Project Kickoff
Meeting Objectives
Project goals and expectations
Staffing and communication protocols
Hazard mitigation plan development overview
Review public engagement and outreach process
Finalize critical facilities and hazards of concerns list
Identify mitigation strategies
Discuss past hazard events
Review work plan and schedule
Project Goal and Objectives
Create a LHMP to identify and
address hazards
Develop Actions that are easily
implementable and
achievable
Achieve certification by FEMA for
pre and post-disaster funding
Goals for Hazard Mitigation Planning
LHMP Goals Implement the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to better
prepare Santa Rosa for disaster (City of Santa Rosa General Plan, Noise and Safety Element, Objective NS-A-4).
Prohibit development in high-risk geologic and seismic hazard areas to avoid exposure to seismic and geologic hazards (City of Santa Rosa General Plan, Noise and Safety Element, Objective NS-C).
Minimize hazards associated with storm flooding (City of Santa Rosa General Plan, Noise and Safety Element, Objective NS-D).
Minimize the potential for wildland fires (City of Santa Rosa General Plan, Noise and Safety Element, Objective NS-G).
Prepare for climate changes (City of Santa Rosa General Plan, Noise and Safety Element, Objective NS-H).
LHMP Goals Provide for the safety of Santa Rosa citizens by maintaining
efficient, well-trained, and adequately equipped police and fire personnel (City of Santa Rosa General Plan, Public Services and Facilities Element, Objective PSF-E-3).
Require erosion and sedimentation control measures to maintain an operational drainage system, preserve drainage capacity, and protect water quality(City of Santa Rosa General Plan, Public Services and Facilities Element, Objective PSF-I-3).
Maintain and enhance a disaster-resistant region by reducing the potential for loss of life, property damage, and environmental degradation from natural disasters, while accelerating economic recovery from those disasters (2010 LHMP).
Reduce the number of public and private buildings within the City that are vulnerable to the effects of earthquakes, flooding, wildfire, and landslides (2010 LHMP).
LHMP Project Objectives Continued coordination with key stakeholders and
other agencies.• Who are key stakeholders to contact?
A flexible and engaging public outreach campaign. • What are the lessons learned from previous outreach
events? Foster better communication and coordination
within the City and surrounding areas. • What Cities/Agencies should be contacted regarding
this project? Address aging infrastructure issues to
reduce/minimize future hazards and disasters.• What infrastructure is at risk in your opinion?
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Development
Plan Requirements – Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
Describe all hazards that affect the community. Provide rationale for excluding recognized
hazards.Locatio

future events
Hazard profile
Plan Requirements – Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
Vulnerability Assessment• City’s vulnerability to each hazard• Potential impacts of each hazard
(number and importance of affected structures and areas)
• Identifies repetitive loss properties• Includes potential dollar losses
Plan Requirements – Mitigation Strategy
Goals
Identification and analysis of mitigation actions Comprehensive Focus on built environment
Action Plan Prioritizes actions Describes implementation and administration Includes cost-benefit review
Plan Requirements – Planning Process
Describe: How the plan was
prepared Who was involved Opportunities for public
and stakeholder involvement
Review and inclusion of existing plans, reports, studies, etc.
Continual public participation
Monitoring and updating of the plan
Stakeholders must include: Local and regional
agencies involved in hazard mitigation
Agencies that regulate development
Neighborhood communities
LHMP Planning Team Agency representatives to advise and
contribute to plan preparation Four LHMP Planning Team meetings:
• Kick Off Meeting - Today• Meeting 1 – Review and discuss hazard
mitigation process, and identification and ranking of hazards
• Meeting 2 – Review and discussion of the hazard profiles and risk assessment
• Meeting 3 – Review and prioritize of the draft mitigation actions and provide training on monitoring and implementation.
