The Census reported that 7,419 people or100% of the population lived in households, no one (0%) lived in non-institutionalized group quarters or are institutionalized. There are 2,184 households, 1,929 families which 1,093 had children under the age of 18 living in them; 1,351 were married couples living together, 387 had a female householder with no spouse present, 191 had a male householder with no spouse present. There were 255 unmarried households. 8.4% of households were made up of individuals and 3.2 of households had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size of Woodlake is 3.53.

Housing: There were 2,184 housing units at an average density of 836. 8 per square mile, of which 1,122 were owner-occupied, and 1,062 were occupied by renters. The vacancy rate in Woodlake was 100%.

Economy: According to the 2020 ACS 5 Year Estimate 5,320 people are over 16 and considered eligible for work. 3,181 or 59.8% people are in the labor force and 1,512 are employed females over the age of 16.

The economy of Woodlake is largely education services, agriculture, food production and retail services. .

The largest employers are Woodlake Unified School District and Monrovia Nurseries.

Land use: Woodlake consists of a small business district surrounded by low and medium density residential properties and agriculture land. A large part of the incorporated area of Woodlake is set aside for parks , housing and designated for future industrial uses.

Dev
elopment trends: Woodlake experienced an annual population growth rate of 1.13% between 2019 and 2020. The employment growth rate between 2019 and 2020 grew by 4.82 %%.

The
Woodlake General Plan Update (Collins & Schoettler Planning Consultants, 2008), estimates a build-out population between 10,315 and 11,514, estimated to occur by year 2028. The plan’s “low” population projection is based on Woodlake’s average annual growth rate from 1990 to 2000 (1.59%), while its “high” Tulare County

population projection is based on the average annual growth rate from 1980 to 2000 (2.15%). The General Plan Update provides a residential land needs evaluation, projecting a need of between 90 to 179 acres of additional residential land by 2028.

The T
ulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) 2015 Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) forecasted population growth using the Department of Finance’s (DOF) projections and historical trends.

The SCS shows an estimated annual growth rate for Woodlake of 1.59%. The City plans for future growth through the implementation of policies and standards set forth in its General Plan. The General Plan is a long-term, comprehensive framework to guide physical, social and economic development within the community’s planning area.

Devel
opment in hazard prone areas:

Because population growth was less than two percent per year since approval of the 2017 MJLHMP, there has been no development in hazard prone areas that has affected overall vulnerability of the County.

Development that did occur, was primarily infill in urban areas where vulnerabilities are well understood and described.

Updat
ed dam inundation maps include a much larger area of the County. While little new development occurred in the expanded inundation zones, vulnerability to dam inundation increased substantially and now includes parts of Woodlake. Updated dam inundation maps for the County and affected cities are included in Appendix B.

The ne
w MJLHMP addresses the new hazard of climate change. This hazard impacts the entire City.

Development in the City, the State and globally with increased carbon emissions will result in increasing overall vulnerabilities to its impacts.

H.2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
Hazards: Woodlake faces many of the hazards that are present in the County. Table H-1 below provides a summary of hazards. Visalia faces many of the hazards that are present in the County. There are no hazards that are unique to Woodlake. Dam inundation is a particularly extensive hazard to the City. Both Terminus and Success Dams may inundate Visalia resulting in an overall potential inundation area of the entire City. Hazards in the City with unlikely frequency, limited extent, limited magnitude and low significance were not included. These include earthquake liquefaction - subsidence, civil unrest and terrorism/cyber terrorism.

Vulnerabilities and Potential Losses:

A risk assessment determines the vulnerability of assets within the City by evaluating the inventory of City owned existing property and the population exposed to a hazard. A quantitative vulnerability assessment is li mited to t he exposure buildings, an d in frastructures to t he identified h azards. This risk as sessment includes only those hazards that are natural.

Populations and Businesses at Risk
Residential population data for the City w as obtained from 2020 U. S. Ce nsus. In 2020 Woodlake h as a population of 7,708 with a median household income of $44,483 an 11% increase from 2019. oAccording to the U.S> Census 2020, Woodlake had 2,285 residential units with the median value of $193,500, up from $162,900 in 2019. The most common employment sectors for those who live in Woodlake are agriculture and retail trade.

Economic Risks
The economy of Woodlake is largely based on agriculture and food production. The City serves mostly as a commuter town with m any residents having to travel to larger population centers t o seek employment.

Local commerce is c omposed of mostly s mall, fa mily-owned b usinesses and ag riculture farms an d nurseries.

Vulnerability and Potential Losses
FEMA requires that an estimation of loss be conducted for the identified hazards to include the number of potential structures impacted by the hazards and the total potential costs. The analysis of potential losses calculated in Table H-4 used the best data currently available to produce an understanding of potential loss. These estimates may be used to understand relative risk from hazards and potential losses. There are uncertainties in any loss estimation method, resulting from lack of scientific study and the exact result of

hazard effects on the built environment, and from the use of approximations that are necessary for a comprehensive analysis.

Table H-4: Summary of Vulnerabilities and Potential Loss Hazard Type Impacts/Costs
Climate Change
Impacts: Climate change will cause multiple effects to infrastructure and community public health.

Warmer weather associated with climate change will result in more heat related illness. Drier weather will place increasing demands on imported and well water and may lead to long lasting draughts that result in water rationing.

Costs: Climate change costs are difficult to specify. They will occur and accrue over centuries. As temperatures rise, additional costs for climate control such as air conditioning will occur. Less precipitation may result in depletion of stored and ground water reserves with potential for increased water costs and rationing. Much of these costs will be borne by individuals and families. Increased costs will also affect businesses and government owned facilities. Researchers at UC Berkeley (Science, May 2017) concluded that for every 1-degree Fahrenheit increase in global temperatures, the U.S. economy stands to lose about

0.7 percent of its Gross Domestic Product, with each degree of warming costing more than the last.

Dam Inundation
Impacts: Dam inundation is a particularly extensive hazard to the City. Both Terminus and Success Dams may inundate Tulare resulting in an overall potential inundation area of the entire City.

Costs: A rapid failure of Success or Terminus Dam would result in catastrophic loss of life and injury, and property loss. Map B-6 depicts the potential footprint for dam inundation. Specifics of the inundation curves are contained in the Dam Emergency Action Plans which are a limited distribution document. The potential injury and death from a short notice dam failure could be in the 100s. Total losses within the Visalia jurisdiction could exceed $2,000,000.

Drought
Impacts: Drought produces a variety of impacts that span many sectors of the economy. Reduced crops productivity; increased fire hazard; reduced water levels; increased livestock and wildlife mortality; and rationing are a few examples of direct impacts. These problems can result in increased prices for food and lumber, unemployment, reduced tax revenues, increased crime, and foreclosures on bank loans to farmers and businesses, and migration. Populations that rely on or are affected by a lack of water or annual rainfall are most directly affected by droughts. The City is dependent on imported water for most of its needs. During prolonged draughts, water rationing is possible resulting in potentially higher water costs and loss of private and public landscaping.

Costs: Potential costs from draught to the City and its communities are difficult to quantify and are dependent upon draught duration and severity. In addition to increased costs for water, prolonged draught may result in reduced property values, loss of tax revenues and migration, all of which will cause economic losses.

Extreme Heat
Impacts: Extreme heat events, present serious health risks to the City’s most vulnerable populations. The effects of extreme heat (over 84°F) on human health are well documented. Increased temperature or extended periods of elevated temperatures can increase heat-related mortality, cardiovascular-related mortality, respiratory mortality, and heart attacks, while increasing hospital admissions and emergency Tulare County
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 2023

579
room visits. Extreme heat can also affect a person’s ability to thermo-regulate, causing heat stress and sometimes leading to death.

Costs: Extreme heat results in increased electricity usage and additional health care costs. While additional power costs affect both commercial and residential properties, added health care costs impact individuals and families. Extreme heat may reduce economic activity if prolonged.

Flood
Impacts: Flooding occurs in the City during periods of heavy rain due to inadequate drainage. The flat geography also contributes to ponding.

Costs: There are no accurate costs values associated with past flood events. Future flood incidents will likely result in structural damage and lost economic activity. Flood cost could be in excess of $5,000,000.

Wildland Fire
Impacts: Structures near the urban/wildland interface are susceptible to wildland fire. Impacts on low density communities are limited.

Costs: Costs to the City will include emergency response and damage to private property. Total costs are likely to be less than $1,000,000.

Bas
ed upon previously occurring incidents and the risk assessment, the following hazards are most likely to affect Visalia:
• Climat
e Change
• Dam Inundation
• Drought
• Extreme heat
• Fire
• Flood
The
se hazards which may impact agriculture, the economic driver of the city, represent critical vulnerabilities. In addition, these are hazards that represent vulnerabilities to infrastructure.

H.4 CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENT
The re
ason for conducting a capability assessment is to identify Woodlake’s capacity to successfully implement mitigation activities. Understanding internal and external processes, resources and skills forms the basis of implementing a successful HMP. Understanding strengths and weaknesses also helps ensure that goals and objectives are realistic and attainable.

The pla
nning team conducted an assessment of the City’s capabilities that contribute to the reduction of long-term vulnerabilities to hazards. The capabilities include authorities and policies, such as legal and regulatory resources, staff, and fiscal resources. Staff resources include technical personnel such as planners/engineers with knowledge of development and land management practi ces and an understanding of natural or human-caused hazards. The planning team also considered ways to expand on and improve existing policies and programs with the goal of integrating hazard mitigation into the day-to- day activities and programs of the City. In carrying out the capability assessment, several areas were examined:
• Plannin
g and regulatory capabilities
• Administrative and technical resources
• Fiscal resources including grants, mutual aid agreements, operating funds and access to funds • Technical and staff resources to assist in implementing/overseeing mitigation activities • Previous and Ongoing Mitigation Activities

1 Integrate the Tulare County HMP, in
particular the hazard analysis and
mitigation strategy sections, into local
planning documents, including general
plans, emergency operations plans,
and capital improvement plans.

All Unknown Medium Continuously
2 Seismically retrofit or replace public
works and/or emergency response
facilities that are necessary during
and/or immediately after a disaster or
emergency.

Public Works Unknown Low 5 or more years
3 Acquire, relocate, elevate, and/or
floodproof critical facilities that are
located within the 100-year
floodplain.

Development Unknown High Continuously
Incorporation into other plans : FEMA requires the HMP be consistent with and incorporated into other planning documents and processes. In the City of Tulare , these other planning documents and process include the General Plan Update, the City Code zoning ordinances and various infrastructure master plans.

The term incorporated in planning terms means that the HMP and the other plans have similar community goals and policies in that they advocate similar land use patterns, and they are consistent in their guidance of direction and rate o f growth. As other plans are updated or created, the HMP should be used as guidance.

Annex I Tulare County Office of Education
The Tulare County Office of Education (TCOE) serves over 100,000 students, and 43 elementary and nine high school districts in the County. Tulare County school districts range from single-school districts with as few as 20 students to large, multi-school districts with over 25,000 students. To address the challenge of serving such a diversity of districts, the TCOE is organized into four primary divisions: Business Services, Human Resources, Instructional Services, and Special Services.

Table I-1 contains a list of school districts:

I.1 Community Profile
The school districts are located throughout the County. As special districts within the cities and County, they fit within their individual community profiles.

I.2 Hazards Identification and Analysis
The school districts that are supported by TCOE face similar hazards to the communities they are located within. There are no hazards that are unique to the school districts. Table I-2 contains a risk analysis of the TCOE school districts based upon the County analysis. Hazards in the City with unlikely frequency, limited extent, limited magnitude and low significance were not included. These include earthquake liquefaction – subsidence and civil unrest.

I.3 Risk Assessment
The intent of this section is to assess the TCOE’s vulnerability separate from that of the Operational Area as a whole, which has already been assessed in Chapter 4 Risk Assessment in the base plan. This risk assessment analyzes the population, property, and other assets vulnerable to the hazards ranked of medium or high significance that may vary from other parts of the planning area. For more information about how hazards affect the County as a whole, see Section 5 of the base plan.

Infrastructure and Values at Risk:

This data should only be used as a guideline to determine the overall values in the school districts as the information has some limitations. Generally, the land itself is not a loss. Table I-3 shows the 2016 inventory for the school districts. All schools are part of the built environment.

Vulnerabilities and Potential Losses:

A risk assessment determines the vulnerability of assets within the TCOE by evaluating the inventory of existing property exposed to a hazard. The population and economy are considered as part of the overall County analysis. A quantitative vulnerability as sessment is limited to the exposure buildings, and infrastructures to the identified hazards. This risk assessment includes those hazards that are natural and terrorism.

Populations at Risk
The County estimated population for 2017 was 460,437. Approximately 20.9% are between the ages of 5 and 18. While not all of that segment attends TCOE school district institutions, the school day population is approximately 90,000 students, plus additional teachers and other staff.

Economi
c Risks
The economic risks associated with loss of schools extends beyond the value of the buildings. Schools serve as centers of the community and provide recreational, social and cultural benefits. During emergencies, schools serve as shelters. In all communities, schools provide child care, a critical service for single parent and two working parent families. Additionally, schools support nutritional, access and function needs, and enrichment services. These economic benefits, while tangible, are difficult to quantify.

Vulnerabi
lity and Potential Losses
FEMA requires that an estimation of loss be conducted for the identified hazards to include the number of potential structures impacted by the hazards and the total potential costs. The analysis of potential losses calculated in Table I-4 used the best data currently available to produce an understanding of potential loss.

These estimates may be used to understand relative risk from hazards and potential losses. There ar e uncertainties in any loss estimation method, resulting from lack of scientific study and the exact result of hazard effects on the built environment, and from the use of approximations that are necessary for a comprehensive analysis.

Table I-4: Summary of Vulnerabilities and Potential Loss Hazard Type Impacts/Costs
Climate Change
Impacts: Climate change will cause multiple effects to infrastructure and community public health.

Warmer weather associated with climate change will result in more heat related illness. Drier weather will place increasing demands on imported and well water, and may lead to long lasting draughts that result in water rationing.

Costs: Climate change costs are difficult to specify. They will occur and accrue over centuries. As temperatures rise, additional costs for climate control such as air conditioning will occur. Less precipitation may result in depletion of stored and ground water reserves with potential for increased water costs and rationing. Much of these costs will be borne by individuals and families. Increased costs will also affect businesses and government owned facilities. Researchers at UC Berkeley (Science, May 2017) concluded Tulare County
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 2023
Annex I-21
611
that for every 1-degree Fahrenheit increase in global temperatures, the U.S. economy stands to lose about

0.7 percent of its Gross Domestic Product, with each degree of warming costing more than the last.

Dam Inundation
Impacts: Success and Terminus Dams have large inundation areas

Costs: A rapid failure of Success or Terminus Dam would result in catastrophic loss of life and injury, and property loss. Map B-6 depicts the potential footprint for dam inundation. Specifics of the inundation curves are contained in the dam Emergency Action Plans which are limited distribution documents. The potential injury and death from a short notice dam failure could be in the 10,000s. Total losses within the County to school facilities could exceed $1,000,000,000.

Drought
Impacts: Drought produces a variety of impacts that span many sectors of the economy. Reduced crops productivity; increased fire hazard; reduced water levels; increased livestock and wildlife mortality; and rationing are a few examples of direct impacts. These problems can result in increased prices for food and lumber, unemployment, reduced tax revenues, increased crime, and foreclosures on bank loans to farmers and businesses, and migration. Populations that rely on or are affected by a lack of water or annual rainfall are most directly affected by droughts. The County is dependent on imported water for most of its needs. During prolonged draughts, water rationing is possible resulting in potentially higher water costs and loss of private and public landscaping.

Costs: Potential costs from draught to the County and its communities are difficult to quantify and are dependent upon draught duration and severity. In addition to increased costs for water, prolonged draught may result in reduced property values, loss of tax revenues and migration, all of which will cause economic losses.

Extreme Heat
Impacts: Extreme heat events, present serious health risks to the County’s most vulnerable populations.

The effects of extreme heat (over 84°F) on human health are well documented. Increased temperature or extended periods of elevated temperatures can increase heat-related mortality, cardiovascular-related mortality, respiratory mortality, and heart attacks, while increasing hospital admissions and emergency room visits. Extreme heat can also affect a person’s ability to thermo-regulate, causing heat stress and sometimes leading to death.

Costs: Extreme heat results in increased electricity usage and additional health care costs. While additional power costs affect both commercial and residential properties, added health care costs impact individuals and families. Extreme heat may reduce economic activity if prolonged.

Flood
Impacts: Flooding occurs throughout the County during periods of heavy rain due to inadequate drainage.

The flat geography also contributes to ponding.

Tulare County
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 2023
Annex I-22
612
Costs: There are no accurate costs values associated with past flood events. Future flood incidents will likely result in structural damage and lost economic activity. Flood costs to County school districts could be in excess of $1,000,000,000.

Terrorism
Impacts: Terrorist attacks against schools are an unfortunate but real potential vulnerability. Previous incidents have targeted single facilities and resulted in mass fatalities. Likely impacts from a terrorist attack on a school are multiple deaths and injuries, damage to facilities and loss of confidence in community cohesion.

Costs: The costs of terrorist attacks are difficult to quantify. In addition to emergency services response costs and damage to facilities, the community costs are real but intangible. Individual costs include medical and funeral expenses. Long term increased law enforcement and security costs are also likely to occur.

Based upon previously occurring incidents and the risk assessment, the following hazards are most likely to affect Tulare:

• Climate Change
• Dam Inundation
• Drought
• Extreme heat
• Flood
• Terrorism

I.4 Capabilities Assessment

The reason for conducting a capability assessment is to identify TCOE’s capacity to successfully implement mitigation activities. Understanding internal and external processes, resources and skills forms the basis of implementing a successful HMP. Understanding strengths and weaknesses also helps ensure that goals and objectives are realistic and attainable.

The planning team conducted an assessment of TCOE’s capabilities that contribute to the reduction of long- term vulnerabilities to hazards. The capabilities include authorities and policies, such as legal and regulatory resources, staff, and fiscal resources. Staff resources include technical personnel such as planners/engineers with knowledge of d evelopment and land management and an understanding of natural or human -caused hazards. The planning team also considered ways to expand on and improve existing policies and programs with the goal of integrating hazard mitigation into the day-to-day activities and programs of TCOE. In carrying out the capability assessment, several areas were examined:

• Planning and regulatory capabilities
• Administrative and technical resources
• Fiscal resources including grants, mutual aid agreements, operating funds and access to funds • Technical and staff resources to assist in implementing/overseeing mitigation activities • Previous and Ongoing Mitigation Activities

Table I-5 provides a list of TCOE’s capabilities:

x J Tule River Tribe
The Tule River Indian Tribe (hereafter referred to as the Tule River Tribe) is a F ederally-recognized tribe that inhabits the Tule River Indian Reservation, which was established in 1873. Figure J-1 provides a map of the Reservation.

J.1 COMMUNITY PROFILE
Geography and Climate: Established in 1873, the Tule River Indian Reservation is estimated to cover almost 85 square miles of rugged foothill lands of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The reservation is located in a remote rural area approximately 20 miles from the nearest town of P orterville. The Reservation is accessible only by one winding paved road that follows the meandering South Fork of the Tule River. It is isolated in a rugged setting that allows for privacy and for development independent from urban or recreational sprawl. The Tribe also owns 40 acres in the Porterville Airport Industrial Park and 79.9 acres in the foothill scenic development corridor along Highway 190.

Government: The Tule River Tribal Council, which was created by the constitution and bylaws of the Tule River Tribe and approved January 15, 1936, conducts executive, legislative, and business functions. The Tribal Council consists of nine council members elected by secret ballot. The elected officials then decide who will perform the functions of chairman, vice chairman, secretary, and treasurer.

Population and demographics: The Tule River Tribe has a population of 1490. The Tribe consists of Yokut, Western Mono, and Tubatulabal peoples.

Economy: The Tule River Tribe has three enterprises that assist the tri be in making their community a better place. Through these enterprises, the Tule River Tribe is able to be a self-sufficient entity improving the everyday lives of their members. The enterprises are:
• Eagle Mountain Casino is the only full- service casino in Tulare County offering local residents gaming 24 hours a day
• Tule River Airport Hanger is a 20,000-square foot facility that is a lease property • Eagle Feather Trading Post is one of the largest convenience stores in Tulare County, located on Hwy 190 just above Lake Success. The store has a full line of groceries, cold beer, wine, fishing and bait supplies
Development in hazard prone areas:

Because population growth was less than two percent per year since approval of the 2011 MJLHMP, there has been no development in hazard prone areas that has affected overall vulnerability of the County.

Development that did occur, was primarily infill in urban areas where vulnerabilities are well understood and described.

Tulare County
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 2023
Annex J-1
623
The new MJLHMP addresses the new hazard of climate change. This hazard impacts the entire City.

Development in the City, the State and globally with increased carbon emissions will result in increasing overall vulnerabilities to its impacts.

J.2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
Hazards: While the Tule River Tribe faces many of the hazards that are present in the County, the severity of the hazards is different . Hazards in the Reservation with unlikely frequency, limited extent, limited magnitude and low significance were not included. These include dam failure, earthquake, earthquake liquefaction - subsidence, flood, civil unrest, levee failure and terrorism/cyber terrorism. Because of it s location in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Reservation faces more severe threat from wildland fires and winter storms. Table J-1 below provides a summary of hazards. There are no hazards that are unique to the Tribe.

Guidelines for Hazard Rankings
Frequency of Occurrence:

Highly Likely Near 100% probability in next year
Likely Between 10 and 100% probability in next year or at least one chance in ten years Occasional Between 1 and 10% probability in next year or at least one chance in next 100 years Unlikely Less than 1% probability in next 100 years

J.3 RISK ASSESSMENT
The intent of this section is to assess the Tule River Tribe’s vulnerability separate from that of the Operational Area as a whole, which has analyzed and described in Section 5.3 Risk Assessment in the base plan. This risk assessment analyzes the population, property, and other assets vulnerable to the hazards ranked of medium or high significance that may vary from other parts of the planning area.

Vulnerabilities and Potential Losses:

A risk assessment determines the vulnerability of assets within the Tribal lands by evaluating the inventory of existing property exposed to a hazard. The population and economy are considered as part of the overall County analysis. A quantitative vulnerability assessment is limited to the exposure buildings, and infrastructures to the identified hazards. This risk assessment includes those hazards that are natural and terrorism.

Populations at Risk
The Tule River Tribe has a population of 1490.

Economic Risks
Economic risks are associated with damage or loss of the Tribes three major revenue producing enterprises.

They are:
• Eagle Mountain Casino is the only full- service casino in Tulare County offering local residents gaming 24 hours a day
• Tule River Aero-Industries is a 20,000-square foot facility that is a major engine and airframe repair station equipped with a full line aircraft sales department • Eagle Feather Trading Post is one of the largest convenience stores in Tulare County, located on Hwy 190 just above Lake Success. The store has a full line of groceries; cold beer, wine, fishing and bait supplies

Vulnerability and Potential Losses
FEMA requires that an estimation of loss be conducted for the identified hazards to include the number of potential structures impacted by the hazards and the total potential costs. The analysis of potential losses calculated in Table J-4 used the best data currently available to produce an understanding of potential loss.

These estimates may be used to understand relative risk from hazards and potential losses. There are uncertainties in any loss estimation method, resulting from lack of scientific study and the exact result of hazard effects on the built environment, and from the use of approximations that are necessary for a comprehensive analysis.

Table J-4: Summary of Vulnerabilities and Potential Loss Hazard Type Impacts/Costs
Climate Change
Impacts: Climate change will cause multiple effects to infrastructure and community public health.

Warmer weather associated with climate change will result in more heat related illness. Drier weather will place increasing demands on surface river water and well water, and may lead to long lasting draughts that result in water rationing.

Costs: Climate change costs are difficult to specify. They will occur and accrue over centuries. As temperatures rise, additional costs for climate control such as air conditioning will occur. Less precipitation may result in depletion of stored and ground water reserves with potential for increased water costs and rationing. Much of these costs will be borne by individuals and families. Increased costs will also affect businesses and government owned facilities. Researchers at UC Berkeley (Science, May 2017) concluded that for every 1-degree Fahrenheit increase in global temperatures, the U.S. economy stands to lose about

0.7 percent of its Gross Domestic Product, with each degree of warming costing more than the last.

Drought
Impacts: Drought produces a variety of impacts that span many sectors of the economy. Reduced crops productivity; increased fire hazard; reduced surface river water levels; increased livestock and wildlife mortality; and rationing are a few examples of direct impacts. These problems can result in increased prices for food and lumber, unemployment, reduced tax revenues, increased crime, and foreclosures on bank loans to farmers and businesses, and migration. Populations that rely on or are affected by a lack of water or annual rainfall are most directly affected by droughts. The County is dependent on surface river water for most of its needs. During prolonged draughts, water rationing is possible resulting in potentially higher water costs and loss of private and public landscaping.

Costs: Potential costs from draught to the County and its communities are difficult to quantify and are dependent upon draught duration and severity. In addition to increased costs for water, prolonged draught may result in reduced property values, loss of tax revenues and migration, all of which will cause economic losses.

Extreme Heat
Impacts: Extreme heat events, present serious health risks to the County’s most vulnerable populations.

The effects of extreme heat (over 84°F) on human health are well documented. Increased temperature or extended periods of elevated temperatures can increase heat-related mortality, cardiovascular-related mortality, respiratory mortality, and heart attacks, while increasing hospital admissions and emergency room visits. Extreme heat can also affect a person’s ability to thermo-regulate, causing heat stress and sometimes leading to death.

Tulare County
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 2023
Annex J-8
630

Costs: Extreme heat results in increased electricity usage and additional health care costs. While additional power costs affect both commercial and residential properties, added health care costs impact individuals and families. Extreme heat may reduce economic activity if prolonged.

Winter Storm
Impacts: Winter storms may result in property damage road closures and damage to roadways and bridges.

Costs: Costs to the Tribe will include emergency response and repair of damaged facilities. Costs are likely to be less than $10,000,000.

Based upon previously occurring incidents and the risk assessment, the following hazards are most likely to affect Tulare:

• Climate Change
• Drought
• Extreme heat
• Wildland Fire
• Winter Storms

Wildland fire poses a critical threat to the Tule River Tribe due to its geography and remoteness. A list of recent wildland fire is detailed in Table J-5 below

J.4 CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENT

The reason for conducting a capability assessment is to identify the Tule River Tribe’ s capacity to successfully implement mitigation activities. Understanding internal and external processes, resources and skills forms the basis of implementing a successful HMP. Understanding strengths and weaknesses also helps ensure that goals and objectives are realistic and attainable.

The planning team conducted an assessment of the Tribe’s capabilities that contribute to the reduction of long-term vulnerabilities to hazards. The capabilities include authorities and policies, such as legal and regulatory resources, staff, and fiscal resources. Staff resources include technical personnel such as planners/engineers with knowledge of development and land management pract ices and an understanding of natural or human-caused hazards. The planning team also considered ways to expand on and improve existing policies and programs with the goal of integrating hazard mitigation into the day-to- day activities and programs of the T ribe. In carrying out the capability assessment, several areas were examined:

• Planning and regulatory capabilities
• Administrative and technical resources
• Fiscal resources including grants, mutual aid agreements, operating funds and access to funds • Technical and staff resources to assist in implementing/overseeing mitigation activities • Previous and Ongoing Mitigation Activities

Tables J-6 through J-9 provide a list of the Tribe’s capabilities.

Annex O Tulare Irrigation District
The Tulare Irrigation District was organized September 21, 1889 and is a political subdivision of the State of California – an i ndependent agency operating under the California Water Code. Their purpose is to obtain and deliver a surface water supplies for the purpose of agricultural irrigation in the District and for the groundwater recharge efforts within the basin underlying the District. The District must also operate and maintain 330 miles of canal and approximately 30 miles of pipeline along with 1,110 acres of groundwater recharge/regulation basins.

The District delivers surface water to approximately 230 farms . The exterior boundary of the District encompasses an area of 77,000 acres (including the City of Tulare which is not part of the District).Therefore, the net District acreage is approximately 70,000 acres.

The ongoing activities within the District generally include:
• Rehabilitation of existing infrastructure and water conveyance systems. • Expansion of groundwater recharge efforts.
• Pursuit of water management opportunities with other entities and districts to maximize water supplies and reduce the cost of water to landowners.
• Exploration and pursuit of additional water sources for the District. • Training of District personnel in the operations and distribution of surface water to minimize wate r
l
osses and provide optimal service to landowners.
• The im plementation of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ( SCADA) systems to enhance water management capabilities and minimize the loss of surface water.

Annex P Terra Bella Sewer Maintenance District
The Terra Bella WWTF is located at 9832 Road 238, .25 miles north of Avenue 95 in Terra Bella, California and is regulated by Waste Discharge Requirement (WDRs) Order No. 95 -029. The WWTF’s serves a population of approximately 1019 with 518 residential and commercial connections. The system has a design average annual flow of 300,000 GPD. A backup generator powers the WWTF, and associated lift stations, in the event of a power outage.

The County has the capability to provide reclamation water, via secondary effluent discharge, to a neighboring farmer for orchard irrigation. When a sufficient quantity of treated effluent is available, it can be pumped to a reclamation basin for the farmers use under WDR Order No. 95-184. In February 2007, the County ceased providing reclamation water to the neighboring farmer at the request of the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

ct Website
The C
ounty of Tulare began community outreach efforts mid 2021 with the release of the project website which served as the primary host of project updates and opportunities to engage with the development of the plan. The website was released in English and is compatible with automatic web service translation services. Project Staff contact information and a listserv registration lives on the home page. Other pages on the website share educational videos, project timeline and process, emergency preparedness resources, links to previous related planning documents, and an event calendar. The project website can be accessed here:
https://tularecounty.ca.gov/rma/planning-building/tulare-county-adaptation-and-resiliency-plan/

ii.

Informational Video
Shortl
y following the release of the website, County Staff posted a 5-minute informational video created to introduce the purpose of the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plan. Local decision-makers and Stakeholders were asked to be lead presenters in this video to share the County’s goals through recognizable and respected community figures. Including Stakeholders in this process also served as a first opportunity to encourage local experts to play a part in the development of the plan during stakeholder outreach efforts. Captions were made available in both English and Spanish. The video was posted on the website, shared with Stakeholders, and viewed independently more than 50 times online. The video can be watched here:
https://vimeo.com/user139870229?embedded=true&source=owner_name&owner=139870229

iii.

Initial Public Survey
The C
ounty’s Initial public survey was released the Summer of 2021 in both English and Spanish. The survey consisted of 17 questions regarding residents’ experiences with natural and climate hazards, their greatest concerns, their level of preparedness, and what strategies they would like the County to prioritize. The survey was posted on the project website, shared through social media, and promoted at every public engagement event.

iv. Press
Releases and Paid Advertisements
Tulare
County created a 30 second educational video to be aired on the station KMPH. The video ran 47 times over the span of 2 weeks (9/13/2021-10/3/2021) inviting the broader community to engage in the preparation of the Tulare County

These social media posts will remain on the feed for viewing. Example graphics created for social media engagement can be found in Appendix A.

vi. Secon
d Public Survey
On
July 19th, t
he County released a detailed public survey which asked participants 25 questions about specific hazard events, their own backgrounds, their level of disaster preparedness, and what they believe to be the best solutions to mitigate the impact of future hazard events. This survey was promoted at public outreach events.

Approximately six responses were collected. The complete survey results can be found in Appendix A.

The respondents live in the central valley region of Tulare County and recognized drought and extreme heat as the hazards they were most concerned about. Five of the six respondents selected social media as a preferred method to receive disaster preparedness information with radio and public awareness campaigns being the next highest preference with four selections.

b. Publi
c Engagement
The C
ounty of Tulare hosted and attended 11 community events throughout the region to receive input from a variety of residents in terms of where they live and the hazards their communities likely experience. To best plan a broad array of community outreach efforts, the County catalogued local community events by major geographic areas: North Foothills, Central Foothills, South Foothills, Mountains, North Valley, Central Valley, and South Valley.

At least one event was held in each of the geographic regions. Events were prioritized based on their expected attendance to maximize potential interactions. Open town halls were held in communities where no suitable community events were identified. Many of the events were advertised through social media posts and flyer distribution. Table 1 shows details about each public engagement event. All posterboard detailed results can be found in Appendix A.

Su
mmary of Findings
After
reviewing the responses from the community engagement events, the County Staff determined that overall, community members are most concerned about extreme heat, drought, and wildfire. These three interrelated hazards are compounded by the effects of climate change recognized by the participants as being the greatest threats to their community. Participants attending the Woodville (20%), Porterville (19%), Springville (14%), and Lindsay (13%) events selected invasive species as a primary threat relatively more than participants at other events.

Flooding was chosen as a primary hazard relatively more at the events hosted in Porterville (10%), Visalia (10%), Allensworth (9%), and Springville (8%). Wildfire was prioritized over extreme heat and drought in the mountain and Foothill regions.

In adapting to these hazards, participants prioritized emergency water systems as their top mitigation strategy closely followed by emergency services such as firefighters and medical responders. Participants at the Visalia (33%), Allensworth (24%), and Goshen (21%) events voted relatively high in favor of air conditioning. The participants in Camp Nelson added an option which received the majority of the responses: proper forest management (57%). Participants attending the Lindsay event added alternative solutions: local affordable energy (in reference to air conditioning and emergency backup energy), solar panel permit streamlining (in reference to air conditioning and resilient micro grids), ponding basins (in reference to flooding and ground water recharge).

Overall, participants prefer to be notified of a disaster event via phone alert and social media. However, participants noted the need for increased broadband coverage in some communities who do not receive strong cell service.

lder Worksheets
During
the second Stakeholder Workshop, County Staff walked through a thorough questionnaire created to gauge local capacity in responding to hazard events, record historic impacts from previous hazards, and document community vulnerabilities as they related to natural and climate hazards. By collecting this information from Stakeholders and the organizations they represent, the County of Tulare was able to piece together a regional picture showing the current status of climate adaptation and hazard mitigation. These worksheets helped create a baseline assessment. County Staff made themselves available to partner jurisdictions who requested support in completing the worksheet. In May of 2022, County Staff held a workshop with school district representatives to assist them in completing their worksheets. The Stakeholder Worksheet can be seen in full in Appendix B. ii.

Stakeholder Survey
During
the third Stakeholder Meeting, County Staff released a Stakeholder Survey that asked 25 questions about specific hazard events, the Stakeholders’ backgrounds, their level of disaster preparedness, and what they believe to be the best solutions to mitigate the impact of future hazard events. Time was given during the Workshop for attendees to complete the survey and ask questions. It was also distributed through email to all Stakeholders following the Workshop. Approximately 20 responses were collected.

Su
mmary of Findings
Stakeh
olders identified social media (17 out of 20) and radio (14 out of 20) as the best formats to receive information on disaster preparedness. Overall, Stakeholders were “extremely concerned” about the threat of drought (13 out of 20) and extreme heat (8 out of 20) as well as “very concerned” about energy emergencies (8 out of 20). When asked what kind of projects the County should pursue to mitigate the impact from hazards, Stakeholders selected, ”Retrofit critical infrastructure such as roads and bridges, flood control systems, water and wastewater treatment plants, and power distribution systems” (13 out of 20) and, “Implement projects that mitigate the potential impacts of climate change” (10 out of 20) as high priorities. Furthermore, Stakeholders recognized public education, emergency management, and the update of planning and building codes as priorities to reduce the damage risk of hazard.

Stakeholder Activities
During
the second Stakeholder Workshop hosted by the County of Tulare, Stakeholders in attendance were asked to participate in an interactive live polling activity. County Staff presented seven questions and shared the results in real time to foster group discussions and provide a county-wide perspective on hazard priorities for the remainder of the presentation. The figures below represent the responses received from approximately 45 participants and 170 interactions. Figures 6-12 below show the responses to the 7 questions. The complete survey results can be found in Appendix B.

mmary of Findings
Gener
ally, participating Stakeholders were at least ‘somewhat concerned’ about every climate and natural hazard facing the County of Tulare; however, extreme heat, drought, and wildfire were viewed as the most threatening hazards. Among the strategies to mitigate the potential impacts of these hazards, Stakeholders in attendance prioritized emergency water systems and emergency services. The vast majority of participating Stakeholders selected phone alert and social media as the best option for residents to receive emergency notifications.
