilience Lead]:
Any time there is a disaster declaration, a certain type of funding becomes available. In the context of a LHMP, we are talking about HMA assistance, which is a different type of funding.
o Comment from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: The hazardous material release in Ohio was an example of a situation where FEMA stated they would not be involved, but later changed their stance. It would be very surprising for a hazard mitigation grant to go towards a human-caused hazard.
o Comment from Michael Yaffe [Michael Baker, West Region Resilience Lead]: For human-caused hazards, backup servers and critical facility hardening would be example mitigation actions for a hazard such as terrorism.
x Question from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Do we have a good mix of hazards? We did not remove any hazards from the last plan, but added hazards and did some bolstering based on industry best practices. o Question from Leslea Meyerhoff [Coastal Administrator]: Where are the terrorism and cyber attack hazards lumped into one?
o Answer from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: We like to reduce redundancy by grouping the discussion together since these hazards can be related. We can separate if needed.
x Question from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: Looks good. If anything were to change, it would just be adding additional topics. What is the timeframe on the hazards?
o Answer from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: We currently have placeholders until the critical facility and stakeholder list are finalized. If our goal is just to add, we can theoretically add between our first planning meeting and the small group stakeholder meetings. The stakeholder meetings usually produce ideas.
Project Management Kick-Off Meeting
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
o Comment from Michael Yaffe [Michael Baker, West Region Resilience Lead]: We can also provide you with a hazard list from the State HMP but will want to narrow down the list based on community needs due to our shortened timeframe.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: We are actually scheduled out for a 5-month timeframe with a Thanksgiving holiday deadline as it stands now (November 22). If it feels too quick and engagement is being cut out, it would be best to target planning meetings for August, September, and/or October. If we extent to a 6-month timeframe, there will be additional time for comments and revisions on the deliverable.
o Comment from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: Cal OES has been extremely backlogged on plans. We are now looking at a 60- day review period for both Cal OES and FEMA. We will plan to submit on November 22, but factors surrounding the review period are outside of our control.
x Question from Dave Rebensdorf [Public Works/Utilities Director]: Do we need the City Council to take action?
o Answer from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: We will want Cal OES and FEMA to approve the plan prior to Council approval.
This state will be known as APA, or approval pending adoption. o Response from Dave Rebensdorf [Public Works/Utilities Director]: We were concerned about the backlog in an election year. We would rather wait until after November for any City Council action.
x Comment from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: The City Manager’s objective is to get this plan moved along ASAP. The general City consensus is that the City is exposed and unable to address things that we have to assume will continue to happen. As long as we do our part efficiently, Cal OES and FEMA can play out by their rules.
o Response from Noelle Anderson [Michael Baker, Project Manager]: We will be looking to produce a high-quality plan and outreach results; a 6-month timeframe is quick if we need a light pause. Room for adjustment is available.
x Comment from Adam Atamian [Community Development Director]: The most critical thing for public outreach is providing a sense that there are many opportunities. At the end of the day, it is likely that only fifty people will give a serious review over a five-minute chat. We can talk with council members one-onone during public review and include comments afterwards. Anything we can do to sell this plan as a community in need of funding is good.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
Stakeholder Meeting #1 – Agenda
Thursday, August 15, 2024
3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
via Microsoft Teams
1. Introduction and Roles/Responsibilities
x Primary contacts & communication
x Planning Process documentation
2. Project Background and Benefits
x Establish eligibility for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Funding o Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities
o Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
3. Project Goals, Objectives, and Expectations
x LHMP Goals Brainstorming Activity
4. Purpose and Requirements of the LHMP
x Recent FEMA Policy Update
5. Hazard Identification and Prioritization
x FEMA Hazards List
x San Clemente Recommended Hazards
x Hazard Prioritization Activity
o Probability
o Location
o Maximum Probable Extent
o Secondary Impacts
x Question from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator/Summit Environmental, City of San Clemente) – Why are landslide, slope failure, and mudflow not grouped with geologic hazards?
o Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, Michael Baker) – We felt it was such an important hazard and have separated it out, but we can categorize it under geological hazards if need be.
o Leslea Meyerhoff – I agree that landslide, slope failure, and mudflow profile are important and can be separated out. There will be some overlap there since they are geologic hazards.
x Question from Robert Ferguson (Building and Safety Division, City of San Clemente) – Looking at the hazard prioritization survey, why is landslide not 100% probability since it is a current issue?
o Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, Michael Baker) – This is a weighted average of everyone’s input, but we are seeing landslide as one of the more likely and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
Stakeholder Meeting #1 – Agenda
higher priority hazards because as you mentioned this is something the City is currently experiencing.
x Question from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator/Summit Environmental, City of San Clemente) – For socially vulnerable populations, did you say the source is the US Census?
o Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, Michael Baker) – It’s the CDC Social Vulnerability Index and I believe the CDC uses census data. Sometimes we do use CalEnviroScreen when there is a designated Disadvantaged Community (DAC), but we did not see that in the City this time around. o Leslea Meyerhoff – I was just curious about the data since we have use CalEnviroScreen before.
x Question from Laura Bard (Co-President of San Clemente Rotary) – On the topic of location size of the geographical area affected by hazard, when you say a typical facility, do you mean a typical home or some other building or infrastructure? o Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, Michael Baker) – You can think of a typical home in this case for considering primary impacts. Public and commercial buildings are usually built at a higher standard than residential assets. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, Michael Baker) – I see heavy rains coming up a lot in this prioritization activity along with flood, has that been a recurring issue?
o Laura Bard (Co-President of San Clemente Rotary) – After the last 2 winter seasons, I think flood has been on everyone’s mind a bit more.
6. Data Needs and Capabilities
x Question from Laura Bard (Co-President of San Clemente Rotary) – Do you have the high fire zone maps?
o Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, Michael Baker) – Yes, we do have those and we will include those maps in the vulnerability assessment. x Question from Rachel Perez (Public Works Administrative Assistant) – I’m working on our IPP (Interagency Preparedness Plan), when that is finished, would you like that as well?
o Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, Michael Baker) – Yes, if you can provide that, that would be great.
x Question from Zak Ponsen (Assistant City Engineer, City of San Clemente) – Do you have all the flood maps? We are currently working on updating floodplain maps. I can follow up with Rachel Perez and get you any relevant documents. o Noelle Anderson (Project Manage, Michael Baker) – That would be great, thank you.
Action Item: Zak Ponsen (Assistant City Engineer, City of San Clemente) to follow up with Rachel Perez (Public Works Administrative Assistant) to see if there are any outstanding documents the Michael Baker team will need for the LHMP.
7. Conclusion and Wrap-Up
x Question from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator/Summit Environmental, City of San Clemente) – Will people that did not participate today for whatever reason be able to rank and identify the hazards?
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
Stakeholder Meeting #1 – Agenda
o Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, Michael Baker) – Yes, we can set it up as an online survey to be taken later and leave it open for 2 weeks.
Action Item: MBI to provide link to hazard identification and prioritization survey. x Comment from Kyle Gough (Transmission Main Manager, South Coast Water District) – Please invite Blaise Bausch (Safety and Compliance Program Manager, South Coast Water District) for future meetings:
o Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, Michael Baker) – We will add him to our list of participating stakeholders and include him in all future meeting invites. x Comment from Dustin Burnside (Utilities Department, City of San Clemente) – Utilities Staff, including South Coast Water District and other Water District involvement will be hampered by Friday meetings as most work 4/10's.
x Question from Adam Atamian (Community Development Director, City of San Clemente) – Our next meeting is next Friday, was there anything before the coffee chats that we need to get going before next Friday?
o Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, Michael Baker) – I can send the meeting materials for the outreach event, but if you would like to suggest any revisions before we print, just let us know.
o Adam Atamian – We can take a look before we publish everything on the website, but I think all of that looked fine to print.
o Meredith Scott (Community Development Coordinator, City of San Clemente) – Let us know what you need from our end. We have tables, chairs, etc. for the coffee chats.
Next Steps/Action Items Summary
Action Item: MBI to send Stakeholder Meeting #1 Notes.
Action Item: MBI to send hazard identification and prioritization survey for additional stakeholders to rank hazards.
Action Item: City to send relevant plans, reports, and documents to Noelle by Oct. 4, 2024. x Zak Ponsen to coordinate with Rachel Perez on floodplain maps and other relevant LHMP documents.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
Internal Focus Group Meeting #1
3. Mitigation Action Discussion
x Question from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – Regarding the Table 1-1 STAPLE/E Review criteria – is it always in this order? Is the criteria weighted? o Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Yes, in that order and not weighted; the order is more for stage of information purposes. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI)– Are there any regulation codes that need to be updated?
o Answer from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator)– Sea level rise assessment was updated only a couple of years ago so may not need funding to update that. LCP is a work in progress and consists of a lot of policies. o Comment from Jonathan Lightfoot (Planning) – We currently have grant funding for LIDAR and surveying for bluffs and coastal canyons; maybe grant for long term modifications to areas, but probably need funding every 5 years to develop a historical tracking of bluffs and canyons.
o Comment – Shoreline monitoring funded through 2026, so may be need grant funding for… would we consider funding from coastal commission? o Answer from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator)– Yes, but not sure if coastal commission will continue funding and may rather have jurisdictional entity to fund it.
o Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – CCC may be challenging to acquire more funding due to mandates.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – In terms of infrastructure, and policies such as the sand tax (assuming the sand tax may not go through) are there any backup plans?
o Answer from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – We are staying optimistic that the tax will pass until after the election. o Follow up Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – If sand tax is approved, will the tax benefit a specific area or benefit entire beach? x Answer from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – The tax is targeted for shoreline protection, beach sand replenishment, marine safety infrastructure, beach trails which is located in some areas west or east of railroad tracks, and any public infrastructure on the beach. x Comment – The up station sewer pump line on the coast that will also benefit from the tax.
x Comment from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – The sea level rise data for vulnerability is already complete.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We can incorporate sea level rise data as a reference so we don’t duplicate work. There is a 10-year cycle for SLR and if FEMA sees the SLR, they may nitpick the methodology like the CCC. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – In terms of structure and infrastructure are there any areas with localized street flooding during heavy rains? o Answer from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – One street, Avenida Columbo, has significant flooding. This may be due to some type of drain or sewer being affected by land movement. There also may be a number of City facilities being affected …as an example, the sewer lift station in that hillside has been sliding for 10 years and one facility down in Cypress Shore/Cove is also experiencing the same problem.

Internal Focus Group Meeting #1
o Comment from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – All of pedestrian coastal access are at risk now and in the future; from inland water flooding, and some from seasonal coastal.
x Question from Jonathan Lightfoot (Planning) – Why don’t the critical facilities tables reference overpasses and bridges?
x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Standard procedures need to be included in the plan. Another thing to consider is putting in the Council bluff side protection ago that occurred a few months ago. Council considered violations related to construction and had to outreach info how bluff property owners can comply. x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – We are also trying to include ADA transition plan trying to catch up on – took over being ADA coordinators when Robert became building official about a year ago.
x Question from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – There are 3 plans: programs and services (not concerned), City facilities (definitely needs to be updated), and public right of way (which never got in the first place). Could this be something that could be tied in the HMP?
o Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We may be able to include it – if we narrate focusing on the hazards and prioritize ADA for disasters, we may be able to update ADA information.
x Comment from Robert Ferguson (Building) – If dog parks are a critical facility, the new list should be able to house everyone and how can we tell the story to reach out to populations with disabilities. x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We included the parks as a past critical facility because a park can be the only area left to stage and is flat and open to store equipment and direct evacuations.
This can be coordinated with OCFA and OCSD. We can also have education and notification in compliance with ADA.
x Comment – We can evacuate people who are impaired.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Both emergency and physical facility standpoint
o This could include $250,000 for plan programs and
services and establishing priorities for timeline.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – How is code enforcement going in regard to wildfire abatement and invasive species concerns? o Comment from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – Invasive species for wildfire risk management is an issue.
o Follow up from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We could include a campaign with removing invasive species like eucalyptus removal as an example in the City of Yorba Linda. Yorba Linda got a Cal Fire grant worth around $5 million and did tons of vegetation management. The community recommended a campaign on awareness as well.
o Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Wildfire and slope stability is an issue. Thistle crowds out other vegetation and everything else dies around, then inherently destabilize slopes. We are looking $93k to take care of City’s parcels which is around 230-260 acres; about 1,200 – 1,500 acres of open space is privately owned – could we create a mitigation action could help HOA address this (vegetation management for wildfire abatement and landslide stability)?

City of San Clemente, California
Internal Focus Group Meeting #1
x Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We have someone in MBI that can restore native plants for San Clemente x Follow up question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Are there any issues in code enforcement for vegetation management? x Answer from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Not too many people “deforesting”.
x Comment from Danielle Sorahan (Code Compliance) – Weed abatement has been pretty smooth, weed abatement are more so for private lots. x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Weed abatement tends to deal with areas next to homes not open space. OCFA fuel modification zone programs deals with areas next to homes and has recommended list of City properties that need weed abatement.
x Follow up comment from Adam Atamian (Community
Development) – There is one canyon not accessible – Acapulco water reservoir is really hard to access for vegetation management.
o Comment from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – Could we put OCFA’s additional project funding towards
vegetation management and could this be under
watershed restoration?
o Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We usually can put these under nature-based solutions.
Native species tend to be the most fundable and can
protect the integrity of slopes too.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Are there any assets the City would like to do a seismic retrofit on?
o Answer from Robert Ferguson (Building) – Possibly the City Hall building especially as it is now where the sheriff’s office is. The building was bought as a bank building 30 years ago.
x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – There are 2 unreinforced listed in critical facilities map in the General Plan located in downtown on El Camino Real.
x Comment from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – The “Concession stand” in north beach identified as critical facility. x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – This is related to anti-camping laws; Adam will be critical if this will be used as a critical facility.
x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – We can put developing a new EOC as a mitigation action; City Hall would be a good place for a new EOC (currently at the building end of the utility yard) x Question from Robert Ferguson (Building) – Regarding the High Fire Severity Zone, can we include defensible spaces by OCFA on the High Fire Severity Zone Map? o Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Yes, we can overlay the two so that the maps shows where the defensible spaces are. x Question from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Are we looking for more mitigation actions from staff?

Internal Focus Group Meeting #1
o Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Yes, we will be asking for more feedback in forms of surveys, etc. from staff. x Question from Robert Ferguson (Building) – STAPLE/E Table 1-2 shows vague buildings codes whereas San Clemente has the strictest sprinkler code. Why is that? o Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – This is a FEMA generated table to be used as a guideline for jurisdictions.
Next Steps/Action Items Summary
Action Item: MBI to include the OCFA defensible space overly on the High Fire Severity Zone map.

Internal Focus Group Meeting #2
o Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – The critical facilities dot numbers correspond to the tables. We show critical facilities at high scale to not disclose exact location of each critical facility.
x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) -- When this update process ends, if there’s a way to get funding for the EOP and to condense it.
2. What is a Mitigation Action?
x No Questions
3. Mitigation Action Discussion
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Where does the relationship between PW and ComDev.
o Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – ComDev deals with vegetation management, and PW deals with facilities.
o Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – EOP is the longest document and should be normal binder size.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Are there any campaigns along with hazards?
o Answer from Adam Atamian (Community Development) -- Vegetation goes along with com dev goes with public facilities.
o Answer from Rachel Perez (Public Works) – CERC perks passes out tsunami information.
o Answer from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Tri City; Jacob Green and associates to provide oversight but contract ends in December; not sure if will have the expertise to continue the oversight and coordination. It would be nice to apply for a grant that will have that; RIT limited in terms of ability to staff it. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Are there any City assets that public works deals that need any work done like a seismic retrofit during a hazard? o Answer form Jake Ohana (Public Works)– Water reservoirs at top of major hills is a concern and at the bottom of the hill’s sewer infrastructure can’t be blocked and every slope that has a storm drain that collects that water and giant channels. o Comment – Surface water runoff is also an issue.
o Comment – Less watering needs to take place.
Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Less watering might be a part of the bluff protection ordinance, however there is only so much enforcement people to do. Additionally, expansive clay soil makes the infrastructure sensitive, however Shore cliffs area seems fine.
Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Maybe revegetating with natives can give an opportunity to reset the hillsides. o Comment from Shawn Ryan (CIP) – Reducing amount of water being put in the ground miles behind such as Talega neighborhood. Overtime the water and land migrates towards the coast. This happened to Casa Romantica which had a clay seem where water got in and caused the building to slide. Main problem is abundance of rain and over-watering.
Comment – Maybe a program or outreach can rectify this problem? There are existing rebates to reduce irrigation needs, etc.

City of San Clemente, California
Internal Focus Group Meeting #2
o Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We can talk about a watershed-based approach as a solution and have drought tolerant landscaping for slope stability and outreach. This, however, can be a harder item to track. o Question from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – Are there geological hazard abatement districts?
Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – MBI has a team in Pittsburg working on slope instability. Abatement district local tax funding to bucket to fix problems arise.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Are there any critical facilities or certain problems that should be put on the docket now so that nothing surprises us in terms of mitigation actions? FEMA grants up to $50 million per project so we can thing big. Does not need to have a short timeline. Mitigation actions are usually 5 years, but we can think long-term as well.
o Comment from Jake Ohana (Public Works)– Where do the critical facilities come up? There are a couple of bridges, and a giant underground channel is huge is a flood plain that is susceptible to liquefaction.
o Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Is there a culvert? Answer from Jake Ohana (Public Works) – There are 2 channels 1 by County and 1 by SC. Outfall could be a problem, but whole channel is owned by SC. Channels M01 is owned by San Clemente; M02 is owned by Orange County.
Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Even if a facility is not owned by the City, it can be deemed critical. From an organizational standpoint, we can identify the outfalls and upstream as critical. This can highlight concern from flood where channel capacity is exceeded. The same goes for seismic hazards, dam, flood, and tsunami intersection.
Comment – If the County owned bacteria water treatment site were to blow up, we’d have to start from scratch on water treatment. Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We will follow up on that.
o Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Is there anything else to document in terms for reducing risk such as coordinating with the County? Comment from Jake Ohana (Public Works)– The State and County allegedly inspecting the channels.
o Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Are there any bridges of concern?
Answer from Jake Ohana (Public Works)– None.
Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Normally for bridges we say entire trans systems, but we can do a high-level review of bridges.
o Follow Up Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Are there any bridges where it’s a neighbor the only evacuation?
Comment from group – No; Talega and Marblehead may be impacted and would be annoying to evacuate, but residents can still get out. Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – If there is a neighborhood isolated, we should add to the critical facilities list.
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
Internal Focus Group Meeting #2
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – For final thoughts, are there any ideas on unmapped hazards such as human caused hazards that can theoretically impact the City?
o Answer from Jake Ohana (Public Works)– We need to underground all powerlines. This can be an action item.
o Answer from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – Under forest management – Would that include an urban forest management plan? Niki Beach is waiting on grant funding to complete the plan. o Comment – Power outages – We need back-up power. We already got a generator for City Hall but need some for water and sewer. Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – FEMA will pay for some of them.
Next Steps/Action Items Summary
Action Item: MBI/City to consider adding M01, M02, and other related infrastructure to the critical facilities list.
Action Item: MBI to follow up on bacteria water treatment site with City to see if it should be listed as a critical facility.

o Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Maybe can coordinate with Leslea too.
2. What is a Mitigation Action?
x No Questions
3. Mitigation Action Discussion
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We will be evaluating qualitatively hazards as another deliverable, so widespread, are there any challenges with the hazards and are they any solutions?
o Answer from Andy Hall (City Manager) – Regarding tsunami evacuation zones, one of the things we did and undid was identify tsunami evacuation routes then unidentified because it sent wrong message to a lot of people. Because tsunami evacuation route was looked at important people that any construction would obstruct the route. A tsunami study stated that tsunami evacuation zones should go maybe go 2 or 3 blocks inland. Thus, we want to make sure that hazard zones match the issue. Current evacuation routes that go up to Camino Real and maybe they won’t need to go up that far.
Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Tsunami was ranked pretty low in the hazard priority list.
o Comment from Andy Hall (City Manager) – I think there are two important issues in the community and that are Landslide and fire. Landslides can impact few homes at a time, where fire can impact many homes at a time. We want to make sure the HMP represents the severity of the hazard.
o Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Tsunami had to be included. Also adding defensible space overlay was discussed earlier and that community development responsible for veg management. We also talked about procuring defensible space.
o Question from Andy Hall (City Manager) – Are there any benefits to a program like FireWise? We would benefit being from ISO to be a Firewise community especially as many lose their fire insurance. Mostly Talega community is losing their fire insurance.
Comment from Meredith Scott (Community Development) – This is brought up in outreach events as well.
Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – All hazards will be ranked, and all mitigation actions will also be ranked. The list will have 30 – 50 mitigation actions and will be ranked high, med, low and have a timeline associated with it.
o Question from Andy Hall (City Manager) – Will wildfire corridors and MSHCP tie into this plan?
Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – This can take coordination Camp Pendleton on the wildfire hazard zone an enhancing coordination.
Comment – is fire history needed? Wildfires used to be pretty regular; big one in 70s burned some homes that triggered the fire sprinklers ordinance. One fire came from the south and into far eastern part of town.
Marblehead fire started in a planter in a landscaped slope. And one small one 6 years ago on the perimeter.

Internal Focus Group Meeting #3
Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Wildfires don’t happen here once a year like Camp Pendleton, but they do used to occur often.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – This tough to go back to historical land use. We also heard about insurance at the San Clemente coffee chats. Enhancing ISO and FireWise could have a benefit to residents, so we try to do so. It is tough to look at how land uses have changed wildfire. Is there reduced risk we can take in other areas of the City?
x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – We talked about potential mitigation to revegetate for water shed, drought and fire.
x Comment from Andy Hall (City Manager) – The ready set go program as part of the educational items. We could get grant funding to incentivize more home-by-home fire protection inspection and defensible space. For example, we are a Tree USA city, but we have tons of eucalyptus trees.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Ready set go program along with American Red Cross can help with making sure there are working fire alarms and emergency preparedness kit.
x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – I am meeting with Red Cross currently about shelters around town.
Only one we haven’t identified is the community center and hoping to reach out to the churches in town. Schools are a no-go with evacuation shelters.
x Question – Can there be a mitigation action helping prepare an emergency shelter?
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We can factor ADA factor if it can be an emergency shelter.
x Comment – Dave has to come up with a safety plan for water reservoirs system… Multi-jurisdictional hazard plan, RRA; all of Cities.
x Question from Jake Rahn (Finance) – As part of the reservoir, will the Santa Margarita Water District be a part of the HMP planning process?
x Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Invited them to, but don’t think they’ll come.
x Comment – How do you keep the plan confidential in an HMP? x Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) -
Incorporation by reference.
Comment from Andy Hall (City Manager) – Adam mentioned about replacing eucalyptus in the urban forestry management plan. Niki Beach would like to include Mexican fan palms in the plan.
Comment from Audrey Tamayo (Project Planner, MBI) and Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Cal-Fire has list of recommended trees; LCP; native plants.

Internal Focus Group Meeting #3
x Comment – One pump station on landslide vulnerability in Linda Lane needs to be added since its already affected by a landslide.
o Answer from Noelle – We can look into this.
x Comment – Commuter rail labels on the map exhibits doesn’t capture the full value of the railways.
o Comment – The railway is a LOSSAN rail corridor; local state and federal operated and at risk for landslides and coastal erosions. o Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We can add that label to the map. Linear facilities are taken out as evaluation in GIS and output of how many linear miles are in each hazard zone. We usually talk about linear facilities qualitatively.
x Question – Will there be multiple hazard mitigation zones? Ex. Geological landslide zone; railroad will play into that; but probably needs to be included that the railroad will intersect that hazard.
x Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Will reference another plan; requires an update every 5 years.
x Comment from Andy Hall (City Manager) – Coastal Commission LCP wants to renew every 5 years but takes a long time to approve.
x Comment – How do we not end up with a plan that has been updated since 2008? o Comment from Noelle – Our hazard mitigation plans have a checklist to continue monitoring the mitigation actions and to have more momentum with the plan updates.
x Comment – So we help with other communities with the plan? o Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We can qualify for a lot more projects.
x Question from Andy Hall (City Manager) – Has there been any resistance with the HMP? o Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – no. x Question from Andy Hall (City Manager) – Have any other communities been successful?
o Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Yes. Landslide HMP in Pennsylvania has been successful. Also, Yorba Linda acquired a fire grant. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – What is the largest perceived threat in your community, but not located within the City? Like SONGS? We have mentioned it in the map, but SONGS is not shown because it is out of the boundary. o Comment – We used to have nuclear drills back in the day. o Comment – We considered putting in a warning system and is really expensive. o Question from Andy Hall (City Manager) – There is no long-term plan for SONG.
The City gets money from SONGS to pay for emergency management and is running out in 2029. Is there a possibility to get it in the HMP? Comment – We would have annual drill plan to Costa Mesa fairgrounds, and potassium and iodine pills. When the plant was decommissioned plant we did not need it.
Comment – Locals still worried about spent nuclear fuel; Meredith was a part of outreach and observed this concern.
Comment – Millions of dollars are going to communities where they may be affected in the future but there should be local mitigation education now.

Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Is there a desire for emergency sirens in San Clemente? Beverly Hills just installed a siren system.
x Comment – Yes there is a desire for fire and tsunamis at the lifeguard towers.
Question – Does the siren/alarm have words?
x Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Yes, has both sounds and 3 different languages. The sirens are tricky though because in Lahaina, HI, officials did not sound the tsunami alarm for the fires but could’ve saved lives by sounding it. x Question from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Related to Shawn Ryan regional water control underground; San Clemente is not in the FEMA community rating system. Will becoming a CRS city be beneficial? (SC doesn’t have a lot of flood plains) o Answer from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – CRS has a lot of work to make sure in compliance such as a third-party judge, audit, etc. Points are directly related to a discount in flood insurance. If the City is paying directly for flood insurance, then may or may not help. Noelle will look into this and give a more formal recommendation. Having a HMP is considered as points to a CRS community.
o Comment – MO1 channel is entirely in one of the flood plains.
Next Steps/Action Items Summary
Action Item: Follow up with Rod Mellott from Marine Safety to go over tsunami hazard considerations, along with Samantha Wylie, Leslea Meyerhoff, and Laura Campagnolo.
Action Item: MBI to look into pump station near Linda Lane that is noted as vulnerable to the landslide hazard.
Action Item: MBI to correct “commuter rail” labels on hazard maps.
Action Item: Noelle Anderson to follow up with City on recommendations for pursuing CRS program requirements.

Internal Focus Group Meeting #4
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Roxanna, this might be a bit early, but what types of facilities and programs will be offered at the new Hoag facility? o Response from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – The facility should come online in Q3 of next year… urgent care, radiology, OBGYN, internal medicine, potentially sports medicine or occupational and physical therapy. The City has a very active community, so the sports component is needed. A specialty timeshare will also exist with sports medicine, and GI.
Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – And the educational offerings would complement these?
Response from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – Correct. There may even be fitness classes offered… I saw a few renderings of people doing yoga. x Question from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – Is the facility going to be by the outlets?
o Response from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – No, where the Office Depot used to be.
Hoag does a lot of community events including the surf competition, national teams such as USA Volleyball, and NFL events testing players. We can examine the needs in the City to see what programs we should incorporate. As a nonprofit, much of our mission is to provide healthcare, but also support other organizations.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – In terms of recent wildfires, has HOAG been impacted and do you have an emergency plan for wildfires? o Response from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – We have been impacted by wildfires, which caused health center closures near the fire itself. As people evacuate, less people visit the centers. Our facilities could function as a miniature command center and we can help with triage. Most urgent cares have nurse practitioners who triage people all the time. We can look at how this can be incorporated into the City’s emergency plans. We would love to see how we can support the City through a command center and/or medical operations. We do not have a decontamination trailer, but we have people who can support. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – In previous meetings with the City, we have wanted to identify shelter locations that are also ADA compliant. Has the Rotary been involved?
o Response from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – Yes; FAM puts out a call for volunteers and is usually how we get involved in delivering meals to shut-ins… 62 members.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Any overlap of Rotary members in CERT?
o Response from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – Not that I’m aware of. Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We know the Rotary club and others are involved… with large groups, there can be an interest in collaboration.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Are there any programs you both would like to see expand capacity to reduce vulnerability to hazard or benefit socially vulnerable populations?

City of San Clemente, California
Internal Focus Group Meeting #4
o Response from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – I would like to see the environment put into focus including more native planting on slopes, and slope stabilization. I know there has been a non-functional turf ban by the state, so we would like to get involved with non-commercial organizations that are like: “what do we do?”
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Same from Hoag… any future plans to expand services to the socially vulnerable that we can plan to help encourage or grow?
o Response from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – I would have to take that back to see if there are any plans to increase support. I am on the North Tustin Fire Safe Council.
x Question from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – Are there tsunami signs posted from the City? o Response from Meredith Scott (Community Development) – Yes. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Top priorities have turned out to be wildfire, coastal erosion, and landslide, which is probably not surprising. The City wildfire zone is isolated in certain areas, and there is a slight gap in data in the northern parts of the City… a later question for CAL FIRE.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Roxanna, what initiatives are you working on with the Fire Safe Council?
o Response from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – I help with Chipper Days in removing debris from yards… we have a company that comes in to remove the debris.
That is our big thing for the year, and we do community education in partnership with OCFA.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Is Chipper Days nonprofitdriven, or county-driven? Is there a good turnout? o Response from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – Nonprofit and yes, good turnout. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – In regard to landscape architecture, outside of native planting and reducing flammability, you mentioned the Rotary is involved in Tree City USA?
o Response from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – Yes, there is a push for carbon removal and a whole rubric of how many trees we have. Has the City attained [membership in] Tree City USA?
Response from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – I thought we were close… I’m not involved in the project, but we can follow up. x Comment from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – It is somewhat ornamental, but since they are using predominantly native oak, there are considerations other than aesthetic.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Is a lot of the planting taking place in parks?
o Response from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) –Yes, in parks, in medians… x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – I’m wondering if we could leverage the desire to place an emphasis on the environment with community capacity to withstand wildfire.
o Response from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – We interact with the senior center a lot, and would like to see some sort of mandatory HOA requirements Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

regarding acacia. HOAs just completely fall down in keeping the acacia they plant way too much of under control. It usually takes the community calling OCFA to come out for something to be done. They have some sort of education for replanting and maintenance when things have gotten to the point of presenting a fire hazard.
Comment from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – OCFA will come out and assess your home for fire safety risk.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We have a contact, Beth, who procures nonprofit finding distributed to HOAs to reduce wildfire risk. Our bio team works with them to assess the landscape and what native plants to use based upon priority hazards.
o Question from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – Nonprofit? Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Yes, it is a 501C3 in the center with Trader Joes and The Habit off of Camino de los Mares/Camino de Estrella. We have worked with her in Mission Viejo, and potentially Lake Forest.
Comment from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – If we could enhance education at the senior center, the Rotary could help.
x Question from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – How do you determine if something is a critical facility?
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – The City has a critical facility list, and we have determined that Hoag should be a critical facility that will be listed as not yet online. Any facility used for government response or if a failure would cause issues with continuity of government. City-owned, public safety, and parks are included as locations in neighborhoods where there is not enough space to triage. The vulnerability assessment takes critical facilities, residential units, and square footage to come up with our vulnerability assessment and development impacts.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Hoag appears to be outside of all hazard zones except landslide. We will map and add Hoag to this map. All of this data is state resource so state-produced maps with the exception of flood maps. FEMA produces flood maps and is comprehensively re-evaluating them (RiskMap). These maps will be updated to assess the most recent update, since the last update was in the 1990’s.
o Question from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – Are any cities incorporating risk information from SoCal Edison? The biggest risk is when we lose power, especially considering aging infrastructure.
Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – SCE and SDG&E serve the City, and we are meeting with them next week. FEMA funding can also procure generators… is the Hoag facility being equipped with backup power?
Response from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – No, not for this facility, unfortunately. If procedures were to take place in the building, we would have to, but there is no plan for that.
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
Internal Focus Group Meeting #4
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We are trying to evaluate the City’s generator capacity. If we want to get a cost-sharing partnership, we can do it with Hoag. FEMA like to see partnerships and it increases the likelihood of project approval. I assume, as well, that Hoag has emergency preparedness plans and appropriate training in coordination with OCFA/OCSD.
o Response from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – We don’t drill at every site, but we drill with OCSD for active shooter. We’d like to partner with cities to have staff service in the command center and see how we can support medical operations. Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Actions will definitely include how to include Hoag into the City’s EOP as a great partnership opportunity.
Comment from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – We can see how we can incorporate “Quick Connect” … if you provide a generator, we can provide the rest.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – What other emergency plans do you have? Do you have internal emergency staff?
o Response from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – We have a lot, and yes, internal staff.
2. What is a Mitigation Action?
x No questions
3. Mitigation Action Discussion
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We are putting the information we receive into mitigation actions for the plan, and this information will then be taken to see how it can be used to inform competitive grant applications. For natural systems protection, we talked about native plants. Structure and infrastructure can be seismic retrofit projects. All mitigation types are eligible for FEMA grant funding, up to $50 million. We’re trying to identify what would be competitive, so we can get grant dollars to San Clemente.
x Comment from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – In terms of the decommissioning of the SONGS nuclear generating plan, some local groups do good risk communication. It still feels like the risk hangs over the town.
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – From a community risk and awareness standpoint, we want to keep communication open about SONGS. Power outages have also been profiled under human-caused hazards. x Question from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – Do we have anyone related to Camp Pendleton?
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Yes, we have them as a stakeholder. We have also flagged the train as a federal, state, and local corridor and associated risk of human-caused hazards and wildfire. x Comment from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – This may not be a major disaster, but any air accident or multi-casualty events is something to consider. People have to get through San Clemente to get to other places for medical help, and we don’t have a trauma center here.
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
Internal Focus Group Meeting #4
o Response from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – Are they closing down Mission [Hospital] in Laguna? If so, getting to the Mission Viejo trauma center will be a big issue.
x Comment from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – I don’t see any skilled nursing facilities or dialysis centers when referring to the vulnerable. Getting people evacuated safely, you would think, should be on this list of the facility is of a certain size. If you put urgent care on here, skilled nursing and other residential care also have residents. o Response from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – In terms of skilled nursing and residential care, we have elderly care, down syndrome, and others.
We don’t have a list of all of these facilities, but the state would. Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We aways get uncomfortable listing private homes as a critical facility, as it is hard to draw the line of what is a public asset.
Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – We have assisted care facilities, including new ones coming online now. x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Some private care facilities have been there for decades, are very start/stop, and may no longer be operating. o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – From a triage standpoint, it is easier to include those and target resources there. We could include educational awareness campaigns that allow for those uses to reach out for support if they need help. During an evacuation, OCSD’s standing incident command post is relying on people to reach out if they need help. We have three urgent cares, which will be added to the list.
Comment from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – We do have Hoag at Home, where we do hospice, physical therapy, and postpartum care that we can bring to San Clement as requested. Hoag also comes to skilled nursing facilities to provide care, as we have nurses and doctors who can provide care where those services are not presently available.
x Question from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – Does the City have cooling centers? o Response from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Yes, the library… I’m not sure if the community center has formally been designated as one. Comment from Roxanna Bryant (Hoag) – We could look into making a lobby or exam room a cooling center at Hoag that can accommodate approximately 20 people, but not 100.
Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – It would be ideal to have multiple cooling centers so that not everyone shows up at one location.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We will take all of this information, compile it, and gather everyone back into a big group to present mitigation action findings for your input. We anticipate the plan to be drafted in approximately four weeks. Our goal is to get the plan delivered to FEMA by December, with Q2 of 2025 as the goal for a formally approved plan, City council adoption, and eligibility for grant funding.
x Question from Laura Bard (San Clemente Rotary) – Will the City use this plan as a revenue source to shore up the coast?
o Response from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Our mitigation actions and funding sources would determine this. We have other groups involved in addressing coastal erosion and protection of the train tracks.

other hazards. We have a similar approach regarding areas within the installation that are critical for operations. We are looking for areas of resilience including adding alternative energy to seal off the base for up to 14 days as mandated by the Department of Defense (DOD). Generators, long duration battery storage…our process is to plan, respond, and recover. We have evacuation centers… we have had in 2017 and as far back as 2007 evacuation facilities for the Fallbrook Community Center when there were lots of fires. We stand up our own command and control center and dovetail with the community on mutual aid.
We provide military support to local communities based on saving life and responding immediately. Requests have to go up to the DOD to request use of assets.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Does the mutual aid agreement work both ways so that the City can request support and vice versa? o Response from Jammal Osamah (Resiliency Manager, Camp Pendleton) – Mutual aid is with CAL FIRE and other fire departments. Oceanside, North County Fire, some fire response in the north, but probably haven’t gone into San Clemente. I think we have an MOU with OCFA to do fire break work. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – I’m curious about a federal entity being on a normal MOU with other cities. It makes sense for Fallbrook as there are lots of fires in northern San Diego County and supporting existing coordination with fire departments.
o Response from Jammal Osamah (Resiliency Manager, Camp Pendleton) – For SONGS, the NRC is another federal agency… we coordinate with them on response through the SCE tenant.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We have been hearing about the SONGS educational campaign and awareness that it is no longer an active plant, but we don’t want it to fall by the wayside. Any awareness campaigns with SCE, or is it largely their responsibility?
o Response from Jammal Osamah (Resiliency Manager, Camp Pendleton) – I sit on the SONGS CEP board and if there are any questions specific to us, I respond. Generally, we don’t comment on our position for normal questions that people show up with. Our position is that we want it out here as fast as you do, but we understand the limitations. Other than that, our agreement with SCE Is all based upon real estate agreements, etc. It’s not something we asked to be put on Pendleton, but hopefully will get moved on from us in 20-30 years. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We want to flag what is already happening before we add to the list. We would also like to open the conversation to any programs or offerings the City senior center or Camp Pendleton would like to partner with the City to facilitate? For timelines, these are 5-year plans so we are looking for actions that can be completed during this timeframe. SONGS will be longer-range actions, so will be considered long term.
o Response from Beth Apodaca (Age Well) – Not at this time. We have no space to build even if we wanted to. Most thing we need we have or get through the county or other agencies. We’re good for 5 years… can’t think of anything.

City of San Clemente, California
Internal Focus Group Meeting #5
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – I’m seeing a warming or cooling center as a key action. The senior center is not a formal warming/cooling center, correct?
o Response from Beth Apodaca (Age Well) – Correct, only reason we could be is because of the generator. We’re more of a backup place. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Is the senior center ADA compliant?
o Response from Beth Apodaca (Age Well) – Yes.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Jammal, anything to add or just communicate more in the future?
o Response from Jammal Osamah (Resiliency Manager, Camp Pendleton) – If the City identifies a shortfall, they can reach out. The request would have to be item specific to see if we can do it given regulations and limitations. There is an office in the DOD called the Office of Local Defense, Community Cooperation which is funded by congress to take action such as the Defense Community Infrastructure Program. If the City wants to apply, Oceanside applied to build a new fire station.
We have an agreement with them that Fire Station 1 backfills some of Pendleton’s stations. We endorsed the package. San Clemente and North County Fire tried for a $20m fire station… Oceanside tried to reinforce the railroad through San Clemente (sand replenishment) to keep slopes from sliding due to erosion. The project didn’t make the cut, but we supported it. We can play into a partnership if we have a tie-in and the City comes up with an idea where Pendleton can benefit.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – I’m interested in the DOD program. Is it discretionary…?
o Response from Jammal Osamah (Resiliency Manager, Camp Pendleton) – It opens annually and you submit an application with an endorsement from the nearest installation. We normally work with cities to craft wording to flag (as needed) resiliency or other key words backed up by information. From an education standpoint, we have annual exercises for security threats, respond to natural disasters, and have a full spectrum of organizations that come to the command center to exercise… we do tabletops. Maybe the City would like to participate? May not be a bad idea since the City is adjacent to the base. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Does OCFA and OCSD participate?
o Response from Jammal Osamah (Resiliency Manager, Camp Pendleton) – Not sure if they have, but CAL FIRE does and those agencies occasionally respond on the northern side of the base to fires. They start on the base and threaten the City.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Does Camp Pendleton emergency management staff participate in OCSD OEM training? o Response from Jammal Osamah (Resiliency Manager, Camp Pendleton) – We haven’t done it with Orange County, but perhaps San Diego. We are trying to make it more inclusive… there has been talk about the roles of local law Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

enforcement. We also must be prepared for low probability but high threat scenarios, such as war with China.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – If the City is interested, we have open communications for later participation. Thank you for the grant information on a potential railroad track partnerships even though it didn’t pass. Is there anything we missed or any hazards you have questions on?
o Response from Jammal Osamah (Resiliency Manager, Camp Pendleton) – Pendleton does not.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We are almost through the preparation process, and will be convening the larger stakeholder group in 2-3 weeks, along with a draft plan shortly for review and feedback. We are aggregating this information into mitigation actions to be provided to stakeholders before public review.
Cal OES and FEMA review end of November or early December, and 3-4 months for review and approval. We want to get an approved LHMP as soon as possible.

City of San Clemente, California
Internal Focus Group Meeting #6
o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – If they have CERT, yes.
Mostly via social media and sharing with the City so they can push the messaging out.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – CERT in the City is active, so happy to facilitate this. In terms of doing site visits to document existing conditions, do you have a report where you aggregate findings? How does the word get back to decision makers?
o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – The Fire Marshal gives information to the City or works with City planning to take care of it. Not sure if there is a report, but I can follow up with the Fire Marshal. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Do you workshare at all with CAL FIRE grant administration? We have seen some, such as the City of Yorba Linda, get grant funding for vegetation management.
o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – Community risk reduction usually works on that, and doesn’t include us much unless they need clarification.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – How is coordination with the fire department at Camp Pendleton? We know federal coordination isn’t the easiest, but Camp Pendleton mentioned a mutual aid agreement. Are there shared wildfire actions? o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – We work with them a lot, and we have an automatic aid agreement on both sides where we send resources. If fires come off of the base into the mutual threat zone, we send a full wildland response. If it is on base and close to the zone, we send at least a chief officer there to make sure it doesn’t threaten the City or Orange County.
Agreements and working relations have been good, and we have worked on a lot of fires with them. As far as mitigation, we don’t do it with them on a normal basis, but we do a dozer school on base. We do this every year, but no access to just go down and cut dozer line. They have a lot of good dozer line. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Would dozer school be a training opportunity and be beneficial for mutual learning? o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – Yes, good for the dozer operators to go down and practice.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Are the fire breaks cut on a regular basis?
o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – Yes, usually in the spring time.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Outside of fire breaks, are there any opportunities for wildfire mitigation such as San Clemente partnering with neighbors to cut other fire breaks? Or would existing major fire breaks adequately protect the City in the case of a ridge fire coming down from Talega? o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – There is a lot of brush on Rancho Mission Viejo land, but they do a good job on cutting fire breaks. Most of the breaks off of Ortega are far into the brush. There are no direct dozer lines behind homes in Talega. It is hard to determine where to cut the breaks without a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

fire on the ground. A fire in the Cleveland National Forest would hit the area hard, so we put hard dozer lines there this year.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – It sounds like there is good regional protection in terms of vegetation management and control. In Yorba Linda, they removed hazardous shrubs and invasive species including eucalyptus and pepper trees.
It sounds like a CAL FIRE grant would just be supplementary if a fire comes upon managed vegetation.
o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – The City works with community risk reduction to do fuel mods where they can in the City. I do not get involved very much, but I know my team does a lot.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Some canyons are difficult to access… we worked with a woman who has goats and there is mixed feedback as to if this is a good way to thin vegetation.
o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – I’ve never seen them, but I know they work in Laguna. I’ve heard they eat everything, including fruit trees.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – Does OCFA have a GIS layer of defensible space regulated areas? Or would the City manage this? o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – I will add this to the list for the Fire Marshal. Unsure if this is us or the City. I know there are lots of pockets between neighborhoods, with some having defensible space. Unsure who mandates this.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – From your perspective, is it more about if there were to be a fire in between the I-5 freeway and Avenida Pico/ in canyons between homes that would be the main concern?
o Response from Cheyne Maule (Division Chief, OCFA) – Yes, off of the [Cleveland National] forest would be bad too… but yes, fuel islands between homes are a concern.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – If there are any OCFA deliverables regarding vegetation thinning that need funding we can include them, but not hearing that this is much of a concern, which is good. We will follow up with those unable to join us today as to if they have ideas as well. OCSD and other utility agencies were also invited.
x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – We gave a brief to the department heads yesterday that the plan is to send out the mitigation actions to say this is what we want input on, and then send the full plan draft for those that want to read the whole document. We want to separate the mitigation actions out so that we can for sure get comments on those.
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We are good with keeping those actions separate and we are working on the draft plan now. We will direct people to the SharePoint site if they are interested and distribute the actions by email.
x Question from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – For the action items, would it be better to schedule a meeting to go over them or wait? I’m assuming it is selfexplanatory but given that this is the first take on them, it may be helpful.
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
Internal Focus Group Meeting #6
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – We have one more stakeholder meeting to gather everyone, and the actions will be the primary topic.
The week of November 11, we can provide the actions and come together for live feedback. We can then give them another week to digest. x Question from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Would you like people to work through the SharePoint, or would it be easier to send it out separately? o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager, MBI) – For the draft plan, it is easier on SharePoint. For the actions, it can be via email since people will just be doing their sections.
x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – We will have a conversation about that with the department heads, City Manager staff, Cheyne, and other public safety staff.
Next Steps/Action Items Summary

1. How Did We Get Here?
x No questions
2. Public Outreach Status
x No questions
3. LHMP Structure & Format
x No questions
4. Mitigation Action Table
x Question from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – In some cases on the mitigation actions, a project may be ongoing but ranked as low priority. For the items that are ongoing, should they be made high priority?
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – Yes, we can make the change to high priority for projects that are ongoing.
x Question from Dave Rebensdorf (Public Works/Utilities Director) – When are you looking for comments by?
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – November 12, so 1 week from today.
x Question from Dave Rebensdorf (Public Works/Utilities Director) – Who came up with “expands operations to increase local water supply…”? This is one small option, but you also have Doheny desalinization and other sources. This should be expanded to other alternative options (more broad).
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – Dustin and Jake sent us higher-level action item ideas, and these were incorporated here. We didn’t get more specific here in hopes of gaining specificity during this meeting. Totally agree that we can back this out to cover additional water sources and not pigeonhole it and include the desalinization plant. Actions can range in level of specificity from broad to specific.
x Comment from Dave Rebensdorf (Public Works/Utilities Director) – I think I want it to be more broad, and expanding wells has its own challenges. If there are outages during heavy rains, we cannot operate the wells. Doheny desalinization may be similar, so wider approaches make more sense.
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – The hazard profiles mention Doheny desalinization, but it is not mentioned in the mitigation action Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

table. Would we like to add this as something the City can benefit from? I believe this is associated with South Coast Water…
x Comment from Dave Rebensdorf (Public Works/Utilities Director) – Not sure if Doheny desalinization wants to be mentioned by the City Manager, but I will ask him. o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We can follow up on Thursday or Friday as well.
x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – Our team sifted through the CIP as well for items beyond 2025 we are aiming for, and you will see these included in the table as well. Additionally, the ordering of the table does not indicate priority, and is just an internal reference system. As of right now, all hazards are alphabetically ordered and we wanted to flag that coastal erosion, flood, and severe weather are often included as multiple hazards. We like to list all hazards that could potentially benefit and show a combined effort. If you see only three landslide actions, there are other actions categorized under “multiple hazards” as well.
x Question from Jake Ohana (Public Works) – I see a lot of the lift station stuff is specific… should we generalize it?
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We utilized the CIP to make these specific, but we can back them up if you would prefer. Response from Jake Ohana (Public Works) – I was looking at 27-29 and I think that is supposed to be “Califa” instead of “Caliagua” as a quick change. Other lift stations such as the one on Fontera is at risk of slope failure.
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – If not currently in the CIP, we can make a statement such as “evaluate opportunities to stabilize all lift facilities at risk”. We can merge these to make a more generalized statement. Response from Jake Ohana (Public Works) – Good idea.
x Comment from Jake Ohana (Public Works) – I think the beach sewer trunk line action is general enough, but we have various pump stations all over the place… it may be better to just say “protect network facilities”.
x Question from Zak Ponsen (Assistant City Engineer) – I apologize for missing the previous meeting, but some actions are very specific. Where does this regionally address landslide and expansive soils? Is it within the report itself? I know the State has our hazard maps.
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We do have a template action we have not yet added about community development and permitting process checks to make sure proposed buildings are safe given present risks. All mitigation actions are covered under multiple hazards due to landslide and slope failure being closely related. Liquefaction is also couched under seismic hazards.
We did not receive a lot of feedback on seismic, so we can document what they City is doing to build development to code.
x Comment from Zak Ponsen (Assistant City Engineer) – It seems like we can just have a general catch all. It should be acknowledged that we do these things and consider hazards. Not sure if this is an action, or more of an ongoing thing. o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We want to include future grant funding projects, but administrative mitigation actions are good to document what we are already doing and have an outline for the update to document positive progress.
x Question from Zak Ponsen (Assistant City Engineer) – Do you include things that are constantly ongoing?

Stakeholder Meeting #2 – Meeting Minutes
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We tend to add those… if we had a mitigation action list of like 15 items, we don’t need the admin ones.
Since we only have a few, I don’t think we have expansive soils included so we can add the admin action to cover it.
x Question from Jake Ohana (Public Works) – I don’t see anything about protecting our reservoirs and pump stations. It may be simpler to say “protect water and storm sewage facilities” to catch everything in one simple situation. I see there is one for increasing size, but we have facilities on the hillsides.
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – Yes, we can include this and we definitely want to cover those cascading impacts. x Question from Jake Ohana (Public Works) – Not sure if we want to explain in more detail, but we want to make the actions simple and not too many bullet points. o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – Landslide talks about lift stations… it has been detailed there but appreciate keeping actions simple in implementation.
x Question from Dave Rebensdorf (Public Works/Utilities Director) – I see we have 38 actions, which is a lot. Can we reduce them? We are already taking action to protect stations and I am not aware of any flooding near Columbo… the cul de sac is failing, but a lot of these the City has no control over.
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We can eliminate that action, but the force driving this number of actions is the feedback we received. If we just want to do a high level action about coordinate and evaluating as needed rather than calling out the specific street, we can if that helps to streamline it.
May also be useful not to call out a specific area if there are other challenges there.
Response from Dave Rebensdorf (Public Works/Utilities Director) – Maybe it goes back to… we can handle a lot of landslide comments in just one to two actions.
x Comment from Amir Ilkhanipour (Engineering) – I’d like to add to the discussion on Columbo: maybe we can make the case since we have a small sewer lift station at the end of the cul de sac there. Its good to protect that considering the impacts of the loss of a lift station.
x Question from Dave Rebensdorf (Public Works/Utilities Director) – Do the mitigation actions include things the City is already doing? We are aware of Columbo, so are we trying to show ongoing or new things? Maybe this is a policy decision? o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – It is good to include both in progress and ongoing projects. Is this a situation where action has been taken, but the problem hasn’t entirely been fixed?
x Comment from Jake Ohana (Public Works) –This goes back to a more generalized cast about facilities because that area is a facility lift station. Defending the cul de sac defends the lift station.
o Response from Dave Rebensdorf (Public Works/Utilities Director) – We also have drainage and storm drain pipe at the end of the cul de sac. x Question from Zak Ponsen (Assistant City Engineer) – Do we need to be specific for grants?
o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – More specificity helps, but it doesn’t preclude. Lots of flexibility here and we have included specific details based upon the input we were given.

Stakeholder Meeting #2 – Meeting Minutes
Comment from Zak Ponsen (Assistant City Engineer) – Columbo is known so it can be good to be specific, but for other areas such as coastal groundwater… maybe there are grant opportunities where the City gets included on non-HOA… for major groundwater removals. We may also get a bigger picture of known or unknown landslide areas. o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We can list existing areas, but the benefit of the broader approach is if there are any unlisted surprises, you are still covered. When the plan reaches the 5 year review, a broad action can foster discussion about what lift stations were worked on, and where we are working in the future. If actions are specifically separated out, there is more to check off – strictly personal preference.
x Question from Zak Ponsen (Assistant City Engineer) – Maybe it would be good to check things off the list, but maybe we can do a combination of both? o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – If an action is noncontroversial because it is well-known, it can be good to show substantial progress. A broader action can be used to back up other concerns as well over the next 5 years.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We are taking meeting notes that will be summarized and can be sent out tomorrow after we do a pass of the actions in track changes for redistribution. This will be accessible on the SharePoint. x Question from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – On the topic of sand replenishment…mitigation action #15 is about finding and partnership, not about what we actually want to see occur. If the action is talking about grants and partnerships rather than another way for us to get sand, would this preclude our grant abilities? For example, if we say that a project is to establish 250ft wide beach that spans the length of the City, we would focus on what results in this actually being accomplished… this action currently does not talk about the end goal, just finding grants. o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – It is good to include the ideal future conditions. Would this require technical studies, or is the vision here shovel ready if sand and funding is available?
Comment from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – Some are shovel ready such as one Army Corps projects involving environmental and permitting, while others are at the conceptual level where technical studies are needed. In Section 4, the vision here is described, while this is more action-based. Actions could change a lot depending upon the outcome. I think we should revisit if we want to rely on grants or other funding sources.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We can back it up to identify ideal conditions and briefly highlight future studies to accomplish it. FEMA grants cannot be used for certain CEQA projects, but can be used for technical studies. Planning grants are easier to apply for and the level of effort is much lower. o Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – The ability for this plan to assist in sand replenishment is the #1 concern, so I’m happy to connect more offline with Leslea and consultants on ways to ensure this includes anything we may need that would benefit our ability to get more sand. x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – In the last BRIC cycle, two projects in northern California got $50 million… I can see if I can download the sub applications so they can potentially spark some action ideas.
o Response from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – Yes, please.

Stakeholder Meeting #2 – Meeting Minutes
x Question from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – We mentioned at one of the recent stakeholder meetings about the inclusion of an action for a new EOC… I think the response then was that while this would assist in response, it is not a mitigation action. I do see a number of things that are related to the City’s emergency response, so wondering if we can add it. We have an existing temporary EOC and to set up one would be a mitigation action where we are quicker to respond to an emergency. x Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We can add this, and I apologize I do remember us discussing that we should add this. For the new EOC, are we talking about transitioning a part of city hall, sheriff’s station, retrofit, or new construction? o Response from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Retrofit city hall. Question from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – And the room would be stocked with equipment, vests…
Response from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – Yes. x Comment from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – I get the specific versus general… I think with public works and engineering, if you can find out what you are comfortable with, I can support… but I know with other plans… I think a lot of these actions are going to be ongoing, especially sand replenishment. If we accomplish the 250, the action is not done, as we are going to have to continuously accomplish this.
Lots of activities will be like this. When we report on these, I can anticipate comments about completed activities, not necessarily concerns that they may never be accomplished.
x Comment from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – I was going to add about the 250 foot beach: that is our objective of what we want to accomplish, but how we get there is the action itself. We would like to work with [Adam] and Noelle to fine tune where we want to start, such as “establish and maintain a beach…”. We can also help define coastal erosion goals in Section 4 as well.
o Comment from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – 250 is the planning number used for what would withstand a 100-year coastal storm. It is a good planning number. Before each hazard, we could list out what these actions are intended to accomplish.
Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – For sand nourishment that is a good goal to have. For more specific actions, this may not be necessary compared to broader actions.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We have seen actions that range from five paragraphs to one sentence, so we can do what is best fitting for each project. I know [Leslea] had mentioned that the NOAA grant-related action was “no good” last time, so we can delete it.
o Response from Leslea Meyerhoff (Coastal Administrator) – We submitted on two grants, and none were picked up. I will provide updates to other actions as well, including the strategy on action item #15.
x Comment from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – We appreciate this information and while we have not applied for a NOAA grant before, we have heard it is a competitive process. Comparatively, HMGP and FEMA grants have funds that go unused.
Competitive programs may need to be noted so that we don’t spin our wheels when less competitive programs are available as well. Our team will take a stab at cleaning up the public works and utilities actions to make them more bread. We will do all edits in redlines and then Dustin, Dave, and Jake can make their suggestions within the document.

Stakeholder Meeting #2 – Meeting Minutes
o Comment from Dave Rebensdorf (Public Works/Utilities Director) – We are going to wait to review until those edits are made.
Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – Sounds good, we will email the team by the end of the day once those edits have been made.
5. Q&A and Next Steps
x Question from Adam Atamian (Community Development) – If there are additional action items to be added, public works and utilities are to add them during their review? o Response from Noelle Anderson (Project Manager) – Yes, and we will shoot them an email once feedback has been incorporated.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of San Clemente, California
How can the public become involved in the hazard mitigation planning process? Public participation in the process is an important component in the planning process. Your participation helps raise awareness of the hazards we face in San Clemente, and the actions needed to mitigate those hazards. By participating in the process, you will be taking time to consider the hazards in our community, the impact of those hazards on life and property, actions that need to be taken to reduce that impact, and the priority of these actions.
Opportunities for the community to provide input, ask questions, and review/comment on draft documents will be provided throughout the planning process. Your comments, questions, ideas, and concerns will have a significant role in the plan’s preparation.
TAKE OUR SURVEY. Beginning mid-July, the LHMP community survey will be available via SurveyMonkey. This survey will help the LHMP Planning Team better understand the community’s concerns about natural hazards and identify policies and projects that can help lessen the impact of future hazard events. The survey provides the opportunity for you to share your opinions and participate in the mitigation planning process. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete and is anonymous. Your information will be kept confidential. The final results of the survey will be included within the LHMP.
Take our survey HERE.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENT. A community outreach event will be held this fall in order to engage the public and provide further opportunity for community input. You are encouraged to attend the community outreach event and share your specific knowledge about hazards and hazard mitigation in your community. This webpage will be updated with further information once available.
PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT LHMP. The LHMP will be made available for a two-week public review period (anticipated to occur in late fall 2024), where the City welcomes your comments and questions.
CONTACT US. Contact the City with questions and comments via Email: [email protected]
Draft Documents
Once available, draft documents will be posted here for review and comment

Hi Noelle,
I have a few final comments and edits:
1. For the mitigation actions, would it be good to include an item to “explore developing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan” (we’re looking into a USDA: Community Wildfire Defense grant opportunity for this)?
2. On page 5-21, the Climate Action Plan responsible agency is Public Works.
Sincerely,
Adam Atamian

Hi Noelle,
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, as well! I just double checked our LHMP email inbox, and there aren’t any emails. I have not received any comments directly, either. I’ll let Adam weigh in to let us know if he has anything to add.
Exciting that it could be on it’s way to Cal OES soon!
Thank you again!

Hi Adam and Meredith –
I hope you both had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Appreciate your coordination with Jake while I was out of office last week as well. Looks like the presentation to the public safety committee went well.
Wanted to follow up and confirm that no public comments on the LHMP were received – know that the [email protected] email was also forwarded to me, and I didn’t see any comments/feedback come through that avenue. We received one comment from Elora on a minor typo in Section 2 that we revised as well.
If there’s no further edits/comments on the deliverable, we can move toward final packaging and submit to Cal OES no later than Friday! Let us know and we’ll proceed accordingly.
Thank you!
